The Memory of A Girl
Chapter 35
Chris, after cautiously walking down the hall, rushed through the first door she could reach. Looking through it carefully, no one was there. But she heard a ring coming from the bed she was near. It was a cell phone, which had the caller's name Jayden on it. Quickly, she picked it up.
"Hello?" she spoke quietly.
"Chris? Is that you?" Jayden's voice said.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" she asked.
"Are you with Derek yet?"
"No. But something tells me I'm in his room.."
"Well find him and get over here quick. We've got some serious trouble!"
"What?" Chris said, a little too loudly.
"There are these weird shadow things, too many of them. And Merdelia's here too." Jayden explained.
"Oh god." Chris sighed. "Are you guys okay?"
"We're holding them off as best as we can, but I don't think Mallory's doing so well."
"What do you-"
"Oh no, I got to go help! Come over, quickly!" Jayden said before ending the call, leaving Chris with fear at the pit of her stomach.
Chris gently put the phone back down where she found it and turned around to see the door just opening. Walking in was Derek, probably looking for the phone that Chris just answered. He finally noticed Chris and was shocked. "Chris? What are you..how'd you get here?" he asked her.
"Ok Derek, I know you still don't want to talk to me, but we have to get out of here. Our friends need out help and-" Chris's sentence was cut off by Derek's lips.
After a brief moment, they parted. "Calm down, and talk slowly." he told her.
Surprised, Chris looked at him. "I thought you were mad at me?"
"I was, but then I thought about it and knew you wouldn't really do something like that." he smiled.
Chris smiled too. But before she could say anything else, Blair came bursting through the door. "There you are!" she panted.
"Blaire, what's wrong?" Chris asked her.
"We have to leave now. Melissa just called and told me that Mallory is hurt."
yeah, sorry for the short chapter. I'm really getting mad from this writer's block, but hopefully I'll get past it to make a longer, better next chapter. Thanks for sticking through the story guys, it really means alot to me. Please review!
