No Ordinary Creatures

Chapter 3

Immortal POV

My head felt like it was going to shatter into a million pieces. I might have been screaming, but I couldn't tell anymore. This was different from the last times. It was more vivid, more painful. A new image formed in front of my reality.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It was the girl, Sam. She was laughing and smiling, and it seemed like we were having a good time. This was different than normal though. Usually when I have a vision it's depressing and someone dies. We were in a field, for what reason, I had no clue. Then something strange happened: I kissed her. It was soft, but it lingered. It sent shivers up my spine, and I knew for some reason deep down this wasn't right.

She broke away and looked at me. None of us saying a word. She looked at me, really looked at me. Looking into my eyes, I could feel her seeing the true me. Then she screamed. A terrified and loud scream that made me cover my ears and double over. I never had the sensitive hearing the others had. She ran away and shouting at me to not follow. To not hurt her. The image started to get hazy, and slowly turned back to reality.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"IMMORTAL!!!" Sly screamed. "Come on buddy you have to wake up. Has it ever lasted this long guys?" He said looking at the others.  I looked up at him, my breathing shaky, my head pounding, and sweat beading down my face. I must have looked a wreck. "Oh, THANK LAWDY JESUS!" Sly screamed in his preacher voice, that he knows always perks me up.

"How long was I out?" I asked sitting up and resting my head in my now shaking hands.

"An hour at least. We started to get worried at the ten minute mark." Seamus looked at me with an accusing glance. "So what did you see?"

"Give him some space, Seamus. He's gone through alot." Sly countered.

"We don't have time for space! I'm responsible for you guy's now! My people are dying and I never knew how to stop it until psychic kid over here came along! You would be dead without it!" Seamus screamed.

"EVERYBODY JUST SHUT UP FOR ONCE!" I screamed. "I'M SICK OF YOU GUYS TALKING ABOUT ME LIKE I'M NOT EVEN HERE! PSYCHIC KID? REALLY?" I looked at seamus and he backed off. His hard glance changing into regret. I took a deep breath. "Look let's just focus on the girl for now, she's hurt and she is probably really confused."

"She hasn't woken up yet." Seamus said, looking at her with concern. Nova was quiet. Which was a first for him. "We should all get some rest" He finished. I wasn't arguing.

Sam's POV

My head was spinning. Sun poured through the windows into an unfamiliar home. I got up dizzily and decided to explore.

"She's up!" I heard someone yell. It was a familiar voice.

"Sly?"

"Sam! Hey, you worried us last night." He said.

"Us?" I asked. Suddenly, various guys appeared through various doorways.

"Sleeping beauty's up!" Said the one with blond hair and blue eyes with a deep voice. I took a good look at everyone. There was one with a tattoo on his right arm and brown wavy hair that looked to be the youngest. And another one with dark stubble and short hair.

"This is Nova, Seamus, and Immortal." Sly gestured to stubble, blondy, and tattoo guy. I received half-assed greetings from Seamus and Nova.

Immortal stepped up and smiled, "I know you must be really confused, I'll explain everything in a bit, but first let me show you to your room." My room? That implies I'll be staying for a while. I didn't mind, I mean they were all really cute which was a plus, but I didn't want to bother them. I started to protest, "Nope!" he yelled jokingly. "You save my best friends life. Plus it's too dangerous for you to go out alone. Something I will also explain later. You are gonna be staying with us for a while whether you like it or not." He laughed.
