Survive

Baby Blue Feathers

Natalia's POV

We rushed over to Melannie's house. I don't know how much Stiles was pushing on that gas pedal but I know that we were going fast. Thank god I'm not in the front. Derek, Abby, and I were sitting in the back seat. Well the conscious ones. Abby's cut had healed. Lourde's face looks a little scary though. She looks tired and sick of life. I think I saw a wrinkle. I was sitting behind Stiles. I peaked over him to see the speed he was driving in, 95! Oh my lord! I thought to myself. That's too fast for me. I tapped Lourde's shoulder, I think I broke her daydream because she jumped frightened when my hand touched her black leather jacket. "Jeez relax, it's only me!" I mumbled. "I know, sorry. It's just that tonight has been really long and I can't wait to get it all over with." She replied in a soft voice and crossed he hands over her chest. "You cold?" Stiles suddenly spoke up. She nodded and he turned on the heater. I laughed at that. Usually when a guy asks a girl, "Are you cold", he gives her his jacket. Though this is typical Stiles I thought. "What?" He wondered. "Oh Stiles, typical Stiles." He shook his head confused and I continued laughing. After some minutes of awkward silence, Abby moved. We all froze except for Stiles, he drove on. She groaned then fluttered her eyes open to see us all staring at her. She focused on Derek though. I can tell she likes him. Lourde and I exchanged looks and giggled knowing that we're thinking the same thing. Abby looked at us, still quiet and confused. Both, Lourde and I, wiggled our eyebrows at her and she laughed. Then we kind of all laughed except for Derek. He looked over at Abby and smiled, "Glad you're okay, and awake. You've been out a long time now." "Yep I'm so glad I can see everything and everyone now. You know, some people here are prettier than I thought they would be." I widened my eyes to that. She's actually determined to flirt! She did it successfully. I looked at Derek who now was blushing and said, "Oh like who?" She looked over at me embarrassed. I laughed. "Wow, it's getting hot in here!" Lourde said between laughs. Stiles reached over to turn the heater off but Lourde quickly slapped his hand and continued, "no keep that on! I'm still cold... Inside." We all thought wrong at that statement and our load laughter made Lourde blush so much. "Gosh guys! Chill! I didn't mean it like that." She smirked. "Yep, uh-huh." Derek mocked her. "Don't you mock me Hale!" She pointed to Derek. The car suddenly stopped. "Crap! We're out of gas!" Stiles exclaimed. "You're out of what now?" Lourde sassed him. He chuckled and replied, "I'm just kidding, we're here!"

Lourde's POV

Phew, I thought we really ran out of gas. I rushed out from the car and ran to the building with everyone else following me. In a couple of seconds we were looking at a big brown metal gate. I forgot the code to it so I decide to climb on it. The others did the same. We ran to apartment 7A and knocked the door. Nobody answered. I knocked harder and harder, still nothing. We gave up at last and both Natalia and I started kicking the door to open it. Our force together opened the door in the first kick. We were surprised about that. We walked in yelling, "Melannie? Are you here?" We checked the kitchen, the living room, the two bathrooms, a bedroom, now were going to her room. "Melannie?" I said as I slowly opened the door. I walked a couple of steps to notice a helpless body lying on the ground. I ran over to her and shook her yelling, "Melannie wake up!" My hand reached over to her neck, her pulse was so slow. As if she's dead. But she's not. I reached into my pocket and took out the black jar. I struggled twisting it because my hands we shaky and sweaty. At last I finally opened it and pored it all in her mouth. I looked over at the part of her neck were black blood was flowing out, it had stopped. Well she's cured. I stood up and realized that I was standing in a river of black blood. With that thought, shivers went up and down my back. "Look guys, she's opening her eyes," exclaimed Stiles. "Yep she is." I smiled.

Melannie's POV

I felt something disgusting in my mouth. At first I thought I was in hell but then I started waking up. I hear voices calling my name. Familiar voices, I feel like I know these people, their names are on the tip of my tongue but it can't hit my mind! My eyes are finally fully open now and I can see that these familiar people were Lourde, Natalia, Abby, Stiles, and some random buff dude. I opened my mouth to speak but no sound came out. I put both my elbows on the ground trying to get up. But I couldn't, my body felt sore and weak. I think they noticed I wanted to get up because Lourde and Stiles rushed over to me. They helped me up to a purple chair. Lourde waved at me and smirked. "Sup!" She winked, or at least tried to. I laughed at that face and suddenly I no longer felt weak. I was just hungry. I got up and walked over to the kitchen hunting my fridge for food. I took out ham, cheese, some hot Cheetos, and tapatio. I walked back to my room to see Abby flirting with the buff guy, Natalia on Lourde's phone, and Lourde laughing her butt of at Stiles's joke. I threw the food on the ground and all of a sudden the room went quiet. Lourde broke it, "Have you met Derek, Melannie." She ran over to the food and stole the hot Cheetos. She opened the bag and stuffed some into her mouth. "Lourde!" Everyone called laughing. "W-hat I wash hwuangray!" She said with her mouth full. "What?" Stiles didn't seem to understand. "Oh guys, come on it was so obvious that she said, 'what I was hungry.' Right?" Lourde nodded and Natalia smiled proud of herself. After that we all gathered around and ate the food. Abby took over the tapatio. Stiles, the cheese, Lourde shared the Cheetos with him, ooh someone's in love I thought to myself. Natalia went and got three slices of pepperoni pizza. Then I got up and got me some sour patch. And finally Derek ate the ham. After we were finished, we threw away the food and got back into the room. "Well we better get going," Stiles spoke up. "Nu-uh! No freaking way. Screw it I'm staying here." Lourde exclaimed, "I call the bed!" She yelled and then jumped on it. She quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. I smiled darkly and handed everyone a feather-filled pillow. After that I ran over to the kitchen and got whipped cream. I came back and shook it getting ready to put some on Lourde's face. As my hand got close I got more excited, but Lourde opened her eyes causing me to jump and scream. She laughed deviously and sat up. All of them then stared at her for a second but then came close and smacked her with the pillows. Baby blue feathers started flying around the room. I laughed hard and suddenly they all faced me. Lourde got up and got a pillow too. They started getting closer but Lourde ran over to Stiles and smacked his butt with the pillow. He laughed and the fight was on. One against the other. After some minutes we were exhausted and just lied in a random place. Everyone closed there eyes and peace took over the room. The only thing left is the baby blue feathers that are still roaming around the room rocking from side to side slowly, slowly, waiting to land safely on the soft purple carpeted floor.
