An Other World
Chapter 2
When I woke up again I looked at my clock next to my bed. It was ten after one. My room was so dark –even during the day from the way we had blankets over the windows- so I figured it was only one in the morning, and that I have only been asleep for a few hours. I yawned as I sat up and tiredly got out of bed. I walked to the bath room and did what I had to do in there. As I walked out of the bath room more awake I saw light coming from out side. I blinked, it wasn't one in the morning it was one in the afternoon, I over slept and missed the bus.
I groaned a little as I walked down the stairs my mom was sitting on her chair. "Sorry mom I didn't mean to over sleep. Why didn't you wake me?"
"Me and your sister tried but you were out cold, and you didn't look so well. And you still don't, you look a little pale. You felling ok?"
"No not really." That wasn't a lie I didn't feel to well I was over tired and still week from last night. After I got a drink I headed back to my room and laid on my bed watching TV. Before I knew it I as asleep again, to exhausted to stay awake. Then I was dreaming that I was at the "swimming hole." Talking with Lethia.
"What's troubling you?" Lethia asked as she looked at me.
"I'm trying to figure what Kai is." I said as I stared out at the water. Holding my knees to my chest resting my chin on them.
"Same here."
"I thought of something."
"And that would be?"
"Well I was thinking. What ever Kai is you might be, since we don't know what you are. Since you lost your memory of your past."
"Why do you think what ever he might be I might be that as well?"
"Well for one. You both have pale skin, are fast and stronger then humans. Plus your eyes, you both have the same empty look in them."
"Well you do have a small point there."
"Yeah, I guess I do. I just hope we found out what he is and soon."
"Same here."
When I woke up again it was around five-thirty. I sighed as I sat up and tried to think what day it was. I stared at the TV the only light in the dark room when I had a feeling that someone else was in the room. I knew Anna wasn't cause I could tell – well Lethia could by peoples aura's she could tell who was near by- but this was a different aura I was getting. I quickly turned on the light to see Kai leaning back against my closet door I jumped a little when I first saw him.
"What are you doing here?!" I glared at him. I was mad that he was here with out me knowing and in my room with out my permission! Damn it, I hardly new this guy and hear he was in my room!
"I came here to see how you were doing." He has no expression to his face as he looked at me.
"I'm quiet fine. But why do you care how I'm doing?"
"Actually I don't know why I just do," as he said this he looked away. He then looked back at me, "Plus you just looked so drained last night I had to make sure you were ok..."
"Well thanks for caring." I said sarcastically. "But what are you doing in my house, no my room with out me knowing. Have you ever heard of privacy?"
"Yes I have but you were asleep so I don't think I was really disturbing your privacy."
"Yes you were. When people sleep they like to be left alone. Ad how did you get in here with out my mom knowing?"
"She's not home."
"And Anna?'
"At a friends house, at least that what I think she said."
"How long have you been here?"
"Not long… only a few hours. You know you kind of talk in your sleep."
"Ugh." I fell back on my bed looking up at the ceiling. "What did I say while I slept." I sighed.
"Not a lot only my name twice." Kai said grinning.
"Oh." I flushed a little, - Great now I was saying his name in my sleep. What will happen next? - I sat up and looked at the clock now it was five-forty. I got up and started to look through my clothing. I picked out my baggy cameo-pants and a matching t-shirt that said,
Look at me
now Have
dreams about
me later.
on it. I looked over at Kai. "I'll be right back." I turned and left the room and to the bath room. I shut the door behind me and locked it. I was grateful that it now had a lock on it. I turned on the water for the shower and looked at my self in the mirrors before I got in. My mom was right I was a little pale. I shrugged and took my shower. When I was done with the shower and got dressed it was now six-fifteen. When I walked into the room it was all dark. I didn't remember having the lights off, or the TV. But as I was about to turn on the lights something cold grabbed my hand and pulled it away from the switch. The next thing I knew was that I was pulled across the room and was on my bed. I waited till me eyes adjusted to the dark to look up. When I looked up I saw Kais golden eyes looking down at me from the side of my bed.
I was about to say something when Kai put his hand over my mouth so I wouldn't speak. I just glared at him. 'What the hell is going on?!'
'Its Saris, He's back with a few new friends.' Lethia said. I could tell that she was on alert.
'Wait?! Saris is in my house?!'
'No. Outside.'
'Great...' I closed my eyes for a while. And when I opened them again Kai was on the other side of the room, and heading out the door. I quickly sat up and ran out the door. Kai was already out of site. It was dark down stairs, and the only light was coming in through the window from the street light. As I walked down the stairs by kitten was running up them, her tail puffed out like a raccoons. - Her tail does that when she excited or scared. - I picked her up and walked down stairs, but as I neared the kitchen she hissed, scratched my arm and ran back up the stairs. I looked down at my arm, it was bleeding a little. – Great just my luck. - I sighed and walked into the back living room. Kai was standing on the other side of the room, all I could see of him was his bright golden eyes. "Is he gone?' I asked my voice a whisper.
"Yes." Kai said. It sounded like he was out of breath.
"Thank goodness." I sighed happily. I steeped closer to him, and he took a step back. I blinked and stood in one spot. "Are you ok?"
"Yes… and no..." His was now standing next to the window and I could see his face. It had no emotion on it, but his eyes were turning a darker golden now.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
"I mean is that I'm fine –by no injury way- but there's something else." He then looked out the window.
"And what is that something else?"
"It's kind of hard to explain." Kai sighed and closed his eyes. He then and turned to look at me. "Did you get cut or something?"
"Uh yeah… my cat scratched my arm a little." I looked down at my arm. "How did you know?"
"Just go wash the blood off… please."
"Why?"
"I said it's hard to explain. Just do it!"
"Fine!! God you don't have to get so bossy." I walked into the kitchen and washed the scratch and dried it off with a towel. I walked back into the other room. "There… happy?" I looked around and Kai wasn't there. I blinked and looked out the window. "I don't think that he… "
"You don't think what?" A voice said behind me.
I jumped a little and turned around but no one was there. "What the hell!!"
I then heard a chuckling, behind me. I turned around quickly and no one was there again!! "Will you knock it off!!? This is getting annoying!!" I yelled as I span around looking around the room. I stopped and stared at the darkness, and heard the chuckling behind me. I growled a little through my teeth.
"Am I getting you pissed?"
"Yes you are! So will you knock it off, already!?!"
"Oh but why? Its fun." He said chuckling.
"No its not it annoying!!"
"Awe your no fun." He was now standing right behind me.
I said nothing I just gritted my teeth.
"Are you still mad?"
"What do you think?" I just stood there staring at the darkness.
"Oh… well I'm sorry." I then felt him wrap his hands around my waist from behind. "I was just having fun."
"Just having fun yeah right…" I sighed and looked down at the floor. "By the way why did you tell me to wash my arm? And what are you?"
"I knew you would ask that." He then let go of my waits and was now standing in front of me.
"So are you going to tell me?" I said looking up at him.
"I rather not… you won't stop bugging me till I do…"
"Yep. Exactly."
"Ok… well you have to promise me that, one you won't tell anyone of me… I will reveal myself to everyone at the right time and two when I do reveal myself you must not tell them what I really am ok?"
"Ok I promise as long as you don't tell anyone of Lethia."
"Deal. So what do you think I am anyway?"
"I don't know. But what ever you are, Lethia might be too."
"And why do you say that?"
"Well because we don't know what exactly Lethia might be and she is kind of like you in a way..."
"How can she or you not know what she is?"
"Well….. It's complicated…."
"Really?"
"Yes. Really. But to put it in an easy way. Lethia lost her memory." I looked out the window as I tried to think.
Kai didn't say anything so I looked back at him. "You ok?"
"Yea..." I noticed his eyes weren't golden any more they were black. "So… what do you think I am?"
"I… don't know…" I sighed a little and looked down at the ground. "I've been trying to figure that out since I first saw you last night…."
He didn't say anything. He just looked at me. I could feel is gaze on me. After a few minutes of silence. I looked up at him. "So… are you going to tell me what you are?"
Kai sighed and looked out the window. "Like I said earlier I rather not…. But it looks like I have no choice." He then looked at me. "Do you believe in vampires, werewolves and all of those, what they call them "mystical creatures"?"
"Well no duh I do. Look at what I have to fight everyday." I looked at him seriously. "What are getting at?"
"I should have thought you did." He sighed and looked back out the window. "Well… how can I put this…" He then looked at the ground deep in thought. "I'm... what you call a vampire…"
I blinked. I was a little shocked. "I… would have had never guessed that…." I said softly and looked at him as he looked at me.
"Remember you can't tell anyone."
"I know." I closed my eyes for only a min, to feel him wrap his arm around my waist from behind again. "Why do you keep on doing that for?"
"Doing what?"
"Wrapping your arms around my waist?"
"Oh… well I don't know…"
"How can you not know?"
"Easily. I do things with out thinking before I do it or without realizing that I'm doing it..."
"Weird…"
"Weird? How is that weird?"
"It's weird because… well how can I put this... Because guys usually only put there arms around a girls waist when they like that girl… not because they don't know why there doing it!"
"Oh… sorry…." He was then leaning his head on my shoulder. "You smell good…" he whispered.
"What?!"
"What?"
"What did you just say?"
"Did I say something?"
"Yes!!"
"Oh I didn't even realize that I did."
I sighed and leaned my head back to rest on his shoulder and closed my eyes. 'Wait what am I doing!! Why am I resting my head on his shoulder?'
'I don't know maybe because you're tired'
'I hope so… but I can't be I'm going to the hub tonight.' I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at the clock. It was now about seven. I then noticed that Kai still had his arms around my waist. "Are you going to let me go or are we just going to be here like this all night…. When I rather be at the hub…" I said the last part very softly.
"I would if I could… I'm just… stuck…"
"How the hell are you stuck?!?!"
"I don't know… my body won't move… I think it's drawn to your sent…"
"My sent!!! Why would it be drawn to my sent!!?"
"Because you're not like the other humans… you have a different... sweeter sent then them…"
'Great… now I have a blood sucker drawn to me and wont let me go!!!' "You better not bite me if you're a real vampire!!"
"I'm trying not to… its just… I'm…" He was laying his head on my shoulder now.
"Well if its so hard not to! Let me go then!!! Before I do something I don't want to do!!"
"Like what… What could you do to me?"
"Just think about it… it will defiantly be painful… no matter if you're a vampire or not… you're still a guy…"
"Oh yeah…" Kai slowly let go of me and stood back. I turned to look at him.
"Are you going to be ok?"
"Yea…. I think so..."
"Ok…" I turned and walked to my room and started packing a few things that I might need - like a book, my CD player etc. - incase I got bored while I was at the Hub. Kai was standing in the room watching, me as I got ready. I put on my coat and took out my cell phone.
"Who are you calling?" Kai asked as he stood at the door.
"My dad."
"Why?"
"So he can give me a ride down town."
"Why do you need a ride?"
"Well one it's raining and its cold. And two I don't feel like walking."
"Well don't call your dad and don't worry about walking. Meet me out side when you're ready."
I blinked and watched as he walked out the door. "O...kay?" I put my cell back in my pocket and walked out the door locking it behind me. Kai was standing in the middle of the yard, in the rain waiting. I walked over to him.
"Climb on my back and hold on tight."
I nodded and climbed on his back, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. 'What am I doing? I fell like a little kid doing this.' Kai then started running down the street. Everything flew by us like we were driving in a car. I noticed that Kai's breathing was normal and he wasn't breathing heavy like humans would when they ran –but they still couldn't run as fast as we were going. - It felt like we were –in a way- flying down the street. And before I knew it, we were at the back of the hub. As I climbed off Kai's back my head starting spinning a little. I lost my balance for a min but caught and put my hand to my head. "Wow head rush…"
"You ok?"
"Yep just fine." I started walking to the front of the hub. I noticed that Kai wasn't following. Actually he was no were around. I just shrugged and walked into the hub. I was greeted by a few of my friends as soon as I walked in, as always.
As the hub closed I walked outside and stood there waiting with my friends for there ride. I didn't have far to go to my dads house, since it was right across the street. I waited till the last one left and headed over, only to find that someone was following me. I turned around to see Kai. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to give you a ride home."
"A ride? Sorry but I don't want to ride on your back again."
"I'm not talking about that. I was talking about in my car."
"You drive?" I looked around the parking lot as I tried to figure out what car was his.
"Yep."
"How old are you anyway."
"Old enough."
"Come on tell me how old you are."
"Let's just say I'm seventeen."
"Ok what ever. I'll just believe your seventeen."
"So am I giving you a ride home or not."
"Fine I guess so. Why else would I not go?"
"There are many reasons why."
"Like what…"
"Well how do you know that I will take you home, and not kidnap you?"
"Well I trust you enough not to."
"You sure about that? How can trust me…" He then leaned forward and whispered "A vampire…" In my ear.
"I rather have my life in the hands of you then in those things that I fight everyday."
"Really now?"
"Yes really… Now can we go to your car, before the cops bug us…?"
"Yes…" He started walking up the street, and I followed right behind him. We stop at a blue jeep and he opened the passenger door for me. I climbed in. As soon as I was in and putting on my seat belt he was already in the drivers seat. He started up the car, and then looked over at me. "So you really trust me that I'll take you home?"
"Yes…."
"You don't sound so sure."
"There's just a lot on my mind at the moment…"
"Like what?'
"Nothing… that I want to talk about…"
"And why don't you want to talk about it?"
"Cause I just don't want to ok?" I sighed lightly and looked out the car window. "Are you going to take me home now? Or are we just going to sit here?"
"Hmmm… maybe…"
"What do you mean maybe? Are we going or not?!" I turned to look at him.
"I don't know, maybe."
I sighed and turned to look back out the window. "Maybe I should have just asked my dad for a ride." I said softly to myself.
"So why didn't you?"
"I don't know. But will you just take me home already?"
"Maybe." He was grinning now.
"You're really starting to get annoying."
"I know." He chuckled a little. I just glared at him.
"So do you really trust me to take you home or not?"
"Well I guess I do since I'm sitting in your car. Plus if you weren't going to take me home we would have already left by now."
"You sure about that?"
"Yes…."
"You still don't sound so sure…"
"So what if I don't?"
"Well that means you don't know if you really trust me or not."
"So what can we just go already?"
"Ok but I don't think I will take you home." He started up the car then looked back at me.
"What?!?" I turned to look at him.
"Joking calm down."
"I am calm I think…."
"You think?"
"Yeah what ever. Let's just go already." I sighed and looked out the window and sighed lightly. "I don't care if I go home or not…" I said softly to myself.
"You don't?"
"No I don't…. It might be better if I don't anyway…"
"And why would you say that."
"Well for one. Saris would probably come and search for me until I was dead. So that would mean he would leave my friends and family alone. And I would do anything to protect my family and friends."
"And is there any other reason?"
"Well were ever you take me, if you do take me anywhere then just sit here, will probably be better then what I have to do here everyday."
"I think not."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well what do you know? I could take you to a place worse then this and do something to you that you wouldn't like?"
"Well I don't think you would do that."
"How do you know if I wont or not."
"I don't know I can just tell. Can you please take me home now?"
"Fine." He finally put the car in drive and drove to my house faster then anyone else. 'What is with him and speed?' I asked myself as we parked in front of the house. "Thanks for the ride." I got out of the car and looked at him. "Night."
He said nothing he was just staring at the windshield like in a daze. I slammed the door shut and it still had no effect. As soon as I turned around he had pulled away. I sighed and walked into the house and up to my bed room. I changed into my Pj's and lied down on the bed staring up at the ceiling. I had the room for my self that night since my sis was at a friend's house for the night. I had finally fallen asleep probably around midnight or later.
