Lucy
Damn, it is cold! Sol owes me big time!
I was by the oak tree, our ritualistic place we go to talk. If this tree could talk it would be a gossip goldmine. It was nearly midnight, the darkness became a blanket of mystery and made the forest seem more sinister and dangerous.
Thinking of danger caused a mental Image of Sol to flash through my mind. Solange Drake was my best friend; we had known each other for what felt like forever, but lately I felt us drifting apart…you see Sol isn't human, not that it matters, she hit 16 and things changed. Sol went through the blood change and became a vampire. Pretty cool right!
To be honest all her brothers did to, all seven of them. When sixteen came they changed. It doesn't change anything they are still the same and I love them to pieces (not just because I was dating Sol's older brother Nicolas)! She took it harder than the others. But she shouldn't, I know she wouldn't hurt me.
I was hoping that meeting was going to be the time we sorted it out and went back to being the terrible two, and giving her brothers mini heart attacks. The strong gust of wind knocked me from my thoughts; I pulled my jumper closer towards myself, trying in vain to get warmer. There better be hot chocolate for me at the farmhouse, I am going to need it.
I checked my phone, 12:05! Sol was late she was meant to meet me at 12. It didn't bother me too much; sometimes we meet later than planned. I leaned against the tree and text her
Where are you I am freezing my butt off!
I saw a flicker of movement from the edge of my vision. Quicker, than a human can move. Vampire.
"Sol if that is you, quit messing around I am cold my glasses are starting to fog, and I have a hot chocolate with my name on it!"
No answer!
Now I was worried if that was Sol or another member of the family or guard they would have answered me. I felt my heart quicken. That was not good. My heart was like a beaken to tell the stranger my exact location. The movement came again…..much closer this time.
"Nicky if that is you, I swear to god, I will break your nose again!" I tried to sound threatening, but my heart beat gave me away. I was slightly scared- not that I would admit that to anyone if they asked.
I sniffed the air. I couldn't smell rotten mushroom, so hell-blar was off the list. Thank god! A twig snapped right behind me. Crap! I whirled around my fist flying before I could register if it was friend or foe. I was quick….he was quicker! A flash of fangs flashed in the moonlight and brushed my neck, I froze!
A husky unfamiliar voice breathed on my neck "Lucy, so nice to finally meet"(I flinched)"don't worry I won't hurt you yet…..just wanted to borrow you is that ok?".
Before I could get a better look at him, or utter a word I felt a pain in my neck….and then my world went black!
