Chapter four
Humming softly to herself, Granite made her way to lunch. *Thursday today, one more day till the weekend* she cheered up at that thought.
The halls were filled with people all making their way to the cafeteria, many greeted Granite as she walked past. Yes she is popular, why would she not be with her dazzling good looks and charming personality.
But her sister is different. Kandie is not as popular as Granite, though she did look just as good. The problem with Kandie is that she doesn't care about much apart from her running, she didn't have many friends apart from the people on her track team. She was someone who didn't let others in. Or so people thought, because they didn't really try to get close, they just believed what Granite said. And Granite wasn't purposefully putting down her sister's reputation, that was just the way Kandie is at home, that's the way that Granite sees her.
In truth, Kandie is not like that, not at all. She runs to relieve the tension she gets from home where she has to put up with a stepfather she hates, a mother who doesn't like her, and a sister who doesn't understand her. She runs to make everything else ok, but that doesn't mean running is the only thing she wants. The reason she doesn't care a lot about other things, is that nobody ever gave her anything to care about.
When Granite stepped through the double doors to the cafeteria, the smile on her face was wiped off. She stood rooted to the spot. Standing 20 feet away from her was David, and he wasn't alone, worse, he was with Kandie.
They weren't just standing together either, they were talking, no laughing together.
Granite felt her face immediately burn up with anger. *The little bitch* she thought bitterly, *let's see what you can do.*
~***~
For Kandie, she wasn't sure whether she was dreaming, or if this is real. David is talking to her and she didn't even do anything special.
This had never happened before, boys always talked to Granite, and came to her only for help when her sister got a temper. And yet, David preferred her.
*Great, I don't even have to do anything, and I might win against Granite. hehe* she smiled inwardly as well as on the outside.
"So you wanna go out with me tomorrow?" The comment cut into her thoughts.
Kandie hadn't been concentrating on what David was saying, she'd just been absentmindedly making simple, robotic responses to his comments while she pinched herself to make sure this was real, but this question bought her back to earth.
"Huh?" Kandie asked dumbly. Staring up at him with big eyes.
"I said, do you want to go to see a movie with me or something tomorrow?" David repeated slowly.
As the words registered in her muddled and confused head, she finally found the courage to reply.
"Are you asking me out on a date?"
"Yes, so what do you say?"
Kandie stared up at his eyes. They were so green, and bright, they looked like clear crystal windows, but when she tried to look deeper, she found that there was a barrier, somewhere she wasn't allowed in.
Yes he is gorgeous, and most girls would do anything to be with him, but for some reason Kandie never felt the desire, she had accepted her sister's challenge only because she was angry.
She was about to open her mouth to say no, but her part of her mind protested, *What are you thinking!? He's perfect, and this will really show Granite that she's not the best in the world.* another part argued, *but you don't really like him, are you sure you want to go out with someone you don't really like?* it wouldn't hurt to try the first part thought.
And Kandie found herself saying, "yes, sure."
"Great, I'll pick you up at seven." David said with a wicked grin on his face.
Kandie open her mouth to say something, but David had already left. She let out a breath, *well, that's that.*
When Kandie turned around, her eyebrows lifted as she noticed Granite standing there, her eyes filled with anger. With a smug look on her face, Kandie walked past Granite and left the cafeteria. Knowing that her sister would follow her, she made her way towards the old, abandoned science block of the school.
"What did you do? Pay him? You know bribery is not allowed!" Kandie heard Granite shout.
Calmly, she turned around, and faced her twin.
"No actually, I didn't, I'm not as low as you are. David just seems to like me, like me better than you, so face it." It felt so good saying those words. For all 17 years of her life, others had told her how pretty her sister was, and how nice her sister was, and Granite had always stuck that in her face, waved it about until Kandie felt worthless. Now that someone liked her better, she's definitely going to stuff that right under Granite's nose.
Granite shook her head in anger and jealousy. Deep down she knew Kandie hadn't used any tricks, her sister is too innocent, but she would not let herself believe that for once, she was beaten.
"I don't know what you did to mess up his mind, but I swear, you'll pay for this. The competition is not over, and in the end, I assure you I will be the one who wins." Granite said before she walked back to lunch.
"Whatever you say." Kandie muttered softly to herself.
~***~
Granite bit her lip in thought as she packed her bag after the end of last period. Now that the anger towards Kandie had subsided, she could think properly.
So perhaps David really did like Kandie better than herself. Or maybe it's just that he doesn't really know her, which meant that she had to find someway for him to notice her.
*Yea, that's probably why he asked Kandie out instead of me. Sure she's pretty, but compared to me, I know I'm the more preferred type to boys. Maybe if he knows me he'll see that I'm the better twin. There's just no way I can be beaten by Kandie in a competition like this.* Granite thought as she took her car keys out of her bag.
She drove out of the school parking lot, and down the streets, still thinking about what to do with David. At a red light she stopped.
*hm..... now should I turn right to go home, or turn left to go to the mall and do some shopping?* Granite asked herself. *left* she decided, with a nod of her head. *yes a mall visit would help me think.*
She tapped her fingers lightly on the steering wheel as she waited for the traffic light to change. Out of the corner of her eye she saw familiar figure walking on the sidewalk. She turned her head to look closely and she realised the familiar person was David, and he had his arm around the waist of a blonde girl she had never seen before!
"what the…" the car behind her beeped impatiently and she looked up to see that while she was observing the couple, the traffic light had changed.
Granite started her car, and drove to the nearest parking space. After parking her car, she hoped off and started running.
*to hell with shopping. Let's just see what David is up to with another girl after he just asked Kandie out.*
Running down the street, she saw David turn around a corner with the blonde. As she approached the corner herself, Granite slowed, and eventually stopped. Carefully she looked to check that David hadn't noticed her.
Her eyes narrowed in suspicion even more when she saw that the place David was leading the girl to was a darkish alley way. Creping quietly she followed.
After about ten minutes David stopped walking, and turned to the girl at his arms. Granite looked around and saw that surrounding her were the old buildings of the town. Places nobody has inhabited of 20 or so years. Dark and scary they were, nobody would dare come here at night. Even now, in daylight, Granite felt scared.
*Why would David bring a girl here? Unless he was going to do something bad to her?* Granite thought.
Turning her eyes back to David, she could see that he was now leaning down, leaning towards the blonde, as if he's going to kiss her. But he didn't stop at the mouth, instead he lowered his mouth to her neck, and paused there for a minute.
*what is he doing?* Granite wondered.
The girl let out a cry as David's mouth connected with her neck, and fell limp. Granite could see that her skin tone was turning paler and paler. To Granite it looked like he was sucking the girl. Confused, she blinked her eyes, and tried to look closer.
When David finally lifted his head from the girl's neck, bile rose in Granite's throat. She clutched her neck and felt herself starting to hyperventilate, she wanted to scream but she didn't dare. David's mouth was red, red the color of blood, and on the girl's throat two red holes were visible. He let go of the girl and her limp, lifeless body slid to the ground.
As Granite look closely, she could see David's canine teeth, that had been extended, slowly contracting back to normal size, she could see that his face, which a moment ago was filled with predatory beauty, change back the ordinary charming one.
When David straightened his back and started to move off, Granite came to her senses and realized the danger that she was in. As quite as she could, she hurried back to her car.
Leaning against the door of her jeep she tried to calm her breathing, but it wasn't so easy because she was not just breathless because of the running, but breathless because of what she had seen.
Granite had never been one to believe in the supernatural. Whenever others talked about ghosts and vampires she just laughed. She never thought there would be a day when she would find that they were real, nor that there would be a day when she would witness the feeding of one.
With trembling hands she opened the door and sat on the seat staring into space.
*David is a monster.* the thought richoted around in her head. *David is a monster, and I have to warn Kandie before she gets herself killed.*
She started her engine and drove home as fast as she could.
~***~
Kandie slammed her locker shut and picked up her backpack. Time to go back to the Hellhole. At least her mum and stepfather aren't coming back till 8, that meant she'd be alone with Granite.
*Granite, bad idea. Maybe I should go somewhere else instead.* she thought.
As she started to go, she saw Brutus' tall, muscular structure walking down the hall. He had his head down and looked like something was bothering him. Kandie couldn't help but notice the way that he looked so strong and powerful and how his walk seems so controlled.
"Hey, are you ok?" Kandie asked as Brutus arrived at the spot she was standing.
His head snapped up, and Kandie found her eyes tracing his chiselled cheekbones, his determined mouth, and grey eyes.
"uh yea, I'm fine." He replied, looking her straight in the eye.
"Are you sure?" Kandie searched his eyes, and found that they looked pained.
"yea, sure. I'm fine." He stood a little straighter as he said that firmly.
Nodding, Kandie said, "ok, if you say so."
As Brutus continued down the hall Kandie thought, *now there's someone I want to go out with.*
Before he left her line of vision, Brutus turned around and said, "be careful of David. There are some things about him that you don't understand."
Confused, Kandie shrugged her shoulders and walked away.
*Beware of David? Why?*
