"Shut up Cherry." I got out of my bean bag and went down to my room. Our rooms weren't that big, but they were cozy and we didn't really spend that much time in them anyway. I lied down in my bed and thought about tomorrow, when I would go out and try to seduce a vampire. Cherry may be confident in my abilities to seduce but I wasn't. Of course, Cherry was after me all the time so I didn't think he was one to judge that.
I fell asleep quickly and slept in late. I hardly ever slept in late. I was up at three o' clock.
"Oh look who decided to get up," Paco said when I walked into our designated kitchen area.
"Shut up." Cherry came over to sniff me.
"You need a shower," he stated.
"You need a life."
"All I need is you babe," he teased and hopped away as I went to punch him. I stalked out and went to grab some clothes to shower. Our showers were high school locker room style, not by choice, but they had curtains for privacy, mostly my privacy because I'm the only girl, and stocked towels and soap and the works.
I quickly washed myself and got dressed just incase Cherry decided to come down like he had a habit of doing. Honestly that boy should know by now he's not going to get any. Teenage boys, what are you going to do?
"Hungry?" Zesty asked when I reappeared.
"No, I have business to do today. I'll eat later." I slipped out to my room to put on some of my better clothes and laced up my chucks and walked back out. "If I'm not back by midnight, I would start worrying."
I made my escape to the door but Cherry stepping front of me, blocking the door.
"Come on Cherry, I don't have time for this." We were too close.
"I just want you to promise to be careful. I know you can get reckless sometimes."
"I know, Cherry, just let me get this over with as soon as possible."
"No, I want to do something first."
"God Cherry! What?" I snapped. He surveyed my eyes before wrapping an arm around my waist and kissing me. I pushed him away and he fell on the floor so I felt kind of bad. "I'm sorry," I said, holding my hand out. He took it and I helped him up.
"I kiss you and you push me down?"
"I didn't mean for you to fall, I'm sorry. Why did you kiss me?"
"I wanted to do that since I met you."
"Well you did it now let me through." Cherry stepped aside and I brushed passed him and slipped outside.
I had no feelings for Cherry. Well, ok, I did but it was like the feelings you felt towards a brother.
God I seriously couldn't believe I was doing this. I was pretty sure something snapped in my brain yesterday that was making me go crazy. So here I was, walking down the street to a nearby club in search of a vampire to seduce. The nearest club that hosted both vampires and humans was only a couple blocks away so I went there.
The bouncer smiled at me and waved me inside and I was suddenly nervous. I always hated the fang-bangers, the girls who banged vampires, and this was the perfect place to go to pick up fang-bangers if you were a vampire looking for a fun time. I usually avoided this place.
Almost immediately, a dark haired vampire boy stepped up to me. "Hey honey, you lookin' for a good time?" His eyes were trained on my neck and I fidgeted, uncomfortable talking to the enemy like this. Don't get me wrong, I could flirt like a whore when I wanted to but this was a vampire and flirting wasn't exactly on the top of my list. Staking them was more likely to be on the top.
"You know it," I managed. The boy winked at me.
"I'm Quinn. What's your name sweet cheeks?"
There was no way I could tell him my real name so I lied. "Sasha."
"Mm, pretty name." Quinn's arms wrapped around my waist and pulled me close. In all my life, I had never been touched by a vampire this way. Usually it was in a 'I want to kill you' way but this was an 'I want you' way that I wasn't used to. Cherry was the only person who ever touched me like that. Not that Quinn touching me was any better; Cherry's touch was much more pleasant.
"Thank you."
"You dance?" he asked, motioning to the dance floor.
Feeling bold, I nodded my head. His face lit up with a grin and he yanked me onto the pulsing dance floor.
The DJ started blasting Take it Off by Ke$ha. I thought it was very fitting since vampires were freaks and this is usually where the freaks went but hey, this was my jam. My body automatically started moving to the beat.
If Cherry were here, he would be jealous because I was losing myself in the music and bumping and grinding Quinn. Equally, he did too. The lyrics were pouring out of my mouth and straight at Quinn and I couldn't stop it. My actions were linked to the lyrics. If you ever heard the song, you would know. Despite myself, I forgot I was dancing with a thing I was supposed to stake but for now, I was enjoying myself. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun.
Out of nowhere, I got a crippling headache. My knees sank out from under me the pain was so bad. Quinn caught me. "What's wrong?" he asked, eyes glittering.
"Headache," I groaned. It was getting worse fast. The thumping music wasn't helping any. I had to get out of here. "I have to go." I pushed away from him hard, but he didn't move. I pushed through the crowd holding my head until I gratefully walked through the door. The fresh air didn't help at all, it anything it made it worse. I leaned against the wall, holding my head, and slid down the wall.
