Withdrawal

Skye's Pov:

I feel my head bob up and down as the van trails through the bumpy terrain, as if I had no control of my head. Flashes of brown and green flicker by the window. Jordan bumps me gently and flashes me his pearly whites, in his signature smile. I smirk back and bump his side, in a teasing fashion.

He opens his mouth to say something, but the grueling halt of the van stops him. A growl cuts through the air giving me shivers and raising all the hairs on my arms. A rush of adrenaline shots down my spine as I grip my bow tighter, my whole body tensing.

"Ready to go?" whispers Kate, glancing back into the backseat. I briskly nod my head and lean down to tuck in my sock.

A large roar and an earth shattering boom shakes my whole body. I don't know how it happened; one second I was sitting perfectly in my seat and the next my body was flying through the air and then I slammed into a hard black surface, probably the ground. My whole body hurt and I felt as if my head was going to explode. My arm twitched and then I heard it, a scream. Not just any scream, a young boy's scream; Jordan's scream. My heart sunk and I prayed he was all right. After a low growl broke through the air, there was nothing, just my shaky breath.

I just lay there,unsure what to think, until I heard the heavy feet crushing the crisp autumn leaves underfoot. The low growling gets closer and closer to my head and my heart is beating so fast, I swear whoever it was could hear it. Squeezing my eyes harder, I see stars and hold my breath.

A warm breath comes closer to my neck and fur tickles the sensitive skin on my arms. I want to scream but all I can do lay still, hoping for the best. The breath disappears with another round of heavy footsteps and a large boom as a tree falls over.

I gently roll over and lift my head, letting my eyes adjust to the light. My whole body is trembling, from my quivering lip to my foot. I feel so lost and I let out a high pitched scream. I don't know how long I screamed, I just know I did until a hand slammed over my mouth, cutting the scream off.

I turn slowly in a panic, until my eyes meet the familiar hard dark ones, my mom's eyes. She raises a finger to her lips and shakes her head.

I melt into her arms and breathe in her minty scent as I sob quietly and drift slowly into the darkness.

I'm suddenly standing in my kitchen staring at 12 year old me who is dressed for school in jeans and a softball t-shirt. I watch as mini-me prepares a lunch of apple slices, juice, and a PB&J. She turns her head towards the door hearing the doorbell and skips towards the door.

The door swings open to reveal a tall skinny boy with jet black hair spiked in the front, who has warm hazel eyes and a beautiful smile. "Umm Hi, i'm your new neighbor; Jordan."

"Oh hello, Aren't we carpooling for school?" Mini- me asks as she lets him into the house. "Yeah, that's why i'm here. Do we leave soon? I'm excited for the first day." he ranted.

Little Skye rolls her eyes, grumbling "You shouldn't care what those kids think of you, they're a bunch of stuck up jerks." She angrily crosses her arms and sits down hard on a stool in the kitchen. "Well, if i'm not going to be friends with them...C-can I be friends with you?" he ponders, pouting.

Skye gets up with a pensive look on her face and walks around the boy, "There are rules, you can't stick with the kids at school. Deal?" His face breaks out into a smile "Deal" and they shake hands giggling, as Kate rushes down the stairs.

The memory fades into white, which turns into a long florescent light bulb. I let a groan as I feel my mid stomach covered by something as well as my head. I groggily lift my head to see my mom asleep in one of the waiting chairs. A nurse walks in asking me a bunch of questions that I can't understand, because there is only one thing I want to know.

My mom's arms stretch out, and she lifts her musclier body over to give me a hug. "He didn't make it did he?"

She shakes her head against my body as sobs attack my body again. He can't be gone; he was the only friend in my life, the only one who knew the secret. The one I could trust. I did love him, just not romantically. Either way it still hurt, hard.

All I wanted was to be around someone besides my mom, she wasn't telling me all the details of that night. I could see that much in her eyes, her cold dark eyes. She didn't seem affected at all by Jordan's death, we were all close and it just does't make sense.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been in the hospital for a week, each time my mom comes I pretend to be asleep. I just can;t deal with her right now. She tells me to be strong, but that isn't what I want. I don't understand how she can be so calm; a boy she treated like a son just died, and nothing.

It has something to do with the secret phones she makes everyday at the same time. At precisely 2:34 each after noon her phone beeps then rings. She gets up and walks out of the room, but I can see her through the window.

Everyday it's the same, she seems to be arguing with someone and at the end she'll look defeated and hang up. She'll walk back in and hug me and tell me how much she loves me, but I don't buy it. She is hiding something.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Allison called today. She is sympathetic, but I don't want her pity or anyone else's. I just want to be alone, the one thing no one lets me do.

Kate has been getting even more mysterious. At least I got that their from my uncle Chris, Allison's father. I guess the situation in Beacon Hills is even worse then expected if they're calling my mom.

The very next day my prayers are answered, we're leaving this crap town full of memories. This is all I want, a new start. I'll be a better hunter, the best since my mom. Beacon Hills is apparently full of the supernatural, which is why it's the place where i'll finalize my training; alone.

The bags are being loaded in the car and i'm ready to leave. I need to leave my weaknesses behind, no matter how much they hurt. May Jordan rest in peace I silently whisper into the cold dark sky as I get into the car. The house looks so lonely, all the light turned down, just darkness. I look away and shut my eyes, awaiting Beacon Hills and whatever it has in store for me.

Bombshell alert. I didn't get into Jordan that much, but he will important later on. Just wait. Beacon Hills is coming and that means our favorite man; Stiles. Very soon people, very soon. I like the way the story is going even though Skye kinds annoys me right now. Don't worry she will redeem herself later on. Let me know what you thought in the comments section. Feedback would be appreciated. Until next time.
