Chapter 18: Chapter 18
Rosetta
Toxic dreams filled with blood, shadows, and tragic memories echoed in my mind. James is my biggest mortal enemy and he's chasing me, he wants to destroy me —
He wants to kill me every day. Throbbing pain in my heart doesn't let me calm down and my nerves, do not even sleep. I open my eyes suddenly, terrifying... Because of this terrible dream.
The beautiful scent of a familiar fragrance filled my nose and my heart. It's like an alcoholic cigar. I looked up gently to see what was going on exactly. My mouth drops open when I see... A badass hot weirdo with a bare broad chest is sleeping while hugging me too tightly. I looked at myself without my pink shirt. My cheeks start flushing; my heart is beating so fast as I glance at his hot eye-catching body. My mouth is dry and I don't know what to do. How to calm me? How did that happen?
"Drake Snow!" I said as I sat. Drake is processing to wake him up by rubbing his goddamn hazel eyes and pink cheeks. He glances at me and after seeing me in complete shock he smirks.
"Hey, baby!"
I arched an eyebrow.
"Baby!?" I parrot his word. "Drake Snow you slept with me last night without.... You are complete... Drake Snow."
Drake starts laughing widely and makes me confused and angry at the same time.
"Drake? Would you like to explain what the hell you are doing without a shirt and with... me?"
"Practicing for later," Drake said devilishly while staring at my eyes.
"Excuse me?" I asked as I narrowed my eyes.
He smirked, "Baby girl I was just a little helping you out. Trust me nothing happens... You were burning with fever, it was a thunderstorm night so I can't call any doctor and I decided to—"
"Don't you have any better idea except this?" I asked. He arched an eyebrow his stupid hot eyes catches my lips as he smirked.
"Actually, I do have better ideas but we are not married so—" My heart skips beating as I saw him laughing. I grab a pillow and start hitting him.
"Hey, baby I was just—" When I hit him a third time he grabs me with my arms as he pulls me closer to him to stop. His hot breath and his powerful scent are drowning me. He's staring at me and so am I. "You're so heavenly hot… Rosetta Lodge!" Drake said as he winks. I slowly pull myself up to stand and so does he.
Standing in front of me without a shirt with this additive body makes my heart stop beating. He's only in his blue jeans at least... Thank God. I bit the inside of my lips as I went to the changing room and got dressed properly. After taking a quick shower I went straight to the kitchen to make breakfast for us. Drake is taking shower so I decided to make coffee first then breakfast. I made turkey salad sandwiches with a cappuccino.
Everything is ready just like I wanted.
I arranged the dishes and two cups of hot cappuccinos. My heart is still beating really fast as the memory of this morning flashes into my mind. He's hot. Shirtless badass. My heart starts tickling as my cheeks start blushing. I sighed as I glanced at Drake.
Coming out of the bathroom in his white shirt and jeans. Wet hair, dark pink totally kissable lips, and of course the addictive hazel eyes. I look away to avoid his glance at me. I bit the inside of my lip as I felt the soft tickling behind my neck. I turned back to look at him and he was already standing closer to me with a devilish smirk.
"Hey Baby!" I know... His sound... He's flirting as always.
I smiled, "Hey Daddy!" He arched an eyebrow as he laughed. I brought the sandwich plate and I placed it on the table. "Breakfast is ready."
"Hmm, it smells so delicious. Did you make that?"
I narrow my eyes, why is he so weird?
"No, my ghost did."
He raised his brows as he smiled.
"Oh thank God then."
My mouth drops open.... seriously.
"Why are you thanking God? Do you think that I don't know how to cook? Seriously?"
"Baby, I don't know about you but I know my sister... Chris... She's... Really bad at cooking. They don't tell her." Drake said like he's warning or wants me to keep this secret.
I smirked, "You wish." I said.
"Hey!"
"Alright enough talking, take a seat before breakfast gets cold," I said.
Drake takes a bite as he shuts his eyes. I glance at him with a knowing look.
"It's delicious." I smiled, "Thanks but I know."
After having this yummy breakfast Drake and I am about to go to school, Chris and Andrew are busy today.
They planned to come tomorrow. I'm a little scared to go out after last night but I can't show it... Not in front of Drake. I'm not the one who gets scared easily. I sighed as we headed out and then straight to the school. It's still raining. The cold rain with snow falling. Time flies without even realizing and then Chemistry class started. Drake and I am in the same class as Chemistry partners. He's sitting next to me clicking his pen continuously and it's so irritating.
"Drake! Stop it." I said as he looked at me and sighed.
"It's such a boring class," Drake said and I laughed.
"Drake, your response for every class is the same…. That's boring."
"Well... It is actually."
God, it's not that I don't like chemistry class but that weird and totally annoying chemicals and their studies make me angry. But I'm okay with it. At least these chemicals are not weird more than this boy who is sitting next to me. I smirked. He's such a... Weirdly cute.
"Why are you staring at these Chemicals?" I asked and he looked at me with a confusing look. "I'm bad at mixing chemicals." I laugh.
"Well, read the instructions and then mix it. Wait I read the instructions and you just mix it." Drake nods as we both get started. I read the instructions and he mixed it but then Mr. Drake accidentally slipped a chemical on our instruction paper and ruined it. My mouth drops open... God, he ruined it.
"Drake Snow!" I called his name with so much anger. "I am so sorry, I can fix it... Don't worry we still have five minutes left."
"Don't... Touch anything Drake. I'm going to bring another instruction paper and you.... Just sit." As I said that I headed to our teacher. She's finding another one and I'm just standing and waiting but then..... Oh my God! Dark blue and gray clouds filled this lab and everyone started coughing. Shit... Everybody is running to go outside even though I am. "Hey... Baby!"
I turned around to see its Drake covered in random chemicals with a grinning face.
"What did you do?" I asked. Can't understand what just happened here?
"He mixed the wrong chemical and blew into our lab." The teacher said that as I arched an eyebrow. I looked at Drake and he grins again and I swear I really want to hit on his face. Such a douchebag he is.
"I am really sorry for this bombardment. I really am." Drake apologized to her and she's just standing looking at us with arms folded.
"You... Drake Snow is going to attend the detention class for three hours and you too—" She looks at me as I bite the inside of my lip. "You are his partner so... You're going to attend it too." As she said that she walks away. I leave that place too and Drake is chasing me.
It's the first time; it's really the first time that I actually received detention just because of this weirdo douchebag. "Rose, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to create that mess... Really."
"Really? Seriously? I told you to do nothing so what possessed you to do that... Bombardment."
"Well, we don't have enough time and you were busy so... I decided to help."
"Help? Well, thank you so much Drake Snow for your help. So kind of you."
I sighed as I went inside the detention class. It's really big, a little cold here and skeletons, paintings, paintbrushes, and a lot of random stuff are here. I sat down and Drake too. Our teacher said that we need to clean and arrange all the stuff properly which is the worst for me. I looked at Drake with narrow eyes and he looked at me with a grin on his face.
"Stop grinning before I kill you," I said as I got started to arrange everything. Andrew video calls Drake and they two are talking while Drake is helping me.
I snatched Drake's phone, "Andrew, hi!"
"Oh, hi Rose."
"Is Chris with you?" I asked as Chris grabs Andrew's phone with a smile.
"I'm right here dear." I smiled.
"How are you?" I asked
"I'm good, how are you?"
"Well, I'm okay but I want to tell you something," I said as Chris glanced at Drake and then looked at me.
"What did you do Drake this time?"
Chris asked as Drake's mouth dropped open.
"I'll tell you, Chris! Your dear brother blew some dangerous chemicals at the lab which caused a huge bombardment and now we both are in the detention class."
Chris and Andrew exchanged their looks and looked at us back.
"Oh my God, Drake! Why are you so irresponsible?"
"I was just helping her, sister."
"Helping her?" Chris cuts him off. "She's receiving a detention class just because of you."
Drake grins again and this time I punch him on his arm. "Rose, I'm really sorry. He's... Stupid!"
"No, it's okay Chris. It's all his fault, not yours."
"Bro, wish I was there too. I really want to see that bombardment."
Drake laughs, "That's my brother."
"You two are seriously nonsense," Chris said as we all started laughing.
"By the way Drake, I'm still actually in shock that you blew our school lab. That's really..... Trouble.
"I know sis, but don't worry everything is fine now. It was an accident and we are attending the detention class too. So, nothing to worry about.
Chris sighs as she looks at me. "We are coming tomorrow because tomorrow is Sunday and we already take too many holidays from school so it's better to get back to our normal routine from Monday."
"That's great, Chris we are waiting for both of you," Drake said as they got offline.
The rest of the day flies like the wind as we both are in our places after having a long day attending the detention. Drake offered me to stay with him but I really want to give time to myself alone.
I did some of my random work in the kitchen and bedroom and then I went to sleep.
I'm really tired today. Yesterday was really hard for me and not only for me but for Drake's also. I'm still in a sleepy mode, eyes shut and my brain is working like a rollercoaster. I softly smiled when the memory of him shirtless twinkled in my mind. He's... Still weirdo but I don't care anymore. I slowly opened my eyes as I looked at my alarm clock hanging on a wall. It was 8:15. I shut my eyes to sleep for a little longer but knocking at my door shook me up as I turned myself to stare at the door.
"Who's this?" I asked with a little worried tone, what if it's James?
"It's me, Chris, open up."
Oh, Chris I almost forgot that today is Sunday and she's already here.
I open the door; it's Chris in a light pink dress, with little dark pink lipstick, and rolled raven hair in a cute bun. She looks beautiful and married of course. She hugs me tightly with a wide smile. I hugged her back with the same happiness.
"Oh, I missed you." I laughed.
"I missed you too Chris. You look beautiful Chris. When you came back?" She gently pulled away as we both entered inside.
"Aww, thank you, dear. We came early in the morning, maybe 6? Andrew and I were in Mansion, after meeting Drake and poking his nose for that mess I was so excited to meet you too."
"Well, you did the right thing to be here, and thanks for poking his nose."
Chris laughs, "Ah, it'll be fun. I'm used to it. Anyway, come in... Actually, I made a little plan for just two of us to hang out... The girl's time. What do you think?"
I chuckled, "It's a wonderful idea, give me some minute to get fresh, and then let's have some great time."
"Aww, I'm so excited. Okay, you get ready and I'll see you in my dorm."
I nodded as she smiled and went to her place. I take a quick shower, dry my hair, wear a lemon yellow frock with yellow sandals, and of course my favorite baby pink lipstick. I looked at myself one last time in the mirror. I'm all good. I grabbed my clutch after putting my phone, and lipstick inside it and went straight to her dorm.
"Girl! You look hot." Chris said as she smiled.
"Thank you, Chris."
Chris and I started baking a chocolate cake because we both are hungry too much. We really are enjoying it. I really love girl's time.
"So, how's your honeymoon?" I asked as Chris started blushing. She bites the inside of her lip.
"It was absolutely amazing and more romantic than I expected. It's so beautiful and Andrew... He's perfect and amazing."
I chuckle. "Aww, look, someone is blushing beautifully?"
Chris starts laughing and so am I.
"Well, you now know about me, how about you? Anything happened between you two love birds?"
Chris asked me as my heart started beating fastly and memories of that night fluttered in my mind and stomach.
"Nothing—" I clear my throat and don't know what to say. "Nothing happened." Chris arched an eyebrow, "Girl, I know that look when you said nothing happened it means something has definitely happened. Now tell me what is it?"
Chris asked me like she was teasing me. Chris is really so naughty but cute at the same time.
I started blushing as an unexpected smirk escaped from the corner of my lip.
"Ahem, Ahem!" Chris did it as I laughed.
"I was burning with the fever that night when you went for a honeymoon and he somehow helped me to get rid of this fever."
Chris takes a step toward me with a flirty smile.
"And what exactly did he do?"
I sighed as I made a pout face.
"He... took off his shirt to warm me."
Chris's mouth drops open and then she jumps with excitement. "You slept together? Oh my God, it's fantastic... No, it's wonderful."
"Hey, Chris nothing happened. He... He just helped me and I was unconscious. Nothing happened." Chris burst out into a big laugh.
"I'm really happy to hear that seriously. And you said nothing happened... Okay, I believe you." Chris gasps.
I smiled as my cheeks started burning. "You so naughty, Chris."
"Yeah, I know but I'm really happy. You should thank for your fever. At least you've got a little romantic scene too because of it."
"Maybe!" I said.
Time flies by like wind as morning turns into night. We enjoyed it a lot. Baking, girl's time and of course talking about boys. I like it! I'm in my dorm again, night is really so cold.
"Shoot!" Mr. Walker called me again. God, please help me to get rid of him.
I received the call and as usual, he asked me the same question about if anything mysterious happened and I said no. He forced me to tell the truth and this time he really made me out of control.
"I told you... Nothing happened so don't ever ask me again. Mr. Walker, please don't irritate me and make me angry. I'm so done and I'm not gonna receive your calls anymore.
Because I'm so done and tired." After that, I cut his call and lay down on my bed with my eyes shut. I'm so freaking tired of these toxic people.
Mr. Walker and James really want to destroy me and I'm trying my best to….. Survive.
My heart felt so heavy. It's like something around me is not good.
Why am I feeling that way? What's wrong with me and with my heart? It's eclipse night. Full moon eclipse with such the worst snow and rain falling together. My body is so cold and I'm shivering.
I turned around to see the time it was past midnight three and I know that I'm sleepy but it feels like something around me is bad. I'm wondering why I can't sleep. I look at the window and watch snow falling and then wait, is that Chris? I saw her going alone on the south side of Winchester's forest, where we aren't allowed to go but why is she going there? It's midnight; anyway, I wore my jacket quickly and went after her.
I'm chasing her without thinking and then the unthinkable I saw her fighting with oh no! Not again, I was right that day, monsters do exist and she's fighting with monsters, right in front of me.
She's not human anymore she shifted herself into…. I don't know all I see is that she's burning; her full body is covered by bright light. What is she? Her eyes are golden bright and she's using some sort of magic powers to kill that monster.
I want to run… I'm really scared I heard her screaming, she's in that monster's grip, she can't do anything at that time so yeah, I can't leave her like that.
She's my best friend and I can't let her die.
So, I decided to go and help her. I threw a stone on the monster's head to distract him. He throws her to the floor and looks at me. "Rose, what are you doing here?" Chris asked loudly.
"What does it look like I'm doing here? I'm trying to save you." I said as my throat got dry, it's like I lost my breath for a minute. First, that monster wants to kill Chris, and then yeah, it's me. "Run… don't stare at him just run Rose….. Just keep distracting him and I use my powers to kill him."
I nodded and did what she just said, he's chasing me and I was running and then I saw Chris she was trying her best to kill him but that monster doesn't look like he's ever gonna give up fighting.
That ugly monster throws her to the ground. I stop myself, she's in danger I can't let her die. She's my friend after all.
I saw Chris, she fell to the ground unable to fight anymore, "Get out of here Rose," Chris said. Chris warned me but I want to stay with her, I want to fight but…... uh oh! He's after me. It looks like I'm the next target for him after Chris.
I ran again trying my best to keep myself safe from him, but I stopped myself right in front of Winchester's River. I didn't realize that I'm already out of the forest. If I didn't jump in a river, I'll die either way. "Grrrrrrrrrr…." It's the voice of the monster coming from behind me; I take a deep breath and jump into that brutally cold water.
When I jumped into a river it's like someone daggers me with thousands of ice knives into my spine, I hardly open my eyes and keep trying to hold my breath but the thing is that he's still following me. I tried to swim because it's the only way to get rid of it, but then I realized that keeping swimming turned him into dust. It's like he's made of sand or whatever. I'm not good at swimming and I know that I can't hold my breath any longer but I want to kill him. He's slowly losing his body parts first legs and then the rest of the parts. When I turned around he was gone, that's what I wanted.
I can't believe it but I did it. The next thing that I know my whole vision was starting to blur. My head is spinning, I saw her... Again, covered in blood I know it's my vision, I know it's not real but my heart is shattered now. Dying here is much better than marrying James. It's better. There's only darkness I see.
I can feel it when someone holds me from my back and lifts me up, I don't know who he is.
"Rose? Rose? Wake up you'll be okay just stay with me, Rose?" He did something to me, I don't know what but it's like he's healing me. Suddenly I start breathing again; I open my eyes, "Drake?"
"I'm here Rose, I'm here," he lifted my head on his lap. "Seriously, what on earth possessed you to jump like that?" I sighed, "I think that monster?" I replied.
"Rose, who are you? I never saw such a brave and strong girl like you before, who are you?"
I parted my lips... "I'm just a girl."
He smirked! "Just a girl? right—" He kissed on my forehead, I closed my eyes feeling that sweet kiss, my heart beating so fast and I could feel butterflies in my stomach. It's like he washes all my pain away.
"You scared me… so much. Are you okay?" He whispered like a soft sweet lullaby. I nodded, "Yeah, I'm okay. What about Chris? Is she okay?" I asked. The last time when I saw her, she was not in a good condition.
"She's okay… don't worry, you saved her. When that monster was chasing you she called us." He's tugging my hair from his fingers and it gives me a shiver but I like it anyway. "Are you okay?" I nodded, "Yeah, I'm okay Drake." He lifted me up from his lap and looked at my eyes with affection, care, craving, and love.
"I don't think I need to hide anything from you anymore Rose, because you already know a little." He closed his eyes; he was shining like the sun. The huge light I saw that encircles us is bright enough to make my eyes shut. When I opened my eyes we were in the dorm again. This time, I didn't ask anything from him. I'm just in a damn shock.
"Rose," I heard my name said, Chris….. She hugs me so tightly.
"Oh, honey thank God you are okay. I'm worried sick about you." I give her a squeeze on her back, "Don't worry Chris I'm fine."
"Thank you, Rose, except for running you fought like a warrior." Andrew thanked me with so much spark and joy in his soft eyes.
"Yeah, what you did for me tonight ….. Was amazing thanks for helping me and saving me.
I'll be dead soon if you never came back to me."
I smiled, "don't thank me, it's okay, Chris it's what friends do for each other," she hugged me again "You are absolutely right."
I have no idea what just happened. I'm trying to figure it out but still, I want answers. It's really the first time when I'm actually happy to see my dorm.
"Chris, do you still want to hide the truth?" I asked.
She smiled softly, "No, not anymore actually I want to tell you the truth, but not now, tomorrow."
"Tomorrow!?" I parrot her word, "Seriously?"
"Just give us tonight Rose, just give us one night… okay I promise I'm gonna tell you everything," Chris said and I understand that she needs some time to sort out this problem.
"Yes, Rose, We all had too much for one night and we all need some rest," Drake said as I understandingly nodded.
"Good night," Andrew and Drake said as they disappeared like a wind. Chris goes to her bedroom and I'm here, back on my bed waiting for tomorrow. My body is still aching. I'm also really tired. I sighed! Rose, your life can't be normal…. No, Not a chance.
Now, I have a serious question who is Drake? That day, when I saw him... his eyes were blood red and he protected me with a shield…. The round big shield. The first time when I saw him I fell in love with him, I fell in love for the first time in eighteen years of my life but now after everything… Anyway, whatever it is... tomorrow I will find out, but for now, I want a good sleep.
Drake
Tonight was terrible. Just because of us. Rose is in danger too. I can't let her drag in that hell. She's innocent and deserves to live her happy life. I almost lost her tonight and I can't afford to take a risk again. I lay down on my bed and started to stare at the dream catcher.
It's moving beautifully when the wind blows. Andrew knocks and then enters my room walking like he needed to go to the bathroom.
I smirked, "What happened?"
"I called Chris, just to make sure that they two are okay. She wants us to get together at ice cream mania tomorrow because Rose wants to know everything."
"What are you worrying about Drake?" Andrew asked.
I sighed, "I'm worried because she's a human and we are the strongest and most deadly creatures on earth, that's why I'm worried. Damn it! I never wanted to tell her the truth." I said. "So you want to let herself live in the dark? Drake, is that what you want?"
"No, I didn't mean that but think about it, we all are already in terrible danger, I just... I just don't want to drag her in that mess that's it."
"I understand brother, but we can't do anything now, it's too late. It's better we should sleep because tomorrow's gonna be a big day for all of us."
Andrew places his hand on my shoulder, "everything will be okay, don't worry about it, and sleep now."
"Fine, good night Andrew," I said. "Good night to you too Drake."
Andrew's gone; I'm worried sick about everything. Everything. I shut my eyes, trying my best to sleep but I smiled as I open my eyes and stared at the rooftop thinking about her beautiful hot body with an addictive amazing scent, her soft heartbeat like a lullaby, her dark red hair, puffy dark pink full kissable lips and her sparkling sapphire eyes like thousands of bright stars in the galaxy. She's perfect. Absolutely gorgeous. Now I'm sleeping while thinking about her.
