Calling

Chapter 14: The Last Day

Seth

Erin and I were playing on the computer in some kind of virtual world. It was this monster thing, and you got to choose what kind of monster you became. I was a werewolf, and Erin was a witch. If she got a vampire, we would be on opposite teams. Erin was casting a spell on an ogre that never seemed to die. I was biting it like wild. Then we heard a booming laugh from Emmett and Rosalie's room.

"You got me again!" Emmett yelled. I looked at Erin; she was trying not to laugh.

Trixithewitch: He-he... It's Emmett.

MrFabulouswolf: Yup.

BigBadEmmett: Hello, short people!

Trixithewitch: Emmett!

BigBadEmmett: What? It's a free country!

MrFabulouswolf: You're in trouble.

Just as I wrote that, Erin casted a spell. The ogre yelled in defeat and was gone. I made my character kiss Trixithewitch in approval.

Trixithewitch: Catch me if you can!

A broomstick appeared in the sky and soared towards her. She flew off, leaving me to run in her direction. We were still running, until I was pinged.

Trixithewitch: Seth, have you ever been given a choice to say goodbye, even when you never want to go?

MrFabulouswolf: No, what're you talking about?

Trixithewitch: I had a vision that I'll have to leave soon. You weren't with me.

MrFabulouswolf: Really?

Trixithewitch: You were fighting a vampire. I never saw you again.

MrFabulouswolf: If that ever happens, then I'd have already said goodbye, ready to say hello again when I find you.

Trixithewitch: :'( What if you can never say hello again?

MrFabulouswolf: I'll find you.

Trixithewitch: I love you.

I looked at Erin. She was about to cry.

Trixithewitch has logged off.

I logged off too, and hugged Erin. She was still crying, and I held her tighter. I started to sing a Quileute song that my mom used to sing to me when I was sad. She calmed down after a few minutes, and I picked her up. She started to fall asleep. I brought her to my room and set her down. I fell asleep beside her.

***

I awoke to Erin shaking me awake.

"Seth, wake up. Jacob is howling outside, and Edward translated to say he found a vampire trail!"
