Chapter 4= Torturing….I could Do it Too….

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed with tear filled eyes as I fell off of bed. I looked around searching for the spirit; the door was closed, sunlight shined through the window and the mirror showed the reflection of a very satisfied Rebecca, she had this smug look on her face and I could tell that she felt like she had accomplished something.

I turned away from my crazy reflection and looked at the alarm clock on my bed side table that said 7: 08 a.m. I sighed and went back into bed, trying to relax myself before I had to get ready for an exciting day of school.

I can't believe Rebecca did such a thing; tricking me into thinking that the door was opened and the spirit got in, on second thought I do believe that she did something like that after all she is evil, mean and loves to torture me. That is her soul's purpose in this world; torturing me.

I got out of bed and walked over to my wardrobe and pulled out a long black silky skirt, a long sleeved black and white cotton cardigan and a black tank top. I brushed my knotted hair and put it into a bun, because I had so much hair the bun was big. I put on my black converse but my skirt was so long that no one could see them anyway.

I had dark circles under my eyes as usual but this time it wasn't as bad as when I was younger. My lips were dried and resembled a prune so I put some lip balm on it to try and help it. Highly doubt it would work.

I grabbed my black and white back pack, I made sure that all the important books were in it and threw it onto my back. I walked out of my room and closed my door. The corridor looked like it always did just this time it was brighter thanks to the sunlight.

I walked down the creaky hallway and carefully walked down the steps. I made it the first floor in two minutes and walked into the kitchen were Elizabell was found sleeping in a chair, again she looked dead; I guess the body really is dead. I got kind of sad while looking at the poor body of a dead Elizabell that lost her mother and was kept in the dark for her entire life.

I shrugged off my feelings and made a cup of coffee and sat on the chair next to a very dead Elizabell. I sipped it and tried not to think about the corpse next to me. In the end of 2 minutes I couldn't finish the cup of hot liquid so I just threw it down the sink. I walked out of the haunted house and down the mud road. It took me exactly 10 minutes to reach the school.

It was now 7:55 a.m. and I was in class. I sat in the back, in the corner of the classroom where a window was situated, so I could have a nice view of outside while the teacher talked bull shit. My head was on the table while I tried to block out all the noise made by students. No matter how much I tried I still heard the hushed whispers, gossiping, laughing and giggles from everyone around me, it was so damn annoying. I felt eyes on me but it honestly didn't bother me.

All sound stopped and all that could be heard were soft footsteps and the resting of books on a table.

"Ms Jones! To the principal's office now" said a deep voice of a man. I lifted my head to look him in the eye. I expected this and it didn't bother me to know that I'm a terrible teen. I got out of my seat, picked up my bag with all eyes on me. I noticed that the majority of my class were Native Americans except for a few Africans and three white girls. I walked pass tables and out the classroom door.

I walked down the school corridor until I reached a door that said Principal's office, at the sides of the door had benches which were full of the same group of boys from Monday's detention.

"Mr Markson is currently dealing with someone you should take a seat" one of the boys, which looked younger than the rest, told me with a sweet smile. Damn this kid was adorable. I smiled a small smile at him and sat in between him and a totally buff dude that looked like he would explode any second now. The kid's smile only got bigger when I sat next to him. I looked at buff dude sceptically. The kid must have noticed my discomfort.

"Don't worry he won't bite, he just looks that way" he explained to me sweetly "Would you like to switch seats?" he asked concerned, this made me smile, showing my pearly white teeth.

"No thanks I'm fine, plus I could take him" I said jokingly. The kid laughed while I smiled the most I ever had in my entire life since my mother's death. He stopped laughing after a while.

"So Arianna right?" he asked unsure.

"Yup, Arianna Jones" I said while sticking my hand out to him. He took it in his humongous hands.

"Seth Clearwater, it's nice to meet you" I said sincerely, does this kid ever stop smiling? I asked myself.

"So what's a nice person like you doing here, on her way to see the principal?" he asked curiously.

"I could ask you the same thing, and I don't know why but I have an idea. I mean when you throw a table at a teacher and then run off and skip school the next day you kind end up at the principal's office." I explained to him "Plus you were there when I exploded weren't you?" I asked him. I was sure that I had seen him at detention that day.

"Uhh…yeah I was" he answered nervously.

"We all were" said an unfamiliar voice, I turned to look at him; he looked pretty much like everyone else here. No one said anything else after that. In the next minute someone walked out of the door and the principal appeared, he looked directly at me.

"Ms Jones this way and you guys will be next" he said sternly while pointing at the men-boys.

I got up from my seat and followed the man through the door.

"Take a seat" He told me while pointing to the wooden chair, so I did as I was told.

"Ms Jones or is it Franklin now?" he asked while crossing his legs under the table.

"Ms Jones" I answered without thinking, maybe I am a Franklin now after all I already know the family secrets so why not? "Well Ms Franklin is fine as well" I added

"Okay, now I think you know why you are here" he said to me.

"Yes I do sir so what's my punishment?" I asked him, I prayed that I will be expelled or suspended that would be great.

"Nothing" he answered with no emotion. I think my mouth must have fallen open, nothing! No, no, no, I want to be expelled.

"What?" I asked dumbfounded.

"Nothing" he repeated himself again. "All I want to know is why you got upset when Ms Daisy used your first name" he continued on. I knew he was up to something.

"I just hate my name and the father who gave it to me" I answered. I couldn't believe that my mom had just let my father name me after his stupid mother and then he just left and never came back. I hate the bastard.

"Okay and has it ever occurred to you that you have anger problems?" he asked as if he knew that I had anger issues.

"No I do not have anger problems sir, I am perfectly fine as long as no one calls me Rebecca" I said my name with disgust.

"Alright and I must commend you on the paper you did on Monday in detention, you got 97%" he said to me with a sincere smile. "You may go now and I will explain to your teacher's about the situation and to never call you by your first name, is that alright?"

"Yes, much appreciated" I said while getting up from my seat and letting myself out of the room.

I closed the door behind me and in front of me were the group of men-boys, "Well good luck, hope you guys get a second chance like me" I said to them.

Seth waved and I waved to him, awww he is so sweet.

Time Lapse

School is finally over and to my surprise I didn't end up in detention. This has got to be one of my personal records. I walked off of the school compound and went into the dark forest. It was a beautiful place I must admit. It had tall lush green trees, damp soil, cool air, and lots of living creatures. I always felt good in the woods just this place was a little too damp for my liking and too dark as well, I needed light, heat, sun but I could do with this.

I walked pass lots of trees; I was looking for herbs etc. for the spell and potion. I found quite a few after digging at the base of trees and moving rocks. By the time I had all of my ingredients my hands were muddy, my nails black from soil and dirt and my hair had fallen out of my bun, cascading down my back.

My bag was filled with the materials for the spell and it was 5:45 p.m. and I should get out of the woods and in the house soon, but the problem was that I didn't know where the hell I was but no worries I would find a way out.

I walked aimlessly until 6:30 p.m. popped up on my phone, damn and the sun is setting quicker today, I don't think I can make it back in time but I must try. I heard the sound of water splashing to my right so I went to investigate and to my luck it was a road, and actually paved road. I wondered how far away from La Push did I go.

I walked onto the road and stayed to the side just in case some psychotic drunk person came speedy down the smoothly paved road. I could go either left or right but I didn't have a clue as to where either lead. So I just went with my instincts and took a right.

I walked down the road for about 2 minutes before rain began to beat down on my back; drenching me in water, soaking my hair, clothes and bag which I luckily had put all my books in a big plastic Ziploc bag.

I couldn't see in front of me clearly because of the hard down pour of rain, all that my eyes could make out was the blurry green to my left and right, which I had guessed to be trees, like what else could it be.

The rain eventually subsided when I was making it into what seemed to be a town. It looked better off than La Push's town as far as I could tell and it had way more stores too. I walked over to the nearest bench that was under a street light. The sun had long gone and set and I was stuck outside the only place I could call home.

My body was frozen to my bones and I felt like and icicle. My hair soaking wet, splattered all about my face. The reflection in the puddle at my feet showed a drowned girl with blue lips, pale skin and shivering like a leaf in the wind. Oh I did not feel well, at all. My hands wrapped protectively around my body with my knees drawn to my chest as I shivered my ass off on the bench all alone in the dark scary looking town of what I presumed to be Forks after sundown.

I heard laughter coming from the corner of a street a few blocks away from me that is when I felt it. The presence of a witch actually it was more than one about 5 or so. It wasn't powerful but it wouldn't go unnoticed. They looked to be teens from what I could see and they looked high or drunk or something else but not normal and in their right minds.

Then out form one of the buildings near the group of young drunk witches was the sick, cold feeling of dead. I turned to see a group of super good looking teen agers. They were on the same block as the witches.

The witches didn't seem to notice the threat unlike me. They walked over to the group of possible hungry vampires. A brunet witch tried to flirt but the blond vampire pushed her off and grabbed what looked like a human mate and pulled her along.

The young witch had none of this as she continued to pursue the god like vampire as he continued to ignore her. I watched from a far as I saw both groups near my form. They were just a block away now and I could clearly see each person.

I was right; there were five witches and five vampires with one timid human being. The two groups turned to face each other both rather angry. I knew if a fight took place right now even though there were even numbers the witches were drunk and most definitely would lose their lives before anyone knew it ever happened right outside their houses and work places in the streets.

I got off of the wooden bench slowly and quietly but I forgot about the puddle and it splashed when I stepped in it. I looked at my feet in shock, damn it. I looked up to see both groups looking directly at my figure under the street lamp post that lighted the area around me. Shit they saw me. What do I do? I don't want a fight? I never wanted to be here! I screamed in my head, and worse of all La Push is past them. So if I want to go home and not have to walk all the way to Seattle; the only other option of civilisation, I better get to passing them peacefully.

They were all still frozen until "Hey are you okay?" asked a concerned blond witch. She seemed to be the only one that looked sort of sober.

"Yeah, mind if I pass you guys before you set the town a fire?" I asked in all seriousness. They looked at me kind of shocked. The witches probably didn't figure out that I was just like them but I had a feeling that quite a few of the vamps had I good idea.

"Uhhh, sure" I heard the blond reply slightly confused. With that I quickly grabbed my back pack and threw the soaking wet thing onto my back; it stung my back slightly but nothing that could distract me from the possible enemies before me. I took long quick strides towards the two groups; my head hung low with my hair blocking my face from my onlookers. Hopefully we would never cross paths again.

As I was making pass them with my back towards them I felt a tight hand grip on my arm. I harshly pushed my pursuer off. It was a she, the same she that was going after the blond vampire. She looked me up and down as I glared at her never letting my guard down. She was judging me I could tell and she was guessing my strength and most likely thinking that I was weak and a useless piece of waste; I honestly wouldn't have blamed her I mean look at me, I must look like a drowned black cat or something.

"You're a witch" she almost laughed out. I could tell she was totally drunk along with everyone else except the blond girl that seemed to be the youngest.

"Well look who's talking, your all way worse than me, picking fights with vamps that you can't possibly win" I spat at her. "Look at your selves, you're all wasted" I said snidely. All this time the blond which whom seemed to be the smartest stayed away from me, as well did the vampires.

"Oh please don't fool yourself little girl" she said wickedly. She looked at what I presumed was her circle and I felt her begin to release their power but it wasn't strong it was more like a pinch on the nose, that's how weak they were. The bad side in me was awakening just like it always did when Rebecca felt a witch's power. I guess it wouldn't hurt to teach her a lesson by the time.

I let Rebecca lend me her sick evil black magic. Black magic was only used by bad witches or in some cases by good witches to inflict severe wounds. It was easy to use black magic since it was fuelled by hate, rage, anger, envy, sadness, loneliness etc. as for white magic which was very powerful even more powerful than black magic but it was difficult to use because it required large amounts of love, kindness, peace, unity, joy etc. I wasn't feeling white magic so I went with black.

I focused on stopping her air flow within her body; basically stifling her. The brunet witch grabbed for her throat as all of her power vanished and she fell to the ground gasping at nothing.

"Please stop your killing her!" screamed the young blond witch as the all the other witches just had horrified expressions on their faces. They kept looking between me and the witch on the floor with scared faces.

"Please!" the blond continued to scream as I tortured the witch. Rebecca was enjoying this and I slowly losing myself to her on the inside. The vampires stood motionless and a few had sad expressions on their gorgeous faces, now that was a shock, after all they are supposed to be heartless blood sucking dead creatures.

I felt Rebecca pushing through my walls, coming to the surface. I shoved her back and dropped my focus; letting the witch finally breathe. She gasped on the floor with her face slightly contorted. The blond stood close to me now, only an arm's length away from my body. Some witches had gone to look at their sister that was gasping like a fish out of water.

"You shouldn't have tried anything because trust me I'm no little one" I told them. I looked at the vampire directly; they were guarded and seemed to be surrounding the human protectively.

"Don't worry I wasn't looking for any trouble unless you want some" I told them with a smirk, Rebecca was still present in me making me slightly mischievous.

"None is necessary thank you madam" replied the blond vamp that was being tracked by the witch.

"Very well then" was my reply as I turned to walk away. I turned back around to look directly in the innocent eyes of the blond witch. "You shouldn't stick around with them, they'll get you nowhere good" I gave her a piece of my advice then walked off on my way to La Push or I should say out skirts of Forks because the house wasn't exactly in La Push but closer to it than Forks.
