Behind These Walls

Behind These Walls 3

*Shane*

I sat in my room blasting my music; I got suspended because of that little mutt, Chase Nicols. He has gotten on my last nerve thinking that he is all that and trying to steal my girlfriend, Taylor. I shouldn't let him get to me but he provoked me with the comments. I was woken up by the ringing of my phone, taking it out of my pocket I noticed it was four in the afternoon already. "Hey babe," I said my voice laced with tiredness.

"Oh hey baby, I heard what happened. You shouldn't have gotten in that fight." Her sweet voice scolded me.

"I know but-," being the controlling type Taylor cut me off.

"Obviously not, you shouldn't let Chase get to you, now you are suspended and I don't have you with me." I could hear the pout in her voice.

"Yeah babe I know but you didn't hear what he was saying."

"Yes I did Shane and you shouldn't listen to him. You know why?"

"Why," I asked a bit hesitantly.

"Because Shane I love you and wouldn't go to Chase." Her quiet sweet voice made me smile.

"I love you too Tay. Can you some over, no one is home."

"Sure I'll be there in twenty minutes." I hung up, got off my bed and trudged down the stairs to the kitchen. Ripping open a bag of blood I drank it down, after two bags the door bell rang. I cleaned up the mess; throwing the empty bags away, cleaning the few drops off the floor, and wiping my face off before running to the door. Opening it up I saw not Taylor but my best friend JD.

"Hey man what's up?" he was very cheerful and just walked into my house.  JD has been my friend since he moved here six years ago and joined our coven. He was a free sprit and no one spoiled his fun, he gets very annoying at times but you can't really say no to his face. He was the shortest in our group for being seventeen; he was five foot eight with light brown hair that hung over his glowing gold eyes.  

"Um Taylor is coming over," I shut the door and followed JD into the living room.

"Oh your parents are gone?"

"Yeah, so what are you doing here?"

"Parents," with that one word I knew what was up. JD's parents constantly fought and JD was abused a lot when his dad came home drunk and needed a punching bag.

"You can stay here JD just stay away from Taylor and me till she leaves." I pleaded.

"Yeah sure but what are you going to do when you have to marry? Your parents won't let you be with Taylor, I mean she is a fairy and we are vampires my man." JD smacked me on the shoulder, but he was right my parents wanted to keep the blood line pure and Taylor isn't one of us. Even if I changed her she wouldn't be a pure blooded vampire and that is what was needed for the race to keep strong; especially if I am the one ruling them. The sound of a car driving up the driveway had me standing up and walking to the door.

"Ok well I'll see you later, you know the drill."

"Yes Prince Spencer sir," JD stood up and saluted me before jumping onto the couch and turning the TV on. I shook my head and walked off to the door opening it up for Taylor. She ran into my arms and tightly encircled her arms around my waist. Hugging her back I placed a soft kiss to the top of her head. Pulling apart she smiled and took my hand leading me up the stairs and into my room.

"Oh hey did you hear about the old James place?" Taylor walked over and sat on my bed.

"No what about it," I sat next to her and wrapped my arm around her waist, puling her to my side and placing kisses to her neck. She giggled and tried squirming away from me but I held tightly.

"Stop and I'll tell you," I stopped for a second to think before pulling away and smiling at her. "Ok well apparently I heard from a few of Chase's friends that Chase went up to that old house and he couldn't go to the house. Someone is there and they put a spell on the house so no one can go up to it, we have another witch in town now."

"Wow well does the council know about this person?"

"No but they must be a strong witch to make that strong of a force field and then to redo the whole house."

"What do you mean 'redo'?"

"Well when I heard about this a few friends and I went up to the place to see if it was true and the once old house was fixed. New paint and the whole in the roof was gone, the broke things were all fixed up and I saw the silhouette of a person in the house through the window, it was a young witch and pretty powerful." Taylor looked up and smiled, "maybe she will go to our school."

"How do you know it is a 'she?"

"Because I know and it better be a she, I would love a new friend."

"Taylor you have tons of friends, but anyways did we come to talk about an old house or to do other stuff." I smirked at her and pushed back onto the bed. She giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck.

"Wow Shane you don't ever want to just talk, we have to jump right into other stuff." I nodded and kiss her deeply on the lips. I'll go check out the old James place later on tonight and let my dad know but for now I have a guest to make happy.
