Abigail

[|The insanity that IS my life.pages] Hey guys!!! Can you give me some ideas for a title? It would help a lot!!! Thanks.

It was a usual rainy, boring old Wednesday in Middle School. My 6th period teacher babbling on about Lewis and Clark for the third day in a row, me sitting and staring out the window wondering what it was like to be anywhere but here. I was starting to fall asleep just like the whole class until she called on me to answer a question. “Wyoming, who helped Lewis and Clack during their journey?” “Sacajawea.” I said, half heartedly. (I already knew the answer from her talking about it so much.) Then my teacher went on to the next victim to call on. I resumed looking out the window and noticed a man standing on the roof of the church. //What the heck is that man doing on top of the roof while its storming out?// I thought. //Oh no. Not this guy again. I thought he was dead. What is he doing at my school? How did he find me?// All of these thoughts rushed through my head as I was starting to panic. I waited to see what he’d do, to see if he would dare to step foot onto school property, but I got distracted by my teacher when she called me out and said, “Wyoming, is there something so interesting out the window that all of us need to see?” By the time she was done completing her sentence everyone was staring at me to see what was going on. //Way to put me in the spotlight. Thanks!// I thought to myself. I answered with a nervous “No, ma’m.” and she continued talking. I waited for the right moment where she wasn’t paying attention to me and I looked out the window at the roof again. He was gone. //Uh-oh this can’t be good. He wouldn’t come in the school would he?// I thought nervously tapping my fingers on the desk. I looked at the doors, then the windows, then at my teacher who looked like she wished she had laser vision to zap me with. “Is something wrong Miss Fang?” she said. I could tell she was getting upset with me because she never called me //Miss Fang// unless I was doing something wrong. “Nope, nothing at all.” I stammered. “Ok, but please pay attention or else I might have to keep you after school.” said the teacher turning her back to the blackboard. “You won’t need to do that ma’m.” I groaned. I guess during that process the man slipped through the window because I heard screaming and then evil laughter. I turned around to see that he had a hostage in his hand. //Great.// I thought, //He had to choose Tyler, the guy I liked in this school.// “Wyoming, stand up and fight me! Or else the kid dies.” I stood up turned around and looked the man right in the eye. “You picked the wrong time to mess with me.” I said in a low growl. “What? Did you see your report card?” the man said with a hardy laugh. “You think your so funny,” I sneered, “Well laugh at this.” I heard screams as I transformed into the wolf that has been hiding inside of me the whole time. I lunged at the mans throat but he pushed me away. I grabbed ahold of his pants and dragged him around the classroom until the pant leg ripped off and made me stumble backwards. As the man struggled to stand up a ran and grabbed his hat off of his head. I’m trying to prove that I can kill him just as easy as a coyote could kill a chicken. He backed up into the corner as I went to jump for the throat again. Instead of pushing me away he pulled a silver dagger out of his pocket and stabbed me in the ribcage, right below the heart. The silver burned my skin as I laid on the floor clutching my side. I never thought silver would be the death of me. Silver. The color of my eyes, the color of the misty sky, the color of pure death. The cold metal that is deadly to any werewolf. The color that is surely the end of the road for my wandering soul. I heard shouts coming from the crowd. As I was transforming back my friends, Monica and Jessica, came pushing through the crowd ready to fight the man with no name, but he already had left through the window, sparing Tyler’s life for another day. They seen me on the floor and rushed over. “We need to take her to the hospital now.” barked Monica. “Well no kidding Sherlock Holmes!” Jessica replied. “We can’t take her to the regular hospital though.” Monica said. “I call driving!” Jessica said cheerfully. “Guys, I’m dying here. Literally. Hurry it up will ya?” I weakly spoke. “Oops sorry, come on lets go.” Monica said grabbing ahold of my arms and dragging me. Jessica grabbed my feet when it came to the stairs and they lifted me up like I was a rag doll. We were half way out the door when Tyler grabbed ahold of Jessica and demanded to go with. “Do we really have to argue about this right now? I mean she is dying as we speak.” Jessica snapped. “I think I should be able to go with because I am the one who she was protecting you know.” Tyler remarked. “Fine get in her truck and lets go.” Jessica gave in. The drive to the hospital was very crazy. There was speeding, cops, then police escorts. By the time we arrived I think there might of been a few crashes caused by our truck. I was literally picked up and flung over Tyler’s shoulder to be carried into the hospital. //My dream come true.// I thought. //Except for I wasn’t dying in my dream.// I was immediately set on a bed and rushed into a room where they could stabilize me and start injecting medicine into my veins and body. The burning instantly stopped. I was so glad that there were werewolf doctors in the united states, or else I would be dead right now. As I laid in the bed resting I heard a soft voice enter the room. “Wyoming, how are you doing? Feeling better? Monica and Jessica explained everything. Man, I feel really horrible about this.” Tyler said sitting down in the chair besides my bed. “Like you had any control over that guy coming to try and kill you and me. I’m just glad I’m not dead.” I said so softly I thought I might need a microphone just to hear myself. “Well the main important thing is that you are safe. Not dead in the classroom. If it weren’t for your friends you would have been.” “I know, they save my klutzy self all the time. I owe them a lot.” I said trying to make a joke, but when I laughed I felt the cut in my side start to hurt and I winced. “Try to get some rest, I’ll come back tomorrow.” he said brushing the hair away from my face. //Wow, it takes me almost dying for him to finally realize that he likes me. I should of done this years ago!// I thought to myself silently. Finally I passed out after it reached three in the morning.

When I woke up in the afternoon I was already healed and ready to go back to school. I had a large scar where the stab wound was. I was already out of bed and dressed when the doctor came in and seen me. “What do you think you are doing?” he said impatiently. “Playing twister with Santa Clause. What does it look like genius?” I said in my usual smart aleck tone. “Well I know what you are doing Miss Fang but I am wondering who told you to get out of bed and walk around like God has just healed you?” “I told myself sir. Is there something wrong with that?” “No go ahead. There is no use in fighting with you.” “Good. I’m glad you finally see things my way doc.” I was about to walk out of the door when security blocked it and folded his arms. “Alright, alright, you win. I give up. I won’t leave.” I groaned. “I’m glad you finally see things my way Wyoming.” the doctor said mocking me. “Oh shut it.” I mumbled hatefully. I got back into the bed and laid down. I thought about what happened yesterday. It didn’t feel real at all, it felt like it was only just a dream. I started to doze off again when a slight chill brushed up against my face. I opened my eyes to see that the window was open, with no screen in it. //Someone could fall out of that or it could let a crazy bird in.// I thought as I got up to close the odd window. When I came close to the window I felt as if someone was watching me. I turned around to see the one and only man with no name. “Wha... what are you doing here?” I stammered trying to not sound afraid. “I came to finish the job. Apparently silver didn’t work. I guess a window on the 20th floor of a hospital building will work.” He said taking a step closer. “No the silver worked perfectly, you don’t have to kill me right now you know. Just break my arm or something and cause me more pain, then save killing me for another day.” I said trying to distract the guy. “Nope, close but no cigar.” said the man with the most evilest smile ever. He took another step forward and then pushed me right out the window. Luckily I have good reflexes and grabbed onto the ledge. “You just won’t die will you? Why do you make this so hard on me?” he said stepping on my hand to make me let go of the ledge. I looked at the traffic below me that was sure to lead to certain death, but then again that is what I said last time. “You really want to get rid of me don’t you? Why? What did I ever do to you to get you so angry at me? Did I accidentally step on your shoe while I was walking down the street or something?” I asked half chuckling half fearing for my life. “Wyoming, Wyoming, Wyoming. Being a smart aleck till the second of your death aren’t you. Go ahead say whatever you want, I don’t care. This time though you do have to die.” I closed my eyes fearing for the worst as he went to go knock my hands off the ledge. When nothing happened I opened them, he disappeared. I heard noises coming from the window I was hanging from. It sounded like a good fight was going on. I pulled myself up and rested on the floor. Looking over my shoulder I seen the doctor and Tyler fighting the man. “Tyler,” I said weakly, “Run, now, before he kills you.” “I’m not leaving you, not now, not ever.” “That’s romantic but I kinda want you to leave, I mean now.” I warned. “Ok ok but don’t say I never fought for you.” he said giving up. I shifted into a wolf quicker than you can say abracadabra. I growled and then got in a fighting position. Finding the right time to strike I grabbed the evil mans leg and tore at it with all the strength I had. It didn’t work. He just stood there trying to punch my doctor in the face. I then jumped for the throat and got knocked away once again. Trying to not make a stupid mistake like last time I went for the stomach. It was then I noticed the silver dagger sticking out of his pocket. As I tried to move in the air as much as possible he grabbed the cursed weapon and tried attacking the very sarcastic doctor with it. Taking advantage of this time I grabbed onto the mans back and dragged him to the window with my fangs holding onto his clothes. I let go of him in front of the window and let the man stand up. While he was still dazed I jumped on him and pushed him out the window. Transforming back I stood and looked out the window that seemed to be the main attraction for death. “So how does it feel to be the one hanging over the edge this time?” I said glaring at the helpless man. “You worthless shape shifters! All you do is cause this world grief and agony by polluting her very body. Luckily mother earth has heros like us that slaughter the monsters like you one at a time!” “How are we hurting mother earth? How are we causing her pain and agony? From what I seen my whole life it is you wretched humans who have polluted her air, land, and water. You also don’t even notice that while you are polluting her you are slowly but surely polluting and killing yourself in the process. So you say we are the ones to blame and shall be put to suffering? I think not!” “Wyoming when did you start talking like a smart person?” Tyler said entering the room. “I thought I told you to wait outside?” I said looking away from the window. During this time the man got onto the ledge and took out is dagger lunged and stabbed me not even a centimeter away from the heart. “Darn, looks like I need to work on my aim. Oh well, second times a charm.” The man raised the dagger above his head and was in mid-strike until a figure tackled him onto the ground. It was Tyler. “No... Don’t... Just... Let me... Die...” I managed to stammer. Seconds later I passed out on the floor, surrounded in my own little pool of blood. The mad man knocked Tyler out, stopped by me to see what he accomplished, and nodding approvingly he left.

//Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.// The annoying sound of the heart rate monitor had awaken me. Keeping a soft yet steady beat. As I went to move I felt a sharp pain in my side. As the pain jolted through me the heart rate monitor got faster and faster. When the nurse came in to check on me she dropped her clip board and rushed out the door into the hall. “Doctor, she’s alive! I mean she’s awake.” the nurse shouted with excitement. “Is she okay? Is she acting normal?” the doctor replied. “I don’t know let me check.” said the nurse walking in. “Hello, so glad your able to be conscious again!” she said over excitedly. “Why are you so excited for? Did you have sugar with your cup of coffee or coffee with your cup of sugar?” I replied sarcastically as normal. “Yup she is okay.” I heard the nurse say in a sadder tone. The doctor walked in and I gave him my biggest “//I’m innocent//” smiles. He looked at me and said: “Yup she’s back to normal. For a few hours there you were being nice to everybody. Too bad it stopped.” “I’m so glad you enjoy my compony Dr...” “Dr. Wolf. I’m so glad you know my name.” the doctor sneered. “Wow, that’s not an obvious name. It’s also so original.” “Oh shut it you sarcastic fool. Your lucky I was able to save your life. For the amount of blood loss and the stab wound that was directly right next to your heart had almost killed you.” “Ok thank you, I guess. But aren’t doctors supposed to save your life no matter what?” I said. The doctor gave me the most evilest death look ever and I finally decided to give up being a jerk for at least today. “Ok, ok I’ll be nicer. Do you know where Tyler is?” “Well if you turn around you will see that he is in the hospital bed on the other side of the room.” Turning around I said, “Oh no! What happened? Did he get stabbed? Is he in a coma?” “No,” the doctor replied, “He has a bad case of stupidity. He he has been here all night waiting for you to wake up. I don’t know why someone would even think of doing that!” I looked at the doctor with a “//you better run for life in a few seconds//” look and he backed out of the room saying: “Someones having a heart attack? I’ll be there in a second nurse!” I smiled and turned around to see Tyler awakening and going to check on me. Seeing that I was awake he smiled and walked over to my bed. Sitting down on the mattress right next to me he started to say: “Oh look sleeping beauty has finally awaken.” “Sleeping, yes. Beauty, no.” I corrected him. “Well your a beauty to me in my eyes.” he said smiling. “Ok what do you want? I only have ten dollars and its in my jeans pocket.” “Nothing can’t I complement you?” he said as if he was hurt that I said that. “No, I’m not used to it. People usually want something from me if they compliment me.” “Oh, well you know what I want?” he said smiling. “A bucket of KFC’s fried chicken?” I tried to ask without laughing. “No,” he said smiling, “I want you to go to the movies with me when you get outta here.” “Well I guess thats ok.” I said trying not to smile or show I was joking, but it got the best of me and I grinned. He leaned over to give me a hug. I thought to myself //Well it looks like something can be normal in your life, Wyoming.// I looked out the window, and for a split second the man with no name and no purpose in life had appeared and disappeared from view when the lightning had struck. But at that moment in time, I decided not to worry about it.
