-Echoes- ON HOLD- RE EDITING

Mystery.

Chapter 44

I loved her and it hurt me that she didn't return my feelings.

I sat and watched her board the new bus as I talked to the guy who was in the process of loading the trashed bus onto the back of a semi trailer.

She didn't even seem to notice how much she was killing me flirting with a tall bloke who winked at her as she took the seat beside him.

She noticed me watching and glared at me through the bus window as she slid into the seat beside the boy who was giving her all of his attention.

I wish I could be that guy, the one she was running her finger up and down his biceps and gigging to as he said some lame joke.

I sighed as the cop walked over to the driver of the now destroyed bus.

"What happened sir?" He asked gruffly.

I eyed the driver and he breathed in deeply. "It was a deer." He whispered quickly "It ran out infront of me and took off into the woods to die."

The cop watched him unconvenced as the driver repeated what I had told him to relay.

"A deer did that?" He narrowed his eyes pointing to the smashed in front of the bus. "It looks as if you drove straight into a brick wall."

"N-n-no sir it was either a Large deer or a Bull." The bus driver stuttered.

"From the damage it was probably the latter." He cop spoke quietly stroking his beard. "Bull's are quite powerful creatures.."

'If only you knew how powerful of a creature realy did that damage.' I chuckled to myself.

"...and there are many Farms around these parts. It probably broke out of someone's fence."

I chuckled before turning and walking towards the bus. Walking up the stairs I kept my eyes on Chloe. I heard her beautiful laugh and glared at the guy who made that sound come from her."

He flinched when I growled at him, if looks could kill God knows he'd be a dead man by now.

"Raen" Chloe sneered.

"Chloe." I growled frustrated taking an empty seat near the back behind her.

"Wow..." I whispered as I watched the Red Haired beauty talk to a small she-wolf beside the bus. I hadn't known what all the noise was about when I decided to run to school today. I was just going my own way when I heard the loud screaching of tires, breaking glass and an ear splitting howl, of anger.

I went to investigate and what I saw blew my mind.

The small girl had a vampire who was nearly twice her size pinned to the hood of a badly damaged bus.

I recognized her as Kiri a fiery red-head I had met once but I would have never guessed she was a Daemon.

I should have smelt it. But I didn't.

I sniffed the air but I still couldn't sence any Daemon scent on her.

"How is that possible?" I pondered as I leaned against a tree in the shadows out of anyone's sight.

"How can she man handle a Daemon without being one herself?" I whispered to myself.

"Whoever this girl is, she was already a target of 'L' or maybe she was working with him as L's right hand man seemed to be with her everywhere she went.

I looked over at the tall guy dressed in leather, his dirty blond hair spiked on top of his head. His entire vibe screamed trouble.

I would know. I have been running from him and his leader my entire life. Never being able to stay in one place for long.
