Since She Died Young....

Chapter 3 An Unexpected Rescue and The Gypsie

Grudgingly I walked to school feeling a slight pressence about a block away from my house. Every now then I glanced back to see if anyone was there. Crunch! I jumped to see what the noise was to only be knocked down onto the concrete. My face hit hard as I heard laughing. I rubbed my face and looked up scowling at the people who did it. " Ah how refreshing it is to bully you now that Sam is gone" said a smiling redhead.

"Just wait Amanda" I said holding my face. " One day either I'll get you back, I end up with a way better life than you, or you get killed for being the bitch that you are."

I felt a sharp pain to my stomach. She had kicked me really hard in my gut and I spit on her shoes. A look of anger crossed her face as she kicked me in my face. " THESE ARE $500 SHOES YOU IDIOT!"

"Leave her alone" said a bored voice.

Amanda turned around to see a raven haired girl with deep red eyes glaring at her. She scoffed. " I thought you were Sam for a moment. I guess I then have nothing to worry about."

Amanda's posse burst with laughter as the the girl stepped forward. She was short but looked about our age. She smirked as she walked up to Amanda. She grabbed her ear forcing Amanda down to her level. " At the moment" she began in a whisper. " I am Sam."

Her fist knocked into Amanda's stomach making her hold it. She then brought her knee to Amanda's face. Amanda's face began to bleed everywhere as she threw Amanda to the ground. " If you bully Jojoe just because I'm not here anymore then your pathetic" she said with Sam's coldest glare. " If you don't want to get your ass beat again I suggest you leave her alone. I'll never leave her alone with you."

Amanda screamed and was brought to her feet by two people of her posse members. They stumbled back and ran towards the school. The girl laughed and turned. I watched the red in her eyes turn to a gray. Her eyelids dropped closed as she fell towards me. I caught her as i wipped the blood from my lip and nose.

Her eyelids fluttered open as she flung upwards. She glanced at me akwardly and stood up. She brushed herself off and held her hand out to me. I gave her a quesioning look. "If you don't want help up then fine" she said in an entirly different voice.

I stood up myself. " Who are you" I asked.

" Melina" she said. " And you are?"

"Jojoe" I said. " For a minute there I thought that you were my dead friend-"

"Her name is Sam right?"

"Ya how'd you know?"

" I'm a gypsie" she said shrugging. " She came for a fortune about 3 months ago and I predicted her death."

My mouth hung open as she said that so calmly. " What?"

" I predicted her death" she repeated. " She was completly calm unlike every other person. She asked me if she could use my body every now and then so I gave her permission. After that we made a blood pact. Everytime she takes over my eyes will go from gray to red. The consiquences are that I will pass out after- How long was I out?"

I glanced at my phone. " 8 minutes."

"For that long" she said pointing.

" That makes sense" I said sarcastically.

My phone went off with a text. I opened it and read the word 'Indeed'. It was from Sam. Sighing in defeat I was turned to walk to school. I glanced back at Melina. " Ya wanna walk with me" I asked.

She gave me a weird look before finally exepting my invatation. We began walking to school which soon broke into a run so we wouldn't be late. 'At least I have protection' I said running along with Melina. We made it just in time for the bell.
