But Selene is still mine though. And thanks Esme Kali Phantom for suggestions for improving the story a little. It means a lot. Anyway on with Chapter 4.
Chapter #4 New Friends
"'Bout time." Selene thought as the bell rang.
It was the end of third period and everyone was rushing out of the classroom for lunch. Selene gathered up her things and was about to leave when her Biology teacher stopped her.
"Miss Strong."
Selene stopped about a foot from the door. She turned and faced her Biology teacher.
"Yes, Mr. Lancer?" she asked, fighting the urge to run.
Selene knew she couldn't be in trouble. But being alone with a teacher always makes her nervous. She wasn't the kind of person who likes to cause trouble. She was someone who always on time and obeyed the rules. Then she remembered what happened. It was halfway through the period when Mr. Lancer told the class they were going to study blood cells when she got sick, ran out of the room and threw up in the trashcan.
"Oh no!" Selene thought in horror. "It must've been what happened in the hallway!"
"If it's about the disaster in the hallway, I didn't plan it or anything."
Mr. Lancer chuckled. "I wouldn't call it a disaster, Selene."
Selene blinked confused. "What is it then?"
"An episode. Not many students can handle this course very well."
Selene stared at him for a few minutes. She always wanted to meet her godfather. But now she's not sure.
"This person can't be my godfather." she thought. "He doesn't look like the way I last saw him. Maybe he's related to my godfather somehow."
"Um, Mr. Lancer, are you related to a David Lancer?"
Mr. Lancer froze when he heard his first name. "Where did you hear that name?"
"He's my godfather." Selene replied.
Mr. Lancer turned and stared at Selene. Selene started to get worried.
"Did...I say something wrong?" she asked.
Mr. Lancer shook his head.
"No, Selena, it's nothing" he said. "You better get going."
He turned and gathered his things from his desk. Selene watched for a few minutes.
"Ok." she said. "Bye." Then she left.
Mr. Lancer turned and watched her walk down the hall. When she was out of sight, he reached into his breast pocket and pulled out a photograph. The photograph was taken 14 years ago when he still had hair. It showed him standing beside a man and woman he has known since college. Standing beside the man was a 10 year old boy with dirty blonde hair and in the woman's arms was a baby girl with bluish-green eyes. Mr. Lancer stared at the photograph for a few minutes.
"She looks a lot like her mother." he thought as he placed the photograph back in his breast pocket. "Don't worry Gene and Wendy; I'll help her as much as I can."
Selene walked out to the courtyard. She walked pass the tables ignoring glances from her classmates. She found a nice spot under a tree near the courtyard fence. Even though it's a cloudy day, she couldn't take any chances. She can't stay out in the sun too long or she'll burn. She can't stand the thought of her skin burning and blistering from the sun's rays. She sat down under the shade of the tree using her Math textbook as cushion. She reached into her bag and pulled out a tanned colored thermos. She was about to unscrew the top when.
"Hey there, mind if we join you?"
Selene looked up to see a messy haired boy, an African-American boy with a red beret and a Goth girl she saw in her English class. Selene stared at the trio for a few minutes before saying.
"Sure, you three can sit here" She moved over to make room.
"I'm Danny Fenton, by the way." The messy haired boy said as he sat down beside Selene.
He shivered and a blue mist rose out of his mouth. Then Selene shivered and a blue mist rose out of her mouth. She quickly turned it into a cough.
"Are you ok?" The Goth girl asked.
"Yeah." Selene coughed. "Just a tickle."
"Oh anyway, these are my friends, Tucker Foley and Sam Manson."
"Nice to meet you." Selene said.
"And a pleasure to meet you." Tucker said, looking at Selene dreamily.
Selene cringed.
Sam noticed and glared at Tucker.
"Tucker, don't scare her off!" she snapped.
Turning to Selene, she said. "Sorry, Tucker doesn't know when to shut up."
"Hey!"
"It's true!"
"Guys!"
Tucker and Sam stopped arguing and turned to see Danny glaring at them.
"Would you two stop?"
"Sorry, man."
"Sorry, Danny." Sam said.
Danny turned to Selene who as staring at the trio confused.
"You two act like this a lot?" she asked.
"No, not all the time." Sam answered.
"Yeah, only on special occasions." Tucker said, grinning at Sam, who gave a glare in return.
Danny quickly changed the subject. "So, you're from Canada, huh?"
"Uh huh." Selene said, pouring some soup into the lid of the thermos. "Born and raised."
"How do you like it here?" Sam asked.
"I still don't know this place much." Selene answered. "The only areas I know are here and where I'm staying."
"Where are you staying?" Tucker asked before taking a bite out of his burger.
"I'm staying with the Fentons." She turned to Danny, taking a swing from her cup. "How come I never met you until today?"
"You're staying at Danny's and you never met him?" Sam asked.
Selene shook her head. "I never met Danny's father either, just his mother and sister."
"I was sick yesterday." Danny said. "And so was my dad."
"Makes sense." Tucker said. "I heard there's a bug going around."
"Tucker, I'm eating!" Sam complained as she picked at her salad.
"I know." Tucker grinned.
Danny rolled his eyes. "Anyway, you want to go to the movies with us after school?" he asked. "We can show you around town afterwards."
Selene smiled. "Sure." She said. "Sounds great."
Meanwhile, the four teenagers didn't know they were being watched. Sitting in the tree above them out of sight, Floyd looked down at the four teens listening carefully as they talked.
"They've made contact." He thought as he made himself invisible.
It took a lot of concentration because most of his sorcery powers were weaken when he was turned into a vampire centuries ago. He carefully flew down to the ground and crawled towards the group. He blinked, his eyes turning a bright gray. He stared at Selene for a few minutes. Then shook his head.
"It hasn't appeared." he thought in disappointment and worry.
Floyd never wanted someone like Selene to be forced into becoming his master's bride but he can't disobey his master. When the mark appears on her skin. He has to take her to Blaine whatever he likes it or not.
"It's not time, Master." he said as the bell rang and he watched Selene and her new friends walk back into the school.
"Soon, it will be." he master's voice said. "And remember, Floyd you know what will happen if you fail."
Floyd cringed, for he knew what awaits him if he fails. He nodded then disappeared in a puff of gray smoke.
Whoa! Selene is being spied on? Oh No! Reviews please.
