YAY! I got chapter 11 done! Go me! Sorry it took so long. I've been really bust lately and haven't had many chances to work on this. I'm writing as fast as I can! Anyway, here you go…
Chapter 11
Chris took me to his room for some privacy. I was still crying.
"Noel? Please tell me what's wrong"
I sniffed. "I can't go back to my foster home."
"Why?"
"SHE'S HELPING HIM!!!"
Chris jumped at my outburst.
"They all have been! The cops! Mrs. Wallace! ALL OF THEM!!!"
He turned white. "Tell me this is a joke…"
"Do I look like I'm joking Chris?"
"What exactly happened, Noel? How did you find this out?"
I told him as quickly as I could. When I finished, he was back to being in total shock.
"Holy hell…"
I flung my arms back around him and cried some more. He stroked my hair.
"Please don't cry. We'll find a way out of this."
I calmed down a little. "But what do I do now? I have nowhere to go without either getting my friends in trouble or getting caught!"
"You can stay here."
"How! He knows who you are! HE'LL KILL YOU!!!"
He snorted. "I'd like to see him try. I'll kick any ones ass who tries to take you from me."
I leaned into him and he continued to hold me.
"I don't think your mom would let me."
"I'll try to think of something."
We stayed like that for what seemed like forever.
After a while, him mother knocked on the door.
"Noel? It's getting late. When should you start heading home?"
I froze.
"Actually, mom, I need to talk to you in private."
She raised her eyebrows.
"Alright, Chris."
As he left, he winked at me. I turned red.
When the door closed, I sighed and flung back onto his bed.
God… if your there, please give me the strength to get through this. Please. Don't let any of my friends get hurt helping me.
After my prayer left my head, I fell into a deep sleep.
--------------
I woke up laying in a large, queen size bed with black silk sheets. Looking at myself, I could see a white silk nightgown.
I sighed. "So where are you TODAY!?" I just entered the dream and already I was pissed off.
I heard a chuckle. "I'm everywhere you are, love."
"Whatever. Am I ever going to get a decent nights sleep!?"
"I would be happy to let you have a nice dream. Just tell me where you are."
I sighed again and slid off the bed. "I believe you can tell me that. By the way, your locations for these things are pretty boring."
He chuckled again. "I believe I need to rephrase my question. Where are you currently? And I would also like to know how you knew I was coming that night to retrieve you."
"Well that last one is easy. Mrs. Wallace's phones don't exactly have private lines."
"Ah! I thought that might be it. So would you mind answering my second question?"
"Actually, I would."
His growl sounded very much like a wolf. "You better be careful. You might just find out how much my temper can get the best of me."
I snorted. "Whatever you say, DRACULA!"
He growled louder and I suddenly felt his arms around me. I found it hard to breath.
"My name isn't DRACULA, just so you know. And I'm going to repeat that last question one last time… WHERE ARE YOU!?"
His question rang loud in my ears.
I took a deep breath and hoped this would work again.
I threw my head back and yelled. "CHRIS!"
He chuckled. "I don't think that's going to work for you anymore."
SHIT! Now what!?
"So? Will you answer my question or will I have to keep you here forever?"
I started to panic.
Damn it. Damn it! DAMN IT!!! Need to stall for time…
"So" I felt him shift slightly behind me. "You said your name wasn't Dracula. What is it?"
He laughed lightly. "Stalling for time, Noel?" I tensed up, waiting for him to explode again. It didn't come. "I suppose I could tell you. It's-"
He was cut off as I felt myself jolt away from him…
The last thing I remember of the dream was his roar of complete anger and rage…
"Noel? Noel! Wake up!"
My shoulders were being shaken roughly.
I opened my eyes to see Chris in a panic.
"About damn time! I've been calling you for about 20 minutes!"
I sat up and looked at his clock. It was morning.
I slept all night?
"You ready for school?"
I looked at him, shocked. "Uhhh… Chris? HOW THE HELL AM I GOING TO SCHOOL?"
He laughed. "Don't worry. I told mom what happened, minus the point that your stalker is a bloodsucker. She called the cops and it turns out that the cop that took you to that lady's house was only a security guard. You were actually just assigned to come here."
I'm surprised that my smile didn't fill my whole face.
He laughed again. "There coming here today to talk to you after school. So everything will be fine."
I hugged him so hard he was thrown against his wall.
--------------
Chris took me to school early so I could talk to everyone before school started.
When we got there, I saw a familiar car in their parking lot. It was Mrs. Wallace's car.
I began to panic. "Chris! That's her car!"
"Relax. She can't touch her. Were going straight to the office to tell them what's going on."
He parked and we got out of the car. When I got around the car, his arm went around me, as if to protect me.
When we reached the front of the building, Mrs. Wallace came charging out of her car.
"NOEL! GET OVER HERE! NOW!"
We stopped and Chris stepped in front of me.
"You will not touch her! Leave now!"
Some kids stopped to see what was happening.
She stopped and turned red. "You better stay out of this or I'll call the police."
Chris smiled at her. "Were already ahead of you. We called them last night. All about your kidnapping plot!"
She took a step back and looked over his shoulder to address me.
"Noel! I only wanted what's best for you!"
Chris laughed out loud. "Hardly! Get out of here, now! The police should be around later! Probably to arrest you!"
She turned white and ran back to her car. Chris smirked and led me into the building. I couldn't help but smile the whole day.
--------------
In first period, I walked in, finding Damien in his seat. I started walking towards him I saw that he was unusually pale today. And he looked angry. VERY angry.
I finally reached his seat. "Damien? You alright?"
He looked up and smiled at me. "Yes. Why wouldn't I be?"
"You look tired and pissed off."
He chuckled. "That's because I am."
"Why? What's wrong"
He opened his mouth to answer but the teacher walked in.
Damien looked back at me. "I'll talk to you later."
I nodded and took my seat.
------------------
After school, all my friends were in there usual spot. I started walking towards them when I saw Damien standing off to the side. He was staring at me. I remembered I was suppose to be talking with him so a changed direction and started walking towards him.
"I'll be there in a minute!" I called to Chris who was waiting with my friends.
"Alright!" he called back.
I finally got thru the crowd of teenagers to Damien.
"Hi!"
He gave me a seductive smile. "Hello. Where can we go to talk?"
I shrugged. "Depends. Why? What's wrong with right here?"
"I would like to keep this private."
"Ok. Lets go around the corner."
It took us a moment but we got there. "Ok. What's wrong?"
"A lot of things. My life is very complicated right now."
I snorted. "Yeah. Mine too."
He laughed. "I guess where in the same boat."
"Yeah I guess so."
I suddenly felt myself be pulled into his arms.
"Uhhh… Damien?"
"Please" He sounded as if he was actually begging. "Just let me hold you for a moment."
A chill went up my spine. There was something I didn't like about his embrace.
"Damien… I need to get back to my friends." And Chris.
"Why? I'm here. No one will hurt you with me here."
Another chill ran up my spine. I tried to move but he wouldn't let me.
"Please, Damien! I need to get home before it gets dark!"
"Why? I'll give you a ride. Besides, the night is beautiful"
"Not when your afraid of the dark…"
I felt his breath right next to my ear.
"But you're so beautiful in the moonlight."
Realization struck me.
Oh… God no…

Well? What do you think? Hope it's still good. Review please!
