Chapter 5: Chapter 5
Drake
Seriously, she is such a talkative person, she's been bothering me since morning and the funny thing is she didn't even know it. She's different, very different, and mysterious.
Staring at the window, watching the beautiful scenery, clouds, thick fog, the cold weather, and drowning in my own thoughts is the best thing of my life and I enjoy it! Almost every day. Not again? She is so talkative and so irritating too.
I'm staring at the window but I can hear it! She pulled a packet of chips out of her bag, shaking it well. The sound of this packet of chips is incredibly annoying and it's ringing in my ears. I looked at her and again kept staring at the window.
She hit the packet of chips so hardly with her hand, and the sound of a loud cracker came from the packet. Even, for the first time in my life, I was actually and amazingly scared and shocked to hear the sound of this loud cracker.
"Oh wow, it's so yummy. The spiciest chips ever, I love it!" She's talking continuously and makes me angry even more at her.
That's it! I'm done with her now. "What are you doing?" I asked her with my boiling temper.
She looked at me with those Goddamn sapphire eyes. It's like she exactly knows how to make me shut and melt within these eyes.
"I….. I'm eating… the chips. Do you wanna taste it? It tastes so spicy and yummy." She said with such an innocent and soft voice. God, why is she talking to me that way? Once again she made me speechless. I let out a gentle sigh, "no thanks... just don't make noise." Oh no, I think I make her angry.
"Fine, enjoy your own company; you're such an angry….. Weirdo. I'm going."
I sighed, thank God she's leaving. She grabbed her bag and stood up but then that hell bus driver pulled a break and she fell on my lap. Actually, her head is right now on my lap. My mouth dropped open as I saw her on my lap.
"Ouch! My head?" She said like a crying baby, like a kid in kindergarten.
"Unbelievable," Dear hell, what type of girl has you bumped me today? I think she's a bombshell. Who can explode anywhere on earth?
She slowly pulled herself up while rubbing her head.
"Did you find the same place on the whole bus to fall?" I asked.
She makes a pout face with hypnotic pink lips and her sapphire eyes. I sighed, there is nothing I can do right now except this.
"It's your entire fault; you irritate me that's why I decided to leave."
"I'm irritating you? Oh come on first you irritated me then you blamed me? Seriously, you're a bomb." Drake is being so annoying right now.
"Hey, I'm not a bomb you weirdo," I said.
"Then I'm not a weirdo either." I glanced at her, drowned in her eyes like always. I sighed as I looked away. "Just stop talking," I said softly. "Fine, I stop talking because there is no use fighting with a weirdo like you? But it doesn't mean that you won? I won like always. Because I'm so sweet, intelligent, hot, cute—"
"Would you stop talking?" I said angrily by cutting her off.
"Okay, okay, fine. By the way…. You are not in the library, Mr.? Oh yeah, I remember…. What was it? Umm… Yes, it's Dracula."
I instantly looked at her. She wanted to give me another shock, didn't she? She blew up my mind after calling me a Dracula.
"Do I look like a Dracula to you?" I asked in a soft but confused way.
She's quiet, I don't know if she's joking or she actually thinks that I'm a Dracula.
"Well, Chris said that you are a —"
"A Dracula?" I asked with an angry and shocking tone this time.
"Maybe? What's your name? I thought it's Dracula." She said with such seriousness in her attractive but killing eyes.
I unexpectedly laughed when I heard my own new name. "Rose, even I know your name but you—? Anyway, It's Drake… not Dracula. Got it?"
"Ooh….. Sorry, my bad." She starts giggling, "sorry actually I was confused between Drake and Dracula."
Seriously, she is such a confused person. A second ago I actually believed that I'm starting to like her but the next moment she proved me wrong. Even if she is attractive it doesn't mean that I have to lose my focus. I need to stay away from her, no matter what. I notice, she has a childish soul, I mean minutes ago she produced a loud cracking sound from her chips packet.
I'm actually enjoying a little bit of student's music, watching the love birds which are Andrew and Chris. It's pretty impressive, everything but then…. that three-year-old child sat next to me.
"So, Dracu—" She stopped herself and shook her head as a no when I glanced at her with a swear angry look.
"Sorry, I mean.... Drake?" She let out a funny but confused laugh.
"Thank God, you correct it all by yourself."
"Yeah, I know," she said while biting her lip.
"Anyway, where are you from?" I'm not in the mood to talk but I just can't ignore her. It'll be rude if I don't answer her. I sighed, "I'm from here, since childhood.
"Wow, well it's a good place to live after all. I shifted here a few days ago and I'm already starting to like that place."
"What about you? Where are you from?" I asked with such deep concern, it's like I wanted to ask that question to her ever since she got here.
She turned her face to look at me as she put that chips pack in her bag.
"I'm from New Orleans." She said with a soft smile on those puffy pink lips.
"New Orleans? Wow, I always wanted to go there.
Why did you shift here? I mean, New Orleans is a beautiful place." I asked.
She started staring at the window for a while. Why is she so quiet? As far as I know; she's louder than a speaker and the one who never stops talking then what's wrong with her now? She takes a deep breath and then speaks up.
"It's because I want to change my lifestyle and environment, that's why."
Rosetta
He asked me the same question which I don't even want to answer anymore after everything that happened to me that night. I know it's not his fault it's a common question by the way. I can't help myself but the memories of that night still haunted me, life became the worst nightmare.
That night still haunts my dreams. God, what should I do? I only wish for his death, I want to kill him but I can't. It's not because I'm weak? It's because I'm still afraid of him.
"Hey, Rose, are you enjoying it with him?" Chris whispered in my ear. Clearing my mind from those awful thoughts I smiled.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said. I saw a look on Chris's face, it's like she calms down on my response.
"Great, cause I'm worried about you and Drake." Drake looked at her and saluted with his two fingers.
*Students; Come on let's sing together, everybody*
I'm watching them, and all the students sing along to my favorite song it's * Cheap thrills * Wow, I really love this song so much.
I glanced at Drake; he met his gaze to me and smirked. I admit, his smile is dangerously hot but sweet at the same time, and also his smirk. Why can't I understand him? According to my observation, he's a mysterious hot weirdo.
I don't even know him, he's not friendly, not flirty and most importantly he is not talkative. Seriously, his brother is so friendly and romantic of course, then what's wrong with him? God knows I have my own great problems to work on so it's better not to think about him too much.
*Teacher* "ladies and gentlemen, only twenty more minutes and we'll be there." *Cheering and clapping* I love this loud noise but not all the time. "Crap! I'm hungry."
"Shut up Andrew not again. You already eat a club sandwich with beer so don't be a hunger monster."
"But Chris, babe I'm really hungry." I twisted around to see both of them who are fighting like fourth-grade kids. "Is everything okay?" I asked.
"No, Rose, that hunger monster gets hungry again."
"Aww, Chris don't be so hard on him, just give him another sandwich."
"Rose, dear he already ate six sandwiches."
"Six?" I asked with my eyes wide open. "Yep, four sandwiches for breakfast, one in the school and another one a few seconds ago."
"Rose, please tell her I'm hungry," Andrew requested from me like he's been hungry for a century.
"Well, Andrew, I think Chris is right this time it's too much," I said. "Oh no, Drake, you are my only hope, brother help me?"
He starts laughing, "sorry bro but can't fight with girls."
"Well, Andrew, I think Chris is right this time it's too much," I said. "Oh no, Drake, you are my only hope, brother help me?" He starts laughing, "sorry bro but can't fight with girls."
"OH! Great choice, Drake." Chris said.
"I know, sister!" Drake replied.
"By the way, Rose, tell me the truth. Didn't Drake tease you?" I slightly smiled and looked at him who was already looking at me with a raised eyebrow.
"No, he didn't tease me, Chris." Drake let out a big laugh and it makes me smile too. "If you said, then I believe you otherwise he's —"
"What?? Sis, I'm a good boy and you know it."
"Yeah, yeah who knows you and your brother more than me?" *Ladies and Gentlemen* we are here.
*Cheers and Clapping*
Finally, so that's an aquarium museum hmmm….. Christina was right; it really is the most beautiful place to enjoy.
I mean look at this fish, it's swimming, dancing in water shining in bright rainbow colors. I'm already in love with this place and I'm not regretting it anymore to be here.
Christina and Selena were busy taking selfies with sharks and an octopus so I decided to go see the big aquarium with a bright shade of fish. I'm in full mode to enjoy sea creatures. I smile because those beautiful creatures stole my heart already.
Drake quietly stands next to me with folded arms, looking at the aquarium. I glanced at him as he looked at me. I don't know why. But he's staring at my eyes, it's like he's drowning in my eyes. I smirked and kept looking at the aquarium.
"Why are you looking at me, like that?" I asked.
He laughs, "trust me, I'm asking that same question from myself too?" He said it's like a soft loveable whisper that wrapped my heart tightly.
I looked at him again silently. "Hey guys, what are you doing?" Chris asked. Andrew holds her hand, standing in front of us.
"Nothing, just enjoying the view," Drake said. "Yeah right, I'm not really enjoying it because I'm still hungry."
"Shut up Andrew."
"Chris, please one more sandwich and I swear I will never ask again." She narrowed her eyes.
"Don't even think about it?"
"Fine. So, Rose, you are from New Orleans, right?" Andrew asked. "Yes, I am," I replied. "Tell us about you?" Andrew asks again.
"Well, I shifted here a few days ago to continue my life and to be independent."
"Wow, it sounds amazing Rose." I smiled, "thanks, Chris."
"Did you enjoy it here?" Andrew asked. "Yeah, that place is really great. I like it." I replied. "Good, the school in that town is also pretty cool," Andrew added.
"How's New Orleans?" Drake asked me for the first time and I don't know where that fluttering bubbled came inside my stomach suddenly.
"Umm, New Orleans is a very beautiful place and historic. People think that it's a supernatural place and fairytale but I don't believe it?" I noticed three of them looking down and a mischievous smile escaped from the corner of Drake's lips.
"Do you guys believe in those things?" I asked confusingly. "No, we don't, it's just fantasy," Chris said. Her voice, it's like she's covering or wants to drop that conversation. "Andrew, I think we should go and enjoy the rest of the places?" Andrew nodded and they both went. Chris and Andrew are already gone and now it's just me and Drake standing awkwardly, having no idea what to say. "You look wonderful." He said with a soft and flirty voice and it's like butterflies in my stomach start dancing again. "Thank you, wait... is that a compliment?" I asked.
"Yeah, you can say that," while making a pout hot face with an eye close. He smiled and so am I. "Are you feeling comfortable here?" Drake asked softly.
"I'm trying too, actually, I used to live in New Orleans and then here." He smirked, "don't worry, your neighbor Chris…. she never lets you get bored."
"Yeah, I know she's nice and friendly. How do you two know her?"
"Well, she's Andrew's fiancée and our family member now, we have known her since kindergarten."
"Oh, wow that's cool."
"Yeah, Andrew, my brother, he started dating her since second grade."
"Second grade? Seriously?" That's totally unbelievable. "Yes, they both love each other that's why."
"What about you, are you single Rose?" Drake asked me while looking at me; I bit the inside of my lip. "Yep, I'm single. And you?" I asked and I already knew that his answer would be yes but?
"I'm single too but you know a little flirty," Drake said.
"I can understand the word "Little''.
He chuckles. "Why are you single? I mean you are hot, beautiful, and attractive?" I narrow my eyes, "why are you so concerned about me?"
"Because it's hard to believe that you are single," Drake said. It's like he likes me, the way he's staring at me is so cute. "Well, it's hard to believe that you are single too?" I said.
He smirked, "I know, but I am." I can feel it, his mood swings. First, he looked like he was ignoring me but now he's showing me a little soft side of him which actually is pretty impressive. "Someone please help me? Someone my boy….. He's dying."
"What's happening?" I looked at Drake, who was also confused like me.
The next thing that I know is a huge bombardment at the aquarium that injured me really badly. I think I broke my knees, my head is spinning; I saw monsters coming in the aquarium attacking people…... Wait... monsters? Monsters don't exist, right? So who are they exactly? "Watch out!" that was Drake's voice coming from behind me, he suddenly landed on me.
The voice of the crying people echoed in my ears and heart.
I slowly turned my face to see Drake, his one hand was behind my back and the other hand was up in the air shielding us from falling rocks, his hand was burning bright like a sun.
It's a shield… the magical shield that protects us, but how? He's shining brightly like a boy with sun rays. It's like he's surrounded by sun rays that reflect his body. When he looked at me slowly his eyes were burning red, the most beautiful and innocent hazel irises turned into pure bloody red. My heart starts skipping beating.
"Who are you?" My voice…. it's like a broken cord, why doesn't he answer me? "What are you?" He looks away like he doesn't want to answer me or he is trying to ignore me. I saw dead bodies everywhere...… I am surrounded by dead bodies covered in blood. I shut my eyes, because I know I can't suffer this anymore. Except answering my question he wrapped his arms around me and hugged me too tightly. I'm feeling the warm sensation in his embrace.
"You are okay, it's okay I'm with you, you are safe now." I'm listening to him but don't have enough energy to open my eyes or say anything. "It's okay."
He said softly. I slowly lifted my face to him; my head is already spinning like I'm riding on a roller coaster. "I'm sorry, I am so sorry." I stared at him, "Drake, why do you keep apologizing to me?" He didn't say anything but hugged me even more tightly again.
This time, I hugged him back too and it looks like he's slowly calming down himself.
"What are you?" I met my gaze at him. "Tell me?" He kept staring at me but then I saw another monster coming towards us.
"Drake, look behind you," I shouted. He quickly stands, spins his forefinger, and hits that ugly monster with a wooden chair that came to hit that monster… by flying. That monster fell to the ground; I'm staring at the monster. "Drake! Go, save yourself and Rose we can handle it here," Andrew said. He's injured like everybody.
"I'm not leaving you here," Drake said, he looks so angry and for the first time, I'm actually scared because of his anger and his dark side. "Andrew's right Drake, you just go now." Chris showed him eyes and it was like it's a code word that only Drake knows.
The next thing that I know is Drake holds my hand and we start running, my mind now is actually showing me an error. I don't know where we are going now but today I saw him. He's not human I know he's not and it's not my misunderstanding I'm damn sure
about it. My mouth and throat are badly drying this time, my body is aching and my head is still spinning.
God, that blood and dead bodies I can't take this anymore. It's all really bad, the screams of crying babies I can't take it out of my mind.
I looked at Drake who was walking in a deep Winchester's forest. I was completely lost in my thoughts and I didn't realize that we are in this dark forest.
"Where are we going?" I asked. My throat is badly dried and when I asked, it started aching.
He sighed, "I have no idea."
"Drake?" He stopped walking but he didn't turn around to look at me. "Can we sit for a minute before I pass out?"
He looked at me, God his hazel, I loved his eyes but then the memory of those bloody eyes flashed into my mind and my heart started racing badly.
"Why are you saying that?" He asked with a very soft and innocent voice.
"What?" I asked. "Passing out," he replied. I sighed, "It's because I'm having that kind of feeling right now."
He smirked, "let's sit then." We are sitting under a big shadowy tree, the whole forest is covered by thick snow, it's cold and foggy weather. That thick fog almost covered everything within it, even the tallest trees. Cold breeze is blowing and we are sitting in the middle of nowhere.
"Are you okay?" He asked with such a deep concern in his eyes. I nodded, "I think so. And you?" I asked because after everything including his bloody eyes and the magical shield I'm still worried about him.
"I'm fine," Drake said but I know he's not, I can feel it.
It's just me and Drake sitting and staring at the foggy sky. I took a deep breath and let it out and prepaid myself to ask again.
"Who are you? Please don't lie to me." He shut his eyes and started to rub his ear. "Rose, I'm no one. I'm a human just like you and I don't know what are you talking about? But it's just your imagination and I think something hits on your head that time that's why you're imagining impossible things. That's it." I meet my gaze at Drake… "I saw you today, you're…. you're not a human."
The memory of that accident flashes into my mind again, those bloody eyes and his hands were like a flame. "No, you can't be?" It's the third time I asked him and still no reply from him, he's looking at me but unable to say anything. "One more thing, why were you apologizing to me when we were at the aquarium?"
"What are you talking about Rosetta? I…. was… I don't know. He sighed, "I was just calming you down, and don't ask me again," Drake said with a sarcastic tone. He's hiding something, I know for sure. "No," I cut him off, "If you think that I'm imagining things, I'm not… no, I'm not." I fold my arms.
"I'm telling you only what I saw today," I said. "That's your illusion," he said as he let out a dry laugh! "I mean how is it possible? It's not a fantasy world so don't think too much."
I know it's impossible that he's gonna tell me anything so it's better to stay quiet but I know that he's hiding something very big from me.
