Update time! Thanks to my reviewers! And of course to Mimi-Lee! Love ya Mrs Slater(hater)!
"Susannah?" I felt someone poking me. I pushed their hands away. "Jesse, quit it!"I heard him sigh out of relief. "Thank God, you weren't moving before." I sat up to see Jesse staring down at me. He helped me up. I looked around to where we were. I had been here before.
Fog. That's all you could see. Just fog.
I knew those doors had nothing behind them that would help me. "What happened?" Jesse came closer to me. His face was pale. Mercy was still clinging to him. "Slater, pushed us off. So I grabbed you and Mercedes and did the only thing I could think of." And I'm guessing that was shifting to this living...well...you know.
I sighed and sunk down to the ground. The fog clinging to me. "Querida." I felt Jesse's hand go around me. "Susannah, we've delt with worse before. This will just be like all those times before." I nodded and rested my head against him. But I had a feeling that this wasn't going to be like all those times I had cheated death (literally) before. I had a feeling that this would be much much worse.
"Zorro, we've got to get out of here." He looked up at his sister and nodded. We grabbed hands and closed our eyes. The next thing I knew, we were in Jesse's living room.
"We can't split up. He'll find one of us." Jesse nodded and agreed that we would all stay over at his apartment. So, I called my mom and told her I was over at Cee's because I didn't think she'd sit to well with her 17-year old daughter staying the night at her 20 year old boyfriend's place. Yes he is a gentleman, but she didn't know that. Okay, sorry. Back to the story!
The next morning, Jesse dropped us off at the Mission. Surprisingly, Paul wasn't there.
"Susannah Simon, please come to the Principal's office."
I walked in to see Father Dom glaring at me. "Susannah, would you like to tell me how the bascilla's wall was almost completly destroyed?" I sighed and sat in the chair in front of his desk. Jesse was right. Jesse was always right.
"I have no idea what you're talking about Father D." His glare darkened. "Okay, fine." And I told him everything. Paul, the visions and how I had almost died. My very long speech ended to meet a very long pause.
"Susannah, I too regained my memory last night. Was Jesse or Mercedes hurt?" I shook my head and said, "No, well, Paul cut Mercy's cheek pretty deeply, and Jesse and I have a few cuts and brusises but other than that, no."
"Good. Come by my office tomorrow morning. We'll call Mr Slater in." I almost screamed at that response.
"Father Dom, I love ya. You know that. BUT ARE YOU INSANE? He almost killed me! AND my boyfriend! AND my boyfriend's little sister! I am not going to-"
"Susannah, no. You will hide, I will talk to him. Do you really think I would put you in danger like that?"
"No."
"Good, now you had better get off to class."
My day went on like any other. Boring, pointless and useless. Untill after school, I got a little visitor.
She was tall, and had medium length dark brown hair. She also had extremely dark eyes, darker than Jesse's even, that were behind her glasses.
"Can I help you?"
"Are you the Mediator?" I nodded. "Good. I need your help."
We went back to my house. I sat on the window seat that Jesse used to sit on so much. "So what's your name?"
"Katherine." She sat down beside me. "Okay, do you know how you died?" She nodded. "Do you want to tell me?" She shook her head. "Katerine-
"Kat."
"-Kat, we aren't going to get anywhere if you don't tell me how you died!"
She sighed. "You know Paul Slater?"
I nodded. Boy, did I know him.
"What about him?"
She told me how she was going to school back in Seattle to be a writer. That's what she always wanted to be. How she had met Paul, and they fell in love. But, then he started to change. Becoming more possesive of her. She broke up with him. He was scaring her.
"Kat?" She started crying. I put my arm around her.
"Suze, he killed me."
"WHAT?" I nearly fell off the window seat.
"Paul Slater killed me."
Then, I did fall out of the window seat.
So...what did you think? Now, hit that little button!
