"Elizabeth! Elizabeth!" I was running up to a girl who looked like Chess. "Oh Elizabeth. I just met the most amazing boy. His name is John Quinn he lives in the next village. We're going down to the river tomorrow for a picnic. I can't wait!"
"I thought you didn't want to get involved with anyone after you got that weird letter."
"Yes, but I don't know Thierry Descoudres and I do know John and he's perfect Elizabeth! Anyway he wants to meet you and Jack tomorrow too! Will you come?"
"Yes fine. I think I'd quite like to meet him" She smiled at me and I had to smile back.
The next day I was walking down the river with John, Elizabeth and Jack had left already.
"Well Elizabeth is nice I can see why your friends with her." He smiled down at me and I felt myself blush.
"John I was wondering," I took a deep breath. "Are you ever going to kiss me?"
He stopped at the tree and turned to me. "You want me to kiss you?" I nodded and he smiled that heart stopping smile again. "Ok then, I'll kiss you." He leaned down and kissed me lightly on the lips. He pulled me in closer and kissed my neck. Then he bit me, I opened my mouth to scream but he'd stopped.
He collapsed on the floor. Every instinct in me told me to run but I couldn't, I looked down at the boy - demon - on the floor who was now crying and I couldn't leave him.
"John? Don't cry."
"I can't kill you Anna if I do that then he wins - Hunter wins. I can't let that happen please forgive me."
"It's ok I can tell your sorry and I forgive you."
"Thank you Anna, I didn't deserve that."
"You should go John. Don't come back."
"Ok."
Hannah, come on! Wake up it 1:00 pm!
I woke up with a start and went to go get ready. Hang on Thierry, I'll just be a second! When I was finally ready I raced down stairs.
"Well, well, look who's finally decided to grace us with her presence." Ash said as I walked into the main room.
"Shut up Ash. Don't be like that, after all your ten times worse than this normally." It was Quinn who ha decided to stick up for her. I shot him what I hoped was a thankful smile.
He walked over to me. "Are you ok? After… everything."
"Yeah. I'm fine. I don't blame you for anything and besides that's all ancient history. Literally I guess." I gave him a hug.
"Whoa, ladies and gentlemen Quinn finally made his first friend. It's incredible." Of course it was Ash that said this earning a punch in the arm from Thea.
"Alright Redfern start running." Quinn turned and took some sort of wooden sword from Rashel.
"Ok dude, let's not do anything we're going to regret."
"Oh I won't regret it."
"Well… ok then. Bye." Ash ran out of the room as quickly as possible.
"Wow, I don't think I've ever seen him run that fast." Quinn gave Rashel the sword thing back. He glanced at me and I smiled back.
Maybe Quinn was never really evil after all. I thought to myself.
Review please was it good, bad, only ok?
