unsettled fear, Vanessa Harre [books to read to get smarter TXT] 📗

Valarie glanced nervously at her mother's front steps. How was this going to go? How would her mom feel about her leaving the state? Val shook away her nerve racking thoughts, took a deep breath, and walked up the steps. She knocked on the door and waited. A few minutes later her father answered the door. “Yes hon?” “I need to talk to mom.” Her dad opened the door a little wider to let Val in. Immediately Val noticed her dad was only wearing boxers and covered in sweat. “Spending some quality time with mom I see.” Her dad laughed “We were past time and into heaven.” “Just take me to my mom. Oh and tell her to put something on; I don't enjoy that view.” Her dad laughed again, “But I do.” He turned and walked to the master bed room and knocked on the door gently before sticking his head in the room. “Honey, come out with something on; we have a guest.” Val's mom opened the door and walked out. “Well, where is he? “Shes right here.” Val's mom turned and looked at her. “Oh, hey Valarie. I didn't see you. I was and am looking for my guest.” Val and her dad laughed. “Mom, I am your guest. Remember, I don't live with you anymore.” Her mother flushed. “Well, I feel like a blonde.” “Mom I need to tell you something important, sit down and relax.” Val's mom tensed as she walked to take a seat the she asked. “Are you pregnant and don't no who the dad is? Are you getting married...?” “Mom, you know about my vet career. I'm twenty one and I'm an entrepreneur. I'm also an equine expert. Not only that; the new building being made is the second veterinarian center I own. I make lots of money,” Val took a deep breath and was prepared for the worst reaction. “So, I've decided I'm going to Rio De Janeiro to help sick animals for free and I' leaving today. I'm will be there for three months, I bought my plane ticket last night, I'm leaving in a hour, and I wanted to tell you before I left for Rio.” Val's mom stood up “I'm so proud of you Valarie Martinez: you are so kind hearted. I'm going to miss you.” Val's mom started to cry. “ I love you sweetie and know I always will. When you land, call me.” She bear hugged Val then let her go. Val looked at her dad then hugged him. “I'm going to miss you my beautiful little girl.” he whispered throatily. Val walked out the door and down the steps to her car. Her parents followed her to the door then stopped to watch her go as they held each other tightly. “Val?” “Yeah mom?” “Don't forget - as soon as you land, call me.” Val nodded “Dad?” “Hmm?” “ You're outside. In your boxers.” She then waved as she drove off.

Val drove to the airport, parked and ran into the airport, then walked onto her plane. When she walked in, the plane was packed. She scanned for any available seats. There was one by a man who looked about twenty-two or twenty-three. He had blue eyes, black army cut hair, and he was muscular from head to toe. The man looked nice. Real nice. His eyes were the type of blue that when he got angry they would turn grayish. The blond's in the front of him thought he was cute too because they had written down their numbers and handed it to him. He smiled then threw the paper down. Val approached him. He sized her looking her body slowly up and down then he smirked. He did it once more before looking up at her face. Val seized the opportunity an spoke quickly. “May I sit here? There are no more seats and, well, I need a seat.” He looked at Val. “Yeah.” He moved his computer. Val sat. Oh did he have a sexy voice and big hands. He also smelt amazing. I could tell it wasn't men's clone though, but he kinda had like his own scent, one she couldn't exactly pin point.

Collin looked at her, she looked amazing with her long black hair pulled back in a pony tail, her hazel eyes, and her legs! He wished he could slowly run his hand up and down her leg, and up into other places yet to be discovered by him. She was beautiful. Darn, he couldn't lie to himself; she was sexy and he already knew he wanted to get into this humans pants, whether it was in the planes bathroom or not. He'd gotten every girl he ever wanted, and now she was on the list. Their eyes met and she smiled at him. She was speaking now. Her voice was soft, but there was a deception in it.

An hour later, the pilot came on the planes radio announcement. Collin noticed a random sketchy man stand up and walk into the pilots area slammed the door and locked it behind him. Something was about to go very wrong; he could feel it in his bones. Still on the radio the pilot stopped talking to the passengers and started talking to someone else. “What are you doing in here? This is a restricted area. Wait, please don't! I have a wife and three kids! Please, no!” Bang! The sound of a gun shot and a body falling. Every thing went silent. The announcement came back on and a man with a strong accent came in “YOU AMERICANS ARE GONNA DIE!” People started to flip out, running around like crazed animals. Humans were so easily panicked. Collin tensed when the man came out with a gun and started to walk toward a little girl about four. He pointed the gun to her head. Collin couldn't take it. He was going to let a little human child die! He didn't know why he was going to save her, but he was. Collin ran toward the man and then jumped at him. When he did he turned into a raged wolf. He growled as he landed and stared into the mans eyes. He fell on his butt and the gun fell and skidded across the floor. A women picked it up and pointed it at Collin. “Don't move or i-i-ill shoot!” “Please don't; I'm trying to help you.” The lady pulled the trigger and Val came out of nowhere and shoved the gun the bullet flew out the window and hit the engine. The plane slung side ways and people were slammed across the walls. Val was slung into the pilot door. She stood and looked at the little girl Collin had saved. “Go buckle up, sweetie.” Val then pulled out her phone and called her mom. Val sat by the window. “Hello mom. My planes been high jacked and its going down. I love you mom.” Collin watched Val as her face turned red and tears fell. She wiped them and hung up the phone before she stood. At that moment the windows cracked open and she felt her body being pulled. All around her people were being pulled through the windows as they screamed and tried to hold on to something. Val's body rose and she started to scream. “ Collin, help me!” Collin rushed toward her. Val tried to grab something, but there was nothing. She closed her eyes, and as she was being sucked up she felt something grab her and pull her down. She felt their heart beat rushing. Val opened her eyes to see Collin holding her with one hand and a bolted down seat in another. Val watched from the safety of Collin's arm as all the people get snatched through the windows. They were all so helpless. Collin looked over at the little girl. She looked horrified as she cried out; “Mommy!” Val looked as she seen a women about forty-two fly out the plane window. Val stood. The suction was gone and she was going to buckle up, but the plane hit the trees and started to flip, destroying everything in it's path.

Val flew and hit the pilot window and was knocked out. Collin flew and hit a piece of metal that went into his stomach. The plane finally skidded to a stop and the smell of gas was every were. The little girl unbuckled her seat belt and ran to Val and she shook her. Val woke up. Her vision was blurry, and when she touched her head she felt something warm and sticky on her hand. It was blood. Val picked up the little girl and went to leave but was stopped when the little girl said “What about Mr. Collin?”

Val walked to Collin, noticing the metal bar in his stomach and seeing him bleeding

badly. “Collin, there's a metal pole in your stomach and the only way to get it out is to rip it out. I'm going to count to three and you're gonna stand up so it will come out. Ready? One, two, three!” Val pulled and Collin screamed in pain. Val let him lean on her shoulder as she walked out, the little girl right behind her. They walked to a tree where Collin collapsed, as far way from the now burning plane as they could get. “Val, promise me you will get out of here.” Val nodded “Y-Yes Collin, I promise.” She started to cry as Collin started to choke up blood. “Collin, you're going to be okay. Just hang on.” “Val, no I-I'm not. I'm going to die here, but thats okay as long as you're safe.” Val took Collin's hand and squeezed it tightly. Collin closed his eyes and squeezed his stomach, then his hand went limp in hers and he stopped breathing. Val looked at Collin. “Collin, NO! NO! I CAN”T DO THIS WITH OUT YOU! COLLIN, PLEASE!” He was dead. Val stood as tears fell down her face She walked to a tree and sat down. She closed her eyes, wiping the tears away. She loved him. How could she love a man she'd just met? How had she fallen in love and the same day her love died? Val thoughts were interrupted by a little voice. “Is he okay?” Val wiped her eyes. “He's going to sleep for a little while. He needs his sleep .” “Liar!” she screamed. “MY MOMMY SAID SHE WANTED ME TO GO TO SLEEP FOR A WHILE AND I ASKED MY BABY WITER AND SHE SAID THAT MENT DEAD!” Val started to cry again. “Yeah, he's dead.”

The fates looked at Collin's dead body. “Collin we are going to put you back in your body and it will heal. You can't die until you are with Val.”

The little girl looked at Val. “No, he's not dead!” “Honey, he's dead. I can't lie to you.” “My name is not honey! It's Sophia Parter!” “Your name
