Chapter 14: The Setup

The Next Day

Marie had woken up dreading what she had to do that day and had headed off for school after throwing on a pair of jeans and a red half shirt. She was currently sitting on the roofs edge of the school looking down at all the students gathering below. She knew she was going to have to talk to Todd today. She sat there carefully watching for him.

Unknown to Marie a very familiar person was slinking around the school grounds. Chase was standing in the shadows of the building he couldn't be seen by Marie. So he began his mission. He was laid back against the brick wall of the school building. He seemed very smooth and of course he was handsome which was an ace up his sleeve. Each girl that would pass him would stare and if it was a group of them they'd quickly start chattering. Finally the girl Chase was most interested in was passing by. "Hey pretty lady." He winked at her.

The girl was none other than Emily. She turned with a grin on her face. "You talken to me hot stuff?" She approached him slowly.

"You're the only 'woman' I see in this ocean of girls." He continued his smooth talk as he stayed leaning against the building his tail flickering from side to side. "Forgive me if it's to forward but I find you very attractive."

"Oh it's not forward at all." Emily answered as she stood directly in front of him now. She put one hand to the wall right by his neck and she leaned closer still. "I find it quit appealing when a man confesses his feelings."

"Then you won't mind this." He pushed his lips to hers and brought her body to his. When he finally released her she was left breathless. "Want more?" He asked.

"You're a mind reader I see." She said as she smiled a dirty grin.

"Fine but there's a price for it." He trusted her against the wall and nuzzled her neck.

"Okay I'll buy it what do you want?" She asked. This guy was a dream he was right out with it and Emily liked that she was addicted to sexual affairs such as this and to have a guy do it to her for once was more than she could imagine.

"You know a boy named Todd a white echidna red striped dreads?" He was looking her in the eye now.

"Yes I know Todd but why do you care about him?" Emily was rather curious at this point.

"All you have to do to get me is kiss him." Chases eyes were slightly closed as he smiled and then kissed her neck. "Can you do that?"

"And that's all you want me to do?" Emily questioned.

"Yes that and don't ask why." He said as he backed up off of her. "You see that spot right over there?" He was pointing to an open grassy area that was in plain sight for Marie. Emily nodded. "When Todd reaches that spot I want you to run up and just get as dirty with him as you can right there." He took her by the arm and pulled her up against his body once more. "And then you can do with me as you please." He then ran from her and disappeared around the corner of the building.

Marie was still waiting for Todd to arrive. At last she saw him coming. She stood up prepared to confront him. Suddenly she couldn't move her body was lifted slightly off of the ground. "Chase." She turned her head to look over her shoulder and she saw him standing there. He came up behind her and released his mental hold on her body only to re-contain her in a physical embrace.

"I know you're mind isn't made up." Chase spoke softly with a great since of understanding or so it seemed.

"What are you talking about Chase?" Marie questioned as she felt his grip loosen on her.

"You don't know what to do…and I'm afraid that you love him."

"Chase you're not making sense." Marie was starting to worry did he know about Todd.

Chase turned her around so that she was facing the grounds. "That boy over there he was the one I saw you with last night." He was pointing to Todd. "I know you have affection for him…but does he care for you in return?"

Marie hadn't answered. Todd had reached the setup area and with in the next second Emily had sprinted up to him and locked him into a very deep French kiss and her arms were around his neck. Marie gasped and suddenly turned away from the sight. She looked up at Chase and suddenly through herself into his arms. "Chase…" She was crying now. "I'm sorry I left you…I thought there was someone else but now I…I." She didn't even finish the sentence Marie just had her face berried in the thick black fur on his chest.

"I'll take you away from this Marie I can't stand your pain it feels as if it were my own." His body and hers began to rise from t he ground and the school was fading into the distance as he took her away. She resisted not in the least she was far to upset to care.

Todd struggled against Emily and pushed her off of him and onto the ground. "Emily what do you think you're doing?" Todd yelled.

"I did what you should have done a long time ago. I'll have you someday just wait." She got up from the ground and ran.

Todd was infuriated he thought he would come close to strangling Emily. He went through the day still disgusted by the incident but what bothered him even more was that he hadn't seen Marie at all and he hadn't seen her since last night either why was she always missing what was she doing and most importantly in Todd's mind who was she with?
