Shadow Guy

Chapter Fifteen

"J.T you know why we're doing this but we have too," John said giving him a critical stare.

"Yeah but....we could let her live, let Brie talk to her and say she's leaving for good. It's better than killing a human, that is not our way and you know it!" Shane said taking his hand away.

"Yes, but it's too much of a risk. We will finish what we intended to do." John turned to walk into the house and James looked at me with pleading eyes. "Wait! What if we find another way?" John stopped and looked back at Shane,

"Like what?"

"Change her." I looked at Shane and almost hit him across the face.

"No! You...you can just let her live! She won't tell anyone I swear." I begged.

"It is done," John said looking at Shane and ignoring me. They turned and walked to the house.

"Noooo!" I screamed trying to run but Shane caught me and held me by my waist as I tried to get free. Tears streamed down again and he pulled me into his chest so he could speed back to the house.

The minute my feet hit the ground I swung round and banged my arms against his chest, "You! How could you!?!" I let go and ran up to my room but before I could reach it he appeared at the top of the stairs taking hold of both my shoulders.

"Look they can't change her, she's been unconscious for longer than ten minutes and they can't kill her, it's against one of our laws. They'll find another way . . .they just don't want you to know." I looked up to him and shoved him out the way, "What are you doing! If it wasn't for me she'd be dead by now!" he screamed walking behind me.

I stopped at the door and turned to face him, "And why did you, Shane!? Huh? Why did you stop them?" he just looked at me.

I knew the answer, because of his sister. He speeded in front of me and I was pinned to my bedroom door with his hands on either side of me. His face was inches from mine but not in the 'I wanna kiss you'' more like the 'I'm pissed and feel like getting in your face' way.

"Don't! You! Ever! Bring! My! Sister! Up! Again!" he spat out each word with venom and separately. He had every right I know that. He pushed forwards before turning away and slamming his bedroom door. Way to go Brie!

Nice way to slater the only guy that helped your sister! I banged my head back on the door and sighed whilst placing my head in my hands. I slid down and brought my knees up to my chest resting my forehead against my knees. Why do I always get on the wrong side of people or....things?

I stayed like that for a few more minutes before getting up and walking to Shane's bedroom. I knocked first and there was no answer, I knocked again and finally, he answered, "Get lost," not exactly the answer I was hoping for but hey what did I expect?

I pushed the door open all the way and closed it. Shane was on the bed on his side, eyes wide open and I think I saw tears in them. I took one step before coming to a halt, "Shane...." I didn't finish. Instead, I crawled onto the bed and placed my hand on his arm.

"I'm sorry," I said placing my head on his shoulder. His back was to me so I couldn't tell his emotion...or what he was thinking in a way. I felt there was no way I'd get him to forgive me so I pulled my hand away but he caught it before I fully could. I rested my head back on his shoulder and he placed my hand back on his arm. We stayed like that for a while longer before he turned to face me.

"Are we ok now?" I asked looking him straight in the eyes.

"What do you think?" he said with that cheeky hint to his voice. I couldn't help but laugh and then that's where reality came back and hit me.

"I should go, this looks really wrong," I said getting to my knees.

"Yeah but it depends what you mean by it," with that statement I just looked at him.

"I mean this like a normal friend," He gave me that really annoying grin and I couldn't help but say something, "Yep we're ok," I was turning when he caught my hand in his and I stopped still on my knees.

I turned to look at him and he looked just as surprised as me. He was looking down at our hands but I couldn't shift my gaze away from his lips. "Stay, just for a little bit longer?"

OH MY GOD! Who in their right minds could resist that voice?

I sighed and lay back down on my back but he still wouldn't let go of my hand, "What?" I asked still looking up at the ceiling.

"Nothing," he let go and lay back looking up at the ceiling too.

"Thanks....again.....for coming," I said turning to him.

"No prob. Anytime," I was about to say something when the door downstairs flew open and a angry John came stomping in screaming Shane's name. Shane was out the bedroom in seconds and I ran downstairs.

"f**k you J.T!" John said trying to get free of James's grip.

"She didn't need to die!" Shane screamed back. I just looked from the top of the stairs not knowing what to do.

"You know she did! It was the only way and now what the hell are we going to do! Huh? J.T? You stalled until the time passed where we couldn't touch her!" So much for me not knowing. Ok John was angrier than I've ever seen him since the time I've known him.

"So what you'd rather break the vampire laws? There are other ways John!"

"There wasn't another way for your family was there?!" I looked straight at John. I knew what would happen if Shane had the chance to get to John....one of them would die. Without knowing it I speeded and pushed Shane back just in time before he could get to John.

I turned around and I didn't even know I had my fangs out, "Back off! I swear if you're scared my sister is gonna stop me from becoming queen your wrong! Cause I can easily stop all of this with a simple walk around the town at night!"

John just looked at me and I saw a twinge of fear in his eyes. I turned around to Shane and extended my hand. He took it and said thank you with his eyes. "Right. Now my sister lives if I find out that any of you or anyone hired by you touches my sister I will.......Do something!" I really couldn't think of anything.

John took a deep breath and apologized to Shane. Matt had gone out so I didn't have a one to one with him. I already did the whole fighting thing and I really don't think I'm in the mood for hunting. I walked upstairs leaving Shane and John talking downstairs.

Wow, I speeded again! Yay! But I've kinda noticed I kinda only use my powers when he's around or when.....my thoughts were cut short when I saw James sitting on the corner of my bed. His hands entwined together and his head bowed low.

"What do you want James?" he looked up and got to his feet,

"I'm really sorry, but I had....." I cut him off not wanting to hear him out,

"I'm not in the mood for this," I said turning to leave, but before I could my bedroom door shut and he was spinning me around.

"Why don't you understand?" I laughed and shoved him away with him,

"f**k you, James! That's my sister you tried to kill! And you're really asking me why I don't understand!?! Try thinking about it," I turned to leave again but the next thing I knew I was on the floor on my back.

"She's in the hospital, she didn't die. So can't you just....." I cut him off again,

"Can't what!?" I slapped him and pushed him off me. I got to my feet and ran downstairs. Tears were streaming down my cheeks but I had no idea why.

"Brie! Brie where the hell are you going!?!" I heard Shane call after me as I ran out into the open air. I knew I had to speed and somehow I did while knowing that I was. I ran for about five minutes until I was well away from the house, in fact, miles away.

I stopped and resumed normal walking through an alleyway. It was dark and long but I didn't care, I just kept going, "Well, well, shouldn't you be indoors at this time of night?" I came to a halt and slowly turned to look behind me.

This actually handsome guy stood there. He was maybe twenty, short black hair with brown, greenish eyes. I couldn't tell what color skin he was with how dark the alley was. "I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself," I said flatly turning to walk away.

"Won't there be people looking for you?"

"No, I'm a freak," ok that's the first time I've ever said that out loud.

"Hmmm...." the next thing I knew he shoved me against the wall and I saw his fangs, "Wrong answer." He said before throwing me to the ground.

"Ah! Help! Someone, please help!" I screamed the usual words anyone would. He was on me in seconds and turned me to look at him. He pulled me onto my feet and opened a side door that I hadn't seen there. "No!" I screamed kicking him in the shin.

"Ow! You b***h!" he cried back. I ran past him but he caught me by the waist and throw me back inside. He fell on top of me and showing his fangs he tried to rip open my top.

"No! Please no!" I cried again tears falling down my face. If I say I'm the princess it still won't stop him....it'll make it worse. I struggled more but he was too strong. He pinned my arms down and ripped my top open exposing my blue bra, it didn't help that I was still wearing the really short shorts and the top that showed more than just my belly bottom, I guess it made it easier for him.

"Let me go!" I struggled more knowing that soon he would rip my shorts open. He was going to grasp one of my boobs even though I still had my bra on. I shut my eyes tight and cried out the only name that popped into my head,

"SHANE!!" he stopped reaching for my breast and I opened my eyes to see his smile gone, "What did you just say?" he asked looking at me with different eyes, but something I couldn't put my finger on. The next thing I knew he was thrown off me.

"She called for me, asshole."
