Haunted (Under Construction)

His little Human

        Jericho-

           Where was she? She had looked as if she was in the most excruciating pain. Then she just got up and left. I didn't like it. My wolf was on high alert and refused to rest until he and I both knew she was safe. I stared down at the math test in front of me. I wish I had acutely paid attention to what Avery was saying instead I tried to seduce her. I filled in random numbers hopping to be right. When I was done I handed the test in and waited for the bell to ring. When it did I rushed out of the classroom and search for her scent. It was covered up by the thousands of other scents. 

          "Jericho!" I turned around to see Ashlin rushing towards me. she looked panicked. 

          "Ash, what is it?" I asked her. 

          "It's Avery she's sick. I went to try to get some answers from her but-" She said. 

          "What do you mean?" 

          "She said she want's to be left alone because she'll get in trouble with her family. I don't like it. I tried to read her mind to get some more info but she pushed me out. It's like she's blocking out memories. I don't like it at all." She said. I ruffled her hair and walked past her. 

         "Thanks for trying. Where is she?" I asked her. 

         "The nurses office." she said. I walked over to the nurses office. I creaked open the door and saw her laying down with her arms over her eyes as she tried to block out the light.

         "Go away, Jericho." She said. 

         "Just wanted to know if your okay." I said as I sat down next to her. 

         "Just peachy. Now leave."  She groaned.

         "Don't want to." She removed her arms from her face and glared at me. 

         "What do you really want. I can tell you want to say something." She said as her eyes narrowed into slits. 

         "Ash said that you would "get in to trouble with your family" if we didn't leave you alone. Like to explain?" 

         " The only people they let me be around is Terrance's friends. I hate them just as much as him so I keep to my self." She briefly explained. God, I hate him so much right now. The thought that he is around her twenty-four-seven infuriates me. He is the reason she is alone! 

         "They wouldn't have to now." I said to her. I heard he sigh.

         "It's not that simple."

         "Yes it is."  She sat up and stared at me intently with furrowed brows. 

         "No it's not. There's thing that I don't want you to know, and if I got close to you ...you would find out. I don't want to be hated." She said in a weak voice. I wrapped my arms around her and brought her close. 

         "You really think I give a shit about that?" Was all I said. Her hands rose and fell. Then she finally wrapped her arms around me and buried her face in my chest. She felt so small and  fragile in my arms. It felt right. Suddenly the bell rang and she pushed away from me. 

         "You should go. You can't be late." She said with empty eyes. My heart sunk a little more. 

         "What about you?" I asked her. 

         "I'm staying here for the rest of the day. I could use the rest." she said. I kissed her forehead and said, 

         "I'll come get you after school. Wait here, okay." I then walked to the door and looked back at her. One hour. I would see her again in one hour. Then seventh period is our free period, so I could just leave with her. 

         The day went by and that was the longest hour of my life. As soon as the bell rang I ran like a mad man down the halls. I threw the Nurse's office door open. I scanned the room most likely smiling like a moron. I Felt like some one shot me in the chest when I say the empty bed. I looked over to see Mrs. Burklee reading a book in her chair. 

         "Where's Avery?" I asked her. The school nurse was a short and stout middle aged woman, who had four kids, so needless to say she treated everyone like her own. 

         "The little redhead?" She asked me. 

         "Yeah..." I said with a heavy heart. She looked down at her log.

         "She wasn't feeling good so I gave her some some thing to help with the head ache, she took a nap, and then a few  minuets before the bell rang she sighed out. Why did you have plans with her?" She briefed me. 

         "Yeah I did." I said. God I feel like shit right now! I turned around and booked it to the front of the school. I pushed past people and tried to make to the parking lot. I opened up the door and stared out into the parking lot. My eye saw something orange move. I instantly looked to see her walking out of the gate. 

         "Avery!" I called. she looked at me with a scared expression on her face and  ran. I followed suit.  Dammit she fast! I pumped my legs harder as I ran through the parking lot. I turned the corner and ran out the gate. I saw her about a block away and ran even faster. I finally caught up to her. I grabbed her wrist and turned her around. 

         "I told you to wait for me!" 

         "I told you to leave me alone!" She yelled back at me. That's the one thing I cant do. Leave her. It is physically impossible for me to walk away from her. 

         "Why me! Why do you have to toy with me?" She fumed at me. Then I remembered, my little Avery was human. She was ignorant to the supernatural world around her. I stared at her as she wore a displeasing scowl on her face. I grabbed her and threw her over my shoulder as I walked back to the school. 

         "What the hell! Put me down Dammit!" She protested. I ignored her and picked up my pace. I walked into the school parking lot and walked to my bike. 

         "If I put you down, will you not run?" I asked her. 

         "Fine! Now put me down." She said. I set her down on her feet and she crossed her arms and glared at me. She then turned and tried to run but I caught her before she could. I took my helmet and put on her head. The black helmet was huge on her and was extremely loose.  

         "What are you doing?" She asked. I still had a grip on her wrist. 

         "Taking you somewhere we can talk." I said as lifted her onto the bike. 

         "What if I don't want to talk?" She whined. 

         "To bad." I got onto the bike and started the ignition. 

         "What about your stuff?" She tried to give me a reason mot to leave.

         "I'll have one of the guys pic it up for me." I said. I revved the bike to life and pulled out of the parking lot. She wrapped her arms around me and pulled her self close to me. We pulled up to a random restraint at the harbor. I turned off the bike and she slid off the side of the bike. I chuckled when she staggered and the helmet wobbled on her head. She took the helmet off and poked me in the chest,

         "Never, do that again. I thought I was going to fall off." She warned me. I fought the erg to wrap my arm around her, knowing that she wouldn't feel comfortable. When we entered the restraint the bell rang as we opened the door. I noticed that no one else was in the restraint except for a waitress sitting behind the bar. We sat down at a booth in the corner. 

         "So what did you want to talk about?"She asked me.
