Dark Love
Ch. 1
Intruder
"See you tomorrow Alexis," Brittney yelled waving good bye before leaving the library to go home and rest. Alexis waved by to her friend and then finished stacking the books on the shelves. Alexis was 16 yrs old and was in the 12th grade. Graduation was within a week and Alexis couldn't wait to get out of school. She wanted to be an artists or a writer when she grew up, but of course that was too much schooling. But hey, school is school and she didn't give a dang at the moment of time.
After finishing with the stacking Alexis gathered her belongings and headed for the door to lock up for the night. Almost forgetting her keys in the desk drawer Alexis went back for it and headed back towards the door. Locking up she made her way to the parking lot and got into her car (Red Nissan Altima) to head on home. She had no family left on this earth that she knew about. Her mother and father both died in a car accident when she was only 5 yrs old and had been living with her grandmother up until last year when she died of cancer. She could remember the funeral like it was just yesterday.
Alexis had been at her funeral like a lifeless zombie with no emotions. She couldn't cry and she couldn't mourn. It felt like all the energy had been zapped out of her or tapped out dry. Everyone had said their sorry's and good-byes to her and her grandmother for the last time but she couldn't feel anymore. It seemed like every time she got close or was close to someone or was friendly something bad always ended up happening to them. Either they ended up dead or they moved away and she never heard from them again. So Alexis made up her mind that year at her grandmothers funeral that she would keep people at arms length and never let anyone get too close to her that she would be hurt.
Alexis got home at around 9:35 and headed up the stairs to unlock the door. She got inside of her apartment and locked the door behind her and went straight to her bedroom and collapsed on the bed in exhaustion and frustration. She was dead tired and just wanted to sleep but knew better than that. She forced herself to get up after 5 minutes had went by and headed towards the shower where she took off her clothes and stepped into the shower where the hot water beat sown onto her tensed body and muscles.
After 20 minutes relaxing in the shower and washing her hair Alexis got out of the shower and grabbed the towel. Wiping the mirror off of the steam that was on it Alexis stared at her reflection and stretched. Then suddenly to her surprise she saw a figure with dark red eyes. Panicking she turned around abruptly but saw nothing behind her. Wrapping her arms around herself Alexis came out of the bathroom and walked quickly to her room. Closing the door behind her Alexis scanned the room to make sure that no one was inside. She let out a breath of air that she hadn't realized that she had been holding in until this moment. Sighing with relief Alexis walked into the closet to take out shorts and a midriff to wear to sleep.
"I love it," a voice said into her ear that made her jump 5 inches away from it. Heart pounding Alexis shivered at the cold gust of air that blew inside her room and wrapped itself around. Alexis shivered again and looked around her in fear. She didn't know what was happening but all she knew was that she had to get out of there and now. Naked or clothed I'm getting out of here, she thought to herself as she grabbed the black shorts and midriff tank top and headed for the door but only to find it locked. Staring at it for a quick second Alexis grabbed the knob again and struggled to get it opened.
Then she felt arms wrapping around her waist and bringing her back up against a hard chest. "Naked sounds good to me," he whispered into her ear as he brought hips lips down to her neck and nuzzled it. Alexis screamed loud and elbowed the intruder in the stomach.
"Stay away from me you freak," Alexis yelled as she backed away from him. Her breath coming out fast now Alexis watched as he turned around to face her with a cynical smile on his lips. "Who in the hell are you?" she asked as she tried to calm herself down and to think clearly. He looked at her and then looked her from head to toe giving her a slow observation that made Alexis clutch the towel more tightly to her and kept that smile of his on his lips.
"I'm a creature that walks the night. Who roams at night for his prey and is one with the darkness." He said as he takes a step towards her. Alexis saw this and took a step back also and kept on walking. He then continued to walk towards her until her back was pressed up against the wall and he was just an inch away form her body. He took the last step that had given them space and had separated them. His face was now in her eye sight and she couldn't take her gaze away from his hypnotizing ice blue eyes. "What am I?" he asked as he lowered his head towards her and captured her mouth with his and kissed her.
