Chapter Six: Once Upon A Moon

“You’ve got to be kidding me,” Elizabeth replied to my question. “That’s what they’ve been talking about?”

 

I looked at my feet, “Yes?” It came out more like a question than a statement. “So what’s your answer?” I asked as I looked back up at her.

 

“Um…” she started off, then grabbed my arm and started running. “THOSE DAMN IDIOTS NEED TO STOP BUGGING ME!” She screamed.

 

Momentarily, I was caught between yelling and saying what, and it came out completely different. “WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHAT-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!” Yes, definitely different.

 

“What?” Elizabeth asked, shooting me strange looks, “What are you saying?”

As soon as we stopped running, I replied, “What were you talking about?”

 

“The damned people who made me hate Siloam last year! Shelby and Gertinald. They’ve been following me all week. It’s getting annoying,” She replied.

 

“Those people need to get a life,” I said.

 

Just as soon as I said “Life,” Shelby and Gertinald run around the corner and towards us. I run away, leaving Elizabeth hanging, but just before they get to her, she turns into a werewolf. I stopped running for a second to watch her growl, his and bite the intruders. Dang, she’s angry. I just hope that she isn’t angry because of me. I ran back to her and turned into the same thing.

 

So what’s your answer? I sent to her.

 

Not now! I’ll tell you later after I pull off their limbs so that they can’t walk or drive! She sent back. Then, out of nowhere, she jumps on top of Gertinald and rips out his throat. Maybe she forgot that he’s immortal. Shelby dived on top of Elizabeth, trying to yank Elizabeth off of her ‘husband.’ I, being cowardly, just watched. HELP! Elizabeth sent me, HELP ME, ELIJAH!

 

I jumped on to Shelby and threw her into a tree, breaking Shelby’s bones. Then I clawed Gertinald to death and pulled Elizabeth off of him. “What the hell was that all for?” I ask kind of angry.

 

“Thanks, Elijah,” Elizabeth replied.

 

“And your answer?” I asked.

 

“Answer to what?” she replied. For a nerd, she was sometimes stupid.

 

“To my question earlier,” I reminded her.

“Oh, that,” she looked behind my shoulder, and frowned. “I’ll tell you later.” Then she ran past me. I turned around just as I saw Elizabeth jump up in the air, and slowly kick a man standing there.

 

I ran right to the man that was now lying on the ground. “What the hell, Elizabeth?” I yelled.

 

“DON’T YOU FREAKING TELL ME YOU DON’T KNOW WHO THIS RUDE MAN IS, ELIJAH!” She yelled back. I shook my head no. I didn’t expect her to yell at me that way. “IN CASE YOU HAVEN’T NOTICED, IT’S MY BARBARAC COUSIN, ALEX!” Then to him, she yelled, “AND THANKS, ALEX, FOR ONCE AGAIN RUINING MY SUMMER!”

 

I jumped up, kicked him, then turned around and left Elizabeth with Alex. I walked half a block, turned around to make sure that Elizabeth was behind me, but she wasn’t. I looked ahead to where she was, but she was gone. She disappeared. And so did Alex.
