Okay people, when we last left our two love-birds they were not in a good position. Well, they aren't going to be for a good while so get used to it. I know I'm evil, but…it's fun to play with their emotions. Anyways, I just want to thank my viewers again and I hope you enjoy the fourth chapter.
Chapter 4: You're A Mediator Too?
Hector:
What is wrong with me today? Why did I tell that girl to call me Jesse? I have never met her before in my entire life! Something about her just…makes me…respond. I don't know how else to describe it. When I touched her all I could think was…mine. Yeah that's right, I'm turning into one of those sick guys who claims girls. Great.
I sneered, disgusted with my own thoughts. Girls weren't property they were people. I have five younger sisters and would spend a hundred years haunting perverted men like that if it meant my sisters would be safe. (I find the thought kind of ironic considering he did haunt people that long. Just not for his sisters' sakes.) Closing my own locker, I walked down the hall a few paces and stopped at number 425. My sister's, Josephina's, locker was not far down from mine and the site of a guy waiting for her at her locker was not something I welcomed.
The boy was fairly tall, but shorter than me. I'm about six foot two so I'd say he's about five foot eleven give or take half an inch. His hair was fairly short but messy. Overall he dressed fairly well, but to be honest I don't think any guy is good enough for my sister.
"Who are you?"
Adam:
The guy was tall. Tall, tall, tall. I'm five eleven and he has at least a couple inches on me.
What's Josie doing around a guy like this?
"Who are you?"
Who am I? A better question would be who are you. This guy is like Godzilla or something.
"I'm Adam McTavish and you would be…"
"Hector DiSilva. I'm Josephina's brother."
This guy's her brother!
"Cool. Look I have her math worksheet and means you're like probably giving her a ride home and I have to give my friends a lift can you give it to her?"
The guy seemed to relax a bit. I guess he's protective of his sister and thought I was going to stalk her or something. I already have two girls that I can stalk thank-you-very-much. Sure they may be my best friends, but either way they are girls and I go where they do.
I saw Suze walking down the hallway next to Josephina out of the corner of my eye. Her backpack was slung over her shoulder and she was making these wild hand motions and talking fast by the way her mouth was moving.
"Suze! You ready?"
Suze:
"Josephina you are amazing!"
Looking over at my new friend, plus Jesse's younger sister, I couldn't resist a huge smile.
"I know I am Suze." She smiled right back.
Another mediator in Carmel. How amazing is that? This is like number four? Me, Paul, Father Dom, and Josephina. How cool! We could be the ghost-fighting quadruplets. Gay name- yes, but it is mathematically correct.
"We should probably talk to Father D after you locker."
"Alright, you think he'll mind us dropping in?"
"Father Dom never minds."
Then I started to tell her about my first day of school and how I met Father D. As I was getting to the good part, you know where I am about to exercise Heather's butt, I left Jesse out so as not to freak her, someone calls out, "Suze! You ready?"
Looking up I see Adam standing next to Jesse with a worksheet in his hand.
Ah the bonds that Math brings.
Josephina told me earlier that she had met Adam at lunch and how he was going to give her a copy of a math worksheet at the end of the day.
"Sorry Adam, I'm staying after school today. It'll be you and CeeCee."
A shadow fell over his face.
"Oh…great."
"Anything wrong Adam?"
"Nope. I'll stalk ya later!"
Smiling a bit, he handed the worksheet to Josie then turned and walked away.
"Nice to see you again Susannah."
Josephina:
Jesse knows Suze?
"Long time no see Jesse."
He grinned. That's right my brother grinned. He never does that. Why does he call her Susannah? I know she doesn't like that.
"Of course Susannah it's been an extremely long six hours."
"Jesse, I told you to call me Suze. I don't like using my full name it's like an 1800's name or something."
Jesse just shook his head.
This is creepy. One, Suze calls my brother Jesse and she has known him for six hours. Two he is flirting with her and she's not falling all over herself. And three, well it's weird to see my brother actually talking to a girl instead of sticking his tongue down her throat.
Hector:
"Susannah, Suze is a horrible nickname for you. It reminds me of ooze. Suze-ooze like poison ivy and I do not think you look like poison ivy."
Susannah furrowed in concentration then shook her head and sighed, "You win. I can't think of an argument to that I hate poison ivy. It is my worst enemy here."
I laughed. Think about it, a plant being your worst enemy. I have had much worse enemies. Something shimmered behind Susannah and Josephina.
Speaking of worst enemies.
"Jesse wanna introduce me ta yer new frand?"
I ignored her, Josephina could see her but Susannah couldn't and it would look really strange if I started to talk to air.
Josephina turned around and gave the ghost a look of disgust, "Bug off Francine."
Susannah turned around and laughed, "Francine? Your name is Francine! Hahaha."
Susannah can see ghosts?
"Hey Jesse, does this man you can see dead people too?"
"Yeah."
"Awesome! Father D is goanna go off the walls when he finds out there are five mediators in Carmel."
Father Dominic:
Jesse is a mediator and so is his sister, how fabulous!
"This is quite amazing that so many mediators are in one place!"
"Father, who's the fifth mediator?" Jesse looked at me questioningly.
"Paul Slater."
Susannah snorted in what I assumed to be disgust.
"Susannah…"
"Oh don't mind me Father D, I'm just going to sit here and be quite as you tell Jesse and Josie about the scum of the…I mean most kind monster…I mean man on this Earth."
Jesse and Josephina were clearly amused.
"Susannah you need to learn how to forgive."
"I. Think. Not. I. Hate. Him."
Each word was emphasized, and Jesse look concerned for her.
Is it possible for Jesse to regain his memories?
"Another new student will be coming to school tomorrow. Her name is Megaera Thornton."
"Is she a mediator to?" Josephina had been fairly quiet but curiosity got the better of her. At least she won't be as loud and disruptive as Susannah.
"I have my suspicions that she is not normal, but I do not think she is a mediator."
"Yo, Father Dominic you wanted me?" Paul's head stuck out from the crack in the door.
Please Lord help Susannah to behave herself.
"Yes Paul please come in."
Susannah look betrayed, "If he's coming I'm soooo leaving." She got up out of her chair and left.
What is a priest to do?
"I'll go after her."
Relief filled me, "Thank you Hector."
Hector:
I found Susannah in the cemetary behind the school. To say she was upset when I found her is an understatement. She was crying, sobbing almost.
"Susannah?" I didn't realize that I had only whispered her name.
What is she leaning over?
I watched from behind as Susannah sat in the dirt path and placed her hand in front of her. I could hear low mumbles but couldn't figure out what she was saying.
"Susannah," my voice was now audible, "why did you go?"

Okay what did you think? Leave me criticism comments anything I can take them. Sorry about the semi-cliffy but I want you to comment and give me some ideas for the next chapter. I had writer's block for a while and then this wonderful filler idea came into my head.
