Teardrops On My Diary

Chapter 16

Michael

Tucker and I rush into the infirmary, myself carrying Tatiana and placing her gently on the bed next to Savannah. Before she lost her consciousness completely, I saw that her eyes were black and red again. That must have something to do with possession, doesn't it?

My attention was on Tatiana, no one else until Tucker had rushed to Savannah's side, she was awake! She slowly sat up before her eyes widened in shock. Her eyes were turning black and red too! What the hell? This has to be a lead, I have to go verify this with abuela.

"Hey! You're the one who put Tati in a coma! Stay away from me or may God be the one to stop me from hurting you so badly you forget who you are!" Savannah yells and tries to scramble away from him. I walk up to her to help Tucker calm her down.

"Savannah, hey! It's Mike from class, do you remember me?" I say gently as to not scare her even more. "Listen, Tatiana is laying right next to you. She needs you to remember the word aliado. Can you do that for her?"

"Michael? What the hell! You know him?!"

"Sadly." I deadpan. "Listen to me. You are going to fall asleep very soon. In your dream say aliado out loud."

"Aliado?" I notice her eyes getting darker.

"Si, aliado!" She falls onto the hospital bed, limp, but still breathing.

Tucker shifts uncomfortably from the rejection from his mate.

"Sadly?" He asks. "Sadly, you know me?" He asks, his hands balling up into fists.

"Hey, I'm sorry..." I apologize watching Tucker's eyes shifting side to side and his shoulders moving up and down from his staggered breathing. Finally he sighs and waves a hand in front of me in dismissal.

"It doesn't matter."

"Tucker." He looks up at me obviously still angry. Rather than harp on this, I'll let him yell at me later when we can actually talk things out. "They're being possessed."

"I know." His voice is just dripping in annoyance.

"Possession can be traced."

"Yeah, but even if we can trace it- which we don't know how to do- we don't know how powerful he is. Especially if he has the ability to possess more than one person at a time!"

"But we have to try! We have people willing to fight, especially if it's for their spouse. We can't just do this on our own." I place my hands on his shoulders. "You're still in this with me, right?"

He grunts, anger displayed on his face. He's not holding back anymore. "Of course you cunt! I'm not leaving her to die at the hands of some stranger! Who the hell do you think I am?!" He sighs again, focusing on his breathing now. "Where do we start?"

"Well, first, we need to learn how to trace possession."

"Alright, you start to search in the library. I'll help you in a moment, I just need to..." He motions behind him towards the girls.

I nod and head out to the library. "Of course."

*******

I struggle with finding any books on possession, there's nothing on the history even. When was the last time the library was organized?!

"What are you looking for?" My grandmother asks, startling me.

"Possession or tracking possession. Anything, past accounts of it! " I turn around. "But nothing here is organized."

"No, we have them. They're just hidden. Here..." I step to the side so she can look. "Gotta make sure that no one gets any ideas." She laughs humorlessly. "You got a lead?"
