Critter Volume 2 Chapter 6


~Flashback to yesterday~

Warren held his hand against Rachel’s throat “WHY ARE YOU HERE! WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH LENA!?” he yelled. Rachel looked at Warren “there’s a reason why the war between Sirens and Mer people all of a sudden began again, this war has been quiet for more then 50 years until she came along” Rachel pointed to Warren’s window where Lena stood.


~Flashback~

Rachel stood there, the wind flowing through her long sandy brown hair as she thought. What if this doesn’t work? She had to try, something about her was not right, she wasn’t like other people. She then took the step, and fell 17 stories down an old industrial building. When she hit the bottom, blood spewed everywhere. Luckily nobody was around. She then stood up and there was brain squeezing out of a crack in her head, it immediately got patched back up inside her. With in seconds she was brand new.

“That was quite impressive” a man standing in a black suit stood across from her clapping. “WHO ARE YOU?” Rachel yelled, nobody had ever seen her heal before. “Your young, when did you leave them?” “who?” Rachel asked “your family” the man replied. Rachel was only 16 years old and she was only just beginning to figure out what she was “do you know what’s wrong with me?” Rachel asked “nothing is wrong with you, everything is right with you” the man reached in his bag and pulled out a big folder full of paper “here take this, everything you will need to help you through this will be in here”

~--------~

Warren could tell Rachel was telling the truth “when I opened the folder, there were pictures of people, men and woman who were like me, so I just picked one and packed my shit and left” Warren thought for a second “you mean Clayton?” he asked “well actually Clay wasn’t in it, but Kelly was” she replied. “Since then I became good friends with them, and when they left St. Thomas I needed to get them back” she continued to explain herself “WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH HER! WHY ARE YOU STALKING LENA?” insisted Warren “It’s not Lena I’m concerned about…it’s her baby”.



~Present time~

Mitch is standing in front of the invisible bar holding the gun, Lena, Warren and Lauren stood in awe by their vehicles. Mitch cocked back the rifle “LEAVE! I DON’T WANT ANY TROUBLE FROM YOU ANYMORE!” he was looking at Warren “LISTEN I’M SORRY ABOUT – “ Warren was cut off by Mitchell firing one round into the dirt “YOU RISKED EVERYTHING THAT MEANT ANYTHING TO ME! THIS BAR IS ALL I HAVE LEFT AND I WON’T GET INVOLVED IN SOME STUPID WAR ONLY TO LOSE MY LAGECY! I’M NOT ONE OF YOU! SO LEAVE!” Mitchell then stomped back inside his bar and locked the doors.

Lauren drove over to the hospital after getting a call from Clayton about the accident. Kelly and Rachel were already there. When she arrived she turned to enter Clayton’s room, she immediately leant down to give him a hug “do they know who hit you?” asked Lauren “yes, it was Kyle, the butcher” Lauren looked at the pile of dirty clothes he had changed out of after the crash, they were covered in red. “HOLY, IS THAT BLOOD?” she yelled frantically “no, funny thing actually, it’s paint. Apparently Kyle had a bunch in his truck and when we crashed he-“ Clayton noticed that Lauren looked like she saw a ghost “Lauren?” he asked as she ran out of the room. Lauren ran down the hallway looking into every room to see where Kyle was, she peered into the small window of a closed door and there he was, laying on the bed staring out the window, se kicked open the door and Kyle turned his head immediately “YOU!?” screamed Lauren as she threw Clayton’s paint covered shirt on his lap.

Mitch was walking around his empty bar and he collapsed into a leather booth, he reached in his pocket and grabbed the picture of his parents from his pocket. He glared at them when he had an overwhelming feeling to turn around; he was then staring at a photo that hung on the wall since they opened. A picture of Mitchell on opening day with Lauren, Lena and the whole gang starred back at him. He then realized he might have made a mistake. He then began to tear up, he remembered how he just kicked Jordan out of the car like that. A scary thought then entered Mitchells head, if Jordan ran away because of his heartbreak towards Lena, then now that he’s a vampire, Lena is probably in danger. He stood up and grabbed his gun and turned to leave when he noticed his tears that fell from his cheek didn’t quite hit the ground, they were hovering over the table. He then turned around to see all the furniture that wasn’t nailed down floating above the ground. He was confused but wasted no time, he needed to see if Lena was okay.

Jordan was running so much through his head, but the only thing that mattered and the only thing powering him through it all was the thought of getting back to Lena. Next thing you know, he’s standing on her doorstep. He takes the key that was hidden under the ceramic owl on the porch and enters the house. He crept through the house seeking his love. He saw a baby crib set up in the living room and a tear of blood fell to the ground. It only motivated him more. The sound of the front door handle turning broke the silence. Lena and Warren then came through “Hunny we have to hurry, visiting hours for the hospital are only for another hour and I want to see Clay!” Lena said as she kicked off her shoes.

Jordan wondered if they would ever notice he was in the room. Until Lena looked up and saw him standing in front of her. Warren lunged at Jordan after seeing the blood on his face. Of course no one knew he was now a vampire, he was much stronger then a Merman. He threw Warren against the wall smashing picture frames. Lena let out a scream and Jordan rushed to her neck and placed his hand around her “now we can be together” he said as Mitchell barged in the front door and smashed him over the head with the bottom end of the rifle. He became unconscious.

“I made a mistake” Mitchell explained, “I never should have done what I did, I was just filled with so much emotion and I wanted to be safe.” Mitchell told Warren and Lena about the deal with Traci. “Mitchell, you never should have gone to that witch! They always ask for something in return right? Well this time she took your powers, but you took Jordan from her! Now the deal is broken, she will be coming after you now to collect what’s hers.” Said Warren. Jordan then became conscious, he was tied to a chair by silver “LET ME GO!” yelled Jordan “NOT UNTIL YOU HEAR US OUT!” Lena screamed back “I love you Jordan, I always will, but I’m with Warren now. You disappeared and we fell In love and if you care about me at all then you will accept that!” Lena then began to cry “so you go and do this to yourself for what? For me?” she asked, “I was sick of being powerless, I saw you and Warren together and I felt weak” he replied. Lena then got on her knees and whispered, “you were never powerless, you made me feel loved, you really did however relationships die and ours just didn’t work. It had nothing to do with Warren” Jordan’s tears of blood didn’t startle Lena in the slightest “and we will always be friends no matter what you are” she placed her hand on his and began taking off the silver. Jordan stood up “I’m sorry” he said. Warren reached out his hand to shake Jordan’s and Jordan shook back “I need your help” said Warren “Join our army”.

Lauren is standing over Kyle’s bed “WHY!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!?” Lauren yelled “YOU KILLED NATASHA! SHE WAS MY FRIEND! SHE WAS THE ONLY OTHER SHIFT-“ Kyle immediately shut up. Lauren then caught on “ARE YOU A SHIFTER TOO?” she asked “yes”. Officer Stackhouse was standing outside the door, hearing every word.
