Forgotten

Chapter 11

I just stared at Damon in shock. That guy Alex was a horrible beast that ate human flesh. I shuddered from the mere memory of that night. I wrapped my arms around myself and too a deep calming breath. Now wasn’t the time to freak out.

“ You okay sweetie,” Damon asks while pulling me into his arms.

“ I’m fine,” I managed to get out.

“ Good,” Damon said, still sounding a little angry.

He lets me calm down a little before we leave the mall. I stare out the window all the way home, searching for anything out of the ordinary. I noticed that Damon was driving faster than he normally did. His jaw was tight and he seemed to be boiling under the surface.

After helping me out of the car and walking me inside, he heads straight to the phone. I sit down on the couch and turn back to the window. The idea of a flesh eater being that close to me still had me freaked out. I was in a very messed up fairytale.

“ Serena,” Said a voice beside my ear.

I jumped and placed a hand over my heart. Turning I see Damon standing there frowning.

“ Yes?” I ask him.

“ How would you like to go to a slumber party?” he asks me .

***************************************************

“So when are we going to kidnap her,” said a low voice.

“ Soon but not now,” said another softer voice.

“ But Alex,” the low voice complained.

“ We can’t do it now. I need her to trust me , that way she will make a clean break away from that stupid wolf,” Alex said, growling slightly at the end.

Alex turned back to the window were he could see Serena sitting on the couch. She was so beautiful and that werewolf didn’t deserve her. He had been waiting just as long as the stupid wolf had. She just didn’t remember him because it was too dangerous at the time. He was forgotten.

After I packed an overnight bag , Damon drove me over to Amy’s house. Then he took off to meet the rest of the pack after I was safely inside. Amy seemed to be unconcerned about this new development.

“ Can I paint your nails?” she asked.

“ Um, sure,” I agreed.

I allowed her to paint of nails a shade of emerald green and I only half listened to her talking. My mind kept going back to Alex. For some strange reason I couldn’t make myself believe that that cute guy was a hideous monster.

“ Earth to Serena,” Amy said loudly by my ear.

“ I’m sorry,” I said, pushing all thoughts of Alex out of my mind.

“ You ready for bed or do you want to stay up and watch movies?” she asks.

“ Movies sounds great,” I reply.

I just wasn’t sleepy and I didn’t think I could knowing that Damon was out there somewhere . I had no idea what they were doing. Possibly trying to find Alex and the other flesh eaters.

I must have fallen asleep because I woke up lying beside the couch. Amy is lying on the couch, sleeping. I look at the clock on the wall and its six. Damon hadn’t come back yet. I yawn and walk over to the window. I pull the curtains aside and peer out. Its really foggy outside.

I open the window and cautiously poke my head out. No sign of anyone. That’s when I hear it, a beautiful voice singing. It was hypnotic. I couldn’t think of anything but that voice.

The next thing I know the voice stops singing and I’m in the middle of the forest. Puzzled I look around. I had no clue how I got here or how to get back. I see an old log and decide to sit and wait for the fog to disappear. I didn’t want to get lost more than what I already was.

I listen for the beautiful voice but I no longer hear it. I had no idea what caused me to follow it . I heard a noise in a nearby bush. Without thinking I grabbed a rock and got ready to throw it at whatever was in the bush. The next thing I know , Alex comes out of the bush.

“ Hello Serena,” he says softly.
