Chapter 2:
Jill came running out of her dorm at full pace. "What's going on?" She screamed. Her eyes wide with fear and curiosity.
"I just got attacked by a Strigori, their after you Jill." Sydney said gravely.
"Wait, so you mean that a Strigori was just here and they attacked you because they want me then.." Jill's eyes fell to dead body on the ground then flew up to the bloody stake in Eddies hand. " Eddie killed it?" We all nodded. Jill broke down into a cry and Eddie moved over and wrapped his arms around her. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and speed dialled Abe.
"Abe Mazure speaking" He answered
"Abe it's Adrian, Sydney just got attacked by Strigori they want Jill, she's safe here any more they know she's here. They are going to keep coming back for her, they are not going to stop until she is theirs" I could hear Abe's mind ticking, trying to figure out what to do.
"I'll be there tomorrow" He finally replied and I disconnected.
"Who was that?" Sydney's small voice came from around the corner.
"Just Abe, he's going to be here tomorrow and we are going to have to relocate Jill, they know she's here now." She nodded in reply, while she tried to put this together. "Come on lets go home"
I unlocked the door and grab a can of coke for Sydney and I. I handed her the coke then collapsed onto the orange felt lounge, Sydney sat next to me and I wrapped my arms around her as she laid her head on my chest. I brushed a kiss across the top of her head. "I love you." I whispered. She looked up to me and kissed me I felt her warmth and happiness spread though her to me, she shifted her weight to face me and intertwined her fingers into my hair. I placed my hand on her hips and pulled her closer to me so she was straddling my hips. She pulled away "I love you too" she said then got up put her can in the bin and walked to the bathroom and locked the door. I sighed, why did she always have to do this? I thought, then got up and walked into the bedroom and stared at the two plane tickets to Paris poking out of my top drawer. Valentine's Day was one month from now and I was hoping to be in Paris for that day. I decided that as soon as Sydney got out of the shower I would ask her to go there with me. I knew that we had only been dating for a couple of days now but I knew for sure that I loved her more then I loved Rose and I wasn't going to let time get in the way of the trip to Paris. I grabbed the tickets and shoved them in my pocket along with a card and put a single red rose inside my jacket then I went and sat by the TV and watched some boring show that I wasn't even interested in. I heard the water turn off in the bathroom and the door unlocked. Sydney stepped out make-up-less and beautiful in her red silk pyjamas.
"Hey babe, can you come here for a moment" I yelled out from behind the TV.
"Yeah. . ." She replied with caution. When she rounded the TV I walked towards her and held her hand in mine.
"Okay, so I know that we have only been dating for a couple of days, but I don't care because I am in love with you and I wont let something like time get in the way. I also know that Valentines Day is next month.." I released her hands and reached inside my jacket pulled out the rose, then pulled the card and the tickets out of my pocket. "I was wondering if you would go to Paris with me for Valentines Day. .?" Shock registered on her face then it turned to pure excitement and she jumped into my arms screaming yes, yes, yes! I laughed and then pulled her up so her legs were wrapped around my waist and her back was pushed up against a wall and I kissed her with such fierceness I never knew I had. I poured all my love and happiness into the kiss and felt it flow through her. I lifted her up into my arms so I was carrying her then I carried her into the bedroom.
