Chapter 17
A Vision that was real
"Wait so just like that she just started?" I asked Jason and he nodded slowly as his soft black hair went with his head.
He stared at me for a second "I don't know why…I mean my dad used to say that she had some sort of problem…it was her revenge or something for when she was a child."
"That's terrible" I said.
Jason sighed, "It all started when I was seven and Jack was three. She started to drink more she changed…began taking her anger out on me. At first it was just beatings with belts which people used to do as a punishment. Occasionally she'd give me castor oil or make me eat raw meat which was NOT good. When I became too bruised and beaten to do anything anymore she turned to Jack who was tougher than me. We would sit in the cupboard which was where we slept and talk about what we would do when we busted out of here. One day in 1949 around December I think it was…mother snatched Jack out of the cupboard and told me I was nothing but an "it" a nonexistent bastard and that I could get the hell out of her house. I didn't know if she was kidding or not so…I ran until I collapsed on the sidewalk. That was where Kyle found me, I hadn't eaten in ten days and this was the first time I tested out my ability which I had used on Jack several times…but we weren't sure if it was accurate. After 'reading' it I said 'you aren't human are you' and he nodded and that was all I remember. Before he bit me he whispered in my ear 'I'm sorry' and then his teeth sunk into my neck and the fire…oh gosh that fire was the worst it was like…like"
"Like being burned alive?"
"Yeah I guess you could say that."
"Wow so that's your story" I said and Jason nodded somberly "that's so sad."
"Not really…I try not to think about it so much." Jason said and I stared at him "What about you?"
"You want to hear my story? It's pretty boring" I said.
"Of course I want to hear your story nothing about you is boring" Jason said.
"Well my human life was fairly…uneventful. I didn't really have many friends…I was the only girl who wore glasses and has exceptionally pale skin. I wasn't very pretty but I was happy. My father wasn't around very much since he was more of a businessman. Edward was like the older man in my life even though he was my brother. I wasn't really very girly more tomboyish though in those days" – laugh- "girls were known to have to be ladylike and this annoyed me. I didn't like how girls were so…insignificant and weren't allowed to do anything. So I went on with life and never got sick…not once at least until 1918 when I was twelve. That was a tough year; it was the year of the Spanish Influenza outbreak. Papa got sick in the first wave and mama stayed the night with him. Edward and I went home and both woke up in the middle of the night. He carried me to the hospital and Papa died later that day. Mama got sick also so we were in the same room. On September 18, 1918 mama begged Carlisle to save us as Edward and I were on our deathbeds and only had minutes left. Edward started to say 'goodbye Hazel' and closed his eyes when Carlisle picked his head up and bit him. His eyes were wide and he was in a ton of pain. I didn't know why then of course but then he bit me" I said.
"You're more interesting than you think you are" Jason said.
I half smiled, "Um thanks" I said and looked up as I saw the sky was dark.
Jason took my hand and I almost died for a second. "Did you kill those girls in Pennsylvania?" he asked suddenly
"No…they were badly injured however and were unable to remember what happened. Tiffany and Caroline were transformed into vampires and I killed them in a confrontation" I said.
"I know that" Jason said smirking.
"So what are you doing tomorrow?" Jason asked me.
"Um, I don't know probably hiking or going to Canada or something why?" I said.
"Um, I was wondering if you wanted to go to Temple with me" Jason said.
"You're Jewish?" I asked.
"Yeah and you don't have a religion, I know that" Jason said.
"Um sure" I said in a confused voice.
"Cool I'll pick you up tomorrow at nine" Jason said.
"OK" I said.
"Don't sleep in" Jason joked. "Bye Hazel."
"Bye Jason" and he was gone just like that. I shrugged and went back to where Edward was.
"Hey stranger" Edward said and I laughed. "So how was Jason" he nudged me.
"Shut up" I said and he laughed again.
We were in his bedroom since Bella was sleeping at Angela's after a girl's night out. Alice was there too and Edward wanted to hang out with me.
"Just because Jason's here you aren't going to forget about me right?" he asked.
"Yeah sure I'll forget about you of course I won't."
Edward sighed, "Alice is going to lecture you sometime soon you know that right."
I scowled, "Yes" he ruffled my hair with the hand that wasn't around me.
"This is like the time we were in Radnor" I said.
Edward winced, "Don't remind me of those girls… I still don't want to be reminded of them to this day."
"You know I've forgiven them" I said.
"I know."
"Of course" I said.
Edward did his crooked smirk and asked "Is my promise still in sync?"
"What do you mean…is it still alive? " I said.
"Well with the whole Volturi thing is it still?"
"Of course it is! You got me out of there for crying out loud!" I merely shrieked.
"You know even if you move on with Jason…if. I won't go anywhere…I will always be here for you" Edward said and I smiled. "Wanna go to Bella's with me after Jason?" Edward asked.
"Sure" I said and we both laughed until Emmett told us to shut up because Jasper had beaten him at chess and he was mad.
. . .
"OK so remember don't call attention to yourself" Alice lectured me for the thousandth time and she put a bow in my hair (it was blue and thank goodness not pink).
"Jason will be here soon" I said.
"Like I don't know that" Alice said sarcastically and I scowled "SMILE…for goodness sake my gosh" Alice scolded before pulling out her camera "picture time!" she announced.
"NO!" I shouted.
"Hazel, you are going to be facing pictures your whole existence… get with the program" Alice said and I scowled. "EDWARD!" Alice shouted.
"You're really trying to kill me are you?" I asked.
"Yes I am" Alice said sarcastically again.
Edward walked into the room, "You look pretty" he said.
"Alice is trying to torture me to death" I scowled.
"Oh shut up" Alice said and made Edward and I pose for a picture. Jason knocked on the door after the first shot.
"Well look at the time…got to go" I said running to the door and Jason stood there in a suit and yarmulke.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey" I said.
"Ready to go?" he asked.
"Sure" I said and he took my hand leading me through the rest of the woods and to where the synagogue was. People were starting to go inside and carrying prayer books with them.
"Do you come here every week?" I asked Jason.
He nodded, "For the past several years I was praying I'd find you" and I stared at him with wide eyes. "Come on" he said pulling my arm "let's go sit."
The service was beautiful. Jason was able to read from the prayer book and eventually showed me how which was pretty easy if you knew the vowels and letters. The prayers were chanted to certain tunes that Jason knew exactly the way the Rabbi was doing it. There was a girl standing on stage and Jason said she was getting a Bat Mitzvah which was the coming of age in the Jewish religion (Bat Mitzvah for girls and Bar Mitzvah for boys). I saw Kyle sitting in the front row and Jason explained he was on the council and they sat in the front. After the service we walked outside through the garden.
"Did your sister dress you?" he asked I scowled and said yes as Jason laughed.
"I still can't believe you've known Kyle since you were a newborn" he said.
"Yeah…he was pretty cool actually."
"You know you are technically older than me right?" Jason asked.
"No duh" I said sarcastically and he chuckled again.
"What was newborn life like for you…did you have trouble controlling yourself or…" Jason said.
"Well yeah like all vampires I mean the first year was definitely difficult but I definitely had it easier than Emmett and Jasper and Edward who struggled with newborn life. I adjusted fairly easily. I didn't want to be a monster…an evil heartless thing that went around killing people" I said.
"It was kind of hard for me" Jason admitted.
I shrugged, "Maybe it's a male thing."
Jason laughed, "Do you have a curfew?" he asked.
"No" I said he looked at me and I knew what he was thinking. "Waterfall?" I asked.
"Waterfall" Jason agreed and we ran…I didn't care if I tore my dress.
I could smell the sweetness of the water as it flowed through the rocks as usual. Jason skipped the rocks across the river and onto the land across the river and I leaped over.
He laughed "show off" he muttered and I elbowed his arm. He pretended to cry "why did you do that…I thought we were friends" he turned away sarcastically.
"I'm sorry" I said sarcastically.
"You know I'm lying" Jason said turning back.
"Yes I know" I said.
"I haven't been this happy in a long time."
"Is that so?" I asked.
"Yes ma'am" Jason replied we both laughed and spent the rest of the day climbing trees and running around otherwise a pretty normal day in the life of "Hazel the vampire" except I was with someone I loved…someone I loved for a different reason…someone who I felt something to that I never felt with anyone else. Please tell me Edward did not just read my mind…sometimes it isn't useful and is just annoying (Bella is lucky at times that she can have her thoughts to herself).
When the day was done and it was dark I knew I had to get back. Jason looked at me and his eyes pleading "please don't go" but I put my hand on his lips and said "don't worry…I'll see you on Monday" and he shrugged before disappearing and I sighed again before opening the door…ready to face whatever teasing my brothers could come up with.
. . .
"OH MY GOSH HAZEL" Alice practically shouted in my face when I said what happened.
"OK please keep the volume down" and I gestured towards to door.
Rosalie laughed, "Edward will hear our thoughts anyway" and I smirked.
Of course Emmett, Edward, and Jasper teased me about the whole Jason thing but my sisters wanted to know EXACTLY what happened and of course I told them…naturally they were my sisters and I was dying to tell someone.
"Wait so he didn't want you to go" Rosalie asked and I nodded.
"That's so cute" Alice said.
"Alice" I warned.
"Sorry" she said.
I rolled my eyes, "Uh huh" and my sisters laughed.
"See that's the problem you were turned so young you don't know what it really means to be a woman" Rosalie said.
"Please, can we not" I said.
Rosalie and Alice looked at each other and smirked slightly.
"Never mind, actually I think I'll go have Edward and Emmett personally raid your closet of clothes and makeup" I said strolling casually out the door.
"FINE! You win!" Alice said and I laughed before going to my room to watch re runs of South Park.
It was the movie that was on and my favorite scene too. Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, and Kenny McCormick (the four main characters) are sitting in their teacher (Mr. Garrison)'s room and he asks them to solve a math equation that is 5 x 2. A kid named Clyde Donovan raises his hand and says the wrong answer. Mr. Garrison makes fun of him and Kyle says "I think I know the answer Mr. Garrison" only to be mocked by Cartman (who is anti – Semitic and Kyle is Jewish) they get into this whole fight and it's pretty funny. Esme is always getting at Emmett for showing me South Park but it's actually a pretty good show.
. . .
Sunday…uneventful and boring it basically consisted of me sitting in the house all day and briefly going to Bella's with Edward. Alice forced me to let her give me a makeover so she and Rosalie basically tortured me half of the day and then Emmett teased me and then I tackled him until Jasper made me calm down and then Emmett gave Edward a lecture about how bad of a role model he was for acting all depressed and like a mope and that "I was inheriting his traits" and Edward told him "to shut his fat ass mouth" which got me laughing since it was a quote from South Park. Esme said that we had to stop fighting or she would tell Alice to torture them and I actually liked that idea but Emmett made a whole show and whined about it like the baby he is. Edward then told him that I acted more mature than he did although technically I was older but then again technically he was older.
That night I went to my room and finished the rest of my book and prepared myself for the day that was to come. I knew it would be an eventful day with Jason but I wasn't too sure how Harley would handle it. At the same time I felt like a bad friend because Harley liked him. I knew I couldn't tell her the truth because if I did than I would be breaking a vampire law. So I just decided to play dumb…I figured less people would get hurt if that was what I did.
. . .
"So we're going to the mall in Port Angeles tonight you in?" Harley asked me and I nodded. "OK my mom will pick us up from school so text your brother or whoever's supposed to pick you up today."
"Cool" I said and Harley smiled.
"Where are we going?" Brea asked.
"I don't know probably Sephora, Bobbi Brown, MAC, basically all cool stores" Gabi said.
"OK Hazel you need to like seriously show me the skin products your use" Ian said.
"Um…sure" I said biting my lip.
I caught his scent and saw him sitting across the cafeteria.
"Guys, I'll be right back" I said and my friends rolled their eyes because they knew what I was doing. I slowly walked over to Jason's table. "Hey" I said.
"Hey" he said.
"So what's up" I said pulling the casual act again.
"Nothing much" Jason said shrugging and smirking. Jason jerked his head in the direction of Gabe who was coming over to flirt with me and I rolled my eyes.
"Oh good gosh" I said.
Jason laughed, "Sorry" he said.
"Why are you apologizing?" I asked.
"Well, people…they don't exactly accept me they think I'm a freak and if they see you hanging out with me it could make you look like a freak too" Jason said.
"So you don't want me hanging out with you anymore?" I asked.
"No that's not what I said" Jason said.
"Jason Cameron Weismann I could really care less about what the intolerant people of Forks West Middle School think about me hanging out with you" I said in a dramatic tone.
"Wow" Jason muttered.
"Yeah?" I said.
"So you're going to Port Angeles later?" Jason asked.
"You're unbelievable" I said since he was listening in on my conversation with the girls and Ian.
Jason laughed again and said, "Don't do anything reckless."
"Are you turning into Edward now?" I said under my breath.
"No" Jason said and I rolled my eyes again as Jason flicked my ponytail just as the bell rang.
I was sitting in math and the only thing I could think of…Jason. Jason. Jason. I know I was starting to sound like a completely love struck girl but there were three things I was absolutely positive of. First, Jason was the boy of my dreams. Second, I wanted the best for him…I wanted him to be happy. Third I was absolutely and irrevocably in love with him.
"Hazel?" I heard Mr. Daly calling my name.
"Yes, the square root of 8x9/12is 2.12132034 which rounded to the nearest 10th is 2" I said.
"Wow" I heard some 8th grader said.
I could tell Mr. Daly was frustrated since he was sure I wasn't paying attention and wanted to get me for it. Sorry but that's what you get for having a vampire as a student (LOL). The rest of math flew by and then I went to my group guidance class (a class where we went over basic rules and problem solutions otherwise boring). Then I had my gym class which had a sequence of events…numerous ones.
First was the walk to the lockeroom Harley walked faithfully by my side like a golden retriever I didn't mind though since Harley was one of the first friends I had in my vampire life that wasn't a human (besides Bella really) so anyways the lockeroom. The boys went to theirs and we girls went to ours. Not much of a big deal right? Well it was because one of the boys decided to spy on us. Although I knew and no one listened to me then some of the girls started to say stuff about guns and kids planning to kill. She wasn't lying. I also had a tracking view of the other vampires that were the army in Detroit. Suddenly it all made sense.
"Oh shit" I said and the other girls looked at me.
"Gosh why do you take everything so seriously" one said.
"She's just a little motherfucking slut that's all…because you're sooo above all of us new girl…right?" the girl's friend said.
I knew it shouldn't have but those words…they hurt…a lot. They didn't know a thing about me and here they were calling me a slut? Little bitches why did I always have to be singled out because I was a vampire? But then I doubted the fact that it was because of my skin. After gym the bell rang and I knew I had a big problem on my hands…a huge problem…bigger than anything I had ever faced.
"Hey Hazel…um are you coming over later?" Harley asked.
I stood there for a second…terrified out of my wits for what I discovered. I wanted Edward…I knew he already knew what happened. "Um…I can't tonight" I mumbled.
Harley shrugged, "it's OK do you mind if we go?" she asked.
"Yeah no problem I don't like shopping anyway you'll have more fun without me."
Edward pulled up against the curb and I raced into the car I nearly flung myself into my brother but controlled myself and threw my bag into the backseat.
"I know I know" Edward said reading my thoughts he was driving fast…to the house.
"They're in Oregon and I have a feeling they're going to do something…bad…at my school" I said.
"How did Alice not see this coming? She's been watching their decisions" Edward said angrily.
"I don't know maybe they know and they're toying with it" I said.
Edward looked at me, "That's not the case…we've been watching everything that's been going on…their decisions aren't made up already…that's why and it's just frustrating."
I sighed "sorry."
"Why are you apologizing?" Edward asked and I shrugged Edward pulled into the driveway and ran around the car to open the door for me and take me in his arms pulling me against his chest.
"Where's Bella?" I asked.
"Home" Edward replied.
"Are the Weismann's coming over?" I asked but I already knew the answer…no they hadn't told them not wanting to bother anyone else.
"We've got 21 hours and that's it" Emmett said pressing the enter button on his computer.
"According to their blog post it could be even sooner" Jasper said.
"Any updates?" Edward said still holding me.
"You know the answer" I muttered.
"We have confirmed their plans of the attack" Jasper said and Edward put me down on the table to see what Jasper was doing. I stared at the ceiling and Emmett called me over.
"What?" I asked.
"Track the army please?" he asked and I was surprised at the way he spoke to me as if I were an adult and not a dwarf.
I tracked them and suddenly realized who the one was that was running it…the girl Bree her name was I think…Bree Tanner yeah that was what Edward said. Her friend escaped the battle and decided not to go…Jen her name was yes…that was the leader and she had created a mate just as Victoria used Riley. His name was Joe and he was around Riley's age. They were…OH FUCK!
"HAZEL!" I heard Edward's voice wait did I just say that out loud? There was one word I was able to say out loud and it wasn't going to be pretty.
"Bella."
"THEY HAVE HER!" Edward shouted.
"No…they…they want her…they have her scent…they're planning to massacre the school tomorrow at an undefined time. I have to go and warn everyone. They're going to use it to distract you guys so you will go to the school and then take action by killing Bella" I said still with my eyes closed.
"Hey…Hazel we know you're watching us" I heard a voice.
"Oh yeah…Jen" I said.
"That's not my name" Jen said.
"Then what's your name because you're lying" I said and I could see my brothers looking at me like I was nuts.
"Nothing…my name is nothing and guess what…YOU ARE NOTHING…YOU ARE AN IT…YOU ARE UNIMPORTANT INSIGNIFICANT NO ONE GIVES A CRAP ABOUT YOU DO YOU HEAR ME NO ONE! NO ONE SO JUST GIVE UP BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALREADY…YOU ARE NOTHING…YOUR NAME IS NOTHING! DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT" and with that she took out a match and I was left burning in the flames.
I screamed as I opened my eyes "SHUT UP BITCH…SHUT UP!" I heard myself saying.
"Hazel…it's OK" Edward soothed me taking me in his arms and stroking my face.
"They have powers she can create illusions and…" but I was cut off.
"Emmett what did you do to her?" Jasper asked.
"Nothing" Emmett said.
"It's not his fault I'm just overreacting because I'm…" and I was cut off again.
"No you are not nothing…do you understand that…look me in the eyes Hazel Lucy Masen Cullen" Edward said shaking me and I couldn't help smirking.
"OK I get it but we've got less than a day to stop this massacre…innocent preteens will be killed and all because of me" I said.
"Well then let's get to work bitches" Emmett said and I rolled my eyes. Only Emmett could find a way to lighten up a dark situation.
After several hours of intense tracking and research it was established that they were coming tomorrow and were going to do it fast…we only had this much time and we had to convince everyone of what was going to occur because think about it if you were approached by a few freakishly pale people who told you of an attack would you believe them.
I knew Jason would believe me and if we had to we would forcefully take people out of the building if that was what it took. I also knew they had a tracker among them so they might disable me to be able to track them which actually kind of annoyed the crap out of me. After Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, and Edward got everything in their knowledge we had to tell the others. Bella had to be left out of this…for her safety. If she got involved it would just add to the "army's" reason to kill more people…and her. I sat in my room on the floor plotting out their plan that I had figured out and prayed that innocent children wouldn't be killed tomorrow.
I feared for my friends who weren't bulletproof like Jason and I. Harley, Brea, Keri, Gabi, Ian, Alex, Gabe…all of those kids who might die tomorrow because of me and my being a vampire. These were times I wished I died in 1918 like I was supposed to so I didn't endanger the lives of innocent others.
. . .
"Hazel, you have to warn them remember…as soon as you catch their scent you pull the fire alarm, grab people, shout, do whatever you can do so people will be safe" Jasper told me before I was about to leave for school.
My siblings had basically lectured me all night about what I had to do and I was ready. Edward took my hand and walked out the door with me. I had figured they were planning their attack at around 1pm when the school would be in busiest session and less time to escape and yes even though I was a vampire I was still maybe a little scared. These were newborns we were talking about they had greater strength then any mature vampire due to the fact that they had their human blood still lingering in their system. I grasped Edward's hand tighter and knew I wouldn't hurt him.
"Where are you going to do today?" I asked him.
"I will be at Bella's house…on watch and if you need me you call me" Edward said.
I nodded, "Do you think no one will get hurt?"
"I don't know…I really don't know" Edward said and he wasn't lying…he really did not know and for the first time he didn't. Usually everything would come to him in people's thoughts so he knew their intentions but now he didn't and it wasn't entirely a good thing.
As we pulled into the parking lot I shuddered this would be the last time some of these kids would see their families and I swallowed back my guilt.
"Hazel don't give me that guilt trip again…we're going to beat this" but I felt a vibration.
"You're lying" I said.
Edward pretended not to hear that, "It's not your fault" I didn't feel a vibration at that I slightly smiled.
"It's OK…I promise you that I am here and if anything comes after you I will shove their desk out the window" Edward said.
"I'm not worried about myself" I said.
"I know…you're worried about everyone else…Emmett, Jasper, and I will do our best to make sure no one gets hurt. Carlisle has contacted Kyle Weismann who has told Jason and you two need to work together and I think you can do that right" Edward said.
I shrugged, "I guess so."
"Are you ready" Edward asked.
"Yes" I said in a scared voice.
"Love you Haze" Edward said.
"Right back at ya" I said and got out of the car.
"Thank goodness you're here I thought you wouldn't show up" Harley walked up to me and I nodded.
"Yeah…um my brother had difficulties with his car and my sister had to help him" it was a lie and the best I could come up with.
"Oh ok" Harley said.
"Yeah" I said.
"Hazel…can you please help Keri with her math worksheet that Mr. Parozginski gave her" Gabi asked.
"Yeah sure…what is it Keri" I said.
"I can't solve this problem" Keri said I looked at it.
It was measurement square root which was easy and I explained it to Keri who still didn't understand and then I explained it again. She finally understood after the fourth time.
"What are we going to do with you" I joked.
Keri laughed, "I'm so embarrassed that I'm so dumb" she said.
"Don't be embarrassed Keri my brother he has serious issues if you know what I mean" I said pointing to my head and my friends laughed.
"Edward?" Brea asked.
"No, Emmett he acts like he's four" I said and prayed Emmett heard that…HAHA! Just kidding; anyways the bell rang and we were dismissed to go to our lockers ten minutes before first period. I tracked Jason and he was already at his locket waiting for me. I walked to where he was and was not surprised by the shock in his voice.
"Hazel, did you hear?" he asked in a voice too low for humans to hear.
"Yes I heard" I said trying to sound calm.
"They're coming today…Kyle told me that Carlisle said that you guys were researching" Jason said touching my arm and seeing my history.
"Correction" I said.
"My brothers were researching" we said together and I slugged him he smirked for a second.
"Dude I'm serious" he said.
"Dude? What is this a pub" I said.
"Sorry" Jason said.
I shrugged, "No really it's no problem I was just overreacting" I said and Jason sighed and slightly smiled like how you would do when you were a tad bit sad. I put my hand on his shoulder.
"Come on we have to get to class" he nodded and took my hand...MY HAND! I about died but I couldn't think about this now…I had to focus on how Jason and I were going to stop this army from invading.
I couldn't think during class…I didn't even pay attention (not that I was missing anything). Mrs. Zeppelin even called my name and I didn't even answer the first time, but I was trying to find a plan…a good plan a plan that maybe would save the school and innocent kids who would possibly be murdered. Thus passed first period; second period came…Ms. Poleman made us write a TDC paragraph regarding our previous experiment. I stared at the kids who I sat next to; Roman (Gabi's brother), Chrissie, & Katie. Would one of them die later?
I knew this was really getting to me but who the hell cared about me right now. I would have to risk myself for my fellow classmates and I would…I would pull the fire alarm and get them into the secret underground hideout that the school had as an escape route. Some wouldn't make it out in time however and so passed second period. When third period came around I was sitting at my desk and drawing out the escape route and Miss Gravy asked what I was doing. I said I was copying her notes which I had been doing at the same time. She frowned and shook her head since she thought she had me hooked.
Some of the other kids laughed, "Nice going Hazel" they would say and I would only shrug. Would some of them die later? As usual we had no idea of knowing and the rest of third period passed on.
Fourth period, a blur of events that occurred it was the period before I had Social Studies with Jason. This was also my advanced placement period which was basically my class that had more advanced topics. It was hard to resist the tracking by this time of the day and I did it. Even though Edward said I wasn't allowed but he used his mind reading all the time at school and I used my lie detector so why couldn't I track…besides this was for special circumstances. They were close, advancing as I watched planning their attack strategically and I actually give them credit because this was a master plan they had come up with. Which was half frustrating at the same time since I had to work that much harder to try and defeat them.
At 11:10am lunch came at its normal time but it seemed like forever I had waited. Harley, Keri, Gabi, & Ian were deep in conversation about the new shoe brand Kosmic that had come out. Alice had been going on about them for a few weeks now but that wasn't why I was quiet. Brea was just quiet because she had zero interest in Kosmic (I shared that with her too).
We got into a small conversation about whether Forks should re – elect Ralph Jones as mayor. Personally I thought Mr. Jones was doing a good job with managing everything that was going on in the town but some others disagreed saying Mr. Jones had to look more into construction to build better houses in Snowy Hills (the rich area) or nonsense like that. However I let Brea do most of the talking and she was basically on my side I was paying attention but mostly strategizing on what exactly I was going to do about this "army" or whatever.
"Jason Weismann is staring at you" Harley said and I sighed we all knew what this meant…he wanted me to come over. So I quietly got up and pushed my chair in.
"Um Hazel, no offense but you've been acting really depressed today are you OK?" Harley asked.
"Yeah…um I guess I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed" I said.
Harley sighed, "You can talk to me if there's anything wrong."
"Thanks Harley" I said.
"Why are you thanking me?" she said.
I was about to say something when Gabi paused and said "Jason is about to go mad if you don't go over there" she said.
I rolled my eyes, "Job calls" I said and walked over to where Jason was sitting.
"Have you tracked them?" he asked in a slight whisper loud enough for a human to hear if they were sitting directly next to him.
"Yeah they're close" I said.
Jason let out a deep breath and said "oh shit."
I half smiled again "Jason, we can beat this" I said "I don't want to lose you" he said and then I heard a scream.
What will happen next? Will the attack's evacuation go as planned? Will everyone make it out?
Review Maybe?
Note: the reason the story status says complete is because if you read the description it says currently Re-editing (sorry if that annoyed some people)
