No Turn Back

(Keep reviewing because I am loosing inspiration and your Reviews are the only thing keeping me writing)

Marissa slept for most of the day, her limbs lolling off the side of the bed. With all of this going on she needed a moment of sleep. Vivian had gone through some similar thing, but Astrid had made her want to feel crazy, this time it was real..she wanted Marsha to die and it might have been so. Getting up she grabbed her nightgown and put it on. Stifling a yawn she walked to the top of the stairs and heard and saw something that made her blood run cold. The scraggly grey haired and blue eyed Alastar stood there talking to Gabriel and Vivian.

"I came to see Marsha. I know she wanted to follow her own path, but we are getting worried" he said in a kind tone of voice and Marissa found herself standing there frozen to the spot. Gabriel shook his head and Vivian looked at her from the corner of her eye.

"Last we saw she went to the movies with Marissa and the boys" Gabriel said but Marissa was holding her breath feeling her stomach aching. Slowly she waked down the stairs and looked at Alastar. They all turned and looked at her and she tried to not shake and give herself away. Before she could open her mouth though her sisters came up and grabbed her by the arms.

"C'mon Marissa, the Four have a new car and want to show it off. C'mon" Lisa said and Marissa mentally noted how she owed them milkshakes for this. As the adults watched her leave she allowed herself to be shuffled out. Stepping onto the porch she saw the hunk of metal that was sitting in Aunt Persia' s drive way. It looked like a beaten down and dented black corvette that had seen better days. Gregory leaned against it and gave her a wide smile.

"Like it?" he asked and Marissa raised a brow and shook her head. The boys looked aghast at her reaction, as if she offended their semi manliness.

"What? Girl we thought you were cool, but now you hit a all new low" Finn said and William looked like a dog tucking his tail between his legs by his expression. Ulf rolled his eyes and Gregory looked slightly disappointed.

"Well Lucian Defoe had his license taken away so we were given his car. You can tell that he has had a bad run with it, but its ours" Gregory said and ran his fingers through his fair hair and Finn clasped him on the shoulder.

"Yeah I bet she would want you to have a pink Barbie car, right Ken wolf boy? " Finn teased Gregory who tried to shrug his hand off as the others laughed rudely. Marissa shook her head and placed her hands in her pocket.

"I'm going for a walk" she said and turned on her heels as the others snickered. Gregory moved from the car and grabbed her hand lightly.

"Want to go on a drive with me?" he asked and she looked at him and just shook her head.

"How about I walk with you" again he suggested but she sighed.

"I just need some time to think" she replied finally and gave him an apologetic expression and started to walk away. Marissa liked walking at night and felt that she could merge with the darkness. The tree lined side walks were nothing compared to the large trees that were thick with the high grass of the woods. She missed it greatly. Barely making a noise she moved off the side walk and walked up the side of the road. For a half and hour she walked not really caring where she were she was going until she got to what they called "Lovers Lane". Tonight there was only one car, a red corvette that was a lot shinier then the one that the Four have now. It felt like déjà vu or the car seemed somewhat familiar, but she could not place it. Seeing that it was Tiffany and her boyfriend she stopped dead in her tracks. What else could make her day worst then running into Tiffany, whom she hated. The radio was playing in the car but there was no talking. Boy she didn't want to run into them making out. The scent of blood had caught her nose as she took in a deep breath. It was strange and caused her to walk toward the car. Tiffany and her boyfriend were terribly mutilated as if some wild animal had killed him. Fear gripped her seeing this worst then when she fought with Tiffany in the locker room. Another scent caught her attention and she glanced in the back of the hatch back and saw a box. Within were bottled filled with a strong mix of alcohol with cloths shoved in them. It occurred to her that it was Tiffany who had caused the fire, but what was worst is again she would seem like a suspect. This was getting worst and worst for her. Marissa knew she had to get away and find help. Marissa knew she could turn to Vivian, but since she became Gabriel's mate would she still understand that she was innocent. The sound of police cars deftly hit her ears and instead of staying she ran down the more wooded path as fast as her feet could take her.

Feeling tired when she got back she wanted to talk to Vivian, but found that she was out with Gabriel which at the moment wasn't good. Her head was aching as she heard her sisters asking her why she looked at pale as a ghost. Marissa had to find Bucky, he was the only one who can understand, she hoped. Going to his room she knocked on the door before entering. Hearing him calling her in she stepped in he was putting on a shirt and quickly buttoning it up. Really she couldn't help but smile at this, before remembering why she was here.

"Bucky it was Tiffany who burnt our house, but she is dead but I didn't do it. I went for a walk and went up the lane and saw the car. They had gasoline cocktails in the back of their car and they were mauled. I don't know what to do" she said and finally took in a breath. Usually calm Bucky now had a frown on his chiseled face. Hearing the door close downstairs Bucky placed his hands on her shoulders as she felt like she was going to cry.

"Stay here. I am going to speak with Gabriel finally and tell him all that is going on. Don't worry remember I promised I am going to take care of you" he said and walked out. Marissa finally sat down and let her head fall into her hands as the tears started to rise and somewhere a dog was barking.
