The Austin Files

Another Bad Dream

Renee's POV~

I cannot believe him. Why does Luke have to be a jerk all the time? I don't know what sucks more, Luke being rude or not being able to find the damn sugar. I stepped back from the counter, looking. Then Luke walked in front of me and opens a cupboard above him. That's when I notice a tattoo on his left shoulder blade. It looks like a tribal tattoo. Before I knew what I was doing, I was poking at it.

"Darling you can look, but don't touch" he said while reaching for a small bag

"I...um" my voice traveled off.

He turned around and his face looked surprised when he saw me.

"Are- are you crying?" He looked nervous

"Oh um... No" I wiped my face.

Before I could say anything else, he pulled me in. I could feel his strong arms wrap around me, his head rested on my shoulder. Just now, I realized he's taller than I am. My heart was racing so fast from being so close to him. It was so hard to breathe.

"I'm sorry" he whispered into my ear.

And that's when things went dark.

I awoke to find myself in a strange building. It was too dark to see so I felt around the wall for a light switch. I stumbled a crossed something metal on the floor. I picked it up and thankfully, it was a flashlight. I turned it on and looked around the room. It looked old, the paint was peeling and it was completely empty. I stepped outside the room, carefully walking and looking around. All I saw was dirt and some rats running around. Somewhere down the hall, I saw a room lit up with light. I quickly ran toward it, entering the room.

All I saw was a little girl in a corner and candles all over the room.

"Are you okay" I moved closer to her, gently placing my hand on her shoulder.

"Hello? What's your nam-"

the little girl turned around revealing her face. I froze.

Her hair was down to the lower part of her back, it looked wet and dark. She was completely white except for her big, black eyes. I jumped backwards when she stood up. I shrieked in fear

"Please be quiet! He can hear you Renee" she moved her pointer finger up to her blood red lips

I turned around to run but then something stopped me. I looked up at a black figure.

"Wake up Renee" it whispered, showing a grin that was full of white razor sharp teeth....

"Wake up Renee! Renee! Ugh...my mom is going to kill me."

I opened my eyes to see Luke rubbing his forehead, pacing back and forth in front of the bed. I quickly sat up when I noticed the posters on the wall. This is Luke's bed! His room looks so different from my window, which is right a crossed from his window. But not like I noticed...

"Calm down. You're giving me a headache with all that muttering."

"Oh thank god you're alive!" He sounded relieved.

"What happened?" I looked at his guilty face in confusion.

Luke's POV~

"I'm sorry" I can't believe I made her cry. I really am a jerk.

The next thing I know her knees gave and if it wasn't for me holding her, she would've fallen.

"Hey are you okay?" I gently set her on the floor. Renee was passed out and I started freaking out. What am I going to do!? The phone rang as I stood up.

"Hello?" I tried not to choke on my words.

"Luke is Renee there?" It was her mother and she sounded a tad bit irritated.

"Yes, erh um... Were doing math together. I was really confused so she's helping me" my hands were sweaty so I wiped them on my shorts.

"Okay dear. Tell her I'm heading out and I won't be back till later"

"I will Mrs. Smith"

After she hung up I walked back over to Renee. If my mom came home and saw her like this, she'll definitely ground me. I picked her up and carried her up the stairs. Surprisingly she's extremely light. I notice how her figure is very tiny, but you can't tell under those baggy clothes.

I set her on my bed. Who knows when she's going to wake up, so I just sat there looking at her. She's actually very beautiful. Her hair is up in a messy bun like always, but it's shiny. I notice she's wearing no makeup, her skin is practically flawless. Her lips are perfect shade of pink.....her lips. I felt myself moving closer to her, until her lips met mine. I pulled away and saw she was still sleeping. Thank god.

I heard something in the driveway. I looked out the window and saw my mother pull in. I'm dead! If she finds Renee here, in my bed, she would kill me.

I was pacing in front of my bed.

"Wake up Renee! Renee! Ugh....my mom is going to kill me." I rubbed my forehead. Renee you need to wake up!

"Calm down. You're giving me a headache with all that muttering." Her voice surprised me

"Oh thank god you're alive!" I sighed in relieve.

"What happened?" She looked straight into my eyes. Don't be obvious Luke, don't be obvious.

"You passed out in my arms. I mean I know I'm hot, but you don't need to be doing that" I smirked.

She stared at the floor, she looks terrified.

"What's wrong babe?" I sat beside her

"Don't call me babe! And it's nothing...just a bad dream."
