That morning I woke up really early. I wanted to skip the 'I love you, 'becareful.' 'Call me if you need me.' talk. It was around 6:30 and if you know the Winchesters, they don't get up that early, only Sam does. He's a little weird. I love him though. I was loading my car and a silver car pulled up behind me. 'Oh shit!' I thought. It was Tyler. He came out of his car and walked toward me.
"Where are you going?" he asked me.
"Smallville." I told him. He crossed his arms.
"Are you serious?" He asked me. I nodded my head.
"Why are you here this early in the morning?" He was still in shock. I nudged him a little.
"Tyler?" He still didn't move.
"Are you going to see Marcus?" He asked me. Okay, now I was a little freaked out. How did he know about Marcus? Marcus was dead. What was he talking about?
"What?" I asked him while closing the trunk.
"I'm not letting you go on this hunt alone." Oh my god, he was a hunter to. That explained everything. He beileved in the journal that grandpa had wrote. He saw it, when we were doing our prodject. The fire, it explained that to. If he new that I was a hunter why did he tell me about his parents? He must have been wanting to hint to me.
"Your a hunter?!" I asked.
"Laura, my parents died in a fire, my uncle is over obsessive, and I've been dropping hints on you for like ever, hunters are supposed to be smart, figgure out the clues." I paused for a seconed, did he just call me stupid?
"Did you just call me stupid?" I asked him.
"Know, I was testing you, you failed, and now I'm going on this hunt with you. So I'm loading my clothes into your car, open the trunk." What was happening here?
"You can't come with me Tyler."
"Why?" he asked me.
"Because, your car is going to be infront of my house, and my dads not that stupid, he's going to know that you came with me."
"I forgot you were realated to the Winchesters." What? He's like changed. It's like he's known me for a long time. Even though it's different, it's still a little sexy.
"Tyler, how much do you know about me?" He shrugged.
"Phsss! You grandfather is like a hunting legened, he used to know my aunt Ellen." Who the hell was Ellen?
"Just, you can come with me, but were not sleeping together got it?" He nodded his head.
"We can buy to beds, but I'm not leaving you alone in a room. This job is dangerous and you know it." I rolled my eyes, men could be so overprotective. We drove in our same cars until we got into Smallville. We then found a hotel near by the school and got one room. I was pissed off about that, but, I wasn't. I wanted him to stay, but my dad was just driving me crazy, what if I had happened to run into Aunt Chloe? That wasn't good at all. I wasn't going to tell my dad that Tyler was a hunter. He wouldn't like that. I don't know why, but for some reason, I just new that he wouldn't.
"So, you new this guy?" Tyler asked me while taking off his shoes and placing them infront of the bed.
"How do you know?" I asked him.
"I didn't I was just asking if you new him."
"oh." I said. I didn't want to tell him that he asked me out, but dad said that when your hunting with a partner, you have to tell your partner everything you know so that you won't get hurt.
"I new him, he asked me out for a dance." Tyler seemed a little pissed off, but I had to give him credit, he hid it well.
"Did you know a Hannah Stewert?" I paused at that name.
"Why?" Tyler rolled his eyes.
"Are you serious, Laura, if were going to work together you have to tell me everything." I hung my head down. This was going to be really emotional for me.
"I new her, she was a good friend of mines." I lied a little.I just felt bad for her.
"She's dead Laura, if she was a friend of yours, you could be next." What?! He seemed so serious about hunting. It was kind of starting to scare me.
"Who else is on that list you came up with?" He flipped through the pages.
"A boy named Matt, Hannah of course, Lucas, Kristina, Nathan, Haley, Brooke, and another guy I can't read his name." Sodeep, I new that guy. He was indian. Tears started to roll down my eyes when I heared those names. Matt and I dated, Lucas was with Brooke, Kristina was with Nathan and SoDeep was with Haley. I didn't consider us to be a bad 'clique' we wer the jocks and cheerleaders, its what we did.
"Laura, are you okay?" He asked me. I shook my head no. He came up to me and hugged me. I told you this was going to be really emotional for me. These people were my friends. At that momment, I was glad that Tyler was with me.
"Matt was my boyfriend, Lucas was with Brooke, Nathan was with Kristina and Haley and Sodeep were a couple, we were the clique you know. Now, there all dead." He wipped my tears off my face.
"Was there any other couples?" I shook my head no, I was the only one left on his list.
"I don't think he's going to hurt me." I told Tyler.
"What?" He asked me. "Spirits have patterns, he's not going to brake it."
"Not unless he liked me. He might do something creepy, but I don't think he'll kill me." Tyler didn't really agree with me.
"Ya, or since you left him for Matt, he could be waiting and give you the worst death."
"Wouldn't he give Matt the worst death?" I asked him. He seemed like such an excpert.
"Ya, that could be possible, there's only one way that we can stop him, salt and burn the bones." I new it, so did he.
"Where is he burried?" I asked him. He started to flip through the papers.
"The body wasn't found." He said while sighing. Damn! We had to look for the body.
"DO you know anything else?" I asked him. He shook his head know.
"Okay, well, lets start off at the school, he's killing the people there right?" I asked him. He nodded his head.
"I'll get my coat." He said while pulling it off the rack.
We drove about ten minuets to the school. Since I used to be a student there, I decided to go around and take a look for myself. Sure it took a lot of begging for Tyler to let me go by myself, but eventually he did. I waited for the tardy bell to start my digging. I passed the tourch, and my physics class and then I started to stair at my locker. Marcus and Matt were standing right infront of me arguing.
"Do you want me to stop Laura?!" I heard a voice. I turned around and started to walk towards the spot. Matt disappeared, but Marcus was right infront of me.
"Marcus, I'm sorry-" He stopped me.
"It's a little to late for that isn't it?" I couldn't say anything. His nails started to grow longer and longer, I didn't know why, but they were becomming sharper to. My phone started to ring. It was Tyler.
"Laura are you okay?" He asked me. I started to walk backwords and he started to walk towards me. I didn't say anything. I bumped into the ladies room door and walked straight into it. The wall inside the restroom was comming up closer and closer and I would have know where else to go. My back then hit the wall and Marcus was comming towards me.
"AHHH!" I screamed and dropped the phone. I could hear people gathering behind the restroom door. Then all of a sudden Tyler ran in and shot at Marcus with his gun. IT was filled with rock salt.
"He's gone." Tyler told me. Then looked at the window above me.
"Look, people are gathering outside and any seconed there going to bust though this door so we have to get out that window really fast." We did. It wasn't easy though, we had to climb on top of the toilet and then get to the window. Thank god the toilet was tall enough.
I started to feel a little cold after what happened. I wrapped my arms around myself while Tyler put his arm around me.
"Did you at least find out where he was burried?" He asked me. I had a pretty good idea.
"Under the floorboards near my locker."
"WHy do you think that?" He asked me.
Flashback
Matt POV
"Hey Matt, I heared that Marcus called Laura after the fight yesterday." Lucas told me. I thought I had made it pretty clear that I wanted him to stay away from her.
"How do you know?" I asked Lucas.
"He's been braging about how she talked to him yesterday." I decided that I give this guy something, maybe he would stay away from her then.
"Thanks Luke." I told him while spotting Marcus on the feild. I walked across the field and then tapped his shoulder pad.
"I heared you were talking to my girl last night." I told him.
"No I was-"
"Don't lie to me!" I told him while punching him. He fell to the ground.
"Don't talk to her-" I kicked him really hard in the gut. "Ever-" Then again. "AGAIN!" I slapped his face.
"No!" He told me. He sounded really weak. I then saw Laura running towards me.
"Whats wrong with you!" I asked her. She passed me and went for Marcus.
"Why did you hurt him?" She asked me.
"Because you were talking to him!" I yelled.
"That sounds stupid don't you think?" She asked me.
"I love you and I don't want you flirting with other guys." I told her.
"I didn't talk to him." She told me. Laura wouldn't lie to me. I still thought that what i did was right, so I walked off the field before I could appologize.
End of Flashback.
"I think Matt killed him." I said.
"Why?" Tyler asked me.
"Because, Matt beat him up, I left town and so did Marcus, but then he came back. Maybe some how, he thought we ran away together."
"Did you brake up with him?" Tyler asked me. I nodded my head.
"It doesn't hurt to look tonight." He told me. I was happy about that. Scared a little to. We went back to the hotel and I took a short nap, Tyler was just typing away on the laptop that he had with him. It looked a lot like Uncle Sams. I guess great hunters think a like huh? After about 7 hours he nudged me. I jumped up.
"Ready?" He asked me. I nodded my head while he handed me a gun filled with salt. He had the salt and fire. We walked toward the school and went near my locker. I started to look at the floor boards.
"Look Tyler!" I yelled. He ran over to me.
"These sets of wood have new nails in them, but these are rusted." He took an axe and started to brake the wood. Peice by Peice Marcuses bones started to appear.
"So your back?" I turned around to face Marcus but for some reason I didn't shoot at him. I wanted to hear what he had to say.
"Shoot!" Tyler yelled. I couldn't, I was frozen. He started to grab the salt and poor it all over his body.
"With a new guy to, you must be some slut." Tyler grabbed the fire but it was knocked out of his hands. The the gun started to float toward him. I chased after it, but it made know difference. Tyler was knocked out.
"Laura, I loved you!" He told me. I tried not to listen, but tears strolled down my eyes anyway.
"Come here!" He said while comming toward me. I started to run towards the door.
"Your fingers are so beautiful, I love them." That explained the nails.
"Your nails, there so perfect, there the nails of an angel." Okay, why would a guy be obsesed with someones nails, isn't it supposed to be there breasts or there butt. He started to freak me out. He dropped the matches and started to attack my face. I tried to resist, then I saw tyler crawl toward the matches. I decided to kiss him back, keep him occupied. Tyler was awake thank god. I guess Marcus didn't hurt him to badly. Tyler dropped the matches on his body and he started to crumble in front of me. It was over.
"Don't you dare touch my girl ever again you bitch! And she's not a slut!" That made me feel a lot better. He new it would be on my mind. I smiled. I had completed my first hunt, without a parent, and Marcus was dead- for good. Tyler grabbed my hand and we walked out, we thought that the police would want to know what happened to the body. The smell was so bad, if you were a police you would know that that was a body, no doubt about it. Tyler told me to go home first, he said that he would drop me off but he didn't want my dad to know. I kissed him goodbye and then left the hotel. When I got home it was around three in the morning.
"Two days kiddo, not bad." My dad said while I walked into the kitchen. "You waited for me?" I asked him. He nodded his head.
"I thought I would come looking for you, you didn't answer any of my calls." Oops. I checked my cell phone it read 40 missed calls.
"Sorry dad." I told him. He looked so tired. He still kept a smile on his face though.
"So what happened?" He asked me while pulling the chair out for me. I smiled and then started to tell him everything about it. He seemed very happy that I was okay. But to tell you the truth, I was to. I have to say that I wouldn't have been able to do it without Tyler. Though his skills did scare me, I was happy. I was home and thats all that mattered-- for now.
