Mind Games

Chapter 7

I drive and drive across the bridge surrounded by water. It's still raining and I'm getting close to the edge of town. I start to wonder if Leo sent me the right address. The GPS tells me to take a right and I arrive at a large home (lol more like a mansion). The lights are one, all the drapes open, pouring light from the large windows onto the lawn. I park my car in the curved driveway and run to escape the rain. Before I can even knock someone opens the door and pulls me inside. I struggle and fight not realizing it's Jackson.

"Dammit, calm down will you! It's just me," he says annoyed.

"Well sorry if I was just attacked and sent to some random home!" I say also annoyed.

His arms are wrapped around me tight and he isn't letting go. Everyone is just staring.

"You can let go of me now. Everyone is staring at us." I say under my breath.

"Oh, I know. They all know you're mine tho so it's ok." Again with the telepathy. I hate that he can see inside my head (I know I've said it a lot). I roll my eyes and he finally let's go. I turn and face everyone.

"Ok. Can someone please tell me what the fuck is going on." I say like a typical sassy girl. Hands on hips and everything.

They all look around just staring at each other wondering if they should really tell me.

"Fine," Leo says "we found you because you're in danger."

I don't really believe him, but I listen anyway

"You were attacked earlier right?" he continues

I bring my hand to where my arm had been cut open by razor-sharp claws earlier today.

"Yea. A price has been set out in Hell to bring you back. Dead."

(Wow, thanks for the sugar coating Leo. You really know how to get a girl going) I stare at them wide-eyed. Dead?! Someone has put a bounty out for me? But why! I'm just a normal girl. I mean yeah I can read and control minds, but that's not that weird. Hahahaha right????

"Dead? What why. Look I'm just a normal girl who wants to go back home and not be a part of any movie type shit. I'm going to go home now." I turn to leave but I can't. Jackson is holding me here.

"Look we've been nice enough to warn you and even give you our help. So what you're going to do is stay here so you don't fucking die."

"Why are they after me. It makes no sense!" I'm becoming agitated now.

"We can't tell you that right now, but I promise everything is going to be ok. You just have to trust us," Aria says.

She puts her hand on my shoulder and nods.

"You need to stay here with us so we can keep an eye on you. I'll show you your room," She leads me up a large staircase to a hallway full of doors.

"I know this was unexpected and we're sorry about that, but you really do need to keep an eye on you. We don't want you dying on us."

She gives me a lighthearted smile. I guess that was supposed to be a joke, but it wasn't very funny.

"Ok well here is your room. I'm not sure how long we will stay here but anyway I'm right across the hall. You can borrow my clothes since I think we are the same size. So just take what you want I don't mind. We can..." I cut her off.

"Ok thanks," I say. Too many words. She speaks so fast.

"Oh ok. Well, I think we are going to eat soon so if you want you can come down and join us," she says and walks away.

I look around the room. It is larger than I thought but plain. There is only a bed, dresser, and a nightstand. This must be an unused guest bedroom. Whatever. I guess if I'm going to be stuck here with the real life wonder teens (hard sarcasm) I should make the best of it. I think about my options. 1) I could try and escape (but what if they are telling the truth and I die...eh) 2) I could try and control them (Jackson is blocking them too. What a fucktard). 3) I could play along and maybe everything will be fine (looks like my best bet. Whoohoo). Eyeroll.

Sorry for the short chapter. I haven't had much time to write, but I wanted to update! :) I'll make a really long chapter next! ( oh and don't worry, the action will be here very soon) *evil laughs* ok bye!
