Part 4
The last bell of the day rang and the halls were filled with teenagers and teachers ready for the
weekend. Erin was about to exit for the Junior parking lot when she felt someone touch her
shoulder, she turned around and to her surprise stood Jason.
"Hi." was the only thing that could find it's way out of her mouth. He didn't say anything in
return but gave her a warm and actually sincere smile, needless to say she was stunned. He
looked like he was about to do something important when something stopped him.
"Erin hi!" a voice called out down the hall. Erin looked around Jason to see Dave, a little
frantic, and the rest at the lunch table coming her way. Arielle was clung to his side, not going
to let him get away, Erin thought to herself but saw Jason smile in return. Must be thinking the
same thing, she thought, then she noticed the silver locket around his neck, Looks like mine as
she put her hand around her gold locket.
"Guys this is Jason." Dave introduced, "He and I have two classes together." Dave seemed to
want to be there more than anyone else, like he was about to burst from something but no one
could tell.
"Nice to meet you." he nodded at each and seemed to give Stephen a bit more considering time
than the rest. "I should be going now. Goodbye." He pushed open the door and turned giving
one last noticeable smile to Erin, which made her blush, and almost vanished behind the walls
and columns. Then stood the five in almost the same position they were in last night, plus one.
Dave seemed to want to reach out to Erin and pull her into the group but she resisted and they
stood in a moment of uncomfortable silence. She looked at them catching them in the eye and
quickly breaking the lock. Dave seemed comfortable in the look but Stephen seemed surprised
and then like he started searching for something but it became uncomfortable and she broke it
realizing it wasn't common to stare into someone's eyes who doesn't know who you are. But the
feeling she got from his eyes was like she had seen it before, but it felt old and forgotten.
"Erin can I call you?" Dave asked unexpectedly breaking the silence, "I need to talk to you
about something." he added easing the shock of the question.
"Sure." she said shrugging it off, and seeing the look given from Arielle she said "See ya later."
and left.
"Will you quit doing that!" Dave demanded looking at Arielle.
"What?" she tried to play innocent.
"You know perfectly well what he's talking about Arielle." Angel began, picking up where they
left off at lunch.
"Yeah, every time you see Erin you give her an evil look." Stephen joined in the routine.
"Now why would I do that?"
"Do you really want me to say?" Angel asked in all seriousness.
"All right. All right. I'll try to control myself."
"Thank you." Dave said to her, "But I just don't know why you don't like Erin." He walked off
leaving the rest of them in shock as he always did when he asked that question. When they got
to the parking lot they saw Jason driving of in a black on black convertible Mustang, top down.
Stephen looked down the parking lot to see Erin, standing in shock, beside her yellow Explorer,
with a piece of black paper in her hand, watching Jason drive away. When she saw him looking
she got in and drove pass them as soon as they had reached Stephen's' lightning clad Harley and
Angels deep blue Jeep. Stephen watched as she speeded out of the lot and down the street. The
feeling of a memory of her eyes still stayed with him, What's she hiding, but he dismissed that
thought before his mind filled with the thought of wanting to know, be a part of her life, and
protect her.
When Erin got home she went straight to her room and locked the door, closed all the shades and
relied on the light left. She walked over to the bag she had thrown on the bed and took out the
note that was just recently shoved inside, she walked over to her desk and sat sown and opened it
again. There it was in silver ink written on the black sheet of paper:
Solar,
I've missed you. Your just as beautiful as I remember. Meet me at club Inferno at Midnight
tonight. I have something I want to tell you.
Love,
Night
"What do you know of this?" She demanded as she threw the locket on the bed. It opened by
itself releasing a golden light before it spoke.
"What are you talking about?" the Voice asked gently.
"Who's Night, and why does he want to see me?" tears ran down her face. Memories of pain
and loss filled her mind but again nothing made sense.
"I was wondering when he was going to show up." the Voice answered disappointed.
"Do you want me to ask the question again!?" Erin demanded, pain, anger, and fear in her own
voice.
"Night is... well it's hard to explain."
"Try!"
"A long time ago Night and Solar led the solders together, but they were also lovers." Erin
almost fell off the chair.
"Go on." she regained her balance.
"But it ended terribly, Solar's guardians had arranged for her to be marred to Lightning." this
time she did fall off the chair. "Solar knew her responsibility's clearly and told Night that she
could never be with him again. He became crazed and he tried to kill Lightning only to be
stopped by Solar standing in his way. She broke his heart saying that she didn't love him and
never wanted to see him again, that's when she took off the golden locket he made for her and
threw it at his feet, she ran to her room crying at her own lies. Night picked up the locket and
threw it through her window into her room and he walked away never to be seen again until the
Great Battle."
Erin sat huddled on the floor beside her bed thinking of the story that she had just heard. "This
locket?"
"Yes."
"Did he make a silver one just like it for himself?"
"That's where the model for the gold one came from. He said as long as she wore it their love
could never die. Wait, have you seen him?" Fear and excitement entered the tone of the Voice.
"Today, he's a new student at school, he left the note on my car for me to meet him tonight."
"You aren't going to go are you?" The Voice seemed scared at the mere thought of it.
"Why?" Erin wondered what could actually cause fear, and she sensed longing from the Voice.
"He may think you still love him." It... she was lying, but why? Erin had to know.
"What happened at the Great Battle?"
The last bell of the day rang and the halls were filled with teenagers and teachers ready for the
