New Kids On The Block~ part one
Matt led me up around a sharp turn and up a hill large looming mansion comes into sight.
I try and hide my smile, Salvatore mansion, its been a long time since I've been there. We walk up the hill in silence for a while, until finally Matt turns to me and speaks
"so how old are you?" he asks. I pause and think, how old should I be? The age I look? Or should I be older? My actual age is out of the question because saying your more than 100 times someone's age when you look 14 tends to raise suspicion. So I go with the easy answer:
"fourteen" I say.
he smiles "nineteen"
I look down if only I could ever be 19.
"so your family's cool with you being well..." he trails of
" here alone? "I laugh. "no, they didn't care about me when they were alive and, certainly don't care about me when they're dead" I scoff
"so they're dead?" he asks
"yeah" I shrug my parents never cared about me I never cared about them.
"I'm sorry" he says
"don't be" I laugh humorlessly.
"No." he says "not like that, I just know how its like to have parents like that, I never knew my dad, and my mom was drunk all the time" he smiles sadly looking at the ground.
Panic bounces around my mind. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. Oh no. We are moving into emotional down-to-earth territory. I DONT DO emotional and down-to- earth, I'm blatant , and snarky, and blunt, and sarcastic, and witty, and fearsome. I DONT DO emotional, I really don't know how. So I do the first thing that comes to my mind:
I nod and say "yeah". this seems to work and I let out a sigh of relief.
"come on" he says smiling
" this way" he leads me to the door.
"they should be home" he says as he opens the door. I raise my eyebrows
"and who's they?" I ask smirking. Matt opens his mouth to speak, but two figures cut him off.
I can sense them: both are supernatural.
To the right I sense the feeling of moonlight and wet dog: werewolf. But there's something funny about him, he is tainted with blood. I've never sensed anything like this before, but years of quick thinking has made me very good at coming to conclusions: the figure to my right had once been a hybrid.
To the left I sensed oak, iron and blood. Hunter. Something about him felt ancient and that could only mean one thin he is one of the five. Years of practice told me to watch my back and be ready to kill him at any time. I wasn't scared of hunters, I never have been, but my guard never goes down. ever.
The figures stepped out of the shadows. the hunter looks at Matt,
"who's the girl, "he asks. I take a few deep breaths to calm myself. calm down Soph, you're a good girl, don't blow your cover. I sigh and settle for staring him strait in the eye,
"I'm Sophie" I say
"Jeremy Gilbert" he says. Ahh, I actually liked, Jonathan Gilbert, he was a fairly decent man. I take a deep breath.
"pleasure" the second figure approaches
" Tyler Lockwood" he says smiling slightly.
Oooh, now that's a family I have quite the history with,but unfortionately that history consists of mostly blackmail. it takes effort, but I smile at him too. Jeremy looks inquisitively at matt.
"I think she can help us" he says
"and how can she do that" tyler asks.
"she's a witch, and her powers work inside the boundaries" he explains.
" how is that- " Jeremy starts.
"loopholes." I say.
"I'm not sure, I mean she's kind of young" Tyler says. I laugh to myself.
"and after what happened to bonnie" he continues looking warily at Jeremy who tenses up at the mention of the name, which I have to pretend not to know.
" look," matt says " we need a witch on our side and she can at least try"
"trying could still get her killed" Jeremy says.
I take a breath and lean foward from my position on the wall where I'd been listening
" listen," I start "I'm perfectly happy to help, but in order to do that I kind of need to know what im helping with"
" oh, sorry"jeremy sighs " do you know about the travelers and their spell?" he asks,
i nod
" well our friends sacrificed themselves to defeat them, and as the other side imploded we tried to bring them back, which we were able to do, except for..." he trails off
" two of them, they were, how do you put it, sucked into oblivion" tyler finishes for him.
I try and looked shocked, like I don't already know that Damon and bonnie were sucked into oblivion.
" we want to try and bring them back" matt says.
"but if you don't want to "Tyler says
" you don't have t-"
" ill do it" I state
"you will! why would you want to put yourself at risk" Jeremy asks softly.
"honestly," I sigh smirking " Im not sure what I do that doesn't put me at risk"
Its been two days since my "surprise" run in with matt.
I dress myself in a short, blousy, mint green dress and a yellow sweater.
Hopping in my car, I drive out of mystic falls and into a neighboring town, where I park the car in some random lot, slamming the door as I get out.
I see two people, one blonde and one brown haired, watching me "secretly", even though they might as well be in plain sight.
I look at the sky the clouds are getting darker and darker, its about to rain, so I decide to put on a show:
I wave my hand across the open air infront of me and the dark sky is replaced by cerulean blue.
I turn on heel and walk towards the coffee shopstaring directly at my two onlookers before I go.
So, Sophie isn't who she says she is. Can you guess her big secret? Write your guesses in reviews :-) Thanks
