The air was starting to get cold while the wind picked up. It sounded like
little howls each time it blew. If I had known it was going to get this cold I'd
have brought a coat. Letting out a sigh I just sit down on the swing. This day
couldn't get much worse to be honest. Spent my morning trying to keep my
parents from fighting in public once more. After that the school wanted to
get on my case about being late. They didn't even care when I tried to explain
everything. Although if I had to deal with a ton of kids daily it would have
turned out the same. I'm not saying I'm a straight A student but give me a
little slack. I've worked hard to maintain at least an B average. Mainly it was
an B average due to the lack of me being at school. Looking up to the sky I
swing a little. It had started to snow lightly as if trying to cover everything
with its purity.
Swinging made me feel a little better. It was nice to be left alone although not
the smartest to be on a dark playground alone. I couldn't help but to laugh at
myself. I was pretty pathetic to be out here. Letting out a sigh I stand up
stretching. The cold breeze blew under my shirt making me snap back to
reality. If I stayed out here much longer my body would become a popsicle.
Walking home the street lights had already come on. My mother would be in
bed at this hour. As for my father he usually enjoyed a drink of vodka before
going to bed. As I got near the door it was silent, was that good or bad?
Taking a deep breath I walk into the house then lock the door. Dad was
sitting at the table with a bottle of vodka in his hand sound asleep. Great this
meant that I would have to carry him upstairs to my parents room. Taking a
deep breath I try not to breathe in the vodka stench.
Damn he has gotten even more heavy. If he wakes and throws up on me I'm
done. I will literally leave my father in his own vomit till morning. Thankfully
he didn't throw up any going up the stairs. Once to his room I literally let
him drop onto the bed. My mother opened one eye glancing at me then
closed it.
"Good night"
Really mom you didn't even want to check on dad? Rolling my eyes I walk
from their room to my own. The day had been too long plus I was still cold
from being outside. Rubbing my forehead I go to the bathroom to take a hot
shower. Once done I put on my old pajamas that were filled with holes.
Climbing into my bed I pray that tomorrow is a better day. I would say it can't
get worse but that would be jinxing myself. In the morning I was almost out
of bed when the alarm started to go off. Damn this thing was too loud again.
Rubbing sleep from my eyes I turn it off walking to the bathroom. After a
quick shower I then find clothes. It is time to get ready to leave or else I'd be
late again.
Walking down stairs my parents were enjoying their morning coffee. They
looked amused watching the television. Glancing over I see that someone we
knew had been arrested. Well to be honest it wasn't so shocking. That idiot
had been trying to cause problems since I was in diapers. What is shocking is
that it took this long to arrest him.
"Agatha, don't forget that we have a business trip starting today. Our flight
will be at 2 PM. We've left money in the usual spot for you so please be a
good girl?"
Mom you needed to worry about you two alone for that long. If they acted
like hormonal teens during a business trip it would be over for them. Smiling,
I wave good-bye to them. Who knew that would be the last time I was going
to see them. Once out the door the cool air hit me hard. My one and only
friend was waiting by the gate for me. He had a huge grin on his face.
"Morning sunshine. Did we get scared awake?"
Oh now I know who messed with the alarm settings again.
"Yeah thanks to your stupid little prank. Seriously Chris Rowe if you mess
with my stuff again you'll regret it."
His smug laugh made me want to beat the living hell out of him. That soon
dissipated when he pulled me into a hug.
Sometimes it was still hard to believe the most liked guy in school was my
only friend. One time he literally got expelled for beating the shit out of a guy
for mocking me. Chris was sweet over all but needed to learn control. As we
walked I tried to pull his arm from my shoulder. Sadly I failed since he was so
much stronger than me. He pulled me closer as the school came into our
sights.
"Would you knock it off? If you keep this up Chris people will think I'm
dating you."
He leans his face close to mine with a smile.
"Is that so wrong?"
Wait...my brain must have malfunctioned right now. He really just said that to
me.
"I said knock it off or else I'll not speak to you again."
Chris let go of me with a sigh just walking next to me. All the late students
were getting into the gate. One of the group of girls glared over at me.
Morning to you bitch's as well. I glanced over to see that Chris had given
them a death glare. Damn boy, calm down it is normal for girls to do this
shit. I let out a sigh grabbing his shirt collar pulling him into the school.
Chris just gawked at me like a fish out of water.
"Don't be a dick to the girls. If you have forgotten, girls get jealous pretty
easily. Considering you are always up my ass I can see their point."
He kind of huff-ed at me then leaned down kissing my forehead.
"Well I don't really like spending time with any other girl then you."
His joking was going too far this time. I push him off walking away annoyed. I
knew in the back of my mind he actually liked me. Although there was still
much I wondered about that. Why would he be interested in me? When did
this even start? Letting out a frustrated sigh I decide to give up at the
moment. School was more important than dealing with teen drama. The first
half of school went by in a flash. During our gym class I tried to avoid Chris.
This didn't make him too happy. We had to be in a pair for the afternoon
exercises. There was one girl who didn't give a damn about me so I clung to
her.
The girl looked over to see the glare from Chris then laughed. For once her
not liking the super popular people came in handy. She wrapped an arm
around me while glancing over to him. I could feel the tension in the air. He
was not just mad but literally pissed off now. Shit...if this kept up I would have
to escape him after school was over. Letting out a sigh I nudge her to begin
our exercises. She laughed again sticking her tongue out at Chris.
"Come on before we get into trouble."
I could see that her amusement was escalating with every death glare he
gave.
"Come on Agatha you have to admit he is more jealous than any of us
girls."
Well to be honest she wasn't wrong. The rest of the class was her teasing him
at my expense...maybe I picked the wrong partner for class. When the bell
rang for the next class it felt like a life saver. If Chris and her kept going at
it...I would probably get hurt. Don't get me wrong Chris wouldn't literally hit
her but his fangirls would. I rushed off to get changed as Chris was stopped
by the teacher. Thank god he wasn't following me. The rest of the classes
weren't with him so avoiding him would be simple there.
As the last bell of the day rang I rushed down the stairs. If he caught up with
me it wouldn't end well. Glancing back I can see him in the window on the
second floor. He just noticed me as I took off faster. In the distance I could
hear him yelling my name. No way in hell was I stopping till getting into my
house. Chris had almost caught up with me as I got into the door of my
house. Fuck if I'd been a second later shutting and locking it, he would have
been in the door.
"Damn it Agatha open the door so we can talk."
Like hell I was going to open the door. You kept giving me that pissed off
face. Letting myself slide down the door I let out a breath of relief.
"Go home Chris. I don't want to talk at the moment. You are too angry."
I jumped when feeling his hand hit the door. Holy shit were you going to
break my door down now?
"Fine I will go home for now. Agatha don't do that again please? You know I
can't stand other people clinging onto you."
Seriously you sound like some obsessed stalker right now Chris. Taking a
deep breath I stand up touching the door.
"I am not some possession you know. I can be around other people."
It was silent for a moment then the door banged again.
"You don't need other people. I've always been there for you. No one else
should even matter."
Oh my god did he lose all his sanity? I backed away from the door running up
to my room locking it as well.
Suddenly my phone started to go crazy ringing. Shit it was Chris...was he still
outside? Fearfully I picked up the phone. I remained silent just waiting for
him to talk.
"Will you come down here please? I swear I will not do anything."
Was he being for real after banging on my door plus what he already said.
"No, now go away or else!"
I went silent then jumped hearing him banging on the door.
"Chris I will call the cops if you don't leave now."
He stopped banging as I could hear him breathing hard into the phone.
"Agatha I just want to be with you...why can't you just see me."
I fell to my knees crying as I hung up the phone. After several minutes I went
down the stairs checking if he'd gone. Thankfully he'd left or else I would be
forced to get the police here. The rest of my night went by fast as I just
watched some television. When I finally got tired I started up the stairs but
tripped. Suddenly everything went pitch black. It felt like my body was
floating.
I hear something but can't make it out. Wincing I felt a sharp pain in my side.
That is when I open my eyes to see a purple sky. What the hell was I looking
at?
"Well it seems you are actually a live."
Huh? Who the hell was speaking? I tried to move but a big hand held me in
place. It is then I noticed I didn't have a shirt.
"Calm down I am just dressing your wounds. I would have healed you but
the last of my special medicine was lost in the river."
This person's voice was actually very nice sounding. It was calming even
though I wanted to move so badly. Looking to the big hands I notice the nails
are claws basically.
"There all done, Miss. Here is a clean shirt to put on since yours was torn."
I take it turning my head to see the man speaking. He was 6 foot 8 inches
tall,green eyes, black hair with white tips, and had golden tan skin tone. On
the top of his head I could see animal ears that resembled a fox but also a
wolf. Did I trip and kill myself going up the stairs? The man looks at my
confused face with a raised brow.
"Are you really just going to sit there topless?"
Oh shit he was right. I quickly put the shirt on standing up. I thought I was
tall but he had me beat. He leaned down as I could see some fangs in his
mouth.
