Almost killed

Chapter 15: Almost killed.

I left the class in order to see Molly at lunch. Everything about Jake had gone behind me, I was now living in a new world of single girls, though gossips flying over about me never stopped, students thought I and Stefan were having an affair. We had become so close to each other and we were still in a friend zone. Dramas had lessened but not without frequently getting into trouble with Julie.

My nose instantly picked up a scent of lavender mixed with honey locust, just like Catherine's scent. I knew she was nearby but couldn't get where exactly. The familiar scent became stronger as I walked through the hallway. I turned back to see if she was behind but saw nothing.

Immediately, strong hands grabbed me and in a sec, I was thrown into a bathroom. The person turned and pinned me to the wall."Are you trying to impress me?" I mocked her by pushing her aside. She stumbled into three steps back and stood.

She moved her eyes to the door and magically locked it. "I wish to know you. " I scoffed, "I'm human." I said.

She nodded."Yes. You are human but have the strength of a lioness." I rolled my eyes. "If you don't stop following me around, Siren. I might do something bad, very bad." I warned and walked to stand in front of her. "It is a warning."

She smirked and walked to stand behind me. "I feel threatened. You know, I noticed something about the friends you chose to flock with. When I said friends, I meant your boyfriend."

"I don't have a boyfriend, and what the fuck are you saying?."

She let out an evil laugh and stroked my hair backwards. "Keep your eyes open, Fireheart. Keep your ears pricked. Keep looking behind you. Because one day they will find you, and then you'll be their crowfood. Be warned, Human."

At a moment, I stood trying to ascertain what she said and I ended up reasoning nothing.

At night, Cathy's warning kept resounding in my head. I could not sleep, I was trying to make out what she was saying but nothing came to mind. There was something she knows that I do not know of. I didn't know when I drifted off to wonderland.

A sound suddenly woke me up. I looked around and put on the incandescent lamp beside my bed.

Another sound made me sprang out of my bed. I took a torch and walked downstairs, flickering my touch at any position of the house. I opened the entrance door and closed it, quietly making my way out of the gate.

The night was quiet and dark, I didn't hear any noise and I cursed myself for ever thinking something was wrong. Damn, am I hallucinating?. I know I've had nightmares but I do not find myself sleeping, walking and hearing strange voices. I also knew it could also be real.

I turned my back to go inside, suddenly a hand dragged me and pushed me on the floor. With the force, my back hurt from the impact, I was about to get up but a blow landed on my face, it kicked me and I fell right on the hard floor. I winced and coughed out blood.

A figure came closer to my body with an axe in its hand. "You idiot!." A feminine voice says before bending over at my figure. I couldn't make out her face as how dark the night had become.

I went to sit up but she wrapped her hand around my neck and I gasped for air. "Let..go!" I wheezed out. "Shut up!."She ordered.

"I want to see you dead, gradually and painfully until there isn't any more life in you. You think you can stroll into our lives and steal Stefan away from me, destined or not!" She spat. My eyes widened when I knew it was Wendy, and she tightened her hold on me letting my leg wriggled rapidly on the floor.

"Let her go, hunter." My mom says from the background. Her voice was calm as usual even in the toughest condition. Wendy looked at her. Her eyes were also glowing in the dark, it was pure red. Evil.

"Who're you?" She asked. Distractedly her hand got loose around my neck. "Let her go, now!" My mom warned, her voice was louder this time. Oh no!. Mom shouldn't interfere, she is not human.

"Go human. That's none of your business." She said harshly and turned to finish me off.

A great wind blew her off and sent her crashing to the floor, 5km away from me. The rough average of steps in a km is 1312, so there would be about 6560 steps in 5km. I calculated, but what just happened now?. "Elena, get inside now!!." My mom orders harshly.

Her voice was hard as rock and I knew I was in trouble. She dragged me into my room and threw me on the bed. "What the fuck were you doing outside?" She yelled.

"Mom. I'm sorry, i heard a noise and went to check it out"

"And that almost led to your death. You could have been killed, Elena. What happened to me?Why didn't you report to me?"

"I'm sorry. I was only checking it out. I thought we were about to be robbed."

"Shut up!. You know this area is hard for robbers to find us. Ellie, I have taken care of you for almost 13years now. Listen, you're been hunted now, by witches and hunters. If you're not careful, you could be killed by them. Don't ever go off on your own again, I promised your mother to protect you. Tomorrow, we're leaving town. Start packing now!!"

I watched the door close and i layed back on my bed hugging my pillow. I had never seen my mom this angry. I was curious to check what was happening, and at this point, I didn't know what was happening around me anymore. And the question remains.

Who was Wendy?. Who's my mom?. And finally, what was Cathy talking about?. Why was she talking about Stefan in that manner?. Why did my mom call Wendy hunter and how does she know she was one?. I could remember this was something Cathy called Aaron that day.

Finally, all I can make out is that Aaron and Wendy were hunters and so is Stefan.
