Hey everyone :)
So a lot has happened since the last time that I've updated . . . but I'll fill you all in at the end!
I'm now only going to dedicate the chapter to the first five people to review! This one is for . . . XxBOOKWORM1207xX, ThunderEmeryce, GallagherGirlMacey, Kimberkids, kinanbon x3, and everyone else that reviewed.
I also want to know who's point of view you like better. Don't want to rewrite everything in each of their views.
Chapter 16
Mary-Lynette's POV
I couldn't believe that he knew Ash, and that he was actually talking to him right at this moment. I wonder where he is now. Is he on his way back here? What would he think if I was here when he got back? Does he still want me as much as I want him, even after I told him to leave? I toned out the rest of the conversation. I looked to Hannah and mumbled an apology before leaving the room.
I made it to the staircase before I could faintly hear a voice behind me. Turning around I saw that Poppy was following me.
"Are you sure that I should be staying here? I mean, I don't know what's going on completely, and it's also not like I actually planned this. My friends have to be going crazy by now." The tears weld in my eyes. I just wanted to get out of here before he came back. I couldn't
handle it if he told me to get away.
"You'll be safer here than anywhere else." Poppy came up to me and wrapped her arms around me. "We'll tell you everything that we can, trust me. As for the rest . . ." She pulled away slightly to look me in the face. "Why don't we just go and get your things, we can also tell your friends what's going on." We got to the bottom of the stairs when she stopped. "Hey Rashel, do you want to come with us?"
A girl with dark hair and green eyes came out of the nearby room with some toast in her hand. She looked me over before looking at Poppy.
"Sure." She ate the rest of her food and came towards us. "I don't have anything better to do until Quinn comes back anyways."
She knows Quinn? The same Quinn that was a big threat to us that Ash had to convince that the sisters were going to stay and that Mark and I didn't know about Night World. What was he doing here, if they were about the greater good and everything?
I knew that Ash was going to make up for what he did in his past, but I never thought that he would be doing anything like this. Quinn on the other hand, I didn't completely get. If he was doing the greater good than why was he such a big threat before?
"We're going to be making sure that she's safe until the guys get back. Thierry wants us five to take shifts. We can figure that out when they get back though." Poppy filled Rashel of the plan of getting my things. Before long we were in a car driving to the hotel.
The only response that either of them got out of me was the address of the hotel room. They knew that I didn't like the idea of staying there while they watch me, but they didn't say anything. They were complete strangers to me. The only reason that I wasn't running the moment we got outside was the fact that they knew Ash. That meant that the sisters knew them, and hopefully would insist that we should leave.
But the purpose of us coming here was so I could see him. Did they really think this through completely? Did they even tell him about it? If they did than he definitely didn't want to see me seeing as he never showed. I kept myself into my thoughts the entire time we were in the car.
When the car stopped in front of the hotel I quickly got out. I just wanted to leave now more than ever. I've decided that if he didn't want to see me than I wasn't going to see him. I would just have to convince the girls that the sisters can protect me perfectly fine from anything that comes near me.
I could hear the sisters talking as I stood outside the door to the dorm. Their voices were muffled through the door as they talked. I knocked on the door and waited for one of them to open the door.
"MARE!" Jade wrapped her arms around me the second that she saw me and I did the same. It was good to be with her again. I just hoped that she would get the other girls to leave me alone. She let go of me and finally noticed that I wasn't alone in the hallway. "Who are you guys?" Jade scanned the girls over. She tensed slightly when she looked at their faces.
"I'm Poppy and this is Rashel." She gestured to the other girl. "We're here to make sure that she's completely safe."
"We can make sure that she's safe." Rowan walked up behind Jade. She smiled when she looked at me but went completely serious when she talked to the others. "Besides, we're leaving tomorrow anyways."
"No offence or anything but we can handle the situation better than you can." Rashel and Poppy tensed slightly when they saw the sisters. There was something going on between all of them and I couldn't fully understand what it was.
They all made a negotiation with each other. Poppy and Rashel were going to wait outside while I got my things. Then the sisters were also going to pack their things so they could still stay with me.
"What the heck is going on though?" I asked the sisters while packing my bag. If the others weren't going to tell me than I knew that the sisters would.
"They know what we are." Rowan explained while Jade ran around the room making sure that we had everything. "The smaller girl is a vampire. She said that someone was after you and they can't figure out why. I told her that we'll help them figure out everything but we had to be with you." She placed her hand on my shoulder as she spoke. "We'll figure this out as fast as we can but I'm not going to let you stay with them alone."
"Neither of us are." Jade slowed down finally when she carried several bags. "It's obvious that there's going to be more supernatural's, she smelled like wolf too." Jade's eyes lingered on me. "We'll get the threat away from you as fast as we can." She looked over at Rowan for a moment. They both were silent and avoiding me.
"What is it?" I knew that they were talking with their minds. Usually I wouldn't let it get to me but in this case I knew that it probably involved me.
"Nothing." Rowan quickly answered while Jade walked away. "We were just deciding if we were going to get Kestrel to come back from her touring early, but we should have everything figured out by then." She hardly looked at me as she spoke now. Something was with her but I didn't know what it was and I wasn't about to ask.
We were all silent as we went back to the mansion. I just stared out the window wishing that I never came on this road trip with the sisters. I could be at home right now watching a movie with Bunny or something.
There was more life in the mansion now. People were constantly walking around with others. Most of them slowed down to look at us. I looked over to the sisters to see them scanning around almost like they were looking for something. The girls led us up the staircase to the room I woke up in earlier.
"Thierry is talking to the guys that just got back from their trip. They'll be watching you for a while and figure out what happened before we got there." Poppy spoke right to me. She was easily avoiding the sisters at the moment. "They'll come here right when they're done and help figure out how serious the threat it at the moment." Without saying anything else she left us alone in the room.
"What is up with you two?" The sisters continued to look around the room searching for something. "It's almost like you're expecting something to happen at any moment."
"There's something that you need to know about this place Mare." Jade looked at me while she talked. She didn't seem like her usual self, she wasn't in her usual perky self anymore.
"Jade, we shouldn't say anything about it." Rowan kept her gaze on Jade.
"We have to do this first, than you can go and see your current girl." A male voice penetrated through the door. They were coming back in. The sisters moved in front of me slightly when the handle started to turn.
When the door opened three guys walked in. One had silky light brown hair, a subtle, intelligent face, and gray eyes. He smiled slightly when he saw us. The girls started to get comfortable in the room, until they saw the next guy. He had clean features that were strongly chiseled but almost delicate, a body that was lithe and flat-muscled, if not very tall, and his eyes were dark as they looked at me.
"What in the world are you doing here?" Rowan pulled me behind her as she stared at the guy that just walked in.
"Nice to see you too Rowan." He looked behind him when he said her name. "A lot has changed since the last time I saw you."
I looked past everyone to see the other guy that just walked in. He froze in the doorframe when he looked up from the ground. My breathing stopped as I tried to think through this.
Ash!
