Chapter 37: Fix Me
KELSEY POV
I ran into my house, and changed into sweats. I had a lot of work to do. I grabbed my iPod and started to 'jog' towards the woods. When I got there, I bolted, and fed until I was bursting.
Pleased to find myself clean of blood, I 'jogged' back out of the woods and back to my apartment. Then I waited until the sun set.
I slithered out my window, and ran silently across town, following Eric's scent to his household. His parents were asleep, but he was still up, pacing little circles in his room, rubbing his throat.
My blood turned cold.
Slowly, I went to his parents' room, and déjà vu made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. In their closets were suits, business clothing. On both of their bedside tables were pagers and cell phones.
His parents were probably exactly like mine, behavior wise. But why was this happening in Gresham? The parents stirred so I leapt out their window and lay in the well of their roof, staring at the stars. (A roof well is the different parts of the roof meet to form a long well.)
Roof wells are the perfect place to hide, you can't see into them unless you are facing them, which means you would have to be as tall as the roof, or be on the roof too. Perfect spot for a vampire. You can hear everything happening in the house, without being in it.
My mind started to wrap itself around the mysterious events happening here in Gresham. Why here? Because it was cloudy a lot?
When the sun began to come up, I leapt off the house and ran back to mine. I changed for work then I logged onto my computer and opened a live video feed. As it opened, Carlisle and Alice were already there.
"Kelsey." Carlisle greeted me. I smiled in return, but there was no warmth in it. "I found a connection. His family was exactly like mine. The only thing I don't know is why it's happening in Gresham." Carlisle frowned, his brow furrowing.
Alice spoke up. "You have to leave now or you will be late to work. Take Eric aside and tell him everything. He will listen to you. Bring him to Forks." Alice said calmly. I nodded, thanked them both, and logged off.
I sat at my computer for a second, watching the empty screen. Then I got up and went to work, trying to think of how I was going to do this.
So, can Kelsey persuade Eric to come with her, to believe her? Why is evolution starting in Gresham, to kids with crappy parents? You'll have to review and ask.
