Chapter 6 (Shadowland)

The night of the Hospital incident. I did what needed to be done. I went to excorcise Heather as last resort. I did exactly what I did last time. I sneaked out of my room, got the bike and went down the the mission. It was dark and quiet. There was no moon and hardly any stars. It was pitch black. I entered the school the same way I did last time. I know what your thinking: Why the hell don't I just shift her there? Shadowland gives mr major wiggins. I avoid that place like the aplgue, I onlty shift if I'm about to you know…die.

I walked down the hall, slinging my bag over my shoulder. Heather materialized right infront of my eyes.

"Hello, bitch" she greeted me oh-so-nicely.

"It's nice to see you too"I said sarcastically. Heather sarted shaking things.

"Woah! Down girl!" I yelled.

"Why should I?" she screamed.

"Because I found a way to make you alive again" I lied. The ground stopped shaking abruptly.

"Wh-hat did you say! You can make me alive again" Heather looked so happy, I felt almost bad for her. Keyword is almost.

Heather giggled and squirmed throught the whole incantation which made me very annoyed. I sighed. A portal opened and Heather was sucked into it, wailing and screaming that I had betrayed her; Unfortunately, there are side effects of this. The statue of that dude was blown up and so was that breezeway. I tried to run but my leg was trappped and it hurt like hell; Blood was running down my leg. Suddnely, the last person I wanted to see materialized.

Paul.

He stood there, smirking. I glared at him, trying to wedge my leg out. After a few minutes of laughing, he bent down and gently removed what was pinning my leg down. My wound was really bloody and gross. I wrinkled my nose in disgust but Paul fingered it lightly, causing it ti sting. I whinced. He helped me up and let me lean against him. On the way back we didn't speak. To any one watching it would looking weird, an injured girl slumping against well, nothing and a bike rolling by itself.

When we got up to my room, Paul bandaged me up. It was awkward, him touching my bare thigh.He patched things up pretty nicely.

"Suze" his voice was soft "Go to sleep"

"Thank you" I whispered. I went into the bath room, put a pair of boxers on and a white tank top. I brushed my teeth and slumped against my pillow. I fell asleep with Paul at my side.

A/N: I added a little bit of Paul's POV

I sat and wached her sleep. Damn, even in boxers and a tank top she looked sexy. Her long hair was sprawled all over her pillow. She had dark circles around her eyes. I walked over to the window seet and slumped against it. I was remembering what it felt like to touch her naked thigh. God, I wanted her right now. I rested my head and closed my eyes.

A/N: Jesse will appear very soon. No worries.
