Kiss me if you Dare, Anna S. [good books to read for 12 year olds .TXT] 📗

my hand slightly touched his cheekbones as my eyes pierced into his.

“I have a secrete too.” I tell him as I pulled my hand forward focusing on the glass cup sitting on my desk behind him. The cup lifted in the air moving towards us. I looked back at Seth as his looks over at the flowing cup in front of us.

            “How..?” He asks looking back at me.

            “I don’t exactly know what I am. But I know most the things I can do.” I tell him as the cup drops on my hand.

            “You’re no different then me.” He smiles.

            “That is why I understand you. I need more training but I can’t really do it by myself.”

            He chuckles. “I’ll help you. I’ve been stuck like this for almost a year already.”

            I smiled. “Yea. That would be nice.”

“When I was little my mother used to take me to carnivals. My favorite ride was the Ferris wheel. It was a good chance to spend time with her.” He explains, as we sat down on the grass after some practice. It was sunset, the sky filled with different colors.

            “What happened to her?” I asked. “If you don’t mind me asking.” 

            “Uh. When I was thirteen. I didn’t respect her the way I should of. I wouldn’t listen to her. I would just be a stubborn, troubled teenager. I, uh, I remember when I turned fourteen, she gave me my first real cell phone.” He laughs, but there was something sad about his laugh. “I never accepted the fact that she actually wanted what was best for me. I was extremely happy with my new phone, but I didn’t show her that. I never showed her how I really felt. After she left us, I was constantly mad at her. I couldn’t accept the fact that she didn’t love my dad anymore. I thought she didn’t love me. But now I know that she did.”

            “Then why didn’t you give her a chance?” I asked quietly.

            “I don’t know.” He pauses. “One day she planed a trip for me and her, down to Tennessee, to visit some family members.  I didn’t want to go, but my dad forced me to go. I could just see in his face how hurt he was when she left us. Every time she would come by to try to be with me, he would want her to be in my life so that she could be in his too. We drove down to Tennessee, the vacation was boring but she tried. Eventually I gave in and I actually liked her when we were together down there. She was the mother I always knew before she left.

            “A few days later we left. On our way home, when we reached the state there was a terrible hurricane. Rain, hale, and a lot of wind. We stopped by a red light, when a tree hit us. I can’t remember anything else other then that. I woke up at a hospital and I didn’t know any news of her. Nothing. When I left, I found out that she passed away, because the tree has hit where she was seating. I was ‘a lucky fellow’ the doctor told me. I only had some scratches and some bruises. But I was fine. I know now the only reason I survived was because of my wolf gene.” He finishes.

            “I’m so sorry, Seth.” I say touching his shoulders softly.

            “Don’t worry about it.” He explains.

            “Was that the reason you moved here last year?”

            “Yea. My dad has the cabinet passed down to him from his father. He never moved there because of my mother. But when she was gone, he decided to move back, to remember some of his childhood memories.”

            “Oh.” I say quietly. “Then how’d you become a werewolf?”

            “Oh, that’s easy.” He laughs. “My dad’s side is from a tribe, and they are descended from wolves.  My dad was supposed to be a werewolf, but he never transformed into one. He thought that his family’s tradition was over and extinct before I turned into one. He’s the one that helped me through most of it.”

            “Really?” I asked surprised.

            “Yea. I know my dad may seem like a drug addict. He has his times where he gets sick of everything, and then goes drunk to forget it.”

            “Do you have a close relationship with him, other then your werewolf thing?”

            “Uh. No. Me and my dad are not that close. He can care less on what I do.”

            “Oh why not?”

            “Uh. I don’t know. Ever since I came back, he didn’t seem the same to me.” He looked at me. 

            “Yea.”

            A short silence.

            “Alright. Let’s do the warm up again.” He gets up looking at me.

            “Ugh. But I’m tired.” I whined picking myself up.

            “C’mon it’s not that hard.”

            My hands pointed towards the open space of the meadow. I started with small rocks and then moved myself up to bigger rocks. Seth was really helping me with this and I liked it. I seemed much closer to him then I did before, now that he knows my only secrete. He’s the only person that knows it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

{Chapter 10}

 

            I drove to school the next day. It didn’t take long before Seth parked next to me. He took off his helmet and smiled back at me as he removed himself off the motorcycle. I pulled the strings of my bag up against the side of my shoulders, supporting all of its weight.

            “Hey.” He smiled.

            “Hey.” I smiled back.

            His eyes seemed different to me, more like he was happy to see me rather then a flush of angry look he has been giving me the past weeks. The first bell rang announcing five minutes before my first class started ranged as we entered the school. Lucy’s party was this weekend and she was humbled of excitement because of it. At the end of the hall she made a look at me and Seth.

            A small but flattering smile shot across her face. She quickly finished a conversation and walked towards me and Seth.

            “Hey guys.” She waved. Her eyes fixed on Seth.

            “Hey.” We both spoke.

            “Do you mind if I talked to Elsa for a minute? I’ll walk her to English.” A spark flashed in her eyes.

            “No, no problem.” Seth said.

            “Thanks.” She pulls me.

            “See you later?” I looked at him as she pulled me away.

            “Yea.” He smiled.

            “What the hell?” Lucy emphasized.

            “What?”

            “You guys practically hated each other. Now you two are together now?” She asks confusedly crossing her arms against her chest.

            “Yea. I guess.” I say watching Seth as he pulled some books from his locker. “Look.” I turned to her. “Seth is a really great guy. I like him, were just trying to get to know each other better.”

            “And if it doesn’t work out?”

            “Then it doesn’t work out.” I repeated.

            She looked at Seth talking to his English teacher at the end of the hall then turned to face me again. “I don’t know, Else. This doesn’t feel right.” She starts. “And I know when things may not work out. But even though if I’m right, I’ll be here for you.” She smiles.

            I hugged her and then we walked to English. Lucy kept talking about her party Saturday and how awesome it should be. When we reached my class my English teacher was standing by the door. Her smile was bright so I could tell she was happy and this meant no homework.

 

           

            By the time it was third block I didn’t feel so well. I headed to history, my hands felt numb and I had a huge headache. I haven’t had any flash back to the past or flash forward to the future since I met Seth. It was kind of weird but I liked it, not the piercing pain in my head whenever I had a vision. This headache was a sign that one of them was coming.

            In history we were watching a document on world war two. The room was nice and dark only the light from the TV was shining most of it. A sharp and edged pain shot inside my scull. My brain flashed an imagine.

 

            Dr. Russell was standing on the laboratory room where he’d sent me after my accident. He folded his hands together, he seemed to looking at someone highly disappointed.

            “What have I told you!?” He yelled across the room. “What?”

            “To be careful.” A voice responded angry like.

            “But you didn’t.” Dr. Russell walks forward. “I want her here and then we will release your treasure.”

            “And If I don’t?” the voice asked.

            “Then I’m sure you’ll miss her very much when she’s really gone.”

            “You better not touch her!” The voice yelled.

            I gasped looking around, but it seemed that no one heard me. They seemed entertained by the movie. I felt sharp pain on my hands like pen needles. I closed them and then opened them a few times as the pain persists. I looked down at my hands one more time as a bright light escaped them piercing through the room like a flash light. I closed them quickly while Mr. Banks paused the movie and then looked over at me.

            “Elsa, put the flash light away.”  He warned.

            I closed my hands harder, picked up my bag from the floor and quickly walked out of the room. Frustrated with myself, I ran out of the school and into the nearby woods. I dropped my bag on the floor as the ground shook beneath me. Rocks that surrounded me began to shift in midair moving in a circular motion faster and faster each time. Trees began to shake with every move. Feeling the air escape me as the rocks surrounds me, I dropped to the ground when suddenly the rocks stopped spinning and dropped to the ground. I gasped for air noticing everything around me was out of control. I was out of control! I pulled my hands over my ears and shut my eyes close trying to control myself from everything that was happening. Breathe I tell myself as I take a deep breath in and then out trying to control myself from this darkness.

            “Elsa!” Hands shook my shoulders roughly. I gasped as I opened my eyes seeing Seth looking down at me.

            “Elsa, what happened?” He asked.

            “I-I-.” I couldn’t finish, my heart was racing so hard I could feel it trying to jump out of my chest.

            “It’s okay.” He hugged me.

            Within his embrace I felt myself cry. I was shivering between his arms.

            “It’s alright. It’s all over now.” He said as I felt his hot breath up my head.

            I didn’t understand what was happening to me. I couldn’t figure out why it happened and I wanted to know why. I needed answers.

 

 

 

 

 

{Chapter 11}

 

 

 

 

            A full moon upon the sky was covered by misty clouds. Fogs hugged the floor of the woods. The misty night seemed to become a scene of a scary movie.

            A man in a black tailcoat walked towards the doors of the only castle in view. He opened the long-stretched doors before him. He has long brown hair and narrow blue eyes with a short shaved beard. He looked fairly young and wore baggy pants tucked into tall boots, sleeves billowed and a red vest to match his wide-brimmed hat. He walked towards a short looking woman with a long green Victorian dress. She looked up from her tall blond hair.

            “Yes mi’lord.” She smiled.

            “I wish to speak to Lord Victor.” He spoke low in a British accent. 

            “Lord Victor is unavailable at this time. Maybe you can return early morrow?” She spoke walking towards the man. His expression was impatient.

            “I do not have time for this. Let me speak to Lord
