The next day I woke up ready to take on the day. With my first class being Mr. Tanner's English class I know exactly what not to look forward too. Dani and Fonso sit by me again and Fonso is being closer to me today like actually talking to me instead of being brooding and laughing. Dani writes her number on a piece of paper and slides it to me.
I smile at her and feel a tap on my shoulder, "Would you like mine aswell or where you going to ask separately?" Fonso asked with his sexy cocky smile on his face. "What makes you think that I was going to ask at all?" I fired back smirking at him. Dani laughed at us which made heads turn to look at Fonso and I.
Rachel still looked like perfection and still stared at me with green fire in her eyes. She then looked at Fonso and blew a kiss. Mr. Tanner had stopped talking and said, "None of that behavior will take place in my class!"
"It's okay Tanner, I was just showing Barbie over there how to act around a guy that good looking," Rachel said making the whole class laugh again. If I had ever thought of slapping a bitch it would most definitely be right about now. "Maybe you should try that with your boyfriend. I heard he's getting bored."I said to her smiling sarcastically. The whole class roared with laughter and Fonso was laughing hard himself showing off his perfect teeth which seemed to be weirdly sharp.
Dani laughed so much that she was sneezing. Rachel had looked like she was at the point of murder or suicide, it was hard to tell but I could care less. Fonso had then gave me a peice of paper that had his number and read, "Call me tonight." Mr. Tanner had gone back to teaching when I realized one crucial fact, "Fonso, yesterday how did you know where I lived and did you carry me home?"
He looked over and whispered, " Yes to the second question and I will answer the first one at lunch." At that moment the bell rang and of course Fonso was out the class first. Rachel had come up to me in a heart beat and began, "I don't know what you think your doing Barbie-", when she touched my bare hand I burned her. Rachel shrieked backwards and bumbed into Gina who was standing behind her. Danni wouldn't stop looking at my hand and I realized that it was because my hand was glowing.
Rachel bared animal like fangs at me while I stared in terror. "She can see my fangs Gina, she's not human,"Rachel said amused with hushed laughter. Dani came to my rescue and had grabbed my hand, "You guys are officially fucking crazy," with that we both left the classroom.
During the day all I could think about was what Rachel had said, "She can see my fangs Gina, she's not human." But what did it mean to not be human. How can you not be fucking human!? I had seen enough crazy stuff in my life so maybe that counts as not being human. One thing I was sure of is that when I wanted to burn Rachel I did, and she has incredible fangs real or not.
Dani didn't seem to see anything though as if it had never happened. I needed to find Rachel, now. Suddenly I raised my hand and left the class. My feet began to glide towards the back of the school building where I saw Rachel and Gina outside by an old bench.
Both of their heads turned noticing me coming towards them. Rachel was the one to break the silence, "So your the one to come to me? That's different," she snorted. "What are you guys doing out here?" I asked suddenly feeling self conscious. Gina began laughing, "Your the one interrupting our free period."
I gave Rachel a stern look and asked, "Why am I not human?" They both looked taken back by my question and looked at each other first as if looking for an answer. Rachel stood up from the bench and moved toward me with the grace of a cat. Gina simply stared at us as if understanding Rachel's actions. "Your not a vampire or werewolf because I would have smelled you. You can't be a demon, witch, or purbreed so that makes you a hybrid,"she said as if solving some hard puzzle.
Gina's eyes widened as she came over to inspect me, "A hybrid between what exactly?" Rachel shrugged and began walking back inside with Gina following her. WHAT THE HELL! Before my mom had been taken away she had told Rose to protect the hybrid. I thought she meant a dog or something because I was pretty sure that I was human. How do I keep finding people by thinking about it? The most important question is, can I do it again? I thought of Fonso and begged to know where he was. Maybe this would work again. Just like I thought, I knew exactly where he was. Again, my feet started moving.
The bell had already rung and I bumped into him in the hallway, "Hey, wanna go out for lunch?"
Fonso smiled,"So eager to go on a date with me already, Angel?" "We need to talk Fonso," I said looking at him with my serious no-joke face.
Since the high school was by a highway there was a small diner by it which looked very pleasant. We walked together with his hand on my waist to the diner when something out of this world happened. We were attacked. Attacked by creatures that seemed like they only ever existed in scary movies of fan fictions.
Fonso had me behind his back as soon as the demons appeared, "Katherine stay behind me and do not move until I tell you to."
The demons looked like zombies but something fouler. They had a terrible scent to them and had incredibly large fangs and claws. "Pretty hybrid, I shall devour her whole!" the middle one muffled. There were five of them and I was pretty sure that I had been dreaming. All of a sudden Fonso's eyes had glowed a rose gold and he grew a set of claws himself. I looked at him in disbelief.
One of the demons jumped and so did Fonso ripping its head clean off causing it to turn to dust. My hand went over my mouth instantly and my feet began running back to the school.
I wasn't fast enough because one of the demons had got on top of me. "Katherine!" I heard from the distance as Fonso began to run toward me. The demon had his hand over my heart, "At last! I shall be human!" I don't know what came over me but I put my hand on the demons head and yelled, "GO TO HELL!" The demon squirmed off of me and coward in fear, "Your not a regular hybrid, I can feel the angel in you." The angel in me?
Before I could respond, Fonso came and ripped the demons head clean off. His eyes were still glowing but his claws had gone away. I looked at him with pure fear in my eyes, had that really just happened? He tried to come near me but I lifted my and up to stop him, "What the hell are you?"
"Katherine, when someone tells you not to move you really should just listen," he said whipping the blood from the demon on his jeans as the demon turned to dust.
I looked at him squarely, "You better start talking or else-"
"Or else what , Angel? You'll kill me? I didn't hear a thanks for heroically saving your ass either," he said cutting me off touching my cheek lightly.
That's when I realized that I was crying. I'm scared, cold, confused. There was just too many emotions that were going on. I had never been scared of scary movies or ghosts or anything but this was seriously creeping me out. The scariest part is that I knew they were coming after me and not Fonso. I can't explain how I knew but I just did.
"I just want to know whats going on.." I mumbled taking his hand off my cheek and stepping back as the tears began to flow. We were still in the quiet parking lot of the school when we heard the bell ring. "I need to go," he whispered, "Call me tonight and then we will talk."
He came up to me once more and I didn't fight back as he kissed my forehead. While my eyes were closed he vanished. I looked around and called his name but he was already gone. This strange little town was either giving me hallucinations or a really bad nightmare.
