Missing You - Samara Fitzgerald (english novels for beginners .TXT) 📗

get out. We don’t know who could have made it in here and roaming the hallways right now.” Logan said as he handed Isabella to me. As soon as the elevator door opens, Logan starts leading us slowly out the elevator. Jessica and Alina stood on both side of me. Josh was standing behind me. Isabella starts to whimper and she held tightly to me as we were walking down the hallway. I couldn’t believe that this was happening right now. I tried to stay calm for Izzy, but my heart was racing. I’m not ready for this. Venomar must really want me dead if he is doing this war now. The alarm is going off so loud. As soon as we turned the corner, two guys attacked Logan to the ground. They look like the same men who attacked at the school. Isabella screamed and Jessica and Alina moved us back. Josh pulled one of the men off of Logan. As soon as Logan was up, he looks so angry. With his hands down, his claws automatically came out his fingertips and he start tearing into one of the guys’ throat. The guy dropped down on the floor, blood gushing out of the wound, and now dead. Josh hands start to glow a whitish blue as he lifted his hands and put one hand on the other guy’s head as he stood up. The man starts screaming in agony.

“What is happening?” I asked.

“Josh is bringing pain to him.” Alina said. The man fell to his knees as blood start coming from his mouth, nose, and ears. Isabella hid behind my hair as I closed my eyes. After a few seconds, it was quiet. All I can hear is the alarm. I open my eyes and see the two guys laying there lifeless. Logan was back to his normal self, but he still had blood on his shirt.

“We need to hurry out of here. Now.” Josh said. So we all ran down the hall until we get to this huge room, which was full. The lights were dim with red lights and everyone was panicking. Mom and Sita were trying to calm everyone. I put Isabella down and walked up to Mom and Sita.

“The war wasn’t supposed to start today! Both of you lied!” I yelled.

“Ebony, please calm down.” Mom said

“No! Venomar wasn’t supposed to be here. He’s doing this on purpose. He really wants me dead so badly.” I said as tears start running down my cheek.

“It was supposed to start tomorrow. We had everything planned.” Sita said.

“Oh really. Then you are not doing a pretty good job. It seems more like the war is happening right now.” I said angrily.

“Ebony watch your mouth right now. We know you are scared right now, but you don’t have to be disrespectful.”

“I’m sorry. I’m just not ready.” Mom walked up to me and gave me a hug as I cried.

“Now Ebony, I need you to stop crying right now.” Mom said as she wiped the tears from my face as she looked me in my eyes. She looks so serious right now. That’s when I noticed that mom’s clothes and hair were soaking wet. I breathed slowly as I tried to calm down.

“Are you calm now?” She asked.

“Unfortunately, yes but mom, what happened to you?”

“We went outside to see what had happened, causing the alarm to go off, and it turns out that it is pouring down raining outside. But ignore all of that. Now I know you do not want to hear this but you have to stay strong. We all were caught by surprise and apparently Venomar is here now. We cannot do anything about that but we can calm down and do what we can do best, which is defeat Venomar.”

“Okay. I’m sorry. I got this.” Mom smiled at me as she turns around when someone taps her on her shoulder.

“Mrs. Jenkins, we can’t seem to get the computer for surveillance to turn back on. Power is off all around the building there is nothing else I can do to make this computer turn back on.”

“That’s what I thought. Well thank you Chris for the update. I can take it from here.” Mom said as she walked over to the computer. People moved out of her way as she stood in front of the computer. I don’t know what she is about to do but I never really know anything anymore. Mom stood in front of the computer and I watched as she took a deep breath and lifted her hands towards the screen. She looked so focused on what she was doing, which I really didn’t know what it was. I haven’t really finished the book. After a while, the computer came on and everyone started cheering.

“Everyone, there is no time for us to be cheering. We still need to look at the surveillance cameras to see where Venomar’s people are roaming around.” Sita said as she shushed them. Chris got back on the computer and he start doing what he needed to do to get the surveillance cameras to turn on. Next thing I know, there are four different screen scenes. Chris kept moving through different camera shots until he found what he was looking for, the camera that was showing Jessica and my room. More of Venomar’s men and surprisingly some women were in there, throwing furniture, pulling away doors, and tearing at the walls. The screen then changed to a camera in my room and there were more of Venomar’s people in there. My bed was already turned over and everything else was a mess. Next thing I know, I see one of the guys and one of the girls picking up some of my clothes, pulled it up to their face and start sniffing them. Out of nowhere, another guy walked in. stopped, looked right at the camera and smiled. This guy is different from the other people because this guy was wearing a cloak, unlike the other ones. That’s when all I was looking now was the snow screen on the computer. I don’t know if it was just me, but I automatically got cold all over.

“Damn.” Sita said as she turned away from the computer,

“What just happened? What were they doing?” I asked, getting even more scared. Sita looked over at Logan.

“Logan, I want you to take Ebony somewhere safe. Make sure you take her near any moist areas that would help take away her scent. Josh, I want you to take your sister somewhere quiet and secrete so she can be safe. I don’t want her seeing any of this. After that, get your group prepared” Sita says.

“Okay.” Josh says as he grabs her from me and starts to leave.

“And Josh?”

“Yes Sita?”

“Just in case, tell Izzy how much you love her.”

“Of course I will.” He said as he pulled Isabella closer to him and swiftly ran out of the room. Sita turned back to Logan.

“The same goes to you too, Logan. After you drop Ebony off, I want you to go to your pack and prepare them. Alina and Jessica, both of you go to your groups. Everyone else, you know what to do. Now go.”

“Yes Sita” Everyone said all at once, besides me.

“No. I’m not leaving until someone tells me what just happened. What were those people doing in the suite?” I asked, trying to be demanding but I know I failed at that, knowing how scared I was so I know it showed. Sita sighed and looked me dead into my eyes.

“Ebony, as you know, those were Venomar’s men and since they are in your suite, it shows that they are looking for you. You can tell that some of them were werewolves because two of them were just sniffing some of your clothes to get your scent, which is why I am making Logan send you somewhere moist, anywhere with water, because water will mask your scent, keeping them from finding you. But, the longer you stay here, the more time it give them to come and find you and we do not want that, especially since we just found out that they have witch on their side. The man in the cloak must be Venomar’s personal witch, who must have found a way for his men to get in here. Now all I want you to do is just trust me Ebony and do what I say because I am trying to save you but only if you let me.” Sita said, as her voice was raising more and more as she was talking.

“I’m so sorry. Of course I can do that.” I said, almost speechless.

“Thank you.” She said as she tried to give me a smile, but her being worried took over. That’s when Logan grabbed my hand and took me back to the elevator. As soon as the doors closed, I looked over to Logan to see how he was handling all of this but his facial expression was blank.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             I wanted to say something to him but I don’t know how he would react so I didn’t say anything. The elevator doors opened to Logan’s home and he led me to closer to the waterfall.

“Now I want you to stay right here. I will be back as soon as I can, Make sure you stay in this exact spot, not anywhere else because we are not trying to take any more chances for them to find you. Also, you would need this. It gets really cold in here at night.” he said as he gave me a jacket.

“I’m guessing you are about to leave.” I said as I put it on and looked at him.

“Yeah, I have to. You heard Sita’s orders. Don’t worry. I’ll be back as soon as I can before you know it.” He said as he starts walking back to the direction of the elevator.

“Logan, wait.” He turned around as I ran to him and gave him a hug. I can tell he was caught by surprise but he hugged me back. I backed up after a while and cleared my throat.

“Sorry, I did that just in case I might not see you again after you leave.” I said as I gave him a small smile. A smile spreads across his face.

“Well in that case, I have something better.” He said as he touched my cheek and kissed me. After that, he brushed a strand of hair out of my face.

“By the way, this will not be the last time you see me.” He said as he smiled and walked away.

“I hope you’re right,” I said quietly as I sat down on the ground. I am so confused right now. I don’t know if I am prepared for any of this that is happening. I thought I was going to be prepared but I didn’t know it was going to be this soon. Everyone is fighting to keep me alive. Some of them might die because of me. All because of me. I never wanted this to happen. I didn’t ask for these powers. I wished I didn’t have them. I broke down in tears as I start to freak out. Why can’t the world be a happy place? Why can’t I change my own destiny? I don’t want this war to happen. I lay down on the ground shaking. I closed my eyes and start humming to myself a melody that I would hum to Justin. I hummed until I drift off to sleep.

***************************************

I wake up and I’m still in Logan’s forest or I think I am. Am I dreaming? If I am, this is definitely not a good time to be doing that. I looked around until I stopped at a figure of a person in the shadows, watching me. Okay Ebony, stay calm. It is just a dream. Whoever it is can’t hurt me.

“Who are you?” I asked. The person didn’t even say anything. I couldn’t
