A happy ending .

Chapter 6 - Damaged

The next few days were pretty awkward for Jen and I , but we still showed our family affection by big hugs and quick kisses on the cheek . You're probably wandering what happened to Luke and I , well I can still look at him but it won't be the same again . What about the special forces training , isnt it important ? well yes , I went on the Sunday , it was just an introduction and choosing primary weapons . Could you guess what I choose ? A crossbow . I need to stay away from the enemy to protect my wings and friends . 

It was now Wednesday , I walked into the hall after swimming classes . It was time for special force training (it's at 5pm on Sunday , Wednesday and Fridays .) The hall was filled of the students I previously met , the air had a violent scent , my bag hanging over my shoulder , walking towards the locker room . Now changed into my gym clothes I grabbed my wooden crossbow and headed to the practice dummies . I stood from afar and attempted to hit the dummy . Too far ? Maybe . 

"First you must practice from up close . How to handle your weapon of choice ." Mr.Arnold said walking towards me with his hands behind his back . He walked next to me to a closer standing point . "Put your hand lightly around the arrow ." I felt his warm breath on my face as he pulled my hand into position . My face began to go red .

"Oh , so like this ?" I asked looking up at him , I had never noticed how tall he was before . 

Luke's voice appeared in the back , "I'll take over from here ." he looked Mr.Arnold deep in the eyes , was it eye talk ? I couldn't understand .

"Fine , but be nice ."  he left me with Luke . We both watched as he walked away . 

Luke smirked at me so charmingly "So do I get another chance ?" I tried not to cry , why I kept asking myself . 

"Why did you do that ?" Luke placing his hand on my shoulder , I quickly shook it off "You hurt me ." he glanced at me in a sort of disappointment , like I should have just said yes , well if he was expecting a yes , he sure is conceited . "Show me I can trust you then I'll think about it ." I looked at him in disgust then attempted to practice on my own , all Luke could do was walk away for now and so he did . He's smart enough to know to leave me alone . 

The ceiling came crashing down in a second , we couldn't see a thing that had happened . Two minutes after searching under the rumble for Jen and Luke , Luke came from down from the hole in the ceiling . "I followed them , they got Jen . She faught back , they all fell . I lost them ." He said urgently to Mr.Arnold then looking at me with his eyes full of sorrow "I'm sorry Cat ." 

"Right we need to split up ." Mr.Arnold said while organizing two teams . "Miss . Ellas , you take Luke and Celine head north of the school . Cat , Fin , come with me ." Fin was a skinny short boy , 17 years old , nearly a senior . He was turned by Jen a long time ago . 

The 3 of us headed west of the school , in search of Jen . I tumbled to the floor than against the wall in a flash  "You smell delicious ." A pale funny looking vampire said , pushing out his fangs and holding his hands to my throat . I gained my breath again and the once violent vampire was lying dead before me . 

"You all right ?" Fin said with a plain expression on his face , throwing the heart to the floor . I watched as he licked the blood off his hands . I nodded . "I hear something , coming from that class room ." We peeked inside to find the janitor and lunch lady fucking on the tables . "Eww well there's more noise from that classroom , lets check there ." he seemed emotionless , like he couldn't care about anything , or more like he didn't want to . "That's them . We should attack . "

"Hold on now ." Mr.Arnold stopped the eager Fin from stomping in there . "Knowing Jen , she will put up a fight . If we see danger then we can rush in okay ? Lets give the girl a chance ." He said recklessly , what if they killed her in one shot ? This was insane but we had no choice we had to follow his orders . I didn't like this one bit . 

I watched Jen fighting from the corner of the classroom window . She was using her chosen weapon , a wooden sword made from a wooden stake , she kept stabbing , kept killing but more terrifying vampires came . "There's to many ......." I turned to Mr.Arnold and he was gone . looking back in the room .

Mr.Arnold looked pissed , he stood in the middle of the room , I heard his soft , gentle voice speak . "You will yield ." Waving his free hands, the vampires fell to the floor , they all began to scream in agony . He picked up Jen like a bride , she looked terrified and relieved that she didnt die this time . "Dont worry they will all die soon ." He said putting down Jen beside us .

"Jen !" Fin hugged her tightly and began to cry in her arms . "Im so glad your safe ." He was showing emotions , which I haven,t seen from him at all during the entire search .

"Dont cry im here now ." Jen comforted the crying ,  grown boy , kissing him softly on his forhead . 

"I'll contact the others , to let them know we have her ." No technology was needed , Mr.Arnold used a spell and called everyone back to the hall . I couldn't get over how amazing he was . Maybe he was more than just a perverted principle . Maybe all he wants is to protect his students , to watch them grow as a person . Maybe i was wrong about him . I'm happy we got Jen back safely , she's all I have right now , one of the only people I can trust for now . 

Jen whispered to me , watching her back "There's something I need to tell you , it's about Luke ." the worried look in her eye , made me feel uneasy .
