Welcome to Bayville, your final destination

Chapter five

It was nothing but a fifteen minute drive. We were in the woods basically, there are trees all over except for the huge clearing. The clearing gave the feeling of safe; as though Mother Nature gave this land a peace like no other. As if a stamp on this land saying; all whom come must enter with peace, on the left was a restaurant called the Rave, it was an outside bar, to the right is the biggest hot spring i ever seen, in between was tables and picnic areas, the scenery was beautiful. You could see the tips of the trees, reassuring me that I am indeed on a vacation. Green poured through the scenery flooding my nose with the scent of pine cones and sweet maple."can i get three margaritas and one life changing slurpee please" i ordered all the girls a drink and waited for them, Jamie came to me soken wet, "come on your missing the fun, we're about to play last one standing" the drinks came and i handed her two, "No drinking in the springs" the man said as i took the drink, he was so busy with the other customers that he didn't even see us bring them in. "These aren't allowed near here" Riley said and i couldn't help smirk "What the boss won't know won't hurt em" i said handing out the drinks. "And you think alcohol is a good idea?" now he is the one smirking. "I think it's a wonderful idea" i said unzipping the jacket, there's a cold breeze but that will go away in time. i took the pants off as well sipping on my drink, "model body does you just right" i choke on my dream at Mr. scary's comment. I quickly got in so everyone could stop eyeing my body which almost everyone did, all but ingrid. "Ingrid honey your eyes" she looked up at me with bright red cheeks. "Alright so how do you play last one standing" i ask and they begin to show me, seems easy enough, whomever falls off the shoulders of your partner you lose. In order to be fair (says jessie) the girls and boys draw a stick, whomever got the same length partners up, odd one out is the referee. As we all began to pick sticks i see someone familiar out the corner of my eye. i didn't get to pay any attention to it as the one i picked was no one other than Mr. Scary. Jessie got Timothy, Ingrid got Riley and frey had to be the referee. "Whered your sister go" Jessie asked Riley and he just shrugged his shoulders. She must be getting more drinks. Although i don't really think getting overly drunk inside a pool of water isn't a good idea it sure is fun. We began the game and the first one out was ingrid, Jessie had pushed her off his shoulders almost immediately, looking into her eyes you could see the guilt of being too harsh at the beginning. Ingrid gave her a reassuring smile. "It's alright, i have a nice strong arm to catch me, and might i say his hands to incredibly soft, warm.." she continued to tease Jessie causing her to get red in the cheeks, i took this chance to win, i push her but she anticipated my attack and held onto my arms giving her the balance she needed. "So it begins" she said as she began to lean her weight on me. As long as she is on me i won't fall without her, we began laughing non-stop.

"HER... YOU LEFT ME FOR THIS?" We heard Jamie's voice, she didn't seem to happy, this gave jessie the perfect opportunity to make me fall, thankfully tall dark and scary wrapped his arms around my waist to catch my fall. I didn't give him the thanks he deserved i was to busy trying to find Jamie. I found her by the bar, she was with some guy... i look to see who she was talking about and my eyes widens "lex?" i whisper and ran towards the yelling. "Jamie calm down you know how this works, once i found my mate my love for you is no longer there. i love you, you are in my heart but you no longer have it, it belongs to another." the young man says, he says it as if she should understand why she is getting dumped, he sound downright dumb. "Lex what the hell?" i ask as i got up on her, "Me? I didn't do anything, I am hanging out with my... boyfriend and this crazy chick comes up to us yelling." she says to me with a disappointed look on her face, "Watch who you're calling crazy you washed out mutt" Jamie says aggressively walking towards Lex. "Jamie, honey calm down lets talk this over like the ladies we are. Remember, Ladies do not start fights but we can finish them, lets talk this over with a drink." I said and she stopped in her tracks and stared at me. "Where did you learn that saying from" i didn't know what to tell her, It was a old person, i barely remember her. My father use to bring her over a lot when i was little. Every time i would get into it with my brother, She basically shove those words down my throat, she might have been tough but we loved her, she was kind, out spoken, beautiful, she wouldn't let anyone ruin her day, all of a sudden she stopped coming around, "you know her?" lex says not really happy with whom i choose to spend my time with. "Well if you must know, after you declined my offer, i made some friends, maybe even a guy but it was cut short with... this" At this point the mood is over and i just want to go home.

I began to get a migraine i haven't felt since middle school. My dad gave me an elixir but thinking back on it, i should have the recipe in one of the boxes at my house. "Im going home" i say as my migraine began to worsen. As i try to get away from the noise lex grabs my wrist stopping me. "How can you take those peoples side, i have known you " i stopped her from talking, "Get Off" i tried to stay calm but my migraine kept worsening, the words came out different from normal, as if another voice came out as while i spoke. Her eyes widen then look down. "Yes i am sorry" her voice quite as she spoke. "Can you take me home? i need somewhere quiet and i feel like they are ALL going back to the house i am staying in." she nods and walks me to her car. "I'm sorry for-" i raised my hand silencing her from anymore apologies, it wasnt her fault the douche bag did what he did but my head is just starting to clear up. That little out burst with Lex really helped. Thinking back to middle school, it would always helped, i use to get into a lot of trouble. That was until the elixir, it eased my mind along with the pain. It cleared my mind allowing me to think instead of reacting irrationally.

The ride was silent but she drove me to my home I can yet live in, I open my boxes searching for my journal, I must have been looking for a while I didn't even hear lex leave. I must have dosed off at one point, the next thing I remember I'm in darkness.

The air was thick, my senses were dull, nothing made sense on why I feel this way. I try and try to open my eyes but I they refuse to open. I begin to panic, my heart increased as well as my breathe, fast and short "who's there" I don't know if the word's actually left my mouth. The presence I feel is dark and alluring.

I'm brought out of my nightmare by the touch of big warm hand, although I am still asleep which I cannot wake up to apparently. I might not know whom has me in their arms I know I'm safe, whomever this is, I can sleep here forever.

Narrator POV

Around two A.M. the gang had finally left, everyone was confused why she had left but no one said anything, Riley on the other hand had a problem that no one knew how to fix, he couldn't explain it himself. His body has been burning with irritation since she left. Riley notice how she began to look ill right before she left. He was driving himself mad just waiting for her to return just so he could ignore her, he doesn't understand why, but he has a feeling that girl means troubled and he has no idea why his grandfather insisted on the arrangement. As another hour went by he began to put on his shoes. It was warm outside, little to no wind so he know it would be okay leaving in just is long Johns. When he pulled up to the house she owns he hesitates before exiting the vehicle. The door was unlocked so he let himself in quietly hoping to scare her a little, he doesn't no why nor questioned why he liked making her squirm. He walks through the house until he find her, asleep in a fetal position with a book in her hand. The book seems old, a lot of rips and smudged lettering. Riley grabbed both her and the book and carried her to his car. Riley didn't rush home like most would think, he took his time and went under speed limit, it was quiet and for now his head was clear. "Mmm" Alyssa spoke still asleep, Riley looked over to notice her stretching, Alyssa subconsciously stretched out so that her lower half is on his lap, noticing the difficulty in driving he switch the car on auto drive and turned on the lounge mode for the seats, doing so, she push up against him causing both of the to moan softly. Both eyes lock onto each other captivating one another. "Do not move" Riley said says with a deep lustful husky voice.
