Chapter Nine

'What do you want Mandy?' Sam asked as she turned to face the girl she already knew would be standing there.

Mandy's lips were twisted into a fierce scowl and her blue eyes were flashing dangerously, they were icier than usual and perfect for intimidation. Well, they would be on any other girl but Sam. Her forehead was lined and her brows were furrowed and her hair was coming out of its up do. Something had obviously got Mandy in a stress from the looks of her appearance and it looked as if that person was Sam. Even though Mandy was obviously beautiful, but for the stone expression and evil eyes, at that particular moment she couldn't have looked uglier. Jealousy suited no one.

'I want you to leave my man alone you bitch! I've seen you all over him today and trust me I won't stand for it; I'll break your neck like it's a fucking twig if you ever go near him again!'

At first Sam took a step back for the sheer brutality of her words but soon enough she remembered that this girl was not going to intimidate her, and she closed the distance between them.

'Oh, I'm sorry,' Sam said innocently. 'I didn't realise you and Alex were dating! But really he's going after me, I don't want him, you can have him! Let me just say you two suit each other so well!'

Sam's voice got louder.

'You're both pushy, showy, bossy, snobby and manipulative bitches!'

'Excuse me,' Mandy stuttered her mouth open in a comical O.

Obviously the bitch wasn't used to people standing up to her.

'But,' Sam smiled making her voice all innocent and sweet again. 'I just wanted to say that I wasn't after him in any way and that I want no hard feelings between us. You can have Alex and I'll have Cal.'

'What?' Mandy exploded. 'Over my fucking decaying body you'll have him!'

Okay what was with the 'decaying' part.

'Actually the expression is 'over my dead body' you idiot,' Sam said with an air of superiority that was bound to drive any body made.

Which was of course what Sam wanted to do. Why not rattle the birdies cages once in a while?

'You think you're so amazing don't you,' Mandy sneered.

Their was such a look of intense hatred in her eyes that Sam stepped back in surprise but was quickly followed by Mandy. She knew the girl disliked her but she hadn't expected her to hate her already. Obviously she had it bad for Cal and there was nothing to be jealous over, he didn't see anything in Sam, only friendship. Mandy needed to grow up and get out of the jealousy phase because it was really unattractive. Her face was really close and this unnerved Sam just a little bit.

'You think you're so beautiful with your golden hair and soft brown eyes don't you? You think that just because every boy runs after you at this bloody school, that you run the whole fucking kingdom. Well you don't. You think because you smell so good that you can hold everybody within your thrall but you can't Sam.'

She gave a bitter laugh.

'You're so weak it's impossible, I could crush you with the strength of my fucking little finger and don't you forget it.'

Mandy turned to leave but Sam yanked her up do and pulled her down so that she was arched backwards and she was looking up at Sam.

'Oh, weak am I?' Sam snarled.

She could feel Mandy struggling to get up but Sam wasn't done. How dare that bitch call her weak! Well, she would show her just how weak she was. In Mandy's eyes there was real fear after realising that she couldn't get up. Sam couldn't understand it herself, she felt real strength flowing through her veins stronger than she'd ever felt it before. She'd always been strong for a girl but this was something completely different. Sam didn't understand it but she definitely wasn't complaining.

'Crush me with your little finger can you?'

Sam gave a harsh laugh.

'I'd like to see that when you can't even get away now.'

Mandy began using her long nails to claw at Sam's stomach, so she used her free hand to wrap t around Mandy's wrists. Her hand wouldn't even go all the way around, yet Mandy couldn't get her hands through. It was completely frightening but also exciting this new found power, Sam knew she didn't want it to go. Was this what people meant when they said someone was 'power hungry?' Sam completely understood that now, but of course she was longing for power in the actual sense, rather than power over other people, although she was using that power over Mandy right then. Oh well, bitch deserved it.

'Let me go you skank,' Mandy hissed.

'Now you listen to me Mandy,' Sam said with another yank on Mandy's hair.

She knew people were watching but she couldn't say she cared since she wasn't the one getting her ass kicked. Sam saw Winter who was grinning widely and Sam couldn't help but smile at her before putting her ice mask back on and glaring at Mandy.

'I'm not the skank here and I would normally be very offended to be called one, but since it's coming from you I find it very funny.'

'And why's that?'

'Because it's coming from the girl that's probably made out with 200 people and that's only including the girls. With the boys I think we'd be looking at well in the 1000's and I'm not even counting the people out of this school.'

The people listening laughed and Winter was nearly crying with laughter.

'And that's why I find it funny that you called me a skank, when in fact the biggest skank is this room is probably you.'

Their was silence from Mandy.

'And you don't even deny it. Isn't it funny how I got this from just looking at you?'

'Go to hell!' Mandy spat.

'If I did, I'd take you with me since I'm betting that you could offer the Devil some of your 'services' and get us a 'get out of jail free card.''

'Listen; just stay away from Cal, okay!'

Now that was pathetic. She was still trying to be intimidating. Bloody hell, how far away did Cal park the car, Sam wondered.

'You really are pathetic,' Sam said gazing pitifully down at Mandy, 'and so not worth my time.'

With that she dropped Mandy to the floor and went and sat on the couch she'd been on with Dean. She felt the last ounce of the strength she'd had fade and knew that she was back to ordinary strength Sam. She didn't want to fight so much anymore. Mandy had other ideas though. When she stood up her blue eyes were practically glowing and were pretty freaky.

'Alright Mandy might wanna get your eyes fixed love. Those baby blues are enough to scare anybody way.'

'I'm gonna fucking kill you,' Mandy screeched and for the first time Sam actually felt properly alarmed.

'Who's gonna kill who?' Cal asked walking in.

His posture was still tensed and Sam guessed that this meant he was still mad at her. Oh fuck it. Sam definitely didn't want Cal to know that she'd just said to Mandy that she was going after him... But she also betted Mandy didn't want Cal to know she was a jealous little freak with glowing eyes, whatever that was about. Mandy and Sam locked eyes and although they hated each other an unspoken agreement passed between them. They both started laughing their heads off.

'I was just joking around with Sam,' Mandy laughed. 'Were coming up with the best lines in a fight, it was pretty interesting actually.'

'It was,' Sam agreed cheerfully.

'Really,' Cal asked suspiciously. 'Cos you sounded pretty serious to me...'

'Well obviously,' Mandy grinned from ear to ear before bursting into another bout of fake laughter. 'Otherwise it wouldn't have been nearly as fun! Sam said that she was gonna feed me to the rodeo clown!'

Then she started laughing again and so did other people for that matter. That bitch! How dare she give her that lame insult?

Cal turned and looked at her.

'Did you really say that Sam,' he asked, unable to keep the amusement off of his face.

'Oh yeah, I mean, who's not scared of a rodeo clown?'

'Is there even a rodeo clown?'

'Um I don't know, it just sounded good.'

'You think so?'

Now he was actually laughing at her. Awesome.

'Oh whatever, lets go.'

Still shaking with laughter Cal agreed.

'Oh wait!' Sam said as an idea formed.

'What is it Sam?'

'Well,' Sam began in a whisper.

It was a whisper that sounded as if she was trying to be quiet even though she knew Mandy could hear every word.

'I was wondering if you could have a word with Alex for Mandy. She told me that she had a little bit of a crush on him and since he was hanging round me if I could find out if he liked her.'

'You would do that for her?'

The suspicious look was back.

'Well no, I don't want to be around him, which is why your doing it but if he gets with Mandy, he won't be with me so much.'

'Mandy, you like Alex?' He said disbelievingly, looking at Mandy's incredulous face.

'No!' Mandy shouted. 'She's lying.'

'Oh shit!' Sam said, trying to appear guilty, which meant keeping the smug smile off of her face. 'I wasn't supposed to tell anyone that. I'm so sorry Mandy. We better go now Cal, bye Winter.'

With a quick wave she darted out the door and started laughing her head off as she heard Cal say,

'I suppose I could have a word with him.'

Then he walked out and started laughing to.

'What are you laughing at?' Sam asked confused.

Now she was all sobered up because she was confused.

'The fact that she thought I believed you!'

'You didn't?'

'No,' he laughed. 'Mandy would never like Alex, that's the most crazy idea I've ever heard.'

'Well, I thought they were pretty similar actually.'

'Ever heard the saying 'opposites attract?'

'Point taken.'

'What I don't get is how you could have ever used that little saying. If you ever used that in a fight you would be able to run away but only because they were too busy laughing.'

'Hey, I would not run away, I'm not as weak as I may look, which is not saying I look weak. But I can't believe you didn't believe what I said but believed that!'

'Wait, so you didn't say that?'

'No, who the hell says that, c'mon where's your car?'

'It's over there,' he pointed at it.

It was black and looked pretty cool. She betted it was expensive too but to be honest Sam had never been one for cars.

'Do you like it?'

'Umm, yeah, the colours nice and it's big and stuff and I bet it goes really fast...'

'You know nothing about cars do you?'

'Sorry but no.'

She walked round the passenger side and slid in.

'Where do you live?'

She gave him her address and they started driving. Well, he started driving. She liked watching him drive, one hand on the steering wheel, sleeves rolled up so that she could see the muscles in his arms. He was so perfect it was unbelievable. No wonder Mandy wanted him. After a few minutes of peaceful driving, she noticed he'd gone tense again. Something was wrong.

'What's up?' She asked.

'What were you doing with Dean then,' Cal questioned bluntly.

Sam was taken a back.

'What were you doing with Mandy?' She retorted.

'I told you nothing important.'

'I told you just kissing.'

'And I told you to stay away from most people at the party.'

'You told me to stay away from you as well, it seems I don't really take orders that well.'

'I also told you that I probably wouldn't let you stay away from me.'

'Well, then you're not very good at following your own orders, so how can you expect anyone else to?'

'Look I don't want you to do that again Sam, it's dangerous.'

'Cal, I'll do what I want, leave me alone.'

Way for making her feel like a slag. Point to Cal and she hadn't even doe anything.

'Sam, I mean it.'

'So do I, your not my fucking father Cal!'

'No and neither would I want to be.'

And why was that, because she was a pain in the ass, or because he had an un fatherly interest in her? It was probably the first one.

'Well then leave me alone.'

'Sam'-

'Shut up!'

'Sam...'

'Shut up!'

'Sam!'

'I'm not listening!'

'You're so immature; I'm just trying to look out for you!'

He sounded really angry, well so was she.

'Well, I don't need you looking out for me, I can look out for myself!'

Then they were both silent as she looked out of the window. He didn't say a thing but from how hard he was clenching the steering wheel, she knew she'd offended him. Great! After a few minutes of silence, she couldn't take it any more.

'Cal,' she asked tentatively.

Silence.

'Cal? I'm sorry, I really am. I just get really defensive over things like that.'

He still didn't answer her.

'Cal?'

Then she began playfully poking him in the side, lots of times.

'Sam!' He snapped. 'I'm trying to drive.'

'Oh lighten up,' she snapped right back. 'Don't be such a fucking misery guts!'

That earned her a small smile.

'I'm not a misery guts.'

'Then stop acting like one.'

'Alright, I'm not angry any more.'

'Okay.'

There were a couple more minutes of silence. Sam huffed impatiently.

'I'm waiting!'

'For what,' he asked baffled.

'Your apology, duh!'

'Never gonna happen, princess. Ever!'

'Fine,' she grumbled. 'I take mine back!'

'You can't do that.'

'Yes I can.'

'No, you can't.'

Before she could answer they pulled in front of her house. Sam blinked a couple of times.

'What are we doing at my house?' She asked.

'That's where you told me to go!'

'Oh, um, sorry, I'm staying round Vixens house tonight, I forgot.'

He stared at her in amazement, 'how could you forget that?'

'Well, I was having such an amazing time with you, I just did.'

She said the last part a tad defensively.

'Oh Sam, what am I going to do with you?'

'Umm, give me a lift?'

'You'll be paying for petrol!'

'I'll raid my piggy bank.'

They both laughed.

'So do you need directions?'

'No, I'v had to give Ali lifts there plenty of times when he's wrecked his car.'

'Oh, okay, what are we waiting for?'

Cal was looking at her porch.

'What's that,' he asked pointing at a medium sized box on her porch.

It was wrapped in gold paper and so practically glowing in the dark.

'I don't know,' Sam frowned. 'It wasn't there when I left, I'll go look..'

When she got over there she saw the box and to her surprise it had her name on it. She stood their staring at it in wonder. She didn't recognise the writing. She was jolted out of her blank state when Cal shouted:

'C'mon Sam, we haven't got all day. What's the box?'

'It's for me,' she shouted back.

'Well bring it over here then!'

Sam picked up the box and carried it over to the car, using her free hand she pulled open the door and slid in.

'Open it then,' Cal said impatiently.

'Patience is a virtue, young one.'

'I'm not young, I'm eighteen, I'm older than you,' he scowled which made him look quite boyish.

'Uh huh and you sure act it.'

'Open the present.'

'You're such a child.'

Then she picked dup the enveloped stuck on the top.

'That's the card!'

'I always open your card first.'

When Sam opened the envelope and pulled the contents of it out, she froze. She and Cal both shared a look and the shock was reflected in his eyes. There was a picture of her on it but she was asleep in her room. She was lying on her side and her blonde hair was draped across the pillow, her full lips were closed and in a soft pout and her long lashes swept across her fair skin.

'Like sleeping beauty,' Cal muttered in shock.

Sam was too frightened to even tell him to shut up, which was what she would have normally done. This was taken of her in her bed and she'd never seen it before in her life, which meant someone had looked through her window, which she left open; well she'd never do that again. The thought was completely scary, she had a stalker. Oh shit! Sam felt sick and even more so when she turned it over. Scrawled in the same writing as on the envelope were two simple words that made her blood run cold:

You're mine.

'Well,' Cal said. 'I can't wait to see what the present is.'
