Chapter 10:
"Andy, I'm positive we can find all of the spices and food. Now go there's not enough room." My mom harassed Andy as he tried to show her where everything is. Both my parents had persuaded the Ackerman/ Simon residents to go out to eat and enjoy a family meal for one night before it becomes one with 6 more people. After another ten minutes of my mom and Andy arguing the gang left.
My dad let out a sigh of relief and went to the kitchen to start cooking. My mom headed towards the window, waiting for her babies to arrive. Joe went to help dad while peter napped and Dave played video games in the living room. I was going to go to my old room and start a new sewing project but Jesse had another idea.
When I got to my room Jesse was pacing back and forth muttering about how some guy is evil and how Suze could ever trust him. I let him pace three more times before I cleared my throat. He looked up running his hands through his hair. "Rachel, come here we need to talk."
He sat in the window seat and I sat opposite facing him. "Susannah," great one more person to keep up on their love life, "has been troubled by this boy who also has your special gift. I don't' want you to get caught up in all of this too so you are to stay away from him."
"A name would be nice to know Jesse." He ran a hand through his hair, and then took both of my hands in his.
"His name is Paul Slater. He goes to your school so he will not be a stranger. Yet you still must never talk to him, do you understand me?" I nodded giving him a curios look. Jesse just sighing giving my hand a squeeze. As if to reassure that I was there, "now as I saying he shares the same gift" I snorted "as you and Susannah. Only he calls himself a shifter." I snorted again shifter? If you're going to try to act cooler then mediators then at least get a better name. Jesse frowned at my un- lady like conduct but continued. "He was able to teach Susannah these new ways to deal with ghost through a deal. Now she is unhappy with it and I will not see you going through the same thing. I can not make her go back from the deal she made but I can stop you from this pain."
I gave him a look that said what-am-I-suppose–to-do but he wouldn't look up from our hands. After a few minutes of him juts looking at my hands I spoke up. "So... what?"
He looked up with a pained expression and continued. "I can not control what she does but I can make sure both of you are safe." He got up and started to pace the room almost as if he was telling me the biggest secret on the world.
"How?" I said as I stretched my legs out on the window seat watching him with a curious expression.
"By......," he stopped as we heard four motorcycles pull up in the drive way. My mother squealed with delight and I heard the old front door slam shut after she ran out. Random sayings of hi was heard across the front lawn. I turned towards the door ready to greet my brothers when Jesse grabbed my upper arm stopping me.
"Jesse I have to go," I said tugging my arm away from him.
"You will wait till I am done talking to you. Slater is dangerous, he isn't some one you juts brush aside when you want."
"And I won't but right now he's not here to give me trouble. Yet my brothers are and they can give me trouble." I gave my arm one final pull still my arm was not free from papas grasp. I sighed. "Jesse we can finish this tonight just please, I haven't seen them in forever and you know I love them." Now it was his turn to sigh.
He let go of my arm and I ran towards the door. He started to mutter something and then materialized in front of me. "I warn you now though, always look straight into his eyes, and if you don't it is easier for him to control your mind." OK mental note: always look into yes so don't' get..... Wait.....
"He can what?" An evil look came into Jesse's eyes.
"Susannah has informed me a few days ago when she went to those lessons Slater started to control her mind, she did something that she refuses to tell me," so you won't kill Paul I thought "But she learned that she must always look him in the eye. Also that bastardo said something about hurting her now or something with her family. Now do you see why I don't' want you to get involved?" Her family... they can't see ghost they wouldn't even know what would happen if something did happen to them. Ugh I already hate this guy.
