Chapter 3 Secrets
"We couldn't have take taking a cob or something?" Sadie whined. "Its cold and I don't want the wind to ruin my hair." Just as she said it another big gust of wind blew her hair making it go in her eyes, she brushed it out of her face giving me an annoyed expression.
"It's a pretty nice night and your always cold." I defended trying not to laugh as she pulled more of her hair out of her mouth.
" Where is this club we are going to anyway?" I asked.
"It's a new one I found out about from one of my friends, it should be coming up pretty soon."
I hoped she knew where she was going because we were traveling away from more of where the crowds were and I still felt like I was being watched. Oh calm down LunaI told myself everything's fine, no one is watching you and Sadie is right here. We were now walking down this alleyway making our way to the backs of some old buildings when Sadie stopped.
"I think the address is wrong or something, this doesn't look or smell right".
Smell? What was she talking about I didn't smell anything, she always had a good nose.
" Yeah I think maybe we should go back and just go someplace we already have been to like…um…Jinx, that place is always fun. Then you can call your friend and tell her she gave you the wrong address." I was beginning to ramble on about why we should leave, but Sadie wasn't listening to me, she was looking in-between another alley straight in front of us. It was really dark so I didn't see anything there but that didn't help, it just made me want to leave this place even more. I started getting that feeling again in the pit of my stomach, something wasn't right.
"Sadie I think we should leave…now".
"Yeah, I think your right." Her eyes didn't leave the alley when she spoke to me.
"Did you see something?" the feeling was getting worse.
" Heard something actually", she said still looking at the alley. Oh God! I grabbed her arm and started to pull her the way we came in.
"Lets go"
I heard a sound then, the sound I think she had been talking about, it came from between the alley. It was footsteps and they were headed this way. I turned back around to see, I hated scary these but once I started seeing them I just couldn't look away, I was frozen. Sadie grabbed my hand a pushed me behind her. A chuckle rang from inside the dark alley and a man stepped out. This was a guy that you didn't see anyway. He looked like he was in the Mafia or something. He was about 6'4 and looked like he could eat the whole Cheaper by the Dozen Families. Oh God, I thought to myself again. His eyes were a crimson red and he was very pale, and for some reason looking at him reminded me of Sadie. His looks were all to similar, defined features, pale skin. Something wasn't right and I knew that even without my gut feeling
" What a beautiful night from a stroll isn't it?" the man said. Yes and I think we are just going to stroll our way out of here I thought to myself.
" It seems like you made a wrong turn, and trust me you most certainly did."
" Oh, but excuse my rudeness, my name is Hector". He started to move closer and for the first time I looked around Sadie's crouched down form and actually saw that he upper lip was raise over her…FANGS! What the hell?! I backed away from her and looked back at the man with a horrified look. He was inching closer and was smiling, only to reveal his own set of fangs. Oh my god, this was a dream, a really bad dream. I closed my eyes together tightly then pinched myself. However, when I opened them back up nothing had changed. The man was now crouching down looking like he was going to attack something or worse someone. Sadie let out a vicious snarl something that sounded like it came from an animal. That made him smile and the moved his attention to me.
"You never knew you were best friends with a vampire?" He laughed; it was a frightening laugh that sent chills down my spine. I could feel the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. What's happening, I don't know what's happening, I stayed frozen unable to look away from his gaze.
" Sadie you know I don't need to harm you, all I need is your little friend and I'm off, never to be seen by you again." He stood up from his position never looking away from me but Sadie still stayed in hers.
"Hell no, you want her you got to get passed me?"
He wanted me? What the hell did I ever do, I paid all my bills…um…nope couldn't think of anything bad I had done at this moment."
"Too bad, I didn't want to get my suit all bloody, but I'm going to have to." he said with a smile then launched himself at Sadie. They both slammed into a nearby brick wall making some of the come loose and fall. They were moving way to fast for me to see what was happening. I could make out hand and feet at times but nothing really more then that. I watched in horror as the man got a hold of Sadie and threw her across the alley that we were in. He then turned his on me, with his fast speed he ran over to me and grabbed me by the neck lifting me off the ground.
"Time to
go baby", he said looking up and me. I was grabbing at his hand
trying to release some pressure off my neck when I slammed into the
ground and hit my head on the concrete. I noticed that Sadie was now
on top on him ramming a stake through his heart. She got up and
looked down at his body and looked back over to me. I don't even
know what kind of look I had on my face, probably a cross between
fear, shook, pain, and anger, if that was even possible. I could feel
the throbbing in my head now and reached up to touch it. Damn I was
bleeding; I WAS BLEEDING AND WAS BY A VAMPIRE! Sadie moved closer to
me but I held up my hand.
" Stop… don't…don't come
closer, I'm bleeding and I would really not like to become your
snack."
She flinched at my words but recomposed her face. " I'm not going to eat you, and it wouldn't matter, I don't eat junk food." She said
I looked at her with a shocked expression but smiled a bit when I saw that she was smiling at me.
"Here just let me see, I am under control, I have been around you forever and never even once bit you so don't worry."
I guess she was right. I tried to sit up but things started to spin.
"Whoa hold on", she said grabbing my arm to lean me up against a wall.
"You might need a few stitches but we need to go someplace safe, and don't ask questions."
Yeah right, like I was not going to ask questions! She was a freaking vampire, and I definitely had questions about why Mr. Scary And Now Dead wanted me? I guess for now I will have to look at the good in this, no more clubbing right?
