A/n: Hi, okay, I'm trying to get this chapter up to three thousand words. It's going to take a while but it's going to be a good chapter. I am currently in my sister's car :). but I brought my laptop because I'm spending the night at my dad's. If I do get it done tonight I will not be able to post it because he doesn't have internet. Okay, on with the story!
disclaimer: i don't own the companions quartet
They knew we had missed half of school, and if that wasn't enough, they would do anything to get us in trouble. 'I hope the die,' I thought. ' Naw, just kidding, i hope you get moving truck. And I hope they back up and try again.'
Now I know that's mean, but they deserved it- if not worse. You never know, they could fall out of a roller coaster, or get shot by a gang. Maybe even one of you will get murdered by Austin. I already gave him permission.
But that would take to long, and too much evidence to clean up. Plus it's hard to be sad about them getting killed.
I looked at Jenna's face, a look of disbelief showed in her features. Jenna's mouth formed into an oval shape, her eyes clearly saying, 'oh no you didn't'.
Austin looked outraged, his face showing his emotion. His eyes were narrowed at the door where Emily had disappeared, his mouth looked as ready as it will ever get to ripping her throat out and making cocktails out of her blood.
I didn't know what my face looked like, but it made Austin flinch when he looked at me. We all heard Vyctoriya scream bloody murder. We all immediately ran to her room. Austin rammed his shoulder into the door and it broke down.
Our eyes scanned the room, and we found the blood drained body of Vyctoriya Carpenter laying limply on the ground, and a ink black cloak rapped around her.
The police showed up fifteen minutes later. And I was getting annoyed at how Vycoriya's stepmother, Jamie, was fake crying over her husbands shoulder.
Jamie hated Vyctoriya, Vyctoriya came here to get a life away from her mother than Jamie started using her as a slave.
A few minutes later my mom came bursting in through the door. She went straight over to Emily to comfort her.
Austin stilled looked pissed, but I guess he didn't really care for being all mopey. Unlike Jamie, who was still crying.
Out of the corner of my eyes I saw Vycoriya's little brothers, Nik and Luke, high-five each other.
"Why is my family so screwed up?" I murmured to Jenna.
"It's still better than mine, I man, look at Austin." I cracked a smile at that and Emily shot a pain filled glare in my direction.
"Abby, go and pack. We'll be out here." My mom said. My mom wasn't the one for crying, but I saw a couple of tears slide down her cheek as I climbed up the stairs.
I walked into my room with Jenna and Austin and quietly shut the door. The first thing I did was grab all of the books of my bookshelf. I quickly stuffed them in a suit case. But one caught my eyes.
It was a book a haven't read in years but I kept something in there and I was dying to see it again; It was a Dragon knife.
The blade was a black color with a red hilt. It had a dragon etched in silver on the blade. It had originally come in a set. But my mother didn't trust me with it. That knife had tried to kill me once. But yet again we did have a poltergeist problem in that house.
Austin was busy packing my clothes in another suitcase. I didn't exactly like that, but Oh well.
I opened up the book that my mom had hollowed out years ago. I peeked at it and saw something that concerned me. It was gone.
"Cassandra!" My mother called from downstairs. "The police want to talk to you!"
Oh hell.
I silently walked down the stairs. I quietly walked into the kitchen and saw the police holding a black and red knife.
My dragon knife.
only half of the blade was covered in blood. Vycoriya's blood
"Yes officer." I said quietly.
"We were wondering why your dragon knife was in Vycoriya's room?" The officer explained. I think he thought it would make me feel better.
"I have no idea," I said quickly. "It's usually in a hollowed out copy of The Collector."
"Where were you when Vycoriya was killed?"
"I was in the kitchen with Jenna and Austin."
"Hmm." Was all he said. Even my own mother was looking at me sadly. "What!" I exclaimed. "I didn't kill her! I haven't opened that book until I A couple of minutes ago! And even then it was empty!"
"Dear, he didn't mean to insult you-"
"But he was trying to imply that he thinks I killed her," I interrupted. "I may have not liked her but I wouldn't become a murderer. I don't have mental issues."
"I didn't say that! I know your innocent but that's weird how someone wearing a cloak just happened to sneak into the house unnoticed, get up to your room. Now the book the knife was in, get back downstairs, kill Tori, than get out before you were in the room."
"How the hell am I supposed to kill someone when I'm in a different room?" I snapped.
"That's the question..." She murmured.
"Go to hell." I said, only it came out a little louder than I wanted it to.
The police looked at me like I was crazy so I ran back up the stairs. I entered the room and Jenna looked at me expectantly.
"They think I killed her." I mumbled.
"Actually despite that bad news, we have good news," She said happily. "Were moving in next door to your grandmothers house!"
"Wow." Was all I could say. I would have friends there. Not new friends. My old ones. They will always be my friends now. I was happy as hell until we were done packing and my mom came upstairs.
She looked at me and her sad expression faded. She had something in her hand; it was a box.
She set it on my bed before disappearing down the stairs. I looked at it, it had writing on the front that looked like it was Ancient Greek. It had symbols of the Greek Gods on it. I noticed it also had a ruby the shape of a eye on the top.
I opened it carefully. It had four knives in it.
One of them was the dragon's knifes that had been used to kill Vycoriya, then there was four other names above each of them.
Dragon, ο Θεός, Ανγκέλ, επίδειξη.
Dragon, God, Angel, Demon.
The god knife had a Golden blade, which I guessed was made of celestial bronze. With a Caduceus etched in silver on the blade. The hilt had a white hilt. It also had the symbol of Nemesis on the hilt.
The angel knife had a completely white blade. The hilt was a pale blue. And a gem in the shape of a halo shined brightly on the hilt.
The demon knife was the one the popped out at me. The blade was somehow see-through, and the hilt was a deep purple. Nothing had been etched in it. I stared at them in awe until Jenna said the she was tired and went home.
I looked over at Austin and he looked sad.
"Austin, what's the matter?" He looked at me then a smile appeared on his face.
"Nothing, um.. Cassadra?" He said nervously.
"yeah?"
"I was wondering, um, if you would be my, um-"
"Yes."
"Huh?" Haha! he was confused!
"I will be your girlfriend." I said taking a step closer to him. His sparkled. I got on my tippy-toes and wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him. He started kissing back.
Jenna opened the door and cleared her throat. We boh jumped a part, blushing.
"I left my jacket here..." She tried to explain. I was probably as red as a tamato. "I didn't mean to walk in on you two. How did the happen!" She exclaimed, all calmness gone.
I know she didn't mean to explode. But she didn't exactly need to go balistic.
"Well, it sort of just happened," I mumbled.
"Sort of?" Austin, did you brain wash her? Why was she kissing you?"
"Because she agreed to be my girlfriend!" He snapped. Jenna looked at me like she was the happiest person in the world. Than she ran over and squeezed me tightly.
"I . . . to . . . breath. . . " I gasped.
"You said yes! Finally," She squeaked. "And Austin finally asked you! Your the best big brother!" Now it was Austins turn to be bear hugged by Jenna.
"I can't believe he's had a crush on you for two years and now-"
"Jenna!" Austin shouted.
"Sorry..."
I peeked over at the box. I noticed it has three levels- like a jewlry box. Jenna grabbed her jacket off my by dresser, closed the door, and went down stairs. Austin continued looking at me and I went back over to my bed.
I closed the top and pulled out the second droor (A/n: i know its spelled wrong :p). In it was a circlet. It was made of silver and had a small cresent moon on the front. I smiled and fondled with it. Austin kept staring at me and I looked up and met his eyes. He smiled at me.
I smiled back and his eyes sparkled, He walked over at grabbed the circlet out of the box. He carefully put it on my head. He smiled down at me and I leaned up to kiss him, I was about an inch from his face when my mother walked in.
I sighed and leaned back down. I looked at her
"What?" I asked.
"Um, I was wondering what time Austin had be home," She looked at him.
I looked at the clock, 6:15. we had time.
"Eight thirty ma'am." He answered.
"Don't try anything." I heard her mumble. Austin smiled, he had obviously heard her. "Maybe," he muttered. He smiled at me again and leaned down to kiss me. I heard a knock on my door.
"Leave them be." I murmured against his lips. I heard a cough and pulled away. I looked over at the person. It was Emily.
"What?" i asked, annoyed.
" I'm sorry. Was I inerupting something?" She said in a whisper. I actually felt sorry for her. Vyctoriya was the only friend she actually had.
"No, I'm just cranky." I said. I heard Austin chuckle as I elbowed him.
"I wanted to say I'm sorry, I gave the police the idea thta you killed her." She apologized.
"Well I was thinking about it..." It was Austin's turn to elbow me now. Emily gave a faint smile.
"Your a cute couple..." She muttered as she closed the door behind her. I was just about to kiss him when my phone wrang.
God damn it.
"Ello?" I asked.
"Helllllllllloooooooooo dear," My grandmother. "I wanted to know what time you coming over in the morning. I want to have time to put on my Jack Sparrow wig!"
"Um, I'll probably be there at ten..." I decided.
"Okay dear, we have new neighbors! they're moving in tomorrow!" Crazy old bat.
"I know grandma, they're my friends. they're names are Austin and Jenna." I said slowly.
"Have a goodnight too! Bye dear!" Then she hung up on me.
I turned around quickly and ran over two him. I quickly crushed my lips to his two make sure we at least got two seconds.
We both pulled back. gasping for air. When I was pretty sure he had recovered I slowly brought my lips to his.
His tounge sweeped past my bottom lip, asking for an invitation. I let him in. Our tounges fought for dominance until his wristwatch beeped.
He pulled away hisitantly. He looked down at his watch and a sad look came onto his face. "I have to go." He said quietly.
"Okay... Goodnight Austin. Will you come back tomorrow?"
"Of course I will." He kissed my cheek and walked to the door. He looked at me and smiled before disappearing down the stairs.
I smiled at nothing and went to look in the mirror, My black curly hair was still a mess sinse I never took time to fix it this morning. My green eyes were sparkling. I carefully took off the circlet and placed it back in the box.
I noticed that I didn't know what was in the botton droor. I slowly opened up the droor. It was a moon. and it had a marble pattern with the colors blue and purple.
I thought of the circlet. I quickly pulled the circlet out and to my suprise the moon fit in the shape of it.
I turned the circlet upside down and the moon fell out. I frowned.
I put the circlet on and stuck the moon in place. It started glowing. So you had to put it on... I thought.
I realized I was tired and took of the circlet. The moon fell out again. I smiled and put them both away.
I fell alseep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
3:) O:)
I woke up when I felt someone gently shaking me. I looked up to find Austin smiling down at me. I smiled up at him.
"My mom allowed you in?" I asked
"No, I thought it would be more romantic to climb a tree and come in through the window,"
"Really?"
"No,"
"But I did go out onto the padio first, I broke the flowerpot..." He trailed.
"And may I ask how?"
"I tripped," He shrugged. "Your mom has at least ten of them I don't think she will notice."
"Yes, but there is still broken pieces of flower pot on the patio."
"So you think she'll notice?" He laughed and threw the blankets back. He quickly pulled me up.
"Your mom said you need to get in the shower before you go to your grandma's." He said. I went over to look in the mirror. My hair was a mess. Like usual. I grabbed some clothes and ran into the bathroom.
I quickly runed the nobs and went over to the mirror to take my hair down.
I got undressed and pressed down the nob. the shower head turn on and I stepped in. The warm water felt good againt my skin. I spent about ten minutes in the shower before the water got to hot to continue.
I got out and wrapped a towel around me. I started running my brush through my hair. You know when people have naturally curly hair but it never gets frizzy? yeah, they don't have naturally curly hair.
Mine frizzed up in the rain. I looked like a poodle.
I got on my spaint splattered skirt with gray leggings. I wore just a plain black T-hirt.
I walked out of the bathroom, Austin was listening to 'Broken Wings' by Flyleaf. I don't know why he was listening to a sad song , but a smile appeared on his face when he saw me.
I saw that he had already packed the rest of my things in my bookbag. he turned off my Ipod and put it into my bookbag.
He walked over to me and put his hands around my waist. He leaned down and pressed hit lips against mine. He pulled away and buried his face in my hair.
His breath tickled my cheek. I smiled and put my head on his chest.
"Cassandra!" My mother called from downstairs. I sighed and grabed Austins hand. I lead him downstairs.
My mother looked at me. She pulled me into a tight hug. "I'm going to miss you." She said.
"Same here." She smiled. She pulled me into the hallway and looked at me sternly.
"Now, I know I might not be watching you, but please don't do anything with Austin. i know he's responsible. But... I don't want you to be upset, or regret anyhting. 'kay?"
I laughed. "Okay, but I just started dating him yesterday, Mom."
"I still don't know, but okay." I walked back into the living room. Austin and Jenna were aiting there. Austin looked calm but Jenna couldn't hide her exitment through the big smile she was wearing.
She pulled me all the way out to her car. She demanded that I get in the back seat. I wasn't in the mood o argue with her, so I said yes. A few minutes later Austin walked out and slid in next to me.
"Off to your grandmothers!" Jenna said excitedly.
"Just keep driving shortstack." Austin teased. Jenna turned back to smile at him.
"You betcha."
"Just drive already!" I said getting impatient.
"Okay, okay no need to get sassy."
"Im not getting sassy. I'm getting impatient waiting for you to drive!"
"If I were to start the car and drive off would that make you happy?"
"Yes."
"Okay then." She turned the key in the ignition and the car started. She smoothly back out of the driveway before driving off.
