Strange People Chapter 2
Four groups of people stood before us as we stared in curiosity. They each looked different from each other especially there auras.
Once group was a group of extremely pale and beautiful group. One of them I knew well and by the way he was standing he looked like he was the leader. Dimitri was his name. He is the guy who girls would love to date. Chocolate brown hair that went down to his neck and tea brown eyes showed as his features. All of his group was pale and was as beautiful as he was. I looked closer to only realize that there was a girl in the group. Right away I grew disappointed.
You see I have had a crush on Dimitri ever since we met in Middle School. I have never had the chance to tell him how I felt because a girl had asked him out before I had had the guts to tell him myself. In the first week of my freshmen year he started to notice me and he began chatting. I was hoping I could ask him on his birthday which was only a couple weeks away. That will have to wait though.
The next group was a group of three girls and three boys each with a different aura. I wasn't able to make out there features because they were standing farthest away from the fire that was built.
The last group was a group of guys all of them looking familiar. One of them looked distinctly familiar. I had to look for a while and squint before I began to realize that the person that looked familiar was Chris. What the heck is he doing here with all of these people that I have never seen before?
"Vanessa, are you ok?" asked Ashley. Apparently she had quickly noticed me being silent and staring. Quickly I nodded and told her that I saw my brother.
"Yeah, I just don't understand this at all."
This was then we started hearing them talk and we both quickly became quite.
"I don't understand. What is this all about?" asked Chris with a tint of anger in his voice. I could tell that he was all ready annoyed.
"You are aware of what is happening in this, don't you?" a black muscular guy asked. He had that same tone.
"Yes, and I am trying to fix it. You telling me what is going on won't fix anything! So why don't we discuss on what the main problem is and not so much worrying about me. Got it?" Man, what's got him all in a bunch? Our town I recalled didn't need to be fixed.
"Hey you two fighting isn't going to help either. The only way we can accomplish this is if we all work together," replied Dimitri. His voice drew the both of them quite and they started to discuss about an enemy coming onto a territory. This made me bored and I began to get down. Sadly my legs didn't work well with me and I slipped on one of the branches and I fell hitting lots of branches and pine needles. I had landed on my back with a loud thump that I was pretty sure was heard. The ground was cold, hard and covered in pine needles. They didn't help with the support either. I froze in fear as I started to hear voices.
"What was that?" and "I heard it come from over there?" Oh man, if Chris found out that I was here I wouldn't hear the end of it. Then there were the words that were able to get me to move just then.
"I smell ease droppers." It had to take a moment before I was able to get up but I did. My back was in serious pain from the blow but I would be able to live through it. Quickly as I had fallen was when Ashley dropped down from the tree.
She tried to help me out and ask if I was ok but I caught her off saying that we needed to move if we would not be able to get caught.
We both began sprinting straight until there was a turnoff. "Vanessa you go left and I will go right" yelled Ashley before I obeyed and ran the opposite direction from where she was going.
The cold brisk air was of no help as I ran and neither was the pain of my back but I kept going for my sake. After ten minutes of running I decided that I was safe and stopped to take a breather. My big puffs of air made a lot of noise and soon I was breathing normally. I took a few slow steps before a hand went over my mouth and I screamed within it.
A soft whisper reached my ears as a soft as a baby bunny. It was asking me to not scream and that it wouldn't hurt me. I took a quick glance to see that it was Dimitri who was speaking. Right now I wasn't exactly sure if I should trust him or not on this one but we will see what will happen.
"If I let go of my hand will you not scream." I didn't answer except for a nod. Once he took his hand off I started to run only to catch up with me and grab my wrist along with it.
"Please let me go home. I'm tired and I have somewhere to go." I said without trying to show the least bit of terror in my voice. He saw it though and I could tell by his expression.
"Why are you afraid of me?" He had concern and sadness in his voice that made me want to hug him.
"I'm not. I just…well…need to…" I couldn't finish because just then Dimitri hugged me. His warm embrace engulfed me and immediately became tired and fell asleep not knowing that my memory was being wiped clean of tonight.
