Chapter Sixteen: I'm On My Way Out

"Sam…" Dan said knocking on the door of my locked rom. I pulled a suitcase out from under my bed and began to shove random articles of clothing in it. I had no time to specify. I was n such a rush that in between me packing and running into the bathroom to get my toothbrush, Freddie had made his way into my room from the window and was now packing my stuff as well to speed up the process.

"What am I supposed to do? I'm heartless but not enough to hurt my father." I muttered to him. Freddie shrugged as he zipped my suitcase shut and dragged it towards the window. I looked after him with confusion and sadness etched across my face.

"You're gonna have to Sam. I'll be in the Zonda." He said quickly before jumping out the window. This was too much for a sixteen year old to handle. I think teenage pregnancy is a walk in the park compared to all of this. I sighed and grabbed my backpack which had my laptop and other valuable electronics packed away in it and went to open the door.

"Sam…did he hurt you?" My father asked as soon as I opened the door. I shook my head frantically as I pushed past him for the second time to head towards the stairs. I slung my bag over my shoulder and moved quickly but as expected, he followed. "Did he break up with you?"

"No, I broke up with him." I retorted quickly as I ran into the kitchen. I went straight to the fridge and snatched the last pack of ham that was in there. I smiled inwardly before shoving the pack of ham in my bag.

"I thought you liked him." He tried again. He was so stubborn…just like me. Why couldn't he just let it and me go? This would be a lot easier and much more painless. Freddie was probably getting annoyed waiting for me in the car. I was wasting time.

"I did but things just didn't work out." I snapped. I locked eyes with him and gave him the harshest glared I could. I think I saw Dan wince but maybe that was me just being over dramatic about the whole situation that I was in. "Mom was right. It isn't worth it." I sneered.

Now I know I wasn't being dramatic when I saw him wince this time. Those are the words that my mother used to escape him because she didn't believe he was worth it, but I believe it was worth hurting him this one time if he gets to live. Without a word I ran out the front door straight to the car where I slipped into the passenger seat.

"Sam…" Freddie began carefully. I glared ahead as one tear escaped my eye and slid down my cheek. I quickly swiped it away and grit my teeth. I was never a girl to cry and I sure as hell wasn't about to start now. I know that it would all be good in the end so I had no point in feeling regret. "It's going to be okay…he'll forgive you." Freddie tried to sooth but for some reason it only made me more frustrated.

"I know! I'm fine." I snapped. He nodded and then the car went speeding off. Now we were on our way out of state. As we drove Freddie explained to me that he would take from New Jersey to Philadelphia where my mother currently was with her sister. I would hang out with my mother until everything was safe again.

There was a small thud on the back of the car and I jumped while suppressing a yelp. I glanced over my shoulder to see someone perched on the rear of the car. My eyes widened and I began to panic as I turned towards Freddie.

"It's just Jake…Carly is following us close behind. The tracker is following us." Freddie explained. I glanced back and saw Jake's silhouette wave. I nodded at him and stuck my head out the window to see Carly driving a Porsche Carrera.

Freddie sped straight back to what I now called Shay manor and came to a screeching stop near the large garage. Just as we approached the front door it swung open for us to see Spencer and that young looking vampire that got on my nerves. Freddie swiftly pulled me behind him and Jake and Carly remained behind me.

"Calm down Freddie, he just came to warn us about Jonah." Spencer explained quickly as Freddie's eyes remained narrowed and locked on Nevel. I gave the midget the same look only because his presence annoyed me beyond comparison.

"This isn't my fight and I have grown tired of his constant games," Nevel began shaking his head and shoving his pale hands into his khaki pants. Freddie's brow furrowed and I kept a blank expression. "His senses and skills are unparallel and extremely lethal. It is best to be careful because I have never seen anything like him in my three hundred years…and the girl, Alexis, don't underestimate her." With that said the kid vampire weaved his way past Freddie and I and squeezed through Jake and Carly before jumping up into a tree only to vanish.

Spencer let out an exasperated sigh and gestured for us to follow him. We all went to the garage where I gaped. Lined up was a car for probably each person. There was also a motorcycle to the side. It must have been custom made considering I could not recognize it and it had Shane scribbled across it. Valerie was sitting on the hood of a red Saleen S7 and Chloe was at her side and Shane was leaning against the family Benz.

"I fought his kind before…" Shane began as he stepped towards Freddie who was tightly gripping my hand. "It's going to be difficult to kill him; tearing up the pieces will be hard, but as long as every piece is burned it'll be alright."

"For the record I do not approve of killing another creature, but since it is one this evil…" Spencer trailed off. Chloe let out a sad sigh and wrapped her arms around one of his. He pat her head gently with the other hand and she shook her head. I felt so guilty for what I was putting the through.

"What if he kills one of us first?" Valerie inserted. She almost sounded concerned, but I knew that none of that concern was for me. This was exactly what she was trying to prevent so basically I just proved her right and it felt horrible. If one of them were to die on my behalf I would never forgive myself.

"I'm going to run Sam south to keep the tracker away from you." Freddie retorted quickly. She avoided eye contact with him and I glanced at Freddie to see the same concern on his face that was on everybody else's.

"No Freddie, he knows you wouldn't leave Sam so he'll follow you." Spencer inserted smartly. Freddie grit his teeth. I could tell the last thing that he wanted to do is keep Jonah on my trail. That would probably be enjoyable on his part considering he considers his hunt as a game.

"Shane and I will take Sam south. You lead tha tracker to the west." Carly suggested coming up next to me. She offered me a weak smile and I nodded thankfully at her. Freddie on the other hand look horrified about the thought of being separated, especially in a situation like this.

"Okay…Valerie, Chloe, could you please put on some of Sam's clothes?" Freddie asked as he tossed Chloe my army jacket and Valerie one of my graphic sweatshirts. Chloe nodded and slipped on the jacket. Valerie looked down at the sweatshirt and made a face of disgust.

"Why should I? What is she to me?" She scoffed turning her nose upwards. Freddie shook his head, I don't know if it was in disappointment of annoyance. I glowered at her and Spencer shot her a look.

"Valerie, Sam is with Freddie meaning she is part of this family now. I don't think you want to put family in danger." Spencer scorned. Valerie glanced at him then down at the sweatshirt that had a dancing ham on the front. She looked up at me and we locked eyes for a moment. My expression was blank and so was hers and she turned away, but before she did her eyes softened at me for a moment. She slipped on the sweatshirt without a word.

Carly opened the back door to the family Benz and gestured for me to slip in. I slipped n with my legs still hanging out and I glanced at Freddie. He leaned down and brushed the blonde hair out of my face and let his cold hand rest on my cheek. I leaned into his touch and placed my hand over his.

"If anything happens to you I will bring you back to life and kill you myself." I threatened. It could have come out scarier if I wasn't so upset about Freddie having to be separated from me and everybody in the risk of getting killed.

"Don't worry; there are seven of us and two of them. As soon as this is over…I'm coming for you, okay?" He said gently as his thumb caressed my cheek. I smiled lightly and nodded. He placed a small kiss on my forehead and I shivered.

"Yea…you better." I threatened again with a glare. He laughed lightly and nodded at me.

"Sam…I love you…and you are my life now so there is no way I will let anything happen to you. I love you." He said before placing a chaste kiss on my lips. I was taken aback from his little speech for a moment. I didn't know what to do for a moment and for once…I was genuinely scared. I was scared to respond.

"Freddie…" I began softly as I avoided his eyes. "I l-l…you say this like its goodbye." I quickly recovered and gave him a swift punch on the arm. He lowered his head for a moment and nodded while chuckling. "I'll see you in a little bit…" I muttered. He glanced up at me before moving away and closing the door to the car.

"Hey mom it's just me again…I-uh…I left Maine and I can't go into detail right now, but please call back when you get the chance." I sighed before snapping my phone shut. I don't know how long I've been sitting in this car but it has been long enough to agitate me.

Had called my mother at least seven times and each time she failed to pick up her phone, probably because she lost it once again. I didn't know what to do with myself anymore. I was bored tired, upset and sleep deprived. What could I do except engorge on the ham I had packed?

I glanced up towards the front seat to see Shane focused on the road and Carly focused on him. On the arm rest their hands were tightly interlocked and I couldn't help but smile at how sweet it was. I was happy for them and that small moment just made me miss Freddie and his dorky self even more.

"Valerie, rub the scent on that tree." Freddie ordered as he ran through the forest with Chloe ahead of him and Valerie behind him. Spencer and Jake were still back in Lewiston on the search for Alexis who fell off their radar a while back.

Valerie stopped at the tree her brother had pointed to and rubbed her sweatshirt clad body along the tree. She moved away and gave the tree a sniff to see if it was enough; her brunette hair brushing against the tree in the wind as she did so.

"That's enough!" Freddie said as he paused for a moment. Chloe also stopped and glanced over her shoulder at the pair. Valerie gave the tree one last rub before following Freddie and Chloe who continued on.
