I never wanted the night to end, but it did. All of us girls found
our own way home. My ride just so happened to be a berry Mustang with a
handsome driver. We talked the whole way home about different stuff. He
told me all about his past life. He travels a lot, been moving since he was
two years old. I only hope that he doesn't plan on moving anytime soon.
A few days past with nothing exciting happening in the romance department. There were a few more attacks on the city, but we still haven't managed to find a way to stop them. Seems that the only thing that had worked so far was my fire power, proving that we are truely up against vampires. Even then, they heal themselves back up, only not as fast. We're trying wooden stakes next time that the vampires attack.
It was now Wednesday morning. Ms. Hallow's class was almost done. Only ten minutes left. She excused herself from the room, telling us to study and leave when the bell rung. Of course nobody studied. Turns out that the guy Mina danced with at Club Nightmare was in our English class. He was a Sophmore, just like Dom and Tobias. We just loves being the only Freshmen in a Sophmore class. Mina was busy chatting with him during the ten minutes. Unfortuently, Tobias didn't come to talk to me. I was stuck just doodling in my notebook until the bell rang. Walking out of the class, I went to my locker to exchange books. Opening it, I found a note resting on top of my stuff. It read:
Dear Raye
Sorry I didn't come talk to you during class today. Dom wanted me to chill with him. Meet me later tonight around 7 at Cafe Karma. Can't wait to see you there.
Tobias
I folded the note back up and stuffed it into my pocket with a giant smile on my face. School seemed to drag on endlessly today. I couldn't stop counting the hours until it was 7. Once school let out, the hours of waiting at the temple seemed to drag by just as slow. I could barely concentrate on my homework.
Finally, 7 o'clock came. I had arrived at the cafe ten minutes early, staking out the booth by the window. Tobias' car pulled up just in time. I watched him walked into the cafe. He looked as gorgeous as ever. Words can't express how happy I was when he finally sat across from me and we locked eyes. He gave me a little smile before taking his eyes off mine.
" I've been thinking a lot about you recently, Raye."
" I've thought a lot about you too, Tobias."
" You're the first girl I've ever actually liked. I think there's something special between us. I like hanging out with you. You.....um....feel the same way?"
" Yes, of course I do. I've only known you for a few days, but you're the best guy I know."
He then reached across the table and took my hand again, like he did the first time we talked at this booth. With his other hand, he reached into his shirt pocket and pulled out a slave bracelet. It was beautiful with a red stone in both the ring and bracelet. He slipped it on to my left hand and said," Wear this for me, ok? So that you'll never forget that I'm here for you." I turned a nice shade a red and was speachless. Once I figured out how to speak again, we continued talking for a few more hours.
After our second set of drinks, a group of guys, five to be exact, came walking up to the table. I noticed Dom was one of them. They each were quite attractive in there own way, but none as cute as Tobias. They didn't seemed to be very happy. Tobias quickly let go of my hand. The tallest one sat down next to Tobias while the rest just stood around the table. Tobias seemed slightly nervous. " Tobias, nice to see you. Who's your little girly whirly here?" the guy asked with a devilish smile. " Um...Raye, this is Echo, Adam, Heath, Solie, and you already know Dom," Tobias replied, his voice sounding timid as he said each of their names. " Why don't you bring her back with you tonight? We could all use some fresh meat in the house, especially since you seem so taken by her," said Solie, leaning over the table to take a good look at me. I was beginning to feel as uncomfortable as Tobias probally felt. I noticed Echo's eyes glaring at the slave bracelet on my hand. I quickly put my hand under the table. " Sorry...um....Kaye, right? We gotta steal Tobi here for a few. We need to....have a lil' chat with him. We'll send him home when we're done with him," said Adam, digging a hand in to Tobias' shoulder. Tobias gave me a worried look. " I'll catch up with you later, Raye," Tobias said while standing up with the guys. " Hey, Raye..Don't worry, we won't abuse you yet. We'll find another girly to play with tonight. Sweet Dreams," Heath said while pushing Tobias out the door. Tobias glanced back once more before being shoved out. I began to get really scared when I heard the engines of cars reving up shortly followed by tires squealing down the street. I knew something bad was going to happen to Tobias. What had started out as the most romantic evening of my life ended up to be one of the worst. I hadn't a clue how those guys knew Tobias, or what they were planning on doing to him. I spent the whole night awake in my room, too worried to sleep. Finally, around 5 in the morning, the light in Tobias' room turned on.
