Save Me

Chapter 2

The next day I woke up and I needed to go to the bathroom. Badly. I walked around the room looking into doors to find the bathroom. Finally I found it and went. I felt a lot better. I passed the mirror on the wall and I halted in my steps. There were light blue swirls that went from my back down to my elbows that wrapped around my arms. They were beautiful but eerie. I started screaming Derek's name. He was up to me in seconds.

"Elsa what's wrong!" He yelled.

"Derek. Look at me. What are these things!" I asked, kinda freaked out again.

He looked at my arms and touched the lines. Tracing the designs. "I don't know. I've never seem them before. Not on any Angel or elemental. Does it hurt?"

I shook my head. "No. It's just, it wasn't there before."

"I guess it's part of your transition. I've never seen it. I don't think it will do anything. If anyone asked its a tattoo." I nodded. I could do that.

"Ok. So, what am I going to do wile I'm here." I asked.

"Well you have to act like a normal teen. So, what grade are you in."

"I'm going into twelfth. I still have about two weeks before school starts."

"Ok so you'll go to school. But a new one. The one down the road from here. It's a good school. But you have to try to blend in. I'll help you learn your powers and control them. I'm going to make you a ring. It will help keep your powers in line. I'll make myself a matching one and link them. So I will know if you are about to lose control or not. Or if you need me, I'll be able to feel it." Derek explained. It seemed like he had a lot figured out. I really felt bad for thinking he was nuts the other week. But honestly, who would have believed that.

"Derek?"

"Yea Ell?"

I grinned at the nickname he gave me, "thank you. For all that you are doing for me. If I didn't have you right now, I can't imagine where I would be."

"Probably in some weird experiment facility. "

I laughed. "Area fifty one much?"

He laughed and the sound was amazing. "You wanna pick out your room now?"

"Yea. Sure" I smiled.

He pulled me by my hand and we walked into the hall. There were three different rooms to choose from on the second floor. He wanted me to be closer to him in case I needed him. The first room was a dark blood red with black leather furniture. The second room was tan with brown leather furniture. And the third, and the one I picked was a sky blue and bright color color. It had a calming feel to it. The furniture was dark wood and the couch was a light brown leather. The bed was huge and had light blue and pink covers and pillows. There was a window seat and the room was exceptionally huge. I had more room then I needed. I loved it. It was so...me.

"Derek it's beautiful, thank you."

"No problem. Now for a oh so fun task. Shopping. Girl shopping. I'm rich so don't think you are going to make me go broke here. But you need clothes, girly shit, like tampons and crap. " I blushed deeply "You also need school things and so do I. You'll also need a cell phone and I need to get a few things. And anything decor for your room, get it. Because you need to look the part of a normal girl."

I laughed. "Shopping. I've actually never went shopping before."

Derek's eyes saddened. The sudden realization lit in his eyes that an orphanage was I knew. He seemed tortured inside. "Hey. Don't feel sorry for me. Because I'm not." Slowly he nodded at me. "Let's go shopping." He smiled and we left.

Derek's car was shiny, sleek and black. But most of all, it was fast. And I loved fast. He had the top down and I stood up spreading out my arms. I felt like I was flying. It was amazing. A small part of me laughed because I had wings and I'm pretty sure that meant I could fly. Maybe I'd try later.

Demons blasted over the radio and I stared at Derek in awe. He sang to the song and he was amazing. He has the voice of, well, an Angel. He was so beautiful like this. Carefree and boyish. I wondered how old he really was. He looked older than me but how many years I was unaware of.

When we made it to the mall, I smiled. It was so big. I was so excited.

"Ok ok. Keep your damn wings on." He laughed.

I slapped his arm. "My wings are a touchy subject thank you very much." His grin was dazzling. I wondered deeply about what it was like to be a wolf. I seen many movies but I wondered how much Hollywood exaggerated and glorified it. I'd have to ask him later.

We went into a lot of stores. I got more clothes then I knew what to do with. About three thousand dollars worth. I also ordered about ten thousand dollars worth of furniture and accessories. Derek told me I had a twenty thousand dollar limit. I couldn't believe that it was that much money that I was allowed to use. I think he enjoyed watching me shop and run around and play. He smiled at me the whole time. Our new inside joke was shirts that on his said, I'm a werewolf and on mine said I'm an angel so love me. It was ironic humor. I'm glad his taste was similar to me. I don't think I had ever felt so happy, or alive.

We were gone until eight o'clock at night. I had the best day of my life, despite all the weird shit that was happening. Derek was something else. We were gunna be great friends. I could tell. He was like no one I had ever met. Of course I'd never met a werewolf before. So, he could be normal.

We sat on the couch for the rest of the night watching movies and throwing popcorn at each other. It was a funny sight, seeing him trying to catch popcorn in his mouth. He flipped off the couch once. He got mad about that and he threw his water at me. I put my hands up, like that would help. And I didn't feel anything. I opened my eyes and looked over. The water was in mid air, in little circles. I moved my hand and the water moved with it. It was beautiful. It was the most amazing thing I had ever seen. I reached out and touched it and it fell all over my lap. "Derek, did I do that?"

"I think you did. Wow Elsa. That was amazing." He said, gazing at me in such an awe that it made me flush bright crimson.

"I think I might need to go change pants." I said looking down at my now soaked jeans.

Derek laughed and shook his head, "I think you should too. You look like you peed yourself."

I flicked him off and went to change. I walked into his bathroom to grab a towel and stopped when I seen a picture. It was of Derek's father, and my parents. I picked it up, looking at it. Tears filled my eyes. I missed them so much. How could they be gone? Ripped away from my life. And I couldn't even remember what had happened. A tear dropped onto the frame. I wished they were here ergo help through all of this mess I was in. I was great full for Derek, but honestly, I wanted my parents. No one could ever replace that feeling. I love you guys. I thought. I sat the picture down after hugging it close and walked away to get out of my wet jeans, forgetting about the towel.
