A/N: Next chapter up!
Everyone has been sooooooo nice and supportive so I just wanted to say thanks for the sweet reviews and ideas! You guys are amazing!
Simon waved me in the opposite direction of the hall with the picture. We walked in to a huge library. I mean like bigger than most peoples houses. I will most likely be spending every single free moment I have here. But it would need some cleaning. The couch and chair in the middle of the room were covered by white sheets and it was to dark to read, If there wasn't a large window on the side wall letting morning light in the room I wouldn't be able to see to walk.
"Wow" I said looking around in awe. I lightly smoothed my hand over the dusty spine of one of the books. It was called "The Awakening" I wonder what that's about.
"I bet you like to read. You look smart. Not that you look like a geek. You just seem smart not like most of the pretty girls I've met." He told me.
I think it was supposed to be a compliment and I should be flattered. I mean he was a really nice cute guy. And he seemed genuinely interested in me, that doesn't happen a lot. I may not stutter any more but I can still be shy. And I'm kind of a book nerd so I'm not really that good with people. But as he said it an image of piercing green eyes flashed through my mind and I just wanted to find out who they belonged to and where I can find him. Weird right. Maybe all this stress is messing with my brain.
I didn't want to be mean so I just sort of ignored it. I pointed to a room that would loop around in a circle and come back to the hall with the picture. Yeah I know I'm sneaky.
"That's the living room. It's my favorite room in the house. You were in art school to be a director right? So you have to like movies. We should watch one together sometime." He suggested to me as we walked into the room and reaching for my hand.
I lifted my hand to brush my hair behind my ear. Does this guy not know how to take a hint? I mean seriously I haven't shown the least bit of interest in him and he goes around trying to grab my hand.
The room we walked into had I big TV and a bunch of chairs and couches. There was a desk and a computer in the corner. I wondered why there was a big TV and up to date computer in this house. Everything else seemed to be from 20 or30 years old and looked like they hadn't been touched in almost that long. I looked at Simon with a questioning look.
"We brought those from my house. I can't live without TV and Tori is a total Tec nerd." He explained guessing my question.
I'm really glad I managed to avoid the movie thing. I can just see it now him saying something stupid and me trying to watch the movie. It would be total torture.
I nodded my head and started for a hallway on the other side of the room. More accurately the hallway.
We walked down it and I pretended to be looking at all the pictures but I was so on edge that I didn't even register what I was looking at. We finally made it to the picture. It's time to get so answers.
"Hey that's you isn't it?" I asked keeping my eyes on the strange boy from the picture.
"Yeah that's me and that" He said pointing to Tori "Is Tori"
"Who's that?" I asked innocently pointing to Green Eyes like I was only mildly interested when really I was bouncing in anticipation on the inside.
"That's Derek. We grew up together at the lab" He told me.
So Green Eyes name is Derek. It seemed to fit him well. Derek. I could get used to that name. And he was an experiment. I wonder what type of supernatural he is. I voiced my question to Simon.
"He's a werewolf, but he's not like people make them out to be. He's not some wild animal that goes around attacking people." He said as if he was expecting me to freak out.
Yeah I'd heard about werewolves but I didn't believe what people said. I guess they could be dangerous if they wanted to but so could I. Have you ever tried to stop an army of the dead? No? Well let me tell you its nearly impossible. You ever tried killing something that's already dead. Do you see why it would be hard? Yeah I can do that.
"I know they aren't like that. I've heard the stories I don't believe them. You're very protective of him?" I asked him hoping to get more of Derek's life story.
"Yeah we were like brothers" He told me.
The "Were" part made me nervous. What did he mean? Did they get in a fight or did something happen to him? I started to panic. I don't know why. I don't know this guy from boo, but there was something about in his eyes…
"What do you mean "were"?" I asked afraid of the answer. My stomach was tied up in knots and just the though of his emerald eyes never opening again made my hands shake.
"When we were making plans to escape from the Ed group when the people in charge decided to move him. They didn't tell my dad why or were. They told us we couldn't see him any more because he wasn't to be trusted. That he is dangerous. They let us say good bye and we promised we'd find a way to break him out. Were still working on it though." He explained sounding frustrated.
"But that's enough depressing stuff for today. How about we play some soccer? I'll go easy on you though. I used to play with D and I was pretty good if I do say so myself."
But I didn't want to play soccer and I didn't want to watch a movie. I wanted to find my aunt and Kit and ask why they haven't found a way to save Derek and what my dream could mean.
Suddenly my dream made sense. I started to walk away from Simon to go and tell my aunt and kit my plan.
"Were are you going?" Simon called after me.
"I know how to save Derek" I called back to him
