Ok so here is Chapter 7! It switches back and forth between Everly and Drayton's point of views. I would also like to let yall know that this is a work in progress. So I do not have everything planned out on where I am going with this. So if you think of something you would not mind being put in the story then let me know. I am open to ideas, and even if you do not like it reviews are nice. Let me know what you think whether it is nice or not. Constructive criticism is helpful and makes for a better story in the future. Thanks and Enjoy!
Everly POV
I could not believe it. I could not even speak. If he hated me so much than why did he help me? It made no sense at all. What did I do to him to make him hate me so much? I wanted to say something but what? I did not even get the chance to speak out. Apparently Leila got tired of waiting on me cause she snapped right back and seemed more than happy to do so. I got the feeling that her and Drayton did not get along.
"It is not up to only you," she glared at him, "Kayd and I both have a say in this."
"No I am the one who brought her here. I have the only say here," Drayton looked to his brother to see if he had his side. What ever he saw did not make him happy, "You agree with her don't you?"
Kayd sighed rubbing his hand through his hair, "Look, I really do not want to get into this but if I have to than my opinion is that she at least stay for a couple more days until everything calms down. You do not know what she has been through. And if you do not like her than why did you help her?" He looked to Leila and added, "Plus, you are not the one that has to deal with her. So, Yeah I am on her side." Leila liked his response and smiled at him before turning back to Drayton to quickly glare again just waiting for his argument.
"I should have known, and yes I do have to deal with Leila. I do not care what she has been through, and you know the only reason you want her to stay Leila is to spite me. I only helped her because I owed her for giving me blood. She leaves here now on her own free will or she leaves by force." I could not help but notice the pained expression that crossed his face and how his body tensed up. I looked to Leila and she looked like she was ready to strike him, but Kayd did not seem to care giving me the impression that this probably happened a lot.
I quickly stepped between them. I do not know why I did it, cause as soon as I did it brought Drayton's gaze back to me. It should have scared me but instead I just got really mad. "That makes no sense. I told you before I left the park that you did not owe me anything. That not killing me when I gave you my blood was enough. So why did you help me?" With out even realizing it I had stepped towards him which seemed to shock him a little. He must not be use to people standing up to him.
He quickly regained his composure and was about to answer but I did not allow him to even try. "You know what I don't care anymore. I don't care what you think or how you feel about any of this shit. All I know is that for two years my life has seemed perfect and in one day. The one day that is suppose to be happy for me. On my birthday everything fell apart. I started seeing things, my car window shattered for no apparent reason, my scar started acting up, I passed out, I fought a werewolf, saved a vampire, walked in on my boyfriend and supposed best friend having sex, fought with them, got attacked by a werewolf, and then saved by a vampire. Then I wake up three days later and find myself to trusting and calm in a house of vampires, I am told that I am welcome here, I am told that I am not just human. Mynx! What the hell is a Mynx? That word has done its own fare share of damage. Then I am told that I have to leave by the same vampire that saved me that now hates me for no reason what so ever. If you want me gone than fine I am gone!"
I had not even realized that during my rant that I had walked right up to Drayton and was practically yelling in his face, which had the biggest shocked expression I had ever seen. I had the urge to knock the shit out of him, but figured it would not be a smart move. I turned to Leila, who was staring at me in shock, and Kayd, who smiled as he told me, "I like you." I did not know how to react. I expected them to be mad at me as well. I expected to be dead any second. I shook my head trying to regain my composure and calm down before talking to Leila, "Thank you so much for what you have done for me, but I am not wanted here. Once I get home I will wash your clothes and bring them back to you. I will leave now."
I turned back to Drayton who was still speechless. Apparently he has never had anyone talk to him that way. I gave him one last glare before walking past him and heading to the door. I heard some mumbling and a "whatever" from Drayton. I was reaching for the door handle when Leila appeared before me. Apparently super speed was not a myth. She had a big grin on her face, "You can stay!" I just frowned at her and tried to go around her to get the door, but she would not let me. "Did you not here me? You can stay!"
"I am sorry Leila but…." I just could not finish the sentence. I knew that I would end up staying because I could not go home. Something in me just screamed "do not go home." This something apparently did not know what it was doing because it was saying nothing about staying in a house of vampires. "Fine," I thought she was going to burst from excitement. Her mood sure does switch fast. "Great! Now I know you must be starving so I will take you to the kitchen." I had no choice as my stomach responded for me and she grabbed my hand and led me away.
Drayton POV
I could not believe it. Was this girl just stupid or something? She had no fear. I think that and the electricity shooting through me are the only things that kept me from killing her. As she walked past me Leila walked up to me and told me, "She is staying for at least a few days whether you like it or not." I did not care anymore. I just glared at her and said the only thing I could think of, "Whatever."
Leila ran past me to stop her. Her? I could not keep calling her that I needed to at least know her name. I looked to Kayd as he walked up to me. "You know I really like her. She could do you some good. I am so going to enjoy having Everly here and watching you two argue." He had the biggest grin on his face.
"Everly?" so that was her name. I had not meant to say it out loud, but Kayd quickly jumped to the bait.
"Um, yeah her name is Everly. You can not tell me you did not know her name. You went through all this stuff with her and you never even found out her name." He laughed and slapped my shoulder as he walked by me and out of the room.
My mind was swimming in confusion. She really is part Mynx, but how is that possible? How could she not know she was Mynx? How come I have to force myself to hate her? And the biggest question of all. How come anytime I threatened to do harm to her, whether I think it or say it, does that damn electricity shoot through me causing almost the most unbearable pain I have ever felt? None of this made sense to me, and all of it was causing a head ache.
I decided rest would be the best thing for me at the time. Then I would head to the library and try and get some of these questions answered. I headed up stairs and down the hall way to my room. This happened to be only a few doors down from Everly's room. As I reached for my door I could not help but look down towards her room. She was causing too much trouble for me. I may not be able to do harm to her or threaten her but just maybe I could find a way to scare her enough so that she will leave on her own. I did not know how I was going to pull it off, but I would find a way.
I walked into my room and threw myself down on my bed to try and get a little bit of rest.
Everly POV
I did not realize how hungry I was. I should have known I was going to scarf down the food seeing as how I had not eaten in three days. Leila just sat there laughing and telling me to slow down so that I could at least taste the food, and that my food was not going to suddenly run away from me. I would just roll my eyes and keep eating.
After a while I sat back in my chair and rested my hand on my stomach. I had eaten too much and was feeling miserable. Leila did not help any she just kept smiling and saying, "I told you so." This only earned her glares as I got up off the chair and headed for the stairs. I had to stop as Kayd appeared before me.
"Where do you think you are going?" he had that same big, cheesy grin on his face. How can someone be so happy all the time?
"I am going up to my room to lie down. I over ate and now I feel miserable. Why?"
He started laughing, "You just slept for three days and you are going to go rest some more? Great now we have two lazy people in the house." By now Leila had walked up beside me, and was glaring at him.
"You better be talking about Drayton."
"Well of course! You, my dear are far from lazy. I would not even dream of ever calling you that." He smiled at her and I had to stop myself from laughing as he tried faking a hurt expression when all he got in response was Leila turning around to walk back into the kitchen mumbling about him being a suck up.
He looked back at me with a big grin on his face, "Well back to that question of yours. I was wondering because I figured that if you were going to be staying here a few days then you would need a tour of the place."
I groaned thinking of all the walking. I was far from being a lazy person, but at the moment I was miserable. I smiled at him, "I am sorry. Maybe after I digest some of this food I will feel better. Once that happens I will come find you and then you can show me around. Ok?"
I did not even wait for his response. I walked past him, up the stairs, and started for my door. I got to my door and was reaching for the handle when I heard a door open up behind me. I turned around to see that Drayton had walked out of a room just a few doors down and had turned to look at me. I shot him a go to hell look before quickly going into my room and shutting the door behind me.
I went and laid down on my bed sighing to myself as I tried to push all thoughts of Drayton out of my head. I was not having any success. I was so mad at him, but yet there was something about him I did not yet understand. It was so frustrating! Even after falling into a light uneasy sleep I still could not get him out of my mind. I do not know why I thought that sleep would keep thoughts of him away. After all the first time that I met him was in my dreams.
