What hides in the dark

Chapter 13

What she's wearing*^

A month later

Alex's pov:

I finish getting dressed and I walk down stairs into the living room where everyone is.

"Hey Alex" frank says as I sit down buy him

"Hey" I say

We have all gotten to know each other better so they don't want to kill me anymore.. at lest I hope so.

Anyway if you where wondering my eyes still do that weird color change every once and a while but it takes longer for it to go away each time it happens.

I've also seen that I've been getting stronger and I'm a little more pale than I was before.

I don't know what's causing all of this to happen though. maybe it's because I'm around vampires so my vampire side is showing more?

I bet that if ray or cece was able to see me now they wouldn't recognize me.

"Hey where did everyone else go?" I ask frank

"Out, they all wanted to go into the woods to see if they could get anything" he says

"Oh.. why didn't you go?" I ask

"Wasn't in the mood" he says then looks at me "and I know you have to be bored every time we all leave you here alone" he says and I smile

"Yea it gets pretty boring" I say and he laughs

"Well then what do you want to do?" he asks

"I want to go out side I haven't been out in so long" I say "I actually miss the sun"

"Well, c'mon then!" he says grabbing my arms and pulling me up

We run outside and into the woods. I breath in the fresh air and let the sun shine on me threw the trees.

" I use to love coming out here when I was younger" I say looking at frank with a smile "it was always so nice"

"You could say that" I hear Gerard say as the other come out into view

"All I see is trees and dirty grass" Mikey says

"Then you sit haven't looked heard enough" I say grabbing his hand and walking further into the woods until we get to a cliff where a big water fall is

"Wow" I hear them all breath out

"Yup me and my friends use to come here all the time, until they said it was to dangerous because of.... yea" I say looking at it

"What did you guys do just look at it?" Mikey asks

"No there's a cave behind that water fall" I say

"How do we get there?" frank asks and I smile backing up pass them

I walk a couple feet back and they all look at me confused. I run and Gerard try's to grab me but I'm already off the the cliff.

I hit the water letting the cold send shock waves threw me then I come up for air looking up to see them all look down at me.

"Are you coming or what!" I say and I see frank jump and land by me then Mikey then Gerard

"Alright where now" frank asks

"Follow me" I say and dive under water swimming

You can see all the fish swimming around. I look behind me and see frank trying to catch one.

I come back up for air and so does everyone else.

"That's so cool" Gerard says swimming up by me his hair covering half of his face

"Then keep following me" I say

We get to the water fall stepping up on a rock.

"All we have to do is jump threw!" I yell over the rushing water " that's where the cave is!" I say

I jump and land on some grass then get up sitting on top of a big rock
In the cave.

Once everyone is in they all look around see all the pictures me and my friends hung up and weird drawings that we did on the sides of the cave.

"Is this you?" Gerard asks pointing to a taped up picture on the wall

"These are all pictures of me and my friends, we all practically grew up in here" I say stepping down off the rock and looking at the first picture we ever hung up

It was when I was 5. me and ray wondered off with are cameras take in pictures of everything when we found this place.

"How old where you?" frank asks looking at it with me and I see everyone else is too

"i was 5 , my cousin ray was 6" I answer

"You look so cute!" frank says

"Shut up" I punch his arm and go to look at some other ones

I stop at one of me, cece, ray, and josh we where all in 8th grade at the time. it was my 14th birthday and we came here.

I feel a tear roll down my cheek. I miss josh.

"You ok?" I hear Gerard ask softly

"Yea.." I say wiping away my tears "just miss him, I wish we never went there that night" I say getting a little mad at myself

"Miss who?" he says and I get a little more mad as the flash backs of frank and Gerard killing my friends comes back

I turn and look at him "my friend that you killed" I say "and along with Haley the frank killed! and Tyler!" I say getting mad

"Alex your eyes" Gerard says

"So what about my eyes! you killed my friends! god why did I ever come here I react her be dead!" I yell and bolt out of there

I run up the little path way threw some rocks and away from them.

I can't look at them knowing what they did.

'god how stupid was I? why didn't I remember that sooner!?' I start to think

'Why did I kiss that.. that monster!' I
Yell in my mind

'Alex' hear Gerard soft voice from inside my mind

'No leave me alone!'

'Please Alex, I'm sorry-' I cut him off

"No! I can't to this anymore!" I yell

'Alex please don't do anything stupid' I hear the worry in his voice

I ignore him covering my ears wanting to for get everything. not have to feel pain or worried or sad.

I start to break down in big sobs. I'm about to just let myself fall to the ground when I feel someone's arms wrap around me.

There cold and wet just like me.

"Alex please look at me" Gerard's worried voice whispers softly into my ear

I loom at him and he moves some hair out of my face.

"God your eyes and blood red" he says and I barrie my head into his chest

"I don't feel well" I whisper and he feels my head

"Your burning up" he says "c'mon lets get you home everyone already went there" he says picking me up
