Okay, I don't own the songs Under Pressure, Let It Be or New. Okay I know you guys are all pretty confused by now probably but things are going to start making sense…hopefully. Anyway here it is!
Thalia slammed her locker door shut. It was the last day of school before the winter break and Jude hadn't been at school all week. In other words, she was pissed off! 'Of course right when I decide to give the brat a chance he decides not to show up to school. Welcome to my life.'
She was making her way to lunch when a voice stopped her. "Um excuse me miss but I seem to be lost. I'm new here and I was just wondering if you could point me in the direction of the cafeteria?" the voice said with an accent. 'British?' Thalia wondered.
She turned around and was shocked, this boy was god-like. He was tall and you could tell under his sweater that there were some nice muscles. He had reddish-brown hair and the most beautiful green eyes, and when he smiled shyly a perfect set of pearly white teeth.
'Say something you idiot! You're staring!'
"Hi um, I'm headed off to lunch too so you can just follow me if you like," Thalia offered. How she got all the words out smoothly she didn't know.
"Really? Thanks, I'm Oliver by the way. Oliver Beckett," the boy said smiling that cute smile again.
"I'm Thalia, where are you from Oliver?" she asked trying to make conversation.
"London England, my accent didn't give me away?," Oliver joked. His voice had a sweet boy next door sound to it.
Thalia laughed, "I guessed you were British but I just wanted to be sure you weren't from Wales or something and embarrass myself later."
"Ah very smart move, where do you want to sit?" he asked as they entered the cafeteria.
Thalia scanned the room to see a sulking Alex and a bored looking Valerie. "Um we could sit with my friends, they're both girls so I'm sorry."
"No that's quite alright, I don't mind. Maybe people will think I'm a ladies man," he said his smile getting wider each time he did so.
'You mean you're not?' Thalia highly doubted that he wasn't and as soon as he realized all the better looking girls here he'd forget her completely. One flirty gaze from Cassie Moth should do it.
As they approached, Alex straightened up and smiled her first smile all week. She wasn't taking the break from Tyler very well at all. The once bored Valerie was suddenly very alert.
"Hi guys, this is Oliver he's new here. Oliver this is Alex and Valerie," Thalia explained as the two other girls waved to indicate themselves.
"Hello ladies, it's nice to meet you" Oliver said as he sat down next to Thalia.
"Nice to meet you too, how do you like it here?" Alex asked.
"It's nice, although I don't really get all the fuss about this winter formal thing. We didn't have one at my old school in London," Oliver said.
"Well it's the only dance freshman can go to, and seniors are the only ones who can go to prom so yeah, the rest of us kind of freak out," Valerie answered as she took a sip from her coke.
"Oh I see, so all of you have dates I would guess," Oliver said. Alex was suddenly very interested in her French fries.
"Um I'm going with a guy from my chemistry class, are you going with anyone Thalia," Valerie said trying to tiptoe around Alex.
"No one yet, I don't think I'll go. Stuff to do you know," Thalia said. Derek had offered to take her because Desiree told him she didn't want to go, but as soon as Desiree heard that she suddenly wanted to go really badly.
"What about you Alex," Oliver asked.
'God please don't let her kill him, he knows not what he does,' Thalia prayed.
"I'm not sure, I might ask a friend from another school," Alex said with anger in her voice. She was gripping the table so hard Thalia was afraid the girl's alien strength would break it. Thalia turned to see what was the problem, and immediately wished she hadn't.
Tyler had his arm around no other than Cassie Moth, who hated Alex with a passion. The two were whispering something that was extremely funny since Cassie was cracking up.
"Uh, did I say something?" Oliver asked with his sandwich in hand.
"No you're fine. Hey um Alex, could I borrow your notes for History? I totally zoned out today," Thalia said trying to change the subject.
Alex still staring at Tyler answered Thalia sweetly, a little too sweetly, "Of course, and you know what? I'm definetley asking that friend I think."
'Oh no, this is going be really bad at home today.' Thalia thought as she finished her turkey sandwich, dreading what dinner later that night was going to be like.
At the end of the day, Thalia was rather reluctant to go home. 'What was Tyler thinking pulling something like that?
"Hi Thalia," a voice said interrupting her reverie. Oliver.
"Hey Oliver, how was your first day?"
"It was pretty good. I'm actually sad it's over and break's starting though," Oliver said walking by her side.
"Really? Why's that?" Thalia asked, most kids no all kids loved getting out of school.
"Well I don't really know anything about town, like where to hang out so I'm probably going to be bored all break," Oliver said sadly.
Thalia felt really bad now, "You know, I'm not doing much over break give me your number and maybe we can chill."
"Oh that would be great here," Oliver said as he wrote his number down on a piece of paper for her. "I'll probably text you later tonight, maybe we could catch a film tomorrow or something."
"Sounds good, I'll text you so you can have my number," Thalia said as she starting typing on her phone. Oliver's buzzed seconds later.
"Alright, um I'll see you later then," Oliver said as he left the building and walked down the street.
Thalia smiled to herself, a boy had just asked to spend time with her. Well that one boy oh what was his name, had wanted to do stuff with her plenty of times but she didn't really like him. God, what was his name?
Thalia tried to remember the boy's name as she walked through the parking lot to Alex's car. All of a sudden a card blew into her face and landed on the ground. She picked it up and turned it over: the joker. Thalia looked up to the sky looking for trace of where the card might have come from.
'Jude.'
It was one week into the three week break and Thalia was already having a migrane from the bickering Alex and Tyler had been doing since they got home a week ago. That's why Thalia had spent most of her time with Oliver, and was about to leave to meet him. In addition to that, the "S" shaped cut on her hand and somehow gotten deeper and was starting to sting a bit but never bled. It was like a think membrane of skin was keeping it from bleeding.
"You just had to flaunt it right in my face didn't you? That's low Tyler real low," Alex shouted, as Thalia made her way through the common room.
"I wasn't flaunting anything! I'm not interested in that skank!" Tyler yelled back.
"Oh really? Because it didn't look that way," Alex shouted, as Thalia left the common room and headed downstairs to leave to meet Oliver at the ice rink. She sighed as the doors closed behind her.
'It's so obvious those two are miserable without each other so they should just get back together. But no that wouldn't be any fun would it?' Thalia thought as she teleported herself off the island and into downtown. She arrived in one of the stalls in the girl's bathroom of the ice rink.
'Good, I'm not in the Boy's room this time. That was embarrassing.' When Thalia first found out she could teleport she ended up landing in the boy's bathroom of a school in China. It didn't end well, let's just say that. Forgetting about the memories she walked out and found Oliver.
He smiled and gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek, he was much more comfortable around her now. "You ready?"
"Yup, let's go," she replied as they went to get skates. They laced their skates up and wobbled arm in arm out onto the ice.
Once on the slippery floor, the two became more balanced and able to glide. Thalia had been skating since she was three and was spinning circles around Oliver who just smiled at her.
"You look like a pixie or something," he said to her, "Just something magical, but you've always had that sense about you at least to me." He grew closer and took her hand in his.
"Oh I didn't tell you? My mother's Tinkerbell," Thalia said, making him laugh.
His statement worried he thoughr, 'Does he know what I am? I haven't sensed anything magical about him so I don't think he would.' So she shook the feeling off.
The two spent the rest of the afternoon just gliding around the rink joking and flirting. When it got dark they decided to end it and just walk around the town.
"Hey Thalia can I tell you something?" Oliver asked looking quite nervous as he gripped his hot chocolate that they had just purchased.
"Sure go ahead," she said taking a sip of her warm drink.
"Okay, you promise not to freak out?" Thalia nodded. Oliver sighed as he pulled them into a deserted alley and then continued, "Alright just watch." He handed her his cup, and then wrapped his arms around her, the next thing Thalia knew they were on top of the City Hall building.
"H-how did you?" Thalia asked.
"I'm a sorcerer," Oliver blurted out, and waited for Thalia's response. She was silent so he decided to speak, "If you never want to see me again I totally understand."
Thalia laughed, "No it's totally fine. I'm a witch, look," a green orb of energy appeared in her hand. It disappeared as Oliver placed his hand over it. She looked up at him and took his other hand.
"This is going to sound cheesy so I'm sorry but just listen. Even though we've only known each other for about a week I feel connected to you," Oliver said as he leaned in closer.
"I thought I was the only one who noticed it," Thalia whispered, their faces inches apart now. Oliver closed it as his lips crashed onto hers. Thalia had never been kissed before, it was wonderful. Their lips moved together and it seemed like the world had stopped just for them.
Oliver was the one to pull away, "I like you Thalia. Go to the dance with me?"
Thalia answered by kissing him lightly on the lips, "Of course." She teleported them to her fake address an apartment complex and walked into the lobby. "Goodnight, and by the way, I like you too."
Oliver smiled and waved a goodbye before he turned and walked away. After she watched him walk away, she teleported into her room in the tower. She landed on the bed with a smile on her face.
'A boy likes me. Some one I like likes me back!' She rolled over on her side and saw the joker card on her nightstand and felt a twinge of guilt. She really should go check up on Jude soon. 'Why do I feel bad? I barely know the guy, most of the conversations we've had end with me yelling at him. I shouldn't feel bad at all.'
She picked up the joker card and stared at it.'I'll stop by his place tomorrow before I go shopping for a dress.' The last thought returned her to thinking about Oliver and soon she was fast asleep. The "S" on her hand brighter than ever.
"So you've gained her trust?" a voice said from the shadows.
"You tell me, I got her to kiss me didn't I?," Oliver said, his voice lost the kind tone and had turned venomous.
"Yes it would seem you have. You know the plan, don't mess up this time, we don't want to lose anymore to the rebels."
"That was a one time thing and it won't happen again Master," Oliver said as he bowed in respect.
"It better not, or you know the consequences this time they will be much worse," the voice said menacingly.
"I won't fail I promise, she'll be ours. The prophecy will be fulfilled," Oliver said.
"Good, so long Beckett," the voice said as it vanished.
"She will be ours," Oliver whispered.
Meanwhile Jude was sitting on the edge of his bed staring at the floor. His room was dimly lit and he barely heard Xander come in. The older brother sat down next to his sibling but was quiet for a moment.
"I know you want to help her but we can't. We'd be risking our exposure again," Xander said trying to sound comforting.
"And if she dies then what? We just forget about it? Even though it's our fault?" Jude snapped.
"She won't die, the worst they do to you is torture you senseless till you forget who you are and what your powers can do," Xander said dismissively.
"That's not good either I hope you know," Jude said silently. Xander got up and walked out and into the kitchen, Jude followed this discussion was not over.
"I don't get why you're so upset about this, we've dealt with these guys before and got away unscratched. What's got you so freaked out?" Xander asked as he poured himself a glass of vodka.
'How can he be so ready to let an innocent person die? They're setting that monster to get her!'
He took a sip as Jude replied to the question, "Oliver Beckett is the one they sent after her."
Xander spit out the liquid and dropped his glass, shards flying all over the floor. "You're positive?" His expression was fearful now.
Jude nodded gravely, "I wish I was lying." Xander looked at the broken glass, a snap of his fingers and it was as if there was never any mess.
Xander folded his arms across his chest, "Well then, that definitely changes things. We're going to have to tell her."
"Hide her too. We need to keep her safe," Jude said determined.
Xander nodded in agreement, "We'll have to take her far away." He started to walk to his room. Jude again followed him.
"One question: Oliver has already revealed what he is, how do we convince her to come with us?" Jude asked.
"We explain to her calmly what she is, and if she doesn't believe us we'll take her against her will," Jude nodded. And with that Xander left the room leaving Jude on his own to think. The room was bathed in the silver light of the moon. He stared at the orb thoughtfully.
'I really hope the prophecy is wrong.'
Well okay, I revamped this I don't know how many times and I still don't know if I liked it. I'm a bit distracted at the moment because I took a break from reading the master piece that is Breaking Dawn!! Just because I love you all too much! Also I had to get this chapter out of my system so I can write the next chapter where everything is explained.
Well review please! Thank you to all the people who have reviewed already but I would like to see some new readers review. I know you guys are reading so pretty please!? I want to know what you think.
