Thank you, everyone, for reading The Hunted.
Infatuation:
Luke's pov.
The next day at school, I was surprised to find Ashley, Isaac, and Kira waiting for me. The moment I stepped out of my vehicle, the three of them waved at me to join them. The second I reached them, Kira jumped in front of me
"I heard from Isaac and Ashley that you touched O'Sullivan's hair," she said excitedly.
I shrugged, "It was an accident, and you know, most people would be finding that weird, but you guys seem to find it amusing," I said teasing her a bit.
Kira smirked at me, and from behind her, Ashley and Isaac did the same
"Yeah, it would be weird if it wasn't O'Sullivan you touched! No one's had the guts to talk to her, let alone touch her or her family outside of club members, and even then, I've heard it's tense," she said.
I was about to reply but was interrupted by the arrival of a twenty-fourteen electric blue Corvette Stingray three l-T pulling into the parking lot. I whistled, "Who owns that?" I asked.
My friends gave me knowing smiles, "Oh you know," Ashley said,
I gave her a frustrated look, "No I don't" I said.
Ashley was about to retort when Erica got out of the driver's side followed by Darien and two of her siblings,
"Wow," was all I could say.
Not even a minute later, a red twenty-fourteen Mustang pulled in beside her, and "Aron and Nephti got out of it.
I turned away from the Faustus clan and back towards my friends, "Ok seriously, how many vehicles do they own?" I asked.
Isaac answered my question"We're not sure"
I turned back to watching the Faustus clan. None of them looked at me as they split to go to there respective classes. Just then, the bell rang and my friends and I headed towards our classes.
Ashley and I had math together, so we continued talking as we walked into class. As it turned out, I also had English with Kira and History with Isaac, which was nice since I found both subjects boring.
I was anxious for lunchtime so that I could ask my friends more questions about the Faustus'. Last night I had tried every social media platform I could think of to try and find something on them, and nothing had popped up. I honestly didn't know what to make of that.
Isaac and I headed to lunch, and once we grabbed our trays, we headed towards a table where Ashley and Kira were waiting for us. Once we had settled down, I took the opportunity to ask more about Erica and the Faustus clan.
"So guys, how long have the Faustus' lived here?" I asked.
Ashley looked up from her lunch to answer me,
"Not long, they moved here the end of last year. My older sister is friends with a girl named Jessica Stanley. She and my sister swear the Faustus' look just like the Cullens," she said.
I arched an eyebrow at the new name, "Who are the Cullen's?" I asked.
Ashley gave me an exasperated look, "Just like the most gorgeous family to move to Forks, at least until the Faustus' arrived," she said.
I contemplated the information, wondering if they could somehow be related
"Weird," I said.
Ashley nodded
"Tell me about it, the Cullen's moved away last year right after the wedding, and then the Faustus' show up," she said.
I gave her a confused look,
"The wedding?" I asked.
Ashley looked at me sheepishly,
"Oops, sorry Luke, I forgot you weren't here for all the drama. Edward Cullen. the youngest son of Dr. Cullen and his wife married Chief Swan's daughter Bella. It was all the town could talk about," she said.
I nodded my head,
"Yeah, my Dad mentioned something about that," I said.
Ashley continued,
"Anyway, it was weird how the moment the Cullen's left the Faustus' moved in," she said.
I nodded my head agreeing with her, having nothing else to say, and not soon after, the bell rang signaling the end of lunch. As before, Isaac and I headed to Bio together. I nodded my head to Mr. Mason and took my seat next to a girl I didn't bother knowing the name of.
Isaac took a seat next to Erica who I noticed was keeping a side-eye view of him. I guess in case he tried to pull the same stunt as I did.
The class went by painfully slow, and I couldn't wait for gym; finally, after what felt like an eternity the bell rang. I raced out of the classroom faster than the Flash, not even bothering to wait for Isaac.
I quickly hurried to my locker and threw my books inside, then raced to the gymnasium. I was the first one there, and Couch Lane gave me a nod as she saw me head towards the lockers.
Gym went by pretty fast after that, and I was anxious to get home. As I had sat in Bio, I had thought of another way of getting information on Erica. One of those Ancestry sites had to have something on her, right? These were the thoughts that plagued my mind as I hurried home. I parked my car in the garage and headed towards my room, but not before checking the answering machine.
My mother had left me a message checking to see how I was doing. I erased it, not interested in talking to her. I went to my room, grabbing my laptop off my desk, and hopped on my bed making myself comfortable.
I opened it and immediately typed in "Find your Ancestors" and typed Erica's name in. To my surprise, there were over one hundred possible O'Sullivans to choose from. It looked like I was going to need more info before I could use this site.
As I closed my laptop I was certain of two things
One: There was something different about Erica's family and Two: I was obsessed with finding out what.
