I regain my consciousness. I opened my eyes and it was dark out and inside. I was going to get up but I couldn't. I couldn't even lift my arm. I couldn't even remember the last time i was in pain like this or the last time i felt this weak. All I could do was look around the room and I noticed a cracking the wall. Then I had like a flashback when I heard a big bang around the time everything went black then I thought. Carlie. I tried to get up but it was no use I was too weak.
"You are really stupid, you know that right?" I heard a dull yet beautiful voice questioned. I managed to get my head to look back and Carlie was there. Sitting on the stairs facing in my direction. She looked like her old self again but with this sad disappointed look on her face.
"Someone looks better" I said. Carlie took a seat next to me.
"Seth, I could of killed you"
"But you didn't"
"Judging by the fact that you can't feel your arm or your body. Means I nearly did"
"Hey I'm still kicking and my heart still pumping. Like I said i trusted and i had faith in you that you would stop and you did. I was right" I told her and she give me a look then disappeared. I heard the sink water running then stop. Carlie walked in with a cup of water. And a wet paper towel. She lifted my head gently and give me some water. I drank all of it and Carlie took my hand started to clean the blood off my wrist.
"You see that if I would bitten into that vein right there" she said lifting my arm pointing to the vein.
"You Would Be Dead. Your pretty stupid. Don't ever trust me like that again. You can't trust vampires. Trust me" she said and I smiled.
"But I did and your better, I'm alive-" she cut me off.
"Yeah. Barely" she whispered sadly.
"But I am. And that's all that matters" I said. She looked at me and I looked into her eyes. Carlie's scleras weren't bloody red anymore.
"Your eyes. There not red anymore" I told her. She blinked and her irises were still black but as I was looking at them. They were getting lighter into a brown color.
"Wow that's so cool"
"What?"
"There changing colors" I said and she closed her eyes.
"Oh that's feels weird" she said and rubbed her eyes. She opened her eyes and they were dark red.
"Holy crap"
"What?
"Your eyes are red" I said. Carlie looked at her eyes in the reflection of the big window.
"You see, what you do"
"What?"
"I don't know I just feel weird" she said then she appeared sitting next to me and then she stood up and paced a bit.
"This is not good"
"What?
"I didn't mean to speed over here.
My eyes are freaking red. I can feel body building up strength. Seth you have no idea what we just did right now. And you wanna know the worst part I'm still hungry" she said. I managed to lift my arm with the wrist that she didn't bit into and offered it and smiled. She just looked with a serious face.
"That's not funny" she told me and I chuckled a bit. She walked over to me and she put her hand on my heart. For reason it made me nervous. I couldn't feel my own body but I felt her cold hand on her over my heart. Then she lift up my eye lid and looked at it. She put both hands on the sides of my head. Examining me like a doctor.
"How do you feel?"
"Oh you know. I've been better"
"Yeah cause you look terrible" she joked and I smiled.
"Thank you"
"No, thank you... You know for being a dumb ass"
"I told you. I would keep you alive no matter what"
"I appreciate what you did. Thank you Seth. You should eat something"
"Yeah I'm starving"
"What do you wanna eat?"
"I don't know. You said you were still hungry"
"Yeah but for you"
"Well we can order some food or buy some food to make"
"You'll only make it worst because I stomach human food"
"Just try"
"I can't cook-"
"Well either can I so takeout. What do you want?"
"No I mean I don't like to. I'm afraid of fire. You know fire kills vampires. If even my finger tips, slip to close to the fire my hand, arm, body will catch on fire in an instant. It's like my body is soaked in gasoline. that's how quickly I'll burn if i get to close"
"Fact of the day"
"I'll go buy sugary stuff for you to eat. Get your blood pressure going again"
"Okay" I said. Getting a bit sleep again. Carlie went to her room then came back down with a one of her slim winter coat and her dark black over the eyes sunglasses. She turned on the tv and she looked over to me.
"Don't fall asleep. You may not wake up" she told me. I smiled and chuckled at bit.
"Why are you laughing? I'm being serious" she said so then I got serious.
She walked away and I heard the door closed and a car start. I heard the car tires squeal and then i just heard the loud sound of the car driving away.
Jacob POV :
Once again there was a vampire in town. For some reason a lot of them have been coming here. The odd thing that some of them weren't even feeding on people. They would enter the towns through the night, Collin joked around saying that they were probably looking for the right person to feed on. A thought crossed through Sam's head thinking about maybe they were looking for something because we had like 4 vampires with dark black cloaks with hoods come here really acting like they were searching for something. There was no days off when it came to the vampire in the black cloaks. Sam made clear ordered that if one of us were to come across one to let everyone else know. Because these vampire more powerful. They were faster, stronger more skilled at fighting us off then any other vampire that has ever crossed these lands. That's why when we saw a black cloaks the whole pack had to phase just so we can kill it. Seth seemed more interested in killing the vampires than we all were. Seth was the fastest out of all of us so he was the only one that could keep up with them he had killed 3 out of the 4. Me killing the 1 left.
I was riding my motorcycle through town. When I noticed a bright red car. It was a BMW. The fanciest car in town. Carlie's car. I followed it as it stopped at a grocery store. I watched her get out of the car. And the wind blew through her long beautiful bronze hair. I swear I felt like I was in a movie and when character sees that beautiful girl then everything just moves into slow motion. She was wearing black tights with a slim fitted tan winter coat with Uggs boots to match and she was wear those dark black over the eyes sunglasses again. I felt myself smile just by seeing her. She walked into the store. I turned off my bike and quickly followed her in. I grabbed a basket and put a cereal box in there so she won't think I was following her. Even though I was. I found her at the beverage aisle and I creeped up behind her.
"Your eyes still not feeling better" I said right in her ear. I scared her and she dropped what was in her hand and it spilled to all over the floor. She pushed me away.
"Don't ever sneak up on me like that. Ever again" she said a bit angry. She looked at spilled liquid and gently pushed her to walk.
"Just walk away" I said and she did. She walked and like a little puppy, I followed right behind her.
"So what are you doing?" I asked.
"Oh, you know just looking for a big monkey in a tuxedo" she said sarcastically. I admit it was a dumb question because what else can you do at a grocery store.
"Why are you so mean?" I asked. She looked at me than turned into an aisle of junk food.
"I'm not mean just don't ask a stupid question if you don't want a stupid answer" she said looking at the stuff in the aisle. She picked up some Oreos.
"You think Seth would like these?" She asked me.
"Well he's not really a sweet tooth but he loves the double stuffed" I answered and she picked up the double stuffed Oreos and put it in her basket and walked and picked up some Chips Ahoy and put those in her basket and then picked up the peanut butter kind.
"What about these?" She showed me them and asked me.
"No, he hates peanut butter stuff if it's not actual peanut butter" I answered and she put it back.
"So Seth is with you right now?" I asked.
"Yeah, why?" She questioned.
"No, its just I called him and he didn't answer" I lied. I couldn't believe Seth went to go see Carlie and didn't tell me.
"Yeah. Well he was tired i guess from work and he is sleeping in my house"
"He's asleep at your house?"
"Yeah that's what I just said" she said rude. Seth is a sleeping at her house. I don't know why but this was making me mad. Like comfortable can they be with each other, to let each other basically sleep over. Carlie was looking through the aisle and she would pick something up. Look at the nutrition facts or the ingredients then put it back while I just followed behind her. It's crazy just how much I just want be around her. Following her like this just makes me feel good. It's hard to explain because I've never felt anything like this before.
"It's crazy how something so small can contain so much sugar" she told me. I didn't want to be the creep guy following her i mean we didnt know each other well and from what i do know about her. She would call me out on it so I grabbed a couple of stuff myself. I was reaching for a 2 liter Coca-Cola and when I feel a hand hit the back of my head. It didn't hurt but she hit me.
"Ow" I said simply.
"What are you doing?" She asked me.
"Picking berries" I said being a bit rude and sarcastic the way she was before when I asked her what she was doing.
"You actually drink that stuff?"
"Yeah"
"Do you have any idea what that stuff does to your body?" She asked me. Maybe things weren't as bad as I thought they were if she was concerned about my body. Maybe arguing was just 'our thing' you know but at least I know things would never be boring between us but that I could ever get bored of her.
"No, but I'm pretty sure that your gonna tell me"
"Pour that over some rust and you'll see" she said. I looked at my favorite drink then looked at her.
"So I can't get it?" I questioned. Carlie looked at me and our eyes met well think she that did because she was still wearing her glasses so I couldn't she her eyes because the lens were so black but she looked away from me. Like this shy little girl.
"Do as you please. Have a nice night Jacob" she told me and walked away.
Once again she had walked away from and disappeared as I turned the same corner after she it was like I still felt her here so I looked for her. and officially found her. She walked through an aisle and I followed her and I looked I just always her body would move when she I was just lost in her body, she was just so perfect. She turned to look at me and my eyes quickly look up at her face.
"Are you following me?" She asked.
"No" I lied.
"So what are you doing in this aisle?"
"Because I need something from here" I answered and she crossed her arms at me.
"You do? Fine by all means" she said. I looked around the aisle as I saw her smile. and I was surrounded by all these girl stuff. Like pads and tampons stuff like that. Damn she was still looking at me so I tried to play it off like I really did need something from this I am.
"Soo.. Is it a heavy flow?" She joked.
"It's for my sister" I lied.
"For your sister?" She questioned.
"Yeah" I answered.
"So you came to the store to buy-"
"Yeah" I cut her off.
"Okay" she said and turned around and was going to walk away.
"Hey, your a girl?" She turned around and looked at me
"Good, I'm glad you picked up on that"
"Which one do you use?" I asked her and walked towards me.
"Well that depends"
"On what?"
"If I wanna wear pad or a tampon"
I don't know how long we were looking at all these pads and tampons but it was a while. And I could swear Carlie was just as clueless as I was. I found that strange, what girl doesn't know this.
"So do you feel it when it's in there or what?" I asked as looked at a tampon box.
"It probably depends on the size" Carlie said again as if she was unsure.
"There are sizes?" I questioned shocked. Carlie opened the box and showed them to me.
"Yeah you have light, regular, super, and super plus"
"How can you girls even sit down with this just stuck just up in there?"
"Most of them use pads"
"So does being on your period really does hurt with the cramps and all that. I mean it can't be that bad"
"Does being kicked in the nuts hurt that bad" she shot back at me. We explored the aisle some more. I picked up some Midol pills. Maximum strength relief. For cramping, bloating, headache, backache and the list just goes on and on. Well no wonder they're always mad, they have go through this every month
"Sucks to be you girls" I said but I faded it out as I saw Carlie near the end of the aisle talking to some well built guy. He looked like he was in his early 20s maybe. I focused on their conversation.
"Oh no. I wasn't looking at the condoms"
"Don't worry. It's cool. Girls have needs too. We can test out the product if you need too" he said this annoying flirtation voice.
"We? as in you and me?"
"Yeah. So what do you say? Can I help?"
"Yeah, you can" Carlie answered. Was she flirting with this loser right in front of me. How can she probably just be this way with something who just asked her if she wanted to have sex with him and she just accepted it just like that. My thoughts became angry.
"I mean wouldn't be so cool if we each pee on the stick and it comes out positive. I mean I'll be completely amazed" she said sarcastically. I calmed down. The guys had this dumb shocked look on his face.
"Your pregnant?"
"I think I just might be"
"Well we can still-" Carlie cut him off.
"You see that oversize freak of nature over there" she said and I quickly turned my back to them.
"That's my boyfriend" she said.
"That's your boyfriend?
"Yeah, you know he's a bit of a dumb ass. As you can see the situation he put me in" she said. I think "Dumb Ass" was her favorite 'cute' little nickname for me. I even respond to it sometimes when she says it. I rolled my eyes although when it comes down to her, I would gladly accidentally get her pregnant
"But he's hot piece of ass so let him" I heard her said. I smiled to myself as he called me a 'hot piece of ass' and I may have blushed a little.
"Hey Jacob, come here" she called. I turned to look at her. Then walked toward them
"I heard the first response" she said.
"The what?" I questioned. She whispered something but I couldn't hear it.
"What?"
"Play along" she whispered angry and making sure the guy didn't noticed.
"Exactly, when was the last time we had sex?" She asked me.
"What's today?" I questioned.
"10th of August" the guy said rude.
"Like 2" I started
"Maybe 3" Carlie added.
"weeks ago" we said at the same time. The guy took out his key and opened the glass door and picked up a box. I could see it in his face he was pissed.
"The clear blue will estimate how many weeks you are. You know if you are pregnant" he said handing the box to Carlie.
"Oh thank you" she said politely with a bit of sarcasm in there. The guy closed the glass door.
"Your not taking one for you? I thought you wanted to test the product with me" Carlie said in this innocent and little tease voice thag made me want to laugh because he thought he had a chance at testing the condoms with her because that was also behind the glass door but at the every bottom where the pregnancy test.
"Congratulations if you and your boyfriend are pregnant" he said with an attitude.
"Thank you" she said and put her arms around me then hugged me. That seemed to really piss him off.
"And your the first and only one that knows. So really thank you" she said again her innocent teaser voice that made the guy just want away. He turned around and Carlie was still hugging me and we both waved goodbye to him. Once we couldn't see him anymore and we both just started busting out laughing.
"Oh my god did you see his face" she laughed. Her laugh faded out
"Ahh I'm so funny" she said then laughed to herself a bit.
"So I wanna boy" I said. She give me serious look.
"That's nice, you should find a girl with low self-esteem-" I cut her off.
"Why doesn't she have to have low self-esteem?"
"Well that's another stupid question. Would you like a stupid answer?" Well it was nice while it lasted. Me and Carlie we back to arguing. I got closer to her.
"Whatever. but I'll give you a baby any day and I'll be your boyfriend any day too. And i can be it too if i wanted cause you know I am a hot piece of ass" I joked. Carlie just stood there looking at me not knowing that I had heard when she called that. Her rang but she never told her eyes of me.
"Hello?" She answered.
"Did you get the food? What's taking you so long?" I heard Seth voice ask.
"Yeah. I just found the dumb ass at the store that's all" she said and just continued to look at me.
"Brady?" Seth questioned. Carlie give a very light smile.
"No, the one that looks like he's on steroids" she said.
"Jacob?"
"Yeah that one"
"Well hurry up, I'm dying here" I heard Seth say. Carlie mood changed almost like into a sad mood.
"That's not funny but I'll be there soon" she said hung up. I don't know why but I didn't like that they were spending time together alone and Carlie was buying him his favorite junk food.
"Who was that?" I asked.
"Seth" she answered then walked away. I quickly followed. She was at the check out stand.
"Why was he calling you?" I asked. She turned around.
"I'm sorry but who the hell are you to question me about stuff like this anything way" she said mad and defensive.
"Exactly! Are you missing something?" She asked me as she had all her bags ready and was exiting the store.
"Have a nice night Jacob" she said walked away.
I hate to call her this but she was a bitch. I mean I don't know what hell I did to make her, hate me. I guess that's the way to put but yeah she was a bitch me and don't know why but like it. I guess I am a dumb ass because she treats me like crap yet I'm just right there wanting her.
Seth Pov:
Carlie came back with junk food and pizza. Once I finished eating, I felt my strength come back immediately. Me and Carlie talked, watched tv. We were having a nice very calm and chill night.
"It's getting late. I should probably take you to Charlie's now" I said.
"I think your more than comfortable with me Seth. Have you not noticed the bright flashing red eyes"
"Right"
"Yeah. I already called him and told him I was staying with one of my girlfriends for a week"
"When did you do that?"
"On the way over here"
"And he was just okay with it?"
"No of course not. I heard it in his voice that he wasnt. but he feels like he leaves me alone too much. Guess he's just happy that he thinks I'm hanging out with someone who's not you. So i have to stay here for as long as it takes for it to fade"
"And how long would that will be?"
"I'm not sure but at least a full week maybe even more. But it fine you know like you said it's late you should go home... I don't want your mom thinking, I'm a bad influence on you"
"I am a grown man" I said and smiled.
"Right. But you live with her mom"
"Then I'll call her and tell I'm staying over"
"Do you think I'm gonna go all crazy and go on a hunting spree?"
"Is that a early guilty confession?"
"No. Really Seth I'm fine. Go home" Carlie and put her cold hand on my warm arm that sent chills through my whole body.
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" I asked and she just smiled at me.
"I would never want to get rid of you. I just feel like your always taking care of me. Im sure you have life. It doesn't have to revolve around me you know so go home get some rest and you can come see me tomorrow"
"Is that what your dad asked me to do?"
"I'm sure he meant check on me every once in a while"
"Yeah I don't think did"
"Fine sleepover it is. But call your mom to let her know"
We stayed up until like 2 in the morning and my eyes had a mind of their own as they closed and opened.
"You know if can't hang, there is a bed upstairs"
"No its fine, I'll just sleep here" I said yawning. Carlie laughed a little.
"Seth, you hardly even fit. You'll be more comfortable on the king size bed"
"And where will you sleep?"
"Vampires don't sleep remember"
"But you do... Well rarely"
"Exactly. Plus I drunk your blood, I wouldn't be getting any sleep for a couple of days with this much energy. Go to sleep" she said and nearly pushed me off the couch. I dragged my feet to the stairs.
"Goodnight" I barely said but she heard me.
"Goodnight, don't let the bed bugs bite" she giggled as I caught on to her inside joke.
"My bed bug already did" I joked and went went up stairs.
I saw the big over size bed. It looked so comfortable with the way it was made. It looked so fancy vintage.
I got under the cover and Oh My God it was more comfortable it was like laying on a cloud so I just knocked the minute the body laid on the bed.
