Housemates

Chapter 30

  //Lucy// ;)

Nothing.

I feel nothing at all.

Am I dead? Could be a possibility right? My brother did snap my neck and I couldn't feel anything afterwards. I feel so numb and my body want move, all I see is darkness and not the white light. I guess this is it,huh? My final calling to the other side and it's not the good side but I wish it was.
        I'm thinking a lot so is that a sign that I could possibly be alive or is this just me waiting on my damnation in the afterlife. Oh,wait but what about Saber? The guy whom I love yet failed to tell before he perished. What about Marisa did Jude kill her as well or was there hope for her? I wish that I was there and wasn't so weak.

       

Why couldn't I save anybody? Why am I weaker than Penny? Always so weak yet so brave Lucy. Penny is still out here and look at you you're dead. Penny has won and she's probably taking over the world by now. I wish there was something I could do but I can't I'm dead, my love is dead and possibly my soon to be best friend is dead. I wish t here was something I could do and...what's this feeling? Something like life welled up in me.

        It felt exhilarating and at the same time powerful. I felt vibrant and wistful, I slowly saw the darkness begin to fade away to something brighter and that's when I knew as my eyes creaked open, what my power was.

Jude's POV:
        We arrived to the house in the late afternoon to no one being in sight. I looked back at Marisa who was quiet the whole ride here, we hailed a taxi in the town we were in. Marisa glanced back at me and shrugged at the quiet home. I heard a few words being spoken in the east wing of the house and so that's the way I went,grabbing Marisa's hand as well. When we got there we arrived at Sabers room.

  Lucy opened her eyes and looked out at us. She looked directly at Marisa and a happy smile spread on her face.

"Marisa" Lucy said softly. Marisa tugged her hand free from mine's and took a step forward. I let her.

"Lucy? How are yo-" Marisa stopped and just looked at Lucy. Tears were in her eyes as she and Lucy walked towards each other. Wow they actually bonded over that week together.

       

"I don't even know...one minute I'm not breathing and the next I'm alive." Lucy looked back at Saber who was wide awake and looking confused. "I thought if I could raise myself could I raise others. My thoughts were right and I guess you can call me a necromancer." Lucy finished as she turned back to Marisa who was taking this surprisingly well. I found Lucy being a necromancer kind of funny but I didn't laugh. A half-dead girl raising the dead. Interesting. I looked over at Simon who was definitely thinking this was interesting as well. He was so into it, and I was surprised he didn't have his handy-dandy notebook. When you know younger people you tend to get into stuff like Blues Clues.

        I stared back at Marisa and Lucy who were just staring at each other. A irritated sigh interrupted them.
"Just hug already." Ryan said. I tried not to laugh as the girls both sent him glares but they did hug. Lucy looked at all of us after all of that and her face turned serious.

"Now I don't know if I should really forgive you guys for never trusting me." She started and that brought the mood down in the room with a big piece of guilt pie. "Also I shouldn't forgive Daniel for killing me and you guys for not stopping him." Even more guilt pie being served. She turned to our father. "Daddy I'm glad to see you. I knew that you would hear my cry." Lucy said and our father smiled, faint lines crinkling on his rather young face. A sign of him being stressed like the rest of us. Lucy announced us yet again. "But even if you guys were in the wrong I do forgive you because only one thing matters now and that is finding Penny. I do not want to kill her... yet but we must find her before she becomes an evil dictator. Who knows how many innocents she has killed so far. " We all nodded in agreement but I know we all felt guilty still. "Also I am not going to stay behind and rest.We are all involved and she is also all of our family and my twin to be exact. No one left behind not even these two." she referred to Marisa and Saber. That got me to shaking my head and Marisa glared at me.

"You are right Lucy." I said. "But the guy needs to rest on the other hand Marisa can come because obviously no one can change her crazy ass mind. " I shot her a look and she just smiled. I rolled my eyes. Lucy gave me a wary glance then walked over to Saber at his bedside.

       

"Could you give us a moment and I mean for you not to eavesdrop and be overprotective brothers." Lucy stated. All of us guys exchanged glances with each other, thinking the same thing. Simon stepped forward.

"We can at least give you that." He said. We all nodded in agreement. Gale, Ryan and Daniel started for the door first . Then my father and Simon left. I was alone in the room with Marisa,Lucy and Saber now.
"I'll see you later Lucy." Marisa said. Lucy looked at her and smiled.

"Okay " She glanced at me. "Keep her safe from everything Jude."

"Of course." I told her and then stepped forward to take Marisa's hand. "Come on Marisa we need to leave." Marisa turned back to me and nodded.

"Alright." She came closer to me and we walked out of the room together. I closed the door behind us. We were alone in t he hall. The presence of my brothers somewhere on the other side of the house. We began to walk but Marisa stopped.

" Jude?" she whispered. I looked at her, her head was down.
"Yes?"

       

She looked up at me, her blue eyes peering into my soul. She reached out a hand and lightly stroked my cheek. I was shocked enough not to say anything. She came closer,our lips almost touching. That's when I wanted to kiss her. Her eyes held mine the whole time and as if reading my mind she kissed me. My arms instinctively went around her and as she opened her mouth and let me I felt something hot in my chest.

        I wondered if she felt it too. Her heart was beating fast like mine was. What did that mean? Was there something wrong with me? The question failed to be answered as her arms came around my neck and our chests touched. The kiss was sweet and yet, achingly painful. It was long and when her soft lips pulled away from mine I wanted to kiss her again. We stared at each other, and there was hint of a blush in her cheeks: Flustered maybe.

"What was that?" I just had to know. Her eyes lit up and then a playful grin came on her face. She tapped my chest.

"That was a thank you." She said, then she walked away leaving me. I just let her go, and then touched the source of the rapid thumping in my chest. I could still hear the beat of her heart as she got farther away .

       

It was fast.
