Turns out, Lucky, my cat, is my guardian. He had always ben watching after me and something about Demetri just didn't feel right to Lucky. It was most likely the fact that Demetri was part Pyra. Demetri had returned for a while and informed me we had to speak. This "talk" worried me a little, but what had caught my attention of warning me even more was the rumor that were going around. I began getting ready as I heard a faint voice behind me.
"As Stubborn as your mother"
I turned around to see a black figure staring at me as his tail flickered. It was Lucky.
"Stubborn?" I sighed
"Yes Stubborn" Lucky replied as he twitched his tail to the side.
"Why do you say that?" I asked with slight annoyance and curiousity in my voice. I walked from my room to the bathroom and began playing with my hair, curling it towards the bottom of my dark bernnet hair.
"Just don't want you hurt" Lucky followed me sitting outside the bathroom by the rim of the door.
"I won't" I smiled at his concern. "I've taken care of myself this far....Why do you feel so obligated to help me now?"
I knew my words came out a little harsher then I had meant but I was serous. What was so different now that all the sudden I needed someone to babysit me. And it wasn't just anyone who was babysitting me...it would be my own cat.
"I've always been there for you. Just now your getting yourself in some deep waters" Lucky lied down on the floor, his face seemed more thoughtful than usual and way too thoughtful for being a cat.
"Alright, Alright, I get it." I put the final touches on my hair then turned all the appliances up.
From down stairs I heard the door bell ring; I dashed down the stairs but my mom had beat me to the door. A number one nightmare: Your mom and boyfriend actually talking like a conversation...
"You two seem cute together and Crysta seems happy" My mom spoke and her voice seemed humored like this was no big deal what she was saying. I slowly came down the stairs, my face a little bitter.
"She makes me very happy, And I would do just anything for her happiness itself" Demetri gave my mom a polite smile then looked over at me. I always noticed his god like features when I looked at him but as I looked in his eyes...I wanted him more then ever. His love I could read within his eyes. They seem to burn for me...as my heart always burned for him. His velvet voice interupted my thoughts, "You ready to go?"
I nodded and he took my hand leading me out the front foor and to his car. As I began to buckle up the seat belt, he was already pulling out of the street. I turned on the radio, always trying to fill the silent void. Lollipop was on the radio by Lil Wayne. I couldn't help but dance and mouth the words some.
"Who even is this?" Demetri let a smile lightly press against his lips and he laughed at me very slightly. Obviously he was forign to todays music.
"Lil Wayne!" I said shocked but at the same time humored by his innocence to music. I unbuckled my seat belt and grabbed my ipod from the back seat. (I had accidently left it there...I had a bad habbit of doing that.) I plugged it into his radio and began shuffling threw my music. "Lil wayne? Akon? Jay-Z? B.O.B?" I named of a few artist that happened to be on my ipod but Demetri just shook his head denying knowing any of them. And form that moment I knew what we were lsitening on the way to base.
Demetri was quiet and seem more serious than usual. I didn't know how to feel when he was so focused but I had a turning and twisted feeling within my gutt...something I couldn't avoid or withdraw from myself.
Some after song passed as the milled rolled on. Songs such as: Nothing on you, Remember me, Zero gravity, 99 problems....so many others too. They all player until finally we pulled into the drive way.
"No one's really here. Ari's in France; Kaleigh in the outback; Damian's in Greece; And Rory's in Germany. Akina has decided her place is not....fit with the seven." Demetri seemed to mutter the last very words or Akina so I wouldn't hear but I had. He was giving me the run down as he opened my door and led me inside.
"What happened with Akina?" I tipped my head curiously.
I could tell by the look on his face he was considering his options of waht to say but his face soon grew wary and he sighed knowing it was better to just tell me the truth. " She quit, she is only 12. Akina dropped out, Dumped Damian, then moved to Texas with her Family. I have got to check something real fast, feel free to explore." He walked away and went outside before I could even repsond to anything he had said. I am almost positive he did this on purpose.
So I did just as he said and began to explore. Wondering around I found a new stair case. But before I could even go up a single step I heard a pound. I walked down this hall trying to break down where it could have come from. It got louder for a split moment then stopped all together. I gave a sigh and look around slightly still curious of where such a pound came form when no one was supposibly here but Demetri and I. It soon began again second later. I listened carefully to each door until I finally figured it was from the furthest door. I practically ran towards the door and took a hasty breathe before opening the door. The door had led to a Library I had never been in before. The punding continued a few more time till I began to make a entrance into the library then it grew mute. A nasious feeling began to grow up within me, someone was here....I looked around quickly. I built up some confidence to venture around the library but it had seemed empty...until I heard a voice.
"The one and only Glow" Coryn's voice echoed as I turned around. This had been the Pyra I had seen the night Demetri saved me at the party... Rory and Demetri's.....brother.
As Coryn walked closer he flipped threw the pages of a book then it burst into flames in his very hands. "How long do you really think Demetri will stick around?" He let out a slight chuckle again at my silence. "I give it a few days"
I shot a glairs at him that I hoped would size us up some since he was so much taller than me...and obviously outweighed me with muscle.. "Shut up already,"
"Feisty" Coryn let his teeth show in a smile spreading across his face. Again his walk got closer to me and I began to freeze.
I had never actually been set in a way where I needed to fight back...Hadn't learned most of it. I was confused, almost scared. Quickly I tried thinking of a plan but my fear sufficated any plans I could manage. Taking a deep breath I cleared my mind and restored my confidence, letting a smile slightly curl against my lips.
"You have no idea" I faced him smling confident, hoping my confidence would taunt him.
"Oh, I don't?" Coryn circled me and suddenly I felt as though I was his prey.
"No, You don't. Its all so different" I shook my head and let out a smile laugh as my words rang threw my own head.
Soon my confidence had a huge down fall when Coryn appeard right beside me, whispering something very lightly in my ear "Such a beatiful creature, yet, so mistaken at the moment"
The scary part of this was...I enjoyed this... I had to stop myself..Stop Him. I liked this risk...the thrill and adrenaline on his breathe. If anything...this had to be what it was like to be in a trance. I wouldnt let my guard down again tho. "You are the mistaken Creature" I mumbled to him.
Demtri was by my side within seconds of this, growling under his breath.
Coryn leaned back slightly and spoke with amusment in his voice, almost a laugh. "What a reunion" He gave me a sharp look. "Have you even elightened Demetri on your dreams lately?"
My eyes grew slightly and Demetri looked at me from the corner of his eye then looked back at Coryn. Demetri's face gave nothing away which I guess kind of bothered me not knowing how he felt. Guilt began to overwhelm me though. The truth was, I hadn't told him.
"Of course not, let me catch you up younger brother" Coryn seemed to find to much pleassure from this. "Your girl friend has a interesting future, blood shed, fights, oooo a child even"
I was a little confused but he was 100 percent accurate.
"We will deal with such things when it comes" Demetri growled under his breath.
Coryn took another step forward and tucked my hair very lightly behind my ear. Demetri about pounced on him by the looks of it but by then I hand my hand in his, sqeezing his hand I reassured him I was fine.
Coryn laughed again flashing demetri a smile but never losing eye contact with me. I couldnt draw away from his eye sight. "Yeah Listen to your girl friend" Coryn leaned in close to my face as though to kiss me. I almost leaned in closer, his breath sweet and adrenaline drifted in the air only dragging me in more...this sense of adventure...something Id never felt before or dared to want. This bad boy feel. Quickly I pushed away, I needed to keep myself composed. Coryn without missing a beat grabbed both my wrist pulled me close to him "We'll meet again" His grin flashed his teeth and I almost got caught up in his trance again. It was all broken tho as Coryn disappeared. Demetri's only comment had to do with a growl and a mutter of a word I couldnt make out.
