chapter 10

Derek and I were heading out the door, when I smelled it. Derek must have too because, his eyes had widened a fraction as his head whipped around to look at me for confirmation. I grimly nodded.

Outside this door, down the hall, were two werewolves. Not just any two werewolves. It was the two creeps from the coffee shop. They must have been seriously pissed to have followed us here.

I walked towards the door not hearing any advance from the 2. Either they were waiting for us to make a move or they were just oblivious to us. but sadly the latter was most unlikely.

I inched towards the door and once I was in front I grabbed the door handle and slid it open, ran to Tori and Simon's room, did not bother knocking and rammed down the door with ease.

Tori and Simon were staring wide eyed till they understood what was happening and, grabbed their bags and jumped out of the window. Luckily we had a first floor hotel room.

Then I heard grunting and other noises that indicated that a fight was going on .As I ran to the door that lead to the hallway, the scene in front of me confirmed my suspicions, and like last time Ramon was holding him down, while Liam was getting some cheap shots in.

Ramon then saw me and bolted towards me, in a charging manner, the kind you'd see a football player do before they'd tackle you, only difference is that tackle never made a connection, cause' I teleported behind him poked him on the shoulder, and threw him off balance.

Next I teleported over to Derek grabbed his collar and teleported to the car. As soon as we were in I yelled at Simon to go, and he let out a rather girly yelp, and Tori was cursing under her breath, while holding a hand to her heart.

"Go!" I yelled one more time, and that was that. Simon was now racing out of the tiny motel parking lot and speeding off onto the highway.

Tori abruptly turned around and said, "Who the hell were those guys?"

I pinched the bridge of my nose from the oncoming headache that I sometimes get if I use my powers, and quite frankly Tori's bitchy demanding voice wasn't helping the cause.

"I honestly don't know. Those were the guys at the coffee shop who attacked Derek and I yesterday, how they tracked us down I have no clue. All I know is next exit into a town we're sinking this baby" I said as I patted the car seat, Simon let out a whine of protest, about how much he liked it until Tori shot him daggers did the grumbling stop.

The rest of the car ride was eerily silent, like everyone had their vocal chords ripped out. It was a bad silent. I got cautious glances from Derek every few minutes as if he expected me to spontaneously combust or something like that.

The silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Another 15 minutes not a word and, it was just ghostly now.

I let out a heavy sigh of defeat and everyone turned to look at me and, Derek's head had whipped around so fast I'm surprised he didn't get whiplash.

"You guys," I whispered tentatively, "Um… want to grab something to eat?"

Simon and Derek let out a sigh of relief, and Tori gave me a questioning stare through the mirror, I just shrugged, and pulled out a sketch book when Simon turned around and, was getting ready to say something, until his eye caught the pencil poised above the paper and his eyes sparkled as he said the next few words, "You draw?"

"Yeah, you?" he gave an enthusiastic nod and said, "What do you do?"

"Realistic you know pencil, and ink stuff, what about you?"

"I do comics and stuff", I smiled I've always been fond of comics since a young age, I told him that and he smiled, and asked me what kind of comics I liked.

Soon we were chatting away, and Derek seemed less tense, Tori had even turned on the radio, with some random pop song playing, when Simon opened the glove box, and pulled out a couple of cd's, flipped through them before he found the one he wanted and popped it in.

Tori gave a whine of protest, nudged him in the arm halfheartedly, and returned to looking out the window.

Only when the first song came on did I recognize it as 'Helena' the first track off Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge, a, My Chemical Romance album, so I asked him to put on track 7, which was 'The Jetset Life Is Gonna Kill You".

He gave me a wicked smile while Tori let out a snort and a discreet, "Loser" under her breath. Simon apparently heard it too and stuck his tongue out at Tori, who responded by trying to grab it, and that got a light chuckle and shake of the head from Derek. I turned to smile at him and he pulled out an granola bar from his pocket and handed it to me. I murmured a thank you ,unwrapped the bar and started eating it.

I started staring out of the window thinking maybe this won't be that bad.
