Memories

Chapter Three: Memories Unknown
I'm sorry Jun, I'm sorry that", said Sam.
He pushes her close to him before she can finish her sentence. She feels oddly embarrassed by the whole thing. Why was she so emotional all of a sudden? People have died right before her before why was she hugging him like this. As she started to think harder, he pushed her back off him and started to walk away. A strange feeling made her want to scream out to him, but she didn't. He finally got to his car and drove away. She just stood there waiting to finish what she wanted to say.
"I wanted to tell you something important Jun. I guess it will have to wait for now", said Sam as she brushed the streaming tears from her face.
She ponder did he know what she was goanna say. Was he running away from her or his memories? She sat back on her bike, looked at the stars, and wondered about the past. She wondered if her life was supposed to be like this. Her father told her she was born to this, but as she remembers, she just wanted to be normal.
"Novella Novella Novella are you going to get out of the bathroom any time soon or do I have to break down the door to get you", said Samantha.
The door of a bathroom open up and a little girl maybe only four foot three walk out of the room. She had long hair and curls like Shirley temple. As she walked, her hair bounced from side to side.
"Samantha why are you yelling at me", said Novella.
"I'm yelling at you because you been in the bathroom for about an hour now. What does a ten year need to be in the bathroom for all that time in the first place? It not anybody wants to see your ugly face anyway", said Samantha
"Oh really well I have something you don't Samantha", said Novella.
She revealed from her pocket a small cross with jewels on it. The cross was made of gold and jewels of rubies. It sparkled as she held it up to her sister.
"How did you get that, that mom's cross", said Samantha.
"I found it in the back of the closet. She must have left it in a coat before she died. It mine now and I intend to wear it everyday", said Novella.
"I want that cross it mine mother would want me to have it", said Samantha.
"Oh yeah right like I would give it to you. I found it and I'm going to keep. Dad pit away all of mom's stuff this is the last thing I have of her and I'm keeping it", said Novella.
She lunged at her but her sister was so small she crawled quickly through her legs. She ran out from the room to the hallway. The house was built in such a way that there were stairs that connected the house together in the middle almost like a bridge. The position of the bathroom sat just at the end of the house so the girls raced past their father room as they raced to the main stairs to the first floor of the house. Samantha stopped as her sister stood there. Her sister was wearing her favorite red dress with lace that stretches the dress down to the floor. She held the cross-tight to her chest. Samantha wearing her short pants and white t-shirt panted for a moment and then looked directly into her sister eyes.
"Novella please let me have it. I don't wanna take it but if you don't give it to me then I will take it from you", said Samantha.
"I rather break this cross then let you have it. You have everything. You think that you are so perfect with your perfect friends. I have something Samantha and now you wanna take it from me", said Novella.
Novella raised the cross high in the air then she smiled for a moment and was about to through it from the stairs to the ground to break it when her father grabbed it from her hand.
"What are you two girls doing with this? This was your mother how could treat your other memory like this. Do you know what this means to her. It not just a cross it something that can protect you from the vamp", said their father.
He stopped in mid sentence and dropped her face to the ground then walked away from the area. The two girls walked near each other as they looked at their father. Since their mother had died there father had become a broken man. The near mention of their mother could send him into deep depression or rage. They feared to ask but as they learned there more to memories then just what you remember it what actually happened that makes them real.
The two girls walked to their room in the back of the house and sat on their beds. The room was quiet as they looked at each other ever so often then looked back in the air for a moment.
"I hate you Samantha", said Novella.
"What did you say to me", said Samantha.
She rose from the bed for a moment and then directly at Samantha. Her eyes looked as if she was looking at her enemy in battle.
"I hate you Samantha you take everything from me. You already so popular in school you have everything that a girl could have mom made everything for you, but that not enough. Sometimes I wish you were dead you know that I wish you were dead", said Novella.
Present day a cross glares at Samantha as sweat runs down her chest. A hand brushes her breast a moment then moves further down her body. She moves a little on the bed. She moves the blanket further toward her and moves further to the wall. Leron moves closer to her. Then moves back and shake his head for a moment. He huffs for a moment and then raises from the bed and looks back at her for a moment
"Although we only have sex you could at least cuddle once and a while you know. Hell who am I kidding you could stay all night for once.
He puts his hand in face, then back again, and thinks why he is talking to a person who asleep like they can talk back and walks into the bathroom. The door closes and you hear him sit on the toilet. Samantha rises from her supposed slumber and then put her head to the foot of the bed and whips some sweat from her neck. She thinks for a moment why do the best things make you sweat and how she detests sweating. She caresses her hair for a moment and looks at the moon shinning through the window in the bedroom. She then thinks about this last with Jun. She wondered if she could tell him about this or had he already known about what she had been doing. She wondered what he thought she was going to say to him.
"Maybe hugging him was too much maybe if I just told him he would stay", said Samantha.
She smiles for a moment and then looks at the bed. She remembers again the night driving to Leron house. Then she remembers drinking whiskey with him then finally having sex. She ponders if she making a mistake with this.
"Do I really deserve to take advantage of him like this hug Nivea you even told me that I was wrong, but you said that if there a chance at happiness for me maybe a man that here with me would be it. Nivea the problem is that I feel nothing I'm dead as I have always told you I'm dead. I want to feel something but it was always with all three of us", said Samantha.
She wonders for a second if heaven will accept her after all is said and done. Will this cross really protect her from all the bad things that her father said it would. Was the cross really blessed? She rises to her feet and finds her underwear then the rest of her clothes then her shoes. She then hears him about to get out and runs out of the house. She then puts her long coat on and looks back at the window. He not there she thinks maybe he has not looked out. She did not want him to see her run away she thought. She then turns the key and rides out of the property. Leron then smiles as he sits on the corner of the window away from the sight of Samantha eye and then looks at the window
"Why can't you just stay all night you don't have to run out like a thief in the night? Well I guess I can save on breakfast food since she never stays longer enough for that well I guess I go back to sleep" ,said Leron.
2 weeks later
The office an abandon building on the city Southside held the headquarter of the team. Samantha walked out in her short skirt as always and looked at every one for a moment. She then picked up the file that she had gotten by mail carrier from the table in front of her then opened it up on the large table that was in front of them
"Well boys we back for some more fun. Since the city of Chicago has nicely gave us time to get back to form they have also done some work for us in the form of getting us a new person for the team", said Sam
"Oh great how long is he goanna last before we going to another burial come on now what are we going to do with a new guy. Let not forget the last time we had a new guy", said Tom.
"Yeah Tom what did he last a week before a wolf ate him", said Jun.
"Well it nice that you all but Tim has been looking to his file for me and says he the real deal", said Sam.
"Well I looked at his file here if you all looked down you all have his. He actually is a skilled fighter from Britain he worked for the special police there before coming to the U.S. He worked as a big game hunter for some big names. And if you looked at the back of the file, you will find a picture of a lion that from all reports he killed with his bare hands", said Tim.
"So your saying we have captain America working for us now", said Leron.
"That funny Leron, but he the real thing, but the only thing half of his file is gone", said Sam
"So how do we know that he safe he could be a mole to see what we all are doing", said Jun.
"All is I know is he the new recruit and the city said they check him he is saf", said Sam.
Suddenly she feels a sharp weapon to her throat.
