AN: Here is another chapter. I really love the support I am getting so far so thank you so much and keep reading and reviewing!
"Cameron?" I whispered to myself and looked down quickly. I was trying to find something to make a distraction so I didn't have to look at him. My hair fell in front of my face and I looked down at my fingernails. I should have painted them purple today so I could pick at the polish.
"We are going to start reading Julius Caesar," my teacher started while leaning against the podium, "But before we start to read it, we are going to do a project on something cultural to Rome. For example, we have many topics such as Roman gods and goddesses, roman music, roman inventions, roman art, and many others. Once a topic is chosen, no one else can have that topic. You will have partners." I almost glanced at Cameron, well I guess Cam is what he goes by now. All of a sudden, a paper wad hit me on the side of the head. I looked to my left angrily before I realized it was Corey.
"What?" I whispered angrily. I hate getting things thrown at me, it's so disrespectful.
"Wanna be partners?" He smiled and I rolled my eyes, but nodded.
"Speaking of which, Lizzy and Corey," the teacher interrupted us and I looked down again, "I will choose your partners. You two, you two, you two, etc," she walked down the isles pointing at two people sitting next to each other. So I'm either partners with Corey or Cam. Please be Corey.
"You two," My heart stopped and I frowned. I'm with Cam, just perfect.
"Lizzy," Corey whispered and I looked over at him again, "Too bad we aren't together. I guess we'll have to hang out another time. I shrugged and nodded. The teacher finished and then stood in the front of the room again.
"I will give you guys a few minutes to figure out what topic you guys want. Then, I will drawl names out of the hat to make it fare." Ok, I have to figure out a plan to not make it obvious that I know Cam. What do I do? I'll just act like I am a nervous, new student that thinks he's attractive, making it even harder. I slowly turned and faced Cam. I brushed the hair out of my face and faced Cam. I smiled at him ignoring his tight polo that defined his muscles. His black hair fell into his emerald green eyes and his face was awestruck.
"Hi," I smiled a big smile, "I'm Lizzy! I'm also new, I just moved here from California."
"Cam," he said and gave me a crooked smile, "What topic do you want?"
"Um," I thought of all of them and I honestly have no idea," I admitted.
"What about mythology?" I looked down. The Romans were foolish, but Christianity was never introduced to them until they were almost completely ruined, so you can't exactly blame them.
"Fine," I agreed, "That' will be an easy subject to find books on."
"What's another topic in case that one gets taken?" He asked looking at me in the eyes with his intense eyes.
"Um," I said nervously, picking at my fingernails, "Roman marriages, wars, weapons, or inventions would also be easy."
"I'm good with that," he smiled and it made me start breathing heavily.
"What the heck is the teacher's name?" I blurted to him.
"Miss Garner, but most people call her Pippa," He answered as if I didn't ask a completely random question. She walked to the front of the class room and started drawling names from a bucket. Sure enough, gods and goddesses went first along with every other topic except for inventions. We were the last names chosen and I didn't even have to speak because inventions was the last one yet.
The bell rang and I basically bolted out of the classroom. There is no way that what happened to Daniel is happening to me, but it's the only possible explanation!
"Lizzy! Wait up!" I turned around and saw Colin running after me, followed by Corey. I smiled at them.
"You guys are so lucky you got partners together!" I exclaimed. We reached my locker and I leaned against it casually as Colin and Corey talked about everything that went on in this school. Who hangs out with who, what sports are the most popular, what styles are common, who's had a baby, etc. Apparently, Colin and Corey are 'bros'. They stick together through everything. They eventually started topping each other in things. Corey's a black belt, but Colin won state in cross-country and track last year. Corey works out every day and Colin can run a marathon without walking. I was enjoying their bickering and I almost started laughing when they just completely forgot I was there and started talking about who's more 'bad ass'.
I looked over and saw Cam talking to an extremely pretty girl. His left hand was by her head and he was leaning in very closely to her. She had long, light brown, curly hair. Her bangs were straightened and she had dark brown, almost black eyes. Her cheeks were bright red and she had braces. She was seriously giggling like a little school girl. Cam leaned in and whispered in her ear. She glanced over at me and then nodded at Cam. I blushed furiously and glanced at Corey and Colin who were still bickering at each other. I looked over to Cam again and he was walking towards me. Leaving the girl at the locker down the hall. She eyed me enviously and I looked down.
Corey and Colin immediately stopped bickering. They looked at Cam with annoyed expressions on their faces.
Cam smiled an extremely fake smile, "Boys, I need to discuss my project with my partner Lizzy. In private." They stood there angrily for a moment before giving up and walking away. I looked at Cam who had his arms crossed, and was slightly leaning backwards.
"Hello, partner," He smirked, "I want to get to know you. And I want to get started on our project soon. The sooner it's done, the better." I nodded and started to walk to my homeroom.
"That's ok with me," I agreed, "How about you come to my house after school. My parents won't care, and I have a lot of books for research because my mom's a historian."
"It's a date then," He winked and walked away. I stared at his back and observed him carefully. He walked as if he owned the school. He was so confident, but he had this bad boy quality that I was so attracted to. I shook my head, trying to get the thought out of my head, but I couldn't.
I walked in a daze to my homeroom and looked for a spot to sit. The girl that Cam was talking to gestured towards the empty seat next to her. I sat there carefully, not knowing what was going on. Something was up, I know it. She gave me an evil glare and she cannot just go from that to wanting me to sit by her.
"Hi!" She smiled a huge, fake smile, and held out her hand, "I'm Paige! I've heard so much about you already from last period. Did you really move from California? That is so cool! I heard it's amazing there!" My head started throbbing from her fake gushing of 'how we'll be great friends' and 'we already have so much in common.'
"So," She leaned in and hushed her voice, "What do you think about Cam?" She waggled her eyebrows.
"Um," I fidgeted nervously, "I don't really know who he is, so I can't really say anything."
"Please!" she laughed, "I saw you staring at him. You think he's hot! Don't worry though, everyone does. But, I'm sorry that I have to tell you this, but he's already 'talking' to someone."
"Ok," I said rolling my eyes, "I don't really care, but you're probably already tell me who he's 'talking' to aren't you?"
"I like you!" She smiled and then continued, "And yes, I was going to tell you anyway. He is talking to me."
"Wonderful," I said sarcastically.
"I know isn't it! But back off!" Her voice was mean and was almost scary. But I can kick her ass no problem. I pulled out my net book and started making my own Gmail account because according to Paige, everyone has one and they get on Google chat to talk in the middle of class. Life was so simple here. What mattered here was who was dating who, and in Heaven, what mattered was Lucifer wants to kill the Angels. I set up my account with my email address as CaliforniaGurl2012, Paige's idea, and downloaded Google chat. I immediately got an IM.
PrincessPaige:
OMG u r so connected now! Here's a list of my friend list so u don't have 2 ask everyone 4 their sn all the time.
She sent me a list about a billion screen names.
I rolled my eyes and said, "Paige, you're sitting right next to me."
PrincessPaige:
Ik, but it's waaay more fun like this don't u think so?
"No." I said out loud and she gave me an annoyed look.
PrincesPaige:
C'mon! Just try it! ull never know until u try.
I sighed and finally typed back to her giving up.
CaliforniaGurl2012:
This is stupid. And abbreviating things is even more stupid. Bye.
I shut my net book and put my head down on my desk, sleeping for the rest of homeroom. I didn't really sleep; it was more like closing my eyes to think. Cam was flirting with me according to Paige. Was I flirting back? I can't lead him on like last time. But, Jesus said that I could have a real boyfriend so my disguise isn't blown while I'm living here. Who knows? Crap! Cam is riding home with me. Or is he following me home? Either way, he's coming to my house today. What will my parents think? I said they won't care, but they might because I didn't ask at all. He called it a date. Was it a real date, or was he saying it like the human saying. I am so confused.
The rest of the day went by in a flash. Apparently, we are in block scheduling, so I only have 5 periods per day. But, I have a different class schedule tomorrow, but it's back in forth with those two days. So I will have these classes on Wednesday and Friday, too. Easy enough.
I had lunch with Colin and Corey today. They introduced me to their friends who were pretty cool. One friend stood out to me. Her name was Mary. She was loud and obnoxious, but she was really cool and my type of person. Our personalities just clicked. Cam's in my lunch today, too. He sat next to Paige and a bunch of girls that look even more annoying than her.
The last bell rang and I bolted to the entrance of the school and waited casually for Cam. Corey came up to me and gave me his number and told me we should hang out sometime. I smiled as he waved goodbye when his mom was here to pick him up.
"Are you going to keep on standing there, or what?" I jumped and turned around. Cam has a thing about sneaking up on me. "Sorry," He apologized, "You're jumpy."
"Yeah," I started pulling my keys out of my purse as we walked outside to the autumn air. I breathed in the amazing smell of trees and walked to my car ignoring the fact that Cam was right behind me, about to drive home with me.
We walked in silence and I mostly looked down at my boots that pierced the silence with their clicking. We finally reached my shiny red g6 and I was getting extremely frustrated because I was fumbling with my keys. I looked up at Cam and gave him a shy smile.
"I'm sorry," I apologized and looked at my keys again. Cam took the keys from me and unlocked the car with no sign of struggle. "Thanks," I laughed nervously as he handed my keys back. I got in and then had trouble with that stupid seat belt. Cam chuckled to himself and reached over me and buckled me in. My heart was beating out of my cheat and his fingers brushed against my shoulders and my stomach, making me breath rapidly.
"Thanks again," I said a little too breathlessly. He winked at me and I started my engine. I turned the radio on to a station that worked and it happened to be country, which I hate, but I didn't want to fumble around with that too, so I just left it.
We started driving through windy roads, and suddenly Cam starts laughing. I glanced over at him, "What?"
"This music sucks!" He laughed even harder and I glanced over at him and smiled.
"No," I denied, "It just, you're right, it sucks." I started laughing also and Cam changed the channel to apparently a popular music station.
"I actually didn't know any of the stations here," I admitted, "And I didn't like the station, but I didn't want you to help me, again."
"You are so interesting," Cam laughed and I gave him a half smile and paid attention to the road again. If only he knew how interesting I am.
I turned up the winding path of my driveway and finally notice the rich colors of red and orange. I smiled and realized how much I loved October. Well, just living here. We pulled up to my house and Cam raised his eyebrows.
"Wow, nice house," He said and I gave him a half smile.
"Thanks," I looked away and stopped the engine, "Listen, I haven't exactly told my parents that you're coming. So just be nice, and I think they'll like you." He lifted an eyebrow and I pressed my finger to my lips.
I opened the big wooden door and peaked through to see if they were lurking anywhere. I slowly walked in like a complete ninja and Cam followed me in. Walking like a normal person. Ok, I was weird. My stupid heals gave me away.
"Lizzy?" Angie asked, "Is that you?" I sighed and stood up completely and stood in the middle of the rotunda floor. I had no idea where she was so I took a guess and turned right into the library. I gasped when I walked in because it was the first time I have ever seen it.
There were bookshelves that looked like they replace the walls and they were completely filled with huge books. All for history. It was so exquisite. I looked at Cam and gave him a sign to stay out of here. I walked in slowly and smiled. She was sitting in on a leather sofa and had a pen tucked behind her ear with papers scattered all over the coffee table in front of her.
"Hey Mom," I smiled and walked towards her, "So I have a project I have to do, and so I was wondering if my partner could come here to work on it."
"He's already here, isn't he?" She asked, looking up from her book.
"Kind of," I smiled and looked back at the entryway and motioned Cam forward. He had his hands in his pockets and he gave my mother a half smile. She raised one eyebrow when she saw him and looked at me. She pursed her lips and looked down at her book again.
"Class?" She was actually quizzing me.
"English."
"Topic?"
"Roman inventions."
"Reason for topic?"
"We are about to read Julius Caesar and she wanted us to know about Rome," I said and smirked and she looked at me and she bit her lower lip in thought.
"Fine, but he isn't allowed in your room," she told me as soon as Robert walked in.
"And who is this he?" He asked and Cam and I both turned around. Crap. Dads are very protective of their daughters.
"Dad, this is Cam, he's my partner for my English project on Roman inventions," I introduced Cam to Robert and Cam was a genius. He walked up to Robert and shook his hand firmly.
"Pleasure to meet you Mr. Almquist," Cam gave him an award winning smile and Robert looked at me, then back to Cam.
"Nice, firm handshake," Robert smiled, "I like it. Please, call me Rob. Bringing boys home are we, Lizzy? That's new." I blushed furiously and glared at Robert. He was seriously trying to embarrass me. But I wouldn't back down that easily.
"Yes Dad, because I wanted you to see the man that got me pregnant," I said mischievously and his eyes widened. "Just kidding, I love you Daddy." I walked out of the library and Cam followed.
"Let's go into the game room, it has a lot of room to work in," I looked back at him and he shrugged. I opened the sliding doors and closed them carefully behind us once we were inside. I sat down on the futon, and he sat in a recliner.
"Your parents are so cool," Cam said, "You act so awkward around them though.
"Well, my dad did embarrass me in front of you," I said, "How could I not be awkward?"
"So it's true," Cam smirked, "I am the first boy you've brought home."
"Maybe," I raised an eyebrow, "But that doesn't mean anything."
"Or maybe it does," Cam waggled his eyebrows and I laughed.
"Please!" I denied. I looked down and then back at Cam. His emerald green eyes pierced through my sole.
"So," Cam said, "Tell me about you."
"Well," I shrugged, "I moved here from California. My dad's a photographer and my mom's a historian. What's left is there to say?"
"That's not a very good answer," I glared at him then sighed.
"What do you want me to say?" I asked.
"Tell me about your favorites, what you like to do in your free time," Cam shrugged, "Boys, anything." I crossed my legs.
"This might take a while," I laughed, "Do you have the time?"
"I think I just might," Cam said and popped his knuckles.
"Ok then," I clapped my hands together and leaned forward, "My name is Elizabeth Almquist, my favorite colors are blue, purple, and green. My favorite animal is a snow leopard. I don't have a favorite movie because they're all good. I don't have a favorite song because it would be different tomorrow. My favorite season is fall because of the rich colors and the weather. My favorite food is anything Italian. No boyfriend at all. And yeah, that's about it."
"No boyfriend?" Cam asked, but not really surprised.
"Nope," I sighed sadly, "None at all."
"Why not?" Cam put his chin on his fist.
"No one interests me," I admitted.
"Who does interest you?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Like a type?" He nodded, "Mysterious, funny, romantic, nice to me, but can be protective. I like a dark side also."
"Looks?" I looked down. He was exactly my type. How was I going to be able to say that without creeping him out?
"Tall, dark hair, it has to be long though," I mentioned, "Muscular, green eyes, normal sized lips that aren't too big or too small, that smile that can take my breath away. Doesn't have to be tan or anything. That's what I prefer, but I'm pretty sure that when I see 'the one' I won't even care." Cam could be the one. His smile took my breath way and he was everything I wanted.
"Sounds a lot like me," He smirked and leaned back. I blushed and looked down. "Well, I like someone who can be mysterious but can tell me anything. She has to appreciate me, but she doesn't have to worship my feet. I like the innocent girls, I feel like I'm their protector." I couldn't help but smile. Cam was being completely honest with me and it made my heart swell.
"Interesting," I muttered to myself, "Did you know that you are actually the first person I have talked to so far."
"Really?" Cam asked surprised, "What about that wimpy boy Colin, or 'I'm so buff' Corey?"
"Yeah they are nice, but all they talk about is who is better than the other," I explained.
"What about Paige?" I asked and I glared at him.
"I don't get annoyed easily, but she is so annoying," I blurted and then covered my mouth. He was 'talking' to her. She was probably everything he wanted. Then my big stupid mouth blabbered again, "I'm so sorry. She told me she was talking to you and to back off because she saw us flirting but really we were talking about our papers and I don't even know you so how could I possibly be hitting on you. But, I can understand because you are really hot. Wait, scratch that. I'm not that new girl that gets a boyfriend the first day she comes here. I am just not like that. Oh my gosh what am I saying," I stood up and walked to the window. "I'm sorry I'm such a blabber mouth." Cam all of a sudden started cracking up. "Why are you laughing at me? That was not funny at all."
"You are adorable," Cam gave me that crooked smile and I smiled too.
"Thanks, but are you, or are you not talking to Paige?" I asked. I picked at the paint on the window sill.
"Maybe that's for me to know, and you to find out," Cam smirked and my eyes widened. I used basically that same quote the first day we actually met at the masquerade. But, it could all be coincidence and he could be acting mysterious purposely. Right?
"Or you should just tell me," I gave him a huge, cheesy smile and Cam laughed.
"Fine," he sighed, "I will tell you." He didn't say anything and just stared behind me. I looked at the window and saw a huge, black Announcer. I acted like I was oblivious and looked outside where he was actually looking. I leaned against the window and glared at Cam.
"Are you going to tell me?" I asked. The Announcer started crawling up my arm and I ignored it.
"Why do you want to know?" Cam smirked and I got frustrated.
"We have already gone through this!" I complained, "I think you're hot and funny and everything that I mentioned that I liked in a guy and I don't want to ruin anything that you and Paige might have."
"What if I were to tell you that we were talking?" Cam asked, stepping forward to me. My stomach tightened and I looked down sadly.
"Well," I said not hiding my facial expression at all, "I would let you guys be and try to find someone else and maybe be friends with you. I would back off completely." Cam cocked his head to the side and looked at me with such intense eyes, I thought I was going to vomit.
"Well luckily for you," Cam said taking another step towards me, "We aren't. We just do each other favors. But not those type of favors! Favors like homework or giving each other rides, little things."
"Oh," I tried to hide how happy I was. I was seriously doing a major happy dance inside. Cam took another step forward and brushed his hand down my arm. It left a trail of goose bumps, and he actually knocked the Announcer off. He leaned in slowly and I turned my head away.
"Whoa," He said surprised, "Sorry, I thought you wanted me to."
"I do, really," I assured him, "But my dad is peaking through the window to this room." Cam turned and sure enough, Rob was there spying. I waved at him and he smiled back at me and gave me a thumbs up.
"Maybe another day then," Cam offered, "Without your parents. How about we go to a movie, take a walk in the park, anything you want."
"We'll see," I smiled and Cam looked at his wristwatch.
"I actually have to go," Cam said, "Thanks for having me over."
"Do you need a ride?" I asked. I did drive him here.
"No, I'll just cut through the woods," Cam said.
"Fine, let me walk you to the door." I walked Cam to the porch and he looked at me and smiled.
"You are beautiful," He smiled and tucked a hair behind my ear. He kissed my cheek right before he disappeared into the woods. I felt my cheek and smiled. I walked back in and went to the kitchen for some food.
"Project my ass," Rob said and I turned and looked at him wide-eyed. "He wants to get in your pants."
"Dad!" I exclaimed, "That is rude and not true!"
"What's rude and not true?" Angie walked in and Rob looked down at the newspaper.
"Oh, just how someone wants to get in our daughter's pants," Rob smirked and Angie smacked him in the back of the head. "Ow! I was just kidding!"
"Sure you were," Angie looked at me and rolled her eyes. I smirked and Rob gave me the evil eye.
"So," Angie started, "How was your first day of school?
"Interesting," I said. And sat at the bar stool. I started tracing random patterns into the granite counter.
"Anyone needing to be punched yet?" Rob laughed and I glared at him, "What? We all know your temper." Holy crap! These people really do know me. I over exaggerated rolling my eyes and smiled.
"There is this girl name Paige," I said and Rob gave Angie a 'you see!' look. "But she is so freaking annoying!"
"Is she too preppy for you?" Rob asked.
"Please," I laughed and looked down, "Yes."
"Let me guess, there's more," Rob guessed, "She likes that boy." I gave him a 'don't even go there' look. But, he went there. "Oh, so it is! And now you want to make her jealous!"
"And I'm going upstairs," I said and jumped off of the stool. I left Rob laughing in the kitchen and went to my room. I laid on my bed and looked at the ceiling. I heard a knock on my door and I sat up quickly. "Come in," I said hoping it wasn't Rob.
"Hey," Angie said peeking through the door before finally coming in. She sat on my bed and smiled at me.
"What's going on?" I asked confused. She handed me a cell phone. It was black and rectangular and had a touch screen on the front and slid open to a full keyboard.
"I decided that you should have a cell phone at your age," Angie said, "You are graduating next year and you are going to start dating. It would be more convenient for the both of us."
"Thank you," I said and stared at the brand new phone in my hand. She hugged me before kissing my forehead and leaving my room. I looked at my new phone and slid it open, then closed. At that moment I wished Cam had given me his number. I sighed and found a decent book on my bookshelf and read it till about eleven o'clock before I finally decided to go to bed.
At one o'clock in the morning, I heard a tapping on my door to outside. I jerked out of bed and looked around. I slowly stepped out of bed and the tapping noise on my door sounded again. I opened the door and was greeted by the chilly breeze. I stepped out onto the balcony and my heart stopped when I saw Corey.
"Corey?" I whispered, surprised, "How do you know where I live?"
"Everyone knows," He answered, "Listen, I just needed to talk to you." I shivered and then looked inside my bedroom.
"You can come in, I guess," I offered and stepped back inside my warm, cozy room. I sat on my bed and he sat down in the red chair. "What do you need to talk to me about?"
"I really like you," Corey said and I tried to interrupt him, but he held his hand out, "Hear me out. I know we haven't even known each other for a full day, but there is just something about the way you are around people that makes me so attracted to you. You haven't judged anyone, haven't said anything mean, and you are even patient with people arguing. It's amazing."
"Corey," I sighed, "We've only known each other for a day, maybe. I need to actually know the person for a while before I can like them."
"But you can try!" Corey objected. I looked down.
"I'm sorry," I apologized, "It's just that I have been through a lot and the last guy I dated was ju-" Corey forced my lips to his mouth and I gasped but he kept on kissing me. What an asshole! I was trying to be nice, but he didn't listen. That is part of the reason I have a temper. Because people don't listen to me! He shoved his tongue into my mouth and I was disgusted. He pushed me on my back on my bed and pinned my arms down. I have had enough! I used my actual strength and shoved him off of me, making him fly through my full length mirror. He hit the wall and I was thankful my parents' room was a floor below me on the opposite end of my house. Corey was out cold.
"Shit!" I exclaimed, "Shit, shit, shit!" I grabbed Corey and tried to wake him. He looked at me dazedly and then his eyes rolled, making him go unconscious again. I grabbed a towel and wrapped him up so he wouldn't get blood anywhere. I carried him outside, slung him on my shoulder, carried him down the balcony, to my car and drove off to the hospital. Perfect. I was wearing sweats and a hoodie.
I drove insanely fast to the hospital and arrived in less than fifteen minutes. I dragged Corey inside and ran up the reception desk. The receptionist looked at Corey, bloody and bruised, in shock.
"He tripped and fell through a mirror at my friends house," I explained, "Everyone else ran and I was the only one to take him." The receptionist dialed her phone, and almost immediately, he was taken away by doctors. He won't remember a thing.
I drove back home in a flash. I climbed up my balcony and when I reached my room, I realized there were glass shards everywhere. Crap! If my parents saw that, they would flip out. I looked in my bathroom for a dust pan broom, but there wasn't anything. I sneaked out of my bedroom and walked down the eerie hallway. My feet were freezing and I was extremely tired. I opened a random closet and I breathed out a sigh of relief. There they were, a dustpan and broom. I grabbed them quickly and ran to my room. I swept up the glass and threw the shards away. I walked back to my room and looked out the window.
It wasn't exactly pitch black outside. The sky was a midnight blue with the silhouette of the trees making the entire outside image look like a giant painting. I thought of Cam and how much I wished it was him at my window, but it wasn't. Cam is a normal human who would think it's insane to go to someone's house when they haven't known each other for a day. If only he knew that I knew him in his former life. Corey, is insane and I wondered if he would go to school tomorrow. Would he tell people what happened? I let my curtain fall and took a step back. There was a stabbing pain in my foot and I let out a whimper.
I sat on my red chair and looked at the bottom of my foot. There was a large piece of my mirror in my heal. I grabbed it and slowly pulled it out, flinching at the pain. I finally got the shard all the way out and I threw the bloody piece into the trash can. I looked at the slice in my heal in amazement as it slowly healed into a pink line. I wiped my sweaty forehead and laid back into my bed. I could have sworn I threw the glass away. I ignored the events of what happened tonight and attempted to go to sleep.
I was drifting in and out of sleep when the hair on the back of my neck stood. My eyes opened wide and looked straight at my window. Everything seemed normal outside, so I turned over slowly. Nothing was there. I turned back around, and my heart wrenched in fear. What was an empty clear curtain before, there was now a shadow that had a silhouette of a person. I scooted slowly to the opposite end of my bed. I squeezed my eyes shut and when I looked again, the shadow was gone.
I let out the huge breath I was holding and couldn't fall asleep again. My nerves have gotten the best of me and I was too terrified to be attacked in the night even though it took a lot to kill me. I suddenly remembered what I was here for. I had to find demons and their purposes. But where would I look, let alone find one? They could pull me back to heaven, but I would strive to be in Cam's presence.
I want to see him so badly that I actually thought about going to his house to see him. I don't know where he lives, but I've found him before. I looked around and thought of what I would do if I found a demon. Would I destroy him or turn him in? Or what would I do if I found a Fallen Angel who is on the side of evil? I would do whatever is necessary, but I would take him or her down.
I thought about my fighting skills and knew I would be able to take care of myself to help me fall asleep.
Flames were everywhere and I thought we were in hell, but then I realized we were on a battlefield. I looked around and saw that I had a star shot in my hand and was ready to fight. The beating of my heart was a drum that was showing signs of a battle about to begin. This was the war. The war against good and evil. I fought for good. We fought our way across the battlefield when I came face to face to the lovely emerald green eyes that I love and my heart literally stopped and my stomach turned. Cam was being surrounded by evil shadows and I took a step back.
"Cam?" I asked, shocked, hoping it was a delusion. I looked behind me at the people fighting and then forward to the people fighting behind Cam. It was like they left a ring of space for just us.
"Lizzy," He sighed, caressing my cheek, and I flinched away from him.
"Why didn't you tell me?" I asked angrily. He just shrugged.
"Well, the same reason you didn't tell me. I thought you were human," I took a step forward and Cam's eyes intensified. How could I have done this? I fell for him.
"I loved you," a single tear fell down my dirty cheek and I wiped it away quickly, "I knew it was too good to be true."
"We can still be together," Cam insisted, "We can run away from all of this. You can choose me."
"But you're evil," I sneered.
"What do you know about good and evil?" He asked, "Have you ever thought that we thought we were good and you were evil and you got your facts mixed up?"
I looked at him in shock. What if I had been wrong about everything? I was speechless. A sudden burst of light hit Cam, and he disintegrated.
"CAM!" I screamed in horror and fell to my knees, sobbing, "No."
