chapter 8

After Tori had gone, and left me dumbfounded by the extreme bipolar illness she seemed to have been suffering, there was a soft rap on the door, followed by a, "It's me, Simon." I trudged out of the chair and opened the door to a beaming Simon.

"Hey, may I come in?"

"Sure, why not." I said as I shuffled out of the door way to make room for him to enter. As soon as he came in he surveyed the room and took a seat on the rickety chair that groaned in protest. Once he was seated, I shuffled to my bed and plopped down.

"You know we had one of these in our room," he said gesturing at the chair, "Until Derek took a seat on it, his butt went right through it!"

"Oh my god, are you serious, he should have seen it coming, I mean I'm even wary about sitting on that thing" I gestured to the chair while laughing my insides out with Simon.

"Yeah, oh, um do you know what happened to Tori? she seemed extra bitchy today, and that say's a lot."

"Hmph. Well she was in my room going all bad cop interrogation on me, cried, was happy, then left angry, honestly how do you live with that?"

"It is a struggle" He said while putting a hand over his heart and putting on a cheesy dramatic sad face that made me laugh.

One things clear , that there's at least 1 decent bae sibling while the other is a flat out witch.

Then he continued to speak, "Hey if you don't mind me asking, um," he was rubbing the back of his neck by now, "What supernatural type are you?", and he gave me a sheepish grin.

"That's the big question you were struggling with?" I said raising an eyebrow teasing him.

"Um, well yea, i guess, it's just that Derek wouldn't tell us so maybe it wasn't something you were comfortable talking about…" the rest came out as nervous mumbles.

I cut him off mid-mumble, "If you thought I was uncomfortable talking about it, why are you asking about it?"

As soon as I said it his head shot up in shock, " O-oh, um, s-s-sorry"

God, this kid.

I rolled my eyes, and held my arm up before he could finish his three part apology, "God Simon, I'm just teasing, and as for supernatural type I'm a werewolf, sorcerer, witch, necromancer, shaman mix" I stated simply.

When I looked over at him though his jaw was slacked open, at first I felt little disappointed like I felt he wouldn't act like Tori about it; until he burst out saying, "Oh my god! That's so cool!"

"Really?" I said cocking a brow at him.

"Hell yah!," he was practically glowing, "That's awesome you're like a little piece of everything!"

I actually laughed at that.

We chatted for another hour or so, until he got up, stretched and said, "Hey I'm going to go and check on D"

"Kay, see ya", with that he got up and left, leaving happiness in his wake, unlike Tori.

Just as the door was opened one Bae exited and the other entered. Dear god, save me now.

I decided to ignore IT, and pulled out my new sketchbook, and started sketching out a pair of IT addressed me.

"Derek's calling you"

"Why?"

"Does it really look like I care why?", she said as she shot me a disapproving glare. God she has issues.

She stormed out right after that. I looked down at myself well I was wearing an oversized t shirt and decent enough underwear, not that you could see it 'cause the shirt went down to about mid thigh, so I just went over to the washroom to wash my face and brush my teeth.

Once that was done I slipped on my ratty combat boots, clad in an oversized shirt, and knocked on the guys' door. After the first rap the door flew open, and I caught a glimpse of Derek's looming figure heading for the bed. He sat down on the edge and, waited till I chose a spot to sit down, the thing is there wasnt many, but there was a table right across from him so I leapt up on that and crossed my legs.

Just then Derek looked up and a sudden emotion flicked across his eyes but it was gone as soon as it came and left an emotionless mask in it's wake.

"So what's up"

Derek looked up at me reluctantly before speaking, "When do you think your next change is" Oh. Of course, how could I forget?

"Um, maybe 2-4 days from now, what about you?"

"About the same time, the reason why I ask this is because it's best to have them planned for multiple reasons, such as relieving stress while on the run. It makes things easier for everyone, 'cause apparently no one likes a snappy werewolf",He said as he shot me a devilish grin, and I laughed, "Another important reason would be that Tori and Simon would have chances of getting separated from us so it's best to know ahead of time, and know a meeting place for all of us incase anyone of us get's split up, the reasons are endless but do you get the picture?"

"Yeah, but the thing is I change on will, if I want I could do it now, and be good for the next week, how about you?"

"I can't. I've only fully changed twice, and before that three gruesome partial changes" He said, while slightly grimacing at the memory.

Just then I was hit with an idea, "Derek! how about I try to teach you to change when you want!"

He looked up at me expression a bit deflated and disagreeing, "It's not going to work"

were the last words he mumbled under his breath.
