*Disclaimer: I don't own the series Gilmore Girls or the characters. All I
own is my imagination and the plot.
*A/N: Hey!!! :-) Sorry, this chapter is kind of short, but I didn't have the time to work out the rest of the details. On the other hand, this chapter is perfect the way it is. Cause it has a sort of cliffhanger and finally things start to heat up between Rory and Jess. In a really sweet way. I know the horror isn't really...........scary, but this story turned out different than I wanted so...........sorry! Thanks for reading anyway!!! :-)
*~*~*:-)*~*~*Bye, smile :-)
Rory found herself standing at the edge of the cemetery. She didn't know why or how she had ended up here. But now that she was here, all she wanted was to go back to the house and crawl back into her bed. The cemetery seemed a lot scarier now that she was alone, al alone. Nothing could be heard except for the howling of the wind and the rustle of the leaves, as they shivered in the cool air. It was dark, darker than before.
Rory slowly walked towards one of the tombstones. She kneeled down in front of it and ran her fingers over the name, that was engraved in the stone. Another teen, a boy this time. And he had died at the sad and young age of 16. Rory felt like crying. She wanted to shed tears for the early deaths of these teens. She prayed that their souls had found peace in another place. One tear slid down Rory's cheek and fell upon the dark earth of the grave. She lowered her gaze to the ground and ran her hands over the dark earth, causing the palm of her hands to become covered with it. But she didn't care, after all it didn't matter. All that mattered right now was the truth. The truth about this island and the truth about these teens, that were eternally asleep. And unlike in fairy tales, no prince would be able to wake them up, with one kiss from his mouth.
An image of Snow White, lying in a glass coffin entered her mind. She, did indeed open her eyes when the handsome prince kissed her. Rory looked around the burial ground, resting her gaze on every tombstone and saying a silent prayer. Suddenly she heard the screaming again, only this time she heard it in her mind. It sounded like the cry of a young girl..........one of these teens. What was her name ? Rory scanned the graveyard and stopped at one of the tombstones. Marilyn. Soon, another scream joined Marilyn's and again she searched for the name of the person it belonged too. Suddenly there were more screams, but some of them weren't screaming. Some of them were asking her to help them. So, that was exactly what Rory did, help.
She started to claw at the grave in front of her, digging until her hands were covered with dirt and ached. She kept digging for hours, two of her nails had torn, but she ignored the pain. She focused on helping these boys and girls. Finally she stopped digging. There was nothing, absolutely nothing. No coffin, no bones, nothing but dirt. Rory got up, confused, but determined and started to head for another one of the graves. But she stopped dead in her tracks. There they were again, the dark figures that had forced them to run earlier. Rory wanted to stay and ask questions, but she was too afraid. So she ran as fast as her feet would allow. Once she reached the house, she tried the door, but it was locked. Which was impossible, cause none of the doors had locks. She started banging on the door, screaming for someone to open the door. But when she heard the footsteps, she knew it was too late. A hand covered her mouth..........
Rory slowly opened her eyes, the images of the dream still fresh in her head. She could still feel the hand covering her mouth. Then she realized that the reason she could still feel the hand so clearly on her mouth, was because someone was indeed covering her mouth. Rory wanted to scream, but it came out muffled and unclear.
J: ''Rory, it's me.''
Rory brought her gaze up and met Jess' honorable eyes. Rory pushed his hand away and sat up straight.
R: ''God, Jess. Don't do that again............ever !''
Jess put his finger on her lips and nodded.
J: ''Okay, I'm sorry. I just didn't wanna wake the others up.''
R: ''And you couldn't think of anything else to wake me up ?''
Jess lowered his hand and smirked.
J: ''Throwing cold water over your face was my second option.''
R: ''Did you ever think of just saying my name or something ?''
J: ''Now where's the fun in that........Mary.''
Rory shot him a dirty look.
R: ''Don't start. Now, was there a point to waking me up ?''
J: ''Yeah, I wanted to show you something, come on.''
Jess headed for the door, but stopped when Rory didn't follow him.
J: ''Oh wait, I forgot to say that by come on, I meant get up and come with me.''
Rory rolled her eyes.
R: ''What do you wanna show me ?''
Jess sighed.
J: ''I just found some of Tristan's porn magazines and I want to show them to you.''
Rory grimaced, which made Jess smirk.
R: ''Gross, you don't really read those things, do you ?''
She got up and walked over to him.
J: ''Ror, I'm a 17 year old guy, do the math. Follow me.''
Jess left the room, not waiting to see if Rory was behind him or not.
R: ''Gross !''
Jess smiled as Rory came into the living room, with a look of disgust on her face.
R: ''Tell me you're kidding ?''
J: ''Will that make you feel better ?''
R: ''No, but at least that way I can force myself to stand next to you, instead of on the other end of the room.''
J: ''Fine, I was lying.''
R: ''Thank you.''
Rory walked over to him with a satisfied smile on her face. One, that made Jess almost forget about his discovery.
R: ''So, what do you wanna show me ?''
J: ''This.''
Jess walked over to one of the large tropical plants and pushed the leaves aside, to reveal a small camera. Rory gasped.
R: ''Is that.............''
Jess nodded.
J: ''A camera.''
R: ''Are there more ?''
Jess nodded again.
J: ''They're placed all over the house. From the kitchen to the bedrooms. Hidden behind plants mostly. I even found one placed behind the bathroom mirror.''
R: ''You have to get a hobby.''
Jess shot her a look.
R: ''So, what now ?''
J: ''Go back to sleep and forget about it.''
R: ''Is that your way of telling me that we should wake the others ?''
Jess shrugged.
J: ''That was my second option.''
T: ''Hey guys.''
Both Rory and Jess turned around, surprised to see Tristan up so early.
R: ''What are you doing up ?''
Tristan smirked.
T: ''I was getting enough of dreaming about you Mary, so I decided to come and get the real thing.''
R: ''You must still be dreaming, cause that will only happen in your dreams.''
T: ''Every night Mary.''
Rory rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.
T: ''So, what are you guys doing ? And is that a camera ?''
Jess nodded.
J: ''I found them throughout the entire house, hidden.''
T: ''Obviously.''
R: ''We were just about to wake the others and figure out what to do next.''
T: ''Hey, wasn't Mr. Black supposed to come ?''
R: ''When we were out of food, yeah.''
T: ''Well, we're almost out of food, so maybe.............''
R: ''Maybe he's coming today !?''
Jess shrugged.
J: ''That's possible. We could go to the beach and wait.''
T: ''I'll go.''
R: ''Yes.''
T: ''What was that Mary ?''
R: ''Nothing.''
Tristan smirked as he ran a hand through his hair.
T: ''If you want me, just say so.''
R: ''I think the beach's calling you.''
T: ''And I think you're body is calling me.''
He grinned at her and winked.
T: ''I'll be at the beach if anyone needs me.''
R: ''Take your time.''
Rory closed the door behind Tristan and sighed. There was something about Tristan that could make her so antagonized. He always had some remark to throw back at her and since she couldn't resist saying something hurtful to him, that he would always turn into something charming, their banters could go on for hours. Yet, she didn't mind. In the right time and place she would have actually enjoyed their banter. It was part of the way they communicated, of their daily ritual. She turned around and bumped into Jess.
R: ''Sorry.''
J: ''You know, nowadays people use their eyes, so this won't happen.''
Rory shifted her gaze up and locked eyes with him. His eyes stood amused. Rory smiled as she noticed the small changes in his features. His eyes were a shade lighter than they usually were. His eyes were actually quite extraordinary. Just looking in them, made her feel like he wanted to know everything about her, every secret, every lie. And his lips were slightly curved in a crooked smirk. There was something playful about it, as if he had just witnessed one of her most embarrassing moments. She dropped her gaze from his eyes to his lips. She wanted to feel them on her skin. She wanted him to kiss her. It didn't matter where. Just as long as she could find out if his kiss would make her weak in the knees and if it could make her toes curl with pleasure. But she couldn't. She took a step back and gently brushed past him.
But as soon as she had past him, she could feel his fingers lock themselves around her wrist. He gently pulled her towards him and turned her around to face him. He saw her frown and smiled. She hadn't expected this.
J: ''Why ?''
Rory met his eyes.
R: ''What ?''
J: ''Why didn't you kiss me ?''
Rory lowered her eyes and he watched in adoration as a faint blush crept upon her face.
R: ''Cause...........''
Rory bit her lip and carefully brought her eyes up to meet his.
R: ''Cause you just broke up with Shane a couple of days ago and.............I don't know, it just seems wrong. I mean, she isn't as horrible as I thought she was.''
Jess nodded. Why didn't he think of that ? This was Rory after all. And she would go out of her way to make people happy and feel good about themselves. Including Shane......... Jess pulled her even closer and brought his lips closer to hers.
R: ''Jess............''
He briefly met her eyes.
J: ''Shane won't care.''
R: ''But.........''
Before she could finish her sentence, Jess' lips were already covering hers. He entwined his hands with hers and pulled them close to his chest. The kiss was slow and gentle. Jess didn't force her to part her lips and he resisted the temptation when she did. This was just their first after all. When the kiss ended, Rory opened her eyes and looked at Jess. Their lips were only inches apart, yet he didn't make any attempt to kiss her again. And this made Rory smile and realize even more how much she cared about him. He might not be the nicest or the most talkative person around, but it didn't matter. All that mattered to her was his patience with her and the way he actually listened to her when she talked. That was all she wanted.
R: ''I have to wake the others.''
She let go of his hands and placed them around his neck. She hugged him and brought her mouth to his ear.
R: ''Thank you.''
After that she let go and went to wake the others.
Jess smirked as he watched her leave the room. Her hug had just as much affect on him as their kiss. It was a feeling almost impossible to describe. It made him feel warm inside and he couldn't help but smirk. It was like a kiss on a rainy day. Everything and more that he needed.
As soon as everyone was in the living room, Jess showed them the camera and told them that they were hidden all over the house. He told them about Tristan going to the beach, but no one seemed to be listening. Shane was rambling about how there was one in the bathroom, while Paris on the other hand started to talk about no one having respect for people's privacy these days. Rory listened patiently while she told her all this, rolling her eyes every now and then when Paris wasn't looking.
Suddenly the door opened and Tristan came in, dragging a man with him.
R: ''Uhm.....Tristan ?''
Tristan shot them a look over his shoulder as he dragged the man inside.
*R*E*V*I*E*W*! Please :-) Personally I think this is a poor excuse for a chapter, short and stuff. Sorry, but at least it had a sweet R/J moment. Please check out chapter 8 of 'Ace of Hearts' if you haven't yet. (There's something strange about Dean) Thanks again for the reviews!!! :-)
