Hi everyone its v823queen again how is everybody? Thank you for the reviews! You guys that did review are awesome and those who didn't the pretty little button is right down there. Anyway so my book is called Shudder and it is coming out sometime at the end of 2011. I know its sooo far away but I am so excited. I am currently a junior in high school so its hard keeping up! I'll try for you guys so here goes the story!
Present
The nurse said I was able to leave as long as I took it easy and rested up due to the possibility of having a relapse. At the word relapse my heart sank. I could not take that brutally stabbing pain ever again, and I have the proof to show it; the four little tiny stitches embedded on my abdomen.
"Maddy I'm going to get the car and you stay here with the nurse do not go anywhere, do you understand?" asked Demi.
"Yeah, of course because I am just gonna roll myself out of here on this wheelchair and race home with some hobo." I replied sarcastically.
At my smartass remark Demi rolled his eyes and hurriedly turned away leaving for the hospital parking located on the rear.
I kind of felt bad about the way that I had been treating Demi lately. I know all he wants is for me to be safe and happy but now he is starting to suffocate me.
It started when I woke up from that horrible dream exactly one week ago….
One week ago
I could hear voices, loud enough that it seemed they were right outside my room. I recognized one of the voices to be Demitri but the other was foreign.
"What do we do Marcus I heard Madeline mumble in her sleep about Madeline Petreath. This cannot happen again it has happened too many times. I am not even prepared to lose her yet; it's nowhere near her sixteenth birthday."
"Sir, I had one of my sources get inside the Circle's territories long enough to find out that they are planning an ambush. They have been keeping tabs on Maddy ever since her mother went missing on that mission seven years ago. I'm afraid they are going to be taking action more quickly this time, due to the past history of the prophecy almost fulfilling itself."
"I need to get Maddy out of here, she is not safe, and by this time those mangy animals have surrounded the premises. Marcus I want you to recruit some of our best and have them located around the area when I check Maddy out one week from today. I'll see you then my old friend."
What was going on? Who is the Circle and why am I not safe with my Demi anymore? What does my make believe character Madeline Petreath have to do with anything? All of these thoughts raced through my head as Demi walked through the door looking more anxious than I had ever seen him.
His usually composed face looked worn out and pale making him look older than he normally would and his typically perfect hair was tousled over his face.
I closed my eyes feigning to be asleep because I did not feel like being questioned anymore. Just when I thought I had gotten away with my little act, I felt a hot breath near my neck and the warmth radiating off of a body that was not my own.
"Madeline, you never were a good actress." Murmured Demi and quickly walked out of the room but not before I could see the agitated look that was plastered on his face.
End of Flashback
"Madeline did you hear a word I said? We need to leave. Now." Demitri was nearly hissing at me and even went as far as to pick me up out of my chair.
"Okay okay I'm sorry I was thinking. Are you mad?" I asked in a small voice.
"No I'm not mad at you, I could never be." He whispered.
Just as Demi was lifting me into the car I felt an explosion in my head and then I couldn't move my body-it was happening again, the dream.
Oh no not again, not again… this can't be happening, not now… I remember thinking, as I was slowly being sucked into a distant memory.
So what did you guys think? Okay it wasn't a giant chapter but to me it was and it took me like an hour between doing chemistry homework and writing a poem for English so bear with me. You are going to soon find out what these dreams are and a Madeline Petreath flashback will be in next chapter sooo please review.!
