Chapter 5
"Tori" Jade said, walking a little closer to the girl. Tori backed away from the girl, causing her to halt in her tracks.
"So you've been lying to me? About your life? About everything?" Tori asked, tears beginning to form in her eyes.
"I wasn't lying to you. I just didn't tell you everything about me until I felt I could trust you enough" Jade explained, slowly moving close to the girl. As she touched the girl's shoulder, Tori flinched away, causing Jade to retract her hand. She's afraid of me...no Tori please don't fear me, she thought.
"You're afraid of me" it was more of a statement than a question as Tori refused to look at her. "Tori, you know I would never hurt you. You have no reason to fear me" Tori faced her at the statement, tears rolling down her face.
"I don't? Jade you're a vampire! You could've killed me a long time ago-" Tori began.
"But I didn't! I don't want to harm you Tori! I care about you too much for that! Don't you think if I actually wanted you dead, you would've been dead by now?" Tori thought it over. All Jade has been to her since she's met her was a great, stunning, wonderful person. Even now she can't seem to push the girl away. She could never betray her heart. "How do I know I can trust you?" she asked the vamp. Hope seemed to light up her eyes at this.
"You invited me in. That's more trust than I ever deserve" Tori looked at her confused. "Vampires can't enter a humans house without an invitation. When you invited me in, you gave me access to your home and you're..." Heart "friendship and trust" She put a hand on Tori's, glad the girl didn't flinch away this time. "Here, take this" She pulled a necklace out of her pocket and gave it to Tori "A vampire can compel humans and vampires alike to get them to say or do whatever they like. This necklace has a special magic that protects you from vampires...from me"
Tori looked into Jade's eyes and swore she saw love and longing in them before it was gone on a flash. Tori turned around and let Jade put the necklace around her neck. Once Jade secured the necklace around the girl's neck, she lowered her hands to Tori's shoulders. Soon her hands went to the girl's waist, pulling her close. Tori intertwined her fingers with the girl's as her eyes fluttered close. Jade laid her chin on the girl's shoulder before leaving a gentle kiss on it. Tori let out a sigh and that seemed to bring Jade back to reality as she released the girl.
"Tori I-" She began.
"Look Jade, I'm still a little shocked at all of this. You should have told me this. I wouldn't have ratted you out. But right now I think its best we just stay away from each other for awhile. I need to think this all through" Tori felt like her heart shattered at the broken look on Jade's face but this was for the best for right now. She needed to clear her mind and think things through.
"I understand...If you ever need me...I'll be around" with that said, Jade walked away and into the house as Tori got into her car and drove off. Once her car was no longer in view, Jade tossed her table over and screamed at the top of her lungs. I should've told her. I was so stupid not to trust her and now she may be gone, she thought as she sank to her knees. Meanwhile Tori drove back to her house. As she entered her house, she noticed Trina laid out on the couch, switching through the channels.
"Hey Treen" She greeted the girl, catching her attention. Trina looked up from the TV and greeted her with a wave. She still had a bandage on her neck from when she was attack. "Um where do you think you're going?" she asked as Tori began to walk toward the staircase.
"To my room. Why"
"No you're not. I'm having some friends over so you're gonna have to spend the night with one of those loser dweebs you call friends" Is she serious right now?
"First off, my friends are not dweebs secondly, they are way better than those crack pots you sit with everyday"
"I don't care, take what you need and get out. Don't come back until tomorrow after school" Tori didn't bother grabbing anything and just stormed out the house. Before she could get to her, she felt a hand come across her face and drag her to the other side of the street and hold her up against a tree. Tori saw the man eyes were a dark blue and he had veins showing from them with a sharp set of fangs. Oh my god he's another vampire! she screamed in her head.
"What the hell are you doing?! Let me go!" she exclaimed, struggling to get out of his grasp. Tori seem to freeze in fear as the guy gives her a sadistic smile. He lifted her chin to his face.
"I've been locked up for year, almost starving to death. Before I kill you I think we're gonna have some fun first" He said, letting out a sadistic laugh. Tori let out a scream as he held her neck open to attack. Suddenly, Tori felt the weight lifted off of her and looked up to see Jade slamming the man to the ground before removing his head off his shoulders. Tori saw Jade's eyes were a deep dark shade of green and veins appeared on her eyes as well. Soon Jace and Cat appeared next to Jade, their eyes the same as hers, except Cat's was a fiery red color. Both of them leaned down to inspect the body. Cat's a vampire too?! Tori screamed in her head again.
"Holy shit...Jade its Quentin" He stated, shock filling his voice. Jade looked at him in disbelief.
"What? That's impossible! Quentin and the other vamps left LA after the war!"
"Jade, me and Quentin were buddies since middle school. I'd never forget his face" Or his betrayal, Jade thought.
"If Quentin was here, there is a possibility, Rayna is here as well. She's gonna be fucking pissed once she finds out Quentin is dead now" Jade began to pace back and forth but Cat stopped her. "Get Tori outta here. We'll deal with this mess and find out some new info" Jade nodded to them and her eyes changed back to normal before she ran up to Tori. Picking the girl up bridal style, she zoomed all the way back to her house and set her down.
"You should stay here for awhile while me, Cat, and Jace figure out what's going on" Jade stated as she began to walk away but Tori called after her.
"Jade wait!" Tori called out, making the girl stopped in her tracks. "This is all so crazy! This shouldn't even be real! Yet it is! I was nearly killed, if you hadn't showed up! This is all so scary that I wish I didn't find out what I did! I wish I didn't meet you and become great friends with you! I wish I wasn't in love with you!" That made Jade turn around. The girl had shock, relief, contentment and longing showing all in one.
"I'm scared that after this, something worse is gonna happen to you and I don't want that! I need you Jade! you make me feel safe and protected! Dammit Jade I love you" She loves me, Jade thought as she ran over to the girl and connected their lips together in one swift motion. Tears rolled down Jade's eyes as she pulled Tori closer to her by her waist, deepening the kiss. Tori backed Jade up to the house, opening the door as Jade began to attack the other girl's neck. Soon Jade felt the hunger inside her roar to life as her eyes changed and her fangs extended. She quickly turned away from Tori but Tori caught her arm.
"Don't hide from me" Tori said, in the softest voice ever. Jade slowly turned back to face Tori and the girl couldn't believe how beautiful the girl looked even with her eyes and fangs the way they were.
"I trust you" she said as she kissed the girl on the lips. Jade's hunger seemed to die down as her eyes returned to normal as she returned the kiss. Tori pulled her by her hand up the steps and into the girl's room. She locked the door and the to got lost in their new found love, not caring about what's going on in the outside world.
