*Don't be so PARANOID`~(Closed/Jacky&Damen)

[Valerie Lynn Monroe]

_{_______________________________________________}

The gentle taps of my shoes against the linoleum. were all that was heard as I walked down a desolate corridor. It was after dinner, and I had just gone back to get my books, not a soul was in sight. I thought I was safe. I was always safe alone. I had told Sephora, who was carrying Demi on her back, to just wait at the truck and wait for me there. I had never expected what came after. It was then I stopped, hearing a noise behind me. As I turned around the books and my purse crashed to the ground, and I began backing up slowly, trying to make sense of what I saw in front of me. "Valerie Lynn Monroe, you little bitch! What the fuck were you thinking? Did you really think you could get away that easily?"

[/b]He asked me angrily, and as I backed up further, he approached faster. "T-Trevor, what the f-fuck are you doing here? Leave m-me the fuck a-alone!" I stuttered in pure terror, and finally he caught up to me.

I was then pinned roughly against the wall, followed by a sharp and hard slap. "Shut the fuck up, you little whore. You're fucking dead for trying to run. Your mom is dead anyways, why bother living?" He asked in a harsh tone, an evil and devious smirk placed on his face. Then I came to the stunning realization. "Y-You killed h-her..." I spoke quietly. "You always were a smart girl, Val. But of course, the cops believe it was a drug overdose. Stupid slut, your mother was. It's a shame, she was a beautiful woman. And now another one has to die because she decided to fucking disobey me!" I tried to move but he had his hands wrapped around my neck faster than I could. I struggled to breathe, squirming under his firm grasp as he smiled evilly at me. This was not cool, not cool at all. As his grip tightened, my feet were off the ground as his hands lifted as well. And that's when I knew I'd never be safe unless I killed him. But did I have the guts to?

JACKY holster BUKRIE

Jacky literally almost forgot where his locker was. He hadn't been here in so long. But he was informed that if he didn't go to class today, he would be expelled. Though Jacky cursed about the school all the time, there was no way that could happen. It was one place where he didn't have to hide in fear of getting shot. Besides the weird ass drama, like Mr. Damn-en being overly jealous type, and Val being all secretive and such. Jacky was starting to devolop a crush on his own, but figured it would go away pretty quickly. Whatever reasons, he had to stay. It was maditory in his eyes. So, he actually went to class. Then he forgot his music in his locker, so he decided to get it afterwards.

He was about to make the turn on his lockers when a deep voice echoed through the halls. He wouldn't have thought anything of it, besides the words being, 'Valerie Lynn Monroe, you little bitch.' Now this got Jacky's attention right quick. He jerked his head around, feeling his hair flick as he did so. He didn't hear a lot after that besides the same voices, but he couldn't tell what they were saying, as their tone got a little lower. Taking off in a full sprint, he went toward the voice, comprehending little words, like 'killed' and 'mother' and things that just didn't make sense. Then, he ran faster when he heard it cut off.

He turned the corner, sliding a little on his shoes as it passed. What he saw was enough. An older man looking like he was choking Val. Val was only human, and Jacky had no powers, but it didn't stop him from taking his switchblade out. He always carried this blade around, so it wasn't ironic that he had it now. "Get your fucking hands off of her fucking throat." He called out, snapping with anger, rage filling his eyes. He couldn't provent his mother's dealth, but he could do this one. He was on the other end of the hall, so he started running there, but something else happened he certainly didn't expect.

I wondered the halls blankly, feeling no real need to head off to class or anything like that. I was the biggest slacker you had ever met sometimes, but at this moment I blamed it soully on not getting the sleep I needed. I yawned, covering my mouth with my hand to muffle the sound that came out, but as soon as that sound faded. I heard another that sound that caused me to pick up my speed. I rounded a corner, but nothing was there. I paused listening for the sounds of yelling, but I could hear none with my ears. That's when I tuned into the sounds coming from peoples minds. I knew that mind voice. I'd heard it in my slumber when Val had been having nightmares that seemed to draw me in.

A human growl echoed in my throat before I lifted my feet up again and shot off in the direction of all the noise. I was furious when I rouned the corner to the hallway they stood within. Jacky was there as well and that caused me to wonder what the hell was going on. It just so happened that I was behind the person holding Val. I growled low in my throat, starting out sounding human until it morphed into the sound of a tiger. My tail lashed from side to side as I moved forward on massive, clawed paws. I needed no room to speak as I shot forward, getting ready to ram into this man's legs and hopefully get him to realease Val.

As soon as I heard the growl and the voice of the two boys I cared about most, I couldn't resist. They'd have to see my powers, I couldn't have them hurt. I moved my hands, throwing them back against the far wall where Jacky had come. It was forceful, but it was light enought that it wouldn't cause them any damage. I returned my hands to Trevor's hands, letting my flames burn him, causing him to let go. I was pissed now, I was going to kill him. I threw him against the opposite wall with my powers, then let moisture clouds go up around the sprinklers to keep them from setting off. I kicked his head as he layed on the floor. "You're the one who's going to fucking die. See you in hell," I growled at him, before backing away and setting him on fire.

I watched him burn before increasing the heat, holding the boys back against the wall at the same time until Trevor was completely ashes. Then I used wind and blew them away, like he never existed. There would be no evidence of his death. I quickly ran over and slipped my books in my bag, then looked at the boys once before shifting into a hawk, grabbing the handle of my bag in my talons and taking off down the opposite hall as fast as I could, causing me to stop holding them against the wall. I flew as fast as I could until I reached an empty classroom, shifting and running in, shutting the door behind me. I walked over and dropped my bag on a seat, leaning against the desk and putting my face in my hands to try and calm myself.

I had just killed my step-father, found out my mother was dead, and revealed my powers to Damen and Jack. Now I'd have to tell them everything, to explain why I did what I had done. I had way too much going through my mind right now, but then the thought hit me. I didn't have to worry about Trevor hurting me ever again. On the downside, I was now an orphan. And most likely, I had lost the brother I never had and the boy I was falling for, who both were the people who meant most to me, by lying to them like that. Well, fuck. Now I was in a bad situation. I felt the tears run down my face, but didn't bother to stop them. This was officially one of the worst days of my life, almost the worst. But the worst day of my life was the day my dad died, and it would always remain the worst.

Everything played out with lightening speed before my eyes. One minute I was on my feet. No problem there and the next I was smashed into a wall, out of breath and trying to understand why it had happened. I could hear the roar of a small fire and managed to focus my gaze on what Val was doing. She'd lied to us all. She wasn't human like she had said, but for some reason felt no fury at her deseption only the need to get up and go to her. Make her tell me why she'd hidden it from me in a reasonable manner, but I knew she wouldn't tell me the truth. I didn't mean that much to her. I was less than dirt in her eyes. I stuggled for several moment, trying to raise from the position I was in. A growl shook my still tiger frame, making me vibrate from head to toe as I tried to stand, without winning the battle. Her powers were to much for me.

My eyes locked on her as she blew the ashes away before taking off, realeasing both of use from her ability. I stood just seconds after I was lose, shaking myself from head to tail tip before shooting off after her, changing from tiger to human in several moment. I shot around the corner, eyes scanning, searching for any sign of her, I poked my head in every classroom, scanned every thing I could, until I came to an empty classroom. Something told me that she stood on the other side of that door and so I stood there, staring at the door while I caught my breath. My hand reach out and turned the knob opening the door. I stepped within the shadowed confines and shut the door once more. Dark eyes scanned for her, looking this way and that, until they came to rest on her features.

I took a deep breath and stepped towards her. There was no need for questions now. I knew that much so, instead I leaned against the desk neck to the one she was near. "Wanna tell me what's going on?" It was simple. There was no need for her to answer if she didn't want to she could always tell me later when she was feeling better about everything that was going on. I looked over at her, head tilted to the side in question, yet there was a mellow edge to the way I was acting, not like the calm before a strom, but like a soft breeze, questing for answers to unspoken questions.

JACKY holster BUKRIE

He heard the footsteps coming from behind him, glancing to see who it was. Well, well, it was Damen. Finally that boy did something that Jacky knew he was probably going to thank him for his help later. Ugh, now he passed him. Jacky wasn't what you called, 'athletic' but the thought of Val getting killed pushed him harder. Though, he was pushed back by something hard, and flown to the other side. "Holey shit!" He cursed out loud as he landed with a thud. Was that Val? No, she was human... Jacky ate his own thoughts when a shot of fire burned the guy up, the ashes sent away with the wind. Jacky blinked, and Val was already into a hawk.

He was frozen from surprise, fear, and anger all at the same time. The surprised, easy. She obviously wasn't human, which lead him to be the angry part. There was a lot of things Jacky hated, and lieing was one of them. On top of that, all it did was make her look like she was ashamed to be chosen, which the thought he hated just as much. His hands would have clenched into a fall, ready to storm after her and scream at her what the hell was that all about. Though, the fear kept him from doing so. Though this guy was about to kill Val, and probably this creepy murderous guy, Jacky caught the glimpse in his eyes when dealth came upon him. He feared dealth majorly. Now he knew why his brothers never let him join in their hunts. It was too much. Jacky had found his soft spot. Or the spot that could be penitrated by fear.

He started to breath normally, and look around to find he was standing there, alone, random spots of ash surrounding the hallways, but overall, no sign of anything. Even Damen was gone. Sighing, he concentrated, directly locating where Val was. Knowing she was in some classroom, and the direction, he ran there, still trying to shake the image from his mind. He came to a closed door, hearing Damen's voice. Well, he wasn't going to just barge in there and start yelling, as much as he wanted to. He would probably get some lecture from Damen, which he didn't need. Besides, he was also kind of curious to hear this.

He crouched by the door, putting his ear right on the door to hear what was going on. Flashes came to his eyes, but he ignored them as much as he could.

OOC: this is giving them alone time without being alone X3

As soon as I heard Damen's voice I looked up at him, not bothering to dry the tears from my eyes. I didn't tear my eyes from his, there was just something about him that calmed me... sort of. And he wasn't mad, either. Jacky would be, I knew it. But I hoped he'd hear my explanation if he was near. I looked away from Damen to the floor. "That was my step-dad, Trevor..." I spoke angrily, "All those nightmares you've seen, Damen, where he's beating me and raping me and cutting me with knives, they're not fiction. They're memories. Two years he did that to me, those are just what's been haunting me. There's about two scars from a motorcycle accident and one from broken glass, the rest on me are from him." I sighed before moving, going to look out the window.

"I hid my powers because I have three. Elemental control, shapeshifting and telekenesis. And since that's rare, word would get out. And if word got out, Trevor would hear about it... and he would find me... but he did anyways. And he was going to kill me. He killed my mom..." I trailed off, the shocking realization that he killed my mom. I could feel the tears moving faster down my face, but at this point I didn't care. I just spoke again. "He's why I don't trust men, Damen. It scares me... I'm afraid of it happening again if I let someone close..." I trailed off again, tempted to tell him that letting someone close was exactly what I was doing at the moment. I turned to look at him. "I've never told anyone this. No one knows about my powers, or my experiences. Just you... and I'm sorry for lying to you. I just... I couldn't risk getting revealed and Trevor coming after me... And I didn't want anyone to know how bad everything I've gone through truly was..." I put my face and my hands and just shook my head, trying to process everything, "I'm so, so sorry..." I whispered quietly, letting the tears flow from my eyes. I could care less at the moment, I had more important things to deal with.

The inarticulateness of this moment was enough to make me fall silent to all that was around me aside from her words. I pressed my lips together thoughtfully, allowing my mind to wonder back through all the thing I'd ever seen in her dreams. I closed dark eyes to fight off the fury that boiled in the pit of my stomach. I locked my jaw for a moment. I ran a hand through my hair, fighting my angest as I stared at her will somber eyes that seemed nearly emotionless except for the small spark that lite them up. I scrubbed my hand over my face before a single word fell from my lips, "Damnit. . ." I pushed off the desk I had been leaning against and turned to face her full on.

I stood there for a second, debating about what to do and then my eyes were flooded with sorrow and my voice was a softed coo as I walked over to her, wrapping her in a warm embrace with out a simple thought of the action. "I'm sorry, sweetling. Things like that should never happen to someone like you. Not even anyone else should have to live with those pains and those memories." I held her tight against my chest for a single moment and then released her, taking a step back. Something within me feared holding her for to long. Feared that she would shove me away, isolate me in ways that would just tear me to peices. I didn't know how much ripping I could take, how much heart break I could live through.

I gulped silently, watching her with liquid brown eyes. Hoping she would see that all I wanted to do was hold her and keep her safe from all that had happened. I didn't want to hurt her. I wanted to protect her like my life depended on it. I licked my lips, turning my eyes to the classroom floor, trying to get my mind off all these silly, trivial thoughts. I didn't need them clouding my mind as they did now.

JACKY holster BUKRIE

Everything he heard as clear as a bell, despite the fact there was a wooden door in the way. It was lucky for him the door seemed to be thin. It had to be something among those lines. Then why when he was here for after-school detention, he didn't hear a single soul in the hallways? Soundproof from one side, perhaps? Something in the matter. But all the same, his heart gave a squeeze. It didn't do this for a lot of people, but Val was one of them right now. It was a horrible story. One of the ones you heard in the news because it was so terrifing. Anger toward Val was no longer, as he understood keeping a low profile. It was toward the guy that burned in ashes. There was still that small fear of dealth, but he did deserve it. "God Val." He knew she wouldn't be able to hear his soft whisper, but he said it anyways.

A twinge of jealously, however, approached as he realized she was telling Damen this. Not Jacky. Sure, he didn't think her that way, but it still hurt. It was the feeling if your best friend told her boyfriend a super secret, and kept you mute. In fact, this is exactally what it was... who was Jacky kidding? Val liked Damen, he could tell by the c-boxes and the conversation here. He hoped Damen would take good care of her. Shaking that from his mind, he heard Damen and crying Val. Damen (knowing he would regret it later if he thought this, but) was right. No one deserved to live like that. Jacky nodded to himself, as if he were agreeing.

[Valerie Lynn Monroe]

_{_______________________________________________}

I felt Damen's arms around me and sighed. And then he moved away. I wanted him to move away... right? Wrong. I wanted Damen more than anything else at the moment. More than Jacky, more than my pets, more than anything. Which meant I was falling for him hard. I brushed away the tears and sighed. "I-I should go find J-Jacky...." I said quietly, heading for the door. But as soon as my hand touched the doorhandle something felt wrong. I couldn't leave him... I trusted him. The feeling with Damen was the safest I'd felt since Dad, and I couldn't deny the fact I was starting to fall in love with him.

I cursed under my breath, "Fuck. I can't do this anymore." So I spun on my heels, rushing back to him and wrapping my arms around him. I was crying again as I held him close. "D-Damen I'm s-so sorry... I should've r-realized sooner that I c-couldn't avoid t-this..." I looked up at him with tear-filled eyes, then did something I thought I'd never do. I leaned in, and then let my lips meet his in a deep, passionate kiss before pulling away and smiling at him, my sobs stopping. "Please don't shut me out, Damen. I want to be with you and no one else. I feel safe and secure with you, like I don't have to be afraid, and I'd trust you with my life. We belong together and I was an idiot to think I could stop that, and hurting you in the process almost killed me. I'm sorry," I meant every word I spoke.

She turned to leave and I surely thought she would walk away from me and into Jacky's arms, but she spun so fast for a moment I thought she might yell at me, but then her arms locked around me and I took a deep breath, feeling the air rush into my lungs. I released it before wrapping my arms around her just as her lips touched mine. I swear I nearly jumped out of my skin at the warm, tender kiss was planted on my lips. I wanted to pull away and ask what had caused her to change her mind, but she had already moved and was already speaking before my mind could even catch up.

I pressed my mouth to hers. Hoping that would shut her up long enough to allow my brain time to catch up. I moved away after a moment and sighed. "Why would I push you away, when I'm the one chasing you like a love struck colt?" A small humorless laugh passed my lips before I allowed my gaze to drop to the ground as a small, emotionless smile covered my lips. Yeah. I was quite the fool. As always. That's how every waking day was for me. Everytime I saw her, I was like a love struck puppy chasing her around. It was both embaressing and maddening. How could I let her worm her way into my heart and mind like this? Well, it seems I wasn't the only one to feel this way. We'd both fallen into the game of cat and mouse and ended up at the end wrapped in each other's arms.

[Valerie Lynn Monroe]

_{_______________________________________________}

I noticed the look on his face and lifted his chin back so that he was looking at me. I had a small, understanding smile on my face before pressing my lips gently to his once more. "I thought you being persistant was cute. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have fallen for you like I have. God, even I was tempted to follow you around like a lovesick puppy most the time as well," I teased with a bigger smile. I looked down away from him, a bit embarassed. I could feel my face heat up, knowing I was now blushing and looking like a complete dork. Why was I always like this around him? I looked back up and smiled again.

He was just so adorable, everything about him was perfect. I had fallen so hard for him, harder than he knew. Harder than I thought I'd ever fall for someone. I sighed, finally feeling the feeling I'd been missing. "I'm still really sorry I had to lie to you for so long... I had no choice. I used my elements to cloud my mind, that's why you couldn't see my thoughts. If you ever want to see my thoughts, just let me know, okay?" I said, then smiled sweetly at him. It was amazing I was this happy after hearing my mother had died, and killing my step-father. But it was Damen, he did it to me. He made me happier than I'd been since dad died. And I couldn't help but start to think that I was falling in love with the boy.

JACKY holster BUKRIE

There was a soft smile on his face when she mentioned that she hadn't forgotten him. At least she still remembered he was there. Then he realized she was probably heading for the door. Before he could shoot back and go, SHIT! There was another sound being made. He didn't take his ear off of the door, and heard everything that Val had said to Damen, and Damen said back. There were paused between, and Jacky could only guess they had to be kissing. Though, after both of them made thier love sick comments, Jacky turned away from the door and gagged. He had the sudden urge to throw up now.

He kept listening, thinking, OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! IS THIS MY PUNISHMENT FOR BEING WHAT I AM? I'M SORRY, I'LL BE GOOD, JUST MAKE IT STOOOPPPP! He thought, though he didn't mean any of it. Then he found a nearby trash can and hurled. He lifted his head, his face very pale with a tint of green. He made a face at no one, and got back up. He went over, banging hard on the door, "Would you two just finish up already?" He was probably ruining the moment... yes, that would be what Jacky would do.

I was happy to hear her words, but it seemed our bubble of happiness could only last so long. Ah, if only I had been a dog at that moment. My ears twitched with annoyance and a low human grown grew in my throat as I released her and marched to the door, opening it only to glare at Jacky. "How rude of you to just wonder in here and make demands like you own the place. I know I don't, but still. Sheesh, are people not allowed to have a moment anymore?" My voice was cold and dark as if any moment I could just change shape and leap upon him for his imputance. I knew for a fact that I was just puffing up with annoyance and I would get a rebuttel from Val as soon as she came over to get in between us, but that was how I was and so, she would have to deal with it, though I needed to cool my temper. Ah, that temper of mine.

A glance was cast over my shoulder, before I removed myself from the doorway, giving Jacky a chance to enter or Val a chance to leave. I would not be rude and stand in the way if she decided to do something or if he. I was in too good a mood to deal with anyone that decided to be an annoyance, though I knew just where I wanted to be, but that would have to wait. They probably needed to talk as Val and I had already done, so I would let them even if that was not a fond wish of mine. I would have prefered they not speak to one another, but hey, I didn't control the world, something or someone else did.

[Valerie Lynn Monroe]

_{_______________________________________________}

As Damen walked towards Jacky, I thought for sure there'd be a fight. So I went and stepped between them, and then gave Jacky a hug. "I'm so sorry, Jacky," I whispered into his ear, "I wanted to tell you, but I was afraid. I'm so sorry..." I moved away from him then took Damen's hand, looking at him and wanting to do something to calm him down. But I wasn't going to kiss him, Jacky would flip. So I just pulled Damen closer, with a small smile on my face as I did so.

I then decided to tease him, and stood on my toes to whisper something in Damen's ear. "Darling calm down," I said quietly, "I'm sure there will be other moments greater than this one. Maybe later, even." I moved away and winked, hoping to lighten up his mood. "So, can you two boys learn to get along? You both have said you'd do anything for me, so now I want you to do this one simple thing. Just stop fighting, please. If you don't, I'm a lot more powerful than both of you combined, so you don't want to mess with me. Got it?" I said sternly to them, hoping that it'd get the message through.
