Chapter 10
I snapped awake at the sound of someone sobbing. I sat up and looked around questioningly before I realized that it was I who had been crying. My cheeks were wet with tears of remembrance of Shane.
I reached up and touched my neck as I felt something warm slowly sliding downward. I looked at my fingertips, calling on a bit of magic that made my skin shimmer with pale blue. The liquid smeared on my fingers was an inky purple. I slowly licked my finger, though I already suspected what it was. I grimaced as the metallic taste filled my mouth.
There was an exasperated sigh from the other side of my bed.
"Kala, why did you call me?" Kieran asked sharply. "You don't appear to be in any danger. And you interrupted my." he cleared his throat. "Is there anything you want?"
I stupidly turned to face him, then realized what I had done a moment too late. His skin was pallid with hunger, his eyes dark with bloodlust as they fell to my bleeding throat. I slowly backed out of my bed, my hand going to my neck to cover the blood. He walked toward me, his eyes on my neck. I had backed into a corner before I realized that I had to run for it, but where to, I didn't know. My heart pounded in my ears as I slowly inched in the direction of the door.
"Kieran." I said, but my voice failed me. I raised my other hand over my head and snapped my fingers loudly, hoping to bring his attention to my face. Maybe if I could do that, then.
It worked, but only for a second. His eyes flitted to my eyes then back to my throat. A look of twisted fury and helplessness clouded his features.
When I was only five feet from the door, I bolted. He caught me before I had even gotten a few steps in the direction of the door and, clutching my shoulders, slammed me into the wall. My head reeled and my arms were frozen to my side. I struggled to get away from his cold grip, but it was no use. His body pressed tightly against mine, holding me against the wall. My breathing was coming in short gasps as fear swamped me. I struggled again, but then realized that what I did only brought out his hunter's instinct as he gave up resisting and pulled me swiftly and smoothly away from the wall and into a paralyzing grip and unsheathed his fangs. The moment before his fangs pierced my neck, a thought slipped despairingly through my mind.
"Promise me.that you'll always look to the light."
A/- interesting ending...sorta...well, w/e u think, just REVIEW! (yeah that's right...the lil grayish blue button at the bottom on the left!!!)
