Still Me...Maybe - Chapter 4
Final chapter of book 1. Stay tuned for book 2! Phoebe meets up with AJ.
"What's going on?" She cried sliding closer to me. The cell wasn't even tall enough for us to stand in and the blood on Tracey's head was trickling down, making me slightly hungry.
"Tracey... get on the other side of the cell." I begged sliding myself away from her, I couldn't kill her, she'd been so nice to me when I first got to Michigan. She sat up and gave me a questioning look.
"Why? Brianna, why are you moving away from me?" She wiped the blood off her cheek and looked at me concerned.
"Are you squeamish with blood?" She asked. I nodded and looked away. I heard footsteps and my head snapped up while Tracey whimpered.
"Enjoying yourselves I hope." Cooper joked. He stopped walking when he reached the cell and knelt down to face us.
"I'm surprised you haven't eaten your friend by now, she is very tasty, I tasted it already... you are very strong-willed aren't you baby girl Phoebe?" He giggled reaching in the cell to grab my chin. I growled at him and felt my teeth grow.
"Get away from us!" I shouted and heard Tracey gasp. I was so shocked that she had seen my vampire face that it changed back. I turned to face her and she began to cry with her body curled up in a ball while sitting down.
"What are you?" She whispered between tears. I crawled over to her and sat beside her.
"Vampire... he's one too, but I'm more safe than he is." I told Tracey as I held her close to me. Cooper giggled as he left the room.
"Your name's not Brianna is it?" Tracey asked me that night, I shook my head.
"No... it's Phoebe." I whispered feeling guilty over the lies I had told Tracey since I'd met her.
*BANG* *CRASH* *BANG*
Tracey and I jumped and looked around.
"Who's there?" I asked as Tracey and I shifted ourselves on the ground so Tracey was away from the bars and I was in front of her.
"Phoebe?" I heard someone call.
"AJ?" I yelled shimmying to the front of the bars to see what was going on. I saw someone face down on the ground with another person sitting on their back. The person on top stood up and ran to the bars. I saw AJ's face and smiled.
"Behind you!" I shouted when I saw Cooper had gotten up. AJ turned and got hit in the face with a trash can lid.
"Hey!" I scolded Cooper. He turned to me and growled before walking past the cell to get to AJ but I grabbed his ankle and he fell flat on his own face.
"Payback's a... not very nice thing." I told him a bit snobbish.
It took ages for the fight to end and I continued to interfere by grabbing the ankles and legs of Cooper whenever possible so AJ had more time to be on the offense. When the fight did end after AJ locked Cooper up in another cell he had found, AJ came back to us.
"I don't know where the keys are." Tracey said scared. AJ and I looked at her and smiled as he grabbed the lock and snapped it off. Tracey and I were quick to get out of the cell and run towards the exit with AJ following behind. Since AJ had driven his car here, we drove to my place and after Tracey got out I turned to AJ after he switched the car off and kissed him on the lips, at first he was shocked but after the shock wore off he began to kiss me back. "Thanks for saving me." I smiled then got out of the car and opened the front door, Tracey wolf-whistled at me and I blushed.
"Shh!" I hissed then walked inside first.
We settled inside and Tracey wouldn't stop staring at AJ.
"So, are you the one who turned Br... Phoebe?" Trace asked fidgeting.
"Yeah, and I don't regret it. She's not a snob that only cares about herself anymore." AJ smiled at me.
"Shut up, I wasn't that bad... ok maybe a little bit nasty, but some people deserved it." I glared at him but when he and Tracey laughed at me I decided it was funny enough to laugh at because that wasn't who I was anymore, I'd left that person behind.
