Chapter 25: The Rogue

I walked out closer to the sea, watching the tide come in and out. I pulled my sleeves over my hands and squeezed my arms around my body. Maybe he was right and I should have brought a coat. Like it's only December for God's sake and we haven't been having snow for the past two weeks. Smart Bronte, real smart.

I whined, shivering from the cold. So maybe walking out like that wasn't the smartest idea but I have the right to be angry. And he was way out of line.

"Well hey beautiful. Something on your mind?" I heard a voice from behind me. I spun instantly, almost falling in the sand. There was a man standing there, looking at me. I swallowed, feeling super creeped out. His deep black hair fell untidily into his eyes, so I could barely see them. But I could of swore I saw a glint of red in them.

I stepped backwards a little, trying to make it look natural. I failed. "Who are you?"

"I think the question is who are you?" He edged forward slightly, sending back waves of déjà vu. Right now, instinct was telling me to run but my feet felt stuck to the ground. "I'm surprised that those stupid little doggies let something as pretty as you go running around on your own. It isn't very safe around here."

Doggies? How would he know about that? Unless…..

"Oh my God." I whispered, watching my breath in the cold air. I stepped back again.

"He ain't gonna help you now sweetheart." He sniffed. "You know you smell gorgeous."

"I knew I shouldn't have put on that perfume this morning."

He laughed softly. "Time to die. I'm going to eat you slowly."

I backed away more, him following me. He pushed me, making me fall on my but into the sand. My hand landed on a branch, slitting my hand open. I gasped in pain and my other hand automatically flew to Seth's necklace which I always wore, as if it would give me some kind of magical protection. Somebody help me please.

He stopped, as if hearing my thoughts. "And what is that you're wearing?" he asked, kneeling in front of me. I could feel myself shaking as he lifted the star with one finger. He dropped it immediately, almost as if it had burned him. He stood up.

"Loving the star. Once your dead I'm going to take it as a nice little token. But now it's your time to die."

"See that is where I disagree." An unfamiliar voice said from behind me, and everything went white.

A/N: I know it's been a while and i'm sorry! But life has been crazy. I know it's another short chapter but i felt i had to split this one from what comes next. Leave a little anticipation, you know. You can try and guess who it is but i am telling you now you won't be right. :)

Carlaina: Sorry Carl. I totally forgot how they call her Kayla 'cause in my mind i think of her as Caitlynda (prob because i know people called Caitlin). I didn't mean to, my brother was just talking about a girl in his class and i was looking for a name so.... 15 as of yesterday. When you are put through the Hannah torture method, you won't need to ask what's wrong with her. No they haven't come yet. :( I'm still waiting. Carl can be a unisex name. People call me Ash and Ash can be a boys name (like from pokemon :D) I'm sorry but Carl sticks.

Bronte II: Lol my brother's named after my dad but i am NEVER naming my child Aisling, unless the daddy has a cool name, than it won't be his either :) Lol.

SystemTwilightError: Lol thank you. I really don't know what's wrong with me. This story is the first ever slushy one really. They're usually in your face, sad ones. It's a nice change though. lol. I love not doing tha laundry.

jewlzncoolz: Thanks jewlz! Geez, you always make me feel really good with the compliments. XD

xXPassion11Xx: lol i don't blame you. She does believe him now but i guess with the whole rouge thingy she hasn't had time to go into shock.

EmmettLaughedAtMe: Less boring for me too. Really? I'm going to read it back while listening later. Nope, but i feel it will be soon. *rubs hands together*. LOL. Spying? Tut tut. lol. xxx

(To anyone reading this next comment, just so you know it's totally irrelevant to MBF.)

I know: Thanks. Don't worry about killing her. believe it or not, you actually want her to stay alive 'cause it's big doo doo if she dies. I'm watching season 5 and it ROCKS. I can't believe S is willing to wait a year for it. xxx

the pen fatelle: Awh. Thank you!

Eskimo Baby: me too. :)

IshaCullen: *shudders in sympathy for you* It's totally cool. Hope running's going good for you. I hope it's not as cold as it is hear or i'd die. Lol. It isn't Riley. To be honest, he's just a little person i put in s i could introduce someone to you guys. You'll meet him next chapter.
