I'm Not Dead Yet...

Chapter 21

Jason cast cautious glances my way every five minutes as if he thought I was going to throw a knife at his throat, I was tempted. He really shouldn't tempt me, because I might take up his offer. Thank god no one had inspected Hannah's body or I'd be put on trial, Heather and Angie seemed very impacted by her death, always sobbing and when they think no ones looking letting a few tears slide down their cheeks, it was really quite depressing. Enough to dampen even my battle-high. I was itching for a fight and had been getting really smart with everyone, not always on purpose.
"Hey Reena, come over here!" Called jai, gesturing to where he sat, alone.
"Sure," I replied, and made my way over. I sat down with my piece of rabbit,
"I know you may not be ready for another relationship," he said, "but I'm going to be there for you until I die." I nodded,
"Thanks jai," I replied, his eyes shone with hope, I'm not sure whether I can fulfil it.

All seven of us had changed, but I realised felicity was getting consistently thinner, and she was eating her fill each night, I'd made sure of it. Bailey had really gotten close to her so I approached for a chat,
"Hi," I greeted her,
"Hey," she replied,
"What's going on with you and Bailey?" Her face went bright red,
"N-nothing," she stammered,
"Don't lie to me." I said darkly,
"Fine, but don't tell anyone," she replied stubbornly,
"I think everyone already knows," I pointed out, "your going all moony-eyed over him."
"Shut up!" She said, slapping my shoulder, I just laughed at her, a shadow passed over the ground beside me and her eyes darkened, I smelt grapefruit and rain, I should have guessed by the look on her face, everyone knows what he did,
"Hello Reena," he said, "can we talk?" Cold forbidding filled me but I nodded anyway, then followed him to where we'd be out of earshot,
"I saw you kill her." He said coldly, showing little emotion, but it knew if was raw subject,
"So? What are you going to do about it? Tell them all? See if I care." I didn't care, the only people left that I actually cared about were Caitlin, jai and felicity, and jai already knew,
"Yeah, I might just." He turned and I made no attempt to stop him.

"Hey! Everybody, I have something to say!" Jason called, shocked expressions greeted him when they saw me come up behind him, I waved at them and smiled lopsidedly at them, probably the last smile they'll want to see from me,
"Did anybody actually check Hannah's body?" He asked, everyone shook their heads, "then how do we know no one killed her?" He suggested,
"Well, we do because Reena saw her fall, she saw her being killed, being bitten, turning. Didn't you?" Asked Caitlin, she was so innocent, I hate to taint her with my existence,
"Huh, funny then, that Hannah was a carrier, she couldn't turn." Puzzled expressions met this statement, "there for, how did she die, I think Reena has a good answer to this." He was done, and gestured to me for finishing it,
"I killed her." I said, muttered curses, opinions and thoughts passed through the small crowd of five in front of me,
"Hey, guys, she did kind of ask for a bullet in her head." Jai pointed out,
"I never said anything about a bullet jai." I said suspiciously, we winked at me, he knew the whole time.
