The Chosen

Chapter Ten

We all sat by the tree Mason was very clingy and it was great. So I asked Maria a couple of easy questions. "So Maria what's your favorite color?"

"I like pink and gray."

"What do you do in your spare time?"

"I do homework, but right now I'm sewing my homecoming dress. I can't wait for that, its only 4 months away." Homecoming was in January. I've never been into school dances but this one is the most important one especially because I was obviously going to win homecoming queen.

"Do you want to hang out with Mason, a couple of his friends and I for a little bit after school?"

Mason nudged me and I just put my hand on his and a shock went through me and shocked him. "Yeah, I think you would like them. We will meet here," he sounded like a robot.

"Okay... I'm driving."

"Sure I can. I will tell my parents they have to pick up Penelope." She pulled her phone out of her shoe.

"Penelope is one of her three cars. It's an Audi R8, she also has a Ferrari named Poppy and a 2012 Dodge Ram named Penny."

It's been 2 years since they dated and he still remembered that stuff. I didn't know if I was more jealous or shocked.

"Hello mummy, can you pick up Penelope, I'm going to hang out with Melanie and her friends. She will give me a ride home. Okay, thanks ta, ta."

Everyone got up to clean the area around the tree and walked to 4th. I was going to get up, but I could feel that Mason wanted to talk. "What?"

"Well first you knew I wanted to talk to you, and second when you touched my hand you sent me a message when I got shocked."

"What do you mean Mason? I just shocked you."

"I didn't know why you were inviting Maria to hang out with us. Then you touched my hand and you told me that you wanted to know why she wasn't sleeping in your vision/dream. You told me all of this just through our touch."

"Okay, that's weird. Here what am I thinking about?" I grabbed his hand.

"You are thinking that I looked really hot today."

"No, but good try. Maybe it only happens sometimes." I laughed and shrugged. When I looked back Mason did his puppy dog eyes. "I was joking you look hot every day." I kissed him. The bell rang I had LA and Mason had Fitness. It's weird Mason has fitness in 4th then then gym in 5th and he isn't sweaty at all. "Willow tree after school okay. I love you." I ran to the school and got to class.

In LA we learned how to write a great essay for diplomas. It was boring stuff because I was the master of essays and I'm a straight A student in all my classes. Except art I'm a C student, I'm not very good at it. I just went in it for the credits.

After the last bell I walked to the Willow tree. Weirdly I was the first one there, then Maria came and then Mason came a little after. We all walked to the truck, I reversed and started driving to Mason's house. In the middle of the drive, I got a pounding headache. I pulled the truck over and tried to do that telepathy thing. I thought of ghosts, "I will be right back." I went into the woods that was right beside the road.

"Hello, I'm Melanie where are you?"

It smelt like rotting flesh in the woods. I saw there were 3 girls about my age standing in front of me. They were all naked with mud on their faces and twigs in their hair. One had really long blonde hair, another had short brown hair, and the last girl had medium length brown hair.
