Creatures

Chapter One

"It's just a few days!" My mom says.
"Just a few days turns into weeks! And the weeks turn to months!" I yell.
"That's not going to happen this time!" She assures me.
"You always say that!" I scream and run to my room.

I sit on my bed. How can she say it's only going to be a couple of days! She's going to Mexico from the USA. Someone knocks on my door.

"Come in!" I say as I lean up against the wall.

My older brother walks in the room and sits by me.

"You shouldn't be so rough on mom, you know we're all suffering from it," he sighs.
"But she's leaving like he did what if she dies like he did too?" I ask.
"Lillie you know that's not going to happen!" He states.
"No you just don't want to believe it could happen!" I correct him.
"Maybe you're right, but we got to have faith!" He looks into my green eyes.

I nod. Then we sit in silence.

"I'm going to apologize and say goodbye," I tell him and get off the bed.

I walk back to the kitchen and see my mom still standing there.

"I'm sorry," I apologize.
"It's ok," she assures me.
"No it's really not! I'm just scared," I admit.
"I know baby, so is your brother," she sighs.
"He doesn't show it," I state.
"He's trying to be strong," she laughs a little.
"For me?" I say.
"For us," she corrects me.
I smile.
My mom looks down at her phone.
"Baby doll I'm sorry it's time to say goodbye!" She says.
I nod," bye mom love you!"
She kisses my cheek,"I love you too!"
Then she gone.

My brother walks in the room," did she leave?"
I nod," yeah like less then a minute ago!"

The rest of the night I spent watching movies with my brother until we both fell asleep on the couch.

The next morning I got up and quickly got ready for school.

My brother drives me to school then leaves and heads to his college class.

The second I walk in the door I look at the floor, but they already know I'm here.
I feel my body pushed into the lockers.
Then he punches me in the stomach. A couple of his friends come up laughing and start punching and kicking me, too. I don't defend myself there's no point. Then the first bell rings and they leave to there classes. I run to the bathroom and throw on makeup so people won't notice the bruises. After I'm done I go to my locker grab my first hour stuff then go to class.

"Why are you late this time, Lillie?" Mr. Helen asks me.
"I woke up late," I lied.
He nods and counts me as tardy.
I take my seat in the back of the class by myself. Me. Helen drowns on and on about slaves, which I normally find interesting, but I have other things on my mind. After a long while the bell rings. My next three hours slowly pass. I go put my stuff in my locker then head to lunch. One of my bullies friends comes up to me.

"Please don't hurt me," I plead.
"I wasn't planning to," he says a little hurt.
I nod.
"I was wondering if you'd like to hang out after school?" He asks.
"I'm not_" I start but he cuts me off.
"I won't hurt you!" He says.
"Ok I guess," I mumble.
Then my bully comes by.
"Bye slut!" He tells me and gives me an apologetic look.
I quickly walk to the lunch room before Bryan, my bully, says anything to me. I sit at a table by myself in the lunch room. I don't eat, I haven't eaten a proper meal in over a month. The reason, I get called fat on a daily bases, so I finally believe it. I take out my phone and text my brother.

To: Caleb
I'm going to a friends house after school don't expect me for Dinner! Love you!

After I send it I sit there fiddling with my hands the rest of lunch. The rest of my classes go by even slower then my morning classes. I have exactly one minute left of seventh hour, my last hour class. I stare at the clock and the Bell finally rings once the minute hand moves to three eighteen. I grab my stuff and go to my locker. I grab the stuff I need and put it in my backpack and leave the rest in my locker. I meet up with Tyler at the office and follow him to his car. I get in the passengers seat and he gets in the driver's side.

Once we reach his house my jaw drops,"its huge!"
He shrugs,"eh not really, but my parents are gone so its a good place to talk."
I nod and follow him inside. He leads me to a huge living room that has a flat screen TV, fire place, and huge sofa. I sit down on his white sofa and he soon joins me.

"Lillie are you good at keeping secrets?" He asks me.
I shrug,"yeah, why?"
"Okay, here it goes," he sighs nervously,"Lillie I'm a werewolf and I've been sent to protect you!"
"Um yeah I'm," I say weirded out.
"It's true!" He urged.
"Yep and I'm a vampire!" I laugh.
"Possible either that or a witch," I hear him ramble.
"What? Tyler, I believe a lot of things, but even I'm not this crazy!" I point out.
"Lillie, what will make you believe me?" He asks desperate.
"Show me," I state.
He thinks for a moment then says," okay follow me!"

----------

He drove to a forest and we got out of his car.

"Stay back!" He demands me.
I do as told knowing that at the end of this all I'll be right.
He stands still for a little while then closes his eyes. I lean against the tree about ready to laugh when I see hair springing out of his body and a tail growing. Soon his face and everything else transforms. I'm about ready to scream, but realize he's not hurting me. His coat is a reddish orange color and his eyes are bronze. He soon transforms back. I start freaking out.

"I told you I wasn't lying," he says coming by me and I take a step away.
I look at him and don't say anything.
"Us, werewolves, only protect vampires and witches though, so that means we have to discover what you are!" He tells me.
"I'm nothing!" I say.
"Your something!" He says back.
I ignore him and go very back in his car.

On the way back to his house he tells me,"I'm your protector I won't hurt you anymore! "
"Whatever you say," I look out the window,"it won't last you'll be hurting me by tomorrow morning!"
He doesn't reply.

---------

I walk into the school waiting to be bullied like normal.
"Hey whore what you up to!" Bryan yells at me.
I don't reply.
He grabs my chin and yanks it so I'm facing him,"Reply when I talk to you!"
Then his friends join him. I stare at Tyler. He stares back at me. I knew he wouldn't do anything. Bryan lifts his fist to punch me and i close my eyes, but it doesn't hit me. I open my eyes and Tyler stop his fist in mid-punch.
"Why do you want to hurt her?" Tyler questions.
"Because she deserves it!" He spits out.
"How do you figure!" Tyler says annoyed.
"She's so perfect!" Bryan screeches.
"So you hurt her?" Tyler questions.
"To make her imperfect!" Bryan yells really annoyed.
"Well stop! She's with me, so don't hurt her!" Tyler says and grabs my hand," come on."
I follow him and he goes to my locker. I grab my first hour stuff.
"You stood up to him," I said as we walked to my first hour class.
"I told you I was your protector," he shrugs.
We reach the door to my class.
"I'll get you after class," he tells me and walks away before I can say anything.
I walk inside. I'm the second person in the room not including the teacher. I sit in the back of the class.

The four hours go by quickly today after each class Tyler meets me outside the classroom door. We walk to lunch.
"I don't eat," I whisper.
"What? Why?" He says abruptly.
"I'm fat," I say even quieter.
"Lillie you're eating!" He says and drags me into the lunch line.
I get Mac-n-Cheese and a milk.
I head to sit at my table expecting him to go sit with his friends, but he follows and sits next to me.
"Your friends look annoyed that your over here," I state.
"Let them be!" He shrugs.
I take one bite then stop eating.
"You have to eat!" I encourages me.
"I'm full," I shrug.
He grabs my spoon and shoves more into my mouth,"Eat!"
Once I'm done chewing I let out a small laugh,"If I have to!"
