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

wouldn't be the one attacked. Honey, you have people depending on you."

"I didn't even ask for them to. Don't I get a decision in any of this?" After that, I ran out of the room. This is too much to take in. My life is already messed up as it is. Now these people that I do not know are depending on me to defeat that Venomar guy to save their lives. Also finding out that mother is a part of this Legnas group and she knew all about the story behind Justin's death. This is just a lot to take in.

 

I ran to this door that led to a stairwell. I stopped in there and sat down on a step. I do not know what to do on this situation. Why me, out of all people. Why did such a huge burden have to be put into my hands?

"Ebony?" I turn to see Logan coming in.

"I'm here." He sits next to me on the steps.

"I'm sorry for leaving out like that. It's just this is too much for me to take in. Yesterday was just fine until today when I have to find out I'm a witch and I might possibly get killed in three days."

"I'm sorry you had to find out that way. I know how you feel. No one told me how painful it would be when transforming into a werewolf so I didn't find out until my first transformation. It was so painful, but my body finally adjusted. I was mad at parents, but I finally forgave them."

"But there is a difference. You don't have to destroy a man with powers you don't know how to use in such a short amount of time."

"Don't worry. You are stronger than you think. Sita and your mom will train you and we will not leave you alone with him. I will be by your side." I looked up into his eyes. He really meant what he said.

"Can I ask you a question? You told me you were assigned to protect me. Was flirting with me a part of the plan?" He seemed to get a little uncomfortable when I asked that. He smiled and ran his fingers through his hair.

"To tell the truth, no. That was all me. You might find it hard to believe, but I actually like you, even with your bad attitude." I turned away and felt myself blush. It was a little hard for me to believe him.

"Okay... Let's go back to the room." I got up and start walking towards the door, but Logan turned me around. I looked up into his sparkling blue eyes.

“I am telling the truth.” He said as he moves a strand of my hair from my face and leans his head down. My heart starts beating real fast when our lips touched. The same strange, warm feeling came back as we kissed. He pulled back, his forehead still on mine.

"Here comes Sita." Logan says quietly. Me, still in a daze, I opened my eyes and steps back as my brain began to function again. A few seconds later, like Logan said, Sita comes in.

"Are you okay, Ebony?" Sita asked.

"Yeah. I'm okay. Sorry for leaving out like that. I had to clear my head." I took one glance at Logan, who gave me a small smile.

"I understand. Let's just go back to the room and discuss some more in there instead of in here."

"Okay." We all left out and start walking back to the room. I couldn't get my mind off the fact that Logan just told me that he likes me. I could feel myself blush, just by thinking about it. But, I have to stay in control and clear my mind if I have to defeat Venomar.

 

We get to the room, mom and Jessica sitting in their seats. Mom stands up and hugs me.

"I am so sorry, Ebony. I should have told you about this." she said. I feel a little embarrassed that my mom is hugging me in front of Logan.

"It's okay mom. You can let me go now."

"Oh, sorry." She says as she backs away.

"I thought about it and Logan talked with me and I decided that I will do it. I am only doing this for Justin because I feel like I still owe him. So what now? What do we have to do? We only have three days, like the little girl said, before this Venomar guy attacks."

"I thought about it and decided we can start tomorrow. Tomorrow, you will get up early and work with me and your mother on working with your powers. Then you will train later on; just in case there will have to be fighting." Sita says.

"Hey, what about me? I want to be a part of this Twilight fighting stuff." Jessica says excitedly. Sita looks over at her.

"I almost forgot that she was here. I don't know what I am going to do with you. You can't go home because you know too much. And we can't kill you. All we can do is protect you and keep you somewhere safe." she says. Jessica looks upset.

"I want to do something. Turn me into a vampire or anything." I quickly looked to Jessica like she was crazy.

"What about your family, Jessica?" I asked.

"My parents are barely home, so they won't notice any change. Also, if we make it through this, I still think it would be cool to have super strength."

"I don't know. I'll think about it. For now, you guys will be staying here with us for safety. Logan will show you to your room while I talk to Laura. We have a lot to do tomorrow. Some people will bring you food." Sita says.

"What about dad? He would find it weird that he comes home and no one is there. What if those people attack him?" I asked.

"Don't worry about him. He is out of town for a business trip. Just let Logan take both of you to your room." mom said. Jessica and I left the room with Logan and he took us to the elevator and it took us up. Once it stopped, it led us to this beautiful suite. The furniture was beautiful.

"This is all for us?" I asked, astonished.

"Yep. This is your room. I hope both of you enjoy." he says as he got back onto the elevator. Before the elevator door closed, I can see Logan giving me a smile. I can feel my face heating up as I looked away.

After the elevator door closed, I turned to Jessica and see her with a huge smile on her face.

"What was that all about? I saw that. What actually happened when Logan and you talked?" she asked.

"Nothing, I swear." I lied.

"Yeah right. I saw how both of you giving glances at each other ever since you came back. Something must have happened."

"It wasn't much. Like I said, all Logan did was talk to me... and there was a little kiss." Jessica's eyes got all wide.

"He kissed you!?! Oh my god!!" Jessica nearly screamed.

"Quiet down, Jess. It was just one kiss and you are making a big deal out of it."

"A big deal? You’re the one blushing. OMG. You like him, don't you?"

"No I don't... well, a little." When I said that, she squealed. I start trying to quiet her down again.

"Let's just forget about this. Can we just change the subject, please?"

"Fine." After that, we went to check out this room. We both had our own room here and the closet was already filled with clothes. After that, we went to the living room and watched the TV. There was nothing else to do. The rest of the day was long. Like Sita said, people did bring us food. For the rest of the day, my mind was still on Venomar and this war in three days. I am so scared; I don't even know what to do. I have to learn so much in three days and I don't know what I am going to do. What if we lose and I end up dead? Even with me thinking about all these negatives, Logan's voice keep popping up in my head of what he said in the stairway.

"I will be by your side."  The warm feelings are coming again.

Chapter 10

"Ebony, wake up." I didn't know who was waking me up, but it was a familiar voice.

"Mom, I'm getting up." I said as I turned over in the bed.

"Ebony?" I opened my eyes and at first all I see is blur, but my vision finally cleared up and I see it is Logan. I quickly sat up and covered myself with my covers. All I had on was some shorts and a bra.

"What the hell are you doing in here?" I hissed.

"Sorry. I tried calling, but no one answered." he says. I looked over at the clock and see its 5 o' clock in the morning.

"Why are you waking me up this early? It’s 5 o’clock in the morning for Christ sake." Even though I said this, Logan wasn't paying attention. He was too busy looking at me.

"Are you naked under there?" he smiles.

"Get out!" I said through closed teeth. Logan starts backing up with his hands up.

"Fine. I just came to tell you that Sita told me to take you down to practice."

"This early... Fine. I'll be ready in 30 minutes. Now get out!" After Logan left and closed the bedroom door, I got up and went to the bathroom and took me a hot shower and brushed my teeth. After that, I left out of the bathroom, I went to the closet and got out some clothes. I put on some jeans and blue T shirt and I left my hair out. When I was finished, I left out of the room and see Logan cooking in the kitchen. I went over to see that so far he cut up some fruit and he just got finished cooking an omelet and is now working on a sauce. He looks up and smiles at me.

"Come here. Try this sauce I made for the omelet." I went over and he scooped some of the sauce on a spoon and held it to my mouth. I looked at him as I opened my mouth and took in the spoon with the sauce.

"The sauce is good." I said. All Logan did was smile. After I finished eating, we got on the elevator and it took us down. Jessica didn't go because she was still asleep.

 

While the elevator was going down, I can feel the tension in the elevator. I do feel a little uncomfortable since Logan almost caught me with barely any clothes on. Also I'm afraid that I might have said something in my sleep and Logan doesn’t want to tell me. I turned to Logan and broke the silence.

"What happened in my room never happened. Understood?"

"What happened, exactly?"

"The "incident"... You going in my room, etc. If mom found out, she would be really mad knowing a boy almost caught her daughter half naked."

"A boy? Do you know how old I am?"

"17, I guess." he laughed when I said that.

"That is what I had to say so I
