Eye Of The Cat

Chapter 6

"Can we stop now?" I winned.

"Ya I guess," he said and we stoped writing. I slouched back into the couch, we have been working on writting for hours.

"Thank you," I said with relief. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the warmth of the fire. Then my stomach growled. "Can I have something to eat?"

"Sure, your welcome to anything in the kitchen," he said. I smiled my thanks. I got up and started walking past him when I tripped, I prepared for me to face plant into the floor. But Lukes strong arms caught me instead. I looked in his eyes. Our noses are almost touching.

"Thank you," I whispered, he smiled.

"Anything for you," he whispered back. Then he leaned forward, his lips are millimeters away for mine. He was going to kiss me! Then my phone started ringing. I jumped and he let go of me. I looked away embarrassed, I probably look like a tomato.

"Umm sorry," I murmured. I picked up my phone and looked to see that it's mom calling. She better have a good reason for interpreting me. I looked at him awkwardly. "I have to take this."

"Go on ahead," he said like the almost kiss didn't affect him. I walked over to a corner of the room and answered it.

"Hi mom, is everything okay?" I asked.

"Ummm no Selene it isnt," she said in a cracking voice, she sounds like she has been crying.

"Mom, what's wrong?" I asked immediately, panic rising in my voice.

"Selene I'm sorry to have to say this but Clara had a car crash when she was coming home in the Impala," she said slowly. My breath got caught in my throat.

"Is she okay?" I asked.

"No.... she collided with another car and it blew up... she's in a coma, the doctors say she most likely will not wake up," she sobbed. I can't beath. I started having a panic attack. She's really gone? She can't be.... I thought not letting myself believe it. "Honey I think it would be best of you came home."

"No. I'm going to stay at my friends house, I need to think," I whispered and ended the call. I stared in the fire, thinking. A tear rolled down my eye and I possessed what happened. I dropped to my knees and cried, out of sadness and anger. How could she leave me! She's really in a comma......

I felt strong arms embrace me in a hug. I opened my eyes to see Luke. I welcomed the hug. He didn't talk, just hugging me.

Only when I could cry no more did my tears stop.

"What happened?" He whispered.

"Clara...... she's in a coma from a car accident," I whispered. "The doctors say she likely will not wake up." He just nodded, he didn't say I'm sorry or anything like that. I'm glad.

"Come on you need something to eat," he said softly into my ear. He helped me up and he helped me to the kitchen. I sat down on one of the stools at the island. He whent to the fridge and opened the freezer. He came back with bowls and vanilla ice cream. He handed a bowl to me and poured some stuff out of a bottle into his bowl that smells like alcohol.

"What's that?" I asked eyeing it.

"Alcohol," he answered. Then without thinking I grabbed the bottle and poured some in my bowl. "I don't think that is such a good idea."

"Sure it is, you did it," I murmured. He shrugged. "Oh bye the way I kind of told my mom that I'm staying over here for the night. Cane I?"

"Sure, your welcome to," he said.

"Thanks, it means alot to me," I whispered. I ate a small bite of the ice cream, it tastes good, definitely with the alcohol.

"Do you want to talk about it?" He asked softly.

"No!" I snapped. He nodded quickly. I gripped the table and clenched my teeth. I breathed deeply, trying to calm myself down. Why am I so mad?

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"No of course not!" I hissed at him.

"Calm down," he said.

"I can't, I feel like punching someone, I'm just so mad," I growled, getting up. I started pacing and clenching my hands.

"Well I can't help you with you wanting to punch someone since you know I don't want to get punched. How about you step outside and clear your head," he suggested.

"Ya," I said. I got off the stool and opened the doors and walked out into the backyard. I walked farther awlay for the house till I'm at the beginning of the forest. I breathed deeply and looked up at the sky, it's a full moon and it's bright in the night sky. It's so beautiful.

"How can something so awful happen on such a beautiful night?" I asked looking at the moon. But I didn't get a answer. I growled and punched the tree in front of me so hard that I heard a cracking, but it was the tree. Well that didn't help. I started walking through the dark forest, I can see though. I walked to a pond, punching the trees as I walked. I punched a tree over and over again, just making me madder.

I held out my hand, creating a fire ball. I held out my other hand, I made a water ball. With all of my anger at the same time I shot them both in the direction of a tree across the pond. They both hit the tree and the tree exploded under the impact. I watched the tree go up in flames. I need to put out the flames or it will burn down the forest. I put out my hands in the direction of the flames and expected water to shoot out but instead a strong blast of air shoot out of my hands and hit the fire, blowing it out.

I looked at my hands, breathing hard. I just noticed the lightning flashing over head. I did all of that?

My teeth started to hurt, like they do when a new set of teeth are growing in. I looked over at my reflection in the water, I showed my teeth, my canine teeth have grown long and sharp. I reached my hand up to my teeth.

"Ow," I said when I felt my teeth and how sharp they are, they almost pierced my skin. Then I looked at my eyes to see that they are in slits like a cat. And my nails are claws.
I gasped in surprise. I looked down at my hands, the claws are under my nails. I flexed my hands and the claws retracted under my nails like they where never there.

Wow," I whispered in disbelief. Then I started feeling like my energy is being drained and I started feeling dizzy. Then I fell to the ground and blacked out........
