MARRIED BY THE DEAL

By Anne Lynch

INTRODUCTION

I looked down at my daughter who lay asleep in my arms.I blinked several times to make the tears go away. “ We have some news regarding your daughter Mrs. Cohen. A group of doctors ran tests and we still haven’t figured out what’s wrong with your daughter’s development,” the nurse said. “ Can you do anything?” I asked tears falling down my cheeks. “ No she only has a few days left, I’m sorry,”My heart squeezed the more I thought about it was like a knife had pierced my heart. The nurse quietly left the room.

I squeezed my only daughter in my arms crying so hard.The hospital room door quietly opened.I looked up to see the most famous pediatrician, Dr.Callister. “ Doctor Callister you have to help me!” I yelled squeezing his arm.” I’ll do anything just say it and I’ll do it!” I sobbed.” Let me take her.I’ll see what I can do rerun the test and come back, but to save your daughter we need a deal,” “Anything just help her!” I begged.He calmly took the baby from my hands. 30 minutes later he came back with her.“Here you go healthy as ever,” he said.I was smiling so hard. My daughter was alive and well.Dr. Callister cleared his throat I looked up at him. “Now for our deal,”

16 YEARS LATER

“Umm Nicole… can you come here please?” My joined my mom in her room. “ What’s up?” I asked sitting down on the cotton bed. “ Well… how do I say this? You were born very weak than other newborns. You didn’t have as much strength as them. You were underweight and not breathing right.” I nodded my head. “There was only one doctor who could save you,and he said I had to do a deal to save you, and ……...that deal was you had to marry his son,” I jumped up from the bed. “ You have got to be kidding me!” I yelled. I stormed out of her room. “Honey I’m sorry it was the only way to save you!” “ I’d rather be dead then marry a total stranger I don’t even know!” I yelled. “ I wasn’t gonna let you go like that!” she screamed walking down the hall.

I went to my room to see a tall old guy in a suit , and short old lady in a black dress, and a young boy in khaki pants, sperrys, and a white polo shirt. My mouth was open wide. Cause the people in my room were my fiance, father in law,and mother in law. My mom met up with me in my door frame. “ Honey I’m sorry, I should have told you earlier,” I shook my head.

My eyes were stinging cause I had tears wanting to fall.The young boy looked annoyed.

“ Nicole, I think you might know who we are,” the lady said. I nodded and smiled. “ We are very glad to have you in our family,” she said. “ For now call me Nancy,” she came up and hugged me. The guy in the suit was all smiles. Which I found to lighten the mood. “ I’m the doctor who saved you, and my have you grown Nicole!” I smiled.

“ Thank you,” I replied. “ Call me Charles,” he shook my hand. The boy looked at me glaring. I did too cause I wasn’t going to marry a total jerk at the altar. He had dirty blond hair, blue eyes, and he looked like he had come out of Sharp magazine and he looked so hot! He looked at me hard, glaring, got up and left. My mom spoke up, “ That’s Derrick your fiance,” I nodded calmly, but on the inside I knew wasn’t gonna like him.

“ Well Nicole the limo will be here to pick you up at 6:00 am to take you to the airport,” Charles told me. “ See you then dear,” Nancy said hugging me. After they left mom and I talked about what had happened when I was born.She had met Derrick five times. Twice when he was a kid and three times during a dinner. He didn’t sound so bad but the way he presented himself today he sounded like a different person. I cried because I realized I was leaving my mom.She comforted me and said she would visit even though Miami and Potomac were really far from each other.We ate dinner, went to the mall, and watched a movie together.Making me forget about tomorrow.

I woke up feeling refreshed. I looked around. I was on a plane. I was on a PLANE! Derrick was sitting across from me.Smirking. I was in my PJ’s. “ What am doing here!” I shouted. He laughed. “ Flying with me to your new home,” “How did I get on here?” I asked. “ I carried you to the limo and onto the plane…..bridal style,” I laughed a phony laugh. “ Well after yesterday I don’t think I want to marry a ignorant, stupid,ass, bratty, jerk like you,” I said. He just smiled. “ None taken, I was having a bad day,” I smiled slightly. “ So let’s get to know each other, I’m Derrick. I am very popular, I am the football captain, my favorite color is blue,I love all animals, and I live for Chipotle,” I laughed and he did to. “I’m Nicole I love purple, Starbucks,pandas,electronics,I am a soccer player and yeah, that’s me,”

He looked interested in my life which made me laugh again. “Well you should go change, flight is almost over and we are getting breakfast in the town,” I got up he handed me a bag of clothes. I accepted and walked to the bathroom. I showered, brushed my teeth, did my hair, applied make up, and got dressed I wore a white lace sweater, ripped blue shorts, sandles , my Michael Kors bag, and hoop earrings. I stepped out. The plane had landed and I didn’t even notice.The I thought about Derrick he might have been with a bunch of girls and is using me. I warned myself.

Derrick and I went to place in D.C. called the Corner Bakery. I got a coffee and muffin.Derrick got a latte and croissant. It was good. We did some sightseeing at the White House, Jefferson Memorial, African American History Museum,and the Washington Monument. We went shopping.Derrick had given me a diamond ring which I gladly accepted

We got back in the car at 5. “ Did my dad tell you about the wolf pack meeting tonight,” “ What! No!” He looked shocked. “Ok so my family and I are werewolves, tonight is a full moon and we hunt it’s a ritual we also look for our mates,” I was now the one shocked and angry cause werewolves weren’t real. “ You liar! You expect me to believe a lie like that! You know I was right all along you a jerk a….. Bastard.. You expect every girl to believe what you say!” The limo had stooped.

I opened the door and ran tears burning my eyes. He had lied to me! That sneak. Derrick ran behind me calling out my name. I ran faster than I ever did in my life.I threw the ring to the ground. I suddenly found myself in the woods,in the deep,dark,woods. I stopped. I was panting, hard.I suddenly heard voice. I turned around to see who was there. I then saw quick dark shadows. Then a tall, pale, hot figure with sharp teeth was in front of me. “ Well,well,well looks like we have a small scared human here,” “ Leave me alone jerk,” I shouted. “ I just want something,” he had grabbed my arm.I slapped him. When he got up he looked and I mean really angry.I felt him grab my neck choking me. “ You little deadbeet girl,” He slammed me into and opposite tree. At that point my head was bleeding a lot. “ time to finish you off,”I saw someone take out the person trying to kill me and then everything went black

I woke up on a hospital bed.I tried to look around turning my head. It really hurt. I decided to lie back down. I managed to take a look though.I saw the curtain light blue ones, two chairs,a beepy thing machine,on my arm was a needle in my veins that connected to a machine, a glass of water, get well cards,balloon,flowers and a box of chocolate. Then somebody walked in.

It was Dr.Callister. “Well hello Nicole! Good to see you up,” I smiled. “ What happened to me?” I asked, curiously. “ You were strangled,and you had a concussion and your head was bleeding a lot,” he said sitting down with a clipboard in his hands. “Will I get to come back to your place?” “Yes you are leaving in 30 minutes with Mrs.Callister, she’ll take you out to eat, shop, meet someone new,” I thought about it. and Mrs Callister and I really didn’t have much of a relationship, but she seemed nice really nice.

I nodded. A nurse came into my room helping me walk cause I had been in the hospital for two whole months. I showered, brushed my teeth, and dressed. I wore nice blue jeans,sandals, and a little loose green shirt. I looked fine. Really me. When I came out of the bathroom Mrs.Callister was there. She hugged me. I hugged back. “ Sweetie I’m glad you are all right,” I smiled brightly. “ Well I hope you are ready for today cause we are going to have fun,” Then Dr.Callister re- entered the room. He look sternly at his wife. “ Did you tell her?” he asked. “ I was getting there,” I was really confused.

Then he faced me all serious like. “ Nicole we need to tell you about the whole incident,” we all took seats. “ Nicole you’re a werewolf,” she said. I opened my mouth. Wide!That’s what Derrick had told me that before I left the car running. I still wasn’t sold. “ Nicole ummm the person you got attacked by was a vampire,” That’s why he looked pale and had sharp teeth! “And we can read other wolves minds,” said Dr. Callister smiling. “ Whoa! So you can know what I’m saying anytime?!” I asked shocked I stood up suddenly from my chair. “ Yes, but don’t worry only when you don’t lock your ,” Mrs. Callister replied.

“ I also gave you the power pills when you were young at birth, so you have the strength of a werewolf,” Dr.Callister said . My jaw dropped. I was shocked,curious,a little bit mad,and thankful. Mrs. Callister put her hand on my leg,gently. “ You should’ve know before this. Take these pills they are the wolf strength,” I took the tablet of eight white pills.We talked a little bit more. Then Dr.Callister had to treat another patient,so Mrs.Callister and I left. I thought about me being a werewolf,me being wrong about the werewolf thing,me apologizing to Derrick. Derrick!

We were in the limo, I had sooooo many questions about the werewolf thing, so I asked Nancy; Mrs. Callister. “ Mrs. Callister how will I turn to werewolf form?” She looked intrigued. “ Well… you’ll feel a tiny pinch than hair will grow all over you, your body will change its form, and your muscles will tense,” “ Ok, I guess it’s not all bad,” I shrugged smiling. She beamed at me. The limo stopped. We were in front of store called ZARA. It looked like where Kim Kardashian would shop. We entered the store; music blasted on the speakers. Clerks wore black attire and looked preppy,chic,and sophisticated all in one look. “ Thalia dear I hope you have
