Deucalion POVI watched as my little mate thought over what i had said, confusion and undecisioness could be smelled easily from her but also the underlaying happiness and safety she felt when i had walked into the room. It tugged at my heart and made me feel more human than i've felt in years - it was almost a bit frightening how much she could affect but at the same time i reveled in it. She brought out a side of me that has been under lockdown for years in order to gain power and form a plan that would ensure my revenge. Her presence was a hinder, that's for sure but i knew that not me or my wolf could ever push her away.
Especially not now when she was hurt and looked so vulnerable. Kali had adviced me not to but when we got to the hospital and Abbie was put in her own room i used my alpha vision to take a look at her. The sight of her laying unconcious, trashing and whimpering in fear from whatever she dreamed with her injuries made me want to find Boyd and rip him to pieces. She had ugly bruises around her neck and legs along with scratches from being dragged by his dirty hands. They had to change her cast and this time by her little sister Summers request she had purple tape this time. Kali hadn't dared to read her chart so we knew nothing more than what we could see and i was worried for her.
As her siblings were and when i switched of my alpha vision i along with the rest of the pack offered them comfort. Summer had cried into Kalis chest while Elijah had sat silently between the twins while them rubbed his back and talked to him about whimsical things. When the police came to talk with them we promised them we would stay by Abbies side until they came back and we did.
When Abbie started to scream in her sleep Aiden who had already walked up to her to check on her and punched him we were relieved only for a moment - thinking that she was just clumsy until my heart sank when she didn't recognize us. It hurt when Kali made us men go outside but one look at my mate and i knew it was for the best at the moment.
Which also let us gain interesting information because when we walked out of the room the hospital workers gossiped about three murders - a teenage boy and two girls who didn't have anything in common. I felt my attention being drawn to it and told Ennis to investigate which he did and when he came back after sometime he told me that their one common things were that they all were virgins - i put that tidbit of information into the back of my mind just as Kali walked out to tell us how Abbie was. I felt sick for a moment and relieved when Kali told me to get in there while they waited outside for her siblings and parents.
When i got into the room i could smell in the air that she had been crying but she had stopped when i came in. I had frowned then in favor of growling in anger because i knew her tears had everything to do with a certain werewolf that i were planning to punish next time i saw him. When we talked i heard the strain in her voice, the pain that i would do anything to ease but couldn't now that she was awake without her noticing and it reminded me of her dream mumbling that unsettled me for some reason. Especially the wolf part.
"... O-o-okay..." She said quietly but sure. "In my dream i-i-im running through the woods-"
"My baby!" The door slammed up and i growled defensively before i smelled that whoever it was were related to Abbie. Just for a second i put on my alpha vision and relaxed when the her mother came in view - i had seen her mother a few times in town and she looked like a older version of Abbie. I took in her in the state of the scrubs she wore, her hair pulled back by a bandana and the scent of germicide soap told me she had been in surgery. I squeezed Abbies shoulder just for a second before stepping away when the scent of tears reached my sensitive nose. I felt the wind tousle my hair a bit when Abbie's mother rushed to her daughters side.
"Mama!" I stood by their side, didn't want to leave until i were sure she wouldn't be left alone. I gave them a moment of peace before opening my mouth to speak.
"I sincerely apologize to interrupt you but i just want to make sure that Abigail won't be left alone and is well before i take my leave Mrs. McAddams." I gave her mother a polite smile. I could tell that they stopped hugging - as i had assumed they did - by the sound of movement.
"Im sorry mister but who are ya'?" She sniffled while speaking with her southern drawl heavinly punctuated in her voice. American southern folks tend to use a more refined accent when they're working in high classified jobs such as a doctor for example - which meant that she was riled up which is understandable given the cirumstances.
"My name is Deucalion and im your next door neighboor along with my family. It's a pleasure to finally meet you despite the circumstances, you have a wonderful daughter." I put my hand forward and shoke hands with her respectfully. Since Abbie is my mate and hopefully if i play my cards right then her family will become part of mine in the future - best to put on the "swoon worthy-english man" persona as Ethan called it. I think i, as Aiden puts it, nailed it as i could smell relief and that she was pleased. We released each others hands.
"Oh, so ya're the fella' living in the cabin house?" I nodded. "Nice house, neighbor." She joked.
"Mama!" I heard Abbie whisper-squeek to her mother embarassed and i bit back a grin.
"To answer ya're question mister, i will be with Abbie from now on but can i ask ya what ya'll doin' here?" Her mothers question was expected.
"I and my family heard her scream. We were the ones who found her and brought her home before we called for an ambulance. I know it may seem weird but your daughter demanded for us to take her to Elijah and Summer before we called for help. I apologize." I answered my already planned answer, sometimes having the ability to plan ahead were a blessing.
"Oh no, don't ya dare apologize - i don't care how! I and ma' husband are just glad that you kept our little girl safe and stayed by her side until i got here. If anythin' i should be thankin' ya." Her voice got thick and the smell of tears hit me so i took out a handkerchief i always kept on me. I offered it to Abbies mother who took it with a sniffling "thank ya'" and dried her tears.
"Thank ya' Deucalion..." I looked towards the sound of Abbie's voice a bit surprised, when she spoke further i could almost hear the blush in her voice and the gentle smile - if only i could see it with my own eyes. "For everythin' i mean... Y-y-ya're a very nice man and please give the others, especially Kali my thanks for saving me... And for stayin' with me..."
The hollow place in my chest that had only burned with rage and thirst for vengeance fluttered with slow, expanding warmth - for years i've been killing and made the necessairy sacrifices in order to get strong enough to kill Gerard and those who were at his side that horrible day. The day which not only took away my sight but also the humanity i had left in me, what led to my own trustworthy beta to question and threathen my position as Alpha. But meeting Abbie and spending time with her - even though the times were short - made me feel more alive, more human than i have done since that day. The warmth that had started to spread in my chest were unfamiliar after so long but not un-welcome. So this is the power of just the beginning of a mate bond... How... Terrifying and calming... In other words - bittersweet...
"I wouldn't have left you my dear." No matter what... That was the un-spoken truth but i think she heard me anyway if i were to judge by the way her heart literally skipped a beat. And because i am - as she put it - the bad blind wolf i couldn't resist the urge to add a little hidden teasing. "Saving a damsell in distress is quite refreshing, i would gladly do it again." But only if you are the damsell... "I hope you recovery goes well and that we will cross paths, i would like to be not only good neighbors but mayhaps also friends in the future."
"Likewise mister Deucalion, in fact - i want to thank ya and ya're family for everything ya've done for my children by inviting ya'll over for dinner next saturday night." Abbies mother declared then and when i heard Abbies surprised gasp i couldn't help but smirk.
"That's a marvelous idea but i wouldn't want to trouble you." I replied politely.
"Nonsense smonches! It's the least i could do for ya, how does sevenish sound?" She suggested. I thought it over for a minute and when i found that it didn't collide with my plan but that it also would give more time in Abbies presence the answer was obvious.
"Perfect, until next saturday then. Goodbye." With that i left mother and daughter.
Outside in the hallway my pack awaited me - instantly Kalis arm encircled mine and lead me out with the rest of the pack behind us. We walked in silence out of the hospital towards our vehicle, neither of us wanting to speak out in the open and chance an nuisance hearing us. Finally in the car i spoke.
"We can't go after Boyd, not yet at least." I told them in a warning tone even while it filled my mouth with a bitter taste. All of us had become quickly enamoured with Abbie but i more so because of my bond with her - so they all knew just how much i wanted to rip away his manhood and shove it up his own arse for starters. Which meant that that they also knew that if i said we would, we would wait - no questions asked. The twins growled quietly in displeasure but otherwise kept their mouth shut. Ennis who had always hade a hard time controlling his temper pumched the dashbird which left a dent in it - i guessed by the sound of it.
"Sure boss." Kali with a respectful tone. "So, dinner at Abbies? That'll be fun." She changed the subject quickly. "If she remember us by then, amnesia is tricky - it can last for the long haul or she can regain it tomorrow." There was a small sadness in both her tone and scent but there was no questioning her wisedom. "But no pressuring from any of you. Sometimes it works but sometimes not, when it doesn't work not only does the one pressuring get hurt but also the one with amnesia who may backfire in wanting to remember and will cry because of the selfloathing they feel for not remembering. Do you want to be the reason she cries?" While it sounded like Kali spoke to the whole group i knew that she was really talking to me. Which was un-necessairily i might add. Females, the most horrifying creauture walking on earth...
"Do you?" I dryly asked her with a hidden eyeroll behind my aviators before turning serious again. "And i don't know if you heard it or not but the dream is still a mystery."
"Hopefully it wasn't anything important, maybe just a dream." Ennis offered.
"Or maybe memories from last night jumbled together? We don't and won't know until Abbie decides to tell one of us. If she decides to tell us that is." Kali said calmly.
"... Guys, i know we have enough on our platter but what will we do about Greg and the guys?" Ethan asked carefully and i heard Aiden sigh sadly from that statement.
"Erica was his cousin, yes?" I asked and heard Aiden murmer a quiet yes. "His friends are?"
"Rico and Abbies little brother, Luke." Aiden responded.
"Ah, they deserve an explanation." I frowned bitterly. "I can only hope they will listen to us since they have connections with Hale and McCall."
"When are you going to summon them?" Ethan asked calmly yet his scent was worried.
"Well, taking Abbies condition into considering i would say that this fridays plans with her has been cancelled for now which leaves an opening in our schedule." I answered.
"We'll send a text to them now and let them know." Aiden said as the sound of him textin reached my ears.
The rest of the ride was quiet - vocally because in our hearts we roared in anger. I took an silent oath for the second time in my life that when this was over, i were going to punish those who hurt Abbie - starting with Cora and ending with Boyd. The first time i took an oath - was when Gerard had made the mistake in double crossing me which had led me to take the path i once wanted to avoid. The path of destruction and revenge.

Abbies POV
"Do ya have you're pain-killers?" I nodded. "Ya're water bottle?" I nodded again and sighed a little. "Ya're lady napkins?" I blushed furiously at mama while Luke howled with laughter.
"MAMA!" I squeeked and she hushed at Luke with a disapproving frown.
"Seriously, period and lady napkins is a natural way of life." And a taboo subject to speak about - especially in front of the other gender mama. Geez, didn't she learn anything in med-school? Except for saving lives. "Sorry little filly, just worried that's all. It's the first time ya're back to school after the accident..." I stopped feeling embarassed when she said that.
It had been about a week since last i was in school and my memory was still lost. I couldn't for the life of me remember anything from the attack - or accident as mama sugercoated it - or the days before it. It was scary. Everytime i tried to remember i only got a blank and it felt so un-natural to not remember a few days of you're life. Luckily though i remembered my family and friends - Rico, Greg - with the exception of two others apparently if what Luke told me was true. I think their names was Ethan and Aiden... Or was it Ian and Cadence?
"Mama, she'll be fine - she has me and the others at her back." Luke reassured us. I smiled thankfullly at him and mama pinched his cheek while murmuring how much she loved her baby boy. "Mama! Stop it! Im a big ass man!" Summer and Elijah giggled like crazy.
"No, you're my big ass baby boy!" She retorted teasingly which sent Luke over the edge. With a blush that could rival my own and red traffic lights he grabbed his bag before getting out of the car faster than ya'll could say redneck crazy. "Love ya!" Mama called after him with a smile.
"Love ya too." He said dryly before closing the door after him and walked over to Rico who stood by a bench waiting for us. Greg was nowhere to be seen but that was understandable, mama had told me that Erica had been found and that she had been murdered. Poor girl...
I never said anythin' to mama but when she told me this Luke had been in the room - he had looked at me with an expression that told me he knew more than mama and gettin' information outta him would be as easy as catching the Snitch in a game of Quidditch. But that wasn't all, he along with Rico walked on eggshells around me and they always got quiet when i walked into the room if they had been on the phone or reading some book they borrowed from me - usually books about different supernaturals and other stuff. I've been keepig mental notes about it but nothing more because i needed to use my strenght to rest and get better - not playing Sherlock Holmes.
Until today. It had been a week since i've woken up from the attack, everyday i rested while also doin' anything i could in order to get back to normalcy. Today, i had finally gotten the thumbs up from mama to go back to school - i limped a little but not as bad as in the beginning. My throat was much better, i still had trouble eating and talking for long but other than that it was nothing. My cast were still in one piece - hallelujah! The only things that still bothered me were my frequent headaches, nightmares and the bruises. The painkillers and sleeping meds helped me with the first two. For the bruises, i only had one option really - to hide them. That's why i had choosen a lilac, longsleeved turtleneck tunic paired with a grey vest, light blue jeans, my cowboy boots for today. My wavy auburn hair was down and i wore a grey headband that separated my bangs from my hair. I looked at my amethyst earrings, fixed my glasses - thank the high force they survived the attack! - before grabbing my bag from the floor and turned to mama.
"I'll be goin' now, have a great day at work." I told her and turned back to the twins. "Love ya munchkins." They reached forward to give me each a careful one sided hug. I looked to mama. "Love ya mama." I hugged her and she hugged me back with a small sigh.
"Love ya too little filly." With that i got out of the car, closed the door and waved until they were out of sight with a smile. When they were gone i dropped my smile, took a deep breath before turning and walked with a limp towards two of the quack pack. I puppy dog-glared at them and crossed my arms when i stood by their side. They looked at my confused.
"Now ya're goin' to tell me exactly what it is that you've been hiding now that no one is around to hear us." Rico looked to his feet while Luke decided to play innocence.
"Have you taken too much painkillers? Hallucinations and paranoia doesn't suit ya hobbit."
"Watch it troll." I lowered my voice so that i were whispering. "You both know what im talking about - ever since friday when you went over to your friends Ian and Cadence's-"
"Ethan and Aiden." Luke corrected me with a roll of his eyes and i just continued ignoring it.
"- house ya'll been actin' weird around me for some reason. Borrowing books - without tellin' me mostly and never give explanations when i had confronted ya. Becoming quiet as church mouses when i walk into a room. Never lettin' me out of ya're sights when i wanted some fresh air and it's drivin me nuts so ya'll better tell me what it is ya're keeping from me or-"
"Or what?" Luke asked me with a mocking voice that made me pout in irritation at him.
"Or... Else!" I threathened them lamely because i had nothing. Oh why couldn't i have been accepted to Hogwarts so i could hex the truth out of them or send an boggart at them - because life is unfair, that's why. Oh! I sounded just like Professor Snape - yihaa!
"Oh no! Im so scared." Luke said with a girly voice started to shake for added effect.
"Luke!" I whined when i knew that my battle was lost - again - for now.
"Sorry hobbit, not tellin' ya." He declared and furrowed my eyebrows.
"Why?" I asked confused and Rico decided to finally open his mouth.
"Because angélita, it's for you're own safety." He walked up to me and layed an arm around my shoulders carefully. "But papa Rico can tell you for a small price." Luke looked suspiciously at him. Which meant that Rico was doing this on his own accord and probably truthful.
"Really!?" I asked ecstatic and smiled up at him. "What's the price?"
"Oh, angélita just a little beso en mi boca." He said with a grin and teasing eyebrows.
"Pardón?" I asked in french. While Luke was taking spanish - obviously if i were to judge by the way he chuckled with Rico - i were taking french as my secondary language in school.
"A kiss!" I blushed when he squeeled his confession happily and i tried to get out of his arms. "Come on, just a little one angélita - i've been taking sucking on a breath mint while waiting for you so im ready." Luke laughed his ass off while i tried to escape Ricos lips.
"No! Niet! Nada!" I responded with a wagging finger at him. He laughed evily and despite my efforts of tryin to be mad i gigggled like a loon at him when he did some snake sounds trying to look scary. "Release me assbutt!" I told him and he paused with what he was doing when he suddenly looked at something. "Rico?" He didn't answer me. "Rico, what's wrong?" I noticed that Luke looked the same way and whispered something but i couldn't hear him. I looked the way the way they were looking and saw Scott standing with Stiles by the school entrance. He was looking straight at Luke, for some reason Scott winced and nodded at Luke before walking into the school with Stiles hot on his heels. "Oookay, what's going on?"
"Global warming." Luke drawled sarcstically and looked back at me.
"For real?" I asked him with a raised eyebrow and Rico finally released me.
"It's very real, haven't you seen the video with the pola bear? Poor thing." He tutted with a pout. Rico gave Luke a high five and grinned back at me.
"Ganging up against a defenseless and clueless girl? Ya'll should be ashamed!" I told them using my best stern-mama expression. I even put my hands to my hips.
"And here i was wondering what kind of teacher Abbie would be." A voice said behind me.
"A boring one?" Another voice suggested before chuckling and i spun around. Behind me stood the twins from the hospital. The one to the right, who was slightly taller was Aiden and the one to the left was nameless for me but considering what Luke told me...
"Aiden?" I asked the one i thought was Aiden questionally. He nodded with a big grin. I looked to his twin. "Ian?" He shoke his head sadly. "Ethan?" I tried again.
"Yeah, don't you remember me?" Ethan asked calmly. I bit my lip and felt bad.
"N-n-no, not Aiden either r-r-really... I just remembered his name from when i woke up in the hospital and s-s-someone called him Aiden... P-p-plus that Luke told me that i had gotten two friends named Aiden and Ethan or Cadence and Ian - i wasn't listening properly... S-s-sorry... I-i-im so sorry i can't remember you..." From what Luke had told me the twins and i had gotten close quickly, they were my first own friends that i hadn't gotten to know through Luke who usually made me friends with his friends. I felt really bad, i were horrible... "Sorry."
"Hey, enough with that." Ethan told me and the twins stood on each side of me. I didn't feel cornered though, i felt safe and happy. "You haven't done anything wrong or need to feel bad that you can't remember us. It's the amnesia, a medical condition that you can't do anything about. We understand that and Aiden has come up with a suggestion. Aiden."
"I figured that until you're amnesia goes away we could start over with our friendship, becoming friends again." He told me slightly embarassed and i stared at him in awe.
"Would you consider doing that?" I told them surprised and felt tears coming to my eyes. Then he did something that i instictively knew he didn't do much - he blushed and scratched his neck while nodding. I looked to Ethan who smiled at me friendly. "Aww, you-" I turned back to Aiden. "and you... I would love to..." A tear fell down my cheek and careful of my glasses i brushed it away. They were so kind and non-judgemental that they touched my heart deeply with their sweet gesture. "In that case..." I took a step forward, turned around in order to look at them both and stuck both my hands out. "Nice to meet ya fellas, my name is Abigail McAddams and im new here." They grinned and shoke hands with me.
"Im Aiden and this is my brother Ethan." Aiden told me cockily.
"It's nice to meet you two." Ethan told me kindly.
"If ya'll keep up with that sweet, heartwarming stuff im going to barf." Luke told us teasingly.
"Oh, shut up - it's unhealthy being that jealous." I teased back and Rico howled with laughter. The bells rang from the school. "We better be going, i don't want to be late."
"Goody two shoes." Luke stuck his tongue out at me as we walked too slowly for my liking but i couldn't help it with my limping. I puppy-glared at Luke.
"Troll." I stuck my tongue out at him. We finally got into school and the twins lead me to the left while Luke walked to the right with Rico.
"Hobbit." He told me as his goodbye.
"Toiletbrush." I told him with a sugar sweet smile.
"Adios amigos!" Rico yelled to us with a big wave.
"Sayornara." I waved back to Rico.
"Adios." The twins said and saluted Rico. The three of us talked and got to know each other all over again while working on a history project i couldn't remember having - luckily they helped me get started. I learned that they lived with their uncle Deucalion, uncle Ennis and his fiancé Kali in a timber-cottage styled house in the woods not far from me. When they mentioned Deucalion my stomach fluttered with butterflies and i blushed a little thinking of the nice man.
"Look Ethan, i think somebody's got a crush." Aiden teased me then and blushed more.
"N-n-n-no! Where did you get that crazy idea monsieur? I don't have a crush on Deucalion, i only have celebrity crushes. E'yup, nothing more or less. Nope, not me." I tried to play oblivious but my natural awkwardness and shyness got in the way. "And it's natural, everyone have celebrity crushes - even clebrities. But is it really called celebrity crushes then since themselves are celebrities? Is it just called crushes? Maybe they have something like businessman crushes or PT crushes? They are just like us, bodies made of flesh and bones that have more talent than in our pinkies and is probably worth more than my house. Especially Matt Bomer, definitely Matt Bomer. Matt boomer... He's hot and gay - which most hot and good guys are. " I put a hand to my mouth inorder to stop my nervous rambling when most of the groups around had turn to hear what i said better. Oh no... Oh no, think of something fast ya nutcracker! "Side effects of my painkillers, wazzup guys?" I swear, if i were guy my name would have been Phil Mygrave - seriously. When the twins glared at our classmates they finally turned around and i sighed. "I need to get a zipper for my big mouth..."
"Don't, we like your rambling - it's cute." Ethan said with a wink.
"And hilarious but remember one thing - we laugh with you, not at you." Aiden nudged me playfully and i nudged back. I could clearly see why these two boys had become my first, real friends - i only wished i could remember our first meeting.
TIMESKIPPILY-SKIP (Flanders voice.)
The twins and i switched numbers, texted each other during the whole wednesday after school while i was resting at home. We found out we had many things in common - like our love for videogames and disney movies. The last one truly surprised, they looked too tough but they convinced me when they sent me an picture of them just having bought the Tangled DVD. Then we talked about having a gamin' night - they confessed that we actually had planned to have a friday night gamin' night at them last friday.
We quickly changed it to this friday and that's how we got to the subject of saturday, the day Deucalion would come to my home. I was very nervous over that and their teasing didn't help, which i told them and then they did the unthinkable - they called me. And since im below the average dumb line in these situations i answered with a smart ass reply.
"Ya listen to me baby face. Anymore teasin' n' im gonna come over to ya're little, ol' cabin and smack you're ass mister like my ol' grandma did to my papa. Ya sounde like ya need it." I told the caller confidentally - purely teasing as i thought it was Aiden. Worst. Mistake. EVER!
"Really? Well, if you think that's what i need i'm up for it darling." Deucalion answered.
I did the only reasonable thing - threw away my cellphone with a scream and hid under the covers of my bed. For fifteen minutes before i gathered the courage and picked up my phone - he was still there and i had apologized several times to him. He accepted them with a humoured chuckle and told me he would make the twins tease me so much - which i was thankful for and prayed to any higher force that he didn't know what they were teasing me about. Then we talked about school, how i were doing and how he was doing - then we got to the subject of literature for some reason.
A reason which i didn't give a rat's ass about because it didn't matter that i were an awkward, book loving, self-embarassing four-eye teenager or that he were an sophisticated, cool, faint-worthly-hot older man - when we started talkin it felt so natural. So easy. I had never in my whole life felt so comfartable with someone and didn't know that talkin' about something as ordinairy as school could be so much satisfying when the person you talked with laughed at the funny parts and lifted you up during the bad parts. Hearing him talk about his day was interesting, even if i didn't undestand some business thingy but he didn't seem to mind - only happy that somebody listened to him i think.
It was exatcly the kind of feeling my papa desrcibed one time when i asked him how you knew which guy - or girl if you swing that way - were THE ONE. That one way to know is that when you meet THE ONE, hearing her - in this instance - talking about taking care of an puking, old man with the stomach flue and you can still find beautiful with said puke left on their scrubs - then you know.
But it was too early and wrong for me to even think about that with Deucalion - so i ignored it and ended the call with the promise of talking more on saturday. When it finally ended and the feelings for Deucalion came back i groaned. Falling back unto my bed, putting my bad arm resting on my forehead. Oh dang it... I need nutella and a disney movie... Beauty and The Beast... Yeah, that sounds really good...
"ABBIE! ELIJAH PUKED ON THE RUG AND I FEEL SICK!" Or i can clean up after my sick little brother and little sister who will surely follows his lead. I hate the stomach flue.
"Lovely..." I sat up, went over to my dresser and took a hairclip that pinched my nose so that i wouldn't smell anything - hopefully. "COMING SWEETHEART!"

Thursday Greg came back to school, he had hugged me tightly and apologized for not being around which made me hug harder - despite my casted arm and bruises. He had no reason to apologize, of course he would be gone to come to term with Erica's death - they had been pretty close until she met Derek Hale and changed.
Before Derek he and Rico aways looked out for her when they could. Hanging with her and supporting her but last year their shedules became too different and Erica got bullied alot because Greg nor Rico were around to beat the bullies up. Erica had a hard time and cried alot into Greg's shoulder, one time Greg heard them snickering at her for her disease and it ended with the bully and Greg going to the hospital. After that Erica became distant, never talked about her problems and closed up. Then Derek came and Erica closed of her connection with Greg, something about protecting him - the night she disappeared.
Greg told me he felt better but wouldn't be able to move on fully until her killer got what he-she deserved. Which was understandable and i told him that no matter what, that i along with Chip - Luke - n' Dale - Rico - would be on his side. Ethan and Aiden told him that too - i noticed that something deeper was going on between Quack Pack and the twins but didn't ask. Eventually they would hopefully tell me, i wasn't too worried though - it didn't feel like it was something more like they finally saw each other in a new light.
The only thing i was worried about was how i were supposed to act around Greg but he quickly eased it when he started to goof around like i remember from before my memory loss. It was then that happened.
We were walking down the hallway towards the cafeteria for lunch, my leg really throbbed real painfully along with my head and i limped ahead of everyone so that i could as soon as possible get my hands on a beverage so that i could take my painkillers. Unluckily for me Jennifer Blake came around the corner right when i were about to walk past it.
We collided and i fell to my left side with a scream. Ethan and Aiden quickly catched me, which brought me back all my lost memories of them and their family except Deucalion. Oh dang it! Which was great - except that i couldn't remember Deucalion - but at that moment i couldn't revel in that. No. When they helped me to my feets i locked eyes with Jennifer and a fear inducing chill went down my spine. For some reason just by looking at her made the hairs on my neck stand, i felt cold looking at her and wanted to run. She asked me if i was fine and had taken a step towrds me - instnalty i had limped backwards and nodded quickly with the silent hope that she would just leave me alone.
An uncertain and dark look came over her face for a second, the twins seemed to had noticed my unease - they were very perciptive - and stood protectively in front of me. Shielding me from Jennifer and telling her that they - pluss Quack Pack - were going to make sure i was being taken cared of. She left us with a dark look towards me and flashes of ravens, the scary monster woman from my dream assaulted me. I had to hold on to my head from the pain and Luke got relly worried when i did so. Me being a horrible liar just told him that i remembered my dreams and the twins, Kali and lastly Ennis. Aiden grinned happily and Ethan happily hugged me when Jennifer was out of sight. Luke wasn't fooled though and asked for the rest of the truth. The pain, the fear of miss Blake made my snappy:
"I'll tell ya the rest of the truth when ya do." I snapped at him. "So, have something to share?"
"No, not until ya remember everythin' hobbit." He told me calmly.
I felt for my snapping and apologized. He just ruffled my hair - that big dufus - and told me to not worry about it. Which made me worry about it during lunch. I mean. What if my amnesia wasn't temporary but permantly? I hated the possibility but the real reason - which made me blush - behind my worry was that i would never remember Deucalion and my first meeting. That beautiful, blind man called to my soul and who had been so kind to me during the hospital. He were the first man that i've ever felt attracted to - that wasn't a celebrity. It wasn't just his looks, it was his personality, the way he talked and the way he smiled. The way he made me feel like he could actually see me for who i am and listened to me, gave me his un-divided attention when i could ramble on about something. Oh sweet father of Nutella - i sound like one of my book heroines!... Which means that i will either get a happy ending with him or one of us will die... And just like that i depressed myself even further - good job Abbie.
Thankfully the guys got me out of my funk when they pointed for me to see Rico walking for us after getting a soda and tripping on someone outstretched leg. He tried to keep balance but fell face down into a plate and when he looked up his face was white with porridge and in his mouth was his apple. It was quite a sight and i laughed hard, so hard that i forgot i sat on a bench and fell backwards to the floor. Oh, dang it!
TIMESKIPPILY-SKIP (Flanders voice.)
Friday, i im going to loooove fridays. I loved them already because i had an hour and a half long recess between math and english. I sat under one of the trees reading Vampire Academy book 3 with my back to the trunk. The sun were shining, the birds chirping and for once it was very calm on the school yard. Until i heard some laughing and looked up just in time to see Rico and Greg holding hands while skipping towards me with dumb smiles on their faces. Luke walked after them holding our cold drinks. I marked my page before closing the book while giggling at the idiots.
Rico crashed down beside me to the left while Greg sat down to my right which left Luke to sit down infront of me on the grass. He handed a Sprite to Greg, Fanta to Rico, Coca Cola to me and he himself opened his can of Cherry Cola. I took a big gulp before sighing in true bliss when the cold beverage traveled down my throat. I stared at my brother, thinking about the crazy days we've had.
"Keep staring and i might do a trick, hobbit." Luke said when he noticed my staring and played with his lip ring and i could feel him rolling his eyes behind the sunglasses he wore. Today everyone had dressed accordingly to the hot weather. Luke wore a Jack Daniels tank top, black military cargo shorts with a studded belt that had chains in silver and per usual his black military boots. On his right arm he wore a studded bracelet and the skull ring on his left finger sparkled in the sun.
"Calmate bro', she is just trying not to look at the muy claiente hombre nearby in order to save her eyes from melting at the pure handsomeness he's been born with."
"Greg?" Luke asked Rico sarcastically.
"No! Me!" Rico pointed out. "Im a hot mess that the señoritas have a hard time to ignore."
"Or is it your modesty?" Luke drawled sarcastically which earned him a laugh from Greg and me. Rico rolled his eyes at my brother before giving him the finger. Rico had his red beanie hat on like always along with his motorcycle gloves and boots. But like Luke he had surrendered to the hot weather - which couldn't still compare to the Texas climate - so he had skipped his leather jacket and wore a Courage the Cowardly hound t-shirt together with dark grey cargo shorts.
"Talking about hot, you should see me in a crown." Greg commented and flipped his hair. Greg as geeky as ever wore his Doctor Who converse, pentagram necklace and ring along with his Supernatural rubber bracelet and his Sherlock t-shirt that said "Im a high functioning sociopath, do your research."
"Moriarty first and Sherlock second, correct?" I asked Greg and he gave me a high five as answer. We both were Sherlock Holm-ics and loved to re-watch and discuss everything that had to do with it along with other geeky but cool stuff like Supernatural, OUAT, Merlin, Misfits, Doctor Who and the list goes on. Unlike the guys i hadn't dressed for the warm weather. I hid my bruised body under my pair of comfiest jeans, tank top with floral sequins, dark purple cardigan. But the worst bruise, the one thing that made tears vell up in my eyes everytime i saw it was the handprint that covered my throat. Viciously black, purple and yellow. I hid it with scarfes, for this friday a white/turcouise one.
"So, which time should we be at Ethan and Aidens place?" Rico asked just when Ethan and Aiden came to sit down on either side of Luke. Ethan wore a black short-sleeved pique shirt, Blue chino shorts and white Nike shoes. Aiden wore a RCKLSS tank top, denim shorts that were a bit trashed and red/black Nike shoes.
"How about sevenish?" Ethan suggested.
"Perfecto!" Rico put his arm around Ethan shoulders, Ethan tensed at first then he seemed to relax and calm himself done when he looked to Rico. I had noticed that the twins didn't like physical contact from new people, especially not sudden ones that they couldn't foresee. Which made me wonder whatever happened to them before coming to Beacon Hills.
TIMESKIPPILY-SKIP (Flanders voice.)
Luke parked his truck besides the vehicle that looked lik a corpse car. We all got out and walked up to the front door. I was just about to knock when;
"Well, i don't think that even the big, bad wolf could blow this cabin down." Greg joked.
"No, he lives inside of it - ya forget to add blind by the way." I told Gregg absentmindly which earned me a look of confusion from Ed, Edd and Eddy.
"Qué?" They all said at the same time.
"I honestly don't know where that came from..." I told them wearily.
"Maybe you're starting to get your memories from the three lost days, where you actually knew him." Greg suggested logically.
"Possibly." I agreed and without looking started to knock the door. It felt soft and rumbled against my hand. "Why is the door rumbling?" I asked them with a gulp.
"Well, first time i've ever had this time of greeting." My cheeks turned red and i looked to my left hand which rested against a - plum colored - shirt covered chest. My eyes went up and i looked into a pair of aviators. Of course, i have to start the evening with embarassing myself.
"G-g-good evening." I stammered out and my limbs froze. What should i do? Run the other way? No, i would slip and break my nose. Or get lost. Take away my hand and pretend it never happened? It would have worked if there wasn't witnesses - i still have time. I wonder if i hit them heard enough with a fry pan will they forget it perhaps. I can't do it - they would lose the few brain cells they have. Lost in my thoughts the guys had walked past me.
"Care to join us or do want to remain this way? I don't mind." I blushed at Deucalions words and let my hand fall with my eyes towards the ground.
"I-i-im so sorry..." I mumbled and walked carefully past him. With a chuckle he closed the door behind me and i too'ed my boots of by the door where i saw the rest of their shoes.
"None of that." He gently took hold of my chin and made me look up at him. He had a smirk on his face which made my stomach feel funny and my mouth lost it's ability to form sentences. He didn't say anything, just looked into my eyes and adjusted my glasses for me.
"Thank ya..." I whispered, scared to ruin whatever this atmosphere was.
"You're welcome dear." He grinned and smiled shyly back.
"ABBIE! ARE YOU COMING OR NOT!?" Just like that the atmosphere was killed by a mexican fool that would get his punishment in Black Ops 2. Say hello to my grenade launcher hombre. A weird rumbling sound that reminded me of growling made me look around looking for the source of it until my eyes rested on Deucalions lips that had turned into a - disapointed? - line. Could it be that he wanted to shoot a grenade up Ricos ass too? Lovely man.
"Well, i should get back to my study." He smirked at me, bowed his head a little and walked away down the hallway to his study i supposed. With a disappointed sigh i walked up the stairs, right before me was a big tv:room and on both sides hallways with doors.
I walked into the tv room with the glasswall so that you could look out at the lake. There shelves filled with books on the wall behind me on each side of the doorway which leads the hallway and the stairs. On the right side of me there were bookshelves and in the middle of it a in-built cabinet with different alcoholic beverages and special glasses for them. And before me there were two couches on each side of a armchair. Between them all were a coffe table and before it a big, screen tv with inbuilt shelfs for game controllers, game consoles, games, movies, DVD and tv box. They had already turned on Black Ops 2 and i sat down beside Ethan.
"Rico, are you playing this round?" I asked him with a sweet smile.
"Si." He grinned and Ethan handed me a controller. I, Rico, Aiden and Luke were taking the first round.
"Oh goodie." I chuckled evily.
"Abbie, don't cry if you lose." Aiden teased me and Luke shared my smile.
"I'll try." I snickered.
TEN-MINUTELY-MINUTES LATER (Flanders voice.)
Rico had killed five people, Aiden seven, Luke twelve and i twenty six.
"Well, im not cryin'." I told them while Greg and Ethan laughed their asses of.
"I told ya she was good." Luke told them with a shrug.
"How?" Aiden asked me in awe while Rico pointed a scared finger at me.
"How can someone so bonita be so cruel?... Tu eres el Diablo!" He whispered horrified at me.
"Sooo... Anyone up for round two?" Rico and Aiden immediately layed their controllers on the coffee table. "No? Ya silly gooses."
