Chapter 9

Impossible

Maggie

I opened my eyes and I was engulfed with pain through out my whole body. Sitting up slowly, I right away felt dizzy and my head felt weird. "Whoa," I muttered to myself. I tried standing, but I fell right on my bed again, the floor almost feeling like it was sliding from under my feet.

"Mom! Dad!" I yelled. But after a couple a minuets of waiting, no one came. I was alone. They were at work and I was alone, feeling sick and horrible.

I moaned and laid back in bed, my body shacking. What was going on? What had happened this weekend. That's when I remembered. The party. I had had Ali, Alex and Chase over and they spent the night, and we had a snow ball fight, but what happened after that? All I remember was getting dizzy and waking up here.

I brought my hands up to my face and rubbed my eyes. This was great. No on was home, I couldn't walk, and I was to dizzy to the point of where I felt like passing out.

Grabbing something to keep me up, I walked over to the bathroom and turned the light on. I gasped, my moving face looking pale white. It looked like I was going to get sick. And I did.

"Maggie?" I heard behind me. Someone grabbed my hair and held it back for me as I threw up. "I don't feel too good," I choked out.

Hands played with my hair as they held it back, cold fingers softly brushing my neck. "You good?" he asked me. I nodded and he helped me up, taking me to my bed. "Why do I feel like crap?" I asked him.

Alex's face came into view, but he looked as miserable as I was. But no words could form in my mouth. "Maggie, just rest. You got sick during the snow ball fight and I took you inside. Your parents went out to get you some medicine, that's all. Everything is all right. It is Saturday night," Alex told me

I closed my eyes tightly shut and moaned. "Man, I've never felt like this before. Wait, what about Ali? Did she get sick like I did?" I asked him.

"No, but she is back in the hospital," Alex muttered softly. Sighing, I opened my eyes again and Chase was now next to Alex. "Why are you guys still here?"

Chase walked over to the chair in my room and sat down, crossing his legs. He had the same smirk on his face, but it almost seemed fake. "Your parents asked us to watch you," He answered for me.

Getting up, the dizziness slowly vanished and I walked out into the living room. "Well, you guys just leave. I'm not in any mood to have you here," I claimed. Alex stood back from me like he was afraid to come near me.

"What? I just told you to leave. Don't just stand there," I said harshly, sitting down on the couch. Chase walked into the room. "Maggie, we can't leave you alone," Was all he said.

"Why not?" I coughed. Alex looked at me then at Chase. "We can't tell you, but you need to trust us," Alex answered me, but his face looked wrong for the answer. Something was wrong.

"Get out. I don't care what you guys are trying to do, but you need to leave. Just leave me be for a couple of days to get better," I told them. Alex started towards the door but Chase narrowed his eyes and walked over to the couch.

"You're making a big mistake by making us leave Maggie. Just be carful," Chase sighed and walked out of the house after Alex. I heard the voices on the porch and I got up slowly and walked to the door to get a better listen.

"Alex, you need to watch her. Use your ability and watch her. She needs to be kept safe," Chase hissed at Alex. "Chase, you saw me earlier. I almost attacked her. I can't go through that again."

Chase moaned. "Alex, you're just watching her. Nothing will happen, I promise. We well take shifts. You during the day, me at night. It's as simple as that. They want her. They took Ali, and now they will come for her. You don't want this life for her, do you?"

My eyes grew wider as I listened. What were they talking about? And why did Alex claim to have almost attacked me? What were they protecting me from?

I turned around and walked to my couch, knowing something was up, and even though I was small and shy, I was going to get the bottom of this. I was going to act like Ali and get answers. It was the only way.

Chase

I sat at home with Alex, going over the plan. He was scared for her and himself, and I understood why.

"Do you think they are doing it?" Alex asked me. "I have no idea, but they did it to use before we changed, didn't they? If they have that power over humans, they could very well have that power over vampires," I told me.

He moaned. "I don't want to be that person again Chase. I'll get people killed and you know it."

I sighed. Alex looked at me. "Why did you come back?" He suddenly asked me. The question surprised me. The conversation and taken a hard left and I didn't want to tell him the answer just yet.

"I can't tell you," I whispered. Alex was suddenly in my face. "Why are you here? It has something to do with Maggie and Ali, doesn't it?"

I sat down in the living room chair and looked up at Alex. "Okay, I'll tell you, but you won't like it. One bit," I hissed at him.

Alex sat down across from me and I began with the story.

"When I left those 13 years ago, I joined them. I had no where to go, and they sucked me back in. They were telling me their plans of the future. It scared me. Me! The most fearless vampire and most mean, most bad. Their plans were recluses. Alex, if you saw what they were planning, you would have run away just like I did."

I paused and watched Alex with his eyes wide. "What were they planning?" He asked me.

"Well, they were researching werewolves. Yes, werewolves exist. And they wanted to find some and figure out how the curse worked. Well, when they found one, they were baffled. Yes, werewolf bites can change a human, but they found that is you insert the saliva into a human, they would change and you could control them. So they started to recruit humans and make them into wolves so the vampires could have, oh what's a good term. Slave. They used the wolves as Slaves. The made the wolves go out into the day and get food for them. It was horrible Alex. So many humans brought into the world of the supernatural."

Alex was shacking his head in disbelief. I went on. "They started to think that they shouldn't be so obvious about how they take humans and have them in the news turned up missing. So, they started to choose sick, like close to dying, humans."

"No. No, no, no, no. Don't say it," Alex muttered. "Alex. They took Ali to make her theirs. She is going to be a wolf and her mind will be brainwashed and she will be under their command," I stopped and sighed.

"But what does Maggie have to do with this?" Alex muttered to me. I stood up. "Alex, that is a very good question, but even I don't know the answer to that."

Alex suddenly yelled. I stepped back and he got up. "Well we have to do something! If they want Maggie, they will have to go through me. But I am going to find out why they want her."

"Alex wait. I've decided that I am going to join them again. I am going to find out what they want, but you have to stay and watch Maggie while I go," I stopped Alex from leaving and turned him towards me. "She will be safe, I promise. Just give me time and I will find out what they want with her."

Alex just nodded and then told me something. "You've fallen in love with her, haven't you?" I stepped back and had a smirk on my face. "It's my job to take things from you brother, and what can I say. She sort of has that pull on me, just like you. I might not be in love with her, but she is growing on me," I walked towards the door and nodded to him.

"I'll see you in a couple of days brother and tell you what's going down."

Alex just watched me leave as I went to pretty much face the death of me, and I knew it.

Maggie

School had been canceled today because of snow. And it was September! I was feeling better, and I knew what I was doing today.

"Mom, I'm going out! I'll be back later!" I called. "Okay honey! Be careful in the snow!" She called back.

I grabbed my keys, ran out to my car, and drove towards Alex's house.

His house was so beautiful with the snow falling, covering it. I smiled at the scene. I took a mental picture and got out of my car, trudging through the heavy snow and up to his door.

I heisted as I stood there. I held my hand up, not knowing if I should do this, but without thinking, I brought my hand down and knocked loudly.

I waited for a good minute before Alex opened the door, a towel in his hands. "Maggie, wow, this is um, a surprise. Um, come in," He told me, opening the door more to let me in. I smiled sweetly at him, walked in and took my shoes off.

He helped me with my coat and took it over to the coat rack. "What's up?" He asked, walking towards the kitchen. "Um, nothing. I just was all cooped up at the house and needed to get out," I said coolly.

"Oh," was all he said to me, going to the stove and pulling out some brownies. "I made these for you," he told me. I laughed. "Really? You cook?" I asked him.

"Well, when you live alone, you learn some things," He laughed with me. "Well, it smells good," I told him, breathing in the sweet scent of the brownies.

"HaHa, good," He nodded aquwardly. I turned and went to the living room, looking around. "Where's Chase?" I asked him.

"He's, um, out. He'll be back in a few days," Alex told me. I turned to him and narrowed my eyes. "Okay, what's up?" I asked him. Alex looked at me dumbfounded. "What are you talking about?" He asked me.

"Who are these people trying to find me? Why did you almost attack me? Why can't I remember a thing from Saturday? Where is Chase really go? And WHO TOOK ALI!" I yelled at Alex. He took a step back from me, his eyes wide. "Um." He could say anything. "Right, I knew you would tell me. I guess I just have to go through the journals upstairs."

I broke into a run and went up the stairs but Alex was in front of me in a heart beat. "How?" I looked back at where I was and then looked back at him. "I can't believe I have to tell you now. This is not what I wanted Maggie! You ruined everything my listening in on Chase and I!" Alex yelled at me, taking my hand and leading me to the couch.

He pushed me gently down onto the couch and I watched him as he paced back and forth. "Alex, what the hell is going on?" I asked him.

Alex didn't answer me. "I want answers right now Alexander Mercer!" I yelled at him. He stopped pacing and looked at me. "Maggie I…" He couldn't tell me, I knew that. But I didn't care.

"Alex, just tell me. Please. I don't want to go a second without knowing what happened to Ali. Please," tears were filling my eyes. "Oh, Maggie, don't cry," Alex kneeled down and whipped the tears from my cheek.

"I can't lose my best friend Alex. And If you know something, just tell me," I cried.

Alex sighed and looked at the ground. "I can't tell you who is trying to find you, but I can tell you is that they erased you memory of Saturday. And before you say anything, yes they can do that. They took Ali because they want her for something and Chase went to go get her back if he can. But the reason I attacked you, well, um…" Alex was struggling to get it out.

I put my hand on either side of his face and made him look at me. "Alex, I trust you." He brought his hand up and held my hand, a tiny smile on his face but it quickly went away as quickly as it came. "It's not that simple Maggie. You shouldn't trust me at all," Alex suddenly turned his head towards the kitchen like he heard something.

"Stay, I'll be right back. Please, just do what I say," He told me. He stood up and walked towards the kitchen and walked to the door that lead to the basement.

Alex was stupid to think I was going to do what he told me. I got up and walked right to the door and stood in the door way. "Alex?" I asked. I found the light switch and headed down the stairs, only to find Kaitlyn strapped to a chair with chains, her face filled with blood and her eyes blood shot.

"Kaitlyn? What the hell?" I ran over to her and undid the chains, but as I did, she lunged at me, her mouth around my neck. I screamed but before she could do any damage, something took her off me.

"God Damn it Maggie! You could have been killed! I told you not to come down here!" I looked up and saw Alex's arms around Kaitlyn as she struggled to attack me. I looked closely and saw that she had fangs.

My eyes got wide. "Impossible," I whispered. Alex got her back into the chair, putting the chains around her again. She screamed a blood curdling scream as he did. He came over, picked me up with no effort at all and we were suddenly in the living room.

Alex dropped me onto the couch, but I quickly stood up again. "Alex, what the hell was that? Why is Kaitlyn chained in you basement and why did she just try to bite me!" I screamed at him.

"Because we are Vampires Maggie!" He screamed back, his eyes full of anger. It made me fall back onto the couch. I sat there on the couch, full of fear and wonder. Vampires weren't real, but here was one, standing in front of me, with sadness in his eyes. Great. What have I gotten myself into?

She finally knows. I didn't want her to know, but it was time and many more things will happen. More is coming, I PROMISE! Please Review and tell me what you thought of the chapter!
