My Guardian Angels (Chapter Eleven)
Finally got off my lazy butt and wrote! I hope you guys enjoy!
So, I was on the floor, unable to move, guessing the warm feeling was blood, and I guess I flew out of the car, landing here, bloody and immobile, seeing green and brown. So I was on the forest floor, and the sun felt warm on my fingertips, the rest of me cool. "There she is!" I barely heard through muffled ears, it sounded like Agana.
I was rolled over onto my back "Madeline!" I heard yelled. I tried to move my lips, to twitch my hands, anything to let them know I was conscious. I quickened my breath, barely able to do that, breathing S.O.S. in Morse code. But everything went black, my breathing quickly making me go unconscious. I went in and out of consciousness, by the time I'd get my eyes open, everything would go black again, catching blurry glimpses of trees, and sky, and grass.
"Maddie!?" Joseph yelled, as I lay by a rushing river. My head fell to the side, I saw the river, crystal and blue, and amazing against the incredible green of the crisp grass.
"Joe?" I barely mumbled, it came out slurred, as I tried to control my head and body. I rolled into the river, shocked by the cold, refreshing feeling, I clasped my hands on the river edge, my hands sliding off the edge, as I was shoved down the rush of water, my arm being grabbed by someone as I was pulled out.
"Madeline." Joe said. He had a minor scratch on his forehead but that was it. He was hovering over me. I was breathing quick shallow breaths and didn't feel like replying. I rolled onto his lap, using him as leverage to shove against with my whole body like jelly, leaning against him, and breathing slowly. "Agana, everyone is here right? Abelia too?"
"Yes. Are you not paying attention?" Agana said impatiently, her tough vampire skin unharmed, and what had been harmed, healing fast, if not already healed. I tried to get control of myself, started tilting away from Joseph and I felt his arm going around me, supporting me. I turned my face into his shoulder.
"I'm paying attention, but Maddie is really hurt. She just hurled herself into a river." He said, picking me up into his arms.
"I'm-I'm fine, put-put-put me da-down..." I said to Joseph.
"Not happening." He said, sitting against a tree and putting me in his lap.
"My head hurts." I said, leaning against him. His arms were wrapped around me, and my strength was non-existent, so I just laid there. He still smelled good, like that farm smell mixed with great cologne... Oh God, I must have hit my head hard.
"What are you two doing?" Abelia said, her legs covered in scrapes, and her arm in a wrap, probably done by Gran, broken.
"Was I hurt the worst?" I asked as Gran came down, wrapping my leg in a bandage, saying it was broken.
"Yes." Allen-Rae said, pacing and rubbing his wrapped head.
"What happened?" Joe asked, still holding me. I knew I was blushing now, no doubt.
"The Male knew we we're coming. They obviously decided it would be funny to cast a spell that made us crash and later ass down in the middle of nowhere." Agana said. "Also, I could just bite you, it should heal you."
"Bite us?" I asked.
"Yes." Agana said, picking up Agana's wrist, and biting deep into it. Her cuts disappeared and she unwrapped her splinted arm, flexing it. Agana went, biting everyone's wrist, but when she came to me she said, "I wanna bite your neck. Will you protest to this?"
"Why my neck?" I asked, Joe squeezing me against him. Yep, I was definitely blushing my ass off.
"You already have a mark there, having two vampire bites in separate spots means, one more and you're like me. That's why I'm biting wrists because they are more accessible."
"I'm still learning, I guess. Ok, then. Don't wanna turn into a vamp now do I?" I shoved my hair off my neck, and she bit. I mumbled out an "Ow" but it wasn't that painful. When she was done I rubbed it and asked "Um, well, what about our supplies?"
"We cast a spell that brought it all here." Gran said, pointing to her husband. I nodded.
"You alright?" Joe whispered in my ear, as everyone talked about what they were gonna do, saying kids shouldn't worry too much, but Abelia complaining until they let her talk too.
"Yeah," I mumbled trying to scoot off him, but he held me there. "Why am I on your lap?" I smiled up at him.
"Well, first it was for medical purposes, and now..." He blushed, smiling a cheesy grin at me. I leaned into him, brushing hair out of his face.
"Well, if that's the reason, then ok!" I laughed. Joe didn't have to ask me to a dance, or kiss me, or anything, but just him holding onto me was all that mattered. Just his touch was electrifying. And that's all I needed right now "I'm so..." I started to say, becoming serious. But I was at a loss for words for once in my life, my wit not withstanding. But when I finally did find a word that described how I felt, there was no way I would ever say it aloud. I would never admit I was scared.
I'd never truly felt scared. I'd always been alone, independent. I was always trying to catch on to some routine some new parent created. I was always a confused, but smarter, never afraid, but always alone.
Those are some serious oxymoron.
The point is, I didn't really understand anything about the situations I was in. I still didn't really understand anything. But I caught on quick. Yet right now, I was just a confused little girl, recovering from injuries, and all I was completely sure about was that there was a boy, who was holding me, that was nice and kind, and you know what? I wasn't going to pull away, for the first time in my life. And I did that thing I had started doing lately, the one where I feel better, and my eyes get all wet and puffy and red, and let out water until my mouth feels hot and moist and sticky, and I can barely breathe. I did that thing, curling into a ball on Joe's lap, as he said it would all be all right.
Even though I knew it never would be ok. Not until we stopped the people who ruined all our lives.
