Suddenly a whooshing sound whipped through the trees behind us. We all started doing circles around ourselves to see if we could find the source but it was silent. Then again from the other direction. "I told you the witches would come find you." Jennifer laughed. Then the whooshing again. When I turned around this time though I was attacked. Christina it is our destiny to be together my love, come find me. The voice was ringing through my head- please you need to come to me, I am your safety and your only chance. "CHRISTINA, Christina wake up." I felt like an earth quake hit my body until I seen that I was in Eric's arms being shook around. "Ok, ok I hear you what happened?" I looked up in confusion. "It was Jennifer's idea of a joke, she had one of the guys from school dress in a sheet and come running at us to scare us, only instead the meat head ran you right over. Then they all took off."
I shook my head "if I catch up to that girl she is in for a world of pain." "Chris, who were you talking about trying to find, you were only out for about 2 minutes and you were yelling asking where I find you." "Honestly Eric, I don't even know right now I think I would just like to get home and go to bed." Eric helped me up and dusted me off a bit. The walk back to the car was awkward because now all that I could think of was this voice always calling for me.
Back at the house the lights were out so I knew it would be smart for me to go in the house quiet. "Thanks for the date Eric, it was great up until the meat heads found us" we laughed in sync and then he leaned for the kiss. Oh no a kiss I thought to myself. So what do I do, I sneeze. "Oh Eric I'm so sorry, here let's try that again." "No, no that's ok Chris you just go get some rest." I laughed to myself knowing how stupid I must have seemed. So I hugged him then headed inside to bed.
I was completely covered in grass smudges, grass, twigs and leafs so I hit the shower first. I must have been in the shower for a long period of time that I didn't even know had elapsed because when I stepped out to enter my room I was freezing. But I was sadly mistaken, there was my window sitting wide open again. I slammed it shut, jumped into bed and pulled my pillow over my face.
"Christina" a voice hummed my name. But the impossible thing was that I wasn't sleeping, so either I was going crazy or someone was in the room with me. I raised the pillow off my head just slightly and glanced around the room. There was no one there but my window was yet again wide open. Without me even hearing it get open. When I got up and glanced out the window the boy, the one from my dreams was standing right there in the entrance of the path. "Hey, You what are you doing in my backyard. And why have you been following me?" The freak just stood there staring at me. I waved and jumped and nothing he still just stood there staring. It was a gutsy choice to make but I decided to throw an eraser that was sitting on my desk at him. And to who's surprise he didn't even flinch. "Alright then, creep you asked for it I'm coming out there and you're not going to like this." There were a pair of track pants lying on my float or, I don't think they were exactly clean but it was my quickest resort. Then grabbed a sweater and ran down the stairs.
In front of me was a tall pot type container holding umbrellas and grabbed one. "Ok, here I come" I shouted rounding the corner to the back of my house. "What do you want freak, if you don't leave I'm going to call the police." "Devon is the name, buttercup. The cops wouldn't make a difference to me, besides by the time you turn to go to the house I will have caught you." Pondering this in my head, I figured he was probably right but I of course had to take a stab at it. I smiled to give the perception of compliment and then tossed the umbrella at him and ran as fast as I could. But just as soon as I spun around to look for this Devon guy he was gone. "I told you I would stop you." He snorted as I bounced back off of his body to the ground. He stood right there in front of me smirking. "Ok I don't have much money but I'm sure I can get you some." Great there it was the classical about to die offer.
"I don't want your money; I just want to get to know you." "Well you know, stalking, and peeping are always a way to win over a girls attention. Or perhaps just go beyond over too far!" "Let me help you up". "Thanks but I can help myself." Think Chris, you have to get yourself out of this I couldn't help but stare, he did not move or even motion he just stared back at me into my eyes. Starting to get lost in a daze I snapped myself out of it and screamed, my sound was cut short and I don't know how. I didn't feel anything and couldn't see anything. It was as if everything was blank, black, nothing to be seen. Nothing to be heard. Then came a sensation of warmth through and around my body, I could hear his voice again "relax I'm not going to hurt you, I am going to help you. Our people knew you were coming for a while now your special Christina and you don't even know it. Let me help you and guide you."
