True Love
Chapter 5(Posession)
Odd woke up this morning feeling a bit restless. He hadn't forgot about last night, he felt guilty for what he did to Sam, everything he had said was a lie. He loves her but he doubts that they can be together again, she cheated on him once and he doesn't want to get hurt a second time around. Now that he has a girlfriend it just makes things a whole lot worse, he likes Madeline but he doesn't love her. "I' guess I'm dating her because I'm trying to rid my love for Sam, but it's not working, why did I have to fall in love with her, Odd said thinking to himself.
"No one really knows why they fall in love, it just happens, lets just say fate has brought you to together", a voice in Odds mind said. (Now he's hearing voices, don't we all!) "
I don't love her, why can't you leave me alone, Odd said to the voice in his head.
"For starters stop denying it, you can't escape from the truth, it will haunt you for the rest of your life, until you accept the truth, only then will I leave you in peace"
"What, what is there to accept, what are you talking about,"Odd replied pleading for an answer!
"You know what I'm talking about, but since your a little slow in the head I will tell you, your looking for love in all the wrong places, open your eyes and your mind, don't let the love of your life slip away, if you do, you will regret your decision."
"I can't love her, she cheated on me, why can't I forget about her," Odd responded in frustration.
"Why, because you love her you idiot, do I have to repeat myself again, she cheated on you yes, but did you give her a chance to explain her mistake, no you didn't, you let your anger get the best of you, even you said that we all make mistakes, and we can learn from them so we don't make them again, are you gonna go back on your words, relationships can be fixed but its up to you to make it happen."
The voice was right he did say that and he can't go back on his word, he knows what he has to do and must act fast before its too late.
"But how will I tell her, what should I say," Odd asked confused as ever.
" I gave all the advice that I can give you, the rest is up to you to figure out, but I will tell you this, speak to her from the heart, good luck my friend," the voice said as it faded away.
Odd was more confused than ever, he never got a straight answer, its up to him to make things right.
Just around the same time Odd was getting up, Sam was up and heading for the girls showers. Lucky for her no one was in line since she got up early, she headed in to get washed up. She turned on the water and enjoyed the feeling of the water touching her body. Just as she was finishing up a black shadow came out of the shower head and went right after Sam. The shadow enters through her ear, Sam fell onto the ground trying to fight off whatever is posessing her but she couldn't resist any longer, she had an evil smile on her face as the symbol of Xana in her eyes.
Odd walked out the door of the boys showers, he walked down the hallway to go back to his dormroom. Just as he was near his and Ulrich's dormroom, Sam had just walked by. "Hey Odd sleep okay," Sam asked Odd.
"She seems all cheery today, I'm surprised she's all happy especially about what happened last night," Odd thought to himself. "Um, yeah I guess, are you okay," he responded back. She nodded. Well here she is talking to me, I guess now is the best time to tell her how I feel about her. "I need to talk to you." She nodded again. They both entered his dormroom lucky for him Ulrich wasn't in it. Odd sat down on his bed and Sam joined him. "So what do you need to talk about?", she said.
There was no turning back now, he found enough courage and told her. "I'm sorry for what I said last night, I was wrong. We both made mistakes and we should learn from them. When I dumped you, it was the worst mistake of my life. I got depressed, wouldn't eat, couldn't sleep, I felt empty without you. I need you Sam, I guess I didn't realize it until now, Odd said looking at her face to face.
"What are you trying to say Odd, she replied still confused. " What I'm trying to say is that I still love you and I want to be with you, " Odd said back. Sam still looked confused, but then a smile grew on her face, but not in a good way.
"Oh now you want to be with me. You expect me to take you back, well forget it. I made a mistake alright, the mistake was being with you, I never loved you, I was using you the whole time, just so I can get all the things I want, you are so naive proves how much intelligence you have. I can never love someone like you, especially someone who is scrawny and with no brains, she said in a cold hearted voice.
Odd on the other hand couldn't believe what he was hearing, she was using him the whole time. When she said that she loved him, all the moments and feelings they shared were all a lie.
"So your telling me that all the moments, feelings and kisses we shared were all lies, they meant nothing to you," he said sadly. She gave him an evil smirk. "Wow you are so smart," she replied sarcastically. He didn't know what to say he sure wasn't expecting the answers he got. Odd thought this was what Sam wanted but now he is more confused and hurt as ever.
"I understand, I'm sorry that I hurt you, I guess we have to move on, Odd said heartbroken. She then glared at him. "There never was any real feelings between us get it through your thick head." Right then and there she lifted her hand and slapped him across the left cheek.
"That felt good, I hope that shows you the light, she responded. Then she walked away leaving Odd to sulk. "That will make things interesting, so many lives to ruin so little time to do it in," Sam said posessed by Xana. Suddenly a black fog came out of Sam's mouth(which is Xana) and disappeared through the wall. Sam collapsed to the ground with a thud. Luckily Odd was there to see it happen as he approached her. "Sam are you okay, say something," Odd cried out. He picked her up from the ground and carried her bridal style to the infirmary.
The shadow of Xana made its way to Yumi's dormroom.(Yumi is a boarder student, her parents and her brother Hiroki went back to Japan just in case I didn't mention that earlier in the story) It managed to make its way through the crack of her dormroom door, she didn't notice since she was reading a book and sitting at her computer desk. Her gut feeling told her she was being watched so she turned around, before she could react the black shadow entered her right ear. She kept fighting try to keep her sanity, she was successful as it exited her body, not long after that it went back in her trying another attempt. She fought the good fight but she was too weak to resist any longer, Xana got full control over her.
At The Infirmary
Odd sat next to Sam on the bed wating for her to wake up. He had alot on his mind, why did Sam say the things she said, did she really mean that she was never in love with Odd in the first place? Slowly her eyes began to open, she looked around trying to figure out where she is, then she noticed Odd right next to her. She smiled at him.
"Odd," she said aloud as she wrapped her arms around Odd's neck and pulled him into a hug, Odd was confused at her affection but returned the hug nonetheless. He was confused, first she hates him and now she hugs him and is glad to see him, he was more consfused then ever."Um, what am I doing here, she muttered . "You passed out in the hallway back at the dorm, why are you so happy to see me, half hour ago you said you hate me," Odd responded to her. She looked at him dumbfounded, she didn't remember any of the events that took place.
" What are you talking about, I never said that, she replied. He couldn't believe she was denying what happened. " You said it plain as day, is this some kind of joke? She started to get angry. "I was going to ask you the same thing, the only thing I can remember was taking a shower and the next thing I know I wake up here, she said sincerely. He was skeptical of her answer but she seemed to be telling the truth. "Are you sure you don't remember us fighting? She looked at him straight in the eye. "No Odd I don't, I'm not lying, she responded.
He decided to refresh her memory. "We were fighting about how we felt about each other," he said but continued. " You said you never had any feelings for me, that our love was all a lie, and you used me, he finished. She was confused, she never said that to him, but she didn't know she was being controlled by Xana. She sighed and looked at him. "I don't remember saying that, and if I did it was all lies, I can never use you, all my love for you was all real, and I still feel the same way even if you don't want to be with me," she answered back.
Odd sighed. He loves her and he knows that they are meant to be together, and he knows what he has to do. He took took his hands in hers. She was confused and didn't know what to do. " I love you Sam, everything I said was wrong, we should be together, I love you and I will never stop loving you," he said. He gave her a smile as he leaned towards her as his lips gently touched her soft lips. Sam was shocked, she did not expect this, but she couldn't fight the feeling and returned his kiss. The kiss went deeper as their tongues did battle. They kissed for at least a minute but for them it seem like an eternity. "Why Odd, don't you remember what I did to you, I cheated on you, I don't deserve you, " she replied. She put her head down not want him to see her tears. Odd lifted her head so he could see her face. "Why, because I love you and nothing will change that, and you love me, I know you cheated on me, that's in the past, he said but continued. "I forgive you Sam, and I want to be with you, but it's up to you Sam, will you be my girlfriend again and start over?
She was took back by that, she didn't know what to say, but she knew that she wants to be with him and the answer was pure simple. "Yes I'll be your girlfriend again, she said with tears down her cheeks. She hugged him as she pull him into a deep passionate kiss. Odd was happy again, he was back with his true love again. They broke away from thier kiss."Come on we should tell the others the good news, Odd muttered as he got up and extended his hand to Sam. She took it and got up. But before they could leave the door swatted open. It was Yumi, she had the symbol of Xana in her eyes.
"Yumi," Odd responded with a bit of fear in his eyes. She swatted Odd against to wall and knocked him out. Xana-Yumi then grabbed Sam's hand. "What are you doing, Odd help, she cried. But he didn't respond. Xana-Yumi gave her an electric shock and knocked her out so she couldn't make anymore noise, and picked her up and carried her on her shoulderas shewalked out with her.
"Sam," Odd muttered as he was slowly gaining consciousness. He knows now that Xana was behind everything that happened earlier, he had to warn the others. But what does Xana want with Sam? Odd ran out of the infirmary to find Ulrich and Jeremie.
