The Next day was a bit more difficult. I couldn't get those words out of my head from teacher.
"My sweet Lily."
I was walking up to the next grocery store to get a few things for Grandma. I blushed from hearing his voice echoing in my head.
I groaned, "why did he have to call me that? I can't get it out of my head. I'm gonna go nuts if this keeps me distracted."
Of course after he said that, I didn't talk to him for the rest of the day. I hope that wasn't mean to do. I dont want to push his feelings away. But day after day
I feel more closer to him. I just wish I know more of his past if he can open up a bit more. What if it's too painful? and his name?
"Bronx..."
I smiled.
"That is a cute name...and he said he used to be a priest...I wonder what happen? Did he do something bad? Or what?"
I slightly pounded my fists on my head.
"Why does he have to be so secretive?"
I feel like I am figuring out a 1000 piece puzzle and I am loosing in the start. I sighed as I got to the store. As I walked in, the store was pretty empty. I raised
my eyebrow, usually this place has alot of people. The Store is Mini-Cart. Its a good store and half of it was a pharmacy and walk in clinic for people that have no
insurance. I'm pretty lucky my wound healed but the scars I don't think they're going anywhere. I walked up to the cashier. The person who was working behind it was
the owner, Mr. Feji, he is an old man soon to be retired. He used to live in Japan but moved here because his daughter moved here with a solider and she got married
in America. I heard she is doing okay, she has a Masters on technology and she has 2 twin girls. Her husband got medically discharge from a major accident in Korea,
Now he is in a wheelchair because he had lost his right leg and loss of arm. But to his daughter she is doing her best for her family. Last time I even talk to her,
she was happy, like she is proud of what she is doing and not even thinking of leaving her husband because I seen alot of military wives leave them for other reasons
of their spouses becoming handicapped for the rest of their lives.
"Hi, Mr. Feji. How are you?"
"Ah, young Lily. How you doing?"
"I am doing okay. I just need to get some things for Grandma, I was wondering have you got any that gum?"
He bend over to pick up a medium size box that was open. He pass a small packet,
"Just got some this morning."
I took it and put it in the hand basket, "Thank you, your a life saver."
If your wondering this kind of gum is no ordinary gum. It's a gum for demons and other creatures around the town. I am guessing I forgot to mention the town over I was
at the other day. Yeah some of those creatures come over here to and this store has stuff to help around. This gum is specifically use to help cravings including mine.
Mr. Feji is no human as well, he is a Demon as well but alot different from me. I know your dying to figure out mine but I don't have much time for that.
I walked over to grabbed the first bag of whole wheat bread and eggs. The second Isle was breakfast, Grandma does love oatmeal but not maple. She thinks maple taste
like a sewer. I chuckled as I remember that first time she tried it. I grabbed a big can of decaf coffee. Grandma used to be addicted to this stuff but after her
stroke she had to switch to decaf. Decaf is YUCK to my taste. After I grabbed the last items which was Grandma's vitamins and her lotion.
I walked over to the cashier. Mr. Feji gave me a smile,
"How is your Grandmother?"
I smiled, "she's doing fine. How come not alot people are shopping today?"
"The Sheriff's daughter was found along with her boyfriend. He was still alive but not alot, the Sheriff put out an alarm. That's why people are staying home."
I gulped. They found them?! How is that possible? Is that Creeper that sloppy? I placed my finger on my chin. Can it be possible or does he want his victims to be
found...I dont like this, I have a bad feeling in my gut.
A man came up behind me and poke his finger on my shoulder.
"Excuse me, ma'am?"
I felt my heart jumped. I turned to look, it was a man, modern, probably 4 years older than me, He was as tall as teacher. He was handsome, bit muscular, red shirt
and black pants, short black hair. This man felt a bit familiar, like I know him, but who is he?!
"y-y-yes?"
He smiled, "well, you are too cute when you stutter like that."
HUH?!
I rasised my eyebrow, "And WHO are you?"
He leaned down to my head, "Don't you reconize me?"
I backed up a bit, I didn't noticed my back hit the cashier's desk. I kindly shook my head.
Mr. Feji said, "Ah, Leech, how are you?"
His name is Leech. WHAT KIND OF NAME IS THAT FOR A PERSON?! Well, could be his last name? my sarcasm peaked, I wonder what his first name is? Long?
His eyes were still on me, my eyes searched him and it hit me! I couldnt believe it...there was a scar under his eye and I remembered the other Creeper, he had the
same scar. I felt my whole gut dropped, I quickly erased that feeling and snarled at him. He backed away and looked at Mr. Feji.
"Just the usual, Feji."
I turned back to Mr. Feji and paid for my items. I was so anxious to leave but it felt it was taking forever. Once Mr. Feji gave me my bags, i grabbed them and
walked out.
How can this be? How did he changed into a human form? Can that even be possible for a Creeper to do that?!
I went through the times of with Teacher and I never seen him turn into a human form. Maybe Teacher don't have that kind of power?
I stopped in the middle of the sidewalk,
"Maybe...can he do that?"
Before I was about to walk across, I felt a hand touch my shoulder, I looked back and saw who it was. Him again or should I say Leech?
"Why are you here?" I asked with anger in my voice.
He chuckled, "aren't you a fiesty one? Are you still mad from last time?"
"Your lucky My teacher isn't here to put that axe back in your face, asshole!"
He kept his smirk, "You rely on your teacher that much? Are you his daughter or something?"
I grab hold of his neck and leaned his face near me, "Listen, Dick-face! ASK me that again, I'll put a scalpel up your groin, you won't be able to mate.
And if you come near me or follow me, I'll give you a lesson that is much worse."
He chuckled and put his hands up, "Who says I was following you?"
I tighten my grip, I can feel him close to choking,
He gasped, "o-kk, Im...sorry."
I knew I was gonna regret this, I let go of his neck and let him have a breather.
"I know your following me, better spill it."
"Your pretty amusing?"
I growled.
"I am serious, little...Lily."
My teeth clenched, "Don't call me Little!"
He chuckled for a few seconds til I heard a noise.
HONK! HONK!
Beatngu!
HONK! HONK!
I saw the Truck came into a haul by the sidewalk. A Sight for sore-eyes! The passenger door open, Teacher looked at Leech as I jumped into the seat. Before I got to
sit, Teacher was almost over me, he leaned out the door, \
"I told you not to come near her again!"
Leech smirked, "Aww, Daddy issues huh? Can she come out for a little fun tonight?"
I flinched at that question, Teacher snarled.
"She is Mine!"
He slammed the door on Leech, I couldn't believe my ears. I am HIS?! I felt my body went numb and flustered.
Teacher got into the Driver seat and step onto the gas. I was in the "I can't believe it" trance. I sat down normally on the seat and looked at him.
"Nice going, Romeo."
He looked at me and smirked, "If I didn't tell him, he can still come after you."
I gulped at that. For a few minutes of silence, I looked over to him again as he put on his hat.
"Y-y-you won't let that happen, would you?"
He looked at me, without a surprise, he grabbed my hand and kissed my knuckles.
"Over my dead corpse. Besides your too cute when you stutter like that."
I gulped and flushed. He kissed my hand. I was surprised his kiss was gentle but I felt like I was gonna pass out like fan girls going overload. He let go of my hand.
"Will their be class today?"
"No, It's not safe going out today. I already let Johnathan and Nikki know class will be cancelled for 3 days."
"3 DAYS?!"
"I have to keep eye on that other creeper and I have to be careful of the police. The Country road is still under investigation and might come down there, I cant risk
it if they find the church."
Oh great...3 days of being in the house. I will die!
"Teacher, can I ask you something?"
He nodded.
"Can you change like-"
"No."
"Just asking. But if I do this, can you do something for me?"
He hauled the truck under a huge tree in the shadows. I didn't realize we got into a field.
"I thought you said it bad to be out here."
Teacher went to the back of the Truck and he was pacing to each weapon.
"We'll be only be here for 10 minutes. I just want to make sure he didn't follow us."
I got out of the seat and placed my bags on the floor.
"Do you think he would follow us?"
Teacher blinked at me and I can tell from his expression, he would.
"Is there like something that can lead him off?"
"Not unless...ya know."
I gulped and crossed my legs with my head shaking.
"I am not ready for that."
Teacher chuckled, "I know."
"Why does have to involve me? Why can't he go after Nikki?"
My eyes widen, I should've not said that. That was rude.
"Is there another way?"
I placed his finger near his fangs and pointed at my neck.
"You mean bite me?"
"It will keep my scent on you but dont think of that way."
"I thought you only do that if...you mate."
"All humans and demons think alike this when it comes to that?"
I shrugged my shoulders, I always thought the male bites the female to claim them as they're mate. But then again, I don't know much about the ritual on that with
Creepers.
I sighed, I don't have much of a choice. I can't face Leech again. If it does work, I dont have to worry so much of Teacher worrying about me.
"Well, one thing you didn't answer my question earlier."
"The favor one?"
I nodded.
He sighed, "Okay what is it?"
"If I stay home for 3 days...can you please be safe?"
About a moment of silence went by, he walked up towards me as I walked to feel my back hit the side of the truck. He put his hands at each side, leaning against the
truck with his devilish smile.
"What do I get for return if I keep the favor?"
I felt my body flustered again, I can hear my heart thumping in my neck. I gulped.
"I'll clean up the place every morning and Give Beatngu a good tune up on her weaponry.
HONK! HONK!
I looked over to the steering wheel, "Hey, you need one, Ya know!"
Teacher chuckled as he repostion my head to look at him again.
"What can you give me?"
My heart was beating so fast. I don't think this is the right time to tell him. I moved my hair away and nudge my neck over.
"Do it."
Teacher was surprised.
"You sure?"
I nodded.
