Chapter 14 Chapter 14
Jess’s POV
The look Kieran gave me scared me “Jess I do not think that your life is going to be anything like normal working for us. Did you not see what was in the cages?”
“Yeah, but they can’t have been what they looked like they were can they?”
“Depends, tell me what you thought they were, and I will let you know if your right or not”
“Well, the first one I swear looked like a vampire, but I know that is ridicules, but she bared fangs at me”
“What would you say if you told you that you where spot on and the lady in that cage was 1054 years old. Her name is Bridget, and she was turned into a vampire when she was your age”
“What? But vampires are not real they are just fictional characters made to scare people”
“That is what people want us to think but our department studies them and makes sure that they remain a secret”
“So, I am guessing that the second cage was a werewolf as well then?”
“Yes, and the third cage is some other being from another planet. We are looking into that more closely as we want to know why it is here. Vampires and werewolves have been here for as far as we can see as long as humans have been. But we need to find out why this other being is here and what it wants. That’s the assignment that you will be working on with me”
“Ok that does not sound good have you found out if it comes in peace or not yet?”
“No, we have not found a way to communicate with it yet” He opened the car door for me to climb in, but I stood frozen.
“So, wait your telling me that we might be about to have a war with Aliens?”
“We don’t know that yet, but I have a feeling that with you on board we might just figure that out” We were both in the car now driving back to my place.
“What why do you think it will make a difference with me on the team? I am good at picking locked not aliens”
“Ok, go with me for a minute. What were your first thoughts of me?”
“Hey that’s no fair that’s personal”
“Okay fair enough your first impression of Agent Yates?”
“That he is the sort of guy who uses his fists to get what he wants”
“See what I mean you could read him. Just like you follow what your gut tells you when you are picking a lock. The only reason that you did not sense me coming up behind you was the fact that I was no threat to you as I would never hurt you”
“Even if you’re right, I am not sure that my gut instinct goes as far as aliens” We pulled up outside my house and I gave him a long hard look. “I hope that you know that I am not going to be able to sleep tonight now. You have just made all the childhood spook stories real”
“Well, my base training does include sneaking into a building undetected if you want me to come hold you in my arms all night and keep you safe”
“I can make it even easier for you. Wait here” I left him looking confused as I ran into the house. “Mum, are you home?” I yelled
“You don’t have to yell darling” My mother replied as she came out of the kitchen “what’s wrong?”
“I was wondering, well since I am 17 now and all, if um my um boyfriend can please stay the night tonight?”
“It’s a school night sweetheart are you sure that you will get up in the morning?”
“Of course I will be able to get up”
“Ok, well your dad and I are about to go away for a few days. I have made you food to keep you going while we are away”
“Thanks mum you’re the best” I gave her a big hug “So Kieran is allowed to stay the night then?”
“Yes, as long as you make sure you’re not late to school”
“No worries I can manage that” I skipped back out of the front door unable to believe my luck Kieran and I were going to have the house all to ourselves. Kieran was still looking confused when I tapped on the driver’s window.
“Hey”
“Hello so you need to go home and get yourself a change of clothes and when you come back you do not need to use any of your training. Well unless you have been trained in how to knock on a front door”
“What, you mean that your parents are ok with me staying the night?”
“Yes, and to make things even better they are going away for a few days so we will get the house all to ourselves” saying it out loud made the butterflies worse I had never wanted someone so much. I was determined that tonight was going to be the night that I lost my virginity.
“Are you sure that you want me to stay? I don’t want to put pressure on you” He took my hand as he spoke, and I could not help but laugh.
“You look so scared. I am positive that I want you to come and stay the night with me. Now go and get some spare clothes and hurry back to me as I do not want to miss you too much”
“How can I possible argue with that? I will see you as soon as I can” He gave me a quick kiss on the lips and speed off. I was just about to walk back inside when my big brother pulled up.
“Hey, Justin, what you been up to?”
“You’re talking now I thought you were going through the whole rebellion thing of I have no family”
“Ha ha you’re so funny. Na, I have grown out of that now. I have even got myself a part time job”
“Really wow all it takes s for you to hit 17 and bam you’re all grown up. Now tell me little sis who was that guy who just dropped you off?”
“Um well that would be my new boyfriend Kieran”
“Ok how the hell did you meet a guy who can afford a car like that? Please tell me you have not been selling yourself?”
“You prick” I yelled as I punched him in the nose. I did not even look back as I stormed to my room.
“What happened love?” my mum asked as I stormed past
“Ask your arsehole of a son” I screamed as I slammed my bedroom door. How could my brother think so little of me? I fell on to my bed and started to cry. I had not cried since I was at primary school
