Chapter 11

As soon as we got to Vee's house, rain started hammering down on our cars.

"damn, rain!" Vee shouted as we both made our way from our cars to her house.

"come on let's go listen to music" Vee said breathlessly (from running in the rain.)

"ok" I said following her down to her room. (it's in the basement.)

Listening for about an hour and a half allowed me to get my head straight, I figured out about what to do with Patch, if it's possible my plan should work, I worked out how to shake Elliot off because he wasn't my type of guy and it's better for him.

"well, I guess I should be going home now" I said, grabbing my bag and started up the stairs when Vee called, "be careful on your way home."

"ok" I called back as I reached the top of the stairs.

The rain has calmed down a bit compared to earlier. I got into my car and started to drive out of Vee's driveway and down the street.

"right my plan to get Patch away from me is that I try to repel him while on our date, nothing intimate" I said to myself in the car as I stopped at a traffic light. I waited as the light went from red to amber/ yellow to green and I started driving, until I hit someone.

"chisel" I gasped after stopping the car.

this man was dressed all in black, with a ski mask, this was defiantly suspicious. the mask man got to his feet and punched through the driver side window and started tearing the driver door off.

"screw this!" I shrieked as his hand clamped onto my arm and I dove as fast as could to my driveway.

during the drive through town the man finally let go of my arm.

when I got back to my house the bottom floor lights were on.

"oh god" I whispered, stared out my front windscreen for about five minutes until I figured Luke was due back today.

"let's get this over with" I sighed, fighting my way through the broken door.

"Luke!" I called as I walked up the porch steps, "you here!"

"Nora!" yelled a blond man who came running out of the kitchen, scooped me up in his arms into a massive bear hug, my feet never touched the ground during this, "Nora, I'm home!"

"seriously how can we be related your like a massive child" I laughed at my enthusiastic and loveable brother.

"how have you been?, what's been going on?..." he asked so many questions in a minute, as we made our way into the kitchen where food was cooking on the stove, it seemed like chicken curry.

"well, alot has happened and well, I guess I'm destined to die soon" I said in low spirits with my plan for tomorrow night.

"why?, who's going to kill you?" Luke suddenly got extremely serious.

"I don't know who they are but Harrison" I coughed, "'father' said that if I fall in love with my biology partner, Patch then some angels are going to come and kill me" I explained in one breath, breathing heavily while Luke absorbed this information.

"ok, well I'll have words with Dad about this when I see him tomorrow night."

"your going out tomorrow night?" I asked as we sat down to chicken curry.

"yeah, I have to report what happened on my trip to the big boss man."

"ok, I'm going out too" I said watching his reaction.

"oh, Suzu and Ren are dragging you out again."

"ah, no, I ain't talking to Ren because he's a jerk and Suzu is out with Jack" I explained carefully, "it's a date."

"with who?" Luke asked, "not that Patch character."

"well, yeah, I'm going to try repelling him away from me."

"I don't think you should go, I'm not saying just because I'm your brother but I'm also saying this because I want to protect you."

"I know, but he even agreed to leave me alone if I beat him at a pool game" I said finishing my dinner and running up to my room.

The next day just flew by with homework and random day dreaming.

Luke left the house at 5 o'clock after he agreed to keep my date a secret.

When the clock stroke 6.30 I decided it was time to get ready so I walked up stairs to my room to look in my wardrobe for a outfit.

I decided to go with loose blue jeans, wedge heeled shoes, a flared out blue dress top and a jean jacket.I kept my make up minimal, thin eye liner, little mascara and a little lip gloss, why I was hoping to be kissed again was beyond me. my hair was down and scruffy in a cool kind of way.

I was ready by the time there was a knock on the door. or

"I'm coming" I called as I made my way to the front door, I was expecting Patch to be standing there in a cool posture but instead I got Elliot standing there swaying, his clothes all scruffy.

"Nora you look lovely" Elliot said leaning into me and I realized that he was drunk. "listen" he slurred, "me, Vee and Jules are going camping, you're coming too" he ordered.

"ok, first your drunk and there's no way I'm going camping with you and second you can't order me around, so go home and sober up" I said about to close the door. Elliot put his foot in the way so I couldn't close my door and my cell phone started ringing the ring tone I set for just Patch.

"go home!" I yelled, but Elliot wouldn't listen, he shoved me so I flew back and crashed into the sideboard my ringing phone was on.

"Nora!" came Patch's voice from the phone which seemed to be on loud speaker on the floor, I didn't bother answering since I was busy trying to get Elliot away.

"just go home and sober up!" I yelled at Elliot who was walking towards me.

"not until you've agreed to come camping" Elliot said as he walked past my phone (gladly without stepping on it); which seemed to have either disconnected the call or Patch was listening while driving here because there was some sort of noise coming from the other end.

"I can't anyway I have plans, ok?" I said, my vision going black around the edges and slowly covering every bit of the picture in front of me, "now get out" I threatened my voice going all supernatural.

"Nora, your eyes they've turned crimson red!" Elliot said, sounding panicky but then said, "how'd you do that!" in a bored voice.

suddenly the house began to shake and shadows came out of the cracks of the walls and floorboards. they started stretching past me and heading towards Elliot.

"ok, I'm leaving just stop this, please!" Elliot sobbed sounding extremely scared and I calmed myself and everything went back to normal, except my knees gave out and I was on them on the floor.

"just go" I said and the suddenly sober boy ran as fast as he could to his car and left.

I just sat there blankly for what seemed like hours but were only a few minutes until Patch arrived at my house.
