"School bites," Michaela muttered as we walked side by side together towards the cafeteria.
"Thank god for lunch," I replied as we entered the cefeteria and heading to our usual spot. Only Alex and Jacob were there. I sat down next to Alex. Jacob was a seat away from him on the other side of him. I whispered into Alex's ear. "I had 2 more dreams."
He snapped his head towards me and studied my face. I had already to the girls but we didn't have much time to discuss it. "And?"
"We're meeting at Starbucks after school to talk," I stated. "You coming?"
"Of course," he replied as Jacob got up and took a seat next to me.
I tried ignoring him but he leaned over and whispered, "You can't make me jealous if I don't even have feelings for you."
I whipped my head to him. "What?"
"Flirting with Alex won't help you," he expanded his accusation. "It might get you in trouble with Miranda but-"
"You're a jerk!" I spat with increasing rage. "I wasn't flirting with Alex!"
"What?!" Michaela and Alex asked.
"I was telling him something important," I continued, getting up. "If anything, I'm over you now!"
4:08...
After lunch, I was pretty much ticked off for the rest of the day. I didn't feel like talking to anyone in 4th period so I didn't. Now I didn't even feel like going to meet the others at Starbucks. But none the less, school was now over and I was walking to Alex's car for a ride.
"Carrie!" he called out.
I quickened my pace.
"Hey!" he said, grabbing my arm and spinning me around. "I'm sorry for what happened at lunch but-"
"How many times are you going to piss me off and say sorry for it?!" I asked. "One day I won't have the heart to accept it because I'll be fed up with it, Jacob!"
"I know and I'm sorry," he repeated. "It's just that our situation makes me say stupid things."
"Well, I'm sorry," I said. "But just because of our situation doesn't mean that it's ok for you to start accusing me-"
"And it won't happen again," he assured, pulling me into a hug.
I hugged back. It felt good to be in his arms. But he and I aren't meant to be. I don't even come from this world. "It better not."
"I promise."
We stayed like that for a while and I thought. It wasn't my job to do that for him and I can't risk the chance of him finding out. "I can't do it, Jacob."
"Do what?" he asked, stilling hugging me.
"I can't tell you anymore things about the Sailor Scouts," I answered.
He quickly let go and looked down at me in confusion. "Why not?"
"Jacob, there's just so many reasons-"
"What reasons?" he asked, getting even more upset.
"Don't get upset!" I said, raising my voice. "I was asked not to!"
"By who?!"
"The Scouts themselves."
He stared at me long and hard, probably trying to figure out if I was lying or not before replying something back.
"Tell me just one thing," he begged.
"Like what?" I replied, folding my arms.
"Do I have a chance with her?" he asked with big hopeful eyes.
I stared at him, on the verge of tears. "You had your chance."
Starbucks...
"Let's move on to what's really important," I urged again. I told them what happened in the parking lot. Big mistake. It was a distraction from our real problem.
"This is important too!" Michaela exclaimed.
"Ugh!" I groaned. "We'll talk more about this later. Moving on..."
"Caroline was possessed by a demon," Cassie stated, looking directly at Alex. He quickly looked at me.
I frowned at Cassie. "Nice way to put it."
She grinned.
"You were?" Alex asked. "When?"
"This morning," I replied, still looking at Cassie. "And I'm not sure if it was a demon. I think it was someone from the Negaverse tyring to control me. I choked Celeste."
Cassie shrugged, sipping her frap. "Same thing."
I rolled my eyes. "My first dream was about Queen Serenity arguing with this guy named Sebastian about the future of their 2 daughters and the second was about me as 14 years old and getting into an argument with my half-sister. I don't know her name though. She had alot of anger in her though."
"You choked Celestial?" he repeated.
I frowned. "Did you not hear the other things I just said?"
"I did but what if one day we're actually talking to the person who controlled you today?" he asked. "We're screwed."
I looked at the floor. "True."
"What are we suppossed to do?"
I looked back up. "If I'm crankier than usual, then that's how you'll know."
"But what if the demon's angry side doesn't show?" Liz pointed out. "They're smart enough to find away around that."
"Then we need to be smarter than them," Allie suggested.
"And how do we do that?" asked Miranda.
We looked around, glancing at one another hoping someone had the answer.
"Trust no one," Ashley finally replied. She looked at me. "Tell Cel that if she has an inkling that a Negaverse soul has taken over you to come tell one of us right away."
I nodded.
Home...
I went home, quickly finished my homework, and told Cel what Ashley had told me. She agreed to it but I didn't feel safe. The thought that someone with the Negaverse could take over me whenever they wanted and I would've never know. It made me think that that demon could be my half-sister. I mean Cel said I can't my anger get the best of me and I used to act out in anger when I ws young but my half-sister had the anger issues in my past life. "Cel."
"Hmm?" she moaned. She was falling fast asleep. It was only 10 but I too was feeling extremely tired.
"Do you think that the demon that possessed me today could be my sister?" I asked, staring at the ceiling. I was already tucked under my covers. I heard no response from her so I leaned over the edge of the bed to find her staring at me with one eye open.
"It's possible if," she began.
"If what?" I asked, my eyes closing fast.
She closed her open eye and adjusted her head so that she was laying on the left side as she yawned loudly. "It's possible if she's crossed over to the dark side of the moon."
I stared at her for a while longer and then laid on my back again, staring at the ceiling. My half-sister? A part of them? Is it possible that because of the anger I used to have inside of me that can come back means that I can cross over to? Maybe the first propechy will be fulfilled.
