Salvager

Chapter 8

I tiptoed to my window, Sebastian was standing there, on my second floor balcony.  I didn't open the window,I stared at him, Sebastian had a new fresh white shirt. He wore  a leather jacket that you would usually find in Grease.
   When he turned around he saw all my pain, he looked apologetic. I cried once his eyes met mine, I couldn't stop. Sebastian touched my window, then opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. I looked at him, I wanted him but I had to fight my urge, I needed to resist him.
At this moment, sadly I didn't want to hear anything he has to say. I wanted nothing.

   The next day was not fun, I couldn't sleep. Terror was all in my eyes, I didn't want to go through life, I just wanted to stay and sulk
I heard a knock on my door, I didn't want to get up and open it.
Jack came in, he was freshly dressed for school.
"I know you've been awake all night." He said.
   I didn't say anything. I pulled the covers over me tighter, my eyes were burning from the nonstop tears.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Jack asked. I didn't want to speak, I didn't want to say anything. The fact that he knew just swept everything away.
"...okay, so I'm guessing you don't want to." I said. My room was dark, breakups were never easy. At least not for me, Christian was my first love, and you can never forget your first love.
"Why is it so dark?" Jack walked to my window and opened the blinds. Light beamed in, I covered my head with my covers. I felt an indention on my bed, Jack was sitting next to me.
"You can't hide what you did Rosalina." Jack said. "The best thing to do is just go with your day. Stand out be you, the one and only Rosalina." I didn't want to me I wanted to crawl into someone else's body. "Oh and another good news your dad is going to be in town today."
Words couldn't be put in the right place. I missed my dad, but he went wrong in so many areas that the thought of him didn't matter, I just didn't want to be around anyone.
    Sooner or later I would have to get up and continue my life, why later? I hopped out of bed and went to the bathroom. I kept the light off, my eyes illuminate in the dark. It was bright red, when I was younger my eyes were blue, and to a lot of people my eyes blue but my mom could see the red and so could I which was strange. I looked into the mirror, My red eyes glanced at me. I was uncomfortable. I showered and put on some sweats. I wasn't feeling well.

     "Morning mom" I sat on the stool that was next to the island. Slouching over the counter, my body was the next Newton laws of motion.
"Are you going to school today?"  Josh asked, I hardly knew he was here.
"Yea, no. I'm not feeling well" I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear. Jack and Dylan ran down the stairs talking laughing and being teenage boys. I felt that Christian was still here somewhere, but I didn't know where, my senses are a bit distinct.
   I felt nausea.  I couldn't bare to look at Christian, I was happy that he was hiding himself somewhere far away from me.
Everyone was staring at me, I looked down at the counter.
"Hey I think we should get going, school starts in 15 minutes." a familiar voice said, enthusiastically. It was Christian, I looked up and turned around to face him, to face him. He was standing there in a fresh new outfit. He looked neutral.
Now it was officially awkward. Everyone didn't know how we'll react so therefore they knew.
To start a new topic my mom asked "what happened to you last night?" Not what I was hoping for.
"I just tripped and fell." Not true but its believable, I'm pretty clumsy.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
I nodded, "yea." Like always she believed me, I'm pretty convincing.
I walked away. Running upstairs I heard my moms voice, I stopped halfway up the stairs to hear their conversation.
   "Did she tell you what attacked her last night?" I heard my mom asking.
"No. She keeps saying that she fell. Rosalina's not clumsy at all, and when she said she fell that caught me by surprise. I'm thinking her attacker was a vampire, or Lycan. Because the Coven wouldn't let her go at all, nor will they physically hurt her, if they were going to it would be emotionally or mentally" Jack said. 
"She has the stone and that controls the coven." Dylan pointed out.
"Well, if their coming after her, then she must have something they want, I saw she give it to them." Christian said. Hearing Christian's voice was like hearing an old favorite song play over and over again.
"We can't do that, what they want is inside of her. It's her. The wolves want to kill her because she's their rivalry, the coven wants her dead because their individual magic is locked inside of her. Once she opened the lock them they will be powerful. Right now in order to practice magic they have to stay together.  The hunters think she's an abomination and the vampires want her back because the betrayal of her mother." mom said. "We can't let them hurt her, no. Il ne difficile pas non?"
"Rhiannon we're breaking the law, laws that we oath to uphold. She' an abomination and she's part of our lie. Sooner or later she is going to be with the vampires and there's nothing we can do about it."
"I owe her mother, Lucien might have been a beast but she saved my mother from her illness. I don't care I owe her."
"And I will stand by your side." Josh said, "the council will have to accept that not all vampires are evil."
"I will join to protect her, after all she is my sister." Jack was quick to stand up and go for what he wanted.
"No, she's not your step. She isn't your anything. She's neither of ours anything!" Christian shouted.
"Shhh, Christian. Rosalina might hear."
"I don't care! We're feeding her with these lies, suffocating her. Rosalina yea she isn't a common vampire, she's rare. I don't want to continue anymore, you either tell her about this upcoming war or I will." Christian said defensively.
"Would you, because today you couldn't even stand to look at her." Jack said angrily.
Christian didn't say anything.
"I think Christians right she's entitled to the truth. Your not her real mother and non of you are her friends or boyfriend." Dylan said referring to the others. "I'm new to the whole hunting in the real world, because of my training but y'all are toying with a dangerous persons life." I didn't know Dylan was somewhat wise.
"She not dangerous." My mother said. "I've taken care of her since she was a baby, I know her."
"That's because you raised her that way in this life. But all her others lives she was heartless and cruel after she lost Sebastian her one true love."
