Michael is Back

A/N:  I know I know I know, I haven't updated in goddess knows how long of a time, *sigh*, forgive me…..anyways, *ducks flying objects*, I AM sorry that I didn't update and everything, but I can't help it, I know that about half a year has passed since my last update and you all want to kill me, but I figured that I might as well update since it is the Thanksgiving holiday and I do have a tiny bit of free time.  I was terrible busy the last bit of summer, I went on vacation, moved, and so many other things so I didn't have time once school started to update this fic, although I do admit that I DID update some of my other ones, *turns red*.  Anyways, why I didn't update even though it was this poor fic's turn to be updated…..it was the end of the semester *waves hands in the air*, so sue me, I was sooo busy.  I was up to 2 AM on school days and I hadn't any time to spare for the fan fic.  Then, just when everything was slowing down, along comes a cold.  I was trying to recover asap.  Then after that, well, I just needed to relax, I was so tired all the time….I needed the break, bad.  Unfortunately, that break was cut short by the STUPID TRIMESTER EXAMS!!!!   Omg, I HATE it!  But it's over, and I got such a bad grade, I KNEW I should have studied!  But I didn't, *pouts*, I was too busy reading Sufia's ICBW series….I almost ended up failing Chinese as it is.  After that I REALLY needed a break, but I didn't get one, or much of one, you see, I went into a j/k (tamora pierce stuff, you hafta read her books, she rocks) phase….then it was essay season….still is, as a matter of fact, but that's life.  So I am supposed to be editing my two essays that are due next class, one of which is eight pages long, double spaced, and not even, as of yet, finished, and I need to cut it down.  God, I have a LOT on my back.  Oh, and btw, all those things that I listed, well, they happed over the last two months…less.  Now, exams are coming up, I have a history test on Tuesday, a math test on Wednesday, one group essay, and I am partnered w/ a bunch of idiots, Monday, aka tomorrow, and another essay due on Tuesday.  Oh, and did I mention that exams are coning up?  And my sadistic PE teacher has a huge project due this Friday, and my idiotic band teacher is making us play for a concert, this Thursday, a piece that is five lines above high E.  I can't play it, no one else can play it, guess what she said…."I don't care if you can't play it, if you don't practice you'll never be able to play it, for all you know we are going to play it for the concert even if you can't play it."  Later on she confirms that we will play it regardless.  I told her I couldn't play it, I practice a LOT, and she says, "well maybe thirty minutes a day isn't enough, maybe you need to practice this piece one hour a day along with your other pieces."  Okay, that is so totally not fair!  I mean, that is about 1 hour 30 minutes a DAY!  That's, in a week, about twice as much as my teacher last year asked us to play in a whole MONTH!  This is not fair!  Okay, I feel better now, back to the story.  Omg, I wrote a whole page on this!  Lol, oops, I must be more stressed than I thought!  Oh well, sorry, I had a plan for this chapter but I kept on putting it off so I forgot what I was going to write for this chapter so it may be a little bit short and awkward!  Ideas are welcome.

Vote status as so far……

Suze/Jesse-10, wow, I never expected that

Suze/Paul-0…..people seem to hate him

Suze/Michael-1….sorry, I think that I would be killed if I did this

Remember people….you CAN vote more than once….I am limiting it to once a REVIEW though, *hint hint wink wink*, why not review twice one chapter?  Lol  *evil laugh*

Thank you everyone who voted, now, on with the story.

A/N:  no, I am not about to complain how life is so unfair anymore, I am just here to say, I FINALLY READ DARKEST HOUR AND HAUNTED!!!!!!!   Omg, they are so totally awesome, if you haven't read them yet then do so asap!  I finally know what paul is actually like, so I am going to change him, but since you would kill me if I had to change the earlier chapters I have decided to allow them to remain the same and just change from here on.  Only, after reading darkest hour and haunted I can't make Jesse evil either…..but w/e, I don't care, I finally go to read them….but I am changing things big time….

Omg, I forgot the disclaimer, I just realized when I went to my other fic to check something!  I am totally tired out, I need a break!  Me own plot, me no own suze, jesse, paul, the mediator series…hey, do you think cabot is going to change the name of the series since suze is now officially a shifter?

So ended the last chapter…. If such a unpredictably deadly thing is possible to prepare for…..

Oh how I wish I had listened to Father D when he told me to run away when I still had the chance….but I didn't, my chance to escape came and went. 

(A/N: sorry people, I don't think I am going to do anything meaningful this chapter….but…for the sake of my readers I am going to suffer…I hate this, and attempt some suze/Jesse fluff)

I trudged home, brad and david had left the moment they heard school was canceled and Adam had an appointment at the dentist so I couldn't obtain a ride from him, pondering my dilemma, and wondering how I was going to get myself out of it.  I thought about just exorcizing him, but then remembered how dangerous it could be….

Paul hadn't, in our shifter lessons, taught me how to exorcize a ghost without using chicken blood or going to the shadow land so I could scratch that out of my list.  There was no way that I would be able to Mikey to stand still long enough for me to exorcize him.

I sighed irritably before remembering a hot 150 year old ghost that happened to live in my room….before realizing that he no longer lived there and feeling more depressed then ever. 

It was a long road, and, although it wasn't as if I was wearing Jimmy Choos, it also wasn't as if Nike was gracing me with its presence.  I was wearing sandals and they were chafing my feet!

By the time I finally made it back I was cursing the day I thought that new shoes looked nice.  It wasn't as if I had mushroom feet, I didn't, it's just that my feet hurt really badly.

I was using some pretty bad language by the time that I had entered my room, but when I didn't hear Jesse tell me off I assumed that he wasn't there. 

That is, until I bumped into him.

That's right, he didn't tell me that ladies don't swear or some other corny motto of the 1850's, instead, he just mumbled a greeting.

Right away I knew that something was wrong. 

Instantly my eyes narrowed.  "Okay De Silvia, out with it, what is eating you?"

Jesse looked puzzled….and did I say that he is hot puzzled?  "eating me?"

I forced myself to roll my eyes and stop staring at him, but I didn't do a good job.  At not staring at him, I mean, "eating you, bugging you"  I opened my mouth to add on to that list of synonyms, but I just couldn't, who knew what was going to happen, last time he had been so awkward he….oh no, he…not again!  "what's the matter?"

Jesse flushed slightly, "it's about the kiss."  Turning deeper red when he said the word kiss.

I paled a great deal when he said this.  "wha-wha-wht do you me-mean?"  my voice turned squeaky and annoying again.

Jesse sighed, "we-e-ll….." drawing out that word longer than I though possible, and, if possible, turning redder than before…..

I felt like my world was dropping away around me and wanted nothing more than for my mom, or even my brothers to come rushing into the room calling me down for lunch.  I gasped out, almost hysterical, hyperventilating, "g-g-g-g-od j-je-jes-jesse, y-you ar-ren't br-reaking u-up with m-me, are you?"

Jesse looked shocked at the very thought of that, "never!  Querida, how could you THINK such a thing?!"  he folded his arms around me and drew me close to him, laying his head on top of mine.  And a sad sounding voice and a defeated slump of his shoulders he asked, hopelessly, "do YOU want us to…as you would say, stop being a thing?  Is that it?  Do you not want to date a ghost?"

Shocked, I almost broke out of Jesse's hold….note the word almost, his warmth and the sense of security and belonging emanating from him was too much for me, even in my state of shock, to willingly be parted from.  "are you insane!  I have been in love with you….well, for a long time!  I couldn't care less if you were a ghost or alive, what is the difference?  I mean, you can't take me to the mall, but so what, I mean, if you were alive could you help me with my ghost problems?  Could you walk through walls to save me?  I like you just fine the way you are." 

Okay, a small white lie, so sue me, it was totally worth it.  Jesse smiled and turned my head to look at him, "truly querida?" he queried, in a soft husky tone, his deep voice vibrating in his chest causing my to vibrate as well, as he lowered his head towards mine….

"truly."  Was all I had time to reply before his head lowered to cover mine. 

A/N:  I am so totally sorry my dear reviewers, but this whole entire time I was going ew ew ew ew ew in my head, squirming in my seat, and forcing myself to type.  My fingers were twitching and trying to pry themselves away from the keyboard, it was terrible, now they terribly ich.  I am sorry, but it was only with a great effort of will that I was able to write this.  I am going to have an even harder time getting myself to publish this.  There is NO way that I was going to go any farther, as it is I am going to be using a LOT of soap tonight!  Ugh, uck, sick gross.  I don't know how people can do this!

I had to take a long break before I could calm down enough from this terrible ordeal to type again, but here I am! 

And so passed the week. 

School was canceled due the it's being burnt and smashed.  They were going to re-build it, although it wouldn't be the same again, no longer adobe….well, they were going to keep it adobe, but no longer the original adobe. 

Father D was unconscious in the hospital and I had as of yet not gotten hold of him, and the only thing that I was sure of was that he was not dead.  They had found internal bleeding and wounds to his spine and skull.  They had operated on him but they were not sure if he was going to be alright, and he had not awaken since the injury was made. 

Paul, I had not had word from him for a long time….and I was worried, but not enough for me to leave the side of my ghostly boyfriend, and I didn't care enough about Michael to ask paul about it.  That was of course a big mistake, then again, so was ignoring the good father's warning.  If only I had had more foresight.

But that was what cause the whole mess, no foresight.

I was blind, love does that to you sometimes.  I was more interested in Jesse than I was of my life, but who could have blamed me? 

I had no homework so we spent all day cuddling on the window seat, and sometimes more than cuddling, if you get my drift….

I was happy and nothing could break my bubble.  Not even getting scratched my spike, Father D's injuries, nothing.  They say that love can protect you from the harshest truths of reality….maybe it isn't such a good thing. 

But still, even now I wonder if those moment with jesse, those happy golden moments, is worth the events that happened when I refused to head Father D's warnings. 

I wonder if those days of being with Jesse is worth the full force of Micheal's wrath without the help or protection of any of my friends.  Had I run he might not have had the time or the resources to do that to jesse….

Ha ha, cliffie, but not a major one, more of foreshadow…..but w/e, I am not going to dedicate this to anyone so too bad, lol.  Um, this is terrible, I know it.  It is to short, it sucks, etc, I am so totally sorry, it's just that I can't get anything good to come out.  I don't deserve all your wonderful reviews, and I did get wonderful reviews, that's the only reason that I ended up updating for in the end, and I don't deserve them.  Thatnks everyone who reviewed, sorry if I skip over you, but I just want you people to know that it was these reviews that kicked my off my hooha and got me to update, so thanks once again to my dear reviewers.   

TigerKitty-don't feel sorry for mikey, he doesn't deserve it, at least, not in this fic, you see, I made him rather insane…..thanks for the review!  You are my first reviewer!  Smiles broadly, thanks!  Please do review again!  I HATE it when people only review once, don't you?  Oh, and I agree, Amelia Atwater-Rhodes rules!  (I read your profile)

genies9-well, I'm not positive or anything, I mean, it IS so darn fun to annoy you with cliffies….lol…nope, I think that annoying you is 50% of the fun, lol!  Thanks for reviewing so much; I just don't feel like I deserve the attention, I don't think that my fic is good enough to warrant such attention!

Susana-well, thanks for the review, it's nice to know that people care about my fic, you're the third person to review, I feel so loved!

Em-thanks, but hey….suze and paul isn't that bad, I mean, if suze wasn't destined for jesse and all they would make a fine couple….*ducks kitchen knives aiming for her head*  keep on reviewing!

Ever-um, I suppose not, but hey, after you go to prison and live there until you are murdered….I think that may change your personality a bit.  Well, I don't particularly wish to be killed….and I don't think that people would take highly to that idea, however, feel free to do so yourself.  Michael is still, in a twisted way, in love with suze, but suze doesn't feel the same way, sorry Michael!  but please do still review, I love the input, and if you vote mikey enough…..well, remember the poll!

Bookgirl-okay, if you want me too, lol, as long as s/j wins the polls I will, keep on reviewing. 

Ezrajade-yeah, me neither, and that thing about Michael, I suppose  that I made him a little mean, I noticed it when I was writing, but like I said, my characters make me do that, it's not me, honestly *hides*.  Please do keep on reviewing, you gave me an excuse about why mikey is so nasty to everyone

Sitting dragon- you LIKE this fic?  What are you on?  J/k, but I hope that you still like this fic after the long wait and are going to review to this chapter too, I hate it when people only review once….  And cliffies aren't that bad….when I am the one who makes them, and gets reviews off them

Moonwitch1-hmm…I never cared who suze was paired with, but I suppose I can see why jesse is so great….keep those reviews coming!

Musicgirl141-thanks for the review, true, a short one, but a review none the less that is not a flame and that says that you like my fic, thanks for taking the time to review, and please continue to review, ^^

Fuyu kaisou- thanks for reviewing, I love them!  And I am glad to know that you love them too…although saying that you loved my story would also be nice…cough cough, although I suppose after THIS chapter NO ONE is going to even remotely LIKE my story anymore….please DO take the time to review!

DOJ-LAUREN!!!!! What are you doing here!  You like the mediator series too?  Wow, you could have knocked me over w/ a feather, *cough cough*, and what did I say about calling me amz?  Hm?  Was it something like I would decapitate you if you did so?  I would say that I am awaiting your reply, only, I dread that thought of your reading this…and if you must know, no, this was not easy or fun for me, like I said earlier, this chapter, which I ended up blotching, was purely for the readers, and very little of it…..oh shut up and stop smirking!  *throws something floor*  I do not think like that thank you very much!  I mean, w/e, if you say a word about this I am going to tear you into little pieces and….and…feed you to my brother's dead p-et cricket……although how that would hurt….a DEAD cricket….is beyond me….oh, and btw, the reason I was so shocked that you were here was, no offense or anything, *cough cough*, I thought that I was safe here!

monkeys-r-us- thanks, but flattery doesn't make me update faster, I know how terrible my fic is, no need to try to make me feel better, *sniff sniff*.  You know, it's not fair for some people, you reviewed 9days ago, some people reviewed 5 MONTHS ago, and you got the update the same day as they did, lol, poor them.  And thanks, glad to know that Michael, albeit an ooc one, is well portrayed.  Thanks for the review and please try to review my next chapter too…and sooner….and, did you ever review me before?  Your name is familiar…oh well…maybe I just read it when I was, out of boredum, reading someone else's wonderful reviews…..

I am completely sorry everyone for taking thirty days less than half a year (5 months and one day) to update this not so wonderful fic, and hope that my reviewers will not forsake me whilst new reviewer review me.  I was astounded by how many people reviewed to this fic, and I would like, for my next chapter, some ideas.  You see, I developed writers block for this story, not a major one, but bad enough that I forgot how I was going to do something…..

THRITEEN REVIEWS TO ONE CHAPTER!!!!!!!!  I LOVE YOU PEOPLE!!!!!!!!  MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE REVIEWS PLEASE GOOD READERS!!!!!!!1  or else I may wait even LONGER so that I might have enough reviews….

***************************************************************************************

could someone PLEASE give me an idea of how suze could be kidnapped by Michael?  there, I told you what was going to happen, be happy….ideas anyone?  Besides, that doesn't give away much, there is so much more to this story than that!
