Hey guys! I know I've been slacking. I've been really busy with funeral stuff. ;-; It sucks, but I think I'm back on track. Just keep up with these reviews and I have a HUGE twist in this chapter. ;) ENJOY!
When Idou left the room Melody laid there, helpless. "I just want to go home..If I can even call it my home." She said to herself, thinking of the mansion. They were all that she had now and she couldn't even be with them for her final moments. Her eyes shut slowly as she laid there on the bed. Once she heard footsteps outside of the door she knew that something bad was going to happen.
Idou walked in the room and hurried over to the bed to help her up. "Come on, if you want out of here we'll have to run for it. I hope you can hold on tight, because I can run faster than anyone here." He admitted with a slight smirk as he grabbed onto her and put her on his back. "You ready for this?" He asked, and before she could answer they were running at what seemed like the speed of light. This was normal for him, but she wasn't used to it. Her eyes were trying to keep up with their surroundings to see where they were going and who they were passing. It was no use and she finally gave up. Idou kept running until they were a safe distance away. When they were a safe distance away, he stopped and put her down on the ground to rest. "We'll rest here for awhile, but not long." He looked down at her then sat down a few feet from her.
"Who are those people? What do they want with me? Why is this happening? What'd I do wrong?" The questions just kept rolling off her lips then she looked over at him. "Well?" There were even more questions running in her mind as she waited for a response. She looked up at the sky and seen that the clouds were starting to form in front of the sun.
"Those are the people of the covenant. Their like our 'law', if you'd call it that. A human isn't supposed to be living with vampires. Thats why they took you. Because they heard that you were staying with the vampires and that you knew our secret. To them humans are just food, not people.." He paused to look away and played with a string on his pants. He took a deep breath and continued to talk. "You didn't do anything wrong. In my opnion I think that they should be punishing the vampires that took you in. You want to know why? Because its not your choice to make whether you want to be in all this war or whatever you want to call it. Your far too beautiful to be caught up in all this." After saying that he blushed a little and kept his gaze on his shoes.
Melody tried to stand up but was still weak from the events that had happened there. How was she ever going to get over the horrible things that happened? Were they really that horrible? "Oh god! Am I going to turn into a vampire?" She asked, just remembering what had happened when those two men were feeding from her. Ewww, Feeding. It was such a nasty word in her mind. She shook her head to try and get the thought out of her head.
He could tell something was bothering her and just figured that it was the events that happened in the castle. He didn't know what to say to make her feel better, it was like he was drawn to her. There was something about her that he knew that he couldn't just let her die, like the many before her. He had lost count on how many humans had died in that castle. It was like all the other vampires in the covenant were possessed and all they wanted was blood. He knew that was what they needed to survive, but they could get it from all kind of alternatives. "Your not going to turn into a vampire. You have to be close to death to be changed when bitten. We should get going." He stood up and stretched out his legs then grabbed her by her hand and helped her up. "You ready for some more running?" He asked, looking down at her.
"..Yeah." She couldn't figure out why everyone kept staring at her the way they did. Was there really something that attractive that she couldn't see in herself? No that can't be it.. Her lip moved to the side slightly as she thought to herself, then jumped onto Idou's back for him to start running again. Her hair was blowing in the wind of him running. Were they almost back to the mansion? Was Alexander alright? She was so concerned about everyone else that she rarely thought of herself. It was clear to her that she wanted to help people, but being dead wouldn't help anyone.
Idou kept running until they got close to the mansion. He stopped and put her onto her feet, looking at her. "Well, were close enough. All I have to say is that you should move far away from here. Leave everything and be safe." With those words, Idou shook her hand and he was gone in a flash. She didn't even get to say thank you for him saving her.
Melody turned to see the mansion in view. A loud sigh left her lips, she knew what she had to do to stay safe. Would she be able to do it? Her feet began to run before her brain was even registering it. She wouldn't be able to leave them, even if it meant that she would die. She ran and ran and it seemed like the mansion was still just as far away. Finally she got to the road and ran across it to the yard of the mansion. Once she got onto the driveway she seen Alexander run out the front door and towards her. Before she blinked he was right there, holding her tightly. Melody broke down in tears as she felt his arms embracing her tightly. It was almost too tight for her, since she was just a mere human. "I thought I'd never see you again. It was so horrible there." She said, the tears still streaming down her face.
"You..Have..To..Leave.." He managed to push past his clenched teeth. That was all he could say in this very moment. She was crying on his chest as he held her in his arms. He knew this was the best thing for her. He wanted her to be safe and if that meant leaving, then she would have to leave him. "I'-I'm sorry." He was studdering now, trying to make himself seem strong while he held her crying self.
"I-I ca-can't..I can't leave y-you." She was still crying, trying to push the words out as she felt his grip loosen. He snapped his fingers and she quickly opened her eyes. When she sat up quickly to see that she was in her bedroom and her face was wet from crying, her heart sank. I-It was a d-dream..? She asked herself as she looked around her room. Everything seemed to be back to normal. Was it all just a dream? She felt like she was going crazy, as she jumped out of her bed and ran down the stairs. She found her mom and her step dad arguing in the kitchen. She ran into the kitchen and hugged her mother as tightly as she ever had in her whole life. "Mom!" Her voice was even showing how much she was glad to see her mother alive. "I love you mom. I'll never dis obey you. Please quit arguing." She said, hugging her mom even tighter.
Her mom looked down at her and rubbed her hair gently. "We're going to be okay honey. I love you, but you have to get ready for school." She smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head. "Now, go get ready. I'll give you a ride." She pushed her slightly to help her get going.
Melody looked back at her and smiled, walking back up the stairs to take a shower. After she was out of the shower and ready for school she jumped in the car with her mother and turned on some music. She was dancing around in her seat and holding her back pack in her lap. "We should go see a movie this weekend. Does that sound good?" She asked her mother, looking over to her mom in the driver seat. When they pulled up to the school Melody leaned over to hug and kiss her mom. "I love you...Mom" She said slowly and smiled while she got out to go into the school.
"I love you too Melody. Have a good day." She said, pulling away in the car.
Melody stood there and watched her mother pull the car from the curb and drive down the road. She was slightly relieved then turned to go into the school. Her best friend came up behind her and grabbed her sides, trying to scare her. "Oh my god! You scared me!"
"Mission accomplished." She smirked and hugged her. "So how was your summer? Do anything-" Before she could finish Melody's attention was clearly somewhere else.
Melody's gaze was set on a new boy in school. "My summer was good. I'll be right back." It was like she wasn't even listening as she ran into the school and grabbed the boy by his arm. "Alexander?" She asked, waiting for the boy to turn around.
He turned and looked at her with a weird look on his face. Once he seen her, he tried to pull from her grip but it was no use now. He knew this was a bad idea.
