"Riley.?" I whisper almost to myself. A shocked, scared, sad expression plasters my face. It can't be riley. The rain gets harder. Maybe I'm seeing things. I probably am seeing things. But it has to be him. It's his high cheekbones and angular perfectly shaped jaw line. It's the board shoulders and partitioned body. It's the facial features and expression. I can't see his eyes but I know it's him. It has to be him. "Riley!" I scream. He looks confused.
"You know me.?" he asks puzzled completely. I nod my head. He comes closer. And I smile in relief to myself.
"Riley." I say. It's him. It's Riley. "Oh my god, Riley." he still keeps a quizzical look. "Riley it's me don't you remember me.?" he doesn't answer. Like his arguing inside his head. He comes closer to me so were only inches away. "It's me. It's Anastasia." Riley seems distraught. What's wrong with him.? Where's my Riley that I know.
"Anastasia?" he finally comes to say, like he say no idea who I am. I get that horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach again. He doesn't know me. He doesn't remember me. He shakes his head and growls to himself. "Tasie?" he looks at me and I smile at his remembrance. I finally get a look at his eyes. They red. Blood red. The glow in their brightness. Riley's eyes are brown not red. No ones eyes are red. Except the guy who just tried to kill me. Maybe their contacts? Riley hates contacts. Something is so wrong here. Where is my Riley.
"Riley, I can't believe it's you." I smiled and finally take him into a hug. He is cold. Ice cold. Like his could give you frostbite his is so cold. "Riley your freezing."
"I know who you are." he murmurs. Of course you do, I wanted to state obviously. "I know it."
(Switch to third person POV)
Riley fights against himself in his head. He believes he knows this girl. He knows he does. He catches little glimpses of memories in his head for her face. He sees her face, and her smile and him being around her. He remembers her eyes and that's how he knows he was close with his girl Anastasia, who he calls Tasie if he remembers properly. But the urge to just take one swoop and inject the poison into her system to add to his numbers was tempting. Too tempting. "Riley your freezing." she says concerned. He starts a full fledged argument in his head. Unsure of how he had used to feel towards this girl, who had thee most desirable scent compared to anyone in his troops. The smell of her drove him insane. Mentally and physically. The urge to bite her was extremely strong. But he tried to hold himself back to find the human Riley he once was. If this girl had ever meant so much to him, the one thing he didn't want to take away was her life. "I know who you are." he murmured to himself. "I know it."
"Riley." she cried. Hearing her distraught whimpers. "Riley, I thought you were gone. I thought you were dead. I was so lost. I didn't know how to function without you. I wasent even able to get off the floor. I couldn't find you anywhere. I thought I lost my best friend." she sniffled. "I thought I lost you forever." Riley wants to just rip his insides out from his complete torn split from his instincts and greed from his humanity and civilized self. Riley battled within himself. Fighting want over want. Human want over vampire want. Her sweet smelling aroma filled his body and instinct was beating out the rashtional part of his mind and memories. Finally snapping. In one smooth motion, he leaned down to her neck and bit her.
(Back to Tasie's POV)
Riley just held me. Trying to decipher ideas. Riley leans over slightly and then I feel a sharp excruciating pain in my neck. I drop to the ground out of Riley's arms. Did he just.. Bite me? I started to convulse on the ground wet stinging pain ripped through my body. It was worse than an imaginable physical pain. What was happening to me.? Did riley seriously just bite me? But what would a bite do.? I continue to have what I rashioned out to either be a stroke or epilepsy attack. Yeah.. That's it.. From the shock. My whole body burned on fire. It felt like I was being roasted from the inside out. My throat felt like it was closing up and I just wanted rip my chest open so that the rain would cool my heart and veins down. Searing agony was all that was felt. Images and memories of my mother, father, brother and niece flashed by, along with close friends and happy times. I saw me and Riley from when we met in junior year, him making me go to football games and me making him teach my how to play guitar and us deciding both to skip prom and just party at my brothers college fraternity. From us entering college and going to class and studying together. Us dancing together at our friends wedding. Him come and finding me in the rain. That moment were riley had almost, almost kissed me. When I had ran that day. I wanted to get away and he came and found me. And he almost kissed me. The last thing I saw was Riley kissing my forehead saying "in life. We're either the pawn, helping to win a game or the lucky ones who watch things piece together."
"So what are we?" I whisper as he encircles my forehead with his thumb.
"We're neither. We're the lucky ones who help things fall together for the best. As long as our hearts are beating, we will always be the lucky ones." then the darkness comes and everything goes black.
I re-awaken on the ground. The rain had lighten and Riley stands above me. "Riley." I groan feeling sore. "How'd I get here?" I was so confused it was hard to remember little things. I could barely remember where I was. I know my name is Anastasia Hawthorne and that I am college student. But faces blur in my memory except for four. My mother, father, brother and Riley's. Riley stood distraught over me.
"What have I done?" I hear him grumble to himself pulling at his hair. He paces unaware I am on the ground.
"Riley." I call out. My throat is rasp and dry. The immediate run of unknown want lusts through me. He turns his head over towards me and then rushes over.
"I can't believe what I did." his voice is low. Riley? Does he remember me? I think he does. I hope he does. He kicks a trash can, send it flying down the alley. Through his anger I can tell he has done something wrong, something wrong to me. And that he does know me. I push myself up against the brick wall in the alley. My throat burns and aches and I want to just break my neck to stop the feeling. The raindrops almost look like they freeze as they touch my skin.
"What's going on." I whisper. I remember the last thoughts I heard of Riley's voice in my flashback "..As long as our hearts are beating, we will always be the lucky ones." I flatten my hand down to where my heart should be. I felt nothing. Not a beat, not a thump, nothing. My heart had stop beating. I am no longer one of the lucky one. I stand up angered. Rage inside me along with this unearthly feeling. "what is going on.!" I scream. Riley flips back around comes over to me quicker than possible and clomps a hand over my mouth, signaling for me to be quiet. This only makes me angrier I pushed Riley off of me and he flies into the wall. Desperation and concern lurk in his face. Trouble and wrong.
"You're a tough little newborn." Riley says darkly with a melancholic smirk. I rush over to him and hold him against the wall.
"What. Is. Going. On!" I scream at him again. The smirk fades back into those same dreary emotions.
"I'm so sorry Tasie." I stare at him darkly. Why won't he tell me what happen! He had to this to me. When he bit me! "Stop that." he seethes out painfully. What did you do to me! I finally find you and everything is so wrong! "Stop that!" he yells, shoving me into the wall. What did I do.?
"Stop what!" I growl at him. His hands push against my shoulders.
"Stop." he seems confused. "Stop showing me those memories. The bad ones, the ones I can barely remember." he ordered. I still don't know what I did. I stare him down like he's lying to me. "Stop!" he shouts again. I don't know what I did but I feel accomplish. I smirk and turn my gaze to the side. A few cool seconds subside the rain keeping its inexact time. "you always were good at bringing the darkness into people's lives, Tasie." he comes to say.
"Except you. You always made me find the light people. You made me find the light in me." I turn back over to him, the feeling of tears welling in my eyes.
"I'm so sorry Tase." I look at my eyes for a slit second then looks down. My throat burns heavily.
"What did you do to me?" I cry out. He pushed a piece of hair out of my face and gives a small smile.
"I don't think I ever told you how beautiful you are." I didn't know if he was stalling to tell me or being sincere. "You really are."
"You never told me that before Riley. But I need to know what's going on." I pleaded.
"You are never going to believe me though." he says quietly.
"I have to try." I urged. "Something's obviously happened to both of us. Your eyes were never red." he smirks.
"do you really remember that much. Especially about me."
"You're one of the only things I know for sure about right now. A bunch of things are fuzzy." I heard him curse to himself. "Riley what happened that you're so mad.?"
"Tasie. I bit you." he started off. "And I'm a vampire." what.? He had to be joking. Vampires aren't real. They can't be. Are they?
"What. That's impossible."
"And when a vampire bites a human they turn into a vampire. And start to slowly lose their memory of when they were human." woah woah woah. Not only is he telling me that he is a vampire, but now I'm one too. Cause he bit me.
"oh yeah, and umm the moon is actually a giant ping pong ball and that my hair is made out of black licorice and that if you hold your breath really long you can grow fins and antlers." I say sarcastically.
"Actually we can hold our breath forever." he pointed out. "And I told you, you wouldn't believe me."
"It's a hard thing to grasp." I gave an annoyed smile. It was quiet for a second. "you really are being serious. You-..me-..we are vampires." he nodded, disappointed in himself. "we are no longer the lucky ones." I murmur.
"And that was the most painful memory you gave me." he noted softly.
"What do you mean 'I gave you'?" I asked confused.
"We can have these mental abilities sometimes. That makes us stronger than others. Give us an edge. You can apparently give people painful memories. Suck the light out of them." Riley explained.
"Riley I'm still so confused. And my throat hurts, really bad." throughout this whole time, guilt still lingered across his bloodstone red eyes.
"c'mon. I'll show you the way." he threw his arm around me and kept me close to his body. "stay close, don't start fights with anybody and don't get killed." don't get killed. Isn't that a bit redundant. I'm already dead. Undead.. Whatever.. "I want nothing to happen to you. So just lay low." I nod. I stay extremely close to him trying to get heat. But he is as ice cold as me. We are no longer the lucky ones.
