HMMMM Car....no Car...

Once again sorry bout the delay had open gyms and was so busy... here we go.

"Luke..." Sophia started then stopped.
"Why say no when saying yes is so much easier?" Luke questioned.

After thinking a moment she decided two things... one school was way far away to have to walk and...two, if she got in she might get a chance to slyly ask about last night and the note which was still in her pocket.

"Luke, if I get in the car I need to ask you some questions and I need you to answers only those questions, honestly and nothing else.."Sophia finished in a rush almost hoping he'd say no.

Sophia watched as Luke contemplated what she had just said..

"Sure Sophia whatever you want to know." Luke said with a smile that allowed her to see something lurking behind his eyes.

So Sophia got into the car, hesitantly, but she got in none the less (couldn't help myself...I'm rooting for them..)

"Okay Luke time to talk... did you follow me and Paul after the movie?" Sophia asked getting entirely too comfortable in his car...encompassed by his scent.

"I follow you every night.."Luke said grinning as he shifted gears.

"Stop the car... I asked you to be honest and you're laughing." Sophia demanded grabbing at the door handle.

"Sophia, don't..." Luke said as he leaned across and grabbed her hand, "NO, I didn't follow you though from the look in your eyes maybe I should have.."

Sophia sat back and her seat pondering over who could have possibly followed her and Paul if it wasn't luke then who.... Surely he wouldn't send one of his lackeys... would he?

"Sophia, look at me... did something happen....did he try something?" Luke interrogated all the while growing angrier and his eyes glowing golden.

"No, no nothing happened." Sophia said absentmindedly as she left the car because they had arrived at school.

(Later that day)

"Sophia Donner, report to the office, Sophia Donner, to the office." The voice over the intercom said. As Sophia slowly rose from her seat in Math class looks were exchanged among students.... Sophia Donner called to the office... surely she wasn't in trouble...not Sophia.

As Sophia entered the office she saw Luke up there, obviously in trouble again... though no doubt his mother would get him out of it.

The principal came out and said "Miss Donner you may go in now... you have a visitor."

Sophia walked into his office puzzled, a "visitor"..... before the door closed she caught Luke's gaze and they shared a "look."

"Ahh, Miss Donner, please sit down" said the middle aged woman behind the principals desk.

"Excuse me miss, not to be rude, but who are you and what do you have to do with me?" Sophia said it and immediately regretted it.

"Now if you would just sit down and talk with me I'm sure we can clear everything up." the woman said exuding confidence.

After twenty minutes of discussing the weather, her academics, her social activities, and how her family was Sophia finally grew tired of the tedium.

"Ma'am, we've been talking for a while and I still don't have a clue why you're here." Sophia interrupted.

"Oh, hunny, I'm Paul's mother and by now I'm sure you've been told how the two of you are 'connected'". She said.

"wait, 'connected' what on earth do you mean??" Sophia stuttered.

For the first time in the whole conversation the woman looked rattled... not astonished.... No disappointed... heck Sophia doesn't know what to think.

"Sophia, there's a lot to discuss... if you let me simply call Paul in here...." the woman never finished her sentence or if she did Sophia didn't hear her because she had ran out and was determined to find Paul and figure out what was going on. .

As she wandered the halls she was too busy worrying about finding Paul that she didn't know what was coming when Presley shoved her into a wall.

"Pain, oh god it hurts.." was all Sophia could think as the emerald on the pendant shoved into her chest and her chin hit the wall.

"Bitch, you're going to get what's coming to you.."Presley said as she prepared to swing.

Sophia suddenly collapsed to the floor as she was racked with pain radiating from her stomach... The rage she had felt for Paul mixed with the hatred of Presley sent her spiraling over the edge.

Ignoring the pain, Sophia got up, despite the tauntings of Presley and her gang and prepared to strike.

Presley had turned her back to mock her to her friends when presley took her out at the knees. As Presley's head connected with the floor her nose busted open and her mouth began to bleed profusely.

As her friends egged her on Presley got up though woozy from loss of blood when she collapsed again and passed out. Just before Sophia could go in for a second attack and before the teachers could intervene Sean and two other wolves swooped in and took Presley away and were followed by her friends.

Sophia was slightly dizzy and felt faint when Paul and Luke both came to her "aid".

"man back off, get the fuck away from her." Luke demanded pushing Paul.

"Luke she needs help, let me help her please." Paul begged as he bent to help Sophia.

"No one is helping anyone... I'm fine and I can get up on my own." Sophia said as she stood and looked at Luke.

"Luke, I really appreciate what you're trying to do but...." Sophia started as she turned to face Paul.

"Paul and I need to talk about our 'connection'" Sophia said putting emphasis on the word connection.

Paul looked at Sophia and both she and Luke saw realization dawn on his face and then watched it be replaced by fear.

After all that they watched Paul take off down the hall and out the doors at a speed that was incredibly fast...almost inhuman.

"Paul.... Wait..... we need to... uuuuugggghhh." Sophia doubled over in pain as the cramps that radiated from her stomach earlier had now intensified from her struggle with Presley.

As Sophia collapsed into Luke's arms he started running for Sherman.... It took longer because the final bell had rung and students were pushing past him to get out of the school.

The closer to Sherman they got the louder and more anguished filled her cries began.

Luke felt every convulsion, every plea to make the pain go away and an excruciating awareness that their was nothing he could do just now.

As he got to Sherman's office he kicked the door open to find Sherman at his desk.

"Help her Sherman, please." Luke begged.

Sherman hit a button and a hole appeared in the wall that led straight to Sherman's house for such occasions. Sherman ordered Luke to follow him with Sophia... Luke obeyed and as Sherman walked ahead Luke could have sworn that he heard Sherman talking.

It was weird it sounded like Sherman was talking about Sophia and some sort of prophecy .....

But Luke didn't realize that Sherman had started talking when he saw the pendant and when he saw that her eyes glowed not solid gold but gold rimmed in red with red flecks....

DUM DUM DUM.... What's going to happen?? Well you tell me what you think and we'll see what happens.
