New In Town. chapter three.
The door swung open after a couple of punches and a confused looking cute blond guy stood blocking the way in with his body. I went to try push past him but as soon as I tried to get through the door frame I got pushed back slightly by an invisible barrier. Ok, odd. "What's wrong?" the boy asked frowning at me then looking around the street.
"Vampires! Oh god, I almost died! Please, let me in!" I spoke so quickly that I barely understood myself but the boy nodded and stood back from the door.
"You can come in." He said as the three others appeared. I walked across the door frame carefully incase I got launched back and when nothing happened I came fully into the hall letting the door get closed and locked behind me. Now I was inside the house I felt calm and...cared for, I guess the house was just really home-like or something.
"Come on honey." Said Eve, taking my hand and pulling me towards a living room and pointing to a sofa which I sat down in, looking at my hands and totally unsure of what the hell happens next.
"Explain what happened," The blond boy said soothingly, "and this time slower." He smiled at me and I noticed that he was super hot but the way the Eve girl was leaning on him made it obvious they were together.
As the thin girl left the room and walked down the hall into an other room I began my story, telling them about the vampire appearing and the guys who'd appeared and saved me-blushing as I remembered one of the guys hands on my waist-and by the time the thin girl had came back with five cokes and started handing them out, I'd began babbling. "It's totally weird, right?" I said, speaking faster because I was unsure of myself and milling a huge tense smile because it's what I do when I'm nervous. "I mean, cause vampires aren't real. If I wasn't clean as a daisy I'd think I was whacked out on scooby snacks but I'm not. Maybe he was a psycho, or I'm on some show and a camera crew is about to pop out and-" My voice trailed of as I looked around and saw all four of them staring at me. The skinny girl smiled at me reassuringly and held out a coke which I took from her and managed to smile and give her a quick "Thanks."
"No problem," She said "My name is Claire, You already know Eve." From her spot on the couch next to me Eve waved "That's Shane." She said, pointing to the boy who was staring longingly at the games system by the TV but stopped to give me a quick smile then stare longingly at Claire instead of the games console. "and that's Michael." The blond boy nodded at me, looking distracted.
"Ummm, look guys nice to meet you and all but is it ok if I sleep here then get the hell out of town? Cause If going out at night in this town means meeting psychopaths who think they're vampires then I'm out of here." The four of them are looking at me sympathetically and that freaks me out so I shift in my seat.
"What you saw wasn't a wannabe." Eve said, running her hands through her hair, "It was the real deal. I'm so sorry, It's my fault your here-" I hadn't thought of that! "and so it's my job to tell you. Your in Morganville, a town run by vampires." I look between the four of them, all looking at me solemnly except from Michael who is staring out the window and then I give up trying to process what's just been said but I just can't.
"Look, I'm so tired. Is it ok if I crash on your couch tonight? I mean I could sleep in my car but I don-" I began then Claire cut me off.
"You can sleep in my room? I'll just sleep with Sha- I mean on the couch." Eve shot Claire a look and opened her mouth to say something but I cut in.
"Look, I'm so tired I could sleep outside if I wasn't afraid I'd die." I accidently yawned at that point but it only emphasized my point. "You guys get some rest in your own beds and I'll be out of your hair by tomorrow morning."
"You'll have to speak to some people before you leave." Michael said and I waved him and the others out the room. Once they'd gone I put down my bag, lay down on the soft couch and before you could say "I nearly died" I was sound asleep.
Sorry guys! This one is short and sucky-I know!- BU it means I can move on to chapter FOUR which will be out soon. - shayla x
