Girl On Fire

2. The 'Affect' That I Can Have

I woke up,and noticed something charred in the wall. A symbol more of a triskele,charred on my wall. Scott. He must have done it. He must be like me. So as soon as I got dressed,and cleaned up,I stormed over to Scott's and knocked on the door. And then I heard someone race down the stairs and to the door. When he opened it,he gave me the look of shock.

"For someone who doesn't want any friends,you surely know how to be a creeper."he says

"How about breaking and entering. And damaging property."I said

"What do you mean?"he asked

"You burned a triskele into my wall."I answered

"No I didn't. I was looking for anything on that demon king."He says

"Than who burned a triskele into my wall?"I asked him

"Well show me it."He says

I took him back to the house,and walked him to my room,which I still say is 'under construction'.

"Whoever did this must have the same ability I do."I sighed

"What do you mean?"he asked me

"Nothing."I lied

He went back to looking at the charred wall. My phone buzzed,and it was Alec.

"What's up?"I said

"B-Bella,I g-got h-hurt r-real bad."He stuttered

"Where are you?"I asked

"A-A-At the preserve."He replied,stuttering

"I'll be right there,apply pressure."I sighed

I hung up.

"My brother is in trouble. I have to go."I sighed

I raced down the stairs and didn't even think twice when I got in my car,I revved the engine and started to drive and I speeded to the forest preserve. I raced throughout the forest,looking for Alec.

"Alec!!"I yelled

"R-R-Right here."he stuttered

I looked down,and see that he had only scraped his knee.

"Really?You said you were hurt and may I quote "real bad"."I said,annoyed

"I think so."He shrugged,laughing

"Get up,I'll clean your knee when we get home."I sighed

When we managed to get back to the car,Alec started to blare my stereo like he was twelve.

"Oh my God,Alec!"I groaned

I tried to breathe but he was really getting on my nerves.

When we got home,I got down the peroxide and cleaned his knee. Scott came downstairs.

"So you got a boyfriend?"Alec asked me

"No,he was just handling something for me."I explained

"Bella,can I talk to you,privately?"Scott asked

"Bandage your own knee."I told Alec

"What?"I asked him

"I know who did that to your wall."He says

"Who did it?"I asked him

"A man named Derek Hale."He answered

"Who's that?"I asked him

"I'll show you."he says

So I followed him and we ended up at a burnt down house.

"This,this is where he lives?"I sighed

"Not really,a loft downtown."He said

"Than why the hell are we here?"I asked

"Just wait."he says

We waited for what felt like an eternity.

"OH MY FREAKING GOD!?DEREK EFFING HALE!!GET YOUR WOLF-BUTT OUT HERE!!"I yelled

Than a guy with pale blue eyes and dark hair that stood up,clearly gelled and a black patent leather jacket,clearly he thinks he's a rebel.

"You must be Derek."I sighed

"And you must be Bella."he sighed

"Why did you break into my house?"I asked him

"I didn't. But it must have been a mistake."Derek shrugged

Than someone stepped from the shadows.

"It was me."said the boy

"You broke into my house?"I asked him

"I just wanted to get a message across."He shrugs

"Well,I wanna go home and continue being anti-social."I sighed

~*~

I got inside the house,sighing as I locked the front door. I walked up to my room and grabbed my poster of Warped Tour and covered the scorch mark in my wall. I then started to unpack. And after maybe thirty minutes,I was done. And I grabbed my Sleeping With Sirens CD and sat on my bed.

"I would rather be anti-social."I sighed to myself

It would be best,I guess.
