RECAP
--------------------------------------------------------
I kissed his lips softly and rested my head on his shoulder. My eyes flickered to the window as i saw something flash by. I shook it off as just the wind before i saw another black flash going by.
"Oliver?" I asked hesitantly.
"Whats wrong" he said.
"Somethings outside"
--------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 17
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What do you mean somethings outside?" Oliver asked.
I took my head off of his shoulder and took a small step towards the window. My body turned invisible as i took a few more steps. I put my face close to the window and looked to the left and saw nothing. My head turned to the right as i saw another shadow zoom by.
"There i just saw it!" I whispered to him as i pointed to the right.
"Clio i cant see where you're pointing, you're invisible" he huffed.
"Whoops" i squeaked as i grabbed his hand and moved it in the direction where i saw the person.
"I saw it over there" i said as i turned up to look at Oliver, only he wasn't there.
I could still feel him but Oliver was invisible.
"What the hell" i whispered as i squeezed Oliver's invisible hand tighter.
"What?" He asked, thinking i was squeezing his hand to get his attention.
"Oliver" i said as i took my hand off of his, his body quickly becoming visible.
"What Clio" he asked curiously.
I grabbed his hand again and watched him fade into nothing.
"Holy shit" i said as i kept my hand in his.
"What!" He said a little bit louder, clearly annoyed.
"Oliver i can make people invisible!" I silently cheered.
"What do you-" his voice paused for a few moments while im guessing he looked down, "holy crap, I'm invisible"
I let go of his hand a few moments later from the dizziness in my head, guess it drains a lot of energy.
"When did that start happening" he asked.
"I don't know, i just figured it out when i grabbed your hand" i replied, turning visible and sitting down on the bed.
"Who do you thinks outside?" I asked anxiously.
"Probably just one of the wolves out for a morning run, its almost six" he replied cooly.
I nodded my head but i still felt like someone was out there who wasn't supposed to be.
"Why don't we go back to bed?" He asked as he sat down on the bed next to me.
"Alright" i responded, thought knowing i wasn't going to get any sleep now.
***
I lye awake next to Oliver as i listen to the slow breaths as he exhaled. Ive been awake for 45 minutes now and Oliver seems to be already out cold. My head turns to the bedroom window as i looked for any signs of movement, maybe it was just a werewolf going for an early stroll. As much as i like to think that, my mind seems to love thinking of worst case scenarios, like what if it was a group of vampires, or jayne coming to kill me?
i shake away my terrifying thoughts as i get out of bed. My legs shake as i shuffle towards the kitchen. I was only wearing my pajama bottoms and one of Olivers shirt while the weather was well below -20. I shivered again as i quietly searched through the cupboards, looking for a kettle. Once i found one i poured some water in and let it heat up. I looked around the kitchen impatiently as i waited for the water to boil. I folded a few cloths and ran a hand through my hair.
We were supposed to leave in two days for our relocation plan. I was nervous to be back on the run but more excited that i got to see Dave again.
The click of the kettle told me the water was ready. I grabbed some old hot chocolate mix in the cupboard and mixed it with the hot water. I wrapped my freezing fingers around the steaming mug as i went into the living room. As i passed the front door and windows i took a quick peek through them. Nothing caught my eyes except the falling snow as i walked past the windows and to the couch. I sat down and took a sip of my hot chocolate.
my eyes scanned around the small room as i looked up at the picture frames. I saw the multiple pictures of Oliver and his family and frowned, thinking about how times have changed.
I took another sip of my drink when i heard a noise come from outside. Usually i'd just assume it was a raccoon or the wind but after all thats gone on today, I'm expecting the worst.
I stood up from my comfortable spot on the couch and set my mug on the table. I ran my hands up and down my arms as the cabin seemed to be a lot colder then a few seconds ago. I turned invisible and carefully went up to the window. I cupped my hands on the glass and looked through it, trying to find anything suspicious. My eyes flickered left to right before a flash of familiar brown hair ran by.
I took a step back from the glass and shook my head, it was probably someone else.
Another gust of cold air rushed past my bare legs as i turned around. Did Oliver forget to close a window? I checked a few of the windows around me to see them all shut and locked. Maybe he forget to lock the back door? Sometimes cold air gets through the bottom crack of the door if you don't lock it.
I walked down the hallway and past our bedroom to the backdoor. I looked down at the lock to see that it was unlocked. My hand went to lock it as i heard someone behind me. I quickly locked the the door and turned around.
"Oliver?" i asked, waiting for him to respond.
My hands started to shakes as i looked around the dark hallway. I quickly went into the bedroom and shut the door behind me. I screamed as someones hand grabbed my waist.
"Clio what the hell" a familiar voice mumbled.
I turned around and nearly fell in relief when i saw Oliver.
"Oh god i thought you were someone trying to kill me" i explained.
Oliver just gave me a confused look as he rubbed his tired eyes, "what are you doing up?" He asked.
"Theres someone outside i swear!" I said quickly, "and i honestly don't think they're supposed to be out there and they might be inside!"
Oliver sighed, pinching the bridge of his nose, clearly tired and frustrated.
"Clio its been a long, long night, if i go out there with you and check will you come back to bed and try to sleep?" He asked me.
I nodded my head as we walked to the front door with him. We were getting our boots on slowly when another rush of cold air passed us.
"Did you feel that?" I whispered quietly to Oliver.
I looked over at him to see his face flash with panic before relaxing. "Its probably just air from the old windows getting through." He said calmly.
I breathed out shakily as we unlocked the front door and stepped out. Since we were only doing and quick peek outside I didn't put my jacket on. I wrapped my arms around myself as we stood on the front porch looking around. My eyes scanned the snowy area until i heard a faint voice.
"Clio" the voice whispered from a far distance.
"Did you hear that?" I asked Oliver, questioning the familiar voice i heard.
"No i didn't hear anything clio, theres nothing out here, can we go back inside?" He asked, looking like he was going to fall asleep any second.
"You go back to bed i'll be there in a minute" i said, curious about the voice i swear i heard.
Oliver placed a quick kiss on my temple before mumbling about being careful before he went back inside. As i heard the click of the door i took a few steps down the porch stairs. My eyes continued to search as my ears strained to hear the voice again.
"Clio?" It whispered faintly, from miles away.
I heard the voice from far away and began walking towards it. It sounded so familiar, so pure, the voice i hadn't heard in months. I felt my necklaces continue to hit my chest as i began to jog in the snow toward the voice. The hairs on my arms rose as my teeth began to chatter, but all i focused on was getting there.
"Clio" the voice said again, this time closer and more clear.
I tried to yell to the voice that i was close, but my lips were numb from the cold air.
I kept running and running towards the voice, almost there. My body was freezing cold and my energy low as i heard something snap behind me.
I slowed my running down and turned to see three vampires behind me. My body froze as they continued to walk towards me, smirks on their faces.
My arms we still shaking as i turned invisible and felt my hand begin to heat up. I went for the attack on the first vampire but heard a loud boom before i could get him.
My body froze as my invisibility died and i fell. My hands reached my side as i felt the hot blood seep through my thin shirt. I looked down to see a bullet whole go straight into my side. I knew from my pervious experience that I'm going to keep bleeding if i don't get it out.
I looked around for someone who could have shot me but saw no one. The vampires got closer and closer as i fumbled to stand up, only to hear another shot. My knee buckled from below me as i fell again. Looking down at my knee cap to see more blood. The fresh white snow around me now stained red as i lied in the snow, unable to move.
My mind told me to get up and run for my life but my body was completely numb. I could no longer feel the pain as my lips began to turn blue and everything became blurry.
As my visioned blurred i saw another flash of brown hair whizz by and take down the three vampires.
"Clio!" She mouthed as she shook my shoulders, only i couldn't hear her voice or see her face clearly.
I tried to lift my arm and reach out to her went i felt a pang in my side.
"Clio i could only get the bullet out of your side but i couldn't get the one in your knee, you need to try to run!" She yelled, looking side to side frantically.
"But what if i get shot again?" I asked, still dazed as i focused on the still slightly blurry brunette.
"I took care of the infrared now run!" She yelled.
I fumbled to me feet as my knee buckled again but it was easier to move. My side began to heal but my body was still cold from the falling snow and i was still dizzy.
My mind clicked for a moment before i turned my head around. My eyes scanned around me for the familiar brunette who helped me all those months ago, who was my only friend.
"June!" I yelled, small tears escaping my eyes.
But she was already gone.
{Authors Note}
Don't shoot me! This chapter took so long to write and i still don't like how it turned out! >:(
Anyways just to clarify Clio could barely put up a fight because she was in like -25 temperature with only pants and a tshirt. Also she got shot while she was invisible because of an infrared sniper. And so yeah.
