Chapter Six
Lucas's POV
Matt stormed into our dorm, "what's wrong?" i asked. "Rukas giving us the silent treatment" he replied. I laughed. "I hate it when she does that" he said quietly. I felt sad , I just found her now she doesn't want to look or talk to me, great way to start! I thought. I decided I wouldn't tell him about hearing Kalebs voice, we were safe for now.
'Knock knock" Kerry walked into our room. "What are you doing here?" Matt and I asked at the same time. "I'm giving Ruka some space, which you two boys aren't giving her. So no wonder she's giving all of us the silent treatment" she replied.
Matt got up, "You don't know her like I do. She's different to what she was twenty years ago. The first second she thinks she's free she'll make a run for the lake!" he said a little angrily.
We didn't want Ruka going near the lake, it was the only area that wasn't protected well enough, it was a safety route just in case the school caught on fire, vampire's burn easily. Kaleb would have no trouble, walking through the forest towards the lake; he wouldn't be able to put a foot onto the schools land as he was a blood lusting monster! But he could call out to her and make her follow him towards the forest where he could get her.
"Fine, I didn't mean to leave just that she looked at me with hate and anger I couldn't handle it, I thought she might just want to be alone in the room. That's why I left" Kerry said a bit sad. "I'm sorry" Lucas apologised "it's okay, you know her better than I do, I just hope she'll want to know me, she barely talks to me. I've missed her" Kerry broke off. "Me to" I added. We all sat there quietly. Matts head quickly went up, "Rukas emotional states changed all of a sudden, she's not angry she's happy?" Matt's special gift is the ability to sense people's emotional state. I looked out the window "dam" I yelled. "She's running towards the lake" I continued I got up but was stopped "You already scared her today let me go, she won't care if her brother yells at her" Matt said. Matt and Kerry left the room, I watched as Matt ran towards her, she looked back and started running harder. Matt was faster though and caught her. I hated myself for scaring Ruka.
I remember when I first meet Ruka and Matt it was about 7 or 8 years ago. I was running through the forest in Oakland I didn't know why, I just started running. I saw a young girl walking on the side of the road, she reminded me of Ruka her features, her light brown eyes and her thick black hair were all the same to the young Ruka I had grown up with. I heard a boy yelling after her "Ruka! Ruka wait!" my heart skipped a beat, my Ruka was back, even in her next life she was called Ruka. Ruka didn't hear the boys yell she was oblivious. All of a sudden a car stopped on her side of the road, a man got out and started to pull her towards the car, she tried to struggle but she was too weak to get out of his grasp. I was about to get out there and kill the bastard, but the boy who was yelling out to Ruka hit the man on the head with a rock from the side of the road, he fell face flat on the ground. Ruka hurried towards the boy and fainted in his arms. I was too focused on Ruka that I didn't see the man get up, neither did the boy. The man pulled out a knife, and made a stab towards Ruka, the boy spun around and was stabbed twice one I heard punctured his lung and the other on his lower throat, the man went for a third stab but I ran and stopped the man. My anger had sky rocketed, I threw the man towards the nearest tree, and he fell unconscious. I ran towards the boy, I owed him my life for saving Ruka. I bent down he opened his eyes "Help my sister" I looked at Ruka she was fine just unconscious. "What is your name" I asked. "Ma.. Matthew" he replied gasping for air. I could hear is heart beat slowing down, I made a quick decision. "Do you want to live Matthew?" I asked seriously. He couldn't talk anymore and nodded. I put my mouth to his neck, drew out my fangs and punctured his skin, drinking in his honey flavoured blood dry. I exchanged his blood for mine. After I was done, I checked on Ruka she was still unconscious, lucky for me I thought. I found Matthews cell phone and called for the police. I heard them approaching I quickly told Matthew I would be back and not to tell anyone about me. The police came I feel back into the forest they arrested the man, and took Ruka and Matthew to the hospital. Matthew was now a vampire, I just hope he didn't hate me for changing him. The change takes about a day, no one would know he was changing; he would be unconscious for a day. He'd start feeling like a vampire in the next 72 hours after awakening. I tracked down Matt and Rukas home. They were back at home a day later. I waited a couple of days, Matt finally walked outside to a park, he was alone. I went up to him and explained what was happening to him. He took the news rather well for an eleven year old, which pleased me. I told him about Ruka, and how sooner or later she would be in danger from Kaleb. He understood. I told him there's a place where you can control the bloodlust, which happened to be Westport academy. He didn't want to go, he said he was fine, but in the last two years he said he couldn't handle it and so joined the boarding school. I joined to, to give him company. I kept my distance from Ruka I didn't want to draw attention to Ruka just in case Kaleb was watching me. Matt asked me to promise him to protect and keep Ruka safe. I promised.
