The Mix

My Blood Red Baby

The horror of the public bus was almost worse than anything I had ever experienced. The large B.O smelling man in front of us breathing heavily betweeen his chops on his chocolate bar. Then there's the elderly lady behind us giving off the distinct smell of pee. Lovely. A gross smell samdwhich. We had eventually made our way back to school. Which only took 2 days! Blah I hate traveling. I feel so dirty and I couldn't sleep properly on the musty old bus. I'd kill for an actual bed. Anyway on the way Jason had made a plan. When we reach the school we go pack a bag with only the necessities and if anyone asks us anything we day were doing a favour for head mistress. Annes gonna grab food and water too. Then we all meet in the student car park. We couldn't trust the school to protect us or help successfully find Chase so we were gonna do it ourselfs. It was my fault any way. I'm the one who needed to fix this. Alone.

Finishing his plan first I walked up to my car, better know as Chases car he brought for me. I unlocked it and put the roof down and waited for the gang. Jason, then Anne and Nicolas showed up in the next 5 minutes. They buckled up and I speed off hoping we wouldn't run into a teacher who would ask for an out of school pass.

After a half an hour drive to his parents castle, I had summoned the courage to tell them the truth. I had gotten out and told them of their sons capture. Which made them love me even more of course.... His mother broke down in tears and his father walked away after he yelled at me for it being all my fault. Yip they love me. They're gonna love me even more soon.

We set off again this time Nicolas driving instructing me and Jason to sit in the back and have a nap. Alothough my dam skin stuck to the leather seats I fell asleep almost instantly.

"Phoenix?"

I open my eyes to Chase, beaten badly but alive, barely. He embraces me tightly then let's go confused.

"Where are we? Wait no I went to sleep this is a dream?"

He breaks down similar to how his mother did, a curled up heep on the floor, the cold white tiled floor. I look up the walls are white. Wait I am dreaming a dream of Chase dreaming of me? Inception.

"Phoenix I can hear your thoughts..."

"We're having a connected dream! Wait that means I can sense you! You must be close."

I step forward and he leans back horrified by something I just did.

"No... you need to go. You need to go back to school and forget me. They are after you Phoenix! They want to kill you! It's not me they want don't worry."

"I have back up!"

"They have rouge royals with unknown power. They'll kill you, then who evers with you and then me. Just leave. Eventually they'll give up on me and let me go or..."

His voice lowers to a timid whisper.

"kill me,"

He then switch back to his confident charming self man once more.

"Then you can run and keep run-"

"No Chase I can't!"

He stops and his icey blue eyes to stares into mine. The windows into my soul, wide open and vulnerable to him.

"Why not?"

He asks in a softer comforting tone.

"Because I chose you. Chase Cunning I except your invitation to the prom. I expect to take me on more dates. I expect gifts and cheessy kisses in the rain. Chase you can't leave me!"

Chase shakes his head before looking up at me.

"Be my mine."

I nod and without a word he takes two steps towards me and wraps his arms around me. I buried my face in his neck putting me into my safe place, his arms. They dont feel the same though. They dont feel strong. They don't feel warm. They feel empty, hollow, they didn't feel like Chases.

"Princes-"

I awake jolting upright in the car.

"Nicolas turn down there! We're close."

We pull up into what seems a small quite town. I shake with anticipation and Jay places a hand on my shoulder.
