Chapter 14.

I was shocked no one had noticed I left but I was happy I wasn't on lockdown anymore, Wooptie doo!? Slowly I turned a corner I saw Amber turn a minute before, I noticed it was getting dark and I knew Derek would be home soon so I needed to hurry and catch up to Amber. The closer I got to the end of the street the more worried I got about being out here, I got to an alley and noticed I didn't see Amber anymore. I hid behind the wall and saw a figure throw a trashcan and I muffled scream which sounded kinda familiar, AMBER!? I began to run toward them and screamed, "Amber!"

The figure turned around and froze when they saw me, "Stay back!" the voice was deep and scary.

"Leave my friend alone you bastard!" I felt anger boiling up inside of me as I stepped forward, I was about to leap forward when they flashed out of the alley right past me. So close I felt my arm brush up against them and shivered at the touch when I remembered, AMBER! Rushing over to her I saw her nose bloody, a patch of her hair missing, her body crumpled on the floor, and a huge gash on her head. I stepped back with my hands to my mouth trying to hold back my scream when I bumped into someone, I turned around in shock to see Derek. Quickly I threw myself in his arms and broke down dropping to the ground, and I cried my eyes out not knowing what else to do. He held my body tight against his as my eyes streamed tears, "Can you please take her to the hospital I can't ear to look at her." I said through his shirt.

"Of course," there was a pause and I heard footsteps pound against the pavement, I turned to see Jess with a worried look on her face, "I'll take her home, get Amber to the hospital. Tell Logan I'll kick his ass later hurry up before anything happens." Jess nodded and flashed over to Amber, picked her up carefully, and flashed out of the alley. Derek picked me up bridal style and walked out of the alley, my eyes still watery and limbs still achy, "Wanna tell me what happened?"

"From the beginning?" He nodded so I started with when Johnathan came, when me and Logan talked, what happened when jenny came over, me and Amber's argument, and when the figure began to follow her, "That's when jumped after her and left."

"So did my sister really ask you all that?"

"Yeah...so she's your adoptive sister?"

"Um yes she is." I didn't want to push him so I stopped, we came to the apartment building when I realized Derek wasn't moving. I looked up at him to see his face stern ready to bear his fangs, I turned to see a girl and I tensed in Derek's grip.

"Derek!" He let his face loosen and a bright smile lit up his face as she stepped forward.

"Selene it's so good to see you, all of time you have impeccable timing." She came out of the shadows and that's when my jaw dropped and I saw her. She had long beach sand blonde curls down her back, her curves were just the right size, her lips were like tiger lilies, her eyes were clover green, and her legs were long and perfect under her mini skirt she was wearing, She's perfect!

"But she has nothing on you." Derek's voice echoed in my mind and my cheeks warmed.

"Ah so this is Miss Alicia Reynolds I told you to keep an eye out for a tornado and was I right?" She said as her voice sounding like silk when I realized what she had said.

"Yes you were and believe me I'm settling into this storm very willingly." I grinned at his comment but still wondered about what she meant.

"Oh where are my thoughts I'm Selene Gardee I'm an old friend of Derek's" she raised her hand "oh and a psychic."

"Selene told me about a feisty, hot, and different girl walking into my life and look here you come just in time but in trouble." He lowered his eyes.

"That's why I'm here Chantel is back..." She paused.

"We're well aware of that Selene." Derek stated.

"You didn't let me finish, she has a few plans...and friends." That's when my heart sank, Derek's grip tightened and I tensed.

"Let's go upstairs and talk." He walked through the door, me still in his arms, and Selene behind us we walked into the apartment. I gasped at what I saw the fridge a wreck (Logan), Trey in the corner on his cell (trying to call Amber maybe), the couch flipped over (one of Derek's tantrums again), and Jenny and Freddie no where in sight. I dropped from Derek's grip and gawked, "Sorry we all had a tough time with you gone."

Ignoring Derek I rushed over to Trey, "Trey are you okay what's wrong?"

"Where's Amber have you seen her it's been two hours she's never out this late unless we're with her?" He was going insane.

I gulped the lump in my throat and said, "Trey she's in the hospital." When he looked up we both burst into tears, after ten minutes of crying I brought Trey to his room telling him we'll go see her later and turned to Derek and Selene. "Where do we go from here?"

Derek turned to Selene and they walked to my island pushing aside all the trash on it, we sat down and I sighed as Derek wrapped his arm around me, "Okay tell us what you know Selene."

Slowly she brought her hands to her temples and closed her eyes "She does want you both to suffer, so she's coming after Alicia. But she knows that you have many on your side so she took some on her side, two guys and another girl. I can't place my mind on their names but I can pinpoint their bring-ups, the girl is from here, the first boy is from England an old vampire at that too as old as you Derek, and the last boy is newly turned from California" she reached her hand out and touched my palm snapping her eyes open, "do you know a Johnathan Alicia?" I was shocked as she said his name.

"He's my ex."

"Well looks as if she's trying to use him to weaken your walls, by your energy it's working..." I pulled my hand away and cowardly backed into Derek's arm, "Well I see there's not much trust between us so moving on, hmm oh and I see one last thing I'm sorry you both this maybe why you want to stay with her at all times..." She just stopped and I was anxious to know what she was gonna say.

"Selene?" Derek said trying to get something out of her.

She sat in silence.

I looked between them both but got nothing.

Selene stirred.

A buzz came from the fridge.

Derek's arm was tensing.

i was gonna lose it, Selene sighed.

That's it!

"Selene what in the hell do you see!" I screamed at her as I jumped up scaring her and Derek.

"I-I I see you Alicia...laying in an alley, laying in a big pool of your blood, bearly breathing, and it's almost too late." Once she said it I wish I had never got her to, I dropped back in my chair and got light headed as I fell out the chair and landed on the floor, everything went black...

*****OOOOOOOOOOOOO OMIGOD WHO ELSE IS SO SHOCKED PLEZ TELL ME WAT YALL THINK ABOUT IT ADIOS!*****
