New chapter up! Sorry for the wait. Lot of stuff going on in my home. Hope you like it!
Chapter 9
All day, things were the same, minus a few people missing. I was hoping to tell Damien thank you again but he wasn't in school. I notice that girl who 'ran into' me the other day was gone too. After school, I got all my closest friends together to tell them what's going on.
We were all outside in the back of the football field stands.
"Ok" I began. "This is going to sound weird but I could REALLY use everyone's help."
They all nodded. "What's up?" Sara asked.
I took a deep breath. "Well, you could say I have a stalker"
"Who?" Mandy asked.
"Well… I don't know…"
"Then how do you know you have a stalker?"
"Cause he stalked me in my dreams"
They all looked at each other.
"Look! I know this sounds weird but it's true!"
"Ok…" Jessica wasn't exactly convinced but I didn't blame her. "How the hell are you being stalked in your dreams?"
"Because… he's a vampire"
Now they were all staring at me.
I sighed and pulled my hair aside to show the bite mark.
I looked back at them.
Damn. I need a camera. Cause the look on their faces was priceless.
"HOLY HELL!!!" was Sara's comment.
"Now do you believe me?"
They nodded.
"But we still have a problem." Chris said. "We have no clue what he looks like."
I sighed. "I know. I still couldn't get a look at his face."
"Well, how can we help you then?" Mandy asked
"I'm going to try to figure out who it is. Then we need to kill him."
"Like, going after him with silver and all that?"
"Yup!"
They all looked at each other then back at me.
"Were all with you, Noel!" Sara said and jumped to give me a hug.
I Smiled
God I have awesome friends!
We stayed a little later talking but when the sun started to set, we had to start heading home. Chris gave me a ride.
When we pulled up to my foster home, he gazed at the house in awe.
"WOW! There loaded!"
"Yup. I have my own bathroom!"
He glared at me. "Lucky bitch. You better not get use to it. Your not getting all that when we live together."
"I know but I figured I can enjoy it while it lasts."
I leaned over to kiss him goodnight. He pulled back.
"What's wrong? Your upset."
"I'm just worried. I don't want any of my friends hurt but I cant do this alone either."
He grabbed my face and kissed me hard. "Don't worry. We do this cause we love you. No one is going to get hurt either. Ok?"
I nodded and kissed him again.
I got out and walked up to the house and gave him one last wave.
When I walked in the house, I didn't exactly get a friendly welcome like I expected to get. Instead I got Mrs. Wallace standing in front of me with her arms crossed.
"And just where were you, young lady?"
I froze. I didn't exactly expect this.
"Well?"
"Uhhh…. I was hanging out with friends."
"It doesn't take hours to say goodbye to them."
I wasn't saying goodbye to them. I was hanging out with them."
"Not anymore. From now on, you come straight home from school."
"WHAT! WHY!?"
"Because I'm your mother and I said so!"
What the hell is going on!?!?
"You are NOT my mother!"
"I might as well be seeing as I'm the only real mother you'll ever get."
"Hardly! I have someone who is my REAL mother and I'm moving in with them!"
Her arms dropped.
"What?" her voice was weak now.
"You heard me! She's more like a mother to me than anyone else! And guess what? It's my boyfriends mother!"
Her face-hardened. "You really think I'll let you move in with your lover!? Your out of your mind child!"
"Yeah well, when I turn 18 you don't get a say in the matter!"
"I FORBIT IT!!!" She screamed.
She turned and stomped out of the room.
I stood there for a moment dumb struck. What the hell happened to her!?
I quickly ran upstairs to my room. After dropping my book bag on the floor I went in search of a phone. It was on the nightstand. I quickly picked it up and dialed Chris's number.
"Hello?" It was his mother.
"Hello. Is Chris there?"
"Noel? I'm sorry but he ran to the store for me. It there anything you needed?"
"Uhh… Kind of. Chris told you were I was now, right?"
"Yes."
"Well, I thought it was nice at first but I just got home and she started SCREAMING at me!"
"Why?"
"Because I didn't come home straight after school and I told her I was moving in with you after I turn 18."
She was silent for a moment. "Well, unfortunately she had the right, as your current guardian, you give you a curfew but she has no right to yell at you for telling her that."
"I understand that but she told me that she FORBIDS me living with you!"
Another moment of silence. "Do you have the number of the police handling your case?"
"Hold on." I started running my hands thru my coat pockets. "Here it is! The number is 156-4897. Ok?"
"Got it," She said after a moment. "I'll be sure to call them. Ok? Even if they cant get you out of there, you only have a few weeks until you come here. Then she can't legally stop you."
I sighed. "Alright"
"You'll be ok, Noel. Only a few short weeks."
"Thanks, Mrs. Willis."
I hung up and went to lay down in the bed. What happened to Mrs. Wallace?
I heard a knocking on the door and She came in. She still didn't look happy.
Her arms were crossed again.
"So, what am I suppose to do with you?"
"Hmm… How about let me be me and you not complain about it? Sorry, but I hang out with friends and that's that."
"Not anymore. You need to understand that in this house there are rules. From now on, you come straight home and do homework. Then you eat and go to bed."
"Some life…" I mumbled.
"And for tonight's little incident, you can go to bed without dinner."
"That's ok. I'm use to it."
Her lips tightened and she turned and left the room.
I laid back down on the bed and closed my eyes…
Please don't let me dream of him, please don't let me dream of him…I fell asleep.I woke up in the middle of the night again. Coming out of a dream-less sleep. For once. Looking at the clock I saw that it was 2:30. I was wide-awake.
Damn it! I actually wasn't dreaming for once!I sighed.
Maybe Chris was awake. I can call his cell-phone and at least leave a message.
I walked over to the nightstand and picked up the phone.
"Yes sir… I understand"
Mrs. Wallace? On the phone? THIS LATE!?"I tried to make her welcome here, sir. But she stayed out all day with those animals she called friends!"
What!? ANIMALS!? I wasn't planning on listening but now I couldn't resist."I know you warned me about them, sir but she's stubborn. I know she wont listen to me. She still plans to move in with that horrible boy when she's 18!"
My face was turning red. Who the hell dose she think she is!?
I opened my mouth to say something but another voice cut in.
"I told you what she would be like"
My jaw dropped.
It was him!
"She has a strong will. I don't want you to break her but you need to make her want to stay. With her at that…" There was a pause as if he was trying to find the right words.
"Humans house there will be a smaller possibility that she will come to me willingly."
Mrs. Wallace sighed. "Yes sir. I'll try but she's very rebellious. I even sent her to bed without dinner and she doesn't care."
Another pause. "Well…I suggest you get into your kitchen and make my beloved something to eat."
"Master!?"
He cut her off. "AND prepare for my arrival. She always wanted to see me face-to-face. I'll be there to take her tonight."
I almost dropped the phone.
"I thought you wanted to try and make her go willingly?"
"Well, if she's acting the way you say she is, then why try? I'll be there soon"
The phone died.
And it felt like my heart did too.
Hope you like it! New chapter to come soon!
