Here it is. The promised, early/quick update. I hope y'all are satisfied. To all those that reviewed, thanks bunches. If I knew you personally, I would send y'all fruit baskets. And onto the next chapter.
Disclaimer: Yep, still own nothing.
Chapter 5:
Alex sat on his bed, absentmindedly strumming his guitar. The meeting at the Crashdown had gone better than the previous one. However, not everyone (meaning Michael) had agreed that this girl wasn't human.
'Every time this girl comes, I get more confused. Why me? What's so special about me?' Alex thought. 'Though, the upside is that Isabel is finally noticing me. Regardless of the circumstances, that is always good.'
Alex turned his attention to his guitar, plucking out a few chords, on the idea that he could write a song for Isabel.
Alex was thoroughly engrossed in the beginnings of his song that he failed to notice the soft knocking at his bedroom window. It was by pure luck, that he stopped his song and looked out his window. He was startled by what he saw.
The girl was standing outside of his window, knocking lightly on the glass. She once again looked different, as had become the norm. This time, she had alabaster skin, with freckles across a tiny nose, and short red hair, that was slightly flared out. When she saw him looking at her, she stopped knocking and stood there, staring at him with the eyes that never changed.
Alex got up, set down his guitar, and walked across the room. Surprisingly, she didn't disappear as he got closer. He opened his window and looked her in the eyes.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?" Alex asked.
She looked at him, sadness sweeping across her face.
"You don't know me, do you?" she asked. Her voice was unlike anything Alex had ever heard before. It was like bells, an Irish flute, and the wind all at the same time.
"Should I?"
"I thought, perhaps, you would, but now that I realize you don't, I am hardly surprised."
"What does that mean? Who are you?"
"I need to speak to you Alex. It's very important, but I cannot speak here. I will see you in your dreams, then we can talk," she finished, reaching up and touching his cheek, before turning around and walking away.
"Wait! What do you mean in my dreams? When is this going to happen?" Alex called after her.
She stopped and turned back to look at him. "Soon," was all she said, then she disappeared.
Alex looked at the spot where she had been for a while, before making motions to close his window. He stopped when he noticed on the windowsill, another constellation. The glittering lights formed Orion, the hunter, and once again they disappeared at the touch of his fingers.
'That was weird. At least now I know she is looking for me. What did she mean that I should know her? I'm sure I would remember girl like her. And that stuff about my dreams, is she going to dream walk me or something? This is really getting weird,' thought Alex as put away his guitar and got ready for bed, suddenly very tired. He wasn't sure if he was actually tired or if he just wanted to see the girl in his dreams.
Well, here it is, chapter five. Please review and I apologize for its shortness. I guess that means a quick update is inevitable, doesn't it? Thanks for reading and I'll talk to you next chapter!
