I don't own twilight.
EPOV (Elisha)
I stalked the man around the corner into a dark alley. He must have felt me following him, because half way down the alley he turned to face me. I could see the fear in his eyes, yet my senses only told me that he was food. It didn't matter who he was, he would soon be dead.
"What do you want?" He tried to sound strong, but I could hear his hidden fear.
"Your blood." That sounded so much like the old Dracula movie: "I vant to suck your blood." But I didn't care.
He looked at me shocked. That's when I lunged, teeth bared.
"Arhh!"
"Your cruel device. Your blood, like ice. One look could kill. My pain, your thrill."
What?
I was no longer looking into the eyes of a fearful stranger. It was white. All white.
Then I brought my eyes down towards my feet. I was lying in my bed of my apartment. Well not just my apartment, but also my boyfriends, Rhys.
"I want to love you but I better not touch. I want to hold you but my senses tell me to stop. I want to kiss you but I want it too much. I want to taste you but your lips are venomous poison."
What the hell is that? Oh that would be mine phone. Rhys's ring tone and favourite song.
Where is my phone?
I turn my head to the side and see my phone lying on my bed side table. I reach out and grab it while at the same time half sitting up in bed.
"Yeah?"
"Hi, Elisha. Are you awake?" What kind of stupid question is that? Oh wait. That would be a Rhys question.
"Now I am. What do you want?"
"Nothing. I am your wake up call. Hehe. See after work." Urgh. That meant I had school.
I put the phone back, groaned again and rolled out of bed. I stood up straight, stretched to the white ceiling which had confused me before, then made my way to my cupboard.
I was wide awake now. That's all it took with me. Once I'm awake, I'm awake. I'm quite the morning person, yet I do well late at night to. All my friends hate me for it.
As I changed I remembered what happened just before the ceiling had confused me.
What was I doing? Was that even me? I know it was me. I saw the monster that I was in that poor man's eyes.
I shiver ran down my spine. How could that possibly be me? I don't even know what I was doing.
I shock the dream from my head. I finished getting changed, made myself some breakfast and headed out the door. Rhys had left ages ago. He was working and started earlier than I did.
I got in the car and headed to school. I picked up Dani on the way with our usual hello of; "why must you torment me every morning?" Followed by my; "what are you complaining about? I'm not the one tormenting you, that would be school."
"Urgh. How can you be so cheery? I can only talk like that after I've been up for three hours first. You're like this bright and early without even a wake up hour first." This is usually followed by a yawn.
Today was no different.
"We really need better things to talk about in the morning."
"You might, but that's all I can manage and that's only from years of practise." I couldn't help but laugh at that. It really had taken Dani a few years to answer that question clearly at nine in the morning. So, she had kept the same answer.
She had gotten use to my perkiness in the morning, as I had gotten use to not expecting her to give clear anything's until around 12 midday.
This is why the rest of the car ride was made in only me talking.
As we arrived at campus I had to hold in another laugh.
"Wakey, wakey, sleepy head."
"Mmm. Five more minutes."
"Hmm I'm not sure if Ms. Butterworth would approve of that. Sorry I'm late Ms. I just needed five more minutes while I waited for my friend to wake up and roll out of my car. I left her asleep in the car park, so I was wondering if I could go back and get her?"
Dani opened the car door and rolled out of her seat as if it was a bed.
We wondered off to the bench where Dani and I meet up with everyone every day.
My group of friends consisted of Dani (bright, alright smarts, funny, easy going and my best friend. She is small in size with pitch black hair. Her eyes are the most unusual brown I've ever seen. tThey're bnearly black.), Karen (blond, but not in actions, very hands on, good with materials. She has brown hair that matches her brown eyes. She is of normal build and average height. Very loud and loves gossip.), Josh (our joker, brown longish hair with natural highlights, brown eyes, medium height, medium build. He's good with his cars but not his sports. He is also very hands on.), Jenny (light brown hair, almost blond, grey-blue eyes, quite yet caring and always good at listening. Tall yet skinny.) and Matt (annoying in his own way. Protective of his friends. Medium build, tall. Strong. AFL fan and player. Blond, blue eyes.) And then there was me.
I wasn't overweight, I just had a lot of mussel. Seriously. I was the sporty type in our group. I threw the BMI chart out the window. The guys actually hate me since I can sometimes be stronger and more built than them. No, I'm not a body builder. I'm not that bad. I'm just a fighter who loves her sports. And a black belt can sometimes degrade the guys pride, so we stay ignorant of this fact.
I have brown hair and blue eyes. I'm of average height and quite the tom boy, though the sport kind of says that. But enough about us:
"Hay guys. What's so funny?" Karen must have noticed my laughing.
"Leash thinks it's funny to insult me." This is what Dani said, but it sort of came out as: 'Leash dink ee un to sulk meh.'
I burst out laughing at this. This is what she sounded like earlier as well. The only clear sentence she gets out is: "why must you torment me every morning?" And like I said, this was from years of practise and it still wasn't coherent.
I've known Dani since year seven. We are both now in our second year at university. So that makes it eight years of friendship. I've learnt Dani language and I'm the only one who can understand her when she has her moments and her words come out either jumbled or disorientated. Like now or earlier.
So when I burst out laughing everyone looked at me confused.
I quickly got over my laughter before Dani could try to explain again and make our group more confused.
They were all looking at me expectedly.
"She said I think it's funny to insult her. I was teasing her about her tiredness 'cause she told me to give her five more minutes of sleep in the car. Come on Dan's, it was funny." We were sitting next to each other on the bench now and the only response she gave me was putting her head on my shoulder and grumbling. We all laughed at that.
Btw, for anyone wondering, the song was Poision by Alice Cooper. It's an old song that 've thought suits twilight perfectly.
We all know I don't own the song either.
