Hey heres Chapter 3. (i like to state the obvious. dont i) hey dont forget to review please. thanks enjoy!!!
She broke away from her memories just in time to remember the boys who had been following her. She had walked into an alley, which was deserted of course. She didn't panic. She knew that she could defeat them.
She faced the brick wall hearing footsteps behind her. She turned as they came around the corner. There were three guys standing there staring at her.
Her eyes immediately were drawn to the guy in the middle. He looked so much like Stanton. And she knew that she had finally found her brother. He didn't recognize her. She was seven years older when she was made immortal. The two guys on each side of him took a step forward and she knew they were followers. Though she wondered why Stanton didn't join in the fight as well. He was leaning against the building staring at her. He looked bored. She was puzzled but decided to think about why he wasn't fighting her, later after she got away from these goons. Her muscles tensed as she tried to think how she had gotten away from followers last time. She finally remembered a certain time when she had just ran away and they had been too confused to understand what had happened. She didn't want to fight them because she knew Stanton could defeat her easily, and she didn't want him to figure out who she was yet.
They were staring at her trying to get into her mind, but they couldn't. She was too strong for them. She had practiced long and hard at keeping her mind locked so followers and others like them couldn't get in and subdue her.
They were getting puzzled and angry. She glanced over at Stanton and saw he too was puzzled. She stood there against the wall and saw her chance. Since they had come into the alley she had not moved at all, so as soon as she saw her chance she ran, knowing they could only follow to the end of the alley, or people would see them chasing her on the street. She had run between the two morons and past Stanton wondering why he didn't try to stop her. He could of if he wanted to, but she had risked it anyway. He just stared at her with amusement and puzzlement in his eyes.
She slowed to a fast walking pace when she got out of the alley and glanced back. The followers were gone from what she could see, but she saw Stanton at the entrance of the alley watching her.
The next morning she walked to La Brea High School. She had decided that she should try to search for the Daughters at a school and her gut had chosen La Brea for her. She knew to never act against her gut. It had saved her from trouble many times.
She went through the medal detectors and went to the office to get her schedule and locker number. She got them and was turning to go out the door when it suddenly opened and a girl walked in knocking her over.
"O my gosh. I didn't see you there. I'm so sorry." The girl was rambling to her as she helped her get up.
"It's ok. Really. Nothings broken". She said. Dusting herself off, she smiled what she hoped was a friendly smile.
"I feel really bad though. Will you let me make it up to you? I'm Catty by the way."
"Sure, but I'm new here so there isn't much you can help me with unless you want to be my tour guide." She replied
Catty smiled "I'd love to. What's your name?"
"My name's Jo."
She had decided to use Jo as her name because she was afraid Stanton would put two and two together if he heard Jolina somewhere. So Jo was safer.
She smiled to herself, glad she had found a friend already.
Catty went to the front desk and handed the lady sitting there a piece of paper, and they walked out together.
It didn't take them too long to find her locker, but Jo was still glad she had a guide. She didn't attend high school too often, only now and then to catch up on discoveries in the world. Catty was walking her to her first class and since hers was right next door they decided to wait for each other.
Jo's first class was World History. This class is always a joke because she had been alive during most of the stuff that they talk about, but it was sometimes frustrating because she couldn't correct teachers and history book on errors during World War I. She had been living in Russia during that time and had actually seen the monarch fall.
After the bell rang Jo vaguely remember being briefly introduced and showed to her seat and since a long time ago she had made a habit of not paying attention during class, she had stared at the young teacher wondering why he had become a teacher in the first place. He didn't teach very well. He had mispronounced the name of a town in Germany wrong.
At the end of class Jo gathered her books and walked out of the door seeing Catty standing there waiting. She had PE next and they walked together to her locker and then to the gym, talking about guys they liked (Jo making up modern stories about old boyfriends she had had.)
They finally got to the gym just as Jo was running out of modern stories she had made up about a boyfriend she had met 150 years ago. He had been extremely cute, she remembered vaguely, but had gone to war and she had moved to another country before he had gotten back.
Catty's squeals brought her back to the present, and she watched as Catty ran to another girl and hugged her. The girl looked like a banger. Jo had spent a bit of time in New York before coming here and so she knew what one was. This girl had two teardrops under her eyes and her very short sleeve top revealed a tattoo of a crescent moon on her arm. Her hair was black and went past her shoulders. It was wavy. Catty brought the girl over to where Jo stood watching.
"Jo, this is Jimena. Jimena this is Jo. She's new at school today." Catty said introducing them.
"Hey Jo it's cool to meet you." Jimena said.
Jo noticed she had a Spanish accent which suddenly explained the hair and skin tone.
"Looks like we have gym together, we better get changed." Jimena continued.
They headed to the changing rooms after they waved goodbye to Catty.
Gym has always been easy for Jo, since she had lived in the wilderness most of her life. Today they had to run a mile, and Jo decided she'd go slow so not to leave Jimena behind, but she was pleased to find that Jimena could keep up with her just fine.
After gym was over Jimena walked with her to lunch. She was telling Jo about Serena and Vanessa and dancing at Planet Bang tomorrow night. She said that Vanessa sang with her boyfriend Michaels band.
As they walked in the cafeteria doors and had gotten their food they saw Catty sitting at a table with a blond haired girl and a dark haired ruggedly handsome boy who had his arm around the girl.
Jimena made the introductions and Jo met Michael and Vanessa. They sat down with their salads.
"Where's Serena?" Jimena asked
"I think she ditched lunch today to eat with Stanton." Catty replied.
Jo choked down her food when she heard the name, and she was praying that it was a coincidence. But she didn't believe in coincidences. Somewhere right now some girl was having lunch with her brother who was a follower. Jo wished there was something she could do to save the girl's poor soul.
So what do ya think. Please tell me and review.
