Chapter 4: I still exist
I backed up. "I thought you were gone. I thought your dead or barely alive." "Oh honey, it's not that easy to get rid of me. I may not have my wings but I still exist." Dabria stood in front of me baring a knife in her hand. Where was Patch when I needed him? Dabria seemed to sense my thoughts, "You can't possibly think he's always going to be by your side trying to protect you? Patch has other stuff to do. Maybe once he realizes how needy you scummy humans are he'll come back to me. Maybe I won't even need to kill you. Maybe Patch will crush your heart and I can watch you suffer like I did, but where's the fun in that? I need some action. I've been so bored lately." She teased poking her finger lightly on the tip of the knife blade. Patch would never break up with me… would he? I pushed the thought from my head. I needed to focus on what was in front of me, another death that this time won't be denied. This time, there was no saving me from death. I stood in a defensive stance. Dabria lunged at me, and I ducked down crawling underneath her. I sprang up on the other side facing the wall. She was out of my view. I heard a cackle then I received a sharp pain. I looked down at my stomach and the tip of a knife shown. It was over, everything. My life was over, my relationship with Patch was over, and my days with Vee were over. I replayed Patches words in my head, "Scared Angel?" This time I really was scared, scared because I didn't know what happened next, scared because I didn't know if I would see Patch again. My eyes began to grow foggy and I fell to the floor. I heard sirens, police sirens maybe? I didn't know.
"Huh!" I awoke with a jolt. At my side my alarm clock sounded off. I reached over and hit it, then jumped out of bed. I got ready for school and the vision never left my mind. Why would I dream something like that? Would Dabria really comeback to kill me? Was it worth her trouble? I didn't know. When I got to school I walked into Chem. I took a seat next to Vee who would be spending most of her day in summer school. "So, tell me all the details of what happened last night. Did you have fun?" she winked. "I found patch and he played the game, we went to my house and that's it." "You went to your house! If I brought a guy like Patch home my mom would have a foot dug into my butt. What did you guys do?" Vee asked. "My mom wasn't home." I began "Even better." Vee interrupted, "He searched it make sure the house was fine then we sat and watched a movie. We're going back out tonight to dinner." I said. Before Vee could talk the Chemistry teacher walked in. Class began and I listened as always. Eventually, the bell rang and class let out. I got home at exactly 10:15 as I suspected. I had nothing to do until 4. Vee was still in school, and mom was at the office probably filing papers, and Patch I would see later. Maybe I could go see Elliot at the hospital. I almost laughed at myself, after all he did why would I go visit him. I shoved the thought away. I decided to go to the library. I drove and pulled up in a spot. The library was empty, vacant. Then again, it was summer. Why would anyone want to come here in summer during the day? I walked through the doors that had now collected dust. I walked past the front desk to go get into the elevator. The elevator took me up to the computer lab which was also vacant. I turned on a computer and waited for it to load. I had an eZine due on my editors desk tonight and I had just seen a movie a couple of days ago that I could write about. I didn't immediately start the paper. First, I had looked at some other articles that had been published. All I found was fashion articles. The last movie article was written last week. I needed to start. I typed up my review, printed it and left. By the time I got home it was 3 o'clock. I decided to take another shower. After my shower I grabbed a blue tank top, shorts, and some jewelry. I blow dried my hair and decided to throw it up in a ponytail and my bangs fell to the right side of my face. I put a pair of blue teardrop earrings in, and a necklace with a black glass flower on it. I decided I was ready and perfectly dressed at around 3:50. Then, the doorbell rang. I ran to get it. "You're early." I told Patch. "I wanted to come early, after all I haven't seen you all day. Looking nice Angel." He winked. I grinned and stepped out the door. Earlier I told mom I would be going out with Patch so everything was fine. She's away on business for work until Sunday so I had to call her at her hotel and let her know, even though she probably was at a meeting. I was surprised to see his black Jeep Commander in the driveway. "You left the motorcycle at home. This is a surprise." "I figured you wouldn't want you hair all messed up. By the looks of it I made a good choice." He grinned and so did I. Even though it was a plain old pony tail it looked fancy. My auburn curly hair pulled back in the pony tail made it looked like I had curled the hair coming out of my hair tie, and the bangs hanging down the side of my face was a good touch too. He seems to always be right. I slid into the passenger's seat. He pulled out of the driveway of the farmhouse and we took off. "Are we going to Bo's or Borderline first?" I asked curiously. "I think dinner first then Bo's. I'm really hungry." He said. I nodded with agreement.
