Eloise POV
I expected Zeke to be waiting for me at the end of the day. I looked around but he’s not around. I checked my phone, there were 2 new messages. One is from Dail and the other one is from Candice.
From : Dail
Hey, tell dad that Candice and I will hang out. Take care.
From: Candice
Can you get the folder in my locker? I left the key in your locker. Thanks!
I told you, they have something. Something special.
I went to get the folder that Candice told me to get.
“Eloise!” I heard someone calling me. I turned my back looking for the one who was calling me. It’s the guy who bumped me. But how did he know my name?
“How did you know my name?” I asked, a little confused.
“Here” He stuck out my gate pass. “I think you dropped this.” He said, smiling.
“Thank you…” I racked my brain for clues of what his name is, but nothing came. As if on cue, he said, “Lucas. Lucas Chase.”
“Ohhh.. Thank you, Lucas. I’ll gotta go.”
To my surprise, Lucas sought to me each day that week. I’d step out of class, and he’d be waiting nearby. I’d pop out of lunch and head to my locker, and he’d be strolling along-side me down the hallway. His constant attendance never seemed weird. In fact, his presence fulfilled the loss of Zeke.
Speaking of Zeke, one week has passed since I saw him. Maybe because of Kelly. But how can he do that? He would never forget about me... Okay, back to reality.
I’m with Lucas right now, on our way back home. I felt someone following us. I heard footsteps. “Lucas, do you hear thosee footsteps?”
“Uh-huh? Is there?”
“I think someone is following us.”
Suddenly I saw a gray blur from the trees heading toward us. I screamed. Then I saw Lucas’ arms broaden and then wings appeared. He flew off towards the unknown creature. He and the unknown creature dove up and over. Each took equal turns harming each other, and for a certain time, Lucas caught the unknown creature by its foot and swung his head into a huge beam, the creature disappeared.
I was stunned, not believing what had happened. I wanted to run but I was so shocked that I can’t move.
Lucas landed beside me. My senses are back. So I spun around, away from him.
“Eloise, I won’t hurt you. I’ll explain.” He said grabbing my hand.
“Tell me, that this is just a dream? This can’t be true! WHAT ARE YOU?!” I shouted.
“Eloise, calm down. I’m sorry I scared you. But now that you almost got attacked you need to know this. We are-“ I cut his sentence. When I heard the word “We are”, I didn't want to hear anything anymore. I don’t know.
“LUCAS! Stop it!” I ran.
I ran to our front door and closed it swifty behind me.
“Who's there? Who are you?” My Dad asked, turning to me.
“Huh? It’s me Eloise, your daughter.” What was happening?
“What are you saying? I don’t have a daughter. I live on my own. Are you crazy?” What? Are they pranking me?
“Dad, if this was a prank I’m not in the mood. Where is Dail?”
“Who is Dail? Are you in drugs? Get out!” What the hell is happening?
“DAD!” I shouted.
“Get out!” Dad grabbed my hand and pushed me out, shutting the door.
I was so shocked. I don’t know what to do. If this was a prank, they better be prepared. But Dad never pushed. *Sigh* Then someone covered my mouth. Now I know this was just a joke. I struggled for a while, and finally pushed the hand out of my mouth.
“Dail do you think that the prank you did to me was funny?” I turned my back to spank Dail for pranking me.
But………..
