Chapter three
The next morning I quickly got out of bed stuffed my bag with my favourite clothes, got my ATM card and five hundred dollars cash which I had been saving for a shopping spree after I finished school. After I packed everything into my jansport bag, which looked rather puffy today I got ready for school. Put on a brown three quarter top with a knee high skirt. Black buckle boots and a black head band to finish the outfit. I grabbed my bag opened the door to go smacking right into Logan's chest.
"Ow, why are you just standing outside my room?" I said rubbing my head. It really hurt!
"Sorry, you were taking a while so I thought I would come get you, you just came out just as I was coming in" he said casually.
"Whatever, see you" I said walking past him.
"Aren't you having breakfast?" he asked me.
"No I'm not" I replied.
"Why?" he asked me while following me downstairs. I made it to the front door yelled bye to Mum and Dad and walked outside with Logan in pursuit.
"Stop following me!" I said in an irritated voice.
"You didn't answer my question"
"I don't have to" I replied.
I got in my car, Logan didn't join me. He never did which I was grateful for. I drove to Kara's house and picked her up.
"Hey Kayla, so are we going now or?" She asked me.
"We are going now" I replied.
"Where are we going?" Blake asked me as he jumped into my car.
"School of course" I said with a glare in his direction. Dam it, of all the days for him to get into my car it had to be today.
I was at school in ten minutes Logan was waiting in the parking spot where I usually park. I got out said bye to Kara and said I'll catch up with her later. Whenever we get the chance we had to try and leave. I brushed past Logan who quickly caught up with me.
"Would have been faster if you just let me teleport you here" He said with laughter.
"Yeah but then I would be near you which I hate. You've just made my life very complicated in a short 3 months you know that?" I said calmly.
"Well I've waited for you my entire life, I can't just let you go. And with time you'll understand why, if I could let you go I would. But I don't have a choice" he said to me.
"You're not making any sense to me. And I'm not giving up my freedom just because you want me" I said back.
"You don't have a choice, I'm trying to be nice, you're not making it easy" he said while closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
"Well you haven't made it easy either by being with me twenty four seven since you've got here. I haven't been able to do things I normally would do, I hardly ever get to see Kara who is my best and only friend if you hadn't noticed. Just for today could you just leave me alone" I whined.
"I'll leave you alone when I feel you are safe" he replied.
"What does that mean?" he's so confusing.
"Nothing, class is about to start" he said quickly. Logan tug at my wrist pulling me towards our first class. God he's irritating. I looked ahead to see Kara walking with Blake, she was walking fast trying to leave Blake behind. It wasn't working
I watched as time passed by it was 11 am and I hadn't been able to get Logan to leave me alone. I was sitting in English class watching Romeo and Juliet. I hated that movie, no one can fall in love that fast and want to do anything for that loved one without knowing them that well. I guess I'll only know what love is when it happens. But right now I won't let it happen. In this day and age who gets forced to get married? Why did my parents do this? I hated what I was about to do. I loved them I didn't want to hurt them by leaving, but I didn't want to get hurt by letting them ruin my life. Marry someone I barely knew. I'm young I'm only eighteen for crying out loud. As I watched the movie Juliet had just discovered Romeos dead body. My thoughts made me feel like crying I felt a tear roll down, I was about to wipe it away before anyone saw it but I felt someone's hand wipe it away for me. It was Logan.
I just stared at him shocked. He looked at the tear drop on his finger like he was analyzing it. Whatever Logan did just made me angry because of him my life is complicated. The teacher put up the lights and the bell rang I packed my bags and practically ran out of the room only for Logan to pull me back by my wrist.
"Why do you keep doing that? What do you want" I said without looking at him.
"I won't bother you for the rest of the day, neither will Blake. Go meet Kara. You're free for today" Logan said in a sad voice.
He let go of my wrist. My crying affected him this much? Is that why he was looking at the tear droplet so much? I felt guilty about the way I made him feel. But right now I had to find Kara and get out of here ASAP. I pulled out my phone and told her come to the car now!
Two minutes later she was running to my car.
"I'm here" she said out of breath.
"You are so unfit" I said laughing trying to lighten the mood.
"Yeah I know, don't rub it in" she said with a smile.
We got in the car and quickly pooled our money together we had about a thousand dollars which was a descent amount. Plus we had saved money in our accounts so we had enough to live off comfortably. I started the car and headed towards the highway the next town called Riverton was about 5 hours away from Oakland (where I live). Kara and I talked throughout the journey, we were both upset in the beginning but we settling into the idea of running away. We were about 2 hours away from our new home.
"So how did you get Logan to leave you alone for a while?" Kara asked me.
"I was crying in English it's strange. We were watching Romeo and Juliet. I started crying but I wasn't crying about the movie I was crying because we had to leave. Strange thing is I think Logan knew I wasn't crying about the movie" I said to Kara.
"How do you know?" she asked me.
"It's just how it felt at the time" I said while driving. I looked further ahead when all of a sudden a black object was in the middle of the road.
"Kara do you see that?" I asked her. Kara looked a head.
"Yeah I do, what is it?" She asked me.
"I don't know, better go check it out" I said.
I drove up close to it and got out of the car along with Kara. We both slowly walked towards it, it was huge as we got closer I gasped.
"It's a hit and run" It was a person. There was blood all over the spot. I ran towards the body the persons hair was covering his face, his arms where is awkward positions. He looked like he was in a bad state. I couldn't see his chest rising or falling I quickly checking for life. I couldn't find a pulse.
"I..I..I think he's dead" I said to Kara who was still as ice.
"Kara!" I yelled at her.
She didn't move.
I quickly got up and shook her. "Kara!" I yelled I knew she was afraid of .
"I can't handle blood sorry" she said, she looked like she was about to pass out.
"Okay go back to the car and call the ambulance we are on high way 44" I directed her, Kara was useless whenever she panicked.
"But then we will have to explain why we were here" Kara said panicked.
"We have to do the right thing. Our problems can wait another day" I said.
I was about to turn when I heard footsteps behind me I turned around and saw the guy who I thought was dead on the road was walking around like the living.
"Oh my god, I thought you said he was dead!" Kara panicked more.
"I thought so" I said a little shaky.
"Hello girls, Kara Kayla" the guy nodded to us and then just stood there looking at us.
"How do you know our names" I asked.
"That's because I've been waiting for you for months, waiting for the chance to get you alone" he sneered at me.
"Why?" Kara asked shaking next to me.
"Because you are about to marry into the royal family, my boss has sent me to kill you so that Logan and Blake do not become the next Kings of the vampire world" the stranger replied.
Me and Kara began to run towards the car when he appeared in front of us. I quickly pushed Kara behind me, she was weaker than me. I would have to protect her.
"So sweet you are Kayla to protect Kara like that. But it's useless I have to kill you both. This will be fun and slow" He said darkly.
"You don't have to kill us both, Logan and Blake can only be kings if they both get married. Just kill me" I said with as much strength as I could. I felt Kara pull at my wrist trying to stop me.
"Why would I do that?" he asked me.
"Because you wouldn't want two dangerous vampires after you would you now?" I replied.
"I guess not, but she would tell them anyway, so she has to die" he laughed.
"She won't" I yelled.
"Interesting, even if she didn't I would kill her, but I think this would be more fun if I killed you first and killed her after your husband to be finds your dead body" he said darkly.
"Fine if you want a game of cat and mouse go ahead, but let Kara go now" I yelled.
"Fine she can go" he replied.
I was happy that I bought Kara sometime she might make it back home alive, I was sure that Blake would never let her out of his sight after they hear what happened to me. It was my fault Kara was in this position it was my idea to run so I should face death first, she shouldn't have to pay for my stupidity.
I pushed Kara towards the car while she froze with fear.
"Look Kara, you can do this just drive back home. Don't tell anyone what happened. Just go home. Don't worry about me I'll be fine" I said trying to sooth her anxiety while mine grew hundred times more with each passing second.
"I can't leave you" she said stubbornly.
"You will and you have to. Please go. Don't stay. I want you to be safe just listen to me one last time" I pleaded.
"Are you done! You better be done in the next twenty seconds or I will change my mind" the vampire threatened.
"I'm sorry" Kara began to cry I closed the door. Kara reversed the car and speed off back towards Oakland our town where our home was. I shouldn't have left. I watched my car until I could no longer see it. I turned around to see the vampire eyeing me. I knew I was going to be in for it. I deserved it.
"Here I come" he said.
The next thing I know he grabbed my neck and picked my off the ground I was chocking, I was gasping for air. He threw me against the road head on, my body rolled against the gravel, I could feel my skin peeling off on the road, I felt blood roll down my forehead. My head hurt so much. My vision started to go blurry. It hadn't even been five minutes and I was about to die. But I deserved it.
"Your blood smells so sweet, inviting. I think I'll just suck you dry instead of killing you the human way. And then I'll kill your friend. Hmm how will I kill her? I can't give you the same death sentence that's just not fun. Maybe I'll go for the stabbing style? She didn't smell as sweet as you so her blood would be useless to me" The vampire said with venom as he said human.
"Don't you dare" I said. I didn't give him the satisfaction of me screaming in pain, I bit my lip to stop myself from screaming.
"Logan was right when he called you stubborn. You just don't give up do you? But I think you should since you're about to die" he stated.
He was there yesterday? Watching me. I was being stalked? I watched as he slowly made his way towards me, I laid limp against the side of the road. I couldn't move because the pain was unbearable. I could feel my consciousness slipping and the fear building as the vampire walked towards me.
The vampire knelt down moving my hair away from my neck harshly he bent forwards exposing what looked like fangs, by eyes just wouldn't focus, everything was blurry. I wanted to know If they were fangs or not. God he's a bloody vampire. My mind yelled at me. He knelt lower moving my body closer to his I winced at the pain the movement caused, he didn't slow down. I felt something sharp against my neck I panicked more when I thought it was his fangs, and then all of a sudden the sharp feeling disappeared and was replaced by a surging pain, my body felt like it was on fire. I looked up to see that I was in Logan's arms. How did he get here? I must be dreaming? Maybe I fainted I thought to myself. I looked at Logan, he wasn't looking at me, I followed his gaze. The vampire who attacked me was being attacked my three other vampires. I watched as they tackled him to the ground, by then my eye lids closed over I was in too much pain. I wasn't dreaming. The pain was to real.
"Don't kill him, we need to find out why he did this, and who sent him. Take him back to the mansion dungeon" Logan spoke.
"Kayla wake up" was the last thing I heard before I passed out.
Logan's point of view.
I hadn't seen Kayla since eleven this morning after she cried in English. I knew she was upset about our little argument this morning, so I decided to just give her space for today. I told Blake to apparently Kara was feeling the same. We would do anything for those girls yet they just wanted us to leave and never come back. That wasn't an option for us. I didn't understand why they felt this way, girls at this school just wouldn't stop giving us attention. Yet Kayla and Kara would give nothing. We couldn't leave even if we wanted to. By some sort of twisted faite me and Blake had both imprinted on Kayla and Kara. They were our one and only soul mates. I would never give that up. And once they change into a vampire they will understand. We couldn't let Kayla and Kara have their freedom anymore. We were given news almost three months back that the girls were in danger. Once we heard that, my parents forced Kayla and Kara's parents to let us stay and get them married earlier than planned. Me and Blake were there to protect them. Our families were best friends it just so happened that my parents ended up having two boys while they each had a girl. Me and Blake were about one hundred years old, whenever we found someone to marry either they died or they backed out of the marriage, it went on for decades. Someone didn't want us as Kings. But the second we caught news of the girls being in danger we couldn't sit back this time. It was 2pm when Kara rang me, she was so panicked that I couldn't get a straight sentence out of her. All I could hear was Kayla, danger , help, highway 44. I put the phone down straight and ran out of the class. I quickly rang Blake to tell him what Kara told me. I teleported back to the sparks mansion where I picked up three of our best vampire guards and teleported them back to Oakland to highway 44. I didn't give them time to understand what was happening, but these were my loyal guards. They knew what they were here to do, protect me and my family. I knew exactly where highway 44 was. I had gone hunting there many times to find stray animals wondering around to clench my hunger whenever Kayla ignored Me. Which was a lot.
I didn't want to think why Kayla was doing there so far out of town. I would interrogate her later.
Under five minutes of Kara ringing me. I had bought my guards to highway 44. There I saw a vampire about to bite my Kayla. I teleport myself over to Kayla and ripped her out of the vampires hold. My guards starting attacking him, he was no match for them within seconds he was on the floor.
"Don't kill him, we need to find out why he did this, and who sent him. Take him back to the mansion dungeon" I instructed my guards. One of the guards like me could teleport. I nodded to him and he teleported everyone back to the mansion.
"Kayla wake up" I said her, but just as I said that she lost her consciousness. She was badly hurt, she was bleeding heavily. I stopped breathing her blood was so inviting, I held back the thought of taste. I couldn't and wouldn't hurt Kayla. I'm in control of my thirst I chanted. I had to take Kayla to the hospital. I quickly teleported there. I made up a lie about a car accident, Kayla was quickly rushed into the emergency room. I rang her parents along with Kara's and my family.
Kayla's parents were distort, while Kara was being interrogated by her family and mine as to why they were out there so far from home. I leant they were planning to run away, Kayla had told her about the vampire thing when she was told not to. They were that desperate to be free of us, it saddened me. But I knew she didn't know better, but from now on no matter how much it bugged her that I was around I was staying, even if she cried I wasn't going to give in. I care too much for her for this to happen again. We had to find out why and who planned this attack!
The doctor came out an hour later "Kayla is doing fine, she's stable. You can go see her but don't ask too many questions she's needs rest. She's had a major concussion so she is on permanent bed rest for at least one month that means she's not allowed out of her bed. One knock to her head and she will go into a coma" the doctor stated.
Kayla's mum began to cry, my Mum tried to comfort her. Kayla's father went into the room I followed him in.
"I'm sorry she tried to run away" Richard Kayla's father said.
"I'm sorry to" I said back.
He held onto Kayla's hand, her eyes fluttered open and then they froze on me, I looked back and was about to say something when her eyes closed over again.
"She will do that a lot, she should be back to normal once the anaesthetic wares off" the doctor said by the door.
"Thank you, for what you've done to keep her alive" I said to him.
"It's what I do" he said with a smile and walked off.
Now it was a waiting game, and man Kayla was going to hate what was going to happen next, I just knew it.
