Red-Blooded

Fight

"Thank goodness you're okay," Jason sighs in relief. "It takes a lot to kill me, Jase." I say, putting one hand on my hip and pointing to myself with the other. He giggles in response.
I sit in my room then night when Chris dropped me off. I have already heard a lecture from my mom and she asked me what happened. At first I hesitated but then I told her about Chris and Stephen, I had to cause she's the only person who can guide me.
"You are a Guardian Fable, you are supposed to protect Stephen." She had told me a few hours ago.
Jase leaves the room, closing the door behind him.
I lay down on my bed, I have to go to school tomorrow.
I turn off my lights and go to sleep, thoughts of Chris and Stephen sweep through my mind. I push them aside and let sleep come.

I groan when I hear the alarm clock ring through my ears. It's dark. I attempt to get out of bed but fall, face first on to the ground.
Oh wait, my eyes are closed. No wonder it's so dark. I open my eyes and stumble into the bathroom, take a shower, tackle the tangles out of my long thick hair. I put on a white t-shirt and a jet back sweater. I also put on some light blue skinny jeans and black converse. I tie my hair into a high ponytail which will come undone in 3 hours due to my extremely silky and untameable hair.
Jason drives us to school, parks and I walk to my locker.
There, waits a familiar brunette. "Hi," Chris greets. "Hi." I reply cheerfully, but of course the happiness is just a cover up of my real emotions. Even if he saw through it, he didn't show it.
I go through my classes just like any other day, until finally lunch arrives. I sit with my normal group but of course, Stephen isn't included since he's not here.
Taylor doesn't come over this time, instead she goes to my brothers table, Which isn't in earshot. She goes up to Jason and talks sassily. Jason has a mix of confused and annoyed look on his face. Then she jumps in his lap, being the drama queen she is.
Jason looks over at me with a look that says, 'help me or I'll murder you.'
I just wave casually and continue eating, I know I should help him but it's just so fun to watch him in an uncomfortable state.
I hear a scream followed by a crash and instantly whoop my head around. Jason is just standing there stunned while Taylor gets beaten up by a red head. People make a crowd around the two and watch in amusement until Ellie and Maria pull the two apart.
The red head smirks in satisfaction and turns to Jason. I glance at Taylor who has a bloody and bruised face now. She may have been rude to me but I am not cold hearted, so I help her to the nurses office.
"W-why are you helping me anyways?" She asks as we walk down the halls. "Because I am not cold hearted. Sure I'm not the kindest person in the world but I still have some of it in me." I reply, speaking my thoughts.
She doesn't reply, I guess she doesn't have an answer.
I leave her at the nurses office and continue my day as if nothing happened.

"You are not to be around that friend of yours... Chris was it?!" Mom yells at me after I get home. It started off as a calm lecture but then her voice slowly rose to a yell.
"He is nothing but a monster, you hear me?!" She yells louder then before. Jason runs down the stairs. "What's going on?" He slightly pants in between words. He looks at mom, then at me then at mom again.
"I'm just telling your one hell of a stupid sister to stay away from danger." She yells at Jason. That's not fair, she shouldn't yell at him, none of this is his fault.
"Don't yell at him, mom." I speak my thoughts. "You cannot tell me what to do, Selene." She yells sternly. "Go to your room, both of you, and you both are grounded for 3 weeks." She says, trying to keep her voice steady. "But Jason didn't even do anything!" I yell back this time which I realize was a mistake because she is angrier then before. If that's even possible. "Go!" She points to the staris. Without a word, me and Jason go to our rooms. This isn't the first time mom yelled at us. But it hasn't ever been this harsh.
"I'm so sorry, Jase." I apologize to Jason once mom can't hear us. "It wasn't your fault. And why was she telling you to stay away from Chris?" He asks. Oh yeah, I didn't tell him about Chris or Stephen. "He's a Silver-blood." I blurt out then cover my mouth. "Promise me you won't tell anyone." I say. "My lips are sealed. Oh and one more thing..." He says. I gesture for him to go on. "You like Chris don't you?" He teases.
"N-no!" I whisper yell, my cheeks slowly turning a deep scarlet red.
"Mhmmmm, then that's why your blushing huh?" He points to his own cheeks. I shake my head and walk to my room. "Selene and Christopher, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. First comes the-" I clamp my hand over his mouth. "Shut up." I say, then in a blur, I run to my room.
