I know that it has been forever since I uploaded a chapter and I'm really sorry for that. I decided that I am going to continue with the story and I should be able to upload more chapters a lot more because I don't have school anymore. I still have sports though so I don't know. Well, anyways I'm sorry and I hope you like it :)
I woke up and I put my hand up to my eyes, I rubbed my eye a bit and looked around. It took me a second to feel the warmth that was under me. I was laying on top of Salem with my head laying on his chest and his arms were wrapped around me. I looked up at his face and he was out like a light. He must still be really tired from last night. I looked at the stair case and I saw light shining down from it. I inhaled deeply and let out a long breath. Spyros's head popped out of the ceiling in the middle of the room and I looked at him.
Spyros giggled loudly and said, "Ewwww!" He then flew flew down from the ceiling and flew up the stairs and outside screaming, "Ewww ewww ewww ewww ewwwyyyyy!"
I looked up at Salem and he was still sound asleep. I set my head back down on his chest and I wrapped my arms around under his back. I closed my eyes and I felt myself getting tired again.
I woke up to Salem moving and I was laying on my side Salem had his body pressed up against my back. I could feel his hand rubbing up and down from my waist to my thigh. He must be awake now. I didn't move and I just pretended to still be asleep, I like the way he was sliding his hand up and down my waist. He eventually stopped and put his arms around me. I turned around in the bed and I looked at him.
"You awake?" I asked.
"Yeah I've been awake for a while."
"Okay well, I'm gonna go take a shower," I said.
"Okay."
I sat up and I stood up from the bed sliding out of his arms. I turned and I looked at him and then I walked into the bathroom. I turned on the faucet and felt the heat of the water until I decided it was the right temperature. I grabbed a towel out of my bathroom closet, set it on the floor and I stepped into the shower closing the glass sliding door behind me. After a few minutes of showering I heard the door creak open.
"Yeah?" I asked.
Salem's voice called through the crack of the door. "Sorry, I'm not looking but I'm just wondering, do you have any extra toothbrushes?"
"No, but we can go into town and get some stuff, we have to go into town anyways to give Kerrigan the soul."
"Okay, that sounds good. I would like to get some clothes too."
"Okay we will go in a bit," I said.
After I got done with my shower I got dressed. I could tell it was going to be a bit chilly today so I put on a black sweat shirt, a black skirt, purple and black long striped socks that went up to my knees, black shoes and I let my dark violet hair drape down over my shoulders after I straightened it like usual. I walked out of the bathroom and Salem was at the desk gulping down the last bit of a bowl of cereal he must have made.
"You want me to make you anything to for breakfast?" He asked me.
"Uh.. no thanks I'm not really in the mood for anything, I'll grab an orange or something, you ready to go now?" I asked.
"I would like to shower first, is that okay?" he asked.
"Yeah go ahead."
Salem stood up from the desk and walked into the bathroom. I heard the shower turn and the shower door slide close. I wondered what a guy would look like showering, he seems to take a lot less time showering than I do. I walked up to the bathroom door and peaked through the keyhole. I couldn't see anything though all I saw was an outline of him and the fog on the glass shower door. I stood up and sat on my bed just thinking about him and eventually I snapped out of my day dream and walked up to the kitchen area. I looked at the jar with Nico's soul in it and I unscrewed the the lid. I grasped my hand around the soul and pulled it out looking at it. I wondered how much stronger it makes people if you actually consume these souls. It supposedly can make people really powerful. I walked over to my bed and took my hat off the nail in the wall. I put the soul in my hat and placed my hat on my head.
The shower shut off and I heard the shower door slide open. I could hear him drying off and then all of a sudden I heard him yell which was followed by a long line of curse words of anger. Spyros came flying through the bathroom door laughing so loud that if he was human his head would have popped right off his shoulders. Salem came blasting out of the door with a towel around his waist screaming.
"I'M GONNA KILL HIM, I DON'T CARE IF HE'S DEAD! I'M GONNA BRING HIM BACK TO LIFE, GIVE HIM A TERRIBLE DEATH FULL OF PAIN AND THEN EXCORSIZE HIM INTO HELL!"
I didn't even know how to react to this, Salem was screaming his lungs out at Spyros and Spyros was doing flips because he was laughing so loud. I eventually stood up and screamed at both of them.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE HELL UP!"
They both went dead silent and I stared at both of them. Taking a deep breath in I screamed at the top of my lungs at Spyros.
"SPYROS IF YOU DON'T GET OUT OF MY SITE IN FIVE SECONDS I WILL PERSONALLY FIND YOUR DEAD BODY AND MAKE IT INTO CHILI AND FEED IT TO A DOG!"
Spyros flew through the ceiling in less than a second and I could hear the slight sound of him crying until the sound faded away to silence. I looked at Salem who was staring at me with a scared look. He then mumbled to me.
"Uhh.. um.. thank you, I guess I over reacted just a lit.."
"Just go get dressed," I said, cutting him off.
He walked into the bathroom and a few minutes later he came out dressed like he usually is. I stood up and starting walking up the stairs without even saying anything to him and he followed me.
I looked up at the cloudy sky and the wind blowing against my face. The ground was damp underneath my feet. It must have just recently rained. Salem came out of the coffin behind me and the lid of the coffin slid closed after he hopped out.
"You know that we slept until like four? Its like going onto the evening now," said Salem.
"Jeez we really slept that long? For some reason I'm still tired too."
"Yeah me too, we had a rough day yesterday."
I squatted down and put my hand on the ground. I started pulling my hand up slowly from the ground and a small tree followed my hand. The tree grew to about waist high and an orange grew out of one of the branches. I plucked the orange from the tree and then the tree receded back into the ground. Vines then sprung from the ground with my broom entangled within the vines, I pulled my broom from the vines and then the vines fell back into the ground.
"Is Spyros alright?" Salem asked.
"Yeah, hes fine he just doesn't like being yelled at by me, he gets really sensitive for some reason when I yell."
"Oh, okay then. Well you wanna head into town now?"
"Yeah sure."
I placed my broom under my thighs and I lifted up off the ground. Salem created a giant jack-o-lantern and he hovered upward next to me. We started to fly toward the town and Salem looked back at the graveyard.
"The graveyard seems really gloomy today," he said.
"Yeah, it all depends on the weather pretty much," I said.
As we flew toward the town I peeled my orange and ate it slice by slice. As we got closer to the town we flew lower to the ground and walked so we wouldn't be seen flying. Flying during the day is a bad idea, at night you can fly all you want in at town as long as you are high enough up.
We stopped at a few stores and got Salem his clothes, and then we got him a few toiletries for his hygiene.
"Thank you for buying all this stuff for me by the way," he said.
"Oh no problem money is never really a problem for me," I said.
"Yeah, how do you make money anyways?"
"The people in town think I run a small farm or something I think, I sell the supermarkets fruit for a really marked down price from where they usually get there food, so they are always happy when I sell them fruits and veggies."
"Where do you get the fruits and stuff?"
"I can grow them, I'm a witch remember?"
"Oh yeah.. duh."
We walked around for a bit just talking and we walked to the Organization hide out. We came to the dead end of the alley and I put my pinky and fore finger on two bricks. I muttered "Halloween in Salem."
The brick wall in front of us receded into the ground and we walked into the hallway. The wall behind us slid back up into its original place and it went pitch black around us. A burst of orange light came from Salem's hands. He was holding two jack-o-lanterns, one in each hand to light up the hallway. He walked down the corridors for a while until we came to a door. Before we could open the door, the door flung open by itself and Kerrigan sat in the room at the table.
"Ah.. I knew you two would show up soon," Kerrigan said.
"Yeah, we got our first soul," said Salem.
"You two might want to pick up the pace, Willow and Heather are already looking for their third soul."
"We had to go all the way to Italy, that wasn't easy you know." I said.
"Don't make up excuses I know that Salem can teleport."
I sighed and looked at Salem. He just looked at me then shrugged.
"You two seem to be getting along well, that's good just don't let it get in your way from getting the souls."
"Yes ma'am." Both Salem and I said simultaneously.
"Now hand over that soul and get on to the next."
I walked up to the table and I took off my hat, I pulled to soul out of it and I handed it to Kerrigan.
"Now both of you leave me, I have a lot of work to do."
We both were walking out the door and then Kerrigan said quickly.
"Oh wait, Salem I need to talk to you. Alone."
I shot a confused look at Salem and he walked back into the room.
"Alicia you can go back home, Salem will catch up with you later."
"Okay."
Before the door closed Salem tossed a glowing Jack-o-lantern at me and I caught it.
"Use it for light," he said.
I nodded and the door slammed in my face. I started to walk back but then I stopped. I wanted to hear what they were saying. I shot a vine out of my sleeve and I had the vine slide under the door slightly. I pulled the vine out of my sleeve and I put my finger on the end of it. I pushed my finger into the vine and it hollowed it out. I put my ear up against the end of the vine and I just barely hear what they were saying. I heard Kerrigan's voice talking.
"You... better not... lover boy... focused."
It was no use I couldn't hear was she was saying. Then I heard Kerrigan scream.
"I DON'T GIVE A SHIT!"
I jumped at her yelling and I pulled the vine back into my sleeve. I turned around and I bumped into something. I took a step back and staring at me was Heather.
"Eavesdropping are we?"
"Shut up Heather, you better not say anything or else you're dead."
"Easy Alicia easy, I wasn't going to say anything." Heather said smirking a bit.
"Good, you better not. Where is Willow?"
"Out looking for the our fourth soul, I just got the third, you might wanna pick up the pace girly or else Kerrigan might get pissed at you."
"Shut up, I know what I'm doing."
I walked around Heather and started to walk down the hallway.
"Ya know, you really should learn to respect your elders," said Heather.
"You're only a like a year older than me, you really can't keep your mouth shut can you?"
Heather turned around and walked up to me and placed her hand under my chin.
"Your such a cute little girl, but the thing is, I suggest you keep your hands off of Salem. He's mine alright?"
I laughed a little bit at this. "Aww, poor Heather is jealous because I got partnered with Salem and you didn't"
"You think I'm joking, I seriously will kill you," she said.
"Good luck," I mumbled and I turned around. I walked away from her. I could still feel her eyes peering into my back as I walked away until I turned a corner. I kept walking down the hallway and until I came to a dead end. I put my fingers on the wall and muttered.
"Halloween in Salem."
The brick wall shook down into the ground and I walked outside. I summoned up my broom from some vines under the ground and I looked up at the cloudy night sky. The moon was invisible because of the clouds. I hopped on my broom and flew off toward the graveyard. When I got there I walked down the stairs and Spyros was just floating there day dreaming.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, and I'm sorry for what happened earlier. I don't like to make you mad," he said.
"Its fine, I'm sorry I yelled at you like that."
"It's okay."
"So we're okay then?" I asked.
"Yeah of course, your gonna have to do a lot better than that to get rid of me." Spyros said giggling loudly.
"Yeah I know." I said laughing a bit.
I heard the coffin above the stairs open up and Salem walked down. He stared at us for a bit walked through Spyros and sat at the desk.
"Sorry I scared you," Spyros said.
"Its fine, your a ghost that's what your supposed to do."
"Okay so we're still friends?"
"I don't know about friends, don't push it ghosty, but I accept your apology," said Salem.
"Okay good," said Spyros.
"So what did Kerrigan talk to you about?" I asked.
"Nothing."
"C'mon tell me, please?"
"I told you, nothing."
"Okay fine.." I said a little disappointed.
"Alright well see ya guys later," said Spyros as he flew through the ceiling.
I walked over to my bed and fell onto it, pulling the covers over me. I looked at Salem for a few moments and said.
"You wanna lay down with me?"
"No I shouldn't"
"Why not we have done it before?"
"Yeah I know, I just.. I don't know."
"Come here, please?" I asked.
He just sat there at the desk looking at his feet. I stood up and I walked over to him.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"Nothing's wrong," he said as he looked up at me.
I sat down on his lap and I inched my face closer to his, I stared into his black eyes for a moment and our lips connected. His lips brushed up against mine a few times until he pulled away. I wrapped my arms around him giving him a long hug.
"I'm really starting to like you," I said.
Salem didn't say anything. I stood up and pulled Salem up with me, walked over to the bed I fell into the bed with Salem. We were laying next to each other until I felt myself getting tired, then I felt my eyes slowly shut.
Well there it is, my fifth chapter. I hope you liked it. Please review, thank you :)
