The attack
Exactly a minute after my phone call with grandma Olena ended I got the notification that Kylie was online. Instantly she started talking to me. "Hey girly, are you alright? We miss you like crazy. Jake already found a new girl to harass. Poor Janine is his newest catch. Me and Lillian are very nosy but I don't think she will last till the first schoolparty." Kylie kept talking about everything what happened in school. But even with the music and her talking to me, I still had that creepy feeling that someone or something was watching me. When I turned my head towards my window I saw those shadows shooting away again. I gently shook my head. Did I see that shadow in my window or did I see it in my mirror. Next to my window I had a big ancient mirror that grandma Olena gave me when I was very little. She told me to always have it at the biggest wall of my room. So that I could look in it and see my whole room from every corner. I shook my head again and looked through my window. I knew I was very talkative to Kylie. "Rose? Rose are you still here?" she yelled when she shook me out of my trance. She scared me a bit. "Yes babe, I am still here", I told her while turning my head towards the computer screen again. I got some cold shivers so I pulled my robe a bit higher and tucked my feet under my butt.
"Oh good god girl, I thought something happened again. Anyways enough about me and school", Kylie told me. "Tell me, Tell me. How is Montana. You got to tell me about the cute boys and everything what happened to you. Did you make any new friends or met any cute boys. You got to tell me Rose!" I shook my head again with a small smile on my face. Kylie was always very direct in interrogating me. I told her about my first day and about the encounter with Jesse and how I got saved by Chris and Lissa. Kylie was rolling over the floor from laughter. "Rose, I knew you were a klutz. But headbutting someone to the floor was something I couldn't imagine you doing. I have to tell Lillian about this", she said when she started laughing again. I couldn't help myself and laughed with her. After we stopped laughing I told her about Lissa and how crazy this little girl was. I also told her about Eddie and Mia, the perfect couple and in the end I told her about Dimitri and Adrian. "Sjeeez Rose, I think you have finally found a bunch of cool friends. I didn't think you would replace us this soon", she said with a small giggle. "I'm really curious how Dimitri and Adrian look like. You will probably have to choose between them or so many other boys. All the boys will probably go after you like here in Detroit. Or am I wrong?", she said. I swallowed loudly. "Uhm Kylie… I think you have to sit down in your chair, because you will be shocked with what I am going to tell you now." And I started telling her about Tasha and how jealous she was after I redid my final on the balancebeam. How she put up pictures of me in one of the dancing competions. I told her how it hurt me and how I ran away into the forest and got lost. What I didn't tell her that I was rendered unconscious and what I felt, heard and how my water was whirling around in my glass everytime I touched it. I didn't even know what was happening myself. I heard Kylie gasp and I heard her clapping her hand in front of her mouth. "Kylie? What's going on?", I asked her. She started stuttering. "I… I… I don't know what I have to say about this. I knew people can be jealous but this goes to the extreme side. I never thought people could be this viscious when I came to jealousy. I am happy that nothing happened to you in the forest. But… Ah never mind" she said. Huh, I was wondering what happened here. But I know that I should never push her to tell me something.
"Anyways girly, the reasons I wanted to chat to you is about boys. And the number one reason is that I miss you guys like crazy, but I also need your help. I told you about Dimitri and Adrian right?" I heard Kylie softly say yes. "Well, I am not sure who I like the most. Dimitri is very quiet, but also very sweet and caring and well Adrian is a stud and he already asked my out for a date", I told her with a small sigh. I just don't know what to do when I have to choose between guys and I secretly hoped she could help me out. I had to ask her. Lillian and her are the only two I trust with my feelings and my life. But Lillian isn't here so I really hoped she would help me out. "I think you should do what you heart tells you to Rose. I know its going to be a tough choice, but I think it will turn out great. But if you don't trust yourself, maybe you should talk to Chris. You do know how protective he is off you right?", she told me. I knew she was right. But how could I trust my own feeling. I continuously have the feeling I'm being watched, everywhere I look I see shadows shooting away and my water whirls around like a maelstrom in my glass. I told Kylie I would think about it. I heard a door slam shut downstairs. "Chris will be in my room any minute girly, so I got to scram. I will text and mail you soon!", I said while shouting goodbye to Kylie.
When my computer was busy with shutting down I heard another door slam shut. But this time it was a door somewhere in my hallway. I walked to the door and looked into the hallway. I didn't see anyone. "Chris! Is that you?", I yelled down the stairs. But no one answered me. I turned around and got that awful creepy feeling again. But this time I felt that it was really close to me. The person or thing that is or was watching me was somewhere in the house. I quickly ran into my room and closed the door. When I looked into my mirror I saw a blond boy standing there. He was watching me. His eyes where a deep dark red and they seem to pull me into trance. I couldn't turn my eyes from him. I heard him talking and again I never saw his lips move. "Rose, oh my precious Rose. You can't escape me anymore Rose." Very far away I hear another door slam shut and someone running up the stairs. I heard his voice again. "You will be mine forever Rose. You and I will rule this world together. I want you and your powers. You will go out with Adrain and then I will catch you so we can rule the world." Chris came running in my room and saw me staring at my mirror. When he saw the boy with the red eyes he ran to me and pushed me to the side. He kept his hand in front of his eyes and started yelling. "Don't look in his eyes Rose. Leave her alone! Haven't you hurt her enough already?" When Chris said that I could hear his evil laugh in my head. "I will be back for you Rose and then you will be mine forever!", the boy said before disappearing.
I began blinking profusely. Chris sat down next to me. "Are you ok little on?", He asked me with a worried voice. I shook my head. "What are you talking about Chris and what are you doing here. I thought I weren't coming back till after you rugby practise?" Chris was watching me with creased eyebrows and a worried look. "Don't you know anything what happened just a minute ago?" I couldn't remember anything. The only thing I could remember that I was sleeping and I talked to grandma Olena and Kylie. I heared Chris sighing. A shock rand through me when I heard him talk again without moving his lips. "Damned I was too late. Goddamn, what did he do to her. What lie did he put in her head. Lissa won't be happy that this happened." Chris shook his head and lifted me up from the floor and put me back in my bed. My eyelids were heavy and slowly they slided shut. I was so tired and overwhelmed with everything that happened today and the only thing I could think was that I had to look into these things. But I would do that after I slept some more, and I softly I fell asleep in Chris his arms.
"I'm standing in a beautiful meadow, surrounded by forest. When I looked around I could see various trees, plants and flowers. In and on top of these plants and flowers I could see bees and a lot of other insects busy working their daily chores. Within the forest in could see a lot of deer and several different little creatures running around. On side of the meadow ended in to and beautiful beach. On this beach I saw two girls walking hand in hand. I waved at them, but they didn't see me. I sat down and watched the sun go down. I stood up and walked toward the beach, with a sea breeze in my hair. I just loved the sea and the smell it carries. When I was half way towards the beach I heard someone yelling at me. "Wait for me!" Before I could whirl around to see where the sound came from, two warm arm wrapped around me. While I turned around to look at who was holding me. I came in contact with the most beautiful brown eyes. Eyes so beautiful u could get lost in them. The boy who was holding met had a gentle smile. I couldn't see the rest of his face. Only his deep brown eyes. "Hello beautiful", he says. "Finally I get to meet you." I smiled back at him and gently tried to touch his face, to try to make his face clearer for me. I saw he lips curling up in a very bright smile. He had dimples in his cheek. "I am here to warn you beautiful. I will always wait for you.", he told me. "Soon there will be strange things happening to you and if you don't find out who I am and that we belong together, everything we worked for will be lost. I will wait for you beautiful, don't leave me alone" I looked into his sad eyes and started asking him who he was, when…"
I jumped from a very hard bang outside. It look just like a bomb exploded. I heared Chris screaming that they had to leave me alone. I tried to get up cause I need to tell him I am here and I wont be leaving him soon. But again I got very dizzy, fell to the floor with a loud thud and hit my head on my dresser. I still could hear Chris screaming, but I couldn't understand what he was saying. Everything was whirling around me. I crawled to my door and started calling for Chris. I felt blood dripping on the side of my face. I must have opened the wound when I fell down. With tears in my eyes I crawled to the top of the stairs and started yelling for Chris. "Chris! Help me please. Get inside I need you", I whined. Because I was I so much pain I couldn't stand up and walk down the stairs to get him. My head was hurting like a ticking time bomb. I heard Christ in my head again. "Leave us alone. She doesn't even know what she is and you can't have her powers. She doesn't belong to you! She belong to someone that will love and cherish her and not someone that will use her to rule the world. She doesn't belong to you!" All I could think of how I could help Chris without getting hurt more. Suddenly Chris stopped screaming. It was like he could hear my thoughts. "Rose don't come here they will hurt you.", he said. But Chris was in trouble, I heard him cry out loud from the pain it or they were inflicting to him. "Rose… Please keep yourself safe.", he said with his last breath. Nooooo, I can't loose him. My head was hurting so much I couldn't concentrate on anything. Suddenly a small current ran over my spine and I felt like I was spewing water like a geyser. I went hot and the cold again. I heard Chris catch his breath before I crashed into oblivion.
When I woke up I looked straight in Chris his worried eyes. I was lying on my bed with a cool, wet cloth on my head. I lifted my hand to touch Chris his face. "Whats wrong Chris? Why are there tears in your eyes?" I whispered to him. He looked at me and shook his head. He pulled me up and grabbed hold of me. "Nothing is wrong little one. You were having a bad dream. When I came home you were screaming and yelling and you managed to tangle yourself completely in you bed sheets." I didn't know what I heard. Did he just tell me that this all was a bad dream? I looked around and couldn't even believe myself what happened. Maybe it was only a dream. I'm just a simple girl. Shades and powers don't even exist or do they? Anyway tomorrow will be a new day. Chris had put me down on my pillow again and was walking to the door. He told me Lissa and Dimitri would be coming by tonight. He also said that Adrain had called him to see how I was doing.
Shoot I almost forgot to send a text back to him. But I don't know what I should do. Would I wait for Dimitri to ask me out and leave Adrain alone or should I go out with Adrain and see what happens? I have to think about this, I thought to myself. Boys are such a tricky subject to me. Jake was my very first boyfriend and we all know how that ended. That's also the biggest reason why I'm not specialized in relationships. Maybe I should ask Chris for his help. I tried to get up, but I didn't have the strength to get up and I let myself crash back into my pillows. What's happening to me? Why am I such a weakling. Tears were softly running over my cheeks when I figured it out. I had to show Chris I wasn't a weakling. I had to make my own decisions and I had to be strong for him. I quickly dried my tears and grabbed my phone to text Adrian.
"Hey Adrain,
Sorry for not texting you earlier today. But you question actually made me think and I might have grabbed a quick nap in between. I would love to go out with you, but maybe it would be a good idea not to tell Chris about our date. You know how protective he is.
Kiss Rose"
I scanned over the text message and giggled softly. This has got to be the biggest secret I have ever kept from Chris apart from Jake. Chris is to protective of me and should start to live my own life. Again that creepy feeling was around me. When I looked around my room I saw 2 shadows shoot away again. But I couldn't car less. I was so tired and I couldn't think of unimportant things like shadows anymore. I closed my eyes and felt my self drift into a dreamless sleep.
