I had never felt so alone. I sat in a class room full of people who talked, worked and listened to the teacher talk. All these people around me, yet all I felt was loneliness. My heart had been shattered into a thousand pieces and then trampled on over and over again. I was alone and nothing would change that. Just blackness that surrounded me, that would never change. No sign of light anywhere anymore.
Sometimes I thought it would be better if I just went back to where I first came from, where I first ran away from, where I still ran from. But the thought of it made my blood boil. It was worse; could you imagine anything worse than the feeling of loneliness?
"Angel?" I heard a voice "are you ok, you look like you're going to be sick" asked Sarah who sat next to me. I smiled at her. She was pretty, blonde hair flowed down her face showing of her ice blue eyes.
"Just tired that's all". I replied.
There was a knock at the end of the class room door, at the front right corner of the room. The principle walked in and behind him was a new student, but not any new student. My blood fell from my face as I stared at a pair of cold grey eyes. Eyes that I never wanted to see again, Eyes that I grew up-seeing. I sat frozen in place as the guy stood in front of the class.
"This is James" the principle stood next him. Giggles went around the class room. Sure he was extremely good looking which was what made it worse. They all were good looking but I could picture the girls back where he came from chasing him endlessly. "He is a new student, so please make him feel welcome".
All I felt like doing was running away. Away from the guy in front of the class to some where no one could find me.
The teacher showed him to a seat on the other side of the room. My heart beat down on me. Oh god. "Wow, he is cute" Sarah whispered over to me as she dragged the 'cute' out. I sat staring at the front of the class. "Hay, are you sure you're ok?" "You look like you've seen a ghost or something".
I looked at her. "Fine" I whispered to her "I'm fine". The bell rang for lunch. I don't know how I got out of the class so quickly but I did. The door shut behind me before any of the students had even gotten of their seats.
I walked through the school just walked and walked not thinking where to go or what to do. My breathing started to quicken and my palms where starting to sweat. I could see people glancing at me as I walked through corridors and across pavements. Although, I eventually found myself at my locker opening it. As I grabbed a snack bar I had brought to school I could see my hands trembling. I just wanted to roll up into a ball and hide.
"Hay, there you are, I've been trying to look for you everywhere". Sarah's voice was next to me "you literally pounced out of the class when the bell rang". She started dragging me by the arm towards the cafeteria "come on". I eventually started walking with her normally. As we came up to our table. One thing was clear; it had way too many girls there, which wasn't good. Usually it was just, Sarah, a couple of other girls, some boys and me. One of the boys moved over for me "Hay Angel" he whispered to me. "The new student seems to have everyone at his feet". He grinned at me as I tried to smile. Sam, he was good looking I guess but then I had seen a lot of good looking people in my time. I bit into my apple loving the crunchy and juiciness. "Hay Angel" said another guy who came and sat next to me at the edge of the seat. I few more heads turned around to say hi. I had always gotten heads to turn to stare. That was the thing; everyone thought I was extremely pretty. My long dark hair fell waving down my back, and my golden eyes made everyone's head turn. It had been part of the family gene. But the way I looked only reminded me of them. I shivered thinking about my family. But all I thought about was how beautiful each and every human was. They all had something unique about them. From the eye colour, to the hair or just the atmosphere that they surrounded. I always wished to be like them but I knew I always had my other half side that could change into. Like he was, it was funny really. Trying to run away from something that I was.
My mother had been human but my father wasn't. He was a Detrix. In fact he was royalty or should I say King to the Detrix, or in a way you would understand, a vampire. But what made it worse was the fact that this made me half human, half Detrix. This was the biggest and most secretes thing we had in our family. Me. I hated it. You see I was different, since I was the way I was, I could either be a human or Detrix whenever I liked. I just had to change to whichever one. My father wanted me to play princess to everyone and stay Detrix. But I couldn't handle the pain anymore. I had been there for 80 years, watched my mother die in my arms, and seen death over and over again. So I ran.
"Are you feeling alright? You were out of that room like I'd never seen before" said Thom who sat next to me.
I laughed, trying to cover just how I was feeling. "Yeah, I guess I needed some air". Soon we were all in a conversation about random stuff, laughing. But I still felt like running because the guy was sitting just down the table from me.
"So where did you come from?" Asked Thom, all eyes were on James apart from mine. I couldn't bear to stare at those ashy eyes.
"I came from Paris" he said. His voice was really raspy, really sexy. My jaws locked. Everything about him was too familiar, the way he looked, the way he talked and the way he acted. He absorbed all the attention, loved it, and wanted it.
"Hay Angel, you're from Paris too aren't you?" One of the girls asked as she sat right next to James.
"Yeah" I smiled at her. I wanted to get away from this. That's when I looked at him. It was those eyes that gave me chills. Made my blood run cold, they brought back to many memories.
"Interesting" he asked his eyes never left mine. I looked away.
The rest of the day was like that as well. The small stares from him made me a nerves wreck. When I finally reached home to my bed I jumped under the blankets and cried. I had loved my father and mother more than anything but the things that happened I couldn't handle. I missed my father. This had happened only a few times, my father had been looking for me. They would find me and I would run. But this was different usually when they found me they didn't enrol into school.
I fell asleep and when I woke up it was dark. I grabbed my blanket and climbed out the window onto the roof. I lay back staring at the stars.
"So this is what you do" the raspy voice came from behind me. My heart stopped oh god. He sat next to me and looked at the stars. I knew he knew just how tense I was.
"What do you want?" I asked. My jaws were tight.
"I honestly don't know" "there's something about you that's different; most girls are all over me". He stated. That's when I knew who he was, the son of the lady Blue. Great that crazy lady was always trying to be with my father; as soon as my mother died she was all over him. To make things worse her son that was all was everywhere but with her was sitting next to me. He was the biggest playboy/badass of our kind.
"Go away". I whispered, I felt like screaming it. Leave and don't come back just leave me alone.
"Go to dinner with me" he said, more of a statement.
"No thank you" I stood up and climbed back through the window. I expected him to leave but he didn't.
"May I ask why?" he was acting as if there wasn't anything in the way.
"I'm not interested, now please leave" I walked out of my bed room to the front door. Opened it and waited for him to leave. In my head I begged him to really leave the whole town and just go.
He walked out the door and turned towards me. "Ok then, good night Angel" he bent down and lightly brushed my cheek with his lips. I shivered, our eyes met and I found myself staring into a pair of soft eyes instead of cold. I felt my breath catch and my eyes go a little wider. He lightly whispered "I won't give up though" and with that he turned and walked down the steps to the pavement. He turned giving me one last glance before he disappeared in the night.
I felt a tear fall down to my cheek as I closed the front door. What was that? I walked back to my bed room and lay on my bed thinking about him.
I dreamed about him that night, he was standing there with two girls on either side of him both having the same marks on their necks. Blood stained his mouth and their necks. His eyes stared at one of the girls the same way he had stared at me and then I realised that the girl was me.
I woke up panicking needing something to drink desperately. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a drink from the fridge. I closed the fridge door and there stood James. I jumped back frightened. I looked up at his face "Don't ever do that again" I sat on a stool and drank the drink.
"What did you dream about, you looked so scared and then I don't know you just woke up breathing really heavily" He walked over to the bench and leaned against it towards me "what happened?"
"You did" I gulped the last part of the drink and placed the container on the bench. I looked up at him to see his reaction.
"Why are you scared of me?" he looked at me intensely
"I don't know, maybe the fact that you randomly turn up on my roof, disappear in the middle of the street, watch me sleep and jump out from behind open fridge doors" I explained "do I have to go on?"
"Hmmm, I guess you right then" "although you don't look scared right now". He moved a little closer to me. I felt my heart stop.
"That's what you think" I looked at the door "p-please leave" now; just go I screamed in my head. There was something about him that made me scared. Maybe because I had heard what he did. Pick a girl, make them fall in love with him and then he would leave them to fall apart slowly and he loved every minute of it.
"So you are scared?" he took another step closer. He was only one step away from breathing became fidget. "Your hard to figure out, you know" he looked at me, I could see my yellow golden eyes through his grey eyes. "But I think I'm almost there"
"Trust m-me, your no way near there" I gulped "you never will be" just like that I closed myself of from anyone. I knew he had seen it because he stepped back and turned his back to me. Eventually I jumped of the stool and moved to the couch, lay down and turned the t. v. on. He sat down in one of the single seats.
"Sure make yourself comfortable" i breathed.
"Thank you" he said "I will" I rolled my eyes of course he could hair me.
I found myself watching a movie called the cutting edge, fire and ice. I smiled; I had always enjoyed this movie. But I couldn't keep my eyes open and I fell asleep to the sound of the television. It was nice I had to admit, to know that there was someone there with me as well. I didn't feel so alone with him sitting there.
