Shelby and Elizabeth

Once Elijah took Haylee out and ran away without me, I knew that he was coming back. Even though I specifically told him not to, I knew he was coming back. I knew he'd probably leave Haylee at someplace public, someplace crowded with loads and loads of people. He'd probably go downtown to one of those shops, or put her at one of her friends houses. I just hoped they didn't go home. Anywhere but here and there. I just hope they're safe.

Once they left, something moved in the bothersome bag. Yes, I am very sure of it. Something, or someone, moved in that troublesome bag. Then, when they were surely out of range, the vexatious bag unzipped itself and moved even more. Oh great,something, or maybe someone, is coming out of that bag. And when I was sure that I couldn't be freaked out anymore, Gertinald came jumping out of that bag! How was this possible? Elijah said that he had no pulse, no heartbeat! He was definitely dead, no question about it. But that doesn't explain why he's here, coming closer to the shell-shocked me. Holy Crap, he moved fast. 

Then it hit me. Maybe, just maybe he was already dead, that he didn't need to have a beat. Maybe he's a living dead or something,  though that seamed out of the question. But he's definitely odd. And old. Who know's his actual age? But maybe, just maybe, he's different then the rest of us werewolves. 

It was almost dark, and Elijah still hadn't come back for me. The Cafe On Broadway was about to close, but Shelby was still here. She said she'd wait until he comes back, even though I told her that it'd probably be a long time. Like past midnight. She asked why I wouldn't go home and I told her it was because I'm not supposed to. 

"What do you mean you're not supposed to?' Shelby asked me.

"I mean that I'm supposed to be with my brother, and if I come home without him, they'd ask questions which I can't answer." I told her. It was true, but I couldn't tell her why I couldn't answer the questions. That was out of the question.

"Oh." She said, disappointingly. "Do you know when he's coming back?" She asked, again. This was like the 100th time she's asked me that.

"I told you, I don't know. I have not a clue what he's doing and when he's coming back." I replied back. It was partly true. I didn't know what he's doing other than trying to help Elizabeth, and I definitely had no clue of when he was coming back.

"I just can't go home leaving you here by yourself." Shelby said to me. Oh, sometimes I hated those people who are always thinking for me instead of themselves. "I'll stay with you."

"Okay, but he's a mess. Just to let you know." I told her, jokingly. I'm not sure if she got it though...

"I'm still staying with you." She said.

Fine. Be like that. I was only warning you! I thought to myself. Elijah, Lizzie, where the heck are you? Get your werewolf butts back here now! I hope that they heard me. 

Author's Note

So Shelby is the waitress that Haylee was talking to in the last chapter. Again it's short. I know. I can't make it longer. Besides, I'm tired.

So... How did ya like it?

Was it good?

Nice chapter. I really liked it...but Haylee needs to learn to listen...I bet Shelby is a werewolf to...but I'm just guession. I can't believe he is still alive...that is really creepy....ugh I don't like Gertinald....he's creepy. Anyways can't wait to read on. Thanks for sharing.

A very good chapter. I had to re-read the whole story. A lot of action in this chapter. I like how she is gaining knowledge and strength of her life and surroundings. A excellent chapter.

"put her at one of her friends(') houses." "Something,(--) or someone(--), moved in that troublesome bag." Use the dashes instead, makes it feel more urgent. Poe used this all the time when people were going insane in his stories. "which I can't answer.(,)" I told her." "This was like the 100th(hundredth) time she's asked me that." "when he's coming back.(,)" I replied back." "leaving you here by yourself.(,)" Shelby said to me." "Just to let you know.(,)" I told her" " staying with you.(,)" She said."

Ok, just a little inconsistency. Elizabeth knows it's Gertinald in the bag, but wonders what's coming out of the bag? That doesn't make sense.
