Chapter 3

"Jazlyn come out" Edan said. I didn't want to see him. I don't even know him. What if he wants to kill me to? I have a chance to jump out of the window maybe I could get away. Edan called one more time then he started to walk down the hall. His footsteps were getting louder and louder. Without anytime to think I was out the window and on the wet ground. The wind was blowing hard and my dress was flying everywhere.

I saw woods behind his house and thought it would be a good place to hind. I realized I didn't know where I was. There were no houses, no people, just woods. "Jazlyn! Come here I won't hurt you!" Edan screamed. There was silence until I heard a stick snap behind me. I turned and it was a white wolf. I tried to back away from it but it just came closer. I stared at the wolf wondering if it was just going to stand there when a giant cloud of smoke surrounded the wolf. Not even a two seconds later the smoke cleared instantly and Edan was standing before me. I screamed at his transformation and ran away from him. Running did even help because he caught up to and stuck me to the ground.

"I didn't want to do that but you forced me to!" Edan said kneeling next to me. How the hell am I supposed to respond to that? I was hurting all over because of falling into the ground. I sat up carefully trying not to put any pressure on my arms or legs. "What are you?" I said with a single tear strolling down my face. He lifted his hand to wipe it away but a forced myself to slap his hand away from me. He made know expression to my action he just sat there staring at me. I didn't want to look into toughs beautiful midnight eyes, so I just looked at the grass. "I am a vampire" said Edan plainly. This really got me mad. Vampires are fictional characters they're not real. But after I saw him turn in to a wolf all my theories were defied. "What do you want with me then? Are you going to suck my blood or something?" I asked. Edan must have found this funny because he started laughing at me like it was the funniest joke in the world. "I'm not going to hurt you. I already said that and I am here to protect you" he said then started playing with my messy hair. "PROTECT ME! Protect me from who, that guy Dimitri?" I screamed. "Yes"

"Is that all just a simple 'Yes'"?

"Well what else do you want me to say?"

"Well form start you could tell me why he wants to kill me or..."

"Or what?"

"Or who I really am."

He was hiding all the answers from me wasn't he? I stood up, dusted myself off and started walking. I had not the slightest clue where I was but I would rather be lost than be with him. "After all you just witnessed your going to run away?" Edan called after me. "Yes. If your not willing to tell me the truth than I have no reason to be here" I yelled in reply. I didn't even look back at him. "Fine go but you will regret it!"

That was the last I heard of him. I walked on and on. Once or twice I could feel him following me. The wonderful scent of Edan blew in the wind and brushed threw my hair. I had this urge to see him again. After all I have been threw this is all that was on my mind. Edan. Then I kept on replaying him saving me from that...vampire Tobias. Vampire. Vampires aren't real. But if Edan was lying than what happened to the white wolf? The more I think about it the more it gets confusing. I had to stop by a riverbank to rest.

The trees are starting to turn crimson, gold, and orange. I fed on a red apple I picked on a nearby tree. I noticed that I haven't eaten in days so I grabbed another one. It was staring to get dark. I was now terrified of the dark because after all that has happened has happened in the dark. I looked around me and but the only surrounding I saw were trees. The darker it grew the more frightening everything began. There were sounds everywhere. Cricket, frogs, lightning bugs. I wonder where Edan is? "Right here" said a sudden voice that came in my head. "Edan? Edan where are you! Come out right now!" I demanded. But once I said that I found it to be a mistake. No matter how irresistible he is he is not going to fool around. Someone's very cold hands touched my bare skin on my arm and turned me around. I looked into his eyes and all my rage went away. I was feeling stupid about how I ran away from him and how I made a fool of myself. "You're so cold" I said taking his hands in mine. "Come with me" he said pulling me closer to him. I didn't even give him an answer when opened my eyes again I was in the room of his house again. "Stop Edan" I snapped as he drew closer. "Stop what?" He said as if acting stupid. "Stop this. Just tell me what I need to know" I replied pushing him away to create distance. His gentle expression faded and was washed away by fury. "As you wish" he said pushing me into the wall as he passed by me. A rush of pain went through my back and arms as he slammed me out of his way. He turned around quickly as if shocked by how hard he pushed me. He rushed over and walked me over to a chair across from the one he had sat in. "Alright I will start from the beginning please no interruptions Jazlyn, just ask me them afterwards."
