Mermaid Bay

Chapter 16

It was strange... Tris had this feeling, almost like a vibe about her. It wasn't something I could describe very easily. She felt like water, like home. I shook the thought from my head. No, no, there wasn't anything supernatural around here besides me. Or at least I hope there isn't. The only people who know about me are hunters. One of the very hunters I am going to see today. Taylor. As you know I am not the most cordinated so I ran smack straight into a person.

"Oh, I am so sorr-" I looked up and stopped mid scentence. It was taylor. I felt myself start to hypervenilate. I tried to calm myself down, not that it worked very well. I looked into his eyes as he was looking at me. His eyes were black, which scared me even more. But there was something more, like he almost understood my fear. It went away as quickly as it appeared.

"Hey there, fish" He said as I was starting to get up. I froze in that position, which was very weird if you saw me in the hallway. My knees bended, my butt sticking out. I didn't care though, he knew that I knew, or at least I think he did.'Wow thats confusing' I thought. I stood up all the way and tried acting dumb, like I didn't know what he was talking about. I am blond I could pull it off.

"Fish? I don't know what you are thinking calling me that, but don't do it again" I tried to walk past him, but he grabbed my arm. Keeping me at his side, Taylor put his mouth close to me ear and he talked to me in a low voice,

"I know that you know that I know what you are so don't try to play dumb with me. We can't take you out yet, we don't have permission yet, but we will be keeping a close eye on you. So don't try to run, because we then can kill you." He threatened. I was trembiling like a chiwawa. "Bye vanessa" Taylor waved to me as he walked down the hall to our class. I stood there trying to comprehend what Taylor had just told me. I wasn't going to live much longer, but I wasn't going to die right now. I am not going to go die, or at least I don't want to die.

Somebody wrapped there arms around my waist. I jumped at first because I thought that ot was Taylor coming to take me to the sacrifice or whatever. It wasn't him though. When taylor was around I could fell threatened and scared. "Hey" Gale wispered in my ear. I relaxed and sighed.

"Hey yourself" I said as I turned around to face him. His face had a smirk on it as he looked at me.

"Lets go to class," he grabbed my hand and led us to the direction of our classroom. Inside I was freaking out, but I couldn't let my feelings show. I didn't have an explanation I can give to people. If I give them the real reason is to why my life might be over soon they would lock me In a crazy house. I had to act normal, like nothing was wrong. If only it was that easy.

After school*******

I finally got off the bus which I have never and will never like that thing. My hand reached towards the doorknob to my room when I got the familiar scared feeling, the one I get when I am around Taylor. I brushed it off thinking I was just being my not so normal Parinoid self, but it took a lot of effort to open my door. I took a deep breath and bursted into my room. Every thing was like it should be, the sun shinig through the window, the dirty pile of clothes under my bed that I haven't gotten around to picking up yet. I really do think I am going crazy.

I kicked my door shut with my foot, still looking around my room to convince myself that Taylor wasn't in here. Just to reassure myself I Layed down and looked under my bed, I also checked the closet and bathroom. Taylor was no where in my room. I headed a chuckle behind me and I quickly spun around. There was Taylor, leaning against my door, his arms crossed and him shaking his head.

"out of all the places you looked you didn't look behind you? You really should be more careful", he said still chuckling
