Chapter 8

"Selena! I know you're here somewhere! I can smell you!" Drake called out.

I bit my tongue hard, and slowed down my breathing, so that I wouldn't make a noise. I thanked god that I was small, and petite. If I weren't then I would've never been able to balance myself on the ledge outside the bathroom window.

I distracted myself at all costs not to look down. If I did, then it'd be bye bye Selena, and I'd have my guts splattered all over the concrete sidewalk below in a matter of seconds. Over and over again I told myself I was smarter than that.

Afraid that Drake would grow a brain, and think to look for me here, I slowly scooted myself to the left. I was heading for the window that lead to the hallway that lead to the door leading to the stairs.

I know it's stupid of me to do that, but I'd rather try and get caught than to not try, get caught, and feel guilty over knowing that I could've possibly gotten awayt if only I had tried. My mother always told me and my sisters that while we were growing up. It wasn't something that I'd likely ever forget.

All of a sudden, out of the blue, I felt something grab my leg. I did the first thing that came to mind, and I screamed bloody murder. It was pointless, though, I was so high up. No one would even hear me most likely. Whatever grabbed me started pulling, and I started falling...

I woke up screaming, and panting, and even crying. What the hell was going on with me? Why was I having all of these nightmares? What did they mean? Did they even mean anything? Question after question flew through my head, but I had no answer for any of them.

Outside my room, I heard footsteps coming towards my room. They grew louder, and louder with each second. Not even a second later the door flung open, and Sookie and Rachel both ran in.

"Selena, are you okay?" Sookie asked, sitting down next to me on the bed.

"Come here," Rachel said, sitting down on the other side of me, and pulling me into her arms.

I felt like a baby. I was crying like a little baby, and I was being cradled by my sister. I never cried, so why was I crying now? "I just want them to stop," I choked out.

"What to stop?" Sookie and Rachel both asked.

Whoops! I hadn't told them about my nightmares yet. If I told them I was having nightmares, they'd ask me questions. I honestly didn't feel like answering questions right now. But, I was too worked up to even come up with a lie to tell them. So, I told them the truth.

"The nightmares," I answered honestly.

"Nightmares?" Sookie asked.

"We never knew you were having nightmares," Rachel said.

Wiggling myself out of my sister's hold, I replied, "I just never told you about them."

"Why not?" they both asked in unison.

Worked up over my nightmare, and sleep deprived, I lost it. "Because of this!" I exclaimed. "You two are always asking questions about everything! Have either of you ever thought that maybe just maybe some situations are left alone?" See this is what happens when I cry? I get mad because I hate crying. Pathetic, right? I know.

Sookie and Rachel both stood up, and looked at each other, and then at me. They were obviously surprised by my sudden outbreak. Neither of them said a single word. What could they say? They didn't know I'd react the way I did.

Desperately needing fresh air, I got out of bed, and stepped into my slippers. It was freezing outside, but I didn't care. I just needed fresh air, whether it be cold, chilly, warm, or scorching hot. I could've been wearing a bathing suite, and I still would've went outside.

"Where are you going?" Sookie and Rachel called after me as I stormed out of my room.

"I'm taking a walk! I need fresh air!"

With that I made my way downstairs, and straight out the front door. I was so caught up in the moment that I almost didn't even notice Eric appear next to me out of nowhere. I was about half way down the driveway at that point in time.

Although, I didn't stop walking, I looked up at him. He didn't look even the least bit happy what so ever. Oh, great! Just what I need right now. An angry vampire staring a hole into each of my eyes.

"What's got you so mad?" I asked completely clueless.

"You confronted the maenad on your own after I specifically told you not to," he hissed.

"I told you I wasn't going to listen to you!" I reminded him. By now I had stopped walking.

"You could've gotten yourself killed!"

I raised an eyebrow, "Why exactly are you so concerned in my well being again?"

He ignored my question. "How stupid does one hybrid have to be to knowingly put themselves in a deadly situation?"

"Are you calling me a stupid hybrid?" I asked, insulted.

"You think that just because you're a hybrid, you can take on a maenad by yourself?"

"I survived both encounters! Or was I just dreaming all of that, too?" I asked angrily. Thinking for a second, I said, "And, why the hell are we bickering like a fucking married couple anyways?"

"Good question."

Before I knew it Eric had his lips pressed against mine. Surprisingly, I found myself leaning into it. Had I done this with him before? I felt like I had. Had we kissed like this during the time that I don't have memory of?

Coming back to my senses, I pushed him away from me. We couldn't do this. Not here, not now. We're suppose to be fighting, not kissing. Besides, until my memory fully returns this isn't the best idea at all.

Before I could say a word to Eric, my mind started spinning. Instead of me fainting and waking up somewhere else, though, all I saw was a quick flashback, and that was it. I stood there shocked. My question had just been answered. Eric and I did indeed kiss, but just as something else was abut to happen the flashback stopped. What the hell just happened?

I know Eric was probably a bit OOC, but I got tickled writing the verbal fight between Eric and Selena! It was fun to write! What'd you think about the kiss and the flashback? Please Review!
