(Sorry it took so long guys! Sooo much homework, and its Christmas too -.- ((Bah humbug teachers much? :L)) And also I really didn't know how to respond to it! XD)
-Chloe's P.O.V-
Darkness. Insanity. Murder. Death. He's facing it. I will be facing it. That's basically what he's implying. Suddenly I really want one of his cigarettes. I settled for a deep breath instead. "I'll speak to Zoey, We can get you transferred to this house of night, me, Zoey, Stark, Aphrodite, Darius. Everyone here, we can all help you!" His eyebrows were raised and he was shaking his head "Please Alex!" I whispered, too afraid to speak louder
"It's too late for me sis" He whispered back, quieter than me. I had to strain to hear "I don't think you'll see me again, if I do come back I might try to kill you and your friends, I'm sorry, I love you and I miss you, if I end up killing myself you can have my cash and any of my stuff that you want, And if you ever see dark shapes near you, if you ever hear weird whispering in the back of your head, ignore it and tell someone. Fast." He hugged me tightly and then, quickly as he'd appeared he was gone.
This is the first time in years I've wanted to cry, and I almost am. I blink away the unshed tears before anyone can see them. I'm shaking a lot, i close my eyes and sit down on the ground where I am. Now's a good a time as any to see if my snake communication goes outside of Jeckel, I've always found snakes very calming to have around.
Me and Jeckel had figured out we could communicate via thoughts as well as out loud, so I figured I'd try that first. After about a minute I felt something slithering up both of my arms. I opened my eyes and on my left arm there was a grass snake and on my right, milk snake.
"What do you think guys, what should I do?" I closed my eyes as me and the two new snakes talked via mind, knowing that they'd be calming if nothing else.
I went over and over the ideas in my mind with them
-Tom's P.O.V-
I'm going to wear a hole in the carpet if I keep pacing, that's what Anya's telling me. But Jeckel's acting weird, he wants out of the cage I know that much, he knows what Chloe is feeling and whatever it is it's freaking him out. I don't like it. I give up on patience and go outside. Chloe's sat on the ground with a snake on each arm, she's alone.
-Chloe's P.O.V-
I hear footsteps behind me and the snakes tell me it's Tom before they slither off into the grass, He sits down next to me and I shift slightly so that my head is on his shoulder and my arms around his waist, he kisses the top of my head and wraps his arms around me, murmuring nothing in particular into my ear to calm me as I shake.
I lift my head of his shoulder and kiss him on the cheek once I'm all done shaking "Thanks Tomcat" he smiles and gets up off the ground, pulling me with him "So what happened, where did Alex go?" I press my lips together, this is the question I had been dreading "Alex had to leave suddenly" I replied in a whisper. Tom just nods his head and tightens his arm around my waist.
I slept in, Tom's sat on the end of my bed when I wake up, wearing his dark blue jeans and third former jumper. I smile and wave him outside so I can get dressed. I decide on black skinnies, red converses and my usual belt. Leaving my hair down with my usual thick eyeliner and lip gloss combo.
We're outside the door to the classroom when I check my phone, we're two hours late, I'm still the same girl I used to be so I think what the heck and turn to face Tom, "You know what I say Tomcat? Better never than late" I raise an eyebrow, daring him to skive off with me for the day. He smiled at me and dragged me off, back to the dorms "We'll have to cover our marks if we wanna leave campus, which we should, we should probably grab some cash too, and change our tops, split up and I'll meet you back at your dorm" he said, quick at formulating a plan as always. I nodded my head and kissed his cheek before running off back to my dorm.
I pull of my jumper, belt and black t shirt once im in my room, swapping them for a white t shirt with zebras on, the stripes of the zebras various neon colours instead of white. I buckle on a neon pink thin waist belt, not bothering with a jacket because it's a boiling hot day. I slicked on some neon pink lip gloss and grabbed my small red bag from my bedside table, in it I put my mobile, car keys, ipod, purse, teal coloured heart shaped sunglasses, mirror and that special concealer for our marks.
I walk out the door and he's stood there, dark blue jeans, black converses, black sunglasses and a white button down shirt. He kisses my check and smiles; I pull my sunglasses from my bag and slide them on, pulling my car keys out at the same time, putting on a fake pout and miserable tone "I figured we could drive rather than walk, it's been forever since I got to drive my baby and I miss her" Tom laughs loudly and takes my hand as we walk to the car park.
I unlock the doors of my car and slide into the driver seat, when Tom sits on the passenger seat and closes the door behind him I click the button to open the roof up and put down all the windows, I pull out my mirror and we cover up our marks before we speed off into town.
-Saffron's P.O.V-
Tom and Chloe aren't in class, but me and the guys knew they wouldn't be, I had a vision of Chloe being incredibly upset over something so they decide to skip class together, nothing bad happens to them and Zoey doesn't get too mad at them. Zoey keeps glaring over at their empty seats, maybe she knows, if my mother saw it she'd have told her.
Still I can't help but worry, Chloe may be weird but she's quickly become a close friend of mine, don't know what we'd do for entertainment without her around.
-Chloe's P.O.V-
I park the car in the almost full lot and me and Tom jump out eagerly, we walk into the local shop, gathering up everything we need for a nice romantic picnic, including a bottle of blue wicked each. "I know the perfect spot Tomcat" I said as we paid for everything "it's a secluded little beach me and my brother came across one time, no one's ever there" He smiled and laughed "What you waiting for then beautiful, lets go!"
(After walking to their little beach thing xD)
We sprawl out lazily on the sand, pulling things out of the shopping bags and setting them up, sandwiches, crisps, cakes and the like, it looks delicious. We dive in immediately, consuming it all in two hours. I snuggle up to him and wrap my arms around his shoulders; his take their place around my waist, hugging me tightly. He shifts himself to face me and kisses me softly, sliding his hands down to my hips.
I shuffle closer to him and kiss him harder as he picks me up and pulls me onto his lap before moving his hands back to my hips.
I hear a quiet gasp behind me and we stop, It's safe to say I'm more than a little annoyed at being interrupted half way through a make out session, Tom hugs me tighter as I shake a little, shaking more as the mystery person begins to laugh
"Calm down sister, you we're about to suck his face off, and what are you doing bringing a non family member to our secret beach?" Great timing Alex.
