A/N: Hey guys I'm so sorry for taking so long to write. I have been horribly busy, but I hope to write more often. Plus this chapter is by far the longest. Also I have had writers block for awhile, but I think I now know how it is going to end… Anyway I'm open for suggestions and reviews are appreciated.
James' view
"Anne," I knew something was different, but this blew any guesses away. "What's going on?"
Jess opened her mouth to speak, but Anne interrupted her. "Nothing James," she said flashing me a big smile.
I was captivated by her smile and how beautiful she was. How can I doubt her I asked myself.
"James put your eyes back in your head and pay attention." Jess said breaking my attention at Anne. I looked at her confused.
"What's over?" I asked getting back up to what was going on.
"Nothing," I heard Anne say, but I refused to look at her.
"Forget it Anne." Jess growled. "Look James there is something different about Angeline and Anne."
I heard a growling sound come from Anne. "Jess let's not fight. It would be a shame to hurt you."
"No I'm not afraid of you…" Anne leapt toward Jess and put her hand over her mouth. Jess struggled to move, but Anne gave her no chance of doing so.
"James darling," Anne purred. "Why don't we talk in a more private setting?" She looked me right in the eyes and I felt like something was being dragged over my eyes. "You seem so tired James. Time to sleep honey. James sleep please."
Of course I thought, but couldn't find the strength to tell her so… Lacey screamed.
Angeline's view
"Let me go!" I screamed thrashing around. I was afraid that he might drop me, but hopefully I could survive the fall.
"Stop," Xavier commanded to no avail. "You are making it extremely hard to fly straight."
"Good." I spat at him. "If you let me go it would help you out tremendously."
He laughed and changed his course slightly. "You know if I wasn't sent to kidnap you and you didn't jerk around so much I would actually like this. And you."
"Well if you weren't my kidnapper then… no I still wouldn't like you."
He chuckled again and landed softly near a warehouse. I opened my mouth to scream, but he quickly covered it. "Screaming won't help, because there isn't anyone around, but it will annoy me to the point of snapping your pretty neck." He whispered in my ear causing my hair to rise. I sighed knowing he was right because I didn't notice any human movement. "Good girl." Again I growled at his words. "Feisty," he muttered.
The warehouse was dark and surprisingly small. To my horror I saw a small cage in a corner. "I'm not going in that thing." I said defiantly.
He laughed again. "Of course not. That's for the dog."
"Dog," I whispered remembering my bad experience about dogs.
"He won't hurt you." James said. That day was back when we were just friends.
"I don't want to go near him. He's big and a stray so there is no telling what he'll do." I answered standing further back.
"Come on just pet him." He looked up at me with trusting eyes.
"Fine, but I'm blaming you for any pain." He chuckled and extended his hand in an after you way.
I went up to the big German Sheppard and hesitated. The dog stared at me and growled. "Tracy…" James warned, but I wasn't going to be afraid. I reached my hand towards the dog and he lunged.
The pain was terrible and I screamed with the intenseness of it. The dog began growling and running toward me.
"Stop!" James shouted at the dog. And then when it didn't he grabbed my good hand pulled me behind him and took off. When we got to my house he bandaged my hand up and asked if I was okay.
"Now that you've saved me I am." I replied hugging him tight.
"I'll always be there for you Tracy…"
That was then and now he wasn't there for me not at this second or earlier. Xavier chuckled. "He won't hurt you as long as you do what you're supposed to do." Tears welled in my eyes as I realized how alone and in trouble I truly was.
James' view
I opened my eyes slowly. The sun was shining brightly through my bed room window. I yawned and stretched slowly. Angeline I thought in a panic.
"Why am I in my room?" I asked myself quietly.
There was a loud knock at the door. "James are you up?" Lacey asked.
"Yeah." I said confused. "Where is Angeline?" I asked her as she came in.
"Who's Angeline?" She asked coming to sit by me.
"Angeline? Come on you came to spy on us and then Jess came a long and then Anne…" I trailed off.
Lacey put her hand to my forehead. "Are you feeling okay? You aren't sick are you?" She asked jumping away for fear of catching it.
"I feel fine thank you, but where is Angeline and Anne?" This is starting to annoy me…
The door bell rang. "That is probably your girlfriend Anne now." She said jumping up and going to the door.
"Anne is my girlfriend?" I asked quietly, but she didn't hear.
"James," I heard Anne's voice call. She poked her head through the door. "Come on we are going to be late." She said sitting beside me. "Lacey said you were feeling funny, but I'm not buying it." Her lips grazed my cheek as she whispered in my ear. "Let's go."
I froze afraid and nervous about what was going on. "Where is Angeline?" I said lowly.
"Who's Angeline," she asked backing up. Tears welled in her pretty eyes. "You aren't thinking of another woman are you?"
I put my arms around her. "Of course not Anne." I said slightly confused. "But where is she?"
Anne smiled at my answer and put her hand on my forehead. "Maybe you are a bit sick."
I jumped out of bed angrily. "I'm not sick! I am perfectly fine, but I need to know what you did to Angeline…"
"James!" She shouted back. "There is no one by the name of Angeline who I know. There isn't even one in the school. So I don't know who you are talking about, but there is no one by the name of Angeline."
"Yes there is." She just stared at me. "Fine then what about…" I froze unable to utter the name. "Tracy," I finally muttered.
"Oh," her eyes fell to the ground. "Her death was so tragic, but I wasn't aware that you really knew her."
"What are you talking about?" I shouted. "I went out with her, I loved her, and I still love her." I whispered.
"Dated her? What are you talking about? Honey you've been going out with me since third grade." She said in a confused voice.
"No we only started dating a few days ago." Right, I asked myself.
"Maybe this will remind you of all the good times we shared." Anne reached over and grabbed the back of my head. Her lips were soft on mine. She smiled slightly when I pulled her closer to me. I began remembering all the kisses we shared since third grade. How sweet she was how loving… It all came back.
I pulled away embarrassed. "I'm sorry Anne. I guess the dream I had last night was almost too convincing." She laughed softly.
"That's fine as long as you know that I love you and vice versa." She said smiling widely.
"Of course." I exclaimed pulling her in for another kiss. I hope I don't have another dream like that one…
Angeline's view
I was sitting on a large crate curled up into a small ball like shape. Xavier stood at the opposite side of the building talking through a strange phone looking device. For the fifteenth time in an hour I heard a dog bark.
Xavier laughed softly making me look at him. "What are you laughing at now?" I asked warily.
He had a big grin on his face and that scared me. "Oh I was just getting some info from my boss."
I froze his boss was obviously Anne and anything she did could mean something with James. "What about it?" I asked struggling to keep my temper under control.
"Oh well it seems that she has your boyfriend under good control. So good that he has forgotten you." He smiled widely.
No it can't be I thought in dismay, but somehow I knew it was. "You're lying." I said trying to convince myself more than him.
"Come on now Angeline. You and I both no better than that." He cocked his head slightly to the side. "He doesn't know who you are anymore, nor does he care."
"But Jess and Lacey will." I said smiling at the thought of them figuring something out.
He chuckled again. I wonder how hard it would be to laugh if I tore his throat out I thought angrily. "You think we're that stupid?" His smile grew wider. "Anne has it all planed out."
Tears formed in my eyes, but I quickly blinked them away, there was no way he was going to see my cry. "Well then I'll figure it out." I said closing my eyes and trying to sleep.
James' view
"Hey Jess." I called as Anne and I entered the school building.
"Hi guys." She said giving us a big smile.
Seems like she thinks everything is normal. I guess this means it really was just a dream I thought smiling back.
"Are you ready for the test?" She asked.
"I'm not sure." I said frowning. "I probably will fail."
Anne's breathy high laughter lifted my heart. "No me and him studied rather hard. Didn't we?" She asked.
My cheeks burned as I remembered the kisses and very little studying that happened yesterday. "Yeah we studied real hard."
Jess rolled her eyes. "Oh I should have known. Maybe an F will convince you to change around your study habits." She smiled big.
I rolled my eyes back at her. "Oh be quiet Jess. I'll do fine."
I walked to my table with a sad heart. The test consisted of things that I was almost positive that we hadn't even studied. Jess and Anne, along with two other girls were at the table laughing and smiling.
Anne turned to me and smiled. My heart stuttered and I couldn't believe that I could think of her anything less than a girlfriend. Jess also looked up at me and smiled.
Then her eyes clouded over. I sat down slowly and stared at her. "Jess are you okay?" I asked putting my hand on her shoulder. She mumbled something quietly. "What did you say?"
"Pen and paper," she said her eyes unfocused. She was starting to scare me. I grabbed a piece of paper and handed it to. I didn't have anything to write with though.
"Anne can she borrow your pencil?" I asked snapping her out of a conversation with a red-haired girl.
"Sure," she said absentmindedly handing me her pencil.
I waved it in front of her face until she grabbed even though she never looked at it. Creepy I thought shuddering.
I looked down at what she had written. It said "Call 770-997-4132 for help."
Angeline's view
I curled up tighter as the dogs barks grew louder. "Come here Angeline. I have a friend I want you to meet." Xavier's voice said in a mocking and rude tone.
"Please," I whispered. "Please, leave me alone."
He laughed at my brokenness. "Now just because your boyfriend doesn't thing you exist doesn't mean you have to shut everyone out. Talking is said to help, so let's talk."
If it wasn't for the dog I would have killed him then and there. I looked up slowly and saw none other than a German Sheppard. As if that wasn't bad enough it looked like it was on steroids. I was so dead.
He ran over to me and pulled me off of the crate. The dog began barking like mad. I pulled against him, but he was to strong. "Please," I kept repeating over again and over again. "Please don't let him hurt me."
"Look Angeline this will help you face your fears." He said locking me in a section of the building that was blocked off by a chain-link fence. "That is if he doesn't kill you." Xavier walked into another room.
The German Sheppard barked louder and then it began to growl. I threw my wings around my body as it lunged.
Jess' view
"Jess, right," the man asked through the telephone. I cannot believe you are calling some random number you thought of, Jess. I mean that's crazy even for you I thought sadly.
"What do you want? What did you mean by that message? And how did I get it?" I asked angrily.
He chuckled slowly. "Slow down I'll answer all of your questions. I want to help you and Angeline."
"Who is Angeline?"
He sighed. "You know who she is… May I continue?" No I wanted to scream at him you didn't answer my question. "I will explain all of it in a few minutes." Good. "Angeline is Tracy."
I hissed as he said her name. "Tracy is dead." I growled.
"And then she came back to life, but you already know this. Look deep inside yourself Jess." I felt the back of my brain tickle. "Remember," he said quietly.
I actually felt something was wrong now, but I still didn't know what it was. "I can't…"
"We need to meet and I can explain all of it." He said. "Meet me at the Starbucks, okay?"
"Wait I don't know you. Why should I and who are you?" I said angrily.
"My name is Daniel and you need to come, because all of this isn't real and Angeline, James, and you are in danger."
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it please give me reviews or suggestions. I will try to update soon, so you aren't left with such a cliffhanger. P.S. I plan on writing in Jess' view only one more time and I hope y'all don't mind.
