"Good afternoon, Boss" I sang as I entered the pizza shop that I've been working at for over a week now. After my embarring moment with Hunter last week in school, I haven't set my eyes on him not once.
Lima has been on my case about the star even though I kept on refusing by bringing up various excuses.
I hope he doesn't turn up here today because he seems to frequent this place a lot these days.
"Good morning Barbara. How was cool today?" Hera's Uncle replied, smiling widely at me.
"It was great. Hera said hi" I informed him.
"That naughty child," he smiled before he walked back into his office.
My friendship with Hera hasn't
Babe's POV The next morning in school, Hunter avoided me like a plague. He had always appeared in my line of vision since I stepped foot into McVegas' high but not anymore. He was leaning against his locker when I first saw him in the morning and immediately he sighted me walking towards him, he turned and walked away. I stood fixated at a spot trying to decipher what had happened. I wasn't planning on talking to Hunter in the first place but the fact that he did that made me glad I hadn't made up my mind to talk to him. He stole my first kiss and he had the nerve to act that way. Typical bad boy. "Babara, the principal wants you to see her. She's in her office," A student that I don't even know her name informed me.
Hunter's POV"Hunter, to what do I owe this visit?"The school principal smiled and gestured for me to walk into her office after I knocked twice.I was actually on my way to see her when the announcer suddenly called Babe's name so I had to wait behind for her to see the principal first before I went in.The reason why I told her those things about possibly ignoring her in days to come is actually the same reason that brought me here to the principal's office."Take your seat," she offered me the chair opposite her but I refused."No, thank you," I placed my right hand into my pocket and resisted my back against her door.
Babe's POV "Good evening, Mr. Arnold and his beautiful wife" I greeted as soon as my father opened the door to his apartment. My mother had successfully compelled me into having dinner with my father and his wife even though I didn't want to. She just has something against me! Something I can't do without. So, I didn't have any choice but to say yes. "I've missed you, Barbara and I'm glad you're here" he held my face and kissed my forehead. "Not by choice though" I muttered under my breath. "Thanks for coming, darling," my stepmother hugged me and pulled me towards her dining area. The apartment was nothing luxurious or gigantic, i
Babe's POVAunt Linda and I got to the hospital a few minutes after we received the terrifying phone call. We were both on our toes, scared and unsure of what we should feel."Where's Pinky Lesbron?" I asked as we reached the reception. My aunt was lost for words. Tears were rolling down her eyes and she wasn't saying a word."Was she admitted here tonight?" The nurse at the reception asked and I nodded."Yes, they brought her here" I confirmed her question."Give me a minute" She turned to the laptop in front of her and kept clicking the mouse for what appeared to me like hours whereas it was just for a few minutes.My aunt was already pacing the hallway in an
Babe's POVTrue to his words, Hunter waited for me after school hours. I came out of the school premises earlier than any other students so I'd quickly visit Pinky at the hospital."Hop on,"Hunter commanded and I hesitated."I almost died from a heart attack the last time I was on this death machine of yours" I complained.Hunter chuckled."If you hold on tight, you won't get hurt. You just hold on to me throughout the journey, I promise I won't hurt you"I shook my head, doubting his words."I guess I was just lucky the last time. What about your car?" I aske
Hunter's POV"Hunter,"Maj called out my name as I was about to enter the building we used as a hideout a few minutes after dropping Babe off at her apartment.It wasn't my intention to leave her there alone but I didn't have a choice, Stanny had told me something urgent was awaiting my attention and I needed to be there."Maj, I thought you disappeared from the surface of the earth," I smirked."No, I didn't. You just stopped noticing me since Barbara Arnold walked into McVegas' high" she replied, giving me her famous sad look, the same one that makes guys vulnerable and weak."I never gave you any unusual attention, Maj and you know it. We both know it was an agreeme
Babe's POV A loud crashing sound resonated across the room and I stood up from the chair sharply. I took the TV remote control and reduced the volume of the movie that I was watching. If it was an action movie, I would've deduced that the noise was from the TV but I was watching a rom-com Korean series that didn't have any action scenes except for cuddlings and kisses. My heart skipped a beat as another crashing sound reverberated. I stood fixated, I was too scared to move. Then, a coughing fit and a string of curses followed in turn. I shrieked as a loud noise of horror found its way out my throat when a completely naked man walked out of the room opposite the living room.
Babe's POVNo questions were asked on the journey to Hunter's home, the car was eerily silent. Neither the man driving nor Hunter said anything to me.Hunter was right beside me at the back of the door. He had placed me on his lap a few minutes ago, but I shifted away from him and looked out of the window as tears leaked down my face.The car drove into their compound and stopped. Hunter's mom was waiting at the door with Katie and her eyes were swollen with tears as soon as she saw me."Hunter wasn't lying," Katie declared, earning a glare from his mom."Come on, let's get you inside," Hunter's mom pulled her hand around me as we walked into their house.
Hi everyone, this is an alternative Ending to the book. This will pick up right from the moment when Babe and Hunter almost lost their lives because of Xavier. Thanks for reading.Babe's POV"Finally, I'm home,"My eyes fluttered open at some point and a shining light penetrated it.I wanted to raise my hand to block the light but I realized it wasn't possible."Barbara Arnold, can you hear me?" A voice called out my name and I looked down to see a man in a white coat at the edge of the bed.Where am I?The
Babe's POV (FIVE YEARS LATER)Paradise Creek was just a regular small town in Hamilton and this, I found out after finally visiting the town in December the next year. My mom finally let me visit since I already finished high school and I was lucky enough to graduate as my school's valedictorian.When I got to Paradise Creek, the first thing I did was visit Pinky's grave to get rid of the doubt in my mind and after four years, the tears came rolling. She had been buried beside my aunt in Paradise Creek.I visited where the school would have been and found out it was just a regular high school, there was nothing extravagant about it. There were only small houses in the town as it was majorly occupied by the older part of the population. My visit did not yield anything good,
Babe's POVMy eyes snapped open as beads of sweat run down my face, I lifted my top to clean it off my face only to discover my top was also drenched in sweat. My heart was pounding heavily.I stood up and opened my window to allow fresh morning air as I grumbled about whoever it was that closed my window at a season like this. The sun shone brightly through the window and I had to first block the sun rays from entering my eyes.Could it be my aunt or Pinky?I stopped in my tracks when I discovered the room was different. It wasn't the room I was using in my aunt's place. Why does this place look like my previous room at my mom's house?I stumbled into the bathroom and realized it
Babe's POV Tommy and Pinky soon returned back to Hera's mansion and when they did, Pinky's face was swollen. She had obviously cried her eyes out. She was a pitiful little cousin of mine and I could understand how she felt. We all sat down at the dining area to goof around and make jokes. We talked about a lot of things and the conversation of Pinky's friendship with Maj came up and my cousin had to explain herself. "I didn't befriend her because I wanted to," She stomped her feet on the ground. "You were always with her even if she only waved at you. It was as if you were worshipping the ground she walked on," Pinky groaned and glared at Tommy.
Hunter's POV"Hey, Princess,""Is everything okay?""Where are you?""I'm at Hera's place""Can you stay there till I get back? I need to be somewhere important,""What's going on?""Stanny got kidnapped and we need to save him,""Are you going alone?""No, Princess. Arnold and my dad are with me,""That's better. Go safe your friend,""I love you,"
Babe's POVLiam and Ivy's reason for not writing the exams and attending school like we did later became clear.We wrote the last exams on Friday and by Monday, most of us were jubilating, thinking the attacks have stopped and we could now live a normal life until when Monday morning came and two students were killed before I got to school did we realize we were nowhere near finished.The principal announced immediately that the school was on total closure and every student should stay at home. The final exams for senior year students would be taken at home.We were all back to square one, online schooling and finally, online exams. There was also a curfew around town. We weren't allowed to be outside before seven in the morning and after seven at nig
Babe's POV"Someone looks delectable," Pinky gushed as we walked towards Hera who was waiting by her locker.Well, the school had been closed down for about three months and it was only opened back just so we could take our exams. Everyone has been taking online classes with the help of teachers. It was as if the whole town was on lockdown. No one wanted to leave their home in fear of the vampires and parents could only agree to school opening again because the Alpha had ensured every student's safety."You girls are looking really good,"Hera complimented and Pinky could only blush."You can say that about Pinky but not me. I look terrible, trust me"
Babe's POVThe first thing I saw once I opened my eyes again was another white ceiling above my head. This time, instead of screams, I could hear murmurs, jubilation, and joy all around me.I tried standing up but I couldn't. When I looked down at what was stopping me, it was my hand locked to the bed. I frowned at the realization.Soon enough, someone brought a key and removed the heavy chains from my hand. I sat up and that was when I saw everyone around me. It was my father, my aunt, Pinky, Hera, even Tommy and Ivy who were all…..I stopped as I looked around me and I also realized that I was in a hospital room.Why am I here?
Babe's POV"Wow, I didn't know Hunter Webster still existed in this part of the world," I admonished as soon as I saw him in class. The teacher hadn't arrived as I walked in and I was also surprised to see Hunter sitting in class already.He smiled at me."Why do you reek of sarcasm so early in the morning?"He placed a quick kiss on my lips."I missed you," he confessed."Well, I didn't miss you. Moreover, I thought about breaking your neck a few times," I kicked his leg and he jumped backward."Come on, Princess. Don't be mad at me,"He pulled me into his body.
