Disclimer: I own shit-all. :(
Here's the next chapter. Thank you to wonderful reviews, they made me all warm and fuzzy on the inside.
Can anybody guess what the Ancient Rule is? If you guess it right, ill post a whole new chapter and dedicate it souly to you. :)
Alex's POV
I picked up Veronica, and drove her too school, she was the only person who I knew who I could really be myself around. We had so many embarrasing moments between us that we were just completely normal about ourselves. She knew I was a lesbian, and I knew she was bisexual. She knew about the rape and the change and I knew how she traded all her fortune and wealth in the 18th Century to become a vampire. Apparantly, she has never regretted it once in her 200 years, lucky her. We pulled up into the school parking lot and I took my second look at it since yesterday, it was a dirty white building with blue around it and old concrete. The woods weren't far up the hill and I could see the fog closing in on us like a beast from atop the hills. I could see our other friends Ian, Peter and Veronica's girlfriend Bree exit there car, it was just a black colored Ford Edge. We walked over the lot and reached them, we all hugged again even thou we had seen each other about nine hours ago. Everybody was watching in sure amazement and interest, we ignored them and they escorted me to the office to sign in and get my courses. Suddenly, Bree pulled me over saying she needed to talk to me. She warned me about the other vampires here, saying they thought they were superior because they drunk human blood. She said that they will offer me a place in their friendship group, and that because they are stronger that they can rule over us. She also said they believe vampires stick together and that when they need our help and we give it to them, and vice versa. The last thing she said broke my heart, she told me that were completely against human and vampire intimacy, saying they if they ever knew about it they would murder the offenders.
I walked away from her with a broken face and brooding forehead, just wanting to get away. I walked to my first class, sat down in the back and put my head down. Veronica came and sat next to and smoothed circles on my back, it helped for a while. That was until one of the opposing vampires walked in, he sat by the desks next to us and smiled.
"My names Matt, its nice to meet you...."
"Alex."
"You have a pretty name Alex."
"I'm gay, don't even try it." Veronica burst out laughing and he threw a glare that could of cut her into pieces, she ignored him a continued to snicker once and a while. He smiled at me again and left us in peace for a while. Just then, the mystery girl walked in, I had seemingly started to fall in love with. She sat down a couple seats in front of us and her friends swarmed around her. Matt must of noticed me looking at her, because he spoke up again.
"Alex, you know our rules."
"Yes, Matt, I know your rules, but my set of rules are completely different, and if I take interest in a human, its not your business."
"If you dare even touch her, kiss her, or take it even further and break the Ancient Rule, I will kill you, and her painfully and slowly." I growled at him.
"I can be with whoever I want, and you will not stop me or hurt her."
Everyone was staring at us now, even the teacher was looking a little dumbstruck. Me and Matt were standing like brick walls, facing each other, our faces only inches from each other. I knew my eyes were clouding black from anger, and it wouldn't be too long before my eye veins turn red from getting ready to attack. The veins turn red when my body is creating venom for an attack, I had to calm down know or I would have to excuse myself from class on my first day. I knew he was stronger, so I stepped down and took my seat once again, covering my eyes with my hand like a human would block the sun from their eyes. He sat down and the teacher started the class, I didn't listen to him, instead I tuned into the mystery girls conversation with her friend.
"Mitchie, no way, I swear if you start liking her i'll kill you personally. Remember the last person who dated one of the freaks." I visibly cringed at the word.
"I don't care Caitlyn, I like her, you can't stop me. If I wanna date her, its not your desicion."
"I'm sorry, but Mitch, i'm only looking out for you, I dont want you to get hurt like that other girl who died."
"I know what happened to the last girl, but I can't stay away from her. I just wanna talk to her and be with her and kiss her. She's so intoxicating and I haven't even spoke to her."
"I understand. But I don't think you will be talking to her today, she looks like she's in pain."
With that sentence they both turned around and looked at me. I moved my hand and looked at Mitchie and smiled. She gasped and turned around, I was guessing she saw my eyes. I knew they were still black from anger and that my eyes veins were red, it would be this way for a while.
School was over and I jumped into my car without Veronica, she said she had business to deal with, what ever that meant I didn't care. I started to drive out of the parking lot and saw Mitchie walking home, this was my chance to finally speak to her.
"Hey, do you need a ride home? I'm Alex, i'm in well 4 of your classes that I know of"
"Umm, i'm Mitchie, and I would but I shouldnt'. I'm sorry, but no thank you."
"Well, why not? I don't bite that hard." I winked at her.
"Well, I would but my friends said I shouldn't really talk to you."
"Do you always listen to what you friends say?" I smiled at her seuductively.
"Yknow what? Sure, I don't wanna listen to them." I was on her side of the car so I opened the door for her and she hopped in.
"So, when did you move here?"
"Ummm, just yesterday, we bought that house in the mountains. Is there anything fun to do around here?"
"Ummm, well kinda, but the real fun is in the mountains. We have drug parties up there, well actually I wouldn't know cause ive never done any. I've been invited up and I did go up there but I didn't do any drugs."
"Oh, I see. Don't worry, you don't have to tell me you haven't done any drugs. Your way to pretty to do that shit."
"Haha, well i'm not really that pretty, but thanks Alex."
"It's true, your the prettiest girl i've seen in all my years." She was blushing, all the blood rushing to her cheeks was making me thirsty.
"You sound like you've been in this world for 100 years." She raised an eyebrow.
"More than you would think, okay, so where do you live?"
"Haha, i'm sure. Umm just take a right here and then a left and 2 rights and then a left." We drove the rest in silence, and I pulled up at her house and got out of the car and opened her door for her.
"So do you have a car? It doesn't look very safe around here to be walking around as late as it is."
"No, no car, just legs"
"Well, I could give you a ride to school and back."
"Umm, no thats okay, thats too much, you barely know me."
"Please, it wouldn't be a bother. I'd really like to know more of you Mitchie."
"Umm, yeah, sure I guess, umm I mean yes, positively yes." She smiled brightly, as did I.
"Okay, well i'll pick you up at 8:25."
"Okay, thank you." I pulled out of my hand for her to shake it but instead she pulled her arms around me and hugged me. Her smell was too much, my eyes clouded black with lust and hunger, but mostly lust. I could smell her hair and skin, it was driving me crazy, but I had to bare with it to become closer to her and not to act suspicious. She pulled back after a good few minutes and thanked me once again. She stared right into my eyes, searching for the reason for there color and look. I looked up at the roof and saw Matt shaking his head, I glared at him, and he stepped back.
"I have to go. I'm sorry." I said.
"Yeh, okay, I understand. Thank you again. See you tomorrow Alex."
"Okay, seeya tomorrow." I watched her walk inside and then I looked up again and there was Matt, Kevin and Emma. I vampire sped into my car, and drove away as fast as the car could go back to my house. I hadn't even reached my house and I could see there outline shape coming up in the road. It wasn't my intention to run from them, it was to get them away from Mitchie at all costs.
"What do you want?" I asked them bitterly with venom spitting throu my razor sharp teeth.
"No, the question is what the fuck were you doing? You know the rules, every vampire abides by them, no humans by ny circumstances."
"Go fuck yourself Matt, it was a hug. Theres nothing behind it."
"I could smell each of your arousels from the roof."
"So what!? If I was turned on by a hug its none of your business!"
"Don't go near her again or I swear i'll kill you."
"There's more of us then you, I could easily kill you."
"Yes, well there are none around her right now. There will be no one to save you." He stepped forward, his golden eyes darkening in anger. I stepped forward and hissed and readied myself in a battle stance. He jumped in vampire speed and took me down, I violently thrashed my fangs into his shoulder, my venom sinking into him, it would make him weak and sick for a while. Even enough for me too kill him. He got off of me and walked to his comrades, grabbing his shoulder in pain, Kevin picked him and ran away. Emma turned back and looked at me, she was shooting daggers.
"You will immensely regret that."
And for once, I actually didn't care. I was in love with a girl i've met twice and then it hit me. They might hurt her to get revenge on me. I vampire sped off into the forest and arrived at her house seconds later, no one was there but that didn't stop me from staying over and watching. No one came and at 8:10 I left to get ready for school, I got dressed in blue skinnies, a gold colored shirt, with a black hoodie and black shoes. I drove to her house and waited outside, when it was 8:33 I went and knocked on the door. An older lady answered the door.
"Hello, are you one of Mitches school friends?"
"Umm yes i'm Alex, I gave her a ride home last night and I offered to give her a ride to school today. Is she here?"
"Oh your the lovely young lady she hasn;t stopped talking about. I'm Connie, Mitchies mother, nice to meet you. She's running late today." She must of noticed me looking at her awkwardly when I hadn't came in yet when she opened the door wide. I had to be invited in. "Oh i'm sorry, come on in she's just up the stairs and too the left and she will be in there, go say hi."
"Thank you Connie, it was nice to meet you too." I smiled at her and she smiled back.
I started to walk to the stairs, when I noticed the whole house smelt like her, everywhere. I couldn't think it smelt so much of Mitchie, I stopped breathing and quickly walked up the stairs. I knocked on the door and when I heard no noises I walked in, she had her ipod in fixing her hair in the mirror. She had white skinnes on and no shirt, her breast were covered by a lace black bra from what I could see. I waved at her in the mirror, and when she saw me her eyes widened and she ripped her earphones from her ears.
"Umm hi Mitchie"
"Yeh, hi, umm why are you in my room?"
"Well, I came to pick you up today and then when you weren't their I came to see what was up and then your mom let me and told me to say hi but umm yeh." I turned around so she could get changed and she got the hint and put her shirt on. She grabbed her hoodie and walked out her room, I followed closely behind. She passed her mom and they said there goodbyes and 'be safes' kinda conversation. I wish I had that type of relationship with my parents, since Chicago 1985 we had been more of aqqauntences that a family. We never told each other where we were or where we were going, we just came home and then left to feed. We didn't even really sleep there cause we didn't need sleep. The most times we ever really see each other is when we watch a movie or the news together and that rarely ever happened in our lifestyle. I normally go running or just find new places to sit and listen to music. Teresa shops and goes to spas and Jerry works on cars and other man things I don't care about. It heart breaks me to know I could never talk to them the way Mitchie talks to her parents, I could nor would ever take that away from her. I could never change her into a vampire, to kill her, to stop her beating heart. I would rather die than curse her to my unnatural world. We talked about music, and things we do in our spare time on the way to school. She likes to walk throu the forest and just find pretty places and listen to music, just like me. She said that we should take a walk on a sunny day when one comes around sometime, I politely accepted her offer knowing that I would just have to make an excuse not go to when the time comes. We arrived at school a few minutes early and we began walking to class that was until Peter bumped my shoulder harshly.
"Watch it you traitor, keep this up and we will have to take actions into our own hands" He walked away and caught up with Emma.
"What was that about?"
"Oh, its just I like this person who i'm not supposed to like and he hates it."
"Oh, I see," She looked visibly disappointed, "I know the feeling."
"Yeh, don't we all."
"So, you gunna tell me who it is?"
"Mmmm, maybe, maybe not." She raised an eyebrow at me.
"I will find out, i'm magical like that." I smiled at her childlike personality. I was like a seventy year old under the pretty outside and she was like she was ten year old. I loved having someone around me who wasn't dead, who also hadn't really seen any tradegies either. She was young, she had no idea what I had seen in my lifetime. I had seen great, amazing things, and yet witnessed the worst of everything too. I witness murder, arson, genecide, suicide, too many to even count. I had comitted a few of them myself, but that wasn't a choice, I had to do them for my own safety and for the prevention of the exposure of our race.
"Hey umm do you wanna hang today after school? We could go to Port Angeles or see a movie or just something to pass the time? Or you could come over maybe?"
"I need to go to Port Angeles for something, so let's go there. We can have a mini road trip. We can get snacks and listen to music and just talk. I think it would be nice if we could just talk." I started to stare into her eyes, they were like thick puddles of chcolate, they pulled me in without waning and I saw she was looking into my eyes too. I leaned into her, no one was around cause we were in the abandoned hallway, and pressed our lips together. A shock sparked between us and I think my heart beated. She started kissing me back, her smell hit me like a sledge hammer, her skin so close to mine, her taste on my lips was so sweet, I was so close to her flesh and her body. My hands rested on her waist and her hands throu my hair making it harder to resist her body and blood. It was pumping throu her fastly, her heart rate was unimaginably fast, pumping her blood throu more and more, faster and faster. She took my bottom lip between hers and sucked lightly, her tongue licked my bottom lip asking for persmission and I let her enter. We were kissing for a while longer but when I had smelt her arousal, I had to stop. I softly pulled back with my eyes clenched tightly.
"I umm yeh we can talk, well we have to now." I smiled at her lightly, my eyes still shut. Her fingers drifted over my eyelids, wanting me to open them. I couldn't, they were dark with lust and it would extremely suspicous. I put my head down so she couldn't see my eyes and opened them, she leaned down and kissed me. Her lips guided me back up and she stopped the kiss, looking deep into my eyes.
"Why are your eyes.." I cut her off.
"I will tell you tonight, over dinner, in Port Angeles."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Okay, well then. I'll see you at lunch. Meet me at my locker."
"Okay" I smiled and pecked her lips. She walked off and I turned around to see Kevin turn the corner.
"Hello Alex. I trust you aren't touching humans lately, specifically Mitchie."
"Whatever I would be doing with Mitchie is none off your business."
"Well, if you say so. We'll be watching Alex."
He vampire sped away and I questioned his words. "We'll be watching", what the fuck does that mean? I guess it just meant he will be keeping a close watch on me and her to see if we are romantically involved. It didnt matter, I was way to excited for tonight. It was lunch time and we walked into the cafeteria hand in hand, everyone was gaping at us with their jaws on the tables. I introduced her to Veronica, Bree, Ian, and Peter and the girls all accepted her nicely and the guys winked at me and nudged my arms. They knew I had never had sex since I was raped, and they knew the subject was still a sensitive one but they loved to tease me about "getting none". Lunch was almost over when Peter asked two embarassing question which shocked us all.
"So Mitchie, are you a virgin?"
"Dude, shut the fuck up!" Bree screamed. Mitchie blushed and my eyes darkened.
"Its just a question. So are you?"
"Umm yeah, i've never had sex. I want it to be with someone special"
"Oh okay, thats cool. So are you planning on doing it with Alex? I mean she hasn't got any since WHACK!!!"
I had punched him so hard he fell off his chair, but he deserved it. He had a almost told her about the rape and he had told her I had "got some". He was gunna get hit again later on in the day.
I was practically jumping by the time school was almost over, I walked to her locker to walk her to my car but all of her friends were there and they looked like a mix between pissed and disappointed. Mitchie looked up at me and they all turned around and glared angrily, they said their goodbyes and walked past me muttering something about her getting herself heartbroken.
I ignored them and grabbed her hand and pulled her outside, put her in the car and drove to a convience store. I gave her $50 and told her to get lots of candy and some pop while I got gas. When she was finished, she came outta the store with a bag full of candy and some change in her hand. She handed it to me and I told her to keep it, she reluctantly put it in her pocked. We drove for hours talking and the whole time she picked up some medication for her mother Connie. We were walking to my car along the streets while it was raining when I smelt vampire. I could smell at least nineteeen, I grabbed her hand and pulled her into an alley as quick as I could without vampire speed.
"What are you mfghhh" I kissed her to shut her up. I pushed her against the wall and broke the kiss. I put my finger across her lips to tell to stay quiet. I looked out the alleyway and sure enough there was more than nineteen vampires, some were crawling on the walls, some free running on the roofs and some just plainly walking on the streets. I counted twenty-two vampires, thats more than i've ever met in my life. And why were they here? I pushed her against the wall behind a large portruding pipe and told her to stay put and be quiet. I kissed her sofltly and walked confidently out from the alleyway.
"Well hello, brothers, sisters, what is it that brings you here to such a small town?" I asked while I bowed my head in respect. They all jumped from the roofs and walls to the street and bowed back. It was a sign of respect and peace in our life, it also meant there was no means to attack.
"My names Gabriel, 1678. What calls us here is the ending of our race, and the creation of a hybrid life. The signs are calling us to a place not to far from here. It will call to you too sister."
"Hello Gabriel, its a pleasure. My names Alex, 1933," It was accostemed in our race to tell the date of our change. It was reason for things like respect your elders and for things like how older people have more power and control, "But what do you mean by the ending of our race and the creation of a hybrid? Not to doubt you sir, but here we are, all living, well technically speaking." I heard a few giggles and agreements from the crowd.
"Every few years, we are brought to one specific place where we hear of the Ancient Rule being broken. It is the one rule that can never be broken by any vampire. We are the vampires sent to do the duty of killing traitors, we come in great numbers to make sure the job gets done. Don't be intimidated by us Alex, we shall not harm you."
"I'm not intimidated, just thinking. Where are the signs showing you too?"
"Bogachiel, its a couple miles from here. Do you know it?"
"Yes, I temporarly live there. Will you be hunting humans?"
"Oh, no. Not since there are many other vampires in the area, it may cause , you live, hmm I see. Umm well Alex, we shall be on our way."
"Thank you Gabriel. Best of luck and safety." I bowed and they all bowed back and jumped their way back uptop the buildings and on the walls. I walked back Mitchie, she looked shocked and extrememly confused. I pulled her to me, hugging her and lifted her chin to meet my eyes. I kissed her slowly and passionately, making sure to be careful and meaningful. I broke the kiss when I heard vampire speed feet running on the street, I listened carefully, there was three. I peered out of the alley from behind the protruding pole, they stopped and now they were laughing and joking around, it seemed harmless before one spoke.
"Oi! Smell that, its 'uman. Smells tasty and worked up. Let's find 'er"
I quickly took of my hoodie and made her put it on, before grabbing her bridal style and running vampire speed. I could hear them getting farther and farther away. I noticed the look on her face, she had her eyes tightly closed and her head burrowed into my chest, her knuckles turning white from how hard she was grasping my shirt. We reached the back of the diner and I started to human walk into the diner.
"I'll explain everything, I promise. Just hear me out, okay?"
She nodded slowly, her eyes still the sizes of golf balls. I pushed the door open with my foot, walking in and setting her down in a booth, when I went to let her go she grasped me tightly again. I understood and picked her up again, I shuffled in first and she after and she leaned against me with my arms around her. I called the waiter over and I ordered a cup of tea and a burger and fries for her.
"What's going on Alex?"
"Be specific, theres alot going on."
"What and who were those people?"
"... Mitchie, when I tell you this, please don't freak and leave me."
"I'm freaked and i'm here aren't I?"
"Umm yes, but you don't know the whole story."
"Well you can start of telling who those people were." She looked serious.
"Their vampires."
Her jaw practically hit the table and I slowly closed it with my finger, being cautious for her not to spaz. She looked like she was comtemplating the idea.
"What do they do?"
"They hunt down and kill vampires who are romantically involved with humans and could break the Ancient Rule."
"How did we get here?"
"I ran."
"But how?"
"Umm thats kinda what i've been meaning to." She cut me off.
"What is it?" She seemed angry now.
".... I'm a vampire." I whispered. She looked nauseaous, angry, frustrated, and confused.
"Why did you bring me into your world?"
"What do you mean?"
"Why me? Why did you chose to date me? You just made life so much more confusing."
"Confusing?"
"I don't wanna leave you, but what about my safety? My mother? School? My friends? Me?"
"You can't tell anyone, they'll kill me."
"Well, obviously I can't nor won't tell anyone. But what do I do? I mean my girlfriend is a vampire and I..."
"Girlfriend?"
"Oh, i'm sorry I didn't know, I just assumed."
"No, it's okay, i'll make it official. Will you be my girlfriend Mitchie?"
"Yes I will Alex.... but what about my mom?"
"What about her?"
"Will she be safe. Will I be safe?"
"Yes, no one will harm her or you for that matter."
We were interupted by the server bringing over her food, she placed the burger and fries down and then the cup of tea. She looked at our position and looked disgusted. This was a small town, anything different must of been a sin, especially this.
"C'mon, eat and drink, it'll do you good."
"What about that vampire who's being hunted by the other vampires?'
"Thats me." She looked horrorfied.
"What?! No! Please don't die."
"I'm not going to die, only if I break the Ancient Rule."
"What's the rule?"
"I'll tell you about it later." I smiled at her and we talked for at least an hour longer before I paid, and picked her up again and ran to the car. I put her inside first, then myself.
"Are you gunna be in trouble for being home late, or we can stay at a hotel?"
"No, my mom is on medication and she hasn't had any today so she wouldn't notice and train going throu the house, so a hotel sounds good."
I smiled at her and she smiled back painfully. I could tell she didn't like the subject.
"So, when did you last "get some"" She winked at me and I cringed. She just had to bring up that subject.
"Umm 1933, I was raped." I was sure my face automatically frowned, apparantly so did hers cause when I looked at her she had tears in her eyes.
"Omg! I'm so sorry, I didn't know" I cut her off.
"It's okay, it was over seventy years ago, when you live forever you can get over things sometimes I guess."
We talked no more but I did take her hand and squeeze it reassureringly. She squeezed back and we soon after reached a Ramada, I heard they were expensive, but nice, clean and respectable, thats all we needed. I picked her up, locked the doors and entered the automatic doors, we reached the desk and I paid for the most expensive room they had. It was the Queen's Suite and almost everything was gold. The bed, the floors, the walls, the bathroom, the everything. I took her and laid her down on the bed, I pulled back the bedding and placed her inside, pulling the covers back over her. I walked away to the bathroom to find some type of bed clothes but finding none I walked back in with her standing in her underwear trying to get her top off fully. She smiled at me and walked over, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the bed. She pulled the covers back and pulled me in with her. She cuddled against me, my back to her chest, it was so peaceful, just listening to her breathing. Her heart beat softly pounding, its constant rhythm music to my ears. I let her sleep and let the calm mood settle on me for tonight, cause tomorrow I knew there would be hell to pay.
Ending it there. Its 2:30 in the morning. Review if you want something different. :)
