Chapter 8

Adrian's POV (yikes)

Getting pinned down by an extremely hot woman was my usual kind of thing, having that woman wanting to kill me, not so much. This was certainly not the kind of thing I had expected when Jill called me, telling me that there was something seriously wrong with Sydney and that I should follow her and make sure she was okay. I, of course, instantly complied since there seemed to be a damsel in distress and not because Jailbait threatened to splash water on me the next she saw me.

So here I was after "borrowing" Lee's car, I didn't know where I suppose to start looking so after a suggestion from Jill that I drive over to the school and see if I met her on the way. Since the school was on a dead end, I saw her going at a speed that was I am sure against the law. Specially, since it was a 35 mph zone. I made an u-turn and soon I was speeding after her, I didn't catch up to her until I saw that she had parked near the woods. Confused, as to what she was doing there, I got out and checked inside the car, thinking that she had not been feeling too good to drive.

Jill had said she hadn't eaten any breakfast or lunch for that matter, so maybe she was feeling faint from lack of food. But Sydney wasn't inside the car, confused I walked to the edge of the woods, thinking that she wouldn't go far. "Sydney!" I called, no answer. Frustrated, I sighed do I go back and wait till she comes back or do I attempt to find her? Torn between two choices I went for the latter, and that's how I got in this sticky situation.

I felt fear, and I didn't like it, I stared into her dark eyes, gone were the almost golden eyes, instead they were now a pitch-less black, in them an expression I recognized as hunger, and not the usual hunger women looked at me with instead this look was feral, dangerous, animal-like. Oddly, enough I wanted to paint these eyes, no matter how they looked at me. She closed her eyes, and then her eyes snapped open again, and she moved back with a speed that was surprising. Not sure how I was supposed to react, I said the first thing that came to my mind, "Damn, Sage, I had women wanting to take a bite out of me before, but never like this."

She looked at me with an expression I easily recognized as exasperation, "What are you doing here?" she asked, yeah that is the important question, and not why was she about to take a bite out of me. "Jill was worried about you so I was sent to follow you and make sure you were okay, now on to more important questions. Why were you about to take a bite out of me?!" Sydney just stared at me, seeming to be in full control, her eyes were back to their normal color if a bit lighter.

"I am really sorry about that, look it's not easy to say could you just give me some time to tell you?" she sounded sincere so it kind of made me feel guilty about the next thing I said, "No, look if it was another thing, yes, but this is more than the usual kind of thing." She sighed and started to walk back and forth, just when I thought she wasn't going to say anything. She stopped in front of me, and that's when something clicked in place, her scent when I had first met her she smelled dangerous, now she smelled almost normal, almost because she smelled unbelievably good.

Unconsciously, I took a step closer to her, I got lost in her eyes again, until she uncomfortable cleared her throat, shaking me away from my staring. "Uh, well you know how you Abe said I smelled dangerous well, he was right." She sounded flustered, and I was pleased that I wasn't the only one seeming to be affected by the others presence.

"Well, the thing is that I am a..." Silence, "Just spit it out, Sage I am not going to judge you or anything." And it was true, I wasn't how could I when she looked like angel? She looked bewildered, "Why? you don't even know me, you don't know anything. What if I am a monster? Huh? You would judge me then. If I was debating in whether killing you or not." Wow, pretty intense stuff here, something inside of me was telling me to calm her down, that the way her eyes were darkening and her scent becoming irresistible, that I could only take another step closer, was dangerous.

"Because there is just this thing that..." Can't tell her that it attracts me to her, "says you are a good person overall." She narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing me, "Take a picture it lasts longer," I murmured, I guess it wasn't low enough, because she looked like she wanted to blush. "Now tell me what you are," I demanded, man, I wanted a cigarette but I had left my last package in the house. She sighed, and said, "A vampire," I stared at her, sure that she must be joking, I mean she was an alchemist for god's sakes. The type of humans that abhorred our kind and strigoi, but then how can you explain the speed and the strength. From that tackle I was sure I was going to have bruises tomorrow.

"Really? Because you look nothing like a Moroi," I said.

"There are other types of vampire out there," she said, "Look can we have this conversation later because I have to get to the school before the curfew." Yep, there is the alchemist coming out, I thought she was lost. "Oh, of course I wouldn't want you to get in trouble, I guess knowing how you are a vampire is less important than getting to school." She looked back at me, not stopping to answer me, "I am glad you understand, Adrian." She needed to get her priorities straight.

Sorry I know it's short but this chapter was forced as it is, and so I decided to get my creative juices flowing before I posted something more important and longer. Tell me what you thought about this chapter, it depends on your response if I re-write the whole chapter for something better and longer. Be warned it might take me some time.
