Chapter 6 - Halcyone - the spider's secret

I'm sitting in my normal spot in the library facing the window as always as I sketch some weapons for me to make tonight after I finish my new outfit. I got to make the gloves and the cape still. My pencil stops as I remember yesterday's night. Walking up the stairs only to see Peter looking in my room.

I have to say I'm glad I had cleaned it the day before that or he might had seen some clothes I don't want him to see. I hear the bell and stand.

Where is Peter?

He normal is stuck to me like glue after his 6th hour but that was the activity bell meaning he's 4 hours late. I shrug it off and walk home. I've been hanging out with Peter for so long it feels awkward walking alone down the school halls.

I walk through the front door and I kick off my shoes. I see Peter's. They're covered in dried mud. I walk up the stairs where I can see his footprints still pressed into the carpet. I turn to the hallway and walk past Vanessa's room. I walked up to my door and turn my head to the right at the guest door.

I hear the shower running in the bathroom across the hall from my room. I walk into my room and shut the door behind me. It's 6:30pm right now. My mom will be gone for another hour and a half and my dad won't be home till 9pm. I have no idea if my sister is home or not.

I sigh and pull my vest over my head and start unbuttoning the button up before tossing it to the ground with the vest. I grab my Harley Davidson 2007 tee shirt and put it on with ease.

I hear the shower stop and then that bathroom door open and then the guest door opening as well. I open my door and step out of the comfort of my room into the hallway. Peter was laying face down on the bed on top of the blankets dripping wet and in only a towel.

I raise my eyebrows noticing a new scratch across his face and a huge bruise around his neck. I carefully step in and he looks at me.

"Yeah?" He sounds tired.

"Um, what happened?"

He slowly gets up and I look away during his challenge of standing so I don't get flashed. I look back when I sense he's standing. He standing only a foot or so in front of me.

"Uh... " I lost my words . it takes me a second to recover them. "What happened? I always see you in wounds... Are you began bullied or are you in a fight club or are you-"

Peter shoved his lips against mine's making my eyes shoot open and me stumble backwards, breaking the kiss, and lean against the door frame as Peter walked into the bathroom.

He back walked out of the bathroom with his dirty clothes and tossed them on the floor before kissing her on the cheek. He pulled on boxers and some basketball shorts as I look away again and when I look back, I notice a red and blue shirt under dirty jeans. I notice what it was and when he looks at me, I'm looking at my pager. Oh. My. Gosh.

"I have to go," I say, putting my pager into my pocket and walking into my room to grab my bag before running downstairs and into the dining room. I walk up to the door in the corner of it and pull a silver key out of my pocket. I slid it into the key lock and yank open the door. I step in and shut the door behind me and relock it.

I reach out to grip my ladder before finally grabbing it and climbing up it. I finally go to the top of what I call me tower. I dress into my wonder wolf outfit and push open the window and jump out. I have my old cape and gloves for now but oh well. I run across the roof and jump and land on the ground.

I finally spot bird boy and climb up the wall to the building he will jump on soon. I stand in the shadow unseen thanks to my new outfit as he lands on the rooftop and trip him by sticking out my foot as he passes and he tumbles to the ground. He goes to kick me but I grab his foot and use it to push him to the ground. I don't care if it was bitchy or whatever. I'm confused, angry and so not in a careful mood tonight.

"What was that last night?"
