Okay, sorry guys this is the actual chapter 12. I am thinking...Or a Shadow in Possession Mode... "Wolf telepathy.." " I am a ghost talking or a Shadow stalking :P"
Eric, Amy, Bad Guys are my OC's, all rights reserved!
-Amy-
"Man, and here I thought you were the early bird." I heard Ned's voice say. I groaned and turned over. Burrowing myself in the blankets.
"Come Amy! We're gonna be late for school." Aiden said running in, backpack and all.
"Hey Aiden, maybe you should go get a glass of cold water..."
"Okay!" He answered running out.
"No wait!. I'm up!" I said bolting awake as if I had already been splashed. Ned laughed and closed the door behind him. "Meet you downstairs." He called through the door.
"Huh, no time limit?" I teased.
"Oh yeah, 3 minutes." Came the answer, followed by sounds as he made his way downstairs. How the heck was I going to get ready in 3 minutes? I speed brushed my hair, my teeth, and clothes. Accidently putting on my mismatched pair of pajama socks, which I realized as I tied the laces of my converse.
"Gotta go Amy! Waiting out in the car!" Ned yelled up. "Hurry slow poke!" Aiden added. I sighed. Forget the socks, my pants were long enough to hide them. I grabbed my pack and rushed out to the car and climbed in the backseat, Aiden claiming the front. He laughed. "I got froooonnnnttt" He sang as Ned told him to buckle up. I rolled my eyes but laughed anyway, tugging on lock of hair. "Only for today, small fry."
"Alright, you're gonna have to tell me where to go because I have no clue." Ned said backing out.
"Well, to drop Aiden off first would be easier, you're going to want to take a right and stay on the winding road till you see a diner. Then go left and it'll be on the left again."
"Whoa, you know where my school is?" Aiden asked surprised.
"Yup, I went with Melinda and Jim when we signed you up." I caught Ned's face in the rearview mirror. "We had a visitor at home I didn't want to deal with." I told him pointedly in code. Which meant there was ghost that got rather violent. Which used to Stanelybut thanks to Nessie and Bella being my shields I was able to coax him into alming down and talking to refused to talk to me because of the Shadows and my being marked by one. When we had Aiden dropped off I told Ned where the high school was and when I climbed out I gave him directions to get back home.
"See you after school then." He said waving."Melinda gave me homework to do."
"Well you better get started then." I said, closing the door and watching him drive off. It wasn't long after that Nessie and her family pulled up, Ness waving to me and I waved back. We met each other halfway to the door. I smiled, "So how was your weekend?" I asked mischievously. She matched my smile and answered "Oh, it was good. You?" Bella rolled her eyes in the background as she and Edward made their way to first period. We both giggled and walked to our science class. I kept anxiously looking at the clock at the start of each period, debating whether or not to skip Theater. The class I share with Ness, Bella and...Eric. I still didn't know what to make of him. "Whatcha thinkin?" I turned to Alice in Math class. By the look on her face it seemed she already knew. "You sure can't do two things at once?" I asked her, hoping she understood my code referring to the gifts in the Cullen family. She smiled wider. "Positive. I'm more focused on long term." She answered, matching my code. I chuckled and focused back on class. At least until it ended and I had to make my way to Theater.
"Don't worry." Alice said appearing behind me with Rosalie. "It'll be awkward at first but you two will get over it." Rosalie remained silent, opting for no comment. Before I could reply Alice turned away and started walking with Jasper. But not before she gave me an encouraging wave. Rosalie met up with Emmett and disappeared down the halls, as Bella and Ness appeared at my side.
"Is it just me, or is my gut telling me I'm being babysitted." I asked as I started walking.
"Both." Ness said smiling.
"It's just me being babysitted?"
"Yup."
"Great." I groaned.
And then the door to the Theater classrom pulled into view and my stomach sank as Eric was waiting by the door. "Yes, he's your babysitter too." Ness whispered teasingly. I didn't even answer. All I could hear was my heartbeat and to make it worse? He could hear it too. And all my other babysitters. What is wrong with me? Why do I have to start reacting like this when I see him? He didn't say anything or give a look that said he was in my head listening to me. And he probably was but thankfully was decent enough to keep quiet about it. We all took our seats as the bell rang, me sitting between Bella and Nessie for safe measure, as the sub appeared before us again.
"You're teacher would like me to make a few announcements. First and foremost, to Eric Cullen and Amelia Gordon for taking first place in the Dance competition." I turned to Ness who nodded and mouthed 'Yup'. Huh, we probably won because most of the judges were girls. "Second, we will not be doing Romeo and Juliet as our play. Instead we will be doing Sweeny Todd. As you are first hour theater, we will begin the auditions. So hup! To the stage!" We all filed our way out when I asked Nessie, "Is Sweeny Todd a musical?" She nodded. "Can't sing?" Came Eric's question, with a slight grin. "Actually no. I can't." He grinned wider. "I challenge you to try."
"You first." And there he goes. Straight up to the stage and waited for everyone to be seated.
"Aw crap, I gotta learn to keep my mouth shut." I muttered as we sat. Nessie laughed quietly and Eric mock coughed and started. And yes, he was good. Better than good. And then he pinpointed me in the crowd. "Your turn Amelia." Which of course earned the gazes of everyone. I grumbled and stomped my way up to the stage. "It's Amy." I muttered as he passed by and I took center stage.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. And then I started sing. Not one of your modern day pieces. I prefered to sing in gaelic like the Celtic Women. And the song I sang was low and sweet that quickly rose and quickly fell. You'd think I could speak gaelic, but I couldn't. Unless I was singing it. And when the song finished you'd swear you could hear crickets chirping outside. But then everyone applauded and I quickly ran off the stage before the lights caught the red in my cheeks.
"I thought you couldn't sing." Eric said surprised. " I can't. What you heard was your imagination." I even stuck out my tongue for good measure. He rolled his eyes as the next class audition started and we lapsed back into silence. Nessie gave me a congradulatory nudge and a thumbs up. I smiled back and mouthed 'your turn'. And the rest of the auditions passed by fairly quickly. Sometimes plugging our ears, sometime stretching them, or catching a quick nap.
"Alright, the bell will ring any minute if you'll pack up your stuff. Your teacher will be here tomorrow and I'll post the leading cast at the end of the day."
"Hungry?" Bella asked as the four of us filed out at the bell.
"Always." Eric commented.
"Argh, why do you always have to spoil the mood." He blinked in surprise at my tone, but I stomped past him trailing Nessie to the cafeteria. "Come on. Let's go sit over by my family." She offered as we got our food. As I followed I spotted Eric sitting by his lonesome at a table nearest the corner. "Alright." I agreed as we made our way over and joined them. We filled up two long tables with everyone -minus Eric-, Nessie and I, Jacob and Seth were all situated. Jacob and Seth monopolizing everyone else's food since they couldn't eat it. Nessie even gave most of hers, save the pudding, to Jacob. "I prefer my other diet." She explained. I shrugged. "I don't mind. But next time I get your sandwhich." She smiled in agreement.
"Hey, do you have a picture of Aiden? Or Ned? I don't know what they look like and I have yet to meet them." She asked excitedly. I nodded and dug in my backpack for my manly woman's wallet. "Hang on Ness, be patient." Edward said chuckleing. "It's in her manly woman's wallet." He added, the boys laughing. I glared but gave up when I found it at the bottom. I brought it out and started sifting through the pockets for the picture when I finally found it and brought it out. I gasped as images started forming in front of me, overtaking the school cafeteria, the sounds of conversation drowning out.
And suddenly I was Aiden sitting in class by the window. I watched him studiously paying attention when something out the window caught his attention. I turned and looked out with him. The figure of a person standing by the tree and surrounded by the ever popular green. He was shirtless and barefoot and his smile was pointedly sharp. It was Derek, my ex-boyfriend,. I reconized the blonde hair, the overly buff build. He waved to Aiden and disappeared in the woods. I turned back to Aiden but he was already excused for the bathroom and was running down the hallway and out the front door. Following Derek into the woods.
"Amy!" Nessie lightly slapped my wrist but it made jump 5 feet in the air nonetheless. Sending my wallet in the air, which Bella thankfully caught. I looked around, quickly making sure I was back in the cafeteria. "Amy?" I looked back at Ness and hastily stood up. "Aiden." Was all I said as I started running towards the door. Eric, albeit in his little corner, was near the door I needed to get to the woods. He obviously saw what I saw and was already standing up, blocking the door with his arms crossed.
"Move."
"Who is Derek?"
"Move."
'Who is Derek?" I cursed and tried shoving past him as everyone made their way over as the school kids screamed for a fight. "He's a werewolf. Now move."
"No." He said, not budging.
"I need to get to Aiden before he kills him! Now MOVE!" I shouted trying to forcibly move him.
"Amy, we'll go get him. You don't stand a chance, please." Nessie pleaded, pulling me away from Eric.
"I fared pretty well last time." Eric frowned as I said that. "I'm wearing my silver locket from my mother. If he doesn't give me Aiden I'll shove it down his throat."
"You're not leaving." Eric said.
"Silver doesn't work, trust me." Jacob added.
"You're a shifter. He's legit. I have silver, he has Aiden, now let me go."
"Wouldn't want to creat a bigger scene then it already is." Rosalie suggested.
"She could lead us to him and we can rescue Aiden, get him to safety and take care of the dog." Jasper agreed.
Emmett nodded eagerly and Eric resorted to growling low and talking too fast for me to hear.
They all turned to Alice. "Sorry, I don't see dogs."
"But Amy does." Bella said, nodding to Nessie who finally let me go. I bolted for the door but Eric was still in the way. I glared up at him.
"If Aiden dies because your having a mental meltdown I'll figure out a way to kill you and make it hurt." He gave me a look I couldn't read and stepped aside. As I moved past him he grabbed my arm. "On one condition. I stay close to you and when the fighting starts you do as I say."
I walked up close to him." On one condition, you keep Aiden safe from him." I said, making one of my own.
"Agreed." He nodded and dragged me out the door. He was barely keeping the run at a human pace as we ran for the woods. The Cullens followed, Jacob, Seth, Nessie and Bella stayed and spread a cover story as they made their way for the cars and speed drove them home.
"Climb onto my back, it'll be faster." I looked around as they waited and no one else offered. I quickly climbed on and before I knew it we were speeding through the woods.
"Where are we going?" Emmett asked.
"The woods surrounding the elementary school." Eric and Edward said at the same time. I just hoped that Aiden would stay there until we came.
