Preface
My eyes widened in horror as I watched him fall helplessly to the ground. My heart full of ice, shattered. He forced himself to stand. His face full of pain looked at me, and I reached my arm out to touch him. I could not reach. Tears leaked from my eyes. I forced them back.
A scream escaped my mouth when he was thrown back ruthlessly, glass shattering, shards landing everywhere. My pitiful cries now turned to earth-shaking sobs. I begged him to stop. It wasn't worth it. I wasn't worth it!
It laughed at me, cackling almost. It made me shiver. It turned to me, black eyes wandered my face.
You're intelligent.
It told me. Tears stroked my face. I was shaking as it took another step forward. Its aura was bitterly cold and evil.
Just then, everything went black. My name was being called. I did my best to answer, but no sound came from my mouth.
They say when you're about to die, you see your life flash before your eyes.
I wonder if that's true.
I ran my hands along the silk blue ribbon. A smile emerged on my lips as I began undoing the bow on the top of the box. I did it slowly, wanting to cherish the moment. I then bit-by-bit, began to unwrap the paper, carefully so not to rip it. I inhaled smelling the crisp, musty smell of the post office, coming from the paper.
I didn't want to wait any longer- I suddenly tore off the paper ruthlessly and excitedly. My whole face brightened and tickled with happiness. I gasped.
"Mum, thank you so much! How did you afford this?" I burst out excitedly. I stroked the tip of my gift with my forefinger. All the girls at school had one, I wanted one so badly but I lived alone with my mum and we struggled for money anyway. I felt a tinge of guilt. I couldn't have been cheap. It was a really nice model.
"We'll manage." Mum replied, her eyes sparkling with just as much excitement as me. "You better hurry of you'll be late for school."
With a flick of my blue midnight hair, I turned and hurried out the door. I couldn't wait to show this to Misty, May and Leaf, my closest best friends. I kicked on my black leather shoes, trying not to trip while walking.
My name is Dawn, I'm now 15 years old, and today's my birthday. I got a phone, a new pencil case and a couple of girly things from my friends. Nothing could go wrong today! Or so I thought.
"Hi Dawn, Happy Birthday!" May shouted, her brown bangs bouncing when she came and hugged me suddenly. I was soon over-whelmed when Misty and Leaf hugged me too. May had brunette hair and sapphire eyes which sparkled with excitement. Today she wore a black skirt and a red t-shirt, her favorite color. She wore brown boots with cute tassels which bounced when she walked.
Misty had fiery orange hair and she tied it into a side ponytail. She had bright cerulean eyes, which were a mixture of green and blue- a lot like the sea. She wore a light blue top and a pair of denim shorts, to go with that she had her red bag swung over her shoulder.
Leaf had light brown hair with dark brown eyes and a huge white grin on her face. She was dressed in a blue shirt and a maroon colored top.
"Thanks guys" I replied sheepishly. My friends smiled at me and vice versa.
On my way to class, I noticed Zoey, a new girl. She was by herself again. Feeling bad because my day had gone so well, I waved over at her and told her to join us.
"So Zoey, we were wondering…" Misty began, tapping the table with her delicate fingers.
"…If you liked Kenny!" Leaf burst out. Zoey blinked and then laughed. She blushed a little anyway.
"Guys! Zoey's new; I don't think we ought to be asking her these kinds of things." I suggested, but nonetheless was fascinated by Zoey's answer.
"Not really, maybe a little, but nothing extreme." She replied confidently. May's eyes widened in amazement. She felt no embarrassment.
"I suppose he's kind of cute. He looks really young though." May said suddenly but then covered her mouth hoping it hadn't sounded offensive.
"Don't mind her Zoey; she's got the hots for a certain green head." Misty teased and May went different shades of red.
"Misty! Pay no attention to her I don't!" May insisted. We laughed.
"Paul Shinji?" His name was called out in the register. I scanned my eyes aroudnd the classroom. Was he sick again? This was the fourth time this week he called in sick and it was Thursday. How dare he miss my birthday?!
"Not here again." Gary answered for him. Gary sat comfortably at the back of the classroom, his feet up on the desk and his hands behind his head. He had light brown hair, and light blue eyes. It was so obvious he had a crush on my friend leaf and it was obvious leaf liked him too. Of course both were oblivious to each other's feelings.
"Drew, I take it you'll take his homework for him?" The teacher asked and Drew shook his head.
"No, I took it two days this week and Gary did it yesterday." the green haired boy replied, smirking at May. That aggravated her. Drew was dressed in a green top with a darker purple jacket over the top. He was sat in a lounge-like position, similar to Gary.
"Ash then?" He suggested.
"I did it the day before Gary." The raven haired boy answered, staring out of the window bored. The teacher held the bridge of his nose to calm himself.
"Ok who will-" He was interrupted- by me.
"I will sir!" I announced putting my hand up, my cheeks flushed a little. The class gasped at how I had dared to defy his fan group. I received many glares. I put my hand up before them- yes!
"Dawn? Are you sure?" I nodded and put the sheets carefully in my bag. Gary, Ash and Drew stared at me interestedly; they were obviously wondering why I had offered to go to Paul's house.
Well... I hadn't ever been there before. So yes- in other words, I was curious.
I stood out in front of this huge, gigantic old house- well more like a mansion. I stared up at it in awe. It was really old and the walls had worn away a little. Did Paul really live here? It was a little creepy for me. Trees outside didn't even have leaves on. They were dead- it was summer you know?
I gathered up my courage and walked to the front door. It had a sculpture of a man on the front. It was bronze and shiny. He had long fangs and the eyes seemed to bulge out of his head. Ok really, really creepy. The door bell seemed to be at the back of his throat. That's welcoming.
Gulping, I put my hand in the sculptures mouth and pressed the door bell.
An ear-piercing scream was heard everywhere as I snatched my hand back. the sculpture had tried to bite me. ok, Ok Calm down. A bronze vampire just tried to bite me! How can I calm down?
"What are you doing?" A deep voice asked, I span around to find myself face to face with a pair of dark purple eyes.
"P-Paul?!" I screeched. He put his finger in his ear and gave me an irritated look.
"Sorry." I began. "I brought you your homework." That didn't change the emotionless look on his face. I frowned; I was desperate to make conversation.
"So you live here?"
"Yes." He replied coldly.
"Cool, Uh... What's up with your door bell, I mean it bites people." I said horrified, eyeing the strange biting machine hanging on the door.
"That's not a door bell."
"Eh?" He pointed to the normal door bell right next to the vampire man. I mouthed 'o'. I then felt horribly embarrassed. But how could I of known?! Most people don't have biting things on their doors anyway.
"Go away." He turned around taking his paper with him. Well... I come all the way out here to this creepy place and this is how I get thanked.
"Well whatever, ungrateful." I named him angrily, marching toward the tall black gates I arrived through. I jumped out of the way as a long black, slender car drove through the gates. The darkened window slid down, revealing a pair of red eyes. I jumped. The car came to a stop and the red eyed boy got out of the car.
"Paul, you didn't tell me we had guests." the boy had long purple hair tied into a purple ponytail. He looked much like Paul except for the red eyes and Paul had hair that came to the bottom of his neck. Even though he had scary colored eyes he seemed friendlier than Paul.
"My name is Renji, do you want to come in?" he took my hand and kissed it. A little too friendly.
My eyes widened and I snatched my hand back, horribly humiliated. Paul looked horrified. Some emotion for once.
"Um... My name is Dawn." I stuttered out. "I really ought to be getting home."I insisted. Yes it was getting dark. I looked over at the sun, which happened to be going down. The sun didn't reach me. The sun didn't seem to reach this area at all. We were faced away.
I began walking out of the gates when he caught my wrist.
"Please." He pleaded, looking at me softly.
"Don't Renji. She wants to go home." Paul threatened coldly, his jaw was tight.
"But Paul-" Renji took one glance at Paul and let go of my wrist. he nodded, a little disappointed. "Walk her home at least."
My cheeks went a little pink but I nodded agreeing, even if it was Paul, I certainly didn't want to be walking around in the dark.
We began walking home in complete silence, I didn't look at him. And he didn't look at me.
It was a while before he spoke and when he did, it was unexpected and shocking.
"Girl."
"Dawn." I corrected.
"Whatever." He replied. "Don't come to my house again. Send Gary or Drew or even Ash."
"Why?" I asked.
"Because you're not damn welcome that's why." he snapped back rudely.
"Well, your fan-club was going to come so I think you should be grateful."
"Hn." He replied coldly. We came in view of my house- or more my one bedroom, Japanese style bungalow.
"Thanks for walking me home, come to school soon!" I waved goodbye cheerfully- even though he had been quite rude to me. Paul nodded and turned around walking away.
I didn't know why, but I felt curious. A little too curious. I wondered who Paul was. Why did he live in a place like that? What did that Renji want? And why was Paul so angry when he tried to invite me in?
The next day, Paul came to school.
Ok, so what do you think? I wanted to post this for ages. Please rate and review! I love it when I get reviews!
