“Um… in minute,
those people are staring at us now.” I whispered. She gave
me the look, which means I better spill soon or she’ll make
a huge scene. She can be pretty creative with them so I do
my best to avoid them. This so wasn’t one of my brightest
ideas. “Okay, but like I said you won’t believe me.” She
gave me the look again I better get on with it. “Alright
let me start from the very beginning. Way way back, my
ancestors found out they were special, well the females did
anyways. And here comes the part where you won’t believe
me. The reason they were so special is because they could
be turned and have children.” “Wait, wait!! What do you
mean be turned?” she asked confused. Oh jeez I need to
explain better duh she’s not getting it. “Well…into
were’s.” Oh god I’m dumb, just spit it out and get it over
with! “Like werewolves, but there isn’t just wolves there’s
so much more. Anyway, my female ancestors never made it
past eighteen before they were turned.” “Okay, so say I
believe you. If none of your female ancestors didn’t stay
human, then how are you here? And I gotta feeling your one
of those “special” females right?” she said. “Yeah, I
am.” I frown. “The gene is carried by the males in the
family, so my dad passed it to me. We’re not really sure on
what else this gene has provided. You’re the only one I’ve
ever told this to. Do you believe me?” I ask. “Well…..lets
say that I do. Can you tell which one are “were’s” and
which ones are humans?” “Yeah, It’s really easy actually.
The were’s are more…graceful I guess you could say. I’ll
point some out to you when we leave alright?” “Sweet, umm…
Hey you’d let me know if I was dating one right?” She asked
nervously. “Of course I would!!” I replied. Haha of course
that’s what she’d be worried about.
As we leave I point some out to her. “OMG!!! They are
Hott! I would so turn for one of them.” she says
breathlessly. “Really?” I ask. “Yeah! I don’t see why you
wouldn’t.” She replies back immediately. I feel hurt, like
someone had stabbed me in the chest. “Because I would never
get to see any of my friends or family again.” I said
almost crying. “Oh….well if you get turned then I will
too. So you won’t lose everyone.” She says after a minute
of thinking. I just don’t understand why anyone would give
their friends and family up willingly. “No. You won’t. I
won’t let you. It’s giving up too much, you won’t be able
to have kids and and I don’t know what else but it’s just
too much!” I screamed at her. “Sorry. I didn’t mean to
scream at you.” I say after a minute. “It’s ok, I just
don’t want you to be all alone. I understand that if it
happens to you that you don’t want it to happen to anyone
else. But--” I cut her off there “No ands, if’s or but’s.
I said no, and I mean it.” she frowns at me “Okay, I got
it.” she says “Good. Now let’s find my car and go home.”
The parking lot was really full and I couldn’t remember
where I parked the car. We had been shopping for hours and
it was starting to get dark outside. I hate it! I’m never
out when it starts getting dark. “We have to hurry and find
the car.” I say in a panicked tone to Kimmi. “Why?”
Great! There are some in the parking lot. Crap! Crap!
Crap! They are looking at us, damn now they are walking
toward us. “That’s why” I state. “Are they….ya know?” she
whispers. “Yep. Do you see the car?” I say. They were
closing the distance fast. “No. Wait! Yeah it’s over
there” she says pointing behind the guys at my car. Double
damn they were waiting for me. “Hello sweetheart.”
Chapter 3
The guy straight ahead of me says. He’s not too bad
looking; shaggy dark brown hair, a slim tall body, seducing
voice, breathtaking yellow-green eyes. Wait!? Yellow-
green? Yes under all that shaggy hair is yellow-green eyes,
thank to the light I can see them. “Sorry guys. We can’t
stay and chat we have to go home.” I say. My voice was
utterly calm, which is strange. I grab Kimmis hand and go
to leave when he speaks again. “How about you go with us,
and she leaves.” I froze. Then I look at him than say “How
about no.” I pulled Kimmi past him and shoved her toward
the passenger side. I fumbled with the keys finally
unlocking the door. I flip the locks to let Kimmi inside
and hit the locks as soon as her door is shut. It won’t
matter if they want them open of course but I felt safer
with them locked.
I started the engine and slammed the car in reverse, and
stepped on the gas. I almost hit two of them, but oh well
that would be two less to worry about. As I put the car in
drive I swear I heard the one guy say “I’ll see you around
Lexi.” I looked out the windows but they all had
disappeared. “And that’s why I’m never outside my house
this late.” I say trying to make a joke about what just
happened, but she stays quiet. At the stop light I look
over at her. She’s clutching the arm rests like it’s the
only thing that can keep her from floating away. Oh god, it
scared her bad, “Kimmi it’s ok really they’re not after
you.” I tell her. “Yeah I know!! But they’re after you
and that’s not ok.” She says and I didn’t have a reply to
that because she’s right. We drove in complete silence
until I pulled into her driveway. “Are you gonna be alright
driving home?” she asked quietly. I haven’t the slightest
clue whether or not I will be ok, but I’m not gonna tell her
that. She doesn’t need to worry anymore than she already
is. “Yeah, I’ll be just fine.” I replied with a fake smile
on my face. She must have bought my excuse because all she
did was get out of the car and tell me bye. I backed out of
her driveway after she was safely in her house.
The ride home was safer than I thought possible
considering it’s past ten by now. I’ve never had a curfew
before because I spend as little time as possible outside my
house. But I’m sure I’ll hear about it when I get inside.
But all I heard was “Is everything alright?” from my
father. I was kinda shocked so I just nodded my head and
went to my room.
My wonderful comfortable room, with it’s lime green walls
that my mother protested against but like I told her “I’m
going to be sleeping in there not you so I don’t want to
hear about it.” and it worked! Plus my crazy bed that I was
always sitting on doing homework or watching TV. My bed
frame and dressers were the only things in my room that
didn’t match. They matched each other but that’s as far as
it goes. They were old but not as in they were falling
apart just antique. Oh how I begged my mom to let me paint
them or do something to them but no because they were pretty
the way they were. Oh well, changing them now wouldn’t
matter since I have less than a year here anyway you look at
it. I dumped my books on my bed and went into the bathroom
to change my clothes.
The bathroom was kinda plain, the walls were blue but it
had a ocean theme to it. There was a net on the call with
fake plastic fish and a dead sea horse from a vacation in
Florida. The shower curtain was of a underwater wonder land
with fish, sea turtles and dolphins. And the sink was…Well I
loved it!!! It could have had two sinks but I like having
all the extra space. The Mirror was as long as the sink
with big lights above it. And last but not least Mr.
Turtle, who is in a ten gallon tank lookin at me like he
always does. Which is a little creepy when your trying to
pee and he keeps staring at you. After I change my clothes
I head back out but I catch a glimpse of me in the mirror.
I look a mess, my crazy hair that never wants to decide a
color is fluffed out like I just dried it. My makeup is
melting, (which means my eyeliner cause I never liked
wearing foundation) and I looked exhausted. My pale
complexion making the circles under my eyes look darker than
they normally do. And my eyes looked too bright against my
face. They
those people are staring at us now.” I whispered. She gave
me the look, which means I better spill soon or she’ll make
a huge scene. She can be pretty creative with them so I do
my best to avoid them. This so wasn’t one of my brightest
