Chapter 6- 'The Accidents' Begin…
"What the heck is she doing here!!!!!" Len spurted, flabbergasted, "Why did she come? Trying to sooth Jun or somethin'? Nooooooo! Did Yoh or Anna come with her? Oh no-"
"Len?" Ran Tao started.
"No. Tell her I'm not here-"
"Len-"
"That I'm out training-"
"LEN!!!!!!"
"What?" he looked up finally, a frown on his face.
"I'm saying that she is here to stay for a little while probably because she just wanted to meet you and you are going to accompany her around because I'm going shopping!" she said firmly and walked out of his room. Tamera entered slowly, nervousness playing on her face.
"Hello Len," she spoke and consciously brushed a long strand off her face.
"Hey Tamera," he muttered and slumped on his huge bed. Len's grand room was shrouded in blue, black and crimson curtains and black wood furnishings. Tamera gazed around in awe. It was the first time she had entered his room
"Uh, Len? Actually I came here to give you this," she walked out of the room and dragged in a new, sharp kwandao (or whatever it's called). Now it was Len's turn to gaze. He stood up and walked up to her
"Uh, Tamera. I don't know what to say. Thanks, I mean why? No thanks," although it was obvious he was dying for it.
"Len," Tamera pleaded, "You deserve it. Please take it. I want you to have it. I really do!" He looked up at her and suddenly he felt his cheeks going scarlet again.
"Thanks Tamera," he smiled and took it. She stared at him; he was so handsome! "Tam?" he questioned but she probably didn't hear him.
"Len I-I-" she stuttered and suddenly turned blood red. I have to!! I have to tell him! I love him! " Len I really-" her throat dried. Len wasn't that type of boy. Maybe he didn't even like her. But I'll still feel better if I tell him. I'll feel happier that I've told the one I really like my feelings. "Len?"
"Are you all right Tamera?" he looked at her, a warm smile on his face. Will she ever be able to see that smile again? Tamera thought about loosing him and that brought tears to her eyes. Maybe this wasn't the right time. "Hey Tamera?" She looked at him. No, she couldn't.
"Yeah?" she whispered, staring at the ground.
"Nothing," he looked away suddenly. She looked up at him. He had walked away, trying to hide something probably. I won't get another chance like this one! I must!
"Len, I love you!" she burst out and shut her eyes tightly. Suddenly the world came crashing down at her. What had she said?!!! She regretted it so much now! She couldn't speak another word and dropped down on the carpet, whimpered softly. Tears streamed down her cheeks. What about Len? He looked like a statue by now. It was thunder crashing? Right? He couldn't have heard that. He slowly turned back, his eyes wide open.
"Uh…………………uh, I" he realized it was no use speaking. What was he supposed to say? He walked slowly to Tamera. Each step he took felt like weighing a 1000 killograms. She turned her head up at his towering figure slowly, scared that he might go mad at her. Tears stained her face.
"I- huh!" she sobbed again. "I didn't- mean-to," Len tried his best to smile. He sat down beside her and placed his hands on her shoulders, or rather, tried to. Len opened his mouth to say something but only a choked whisper escaped. Tamera's shoulders shuddered at his touch, "I do!" she whimpered. Len spoke, his voice cracking,
"I- I love you too, Tamera," he looked at her, smiling. He stood up, Relieved that he had admitted it to himself too. She snapped her head up, shocked.
"You- you do?" she whispered, staring at his eyes and getting up too. He replied with the same intent. Tamera slowly moved her face closer and closed her eyes. They kissed. Suddenly, Tamera's eyes widened, her skin turned ghostly pale. Len pulled back
"What's wrong?" he asked. Tamera dropped down, like she was dead, "Tamera? What? What happened!" he spun around wildly, looking for someone who might have caused that. There was no one but him and Tamera. He touched her motionless body, "Tam?" What happened? Did I do something? He carried her to the bed and lay her down, "Nothing's going to happen! You'll be all right,"
After some time, Tamera's eyes fluttered open. She looked around. Len wasn't there. Tamera brushed a lock of her pink hair off her shoulder and got out of bed. She couldn't remember what had happened. Suddenly. It all came back to her. Her heart swelled with joy. Len? Where is he? But what happened to me? Then the horrific eyes came back to her. The ones she had seen in the window. The horrific blood red eyes… Her heart beat thickly as she searched around the room for Len. He was nowhere to be seen. Tamera ran up to the door and wrenched at the door handle. It was locked. No! What happened? "Len?" she yelled, "Someone! Open the door! Help!" Her hair flew wildly. She banged her fists on the door. Suddenly she heard footsteps. Maybe it was that horrible person She slammed her back against the wall beside the door ready to punch anyone who came in. Sweat dripped from her forehead. The door opened and-
"Yaa!" Tamera was about to attack when her wrist was grabbed. It was Len!
"Hey? You're up? Thank goodness! I thought-" Tamera let out a huge sob and flung her arms around Len. "What?"
"Len! I thought- I thought you were that awful creature!"
"Awful? Awful creature? T-Tamera it's okay," he comforted her and hugged her back. This time at least his head didn't spin, and he was grateful for that. "Maybe it was just an imagination. You know,"
"But they were all maroon and- so scary- Len I was so scared,"
"Tam? I'll check everything out okay?" he said and gave her a warm smile.
"All right. Thanks Len!" she cheered up a little, " I guess I should go now. Yoh and Anna will be worried. Bye Len," she picked up her cute heart-shaped purse and started to walk out the door.
"Bye, Tam," Len called out. She looked back at him lovingly and ran back.
"I love you so much Len!" she hugged him and walked back. Len was stunned. He smiled as she left and then a dark frown covered his face.
