Ch.11 Diffculties

I couldn't believe my eyes. I wanted to hug him and kiss him and tell him how sorry I was, but I also felt afraid of him. He turned slightly as if he was about to walk away. "Wait," I said, grabbing his surprisingly warm hand. His eyes went back to me, though he said nothing. "Don't leave me, please," I said. He looked frustrated and angry with my words. He looked away, eyeing something. "Sonic, please say something, anything," I said, pleading.

"What is there to say," he said, his voice sounded the same, but there was a dark edge to it.

"Say that I'm an idiot. Say that you love me. Say that you miss me. Something."

"I can tell you to stay away from me."

"What? Why?"

"You're the vampire expert, you should know."

"Blood? Is that what you need?"

"That's why you need to keep your distance."

"You told me that last time, but look at what happened."

"Amy, I could-"

"You won't hurt me." He looked at me.

"How do you know that? I could lose myself at any given time."

"You won't hurt me, Sonic. You love me and I love you. Love should be strong enough to pull us through." I pulled him into an alley where no one could see us. I picked up a sharp rock from off the ground. "Amy, don't," he said.

"I know what I'm doing Sonic, just trust me," I said, cutting my hand. A few drops of blood spilled out. Sonic looked away. I held my hand up to his mouth, but he backed away.

"I'm not going to feed off you Amy," he said.

"We're in this together and you need blood to keep you strong. Animal blood might keep you feed, but you need human blood too."

"Stop watching that stupid vampire stuff. It's not the whole truth."

"But it gives me a little information about how to take care of you. Now, please drink."

"No, Amy."

"Why not?"

"Because I could drain your body of blood and I don't want to lose you again."

"You won't, I promise." He looked at me and then at my bloody hand. I lifted my hand to his lips. I felt his lips against my hand and the blood being pulled out, but softly, not painfully like Sophia had done it. He pulled away from my hand after a few seconds. "You need more than that," I said. He shook his head. I noticed his eyes were back to their light green color.

"Small doses will keep me strong enough," he replied.

"Okay," I said. I went into his arms, hugging him. He seemed surprised at first, but soon loosened up and wound his arms around me too.

"I've really missed you Sonic. A month without you was too much," I told him.

"It was a month? Felt like a year." I smiled a little.

"An eternity. Hey, how did you become this?"

"There are ways."

"Like?"

"Adrian helped me out, that's all I'm gonna say."

"Oh. You don't want me to try and do the same right?"

"The kind of vampires you know about are Rosa and Adrian. I'm a rare kind."

"What does that mean?"

"I can age. I can reproduce. I still have all my human qualities. I'm basically a human, but I crave blood instead of food."

"Oh, well that's different."

"The vampire expert feeling jealous?"

"No not at all."

"Yea right."

"I am right."

"Right."

"What?"

"Confused?"

"Um yea."

"Good than." I smiled and pulled away a little so that I could look at him. He was smiling. I leaned up and kissed him. My hands went up to his neck, locking themselves around it. His hands wounded around my waist, pulling me closer. His lips molded mine and I found how much I missed the joy I felt in my heart when he kissed me. I backed him up against the wall, kissing him more hungrily. I felt his muscles tense up. I didn't stop. I wanted him more than anything. His arms unwound themselves around my waist. He pushed my away by my shoulders gently. He didn't push me away away, but he got me to stop kissing him. I looked at his eyes to see them at my neck. I then understood. He didn't want to get to close. "Sorry," I murmured. His eyes met mine. "Its fine, I'll get over it," he said. I looked down at my hand that was still bleeding. I put it back to his lips. He pushed my hand down.

"No Amy," he said.

"You're still weak."

"I'll hunt later."

"Please."

"No, I'm not going to take blood from you."

"But-"

"We should get you home, c'mon," he said, grabbing my hand and leading me out the alley. We walked down the dark streets in silence. He was still being difficult, but that's what made him my Sonic. Couples have fights. They always do and they always get back together. Not a lot though, but Sonic was my soul mate, I couldn't let him go. Not again.

We stopped at my front door. I stood in front of him. "Are you going to be at school tomorrow," I asked. He shrugged.

"Depends."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's just say that Alexander and Sophia weren't our only enemies."

"So there are more people who want to kill us?"

"You want to see the list?"

"That many?"

"Yea, but they won't get near you. I promise."

"What about you? I need you to be safe too."

"I'll be fine Amy."

"You promise?"

"What am I promising?"

"That you won't leave me. That you'll come back every night okay. That you won't get yourself killed. That you'll always love me."

"Alright, I promise."

"Thanks," I said hugging him. He wrapped his arms around me more quickly this time. Maybe getting used to being in control of himself. He pulled away and kissed my forehead quickly before speeding away. I turned around and opened my front door. My mom and dad weren't home, as usual. I dragged myself upstairs and into my room. I laid down on my bed. "Tired already," I heard Sonic ask. I sat up quickly and looked at him. He was leaning against the wall opposite from my bed with his arms crossed, a grin across his face. I smiled. "How did you get in here," I asked.

"The window."

"My window is locked."

"Not anymore it's not."

"I'm not even going to ask."

"Good, didn't want to confuse you with my big word vocabulary."

"What big word vocabulary? You just confuse me period."

"Maybe it's because you're so cute when you're confused." I blushed. He looked over at my bulletin board and his grin dropped. I looked over at the board too and I saw what he was looking at. I went up to the board and took the picture down. "When did you draw that," he asked.

"A while ago."

"When?"

"A few months ago."

"Would you like to elaborate on that?"

"I drew it the day I met you. When I got home, all these features of you just flooded into my mind and I just had to draw it."

"This was a bad idea," he said walking to the window. I ran after him.

"Sonic, stop," I said, grabbing his arm.

"Let go."

"No, it's a picture. What's the problem?"

"Nothing you need to worry about."

"Well, I am worried about it so it is something."

"Why does something always have to be wrong? Can't I do anything without you finding out?"

"Sonic, we're in this together whether you like this or not, what choice do I have to not find out what's going on? I almost let you kill yourself without even having a clue. I'm not going to make the same mistake again." He looked at me.

"So that's what you're afraid of. Losing me," he said softly.

"How is that so hard to believe? I thought I showed you how much I cared about you, but I guess I didn't prove it enough." I let go of his arm and backed up. He walked up to me, took my face in his hands and kissed me softly. I wished that we could have no difficulties, but all couples do. That's just what makes them stronger.

I'm kind of disappointed in this chap becuz i wanted to make it differently but it came out so wrong. Anyway, PLEASE REVIEW! Nd HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!
