The King, The Enemy, and the Wars[Sequel to The Slayer]

Chapter 44

In the morning I was awoken by the shades being pulled back that were behind Bruce's couch. I moaned not wanting to get up but knew I had to. When I sat up and let my eyes focus, Bruce was already dressed and ready for work and I just shook my head in disapproval.

"Time to get up, its seven fifteen and I didn’t want you to sleep too late in case you took a long time in the morning getting ready. You can go into my sister's room and choose clothes out, I will be downstairs," Bruce said before he left.

                I got up and went to the bathroom and brushed my hair and brushed my teeth with the extra toothbrush Bruce laid out for me last night. Walking out I left Bruce's room and walked across the hall and went in his sister's room. The room looked exactly like Bruce's, a complete duplicate. There was makeup in the bathroom which I used, and I looked through her drawers to see if any of her clothing would fit. I found a grey tank top that was fitted and a pair of worn out black jeans. Since the tank top was spaghetti straps I had to grab a jacket due to the dress code, so I opened the closet and found a black jean jacket that was collared and also roughed up a bit. Walking into the bathroom I checked if I looked alright and then went downstairs to find that it was seven forty-five and I almost started to panic but kept calm so Bruce didn't feel rushed.

"Finally, so we ready to go?" Bruce joked as he put on his jacket and put his square glasses on.

"Completely ready," I responded.

                We got in the car and it was silent for a while. I felt bad for waking him up last night and I couldn't really remember much since I was so tired and freaked out.

"I'm sorry for waking you last night," I finally said.

"It's fine, trust me I've had nightmares too, I get it, they are scary," Bruce said as he made a left turn.

"Yeah, well, thanks for uh…" I didn’t know what the word was…

"For helping you get back to bed with a story?" Bruce finished.

"Yeah, right, that story, thank you," I said with a nervous smile.

"I have to teach three classes today and my last class ends at one, and if Diane isn't at work today, I will search for her and if I find her I will give her the cure alright?" Bruce said as he pulled into the school and drove up to the drop off area.

"Yeah, alright. Good luck with that," I said.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Bruce said turning his head to me.

"Yeah, I'm fine…" I replied with a smile.

"Alright, well if you see Diane or find anything out call me alright?" Bruce said as he took out a vial of wolfsbane and handed it to me.

"Trust me you would be the first person I call if I find anything," I said as I took the wolfsbane and opened the door to get out.

"Have a good day at school," Bruce joked.

"You too," I played back with a smile.

                When I got to class I was fifteen minutes late and after class the teacher held me back to explain since I'm never late. Later during Photo I saw Josh trying to make nice with Trace who nodded along and spoke here and there but rolled his eyes at me in annoyance. I sat next to him and asked him how detention was so maybe Josh wouldn’t try so hard.

"Detention was detention, always the same. But the real question was how was last night?" Trace said nudging me and nodding his head and raising his eye brows with a smirk on his face.

"Funny, I slept in his bed and he took the couch in his room, nothing happened," I said.

"But you wanted something to…"Trace said softly.
