Chapter 2: Changes

Chloe POV

How did Alek's aunt get my phone number? This should be incredibly interesting...

I read and re-read the text message over and over for several minutes comtemplating how she got my phone number. Nothing I came up with made sense in reality. Not even Alek could have given her the number because I never gave it to him in the first place and i'm pretty sure that he can't read minds. I hope not..

Suddenly, I had a revelation: This is all a dream. Aleks not real and this day never happened. I went into the bathroom and splashed freezing cold water onto my face, hoping that its bitter feeling would be enough to snap me back into reality. Sadly, nothing happened. Its all real. Alek, the text message. And now that I think about it, hwo could I hear Alek talking about me from across the hallway? He was like almost halfway down the hallway and he doesn't talk very loud either.

Whats happening to me? Am I turning into a monster or some kind of freak? Gosh, I don't have the time to add an extra scoop of freak into my bowl. Its already completely full of other crap. I wonder what I should do? Text Amy and ask her? Nope, because I can see it now; shes going around and telling people that I'm dating the new kid. Tell mom and see what she thinks? Ehhh, thats out too because her motherly instincts would put the both of us in lock down with the police outside the door.

All she wants to do is talk right? Talking can't hurt, I mean, it might help me in some bizarre way. I'm not really sure how I know that it will help me, but somehow I just..know. All options are offically out. I'm going to talk to his aunt and see what she has to say.

I headed back to class and found that he was already back. How did he get back to class without me seeing him? My lockers right by the classroom and I peered in and he wasn't there before. How strange. Mr. Woodford had passed out the new reading list for class. What a pain! I hope its not as boring as last years. Looking over it, it didn't seem half bad.

Lets see:

Grave Mercy by: Robin LaFervers

Rift by: Andrea Cremer

The Picture of Dorian Gray by:Oscar Wilde

Dracula by: Bram Stoker

Anything But Ordinary by: Lara Avery

And the amount of girl books to boy books triumphs. YAYYY! At least I'll have something to do to keep my mind off of Alek and his brown eyes and charming smile...and his; GOSH, Chloe! Get over yourself! This is so not like you.

A new text message rang in. Its the same person from earlier. It read: Apartment 1803. Tonight at 7.

V.

Whos V? I looked at the clock and it was only about 12:30. So I still had to see him for the rest of the day and I had to meet his family before I even get to date the guy. How Interesting.

The rest of the day went better than expected, but in Chemestry, my partner got sick and she turned greener than a green bean before running out of the room when we had to disect a worm. A WORM! And since Alek didn't have a partner, we got paired up instead. Not that I minded much. The bell rang aloud and clear letting us out of this torcher chamber called school.

It was about 2:30 when I finally left and headed to work. I love working at Lana's shop. There's always some really cool clothes that come in and I love the perks of getting a discount. I always get first picks because i'm the one that unloads the boxes of the new shipments. Like the other day I found the most amazing cropped jacket. It was so cute. I called first dibbs on it and set it aside and restocked the other ones on the rack.

I finally finished unloading the boxes of items when I realized that I had to be at the aprtment in 20 minutes. I quickly disposed of the cardboard boxes and clocked out of my shift for the night. After telling Lana that I was leaving, I headed straight for the complex. I passed it everyday coming home from work so it was probably about 2 blocks from here.

On my way to the apartment building, I pulled out mt phone and texted my mom telling her that I would be late coming home tonight. By the time I finished telling my mom this entire ordeal (censoring the mystery person part) I was already at the complex. Like usual, the doorman greeted me with a friendly smile. I had known that man ever since I had started highschool. He was the one that made sure I got through the door everyday.

I headed straight for the gold plated elevator and pressed the up button. In second, the doors slid open and I stepped in pressing the 18th floor button. I was so nervous that I could barely stop myself from pressing the emergency escape button just to let me out on whatever floor there was.

The bell dinged telling me to get off. Stepping off, I walked all the way to the end of the hallway to the door with 1803 printed on it. Swallowing my fear, I knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. I could hear faint footsteps approaching. The door opened to reveal a girl about my age, if not a little older. She was a lovely tanned color with ebony black hair pulled into a half up, half-down style and a flatter curvy wasn't fat or twig skinny like all the other girls that starved or puked themselves to be that skinny.

"You must be Chloe." She greeted me with a friendly smile. "Please come in." she opened the door wider to let me in. I swear my mouth dropped open. The place was elegantly decorated in all the finest things I've ever seen in my life. The hardwood floors were so shiny and the rooms just held this feeling of richness and purity.

"You can wait in the living room. Have a seat and make yourself comfortable. My mom will be out in a minute. By the way, I'm Jasmine." With that she headed off into the kitchen, where I could hear another distinct voice with a british accent. What is he doing here? I sat down and admired the lush feeling of the soft couch. Two yawns and a sneeze later, a elegantly dressed woman of probably early 40s appeared in the hallway that lead into the living room. She greatly resembeled Jasmine in many ways.

"So you're Chloe. My name is Valentina. I'm Jasmine's mother and Alek's aunt." Her eyes were almost as black as night, but her gaze was soft. "Please have a seat. I would like to ask you a few questions and if I over step any boundaries, I apologize." She gently smile at me.

"What did you want to know?" I cautiously asked.

"You were born in Ukraine right?" How could she possibly know this!?

"Yes. I was." I was getting really freaked out on the inside, but on the outside i'm completely calm.

"Have you noticed any changes in yourself? Like exceedingly good hearing and better vision that just improved over night?"

"Yes, b-but how can you know that?" I'm really getting afraid right now at the moment.

"There's no need to be afraid. I know what you are. You're just like the rest of us. You're part of an ancient and sacred race called the Mai. You're not completely human, not completely god, the offspring of Basett. You will learn more about yourself than you have in the last 16 years of your life." I couldn't handle this anymore.

"Whoa! I need a minute to settle all of this in my head. Can I step outside for some air?" I looked around for a balcony entrance.

"Of course you can. Its through those double doors behind the red curtain to the left of the dining table." Thats all I needed to hear. I headed straight for the doors and flung them open and gently shut them behind me.

What the heck is happening to me? One second i'm an average teenage and now i'm a Mai?! How can I ever explain this to my mom? To Amy or Paul? Could my life get any worse?

A/N SO here it is! My latest chapter. I hope you all enjoyed it! Review and leave your thoughts in the reviews also. So how was it? Terrible? Amazing? God awful? Or so super amazing that you want me to continue? Let me know and i'll see you all later. Love you all! Thanks for reading!
