Chapter Two
"Hey, are you awake?"
I felt a tap on my shoulder, then a shake, then a hard slap across the face. My eyes snapped open. Large brown eyes and a wide grin stared back at me. I was confused and my eyes felt like lead.
"What the-" I started, but a soft caramel hand quickly covered my mouth.
"Shh . . ." Bianca said. "You'll wake the others."
What was she talking about? I nodded slowly and she carefully removed her hand from my mouth. I was able to sit up to look around and see where I was. A bedroom . . . A guest bedroom. I was in the king sized bed.
"You were snoring."
Bianca sighed and flopped onto the floor on a pile of blankets. She rolled over, and next to her was a sleeping Erik. She planted a soft kiss on his lips and he stirred slightly. It when then when I noticed what she was wearing.. A red, strapless, lacey bra on top and a blanket covered her and Erik from the waist down. Erik was shirtless.
I heard a groan from the other side of the room. Sammi was on the other side of the bed with her own pile of blankets and a sleeping vamp named Austin from the football team.
Samantha's eyes cracked open and she said, "That was a pretty awesome party last night. Can't wait 'til next weekend." She giggled a little.
"What the hell happened last night?" I openly asked.
"Pshh, the party was a huge success," Bianca said while rolling onto her stomach and stretching like a cat.
"Seriously! What happened? How did we get here? I don't remember." I started to sound hysterical as my voice rose several octaves.
"Cool it, you're gonna wake the boys," Bianca scolded before gabbing a pillow and placing it over her eyes. "The effects of the Rohypnol should wear off soon. You had more than we did," she paused to giggle, "someone's a really fun drunk . . . Oh, and the shrooms might be slowing down the remembering process."
"Rohypnol?" I tried to whisper while yelling.
"You know, the date-rape-drug," Sammi explained.
Suddenly, the large lump in the bed next to me that I thought was just a pile of pillows, stirred slightly. I screamed, but subconsciously not wanting to make noise, I covered my own mouth. I slipped backwards off of the bed, but a strong pair of arms caught me from behind. Bianca's bare skin was cold against mine as she tried to calm me down. Sammi also came over to help with the hysterics.
Samantha touched my arm lightly and looked into my eyes. Her pupils dilated as she said, "Calm down."
My body instantly went out of panic mode and I slumped against Bianca.
Samantha continued, "Now remember."
Her words now jolted my body into hyper mode. My back arched and my hear sped up dangerously. My nerves tingled and I could almost feel my liver working harder to get all of the leftover poisons out of my body. I collapsed onto the floor and it felt like my mind exploded. Flashes of memories flooded my mind.
FLASH
I was searching the crowd for Jason for the first time. I delayed my search at the food table to pour some punch. I also picked up a brownie, something that I didn't supply. I smelled them both before tasting them. The scent of illegal substances hit me hard.
I walked over to the DJ table and asked for a mic.
"Hey," I announced. No one responded.
"HEY!" I screamed. All eyes were now on me. I continued, "Who brought the drugs?"
No answer, a few people averted their eyes.
"Who brought the damn drugs?"
There were a few murmurs.
A small smile appeared on my lips, I'm no buzz kill. I may not do drugs often, or really approve of them, but every once in a while, I like to have a good time.
"YEAH!" I screamed in to the mic and chugged down my punch. It didn't taste very good, but I tried to ignore it.
People in the crowd cheered and the music was turned up louder.
FLASH
I had just spotted Erik alone in the corner while munching on another brownie. I hadn't seen Jason in a while, so I decided to go over and talk to him.
"Why aren't you dancing?" I asked when I reached him.
"There's only one person I'd like to dance with." He pointed into the crowd.
I saw Bianca dancing with Samantha, but she didn't look like she was having much fun.
I took a large gulp of the punch I was drinking before saying, "Stop sulking and man up. Go over there and win your woman back!"
A smile spread across his unusually dim face and his ocean eyes began to sparkle. He squared his shoulders, held his head up high, and marched over to Bianca.
She stopped dancing when she saw him. He grabbed her by the waist, pulled her close, and kissed her. She looked surprised at first, but then she wrapped her arms around his neck, and kissed him back. Samantha took the hint and disappeared into the crowd.
When they pulled away, I saw Erik whisper into Bianca's ear, "I love you."
FLASH
I was biting into yet another brownie when I finally saw the one person I had been looking for. Jason. I devoured the last of the brownie and walked as steadily as I could over to him He looked happy to see me and greeted me with a warm hug. We conversed with some small talk before heading to the dance floor.
FLASH
"Thanks everyone for coming, I hope you had a great time. Now you don't have to go home, but you have to get the hell out of here!" I slurred and my Spanish accent was extremely thick.
People groaned but obediently made their way to the door and up the stairs out of the basement.
FLASH
I stumbled as I tried to walk up the stairs from the basement.
Suddenly, a supportive hand was on the small of my back, and another held my right hand to support me. Jason's eyes met mine.
"Thanks," I slurred.
"No problem," was his reply.
We made it up the stairs and I offered to walk him to the door. On the way there, in the living room, Bianca was sitting across Erik's lap on the loveseat while Sammi was on the couch with Austin. Both couples were waiting for everyone else to leave.
"You all staying over?" I asked.
There were some murmured answers and a few heads nodding. I sighed and continued to walk with Jason. When I opened the door and he stood on the porch, the bright glow of the full moon illuminated his brown hair. He looked gorgeous.
"That was a great party," he complimented.
"Thank you. I'm glad you had fun," I tried to say without my words becoming a jumbled mess.
There was a short, awkward moment when neither of us knew what to do or say. That was when my drunken mind decided to take over. I grabbed the front of his shirt, pulled him close, and kissed him hard. He was surprised at my suddenness, but he quickly recovered and took over the kiss.
We broke away and I pulled him back into the house.
"Yeah! Now the real party can start," Sammi said as Bianca hopped off of Erik's lap to turn on the mega stereo and let music once again blast through my house.
FLASH
It was less than an hour later and the sun would begin to rise soon. Our drunken stupor ad led us to one of the upstairs guest bedrooms. I stumbled over to the large closet and pulled out a massive amount of blankets and pillows. I then climbed into the bed with Jason and he kissed me again.
I heard a sudden cry of pain and I looked up to see Bianca pinned against the wall and Erik biting into her neck. She looked pained but the pain quickly melted out of her face as she relaxed.
The intoxication of a vampire bite; it's a wonderful sensation. After the pain quickly subsides, a warm, tingling feeling spreads throughout the body. Enough to make a person tremble with pleasure.
At least, that's what Bianca has told me. She's the only vampire to ever bite me, but that was years ago when she turned me.
I've also heard that love bites between vampire, is just that, something you do with someone you love. I admired and envied the love that Bianca and Erik shared.
"OWW!" Samantha screamed.
We all turned quickly to look at her. She stood with her hand against her neck. Austin was in front of her, looking more than a little glassy-eyed and frazzled.
She pulled a clean hand away and said through clenched teeth, "You're lucky that yo didn't break the skin. Apologize."
"I'm sorry," Austin said quickly.
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to Jason. He kissed me softly and his warm hands roamed my body.
BLACK
My eyelids fluttered open. A dim light from the late afternoon sun shone through the curtains on the windows. I looked away'; it couldn't hurt me now, but it did irritate my young vampire eyes.
I was flat on my back, and still tangled in the blankets (and half naked) from falling off of the bed. Samantha sat cross legged on the floor and Bianca was laying on her stomach. They were both looking at me expectantly. I sat up slowly.
I looked at Bianca lying next to Erik. She looked a little pale while he looked unusually rosey. I then noticed the scars she had from his bite. There was a set on her neck, and a set on her chest above her bra. She noticed me looking and blushed.
"Some party," I said.
"Awesome party," Bianca countered.
Erik, who I though was still asleep because his eyes were closed, wrapped his arm around Bianca's waist and pulled her close to him. "Amazing party," he murmured.
I giggled and climbed back into bed. I untangled the covers from myself and the sleeping form. Even while sleeping, Jason subconsciously wrapped his arm around me and pulled me close to him.
At that moment, I was truly happy and grateful for everyone I loved.
I truly hope you enjoyed this story!
