Blood Cut (chp 2) part 3

[twistedrealityoflove]

Yalana rolled over and woke up to sunlight shining through the window. She felt as if she were about to throw up, but soon remembered that she drank one to many beers for her body to handle. She tried to sit up, but felt a slight dizzyness so she laid back down. Eventualy managing to get up, she made her way to the couch where there was a note laying on the coffee table. Picking it up she slowly made out the words.

Jerico and I have gone out to start looking for a house. Michelle is coming over later to check up on you (four beers and I know your going to have atleast a little bit of a hangover), so maybe you two can hangout today. Any way, don't be to hard on yourself, but you should start getting an idea as to what your going to do for the "dance off". Salicia might be all talk and no game, but she's the best dancer in the town. No offense to you. Other than that have a nice day.
Love,
Joey

P.S. Michelle will be here around 12:00

She smiled and looked at the clock. 11:30, she had just enough time to get fully awake and gather some stuff up for the day. She gathered up some clothes, in hopes she would take a shower later, a sketch book, and a bag to put it all in. Five minutes to 12:00 and there came a knock on the door. Yalana answered it to see that it was Michelle so she grabbed her bag, and they managed to leave before the clock tower struck. They went to go see a movie, your standard chick flick, girl meets boy, girl likes boy, girl goes through emotional breakdown, and boy in turn falls in love with girl. After they headed to the beach where they enjoyed the view, and Yalana started to sketch something.

"You know your like the first person in years to stand up to Salicia." Michelle stated while sticking her feet in the ocean as the small waves crashed up againist the shore.

"Yeah I know." Yalana sighed continuing her sketch, "She just got to me, I mean Joey being my boyfriend and all. I guess I let out all of my anger on her."

"She gets to alot of people. Most know of Joey's situation with her and try to help him out." Michelle said while walking back up to where Yalana was sitting, "The bartender even helps him out. Any way, you want a coffee? I'm thirsty."

"Sure caffiene please. I'd like to stay awake."

"K, I'l be right back."

Joey walked along side the street, and thought of Yalana. Could he be right about her father, and if so, could he protect her to his fullest content. He looked ahead at a coffee shop to see Michelle walking out.

"Hey Michelle!" Joey called out

"Joey, hey!" Michelle exclaimed, "Where's Jerico?"

"He's back at the base, I told him I had to get something from HELL." he lied.

"Oh really?" Michelle asked examining his face.

"Yeah I ordered something a week ago and I'm going to see if it's in." he smiled patheticly.

"You came to see Yalana didn't you?"

"What gave us away?"

"The holding hands....don't worry I'm not going to tell Jerico."

"Phew, now that I've got that off my shoulders, where is she?"

"Out by the beach follow me."

Michelle lead him to the still sketching Yalana, who imeadiatly sensed their presence and closed her sketch book.

"I'll be over at the pier." Michelle stated walking away after giving Yalana her coffee.

"Hey!" Yalana smiled

"Hey there sunshine." Joey said while sitting down beside her, "How's the hangover?"

"Ah killer headache and I'm trying to stay awake." She confessed

"Haven't pucked yet?"

"No, not yet, but there goes my appetite."

"Aww," Joey laughed while playfully wrapping her arms around her, "is ther anything I can do to bring it back?"

"Well----"

Yalana's sentence was cut off by a high pitched scream. Joey and Yalana looked over at the pier to see a black man with a white t-shirt, and blue jeans, take Michelle's purse and push her over the edge of the pier. Michelle, barely managing to catch herself, continued to scream while dangling from a 19 foot drop to a shallow sharp-rock bedded ocean. Running towards the pier Yalana as Joey went on to catch the guy the took Michelles purse. Joey, with a few punches and kicks, managed to get it back and ran to help Michelle. Meantime Yalana hurriedly dropped to the sand and drew a small alchemy circle. She knew if she used alchemy HE would find her, but she had to save Michelle. Pressing her hands down in the middle of the circle she prayed that it was a strong enough spell to save Michelle, or atleast try to. Michelle lost grip and let go of the pier, but Joey catching her in the nick of time wasn't enough. Her hand slipped soon after and she was falling towards the ocean. Yalana closed her eyes as a wave of alchemy surged out of the ocean of the ocean pushing Michelle high enough for Joey to grab her and pull her on to the pier. With a sigh of relief, Yalana ran towards them. Michelle, sobbing in Joey's arms, turned to and hugged Yalana as she stopped in front of them.

"Holy shit, I thought I was going to die!" Michelle exclaimed sitting down on a bench, "Thanks Yalana."

"No problem, but if Joey hadn't have caught you for that slit second my spell would've been to late." She smiled comfortingly.

"How about we go to your house so you can grab a couple of things, take a shower is you'd like, then you can come stay the night with all of us at the base." Joey suggested kindly.

Michelle smiled, thanked them both once again, and walked with them to her car. Deciding Joey should drive, Michelle handed him the keys as Yalana ran back quickly to get her bag. She returned and they were off.
