I don't own Night World Lisa does, so not fair!! Why won't she share! *whining* :( But atleast I own the characters that I created in this fanfic.
"Hi, I'm Mary-Lynette Carter. But, everyone calls me Lynnie. I moved here froma small town but, now I want to start over." I smiled at my new class, I'd moved to Salem for my senior year in high school and a chance to get to start over, like I had said. I couldn't handle losing Ash it wasn't hard I'd just missed him so much. I might have gotten through with it if not for the whole Jeremy thing. And besides the girls were still there and if Ash really did come back than they'd tell him where to find me.
We talked on the phone everyday about my new home in Salem. It was a big red bricked house, with three floors, five bedrooms, and three bathrooms. But, like I'd told them, I wanted my own space so I took the attic bedroom. There was a sunroof up there and i could see the stars at night. I love that. I painted the room midnight blue, and gave it faint white dots to replicate stars. It truelly was beautiful.
I now went to Salem Eastwood Academy (or Sea) and almost everyone who lived on my new street went there, so I wasn't that alone. But, still the teacher made me get up in front of the class and tell them about me. I was more confiedent now that i was in a city rather than a small town. I'd dyed my hair blonde (the golden blonde) and gave myself blue streaks, I'd rown since I'd seen Ash and so had my hair, now almost at my waist. My voice changed the slightest, lighter more scrilly, but it was cute.
The first day at a new school wasn't totally petrifing. I had already completed most of my classes and the one's I didn't complete, I was quick to learn and knew the basics with flying colors. I was smart, beautiful, and rather or not I was scared to be it... new.
I sat back down next to my neighbor/friend, Franny, she was a petite, red-head and I mean real red not orane (natural), with a killer smile and a awesome personality. Although she was a bit goofy, she was always fun.
The day flew by, and only one teacher wanted me to introduce myself infront of the whole class, and that was homeroom so I guess it was natural. Next thing I knew it was lunch and I was sitting outside under a oat tree eating with Franny, and another girl who I was begining to like, Zoey. Zoey, looked like Franny only a better sense of style and a cooler attitude.
"So, what was it like in a small town?" Zoey asked, "I hear whenever your in a small town, it's cute guys overload."
I laughed, yeah right. "More like rapist overload. 'Cause all the cute one's will rape ya." We laughed, all three of us like we'd been friends since the begining of time.
"Well, welcome to Salem, don't get shocked if you run into witches." It was a joke, and I faked laughed, because I knew that i very might run in with some witches.
"Oh, don't look now but, here comes Derek." Franny whispered evily to Zoey.
Zoey blushed and elbowed her, "Shut up."
"Hey, Derek, could you come here a second?" yelled Franny, and Zoey panikly looked over at me and I shrugged my shoulders.
"Sup?" Derek was a tall, handsome, brown haired jock. He looked like the one who'd protect the nerds from the other jocks and could still keep a rep as the coolest, hottest guy in school. He looked over at me, "Hey, Carter, right?"
"That's my last name, call my Lynnie." I streeched out my hand, and smiled brightly.
He shook it and smiled back, "Nice to meet you, but, I think you look more like a Mary."
I laughed, "Are you in my homeroom?" I asked..
"Sure, and and nice eyes by way." I beamed.
"Hi Derek!" Zoey bursted out, smiling hard.
"Hi, Zeo."
"It's Zoey, and I was wondering if you saw Salem witches the movie? You know the one that's suppose to tell about what if the history of the witches happen in our present time." Zoey seemed desprate.
"Nah, I like my history were it is, history." Derek rejected nicely, politely, and smoothly. And with that he walked away.
"What was that?" Franny shot at Zoey, "No one askes someone to the movies like that, and you!" she said turning to me. "You just sat there and flirted like a maniac."
I flushed, "I was not! That's called introducing, a meet and greet kinda thing if you will. That wasn't flirting."
"Well, stay off Derek and," she pointed to a sext redhead boy in slacking jeans and a japanese tee, "August."
"Why would I flirt with a season?" I joked and being the goofball (in a good way) that she is Franny laughed. Soon me and Zoey joined her, and then the bell rang.
"We'll find you a boyfriend later. Kay?" Zoey asked, as we all got up and collected our thing heading back to the school.
"Um, I just got here at least give me a week to get settled." I said.
Later that day Zoey, Franny, and I went to the mal to help Zoey find an outfit to ask Derek out in and one to wear on the date.
"I say we go to the body shop to get the asking, their stuff is super sexy, there's no way he'll say no." Franny said.
"I think we should go to Know Style to get the date their stuff is sexy, eligant, and charming." I agreed.
"Okay," Zoey agreed warily. Instead of just Zoey we'd all ended up buying two new additions to our wardrobe.
I had got a white mini skirt, a shirt that's sleeves hung low to the shoulders and hand diagnal white stripes against midnight blue, and midnight blue boots. The second outfit was a checkered black and yellow shirt that showed clevage, a black leather hat, black slacks, and some yellow and black jordan's.
Zoey got a ultra (and I mean ultra) mini skirt that was hot pink with pink neon lace going down the sides, a neon orange holter top that only she could pull off, and neon orange wedges, with hpt pink bangels and loops. Her date oufit was a casual red mini dress with black earings, hairs pins, bangels, and stiletto's. She looked hot.
Franny had got a pair of black jeans, a silver chain belt, a silver V-neck sweater, with sleeves that stopped right above the elbow, and black jewelry, with silver wedges. The second was a pair of tight apple bottom jeans, golden snow boots with the fur, and a simple golden tee that had in big red letters "Touch my Body," on them.
Whe walked out with our hands full of bags laghing and went home. I flopped onto my bed and thought about how I'd never shopped like this in that small ugly town. How I'd never had so many friends around me at once, laughing and having fun, and loving to be around each other. It was like I was in a movie about a girl with a perfect life. I was estatic.
Sure, I missed my old life, Kestral, Rowan, and Jade, my brother Mark. Everyone. I didn't like this life better because of that, I didn't even like this ife better, but I did have more fun and more eventful days in Salem than in Oregon that's for sure.
Oh, had I mentioned that I live in a boarding house? No! Well, I do. My father had stayed behind for Mark and for his job. So here for a school year and a summer by myself? Awesome. The other rooms belonged to Matt, Madison, Honie, Jack, and Cynthia our caretaker.
I walked downstairs to the first floor and banged on Jack's door. A tall, handsome, black haired boy with broad shoulders, and silver streaks in his hair answered. "I need you to do the laundry on the third floor for me."
"For what?" He crossed his arms over his chest.
"My next laptop download chart, I know you love 'em." I said leaning towards him.
He looked me in the eyes. "Deal, but, only for the portalbe Halo."
"Thanks Jack. Oh, and if you tell Cynthia that I'm ditching my work, I'll tell her how last fall you weren't helping Madison cram for exams, you were helping her cram her head into your-"
"Fine," he cut me off. "I'll do it and won't tell. But, you weren't here last fall how did you..?"
"You know us girls, we gossip. And to tell you the truth I really didn't think you'd give in so easyily, I was prepared to offer more but... Oh,well. Later." I walked away back upstairs. Finished my homework, watched t.v., did some at home star gazing through the sunroof and went to sleep.
Meanwhile...
Jade's P.O.V.
"What do you mean 'she's gone'?!" Ash yelled. He'd just returned from a year of proving to Lynnie that he could be good and nice and all, when we had to break the news to him. I curled up under Msrk, who'd grown alot bigger and let his hair grow out more.
"I mean she's gone. To Salem gone. Asta Lavista. Adios. Otta here-" Kestral was cut off by Rowan.
"He get's it Kest." She turned to Ash and said, "She left to look for a new start and a better chance at a better college for astronamy. We would have followed but, she says we should stay here to guide you to her."
"She left." Ash sat down. "She lft and I missed her? Why?"
"Lynnie calls everyday," I now said, every head turned towards me. "You could catch her next call, tommorrow and you guys can set flight arrangements and stuff."
"Lynnie? Your calling my M'Lin Lynnie?" Ash now said, wow he was lost.
"She prefers it, part of her new start." I said, trying to assure him. "M'Lin is just for you to say, your own little cute nickname for her." I gave a smile.
Ash smiled back. "Thanks, Jade, Rowan." We waited for the names "Mark and Kestral" too, but they never came.
Finally Kestral said, "Excuse me I helped,too."
"Kestral and Mark. I need to call her now though, where's the phone?" Before anyone could answer he was at the phone searching through the caller id.
When he found her number he pressed call.
Mary-Lynette's P.O.V.
The phone in my room ringed. "Hello?" I anserwered. And then I froze at the voice on the other line.
"Hello? May I speak to Mare, or Lynnie, or whatever?" Ash said sounding anxious.
"Ash? How... Wha... Ash?" was all I could say, I honestly for a moment thought he would forget about me, but now he has returned and I'm not even there.
"Mare. Where are you? I need to get there? Where, Mare?" Ash sounded desprate now.
Just then Matt, poked his head out the door and said, "Miss C, says shut up and go to sleep."
"Kay Matt, Ash I... I'll call you back."
"Wait! Who was that?" Now he sounded angry.
"No one, just a resadent at the home I stay at. I really gotta go."
"You stay at a home?" was his next out of the blue question.
"A boarding house, idiot. Now I really gotta go call you back?" I asked.
"Kay, but M'Lin? I did what you asked. I am good now I swear."
"I know, I know. Later."
"Later." and with that we simutaniously hung up. I cried myself to sleep that night.
*****
The next morning I woke up and did the usual. Shower, teeth, hair (pulled back in a aqua head band with few locks falling out the side for framing), breakfast, and the most important thing in my day: outfit.
Since there was a good chance I'd see Ash today so I went with the white mini skirt, white boots, and a aqua off-the-shoulders top. Madison and I drove to school together. She had long jerry curl like hair that was platnium blonde, a model's face, and porclien skin.
"Oh, what are you dressed up for?" she asked her voice soft.
"Nothing, just felt like it." Just then my cell ringed, "Cuses." I told Madi, and to the phone: "Hello?"
"It's me, I'm on a flight to Salem. Were do you live?" Ash said.
"Just come to Sea it's a school if your here before four, the mall it between four and five, and Kelling Boarding House after six."
"I'll just go to the school, the plane's just now landing."
"See you." I was cheerful.
"Bye, Mare." he hung up.
"Well, well, well. Who was that you were giving directions to?" Madi asked in a sing song voice.
"No one." When she parked in the school parking lot I jumped out and added. "You'll see if he's here on time." I smiled and left her there, stunned with her questions.
"Hey, Lynnie." My new found group, click if you will, greeted me.
"Hey guys, girls." I smiled. My click included: Zoey, Franny, and Derek. "Today's gonna be awesome, I can tell." I smiled wider.
Unwxpectedly Derek put his arm over my shoulder. "Yeah Lyn, I can tell, too." He smiled down at me. I smiled back and turned my head at Zoey with apologies in my eyes, she still looked a little hurt.
So I ducked up under Derek's arm playfully, "Come on I don't wanna be late." Zoey looked back at me with gratefulness in her smile.
"Yeah, let's go." suddenly she reached and caught my hand and we trotted to our next class together.
"Okay class, first let's introduce a new student. Now I know you all have been so excited over Mary-Lynette's arrival, but I'm sure you guys and girls can enjoy the new student, Ash Redfern" My homeroom teacher Miss Tileirs intrduced.
My jaw dropped as Ash walked in and smiled, all the girls squealed. He lied to me! He was already here when he called. I can't believe him! But, of course, I can't stay mad at Ash so I was happy he decided to surprise me. I smiled when he sat in a empty seat in front of me, turned around and looked me over. His eyes widened at my new look.
"Okay, now let's start class!" Miss Tileirs droned on and on through out the rest of class. And the next few periods went on with ease, but at lunch my stomach knotted up and i got nervous. How would I pry Franny away from my Ash and her flirty ways? Quess we'll just have to see.
I closed the door on my locker to see Ash there smiling at me. "New look." he said yes rolling over me, "New hair, new-" His eyes stopped at my skirt, wide and he looked pretty hungery, "Wow! I think I like the new M'Lin." he wrapped his arms around me in a tight hug. Of course (and i was ready for this) the electricty of the soulmate princple, then I smelled his gorgeous scent of axe and nature.
"I missed you." I said pulling away. I looked up at him. Oh, Ash how I doubted you at first, how I wondered how you could take back all the bad things you've done in just one short year. Oh how wrong was I?
I was awakened from my Ash installed transe by a now annoying voice. "Getting to know the new boy, Lynnie?" Franny said.
"We're old friends, actually." i said turning to Franny, "Ash this is...uhh.... Fransis?" I was struggling with the aftershock of Ash. "Fran! That's it, Ash this is Fran, and Fran, Ash."
Fran looked at me with attitude to the highest extent, probally because i'd just embarrassed her infront of the new man candy of the school. "Hi, Franny. But, You can call me anything you want." and here comes the flirty ways. "So, how long you two been knowing each other?" which in Fran language meant. "Are ya'll with it?"
"Just a year. We met last summer." Ash said with a smile.
That to Franny meant, "Ooh! Free snack!" so she said, "Wanna have lunch with me and the girls."
I was like, "Hello, I'm right here." But, I didn't have to say anything because, Ash slid his arm around my waist and said, "No thanks, I wanna catch up with M- I mean Lynnie." he smiled and we walked outside leaving Franny there to gawk at her rejection. We went to Ash's porsche and left the school, he took me to a valley.
It was beautiful. There was no real words that I could form to describe it just feeling. Love, passion, joy, happiness, no kind of sorrow or dispair. Just happy. It looked like the place you go when you just had a bad break up and you wanna get over it so you come here and you meet your guardian angel. I was so tranquil. It was so tranquil. I thought it was unnatural.
There were bright flowers everywere, and trees surronding a glistening lake, that looked like it was filled with purrified water from the heaven's. It was a dream.
"Ash I-" I was broke off from a hard ugent kiss from Ash. It was like the first time, only better because I haven't tasted him in so long. When he finally pulled back I looked him in the eye, and it was like I saw old me and new me in the way he see's them, First I saw old me, long black hair, a beautiful smile, nothing to compare with it, independant, childish, cute. Yet still, mature, elegant, honest, he really actually loved someone for the first time. Then, I saw me now: blonde streaking hair, adventure craving eyes, petite body shape, shown off by new clothes, and a still beautiful smile. The new me was daring, adventurous to him, yet still very much like the old Mary-Lynette Carter. I changed, oh how I thought i changed, but now seeing myself through Ash's eyes I relized. I only changed my outter person, my inner self is still in here jumping for joy at the sight of Ash.
"I missed you, Mary-Lynette Carter. I missed you! And I never want to give you up again. I changed Mare. I changed, please take me back." he was begging for me. He really wanted to haave me, I see I thought he would only come back and pretend he did good things, but I see he actually missed me how I missed him. " I look up to the stars at night, and see a face. Not just anyone's yours, I see you crying and I just want to confort you, but, I can't oh Mare I can't. Don't put me through this again, Mare please." He kissed my hand and against my skin he saied again in a whisper, "Please."
"Oh, Ash, I couldn't handle it either, the minute you left I missed your eyes, the way they change color, your smell, your look, you! I missed you! I never ever want to go through that again, and I wouldn't do that to you, from now on... You'll always be able to comfort me and ask me what's the matter. Do you understand me?" I asked looking up at him angryily, I was angery for him I wanted him. So I said: "Take some blood Ash, make me a vampire."
"Not now, after school Mare, after school. But, I do want to see what you've been up to."
"Okay," We settled uder the tallest tree, which was the one in the front of the lake, giving us the perfect fairytale ending look. I tilted my head back and felt a sharp sting quickly replaced with pleasure, I saw all of when he'd been doing, he didn't kill anymmore, he hunted animals, he apoligized to every person or woman he'd ever done wrong, even went to the one's he'd killed grave's and apoloziging to them and granting them peace in the second life. He'd went to Cirlcle Daybreak, and cheered for human/night wolders peace. He'd done so much, for me!
Ash's P.O.V.
Mare had been trying to change because she had had doubt's in me. But, deep down I could see she never gave up hope. Except for this one time when shee... What?!
