Another after-midnight story by your's truly!
I run my fingers through my hair tiredly.
"Damon?" I turn toward the voice.
"Jenna." I say with a little smile. She beams and walks in, lounging next to me on the couch.
"You feelin' okay?" She asks gently. I roll my eyes, knowing she's just doting over me like she always seems to. No matter that she's younger than me, only having been thirteen when she was abducted from her home in the Jamestown colony... and turned. She's become like a baby sister to me over the last three years.
"I'm fine Jenna." I say with a smile.
She purses her lips. "You sure?" I sigh.
Stop worrying. I'm fine. I think, knowing that she gets the message very easily.
You were nearly dead when we found you. I can't get that image out of my head... A tear trickles from her brilliant green eyes. I've always liked the fact that her eyes are green, though I can never fathom why. My guess is that I knew someone with green eyes in my other life. The one I remember nothing of. I sigh and tuck a lock of her dark-blonde hair behind her ear.
"I'm completely fine, Jenna. I promise." She takes a deep breath and nods, placing her fingertips over my heart.
This isn't an endearing gesture.
She's checking to see if I flinch, as she always does when she doubts that I'm really okay. Because when they found me, there was a ragged hole through my chest. I'd been hurt, very badly. They saved me... but my chest still bothers me sometimes. I roll my eyes again and shake my head. "Let's go see if the others are up, shall we?" She nods and we leave my room.
As soon as we walk out into the living room, we're confronted with the others.
Sarafina, the supposed leader. Eight hundred years old and from India. (She was turned when she was nineteen) We don't know if Sarafina's her real name.
Lucas, the three hundred year old who appears fifteen. From Greece.
And Francine. The youngest, from 1950's New York. Turned when she was eighteen.
And everyone except me and Sarafina turned by someone else in the group.
"Today's the day." Sarafina says with a grin. "Today we take over Fell's Church!"
