The Clash Ch 1

Ok so here is the new story

Chapter 1

"What do you mean your not going to go to Harvard?" I turend to my mom who was standing in my doorway and her face was the redest I have ever seen it, "I don't want to do it anymore mom, it isn't my dream, it is yours!" "What? We have been talking about Harvard since you were fifteen and now three years later you change your mind! Why?" I looked out my window to see the busyiness of Nashville, "I want to be an artist mom." "An artist! You must be joking you have no future there, will you starve." "No I won't mom, I am good and I know I can do it." "Nonsense, you young lady are going to Harvard and that is that. Now your father and I are going to the Opry and will be back late, so maybe by then you will see things more clearly." She slammed the door behind her as she left. I have no idea how she thinks she can boss me around, I am adult now.
Just then my cell phone rang, "Hello?" "Aubrey you got to get out here!" "Wait, where are you?" "Elizabethton, now get your butt down here." "Jill calm down, what is going on?" "There is a guy here who wants you to do a commission for him!" "What! Who! Why!" "Haha and your telling me to calm down, he is a local artist here and I showed him some of your drawings. He said he would pay you sixty dollars for each of the commissons." "Oh my gosh! That is amazing!" "How fast can you get here?" "Well I have to ask my parents... crap I know my mom is not going to let me go." "Aubrey you are eighteen years old, you don't need their permisson anymore. You are an adult now, you can make you own desisions now!" "Ok I will leave tonight, my parents will be at the Opry all night. I will catch the nine o'clock train, so I have a little over two hours to get out of Nashville to that one train station in the country." "Ok see you in a couple of days." "Yeah see you later!"

Chapter 8

He walked out of the room and I turned to look at my journal, could this be? Could someone as wonderful as Alex like me? It doesn't seem possible but it is. I looked at the time, wow could it really be that late already? I stayed up until 12 waiting for Alex to get back, but he didn't show.

~~~~~~3 weeks later~~~~~

"Hey Hannah can you help me with the engine on the cycle?” Looked into the garage to find Aden working on the old beat up cycle he bought last week. “What do you need help on?” “I am not sure, I think something got jammed. Can you take a look?” “Sure.” He moved out of the way, and pointed to where he thought the problem was. I bent over and looked at the spot, “I see the problem here; and these two parts are jamming into each other. Hand me the screw driver. Here we go, try it now.” The engine revved up. “I don’t understand how you of all people could figure this out and not me.” “What is that suppose to mean?” “Well you are a girl.” “Yeah thanks for noticing.” “It is just—” ‘It is just girls can’t be as good as guys when it comes to machines right?” “Well yeah.” “You are so medieval.” “Why thank you.” he bowed to me, “Argh!” I turned towards the door and stormed out. Why does everyone here treat me like that? I walked into the computer lab and saw Alex. Well I guess not everyone, “Hey Alex what you working on?” he turned in his chair and smiled “Why don’t you take a look for yourself?” I looked at the screen and saw a figure with brown hair and some very familiar features, “Is that suppose to be me?” “Well does it look like you?” “I think so.” “Good, because it is.” He laughed. I had to admit it was really close to what I really looked like; it just was more manga looking. “This is really good.” “Well thank you.” “Anytime Alex, so where is everyone?” “Well Aden is in the garage but by telling by the look on your face when you walked in you already knew that. The rest of the guys are at a shop buying parts and more guns.” “Oh ok. Did they want us to do anything?” “No actually they wanted us to take a break, since we have been none stop since we got here.” “Yeah we have, well that was nice of them.” “Yeah, so do you want to do something together?” “Yeah, what do you have in mind?” “Um I don’t know, you pick.” “I don’t know you pick.” “No you can pick.” “Wow we are getting so much done. How about we just go mess around with the computers or the systems?” “Oh didn’t my dad buy a Wii?” “Yeah, why?” “Well lets do that.” “Ok what games do you have? Do you know?” “Actually we only have ‘Smash Bros. Brawl’.” “Oh, well let’s play that.” “Ok then.” We walked in the other room with the flat screen and started to play, and to my surprise I was good at this game. We played for about two hours and then took a break. “Wow Hannah you did pretty well, have you played this before?” “No, just watched people play it. How about you?” “Yeah I used to play it a lot.” We sat there in silence for a moment or too just looking into each other’s eyes, “I kind of want to kiss you.” “I kind of want to too.” Just then Alex closed his eyes and lean in towards me and I leaned in towards him. Then our lips touched, it was so soft and perfect.

SORRY

Chapter 7

Ch 7

So many thoughts were rushing through my head. What is this feeling? I know I have feelings for Alex, I just didn’t know how much. Does he have feelings for me, I mean I know that he does and he knows that I know, but does he feel as much as I do? “Hannah?” I looked up from my notebook, Alex was standing in my door way. “Hey what’s up?” “Nothing, I was just wondering if something is wrong.” “Oh, no nothing is wrong… Why do you think something is?” “Kind of…” “Why?” “I don’t know, it just seems like there is something off, something different since we got back here.” “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” I lied trying to hide my face, he lifted up my face with his hand and made me look him the eye, “Hannah, I care for you more than you may think, and if something is wrong then I need you to tell me.” “I know you care; why else would you be helping me like this.” “Don’t you understand? I don’t care for you like a friend or a brother would, I care for you like…” “Like what?” “I don’t know, it is too difficult to describe.” “I think know exactly what you are trying to say.” “Then you will be ok if I ask you something.” “Of course I would be.” “Hannah, will you go out with me, you know like be my girlfriend.” “Well it is about time you ask me that, of course I will.” I laughed and then he turned around to walk out the doorway, “I got to go run an errand, but I will be back soon.” “Ok” “Just one more thing.” “Ok, what?” “I am glad we are together.” I smiled “Me too.” “Bye” “Bye”

Chapter 6

Ch 6

I woke up and I looked across the hall to see Alex sitting on his bed reading looked to be a comic of some sort. He looked up from the comic he was reading and looked over to my room. He smiled and then went back to his reading. I looked over to the clock that was on the stand next to the bed to see it was already 12:30 pm. Wow he must have been waiting for me to get up, I looked over to see him already dressed. I got up and closed the door to get dress then made my way down the hall to where the bathroom was to brush my teeth.
I walked out of the bathroom to only run straight into Aden, “Just can’t keep your hands off me huh?” “You pig.” I pushed pasted him just to run into Alex next, “Didn’t you learn lesson from last night Aden?” “Oh that was just a little fun.” “Fun for who Aden, for you or her?” “Hey who is the one she ditched on the plane?” “I didn’t ditch you did I?” “Not really and even if you did, I forgave you.” “Oh how sweet but we all know how this going to go.” “Oh yeah and how is that Aden?” “You’re going to come to me like a moth to a flame. Once you have taken a taste of the bad side you’re going to come right back.” “Taste?” Alex looked at me, “Oh she didn’t tell you. We kissed.” “First off you forced yourself on me, second you missed and third I hit you in a certain place which was why you were on the ground in pain.” “You did what to her!” Alex was about to lunge at Aden when I pulled him back, “Alex, no don’t. He is not worth it.” “Fine, but listen here, if you ever touch her again I will come after you.”
He took my hand and led me down to the kitchen, “Why didn’t you tell me, I knew you didn’t want him to near you last night but you never said why?” “Because I didn’t want you to overreact and do something stupid, plus I can handle myself.” “Right” “What you don’t think I can?” “Sorry Hannah no, I don’t think so.” “Why?” “Well it not that I don’t think you can, but I think you wouldn’t last long. It is nothing personal it is just well never mind.” “Just what?” “It is nothing I just don’t want to see you get hurt.” “Alex I am bound to get hurt ok, my dad kind of left behind a mess that I have to help get him out of, but I think it is sweet that you are worried.” He smiled and blushed then pulled out a chair for me at the table. It smelled really good in there, I looked around and saw a large muscular man at the stove. Alex went over to him and started to talk to him. I heard a sneeze which made me jump out of my skin looked over to see the guy with the thick rim glasses fiddling around with a laptop next to me. “Morning Hannah, how did you sleep?” “Very well thanks.” “That is good to hear,” I smiled and started to fiddle with my necklace, “I see you are wearing the family crest.” “This?” I looked down to the weird symbol on the chain. “Yes it is the Conner family crest; your father wasn’t the only one in your family that was a thief.” “Really, can you tell me about my family?” “Yes I can, let see where to start. Well your father came from a long line of thieves, but then they got sloppy; your grandparents Beth and Chris left a trail and they found them.” “Who found them?” “The Vine Gang, a ruthless gang that competed with your family on heists. They kill your grandparents not knowing your father was in the other room hiding. Your father was sent to distant family until he was fifteen then he ran away, that is when he meet us. It was a rainy day, your father needed money, I needed food, Gabriel stole jewels for a girlfriend, and Michael needed meds, we were all running from the cops and ran into each other then help each other get away. Since then we have been best friends and watched over each other. We went on the greatest heist and adventures, and then Gabriel started to take things into his own hands. He tried to turn us against your father and almost did. We decided to kick him out while we were doing a job. Shortly after is when we meet your mom. Carmen was an inspector that seemed to be everywhere we were. There were times were we helped her but most the time she was trying to put your father in jail. Then one job changed everything, we assembled a huge group to take down Gabriel, and this is where I met my wife and same with Michael…but it didn’t end well. We all did our part and it was up to your father, there was a bang and we couldn’t find your father or Gabriel. That is until your mother’s promotion banquet, I was watching from a far and there stood your mother and your father. From what I had heard he had amnesia and didn’t remember anything or so we were led to thought, it turns out he remembers everything; and apparently Gabriel survived the blast as well and sent Penelope to look after your father and to take him away. So that is all I know of your father and this situation.” “And what of your wife I don’t see her here?” “Oh we aren’t together anymore, but you have met her though.” “Oh really who is she?” “Penelope was my wife.” “Wait what!” “She was wonderful but somehow Gabriel got to her and turned her against us. But that is over with for now.” “So now what do we do?” “Well continue with training and I will need you and Alex to run in town to a lecture that is being given. The lecture is at 3 pm so you have awhile to get ready.” “What is the lecture on?” “How to read people and someone’s life story which I think it be good for you two to hear.” “Well ok then.” I ate breakfast then got ready for our journey in town.
I walked down the hall to the door which we had entered from the day before, “Oh we are not going out that door.” I turned around to see Alex smiling at me, “Oh.” “Here let me lead you to the right door.” We walked back up the hall to the end to find another hallway leading to a single door at the end. Alex twisted the knob and opened the door. Outside was a balcony that looked over the small town that we were in. I looked to the right to see a winding staircase to the road. He led down the stairs and to the building across the street. He opened the door and there was a screen that was down and an overhead projector that was already showing a slide. We sat down at a table in the back of the room and soon after people started to flood into the room. The speaker walked in and started the lecture. The reading people’s faces and character part was fine and I kept interest but as soon as the speaker got to their story I was zoned out. I sat there watching the slides move, then I started to pay more attention to one thing more than the rest. I couldn’t help but happen to gaze over to my left at Alex quite often during this part of the lecture. It was like I couldn’t help to want to talk to him and pass a note like people would back in high school. He sat there paying attention completely to the speaker. It was obvious that I liked him and that those feelings were shared. We both knew the other knew, but it was like we didn’t know what to do about it. I had my left hand the table a mere inches away from his the entire lecture, just hoping that he would take it. But no that would be too easy. The lecture came to an end, and all I could recall was that the person had a couple rough years and then fate brought her (because well she was a girl) to meet her husband. And yeah that was all I could remember as we were leaving. “So what did you think?” “Wha-oh the lecture, I thought it was ok, how about you?” “I liked it actually.” “Well that is good.” We got back to the house and I went to my room to write about the day what I was feeling.

Chapter 5

Ch 5

We came upon what looked like a dead end in alley, but I turned to see a very small door in the corner. Aden tapped rhythmically on the door and then popped out a keyboard, and he typed in a password, just then the door open and so did the wall. A bright light shined as it open and we walked towards, I found it funny because usually people are like “don’t go towards the light” and what was I doing now. “Boss I brought you a little present.” Aden said as he walked towards a large man talking to a shorter man with big rim glasses, then I recognized them both. “Oh yeah and what is that?” he said as he turned around, “Alex?” “Yeah, hey dad.” “What, what are you doing here?” “I believe I am the reason for that.” “Hannah?” “Yeah.” “Where is your dad?” “That is why we are here.” I gave him the note and told him all that I knew.
“Well we need to get to work. Alex and Aden I need you two to help train Hannah, Aden I would like you to go first. Alex we need to talk in private.” “Ok dad.” he walked away with his dad. I turned around to see Aden with a big smirk on his face, “This will be fun.” I rolled my eyes and he gestured me over to a door. He opened the door and walked inside, I followed closely behind and then he closed it. It was pitch black in the room, “Aden where is the light switch?” “I will get the lights in a bit; right now we need to work on your ability to work in the dark, and to see how much fun I can have with it.” he said with a evil sounding laugh. Just then I felt something run past me grabbing at me. “Quit it Aden!” “Stop me and I will.” He laughed and grabbed me again, I could feel his breathe down my neck as he laughed, I swirled around to hit him but only to miss. I felt a force hit my legs and nock me down, I felt something touch my legs and pull me over. I looked up to see a little outline of Aden. I could see most clearly his smirk as he leaned over my body. He pressed his body against mine and I could feel that his face was mere inches away from mine. I really hope he is just kidding around.
Just then I felt his cold lip ring smash into the side of my face (good thing he missed), leaving me totally defenseless, or so he thought. I kneed him right where he did not want to get hit. I got up and made my way to the door as quickly as I could. Just then the door flung open before I could even get to it. A figure reached over and turned on the lights, when the lights went up I could see it was Alex. I looked at me and then at Aden lying on the ground in pain, he looked really pissed at first but then something unexpected happened. He laugh, he just stood there looking at Aden laughing, then came over to me and wrapped his arms around my shoulder still laughing, “Remind me not to mess with you.” He led me down a hall to a door at the end, “Here is your room, it has been a long day and you should get some rest.” “Ok but what if—” “Don’t worry he won’t be able to get past me,” he put hands on my shoulders and looked me in the eyes, “I am right across the hall and I sleep with my door open so.” “Ok, thanks.” “You’re welcome Hannah.” “I mean for everything, I could never do this without you.” He blushed and kissed my forehead, “Goodnight Hannah.” “Night.” I turned and opened the door then turned on the light and then went to bed leaving my door open.

Ch 4

Chapter 4

Alex opened up the laptop and opened up a map, “Ok so here is where the airport is, and my dad’s safe house somewhere around here.’ he pointed to a spot on the screen, “What do you mean by somewhere? Don’t you know where your dad’s safe house is?” “Yes and no, you see it wouldn’t be a safe house if everyone knew where it was. He has multiple ones and thing we need to figure out which one he is at right now.” “Alright and how do we do that?” “Easy, he doesn’t go to these two here in spring,” he pointed to a certain area, “and these are right next to each other so we can check both.” I nodded and looked to the map. “So what are we suppose to do when we find your dad?” “Not sure, I guess give him the notes and explain the situation to him.” ‘Sounds like a plan.”
“If you guys don’t mind I can tell you where your father is. Oh and sorry for eavesdropping… again.” “Wait you can?” Alex said glaring at Aden, “Yeah if I have figured this out enough your Michael’s son and um I am not quite sure who you are related to…” “I am Hannah Conner, Simon’s daughter.” “Wow so you’re the great Simon Conner daughter, I had only heard stories of your dad and mom, just not a lot about you.” “So what is your story?” Alex said looking kind of worried, “Me well I am Gabriel’s son.” “Gabriel?” “The tall skinny one in the photo.” Alex said referring back to the day before, “Wait you’re his son?” “Yeah, and please don’t hold me to my father’s action. You know the whole ego manic thing with trying to over throw your father…” “Ok.” “Wait, do you not know what your fathers’ did?” I looked over to Alex who was almost just as clueless as I was, “Our fathers’ were thieves, and they held grand thefts. Legend has it there is even a vault holding it all, though my dad didn’t know where. Apparently Hannah here her father is the only one who knows where it is and he is the only one with the key. So I guess you could say we are all connected to each other’s past.” “Yeah I guess so.” “Now back to you leading us to my dad’s safe house.” “Well that is simple, I kind of work with your dad, almost like an apprentice.” “Apprentice, how so?” “I help keep things quiet, clean up the houses, run errands; which is was what I was doing in the US.” “What business does my father have in the US?” “According to him there was a spy watching over Hannah’s family, but when I got there everyone was gone.” “Wait there was a spy watching over us?” “According to Alex’s dad yes, do you recognize this woman?” he handed me a photo.
“Yes, yes I do. That is Penelope, she was our maid.” “Right under your father’s nose she was in communication with someone the entire time, we just don’t know who.” “You would think my father would have suspected something.” “I think he started to, I doubt your father being who he is would look over that.” Alex said putting hand on my shoulder and smile at me, then the seatbelt sign went on and the plane shortly landed after that. Then we made our way to the safe house.

Chapter 3 of A Secret Past

I woke to see Alex fiddling around with the laptop. I looked out the window to see what was before the ocean now to be a wide stretch of green lush grass. I looked over to Alex, “Wow it is so beautiful!” I looked back to the window, “Yes yo—it is very beautiful.” I looked back over at him but he was already looking the other way. “How much longer do you think it will be until we get there?” “Two more hours.” A voice from the row in front of us said. I looked up to see a guy leaning over his seat, he had black face eating hair, snake bites piercing, ice blue eyes and his ears were gauged. “Sorry I didn’t mean to seem like I was eavesdropping it’s just I am up here alone and it has been a very long ride.” “Oh it is ok, I totally understand.” “The name is Aden.” “Hannah, and this Alex.” I gestured over to Alex and he nodded. “So where are the two of you off to, if you don’t mind me asking?” “Oh just to visit his dad.” “Oh I see, asking for his blessing?” he pointed down to my ring, “Oh ha-ha, no this is my promise ring, and we are just friends.” “Oh that is good.” “It is, why?” “Well a pretty thing like you being engaged so young well it just isn’t right, well unless it was me you were engaged to.” He said with a smirk and winked at me, of course being me I blushed. I looked over to see Alex glaring at Aden, “So Hannah how old are you?” “Me? Oh I am seventeen, you?” “I just turn nineteen last week. How about you?” he looked over to Alex, “Twenty- one” “Wow your old, so you two are just friends right?” I looked over at Alex for an answer but he wasn’t a lot of help, “Yeah we’re just friends.” “Sweet deal, well this seat next to me is empty if you want to sit with me.” “No thanks, I need to talk to Alex about some things.” “Ok well if you change your mind I am up here.” I smiled then he turned and sat back down.
I turned to Alex, “Well people in Italy sure are friendly.” I chuckled, “A little too friendly for my taste,” he said still glaring at the back of Aden’s head, “don’t you think it was strange how he wanted to know all about us and where we were going?” he leaned in to my ear, “Hannah you have to remember that we are running from the people who took your father and anyone here could be a spy.” I pulled away, “Yeah even you.” “Why would I be a spy, your father told me in his note to take care of you and get you to see my dad?” “Yeah well haven’t you heard of a double agent?” I got up from my seat and started to walk pass him, “Where are you going?” “To go sit with Aden.” He tried to block me but I pushed past him and turned to sit next to Aden. “So I see you got bored with your little friend. Why don’t you see how much fun you can have with a real man.” he smirked and winked at me. Wow isn’t he full of himself, in my mind Alex is more of a man than he is. “Look, I am just here to talk.” “You say that now, but you will warm up to me in no time, you’ll see.” “Right… So do you live in Italy?” “Yeah, you?” “No, I am from the states.” “I should have known, because there is no way I would have missed a pretty face like yours before.” I laughed, “Thanks, well where I am from not many guys would say that.” “No?” “No. I wasn’t considered pretty at my old school.” “Well I think you are more than pretty, I think you are beautiful, and so does your friend back there.” “Wait, what?” “You should have heard what he was saying to you as you were sleeping. That was why I thought you two were engaged because of the way he was talking to you.” “Really? Wow and I was so mean to him just now.” “I don’t want to lose you but, I think you should go talk to him.” I smiled and walked back to my seat to find Alex wasn’t there. I sat down and looked at the seat next to me; I looked to the window and stared out it until I felt a shift in the seat next to me. I looked next to me to see Alex sitting next to me, “Where did you go?” “I had to go, not like you would care where I was though. So what did you get tired of Aden?” “Look I do care and no about Aden. I just found out why you were so annoyed with Aden besides the fact you didn’t trust him.” “Oh?” “Yeah, he told me, about what happened when I was asleep last night, about what you said.” He looked down at his hands, “Wow he really is nosey.” “There is nothing to be embarrassed about it; I think it is sweet.” his head shot up and looked at me “Really? You really think I am sweet?” “Yeah, I really do.” He smiled and got out the laptop, “Well there are some things we need to talk about before we get off this plane.”

Ch 2

I looked out the window, “I hate flying…” I muttered under my breathe, “Me too.” Alex leaned in as he said it then reached over me and pulled down the shade. “So how long is this flight?” he laughed “Long, very long.” I laughed and pulled out my bag and pulled out the folder my dad had left me. Inside there were old photos, forms, profiles, emails, and phone numbers. I looked at the photos and I recognized my dad but he was with three other guys I have never seen before, one was short with big rim glasses, one was really tall and big he was also where a full face mask that only didn’t cover his mouth, and the last one was a wicked looking guy who was tall and skinny; my dad stood between the big one and the little one, he was a medium height wearing a mask that covered his eyes and he held some sort of weird looking cane, I touched the necklace my dad had given me and the symbol looked like the cane. Alex looked over to the photo and pointed at the big one, “That is my dad.” “Really?” “Yeah, and that little guy his name is, Ben he was the brains. My dad was the muscle I guess, your dad was the leader he could sneak around with out a sound or so I have heard from the stories.” “Wow, what about him?” I pointed at the tall skinny one, “Him well all I heard about him was he was like your dad, but not as good and that he tried to take over.” “Oh, so what did our dads do?” “I am not sure, my dad never really told me.” I looked back down at the photo and went on to the next and was shocked with what I saw. There was a photo of my mom, she was holding a gun and standing on a roof; she was wearing tight fitting jeans and cropped shirt that was under a jacket, her curly brown hair was flowing in the wind. “What is wrong?” “Huh?” he ran his finger up my face to catch a tear “Oh sorry… it is just I really miss my mom.” “I know how you feel, my mom died during my birth.” He took the photos and pulled up a photo that had his dad and a lady in a wedding dress holding hands and laughing. “She was pretty.” “Thanks.” We looked into each others eyes something felt so strange I couldn’t place my finger on it. He turned his head, “Well we should try to get some sleep.” “Yeah, we should.” I turned my head and opened the shade and stared out into the world and slowly drifted off into sleep.

A Secret Past Ch1

Ok so I have been writing again SHOCKER, and so here is what I got so far

Ch 1

Things haven’t been the same since, well since my mom died about four years ago, I was thirteen. My mom was great her name was Carmen, she was an inspector and she had so many great adventures, she even met my dad on one of her adventures. Her adventures came to an end when she was shot in a drive by. I still live with my dad, don’t get me wrong I love my dad but well he did lack certain knowledge when I came to girl stuff. Lucky we have Penelope, our maid and my closest friend, she has helped me through my awkward years and I owe so much to her. We live in a medium sized apartment in Nashville, Tennessee; I don’t know too many people here because we just moved here last month. I haven’t even met my neighbors yet. I guess I should describe myself a little, well I am seventeen, I have long brown hair that goes down to my waist, I have evergreen eyes, I am about five foot ten, and my name is Hannah.
I walked around the apartment in search for my laptop that I still haven’t found since we moved in. “Dad have you seen the laptop yet,” no answer “Dad?” still no answer “Penelope have you seen my dad?” “No ma’am, not since yesterday.” “Ok thanks.” I looked inside his room and he wasn’t there, but there was pieces of paper lead to a chest by his bed. I went over to the chest and there was a note behind it.
Hannah,
There is something I should have told you a long time ago, but I cannot tell you much. All I can tell you is that I love you and things are not as they seem. We moved here for a reason and that reason was to get way from trouble but it seems that it has found me once again. In this note I have left you a key, this key will open this chest. Inside you will find everything you need. I need to you to get away, far away. You need to pack and tell Penelope that you need to visit your uncle and you will be home soon. After you walk out the door you will be on the run and you will need help. Next door there is the son of a good friend of mine; his son’s name is Alex. Give him the note you find inside the chest and he will understand. I am sorry you must be involved in my mess.

Love you always,
Dad
I opened the chest to find a folder, my laptop, a note, CDs, a cell phone, a necklace with a weird symbol on it, and disks. I grabbed my old messenger bag from his closet and stuffed it all inside it. I went to my room and started to pack a bag with all I would be able to carry. I looked down the hall to see that Penelope had already gone to the store. I wrote her a note telling her of leaving to visit my uncle and that I did not know when I would be back. I walked out the door and walked down the hall to Alex’s door and knocked on it.
“Hello? Alex?” “Yeah, one minute!” just then the door opened, “can I help you?” “Yeah, I live next door and my father told me to talk to you.” “Ok?” “Can I come in?” “Sure why not.” He gestured me in, “It is a nice place you got here.” “Oh thanks.” I sat down at the table in his kitchen and he sat across from me. “So what brings you here?” “This,” I handed him the note “my father told me to give this to you and that you would know what to do.” He read the note and his eyes grew wider as he went on. “My father has told me this might happen someday.” “What? That what might happen?” “Your father was taken by some people him and my father used to work with. I have been trying for this for years but I never knew that you would be involved in this or that you even existed.” “So what exactly are you talking about?” “I can’t tell you too much for right now, mainly because I don’t know a lot but I will tell you some things in the cab.” “Cab?” “Yes, we need to get out of here as soon as we can.” He grabbed some things and led me out to the street and signaled for a cab. A cab pulled up and we got in. “So what do you know Alex?” “Well your father and mine did some things with a group of people back when he was younger, and now they have caught up with him now. My dad didn’t tell me much just that if some thing were ever to happen to your dad that I would have to go meet up with my father in Italy at his safe house. He had trained me with every thing he knows.” “So what do we do now?” “I have had a plane ticket on reserved but I can get another one on the way there.” He got on the phone and started to negotiate tickets, as I watched him I finally had time to observe him. He had shaggy brown hair, blue eyes, and he was a little scruffy. He got off the phone and smiled, “So tell me about you after all we are going to spending quite a bit of time together.” I laughed, “Well I am seventeen, and I just moved here not too long ago, I was hoping to go to college for art but right now I am not sure about anything right now. I really don’t know what else to say since you know so much about my family already. So why don’t you tell me about you?” “Ok, well I am twenty-one, I am a art major, I live on my own as you saw, and yeah I guess we find out more as we go along.” He smiled at me as we pulled up to the airport. “Oh wait, I don’t have a passport!” he chuckled, “No problem, let me see your laptop.” I pulled the laptop out and handed it to him. “There should be a program on here to help us with that, here it is! Smile!” I laughed and did as he said and next thing I knew I had a passport. I stepped out of the cab and he paid for it. He took my hand to show me the way to where our tickets were being held. We went through all of airport security and then to our flight and took our seats.

Epilogue

“Trinity leave your brother alone and Steven stop whacking your sister with your wings!” I stared at the two most beautiful children I have seen. They ran up and down the beach Trinity shifting into the form of her brother and Steven flying around hitting her. I felt arms wrap around me I looked up into Anthony face, “Do you think they will ever get along?” he laughed and nodded, “They will soon enough.” “I hope your right.” I looked back out to beach Trinity was now fifteen her long waving brown hair pasted her ribs and her eyes sparkled with a greenish blue like her father. Ken he had just turned eleven and was already taller than his sister and he was the skinniest thing I ever say, he had both of our hair and my eyes. I called to them to come back to the house and they ran to me and hugged me. We all walked back to the beach house Anthony had built with in our second year of marriage it seemed like it was just yesterday we got married though it was seventeen years ago. I walked into the house and I smelled apple pie and of course it was because Anthony, he had taken to cooking like a moth to a flame. We sat down to have the pie and cross hanging from the wall behind Anthony was so beautiful surprisingly it was a wedding gift from Matt. I missed town and its people but this was our home and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I have a wonderful husband and two amazing kids and we were a family. Surely we are different from any other family but a family just the same.

Ok so that is the end... remember this is just the first draft

Ch 9

I looked to the noise and there walked out of the darkness Anthony. I ran to him and threw my arms around him as I did he winced in pain. I looked to see a huge gash on his left wing. “What happened here?” “When you fell you blacked out and William saw that and tried to go after you. I jump in front of the attack and that is how I got this cut. We fought for hours and then I finally remembered the sun.” “The sun?” “You know how it is shaded down him under the trees?” “Yes.” “Well it isn’t above them, so I grabbed him and flew him up beyond the trees and then I threw him high into the sky and then he burst into flames.” “So it is over?” “I am not sure…I do not know if there are more or if more will come to this town. I still think the best thing for us is to get out and go over the mountain.” “Can you still fly?” “Yes but not as fast or as long for now. We can fly to the top were the river starts and set up came till morning.” “Ok let’s go.” He swooped me up and flew straight up to the sky. He flew right to the top and then he started to bob up and down. “You better land.” He nodded and landed on the other side of the river. He set me down and I pulled out a blanket from my backpack for him to lie down on. I kneeled down beside him and hummed the same melody he had hummed to me. He slowly drifted to sleep. I lay beside him and stared into the night sky and hoped the worst was over. I woke the next morning and sat up and looked all around me. I looked next to me and Anthony was still a sleep. I got up and looked around, it was so beautiful I looked out past the trees and there stood Canada. We had made it past the river and now our lives could go on. I moan from behind me I turned to see Anthony trying to sit up. I ran to his side and helped him slowly sit up. I looked at his wing and the cut had closed up over night. He placed his hand on my face, “We made it and now I can I ask you some thing?” “Of course, anything.” “Will you marry me?” I looked into his eyes they were so pure and honest and a light beamed through them. “Of course I will.” I was a little afraid to hug him but he gave me a look saying I couldn’t break him. He pulled me in and wrapped his arms around me. He kissed me forehead and had me lean against him. He got up carrying me with him and then shot right into the sky and went down to the town at the bottom of the mountain

Ch 8

We got our stuff together and I ran down to the front desk to leave my notice. I went back up stairs and waited till the bar hours were near. I went back down and walked out the front door. I looked to the bar to see if William was there and he was there getting punching in his card. I looked to the forest and calmly walked towards it. I was half way there then I heard a crash, I looked behind me and a table was lying outside the bar and glass was everywhere. People gathered around it and I made a run for the forest then I heard sirens all over the town. I made it to the tree line and looked back for one last time. Down by the bar there was police dragging out Matt and William except I could see the William was grinning. Just then he threw the police officer that was holding him off of him and then open is mouth and screeched a horrible sound. I looked above me to see Anthony flying above and he swooped down and grabbed me. He flew as fast as he could to the edge of the forest to the foot of the mountain. He flew down and set me down, “I need to rest for a moment.” “But what about William won’t he come after us after all he saw me, I could tell.” “It will only be for a moment.” Just then a big rustle of the leaves came and then there stood William with blood on his lips. “I always knew you weren’t what you seemed Anthony and to think you pick to steal a vampire’s girl, not wise not wise at all.” “I am not your girl, and I was never truly yours to begin with. And Keith is not the only one who is not what they seem to be—“ “Oh save your breath I know what you are,” my heart skipped a beat “I knew since the first time you changed here in this town.” “Why didn’t you ever say anything?” “Oh like you would tell me. Though I am sure you told Anthony already after all you love him and you never loved me because like you said you were never truly mine.” “If you knew that I didn’t love you then why did you even try to keep going out with me?” “Because you’re the first inhuman girl I have ever met and I wanted to see what I could do with you, you were kind of like a new toy.” “You Pig!” “Oh like you haven’t tried anything with Anthony your angel.” “Well for information no I haven’t.” “Hmm that is very interesting and why is that?” “Wouldn’t you like to know!” I backed up and stood next to Anthony. “Well don’t think your leaving here in one piece unless Hayden you come back with me.” “Never.” “Ok have it your way.” Just then William mouth opened and his fangs grew, Anthony pushed me down and stood in front of me. As I fell to the ground I hit my head on a rock and then it went black…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~two hours later~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up and stare blankly in the sky. What had happened and where was I? I sat up slowly and saw I was exactly where I had fallen. I looked around to see blood and feathers everywhere. Anthony! Where was Anthony and where was William? I stood up and circled all around. There was no one to be seen. I heard a rustle of the bushes.

Ch 7

Ch 7

I woke to a loud bang on the front door and I sat straight up. I looked around and saw that Anthony was nowhere to be found. I walked to the living room and there was a note on the table,

Hayden,
I didn’t want wake I went back to my place to start packing. I will be back as soon as the coast is clear. Love you.

Anthony

I put the note in my room and hid it in my dresser. There was another bang on the door. I walked calmly up to the door, “Who is it?” “Who else would it be? It’s me William.” Crap, “One minute.” I put some better clothes on and then opened the door. “Finally what took you?” “Um I was getting changed. What is your problem?” “Problem? I don’t have a problem.” “Yeah you do! Listen it is best you not come in ok I want to tell you something.” “What?” he stared into my eyes with so much anger “I think it would be best if we take a break from each other, you know see other people?” “What!” “I am sorry but you have changed too much since I started going out with you and I don’t like it at all. I think it is best we break up.” He looked at me and he got a little smirk on his face and grabbed my face and made me look into his eyes. “I don’t think you want to break up with me Hayden. I think you should keep going out with me, you have no idea what I am capable of.” Oh yeah right I know exactly what you are, I just looked him in the eye and took his hand from my face and pulled it down and backed away a little. “Goodbye William.” As I closed the door and saw that he was shocked for some reason as if he really thought I was going to change my mind. I closed it and locked the door though I am not sure if they could hold him back. I went to my room and looked out the window. I saw William walk into the bar and sit down at the counter. I opened the window so some air could get in and walked into the kitchen to make some lunch.
I put some water on the stove and then heard a loud thud from the bedroom. Afraid of it being William a grabbed a knife and walked to my room. I opened the door and saw Anthony standing there wings spread out with bags of stuff in his hands. “What is the knife for?” “What? Oh I thought you were someone else.” “Oh I see you thought a knife could kill a vampire?” “Hey it couldn’t hurt.” He just laughed and put his stuff down and opened his arms wide waiting for me to come and greet him. I put the knife down on the dresser and ran over and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Next time I don’t care if you sleep until noon I will not ever leave you till you wake up.” I looked up to and him and said, “That’s sounds like a plan.” And I kissed him; he bent he head to deepen the kiss. We held each other for a couple of moments and then we headed to the living room. He sat down on the couch and I finished the lunch I was making. I offered him some and he gladly took a whole plate’s worth of pasta.
After that he sat back on the couch and I was walking towards to the window when he took his wing and wrapped it around me and pulled me towards him. He pulled me right on top of him and ran him fingers threw my hair and hummed that melody he had hummed earlier. I asked him what is was and he told me it was the song playing on the radio the day he first saw me “All Around Me” by Flyleaf. He never forgot that day he said when he saw me walking down the road I looked like something out of a fairytale and when he caught me looking at him and William he never felt happier. I looked up to his face and kissed him when the kiss broke he was blushing. “I never thought something like this could happen to me, finding someone like you someone different like me. I love you Hayden so much and I will never leave you.” “I love you too and I will hold you to that promise.” I laughed and rested my head on his chest. “Sounds like a plan. Hayden what do you think we should do, you know about living here?” I sat up and asked, “What do you mean?” then he sat up “Well I am suppose to be dead and William is not going to give up that easily.” “So are you saying we should run?” “Well not run just go somewhere we can live freely and I can walk around without people thinking I am a ghost.” “I don’t know…I mean I want to leave to but don’t you think that William will just track me down?” “He could I guess unless we cross running water vampires aren’t suppose to be able to do that.” “Sounds like a plan but where would we go? Where is there running water here?” “There is a river over the mountains, we could go there.” “Ok, but how? Do we just drop everything and skip town?” “Well we could pack what we could and leave a notice at the front desk.” “Ok but how are we going to leave? Someone could see you or better yet William could see you.” “Well I could leave during his bar hours and you could leave anytime.” “Ok when do we leave?” “Tonight.”
