Chapter Four

~Xavier~

Well today is Wednesday and I just got out of school. Yesterday was beyond crazy. I knew who my true love is. Then I followed a sound that lead me to a dead body again. What else is new? I walked home and sat in my room listening to music. I thought about who I wanted to be with. Well, it is obvious who my true love was. I sat in my window seat until it was dark and watched the rain hit my window. I really do think I am starting to fall in love with Jace. I mean he is such a wonderful and outstanding guy. Something never thought he would be. But turns out behind all those scars on his body, he is the best. I need to see him. I ran outside and ran all the way to his place in the pouring rain. I just stood there looking at his door and I finally started knocking he answered. He came to the door in only his black Nike gym shorts. His body looked so hot. “I choose you Jace…. And I am falling in love with you. It scares me because I don’t want to be hurt like Ryder hurt me. I want to trust you and I want to believe that you won’t hurt me. I think I am in love with you.” I told Jace. He stared at me and his smile lit up the whole sky, making my heart melt. “I am in love with you Xavier.” He responded and took my face into his hands. He leaned down and kissed me. This kiss was so hot and passionate. You can feel the heat coming from our lips as we kiss in the rain. He licked my bottom lip wanting access. I opened my mouth and he slipped his tongue in. When are tongues met, the energy that connected made us both moan. He walked us backwards and I slam the door shut with my foot. He took off my shirt and I kicked off my jeans. I took off his shorts and both of us are naked. We made it to the bed and he lays me down gently. I scoot up, laying my head down on his pillow. I smelled his scent. It makes me get turned on instantly. He grinds on top of me making me moan to his touch. He slid his hand down my side and down to my waist. I rub my fingers through his hair while he is grinding on me. “Make love to me.” I whispered. “He nodded and slipped in his shaft into my whole. I moan as soon as he puts it in. I pull on his hair and lean back into the pillow, arching my back. He kept the pace up and went faster. He leans down and kissed me. I pull on his bottom lip as he pulls away making him moan. I claw down his back. The pleasure feels astonishing. I moan to his name. He goes faster. I claw his chest. “Xavier, I’m going to….” He started to say and he came inside me. He moaned loudly and so did I. He goes slower and finally pulls out. He lied next to me trying to catch his breathe. “I love you.” I stuttered nervously. He Turns over and looks at me. “I love you so much Xavier.” He responds and kisses me. He lays out his arm and I cuddle up next to him. I am so glad he is the cuddle after sex type. Some guys are like “No man. I don’t like cuddling.” And I am like “Well no more of this!” I’m just kidding about that but you get my point. We laid in bed talking about stupid shit. Then soon enough I fell asleep.

Well just now after school, I told Ryder that I chose Jace. He understood and walked off. Now Jace is taking me to the café so I can go work. I love my job. Working at the café is so awesome. Well some days. The days I am all bitchy and stuff is when I hate it. Maybe it is the fact I hate everything and everyone on those days. But who knows. I laughed in my head. Jace pulled in front of the café. “I’ll see you after your shift.” Jace said and leaned in and kissed me. “I love you.” I said. And he responded to the same thing. I got out of the car and smiled as he drove off. “New boyfriend?” Asked a familiar voice from behind me. I turned around and it was Damien. “Hey!” I said and gave him a hug. “When did you get back into town?” I asked. “Last week.” He said. Oh… Well this is a new stage of awkward. I smile and nodded. I walked in side and headed into the back so I can grab my apron. Well it is not really an apron. It’s the ones you tie around your waist.  I walked back upfront and started my shift. “What can I get you?” I asked the next costumer. “Can I have a Macchiato please?” asked the girl. “Is that to go or for here?” I asked back. “Here.” She responded. I got a cup and made her a Macchiato. Which is one of my favorites by the way. “Here you go and that will be $2.75” I smiled at her and handed her the cup. She handed be three ones and I handed her the change. I would have a lot of ones if I was a stripper. I do know that. I would be one hot stripper. “I’ll have a large black coffee.” Said a familiar voice… Bryan. I looked at him strangely. He handed me the money and I poured him a cup of coffee. “Will that be all?” I asked. He smiled and walked out. “I thought you killed him?” Riley whispered to me. “I did.” I pointed out. “Obviously not good enough.” Riley points out. “Hi, what can I get you?” I asked the next costumer. “Um, maybe you can tell me. Where do I find a Xavier Reed?” She asked. “I am Xavier Reed.” I said and looked at her nervously. She pulls out a badge. “Detective Conrad. I have some questions involving you being at all the murder scenes lately.” She smiles at me. “Can we sit?” She asks and raises an eyebrow. I nodded. “Can you take over for a sec?” I asked Riley. She nods. I walked us to a table and sat down. “So what are the questions?” I asked nervously. “Why are you at every single murder scene that has been going on?” She asks me with a straight voice. Watching my every move. I gulped. “I don’t know honestly. I am psychic though. And I get these strange feeling when something bad has happened. I follow the feeling and it leads me to the dead bodies.” I inform her. Which is almost true… But not completely. She looks at me confused. “What am I thinking right now?” She asked. Did she really just ask me that? I am not a mind reader. But I can look into her mind…. “You are thinking about if I am lying or not.” I inform. She nods. “That is correct.” She smiles at me. I smile back. She stares at me and looks at me so strangely. “Alright. That is all I needed to know.” She says and walked out of the café. Well alright. That was not weird at all. I shake my head and walked back to the counter. “What was that all about?” Riley asked. “I have no idea.” I responded. I got back to work and seven o’clock comes around. I walk to the back and hang up my apron.  I tell Faye goodnight and walk out to Jace’s car. Soon as I got in I told him what happened. He was worried but I told him to not worry about it. If they think I done that, they are seriously so dumb. I would never kill an innocent. That is just so wrong. “I want to take you somewhere if you don’t mind.” Jace proposed. I look at Jace and raised an eyebrow. “That is if you tell me where we are going.” I smiles sarcastically at him. “I will never tell you. So I will take that as a yes.” He smiled back at me. He stepped on the gas and I fall back into my seat. That ass. He went fast through the mountains. Where is he going? I wondered. We pulled down a dead in where the road ends. “What is this place?” I asked. “I used to live here when I was little.” He informed. We got out and walked down an old road with weeds, and other types of plants growing on the road. He grabbed my hand and pulled me close. “Are you scared of the dark?” I asked. He shook his head. “I never been here… Since my parents was murdered.” He informed. He must have been scared to come back here. If he is bringing me here, I must be something to him. And that makes me beyond ecstatic. We make it to an abandoned house. It looks like an old cabin. We walked up to the door and he grabbed the key from under the mat. The door opens and you can tell no one has been here in forever. It’s so dark in here. You can’t even see yourself. Only from the moonlight. He puts wood into the fire place and the whole room lights up. This place is so old. There is old furniture everywhere. He grabs onto my hand and walks me into a room. “This was my old room.” He points out. I walked in and seeing is old bed makes me giggle a little. I look at the pictures on the wall from when he was younger. He was so adorable. I look over and smile at him. I can learn so much about him by just looking at the pictures. “Was they your parents?” I point on the picture. There was a silence. “Yeah.” He sighed. I put the picture down on the night stand and walk over to him. I gave him a huge hug. Immediately he hugs back. “What’s that for?” He asked trying to breathe from my hug. “I’m glad you showed me this. I mean it. Thank you.” I said and gave him a kiss. He kisses back with passion. We walked to the fire place and he sits down on the floor. He grabs my hand and pulls me down so I can sit in between his legs. He wraps his arms around me and I felt so protected. We sat by the fire sitting in silence. This is literally so peaceful. There was a scream so loud, it made my ears bleed. “Xavier!” Shouted Jace covering my ears. “There is another banshee near!” I informed. I grabbed Jace’s hand and I ran for the noise. We ran for about ten minutes into the wood and seen a girl sitting on the ground looking at a dead body. I walked up to her and patted her shoulder. She jumped in fright. “It’s ok! We are not going to hurt you.” I informed. “Your ears are bleeding.” She points at my ears. Then her eyes grew really big. “You are a banshee too!” She says. She starts talking to herself so weirdly. “Are you ok?” Jace asked confused. She ignored him and talked faster. “What’s your name?” I asked. She stopped talking and stared at Jace and I. “Beverly.” She responds. “I’m Xavier and this is my boyfriend Jace.” I informed her. She smiles. Then she turns to Jace. She walks over to him and Jace scoots back. She reaches for his shirt and lifts it up. “You have scars.” She pointed out. “You was in danger…. You was tortured and your parents was killed in front of you.” She says touching the scars. Jace nods. “Beverly… How did you know that?” I asked. I can’t do that. Well I don’t know how yet. I just hear stuff and I follow the noise. “You don’t know how yet.” She smiles at me. “I didn’t know either.” She says and she starts to move her hands looking at the ground. She is acting so strange. Like she came from a mental hospital or something…. Oh my god. “Did you come from Brookhaven?” I asked nervously. Brookhaven is the mental hospital for mostly younger teens and young adults. It’s located about 40 minutes from here. “Yes… I had to find the body. Then every time I hear a scream when I was walking. My ears started to bleed. So I am guessing that was you.” She smiles at me. “Aren’t they looking for you?” Jace asked. “Possibly.” She says. “The person who is doing this to these supernatural people, is close to here. I can hear them. They belong in the woods. That’s why everybody is founded In the woods. I mean there is a lot of woods. And a lot of bodies. There is probably more. Are they coming after us too? Me? Oh god. This is crazy.” She kept saying and I tried to calm her down but she wouldn’t stay calm. “Freeze!” Shouted people from behind us. We put up our hands. “Xavier… What are you doing here?” Jack asked. “I heard a scream.” I pointed over at Beverly. “Beverly Thompson?” Jack asked her. She nods. “You need to stop escaping Beverly.” Jack grabbed her arm. “But Office Jack, I heard noises. The killer is close by. Xavier you need to find the killer. Will you find the killer for me?” She asked me. “I will find the killer Beverly. You don’t have to worry about that. But I need to know how you are so good at this.” I told her. “Use your brain. I mean it is common sense. We come naturally.” She says and Jack pulls her away and hands her to the other officer.  “Beverly! Wait!” I shouted and tried to run after her but Jack pulled me away. “Beverly is crazy Xavier. She has to go back.” Jack informed. “Jack I have to know who I use what I have!” I shouted at him. “Figure it out! A detective is already on my ass and she is here right now.” Jack whispers. The detective looks at me and walks towards us. Detective Conrad smiles at me. “How did you know about this one Xavier? I know you are not crazy like that girl. So tell me, how’d you know?” She crossed her arms. “Like I told you last time detective, I am psychic. You will find me at every one of these first. I just sense that death is near and I follow that feeling.” I cross my arms copying what she does. “Well Xavier, you and your boyfriend get out of her. Got it?” She demands. We nod and walk back to the house. How did she know that he was my boyfriend? Has she been following me or something? This is beyond crazy. She like knows everything about me. Well I hope not EVERYTHING. That would be hard to explain to her that I am a banshee and a coyote. She will probably think I am crazy like Beverly. But Beverly is right…. We come naturally. I just don’t know how to shut it off or on. It just comes when it wants. That means I am going to need to learn how. Moving my coyote aside and using my banshee abilities. That is what I need to do. I grab Jace’s hand and ran back to the house. I lock the door behind us. “What are you doing?” He asked confused. “I need to learn how to use this banshee thing.” I inform. I sat down in the floor by the fire. I try to concentrate on sounds. It is hard to push my coyote aside. But I need to do it. I ignore the coyote senses and move to the banshee. I close my eyes and tried to concentrate. I started hearing trees. Like the wind blowing into the trees. Like I heard the day at the school. I heard footsteps. Someone Running. I got up from the floor and started walking into the woods. I have to follow that. I started to run and ignoring Jace’s shout. I ran into a guy and a girl running. They are twins. “What’s going on?” I asked anxiously. “Someone girl is trying to kill us!” He shouts. “Run!” I demanded. They followed me back to the house. I lock the door and covered the windows. “Um…” Jace says. “A girl is trying to kill them.” I pointed out. The twins tried to catch their breath. “Who was after you?” I asked. Jace handed them a glass of water. “This girl. We were walking into the woods and she showed up in front of us with a knife. We pushed her out of the way and started running. We are way faster than her.” They said. “Are you guys wolfs?” I asked. They nodded. Their eyes turned green. I showed them my eyes. “You are a coyote?” The girl asked. I nodded. “Also a banshee.” Jace points out. “The person that is trying to kill you guys, is a supernatural killer. The killer has been putting bodies everywhere into the woods.” Jace informed. “But why?” The guy asked. “I have no clue.” I said. “I’m Xavier by the way and that is Jace.” I introduced us. “I’m Tony. And that is Tonya.” He smiled. “Where you from?” I asked. “Cannon.” She smiled. Cannon is the next town over from Heavens Woods. “We are from Heavens Woods.” I smiled back. They both nodded. “Come on. We will get out of here and take you home.” Jace said. He put out the fire and we walked back to Jace’s car. The drive was silent. Tonya gave Jace the directions to their house. We pulled in front of a brick house with a small porch. “Thank you so much.” They said and ran inside. “I need to get some gas.” Jace pointed out and drove to a gas station. I need to find that killer. Before anything gets any worse.
