Assassin's Mate

Chapter Five: (822)

Chapter Five: School

I woke up, surrounded by blankets and pillows. Next to me, on a table was a glass of water and a sleeping Ash next to it.

"Ash?" I asked. He jolted up at the sound of my voice."

Faith? Are you ok? What happened? You were just saying stuff, then you passed out. You have been out for three days."

"Three days?""

Yea. I called Pops and he couldn't come personally. One of the guys he sent with us checked you out."

"What did he say?""

He said, you slipped into a coma somehow after you collapsed."

"What about the mission."

"Pop said it was too dangerous to go without a partner, so I stayed behind, taking care of you."

"Aww. Thanks Ash." He handed me the glass of water.

"Drink." I chugged the glass down.

"Thanks. I own you."

"It's nothing." I sat up.

"I want to walk around and get the blood moving."

"You should rest a little more. If you are better tomorrow, we might be able to start school."

"Fine." I laid back down. "So, what have you been up to while I was out?"

"Without you, they wouldn't let me do anything. All I could do was sit around."

"You played on your phone, right?"

"You know me so well." I laughed.

"Make me some food. I'm hungry."

"You don't tell me what to do.""

Please Ash."

"Fine." He got up and went to, I assume, the kitchen. I waited in bed, playing with my thumbs as I waited. Tomorrow I were going to school for the first time. Butterflies bounced around in my stomach.

"What if the kids don't like me?" I thought. "What if they bully me? I heard about that in movies. What if I lose control and attack everyone?"

Ash came back with a sandwich.

"Ash. What is school like?"

"School is very fun. The few missions I went on, I met new friends and learned new things about the world. The teachers may or may not be strict, but they are the bosses."

"What if no one likes me?"

"I like you. You don't have to worry about anything."

"Thanks Ash." I took the sandwich and took a bite.

 "Anytime Faith." We talked until I felt sleepy. Ash wanted me to get enough rest for school tomorrow.

(The next day)

I woke up at the crack of dawn. Ash was still asleep, so I went to the bathroom to take a shower. After finishing, I toasted some bread for both of us and set one out for him as I put cream cheese on the other and ate it.

"Faith?" I heard Ash from the bedroom.

"Yea?"

"What are you doing?"

"Getting ready for school."

"School!" I heard him fall on the floor and I laughed.

"Someone's excited."

"School!" He ran over to me and picked me.

"What the hell Ash!" I laughed as he spun me around in a circle.

"What are you doing eating? You need to get ready!" He ran to the bathroom and came out in a grey –shirt and ripped jeans.

"What do I wear for the first day of school?"

"Something casual."

"Casual?"

"Shorts, jeans, shirt. Stuff like that."

"Ok?" I went to my closet and changed into some ripped shorts that stopped right below my butt. Looking around for a shirt, I found a black t-shirt and I sleep it on. I walked back out."Wow. You look great.""Do I need anything else?"

"I have your bag with everything else you need. You can't show any weapons when you're there. You could get kicked out or put in jail."

"Got it."

"Good, we can leave now. The school isn't that far from here, so we can walk and the guards can keep an eye on us."

"Let's go." I grabbed the bag he handed me and walked out the door. At the door, I waited for him to come. We walked to a large brick building. Kids swarm around in groups, walking into the double doors. I grew nervous as I came closer to the doors.

"You nervous?"

"Yea. How do you know?"

"You're twirling your hair."

"I do not twirl my hair when I'm nervous." I lied and bit my lip.

"You're biting your lip. You're lying."

"You stare at me too much."

"I do not!"

"Do to." We reached the doors. He pushed one opened for me to walk in. I walk through to see lockers lining up on the walls and open doors with stern teacher watching over the kids. I bumped into a guy and fell over.

"Oh. I'm sorry." He held out his hand for me. His dark hair fell over his dark blue eyes.

"Thanks." I had a werewolf feeling from him. As soon as I touched his hand, I felt a shock.

"Mine." His eyes turned black as he grabbed my waist and pulled me toward him.

A/N: My birthday is in two days. My party's tomorrow and I really wanted to update before the holidays (also my birthday) I have not edited any chapters and I might not start editing till I get a printer. It's easier to edit on paper then the computer.
