Vengeful Love

Chapter 9

It had been a week since she gained back her first memory, and Naomi had moved back into her dorm room with Gabbe. She still didn't know much about her past, or her interactions with the school, but she was in the classes with the Nephilim and Angels, so she was beginning to learn about them. Occasionally she would get something like a flashback regarding the Angels, and their war, but nothing otherwise. She hung out with Daniel, Cam, Gabbe, and Arianne on a regular basis, and even met with Luce several times to try and uncover more memories. Luce had really begun to help Naomi get through the fog in her head.

She still couldn't remember everything, but at least she didn't feel bad about it, and the huge weight seemed to be lifted off her shoulders. It didn't take Naomi long to figure out that Daniel and Luce were a couple, and she always found herself looking at Cam in hope that one day they'd be the same. Once she realized what she was thinking she quickly blushed and dismissed herself from her friends, but she just couldn't stop thinking about it.

Naomi currently sat among her friends at the breakfast table, drinking some tea and eating a raspberry scone. Gabbe was telling a joke and Naomi started laughing, happy she could finally hang out with her friends without having to worry. She looked around for her phone, wanting to text Luce to come to breakfast, but noticed she'd left it in her dorm. "Shoot…I'll be right back guys…Gotta go grab my phone…" she murmured as she stood up and walked back towards the dorm. She got halfway there, still within view of the breakfast terrace when she ran into Danny Dunkle and his sister Jamie. Danny stood in her way and as she tried to go around he stopped her with a grin. "Excuse me…"

"Where you going Naomi?" asked Danny, stepping towards her. Naomi frowned, getting an uneasy vibe from the two siblings. She felt like she knew them from somewhere, and it wasn't somewhere pleasant.

"I have to go get my phone…so can you move please…" Naomi asked softly. Danny put a hand on her arm.

"I'll go with you…I'd like for us to get to know each other better…" said Danny casually.

Naomi was about to decline his offer when she felt herself pulled backwards and wrapped in someone's warm arms. Cam. He was glaring at Danny and Jamie, who saw him and froze. "It's a shame we couldn't get you two expelled…" Cam mused. "Because you just keep making trouble everywhere you go…" Danny and Jamie grumbled to themselves and slunk away slowly, Cam didn't let go of Naomi until they were gone, but she wasn't complaining, she was enjoying his arms around her. "You okay?" asked Cam after a moment.

"Yea…thank you…" she said softly, turning around and giving Cam a hug. "I'm going to go grab my phone now…I'll see you in a few…" she replied. With that Naomi rushed to her door, not wanting to be caught alone again by the Dunkle's.

The time passed quickly, Naomi getting closer and closer with her friends with every passing day. It was getting very close to the yearly summer festival before everyone goes home, and Naomi was beginning to get concerned with meeting her parents again.

The classes for the Nephilim were very interesting to Naomi, and she took notes every class, it was honestly her favorite class at the Academy. She liked watched the students work with their abilities, and she loved listening to Steven and Francesca teach. She was currently sitting in the lodge, class having ended a few moments earlier.

"Come on Naomi…let's go get some lunch before we go to Biology…"called Gabbe with a wave. Naomi nodded and grabbed her notebook, but before she could get out of the room she was stopped by Francesca who was holding a portal phone in her hand.

"You have a phone call…Naomi…" Francesca said softly. "I'm not sure who it is though…" She looked concerned, but Naomi took the phone and held it to her ear.

"Hello? Yes, this is her….Uh-huh….Wh-" Naomi's eyes went wide and she dropped the phone, her knees giving out from beneath her, her mouth gaping open.

"Naomi!" Francesca cried out, kneeling down and grabbing the phone. The other end had already hung up, and when she looked at Naomi, tears were streaming down the girls cheeks, her eyes red and her body shaking. "Naomi, what's going on…"
