Author's note and disclaimer: Don't own Hanna Montana or it's characters. Don't sue. Well I am pumped about not only the next Jake Ryan episode coming up but there are two more that have been confirmed as well. Now, this chapter didn't quite come out exactly the way I wanted it to, but I don't really have the time to craft it exactly the way I want to. I still think it at least approximates most of the spirit of what I intended. What do you think? I know it's a little bit dark, but I'll try to write my way out of the darkness eventually.
Chapter 9: Too Close for your own Good
Another day at school Miley's POV:
Jake is laughing. Jake is smiling. Why does that make me so angry. As I watch the mysterious girl holding his hand laughing along with him. It shouldn't bother me. As a matter of fact it doesn't bother me. This isn't about him. Well I mean it is kind of about him, but that's because she's in danger from him. Jake is some sort of vampire or other sort of weird being or monster and it's my duty to warn her somehow. Maybe I can do it without revealing his secret. I'll just warn her that Jake's dangerous. And if she still insists on being with him. It's on her. It wouldn't be my fault anymore. At least I did my part. And, and why did he choose her?
Aproximately at the same time:
(Conversations are in mental projection form)
"So how long have you been on Earth, Isabel?"
"Oh about a month before you arrived."
"And how do you know Will and Grace again?"
She thought about it for a while and decided she better just tell him the truth or an approximation of it. He wasn't that good at reading multiple thought lines or he'd already know anyway. "Well to be honest I'm there grand daughter and I guess I don't want you to get mad, but I felt you should know that they called me over to check up on you." T"hey were really worried about how you almost screwed everything up with the incident the other day." She braced herself. She didn't know how he was going to take this.
Jake just blushed lowering his head with shame. He stayed quiet for a while. "Umm, I'm kind of scared to ask this but how many people know about this?" "It's just you, Will and Grace........he left Miley's name out......and no one else right?" He pleaded hoping for the best.
"Well I don't know how to say, this but let's see Ross and Rachel, and Fox and Dana and Chuck and Sarah and..."
"Alright I get it." "Laugh it up." "I'm just a big joke than." "What did I do that was so wrong again?" "I tried to help somebody." "What is so wrong with that?" "And maybe she saw something she shouldn't have and it got a little bit complicated." "But it's not like there is a textbook for that, right?"
"If you say so." "To be honest with you Jake, it's so rare that our secrets have come to light that, all they have are stupid pictures that look fake of flying saucers on the History channel." "That's all the proof they have." "We don't need to be showing them anymore than that." "And by the way we have to go to class now, so talk to you later." "Try not to tell the rest of the school about us Atlntns before I talk to you again OK."
"Yeah, it just feels so good knowing you have all the confidence in the world in me." Jake smiles trying to brush away the shame beneath the surface.
"Remember it's our world too." She returns his smile with one of her own. I think this assignment could work out after all. As she admires Jake's beautiful smile.
Jake laughs shaking his head as he leaves for class. Trying to shake away his previous thoughts. Damage control sucks. I just have to remember the golden rule. Don't think, talk, smell, or even look at Miley. I better especially not notice how she was watching us the entire time. I didn't notice it at all. Thank goodness for that. God, he felt heat from the exact direction she was staring at them. Not, that he noticed. How, does she do that to me?
Attempt 1:
Now's my chance. Miley rushes trying to catch up to the pale blond who had been talking to Jake.
Isabel felt the presence of this Miley following her and this Miley had been watching them too. She was worried. What if we have to deal with her. We can't allow her to start sniffing around our secrets. And if we do deal with her. How, will Jake take it?
I cut off the blond and sort of slam with my back against the locker. For lack of anything better to say....Hi! I give her a big nervous smile.
Isabel, shook her head. For lack of a better response all she could say back was, "Hi?" She started to walk by this annoying girl. What does Jake see in her anyway?
Miley saw the girl approaching class. Too, late, she's gone. Ring
Speaking of late, I have to go to class too.
Attempt 2:
Miley had tried her best to keep tabs on her. She needed to get her alone. She just needed a moment when Jake was away from her. Just one. It took her all week but finally it was Friday and I guess every girl needs to use the little girl's room eventually. Now, was her chance.
Isabel of course after answering the call of nature headed towards the mirror to wash her hands, and lo and behold there she was again. This Miley. This girl who had been watching and practically stalking Jake the entire week. Won't this girl leave him alone already. I'm really tempted to do something to maybe scare her, but I don't want her to see any more than she's already seen. But I place my fake smile firmly in place as I start to wash my hands pretending she isn't even there.
"So, umm could I ask you something?" Miley broke the silence.
"Ahh, like what?"
"Err, I know this is out of the blue, and maybe you might think I'm weird, and a little bit crazy, but I need to tell you something."
"Ahh, why?" "Do, I know you?" While Isabel thought to squelch the laugh threatening to rear it's ugly head about her question about being crazy.
"Oh, right, well my name is Miley and ahhh, I didn't catch your name."
"That's because I didn't give it." "Is that all?"
"What is your name?"
Isabel was extremely annoyed, but she would go through the human motions. "My name is Isabel." "And friends call me Izzie."
"So, Izzie, I..."
"I said friends call me Izzie."
"Oh, right." Miley thought to herself that was a little bit harsh. "Well, it's just I don't know how your going to take this, but it's about that guy I think your seeing now."
"Oh, what about him?" Isabel was slightly curious where she was going with this herself now.
"Well, you see it's just I'm not sure I know the right way to tell you this." "But I think you need to be careful with him."
"Oh, and why is that?" Isabel was really curious. This girl was approaching a danger area. The rules of our planet is generally not to hurt or kill these humans if possible, but...let me keep listening.
"It's look." "I made a certain promise to Jake's sponsors not to say anything but I just need you to know he might be dangerous." "That's all. Just be careful." "I mean, there are plenty of other boys out there." "I mean your beautiful." Miley almost gagged as she said this. As she kept trying to rationalize this as just protecting the girl and not keeping Jake single and still available.
Isabel scowled. And she started trying to read the girls facial ticks. Well, she does blab a little bit too much to my liking, but she didn't out right reveal the secret to me. But still she kind of is putting Jake above the radar a little bit too much, but there's something else. She isn't doing this because she gives a damn about my safety. It's almost like......
"I know I've seen a couple of football players who've had there eye on you." "They are so good looking." "Better looking than Jake even and if you want, I could introduce you?"
Isabel watched her and it was almost like this Miley was jealous or something. Does, this stupid girl think she could actually date Jake. First of all that is absolutely forbidden. Second, of all I'm not sure how long we can allow her to keep snooping around us before we mindwipe her or worse. And third of all I've been alone for a while. I finally have someone my own age, someone who needs me, someone who I might start liking for myself and from my own race and I'll be damned if I give him up to this stupid human. I'm not going to let this girl anywhere near Jake no matter what.
"Well, umm Miley right?" Isabel flashed a smile while her anger was just seething through every pore in her body.
"Right, that's me!" Miley said with a nervous smile as she pointed to herself oblivious to the storm that was brewing.
"Well, why don't you run along and worry about finding your own boyfriend?" "I already have one." "You don't need to be worrying about Jake anymore he is in good hands." "And he is not dangerous at all." "He is in good hands with me." "I'm going to take good care of him." "And you had better keep this stuff about Jake being dangerous to yourself if you know what's good for you!" She sneered angrily at Miley.
"No, but you don't understand!" "I, I can't really explain it to you." "I don't really understand it myself." "I'm not trying to steal him from you." "Honest." "I'm just trying to be nice."
Isabel pushed past Miley to the side of the wall with a quick and sudden burst of speed. Her forearm with incredible strength was just under her throat pressing her hard against the wall. "Let me explain something to you, you twit!" Isabel was struggling with all of her being not to kill her but she wasn't sure she was going to be able to stop herself.
Miley was about to speak but her mouth was muffled by one of Isabel's steel like hands while the other held her two arms at bay like she was a small little girl.
"You listen to me and you listen good." The bathroom door clicked locked in the background. Isabel's green eyes started to darken to a very sinister dark red hue. Isabel's hair started fluttering around in the air. The wind started churning around like they were in the midst of an indoor tornado. Toilet paper was flying everywhere.
"Listen to me, Miley," she spat. "Jake is in good hands." "The only reason I am not going to kill you right here and right now is because you didn't reveal Jake's real secret to me." "I know more about Jake than the mere pittance you think you know about him." "We are not of your kind." "Stay away from Jake." "And stay away from me." "Don't make me ever have to tell you again or it might be the last time anyone ever tells you anything ever again." "Do, you understand?" "Nod, your head once if you do!"
Miley was frightened out of her mind. The glowing dark red eyes the tropical hurricane it was all starting to make sense. Miley was truly frightened that she might not make it out of here alive. God, what did I stick my nose into. She's just like him. The pale skin and green and now red eyes. I was so stupid. Why did I have to poke my nose into this again. I swear if I make it out of this alive never again. Oh, daddy I love you so much. As she was no longer held by Isabel who was now levitating Miley without touching her.
Isabel was starting to glow. Miley saw the look of hate and contempt on Isabel's eyes. She knew if she didn't do everything this weird girl said she was dead. "Nod, your head once if you do," she repeated frustratedly almost at the trigger point of killing Miley.
Miley willed her head to nod once feebly. She wanted to close her eyes and look away as she lay flat against the wall plastered totally helpless. She couldn't even move her finger from how strong the unseen force was holding her at bay.
"I could just kill you now." "It would be so, so easy," she sneered wickedly. "All I have to do is picture it in my mind and I could snap your little neck like a chicken wing!" Her pointer finger glowed almost like a cannon ready to shoot right between Miley's widened fearful blue eyes. Isabel could almost see the little bullet of power about to deliver the death blow.............
"But, unfortunately I am going to have to let you go." "You will tell no one about this, or about Jake." "You will stop watching us." "Do, not investigate us." "If you tell anybody else about us I will kill you and I might kill anyone close to you just to make sure you didn't spread the secret." "Do, you understand, nod your head yes again."
Miley nodded her head yes feeling the power loosening around her just to allow her that one movement. She was scared out of her mind, but adrenaline was keeping her up. At least she knew she wasn't crazy anymore. We are not alone. Miley closed her eyes and nodded her head yes again. And than she said it, "yes." "I'll do it fine." "Just leave my family out of it." "Please," she pleaded and begged. She waited wondering if she was about to see her life flash before her eyes. If she was about to die. She waited. And she waited and than finally....
She opened her eyes and Isabel was gone. Miley sank to her knees sobbing from the fear of coming so close to death and still she was alive.
--To Be Continued--
Author's Preview: Well I definitely haven't even started to write the next chapter, even though I know what I want to start writing about next. At least some of it anyway. Well it was dark, and I tried to scare you a little bit. Actually I wanted to even make it more intense than that, but I didn't really have the time. But I'll keep working on it when I do have some time and see if I can get my chapters more the way I want them to be. Until next time. Bye.
