Chapter 4
New Beginnings (Part 2)
Jess
I walked- wait scartch that, I rolled out of the hospital in my chair. Stupid nurses think just because some spider bit my foot, put me in a cast, and I "almost" die, they think I need a freaking wheelchair.
"Dad, do I honestly need a wheel chair? I mean I could use crutches." I said while he helped me in the PT Cruiser.
"Jess, you were in a coma for 14 hours." He obviously doesn`t know about my 'wake up' right before Arrow left...Speaking of ...him... I wonder where he is (AN: HAAHAHAHA HE IS IN FORKS BUDDY!) becuase I havn`t seen him in three after he walked out of the room, I fell back in a coma.
"Yeah, but dad-":
"No 'buts' just do it."
..."Fine." I said as we drove off.
"Hey, wheres Arrow?" Mom asked.
"...Gone."
"GOOD RIDDENCE!" Dad boomed. I frowned and turned my head out the window, which looked like it was crying, from all the rain we had.
"Yes I will see you, through the smoking flames." My phone rang. Text tone.
Hey have you seen where Arrow went?
It was from Arris. How did he get my number?...Vampire intellect. DUH.
Nope, but I really want people to tell me why he`s gone. Have you asked Lucious?
It was only only seconds before the next one.
Meet me at the Safren`s home in 6 hours.
Well crap.
Can`t, I`m in a wheelchair. :(
Three seconds total.
Trust me, in 6 hours everyone will be asleep, and I`l come and get you.
Sounds good to me, I thought.
Okay, good. Meet you in 6 hours. Wait what time is it?
Longer reply wait.
2 A.M.
I looked at the dashboard...It was 8 p.m...hmm. Okay.
Kay, meet you there.
I looked around the car to see what everyone was doing. It was still light outside, so I could see their faces. Mom was smiling like a ditz, while dad was frowning...Kendra... Let me tell you Kendra was listening to her iPod, dancing. I listened closer and it was "Prom Queen" by Lil Wayne. Ugh, I hate him.
I sat back in my seat and realized something important.
There were five people in this Cruiser.
Bently was sitting straight behind me. I turned and looked at him. He smiled and asked, "Are you okay?" ... Wait, a werewolf being nice? Wow.
"Uh, yeah, just a little sore in the head." I had a weird sensation in my head it felt more like trying to remember something but you can`t.
And that exactly what was happening.
"So your not mad at me?" He asked.
"No, why would I be mad at you. You never did anything to me."
"Wait, do you know what happened last fall?" Last fall?
"No, I-I can`t remember." Bently smiled warmly.
"Oh, then I`ll tell you all about it later. It`s kinda too, you know myth-y for your family." He whispered that last part.
"Okay. Thanks, Bently." I said.
"Hey, now don`t think too much, your head just got fixed. So, until your better, I`m gonna` be your body guard type thing." Our smiles got bigger in unison.
"That`d be great." I said. He stuck out his hand...Then another head sensation hit me, but I grabbed his hand anyway. We shook it gently.
Once everyone got out first, Bently helped me get out by picking me up and putting me in my wheelchair.
"Thanks," I said.
"Yeah, well I thought you would be happy the day before your birthday."
"Yeah, well, until 20 minutes ago, I was anything but happy."
"What was 20 minutes ago?" He asked. I motioned him to get closer.
"It`s when you agreed to be my body guard...Type thing."
"Well, thats my happiest time too."
"I thought it might be." I said. We went to the front porch...I couldn`t get up the steps.
"Umm...Bently..?"
"Hmm?" He said about to open the door.
"...I need help." I said with a pouty face.
"Two ways, Jess. Two ways."
I stuck my tounge out at him. He flicked it and picked me up while I rubbed my tounge.
"Swat qas fat door?" I said, but since I was holding my tounge, my 'What was that for' turned out wronng.
"Oh you know, Mexian kung-fu."
We burst out laughing. This head sensation was light... Seems like everything I do with Bently, my head gets all tingly...Like, its my high. Wait, no, he`s my high.
I was carried to the couch and laid down gently.
Everyone else had already retired upstairs. That just left me and Bently and Squechee, my tabbie cat.
"So, what do you want to know?" I just realized when he said that, that I could only remember the last time I saw Arrow, in his room. I mean, I remember him and all, but only the last time I saw him. Not even what he said.
"What happened, between last fall, until now. And before it...and everything."
" Do you not remember?" He looked worried.
"The last thing I remember is me and Arrow in his room, talking about...something. I don`t remember!"
"Oh...do you want me to refresh your memory?"
"Yes, please, I`m begging."
"Okay, well how about I start from the beginning?" I nodded once.
"Okay, welll, me and you used to be best friends, still are infact. It`s just that once you and Arrow started talking, he used his uhh...vampire charm thing, and made you fall in love with him. You know I`m a werewolf right?" I nodded."Well, vampires and werewolves are enimes. And he was using you to get the sacred text for my kind. He got inside your head. He made you think that everyone besides vampires were bad, mean...evil. One day, while you and him were stealing the text, I tried to get you back, and you were starting to come back to my side, but Arrow thretened you and your family, so I stepped in and asked him to stop what he was doing and then you got mad at me. Then we stopped talking for a while, until now. But the spider on the foot and coma, wasn`t an accident." He said keeping his eyes on me the whole time.
Oh my gosh. Is this how Arrows been treating me? Using me?
"I`m so sorry. I didn`t know, I swear!"
"Listen to me Jess, don`t ever let Arrow back in your life, do you understand me?" I nodded.
"Yeah, trust me, that jerk wouldn`t even think about it unless he wants his arm snapped by my werewolf:)"
"Your werewolf?" He asked. Did I really just say that?
"Uh, you know my body guard thing." I said smiling. His face got closer to mine, almost touching. He kissed me on the cheek and said, " Surrre."
"Uhh, its almost late...and I have to meet with the Safren`s at 2!"
"Not without me."
"I`m not going."
"Yes you are. Now come on, you look like a mess."
"Hey!" I said hitting his stomache. Head. High. Tinglyness. BIG.
"I`m just kidding...you look perfect." He said smiling.
"Yeah, well, I try." Didn`t I say that before? DEJA VU!
" Do you want to go there?"
"Not after what you just told me." I got my phone out and texted Arris
Don`t come for me, I don`t want any part of your kind...ANYMORE.
I turned it off just incase he texted back.
"Hey Jess, I wanna show you something." He held out his hand and I gladly took it. But apprently I was shoved straight in the air, him holding me...Huh? Oh yeah, stupid cast...But I was awfully thankful for it.
" Jess, I want to show you my hiding place. You know to get away from all the vampires. My pack goes their too...I want you to meet them...Ifi ts okay with you of course!" He said.
"Sure I`d love to meet your pack."
And we were soon out the door into an old turck across the street...
"Is this yours?" I asked him
"Yep. Just got it a month ago."
"Wait a second. Your only 15."
"Accualy no, I`m 16."
"Oh, so...you failed a grade?"
"Yep."
"Ah.
"So, whats it like being in a cast?"
"My entire foot is claustrophobic."
"That stinks."
"Yeah, I know. Espicially it being my birthday in a day."
"Yeah, you know what I`m taking you out tomorrow. Just as friends...If you want to."
"Yeah, that`d be great!" I said. We arrived at a little place behind some park...My head was on fire at this point.
I`ve been here before...
"Ivy...Christmas lights.."
"Yeah...crazy but...to death..." (AN: THIS PART WAS NOT IN CHAPTER 11:CHRISTMAS LIGHTS, FROM BEST FRIEND TO A 7TH GRADE VAMPIRE BUT I NEEDED IT IN HERE.)
I shook my head vigorously.
I understood the first voice was me...but the second was un recongizeable.
I was carried out onto an open feild. They`re were 11 other guys here.
"Oh heeeeyyyyy, Bently!...Whats she doing here?" Some guy I see in my school whos a senior asked...more like spat.
"Trust me, she doesn`t know what the Safren`s did to her, she lost her memory of a lot of things about what happened. I already told her so you don`t need to explain it again."
"Oooh, okay...Well, it`s nice to meet you Jess!"
"Thanks...Uhh, Ben?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you put me down.?"
"Oh, yeah sure."
He sat me on the ground and sat next to me.
Then he started naming the pack. The one who spoke to me first was Arron, the short skinny tan one was named Ant. The one who made everyone laugh at a fighting praying mantis is Drew. The one with shaggy off of scooby doo hair was named...Shaggy haha. they`re were ones I couldn`t remember, they looked the same. Probably becuase they were triplets...Then they`res Austin. He is a big burley man. I didn`t talk to him much. The next one he pointed at was Andrew. He looked like he was scared of something. Then they`res the really tall model-like one. I forgot his name, but he had a tiny mohawk. So tiny you didn`t even know it was a mohawk. I nicknamed him that. Mohawk. The last one made my head tingle. Jacob. He was tan, masculine, and had black hair, tall. etc. etc. He seemed like a good friend.
While Bently was saying their names,The other members of the pack started making a fire. Nothing big, just a little campfire.
"Whats all this about?" I asked.
"To start over."
"Start over what?"
"Everything that happened between us." I looked at him. Then at the ground
"I guess what you mean is it`s time for new beginnings?"
"Yeah," He said and we started chuckleing. I took his hand. This is the best beginning ever. :)
(AN: aww, don`t you just like how Bently is trying to get Jess by making lies about Arrow? Not me. But its my story and I like it. Review and Add me to your Alert place thing.
Im out pce.
