Hey everybody! Sorry for the delay, I've been a little busy with school and I haven't been sleeping because of what's happening in the city, so I'm a little paranoid. I was writing this chapter and the next chapter of Trust at the same time, I was going back and forth, filling in scenes. I've been trying to figure out what I want to go with them and what I want to happen in future chapters, so bear with me.
Oh and I'd like to change something, during the ball scene in the previous chapter, the rating changed to R, you all know why. Taking the advice of a reviewer, Yoshi Kanzaki, I reread it and realized that it wasn't PG13, so sorry about that as I said the ratings will change in upcoming chapters.
Disclaimer: I don't own sailor moon or it's characters
Side note: I'm using basically everyone from the show including the generals so if anyone is paying attention then you would see that Michael Greene is Malachite and Justin Bryce is Jadeite and Raychel Landry is Raye and so forth and so on.
Chapter 4
( 3 days after the ball)
*SLAM*
Darien cringes as the sound of the door reaches his ears, he knew by the way the door closed that Serena was rejected, which meant that she was not going to be in a good mood. He thought about it for a moment Do I really care? No!!!
He rubbed his hands in anticipation, this was the thrill of his life; to annoy her when she was not at all tolerant, was something he enjoyed doing. He couldn't help it, it was how her face turned tomato red and her eyes got all stormy when she narrowed her eyes at her soon to be victim, which was always Darien. She was just too cute did I just say that? He shook his head to rid of the inappropriate thoughts and waited for his siren….umm partner.
Serena marches to her desk, everyone could see the attitude in her walk as her hips tried to keep up with her fast pace. She slumps down in her chair; swinging her legs up onto her desk, she leans her head back and closes her eyes. Darien stares at her ready to hear what he knew was going to be said.
He clears his throat, "he said no, huh?" Silence answered him, he chuckled at her state; she hated it when he was right and he knew that, which was why he was throwing it in her face. "Told you so."
With her lips in a pout, she lifted her head to look at him, "Reid, don't make me have to stab you with this pen, you know I'll do it." She said, holding up the writing utensil. He put his arms up in a surrendering motion, which didn't make her feel any better, since he still had his annoying smirk on his face. "well aren't we violent today."
"What happened?" he asked. She frowned at him, "You know what happened."
"Yeah I know, but I want to hear it from your own lips." He boasted. "He said we couldn't print the story." She imitated whiningly, rolling her eyes at the same time.
(Flashback)"Come on Drew! This could be the story of the year." Serena tried to persuade. "I'm sorry but it just can't happen."
Andrew sat at his desk listening to one of his top reporter's newest headline, it was full of corruption and possible scandal, but it was missing something important and until she got it, he couldn't put that in the next issue.
"You wouldn't believe the information we found! There were 3 victims in one month, with the same markings…..shit like that should be known; we can't just allow them to keep certain things like that from the public, especially if it's happening to women in the city!!!" Andrew nodded in understanding.
"Serena I understand what you're saying, but the point is that you can't put that on paper without proof. So you talked to a doctor, who cares? You need solid evidence, pictures, tape recording…something." She tsked, "You can't? or you just won't?" she asked crossing her arms across her chest.
"Both. You also have to remember that there are two major companies involved, you can't just mention Greene Tech and how the victim was linked to Diamond Enterprises, including the police department and most prestigious staff at the hospital morgue, you will get sued."
She let out a breath and moved her hands through her hair, "So you're saying you don't believe me?" he shook his head, "No it's not that. I believe you, you're reputation shows that you are not a writer who lies. If what you say is true then those who have the power will probably lie themselves to keep the truth from getting out."
"So what do I do? I can't just drop this, it could depend on the city's welfare." He nodded, "You could find proof, evidence that can be analyzed by the human eye. I'll tell you what, this will be you and Darien's project, you get all the time you need and as much space for paper coverage, just be careful."
(End of Flashback)"Don't tell me you're pissed!!" he said in disbelief. She frowned at him, "I'm beyond……pissosity!!" (AN: I love that word, even though I made it up) Darien looked at her funny, "Is that even a word?" she shrugged. "How am I supposed to know?"
"Well you're the journalist." Her eyebrow rose, "So are you." His eyes wandered around the area, trying to find something else to say, they always have to have their daily competitions, basically to see who could win an argument; everyone was used to it and sometimes even enjoyed their little spats. "Well…you used it."
*blink blink*
"Shutup Darien!!" He chuckled to himself and leaned back in his seat. "I don't know why you're so upset, I told you he wasn't going to print it, but you couldn't just leave it alone, you just had to go in there and ask." Serena's nostrils flared, but before she could blow up at her partner, she relaxed. "Yeah I know."
His eyes went wide, she had never before admitted that she was wrong or that he was right. what the hell is wrong with her? "The only thing we can do is take Andrew up on his offer, I mean we can't just drop this." He nodded, "So what do we do now?" he asked
She rubbed her neck, trying to think up their next move, "Um…"
"How about we start at Greene Tech." He suggested. "Yeah, we can interview Michael Greene about Jennifer Martin, she was after all his representative and I did meet him at the ball, so he might be cooperative." She said with a smile, boasting one of her many connections in his face. hey! I met him too he thought to himself.
"Well we can go right now since there's nothing…to…do….." he stopped suddenly, causing Serena to look over at him, but she couldn't see his face clearly with the white rose blocking her view white rose? Her eyes followed up the rose's stem to the hand holding it in place.
She soon met the icy violet eyes of Nicholas Diamond. "Mr. Diamond? Um what are you doing here?" she asked with confusion. "Please call me Nicholas. I was on my way to lunch and I wanted to know if you would like to join me?" he asked, ignoring the glare that Darien was giving him.
"Um, sure." He gave her the rose, which she willingly took, "Thanks, white roses are my favorite, how did you know?" he shrugged, "I just thought of you when I saw it, beautiful and pure." He said gliding his finger along her jaw. She blushed and turned to Darien.
"Um you don't mind if we go to that interview later, do you?"
"Actually…"
"Good, I'll see you after lunch, um 2 o'clock?" she asked her partner while staring at Diamond with a glazed look. "Well I really don't….."
"That's nice. Bye Darien!!" she called over her shoulder as she walked out of the room with her arm rapped around Nicholas' arm, while he led them out of the room. Darien didn't miss that look of triumph that Diamond gave him, which really pissed Darien off, but it wasn't because he was jealous am I?
************(Outside Greene Tech)***********
Darien checked his watch for the third time since he arrived, "where is she?"
Time seemed to slow down as the big hand landed on the 6 indicating that his partner was 30 minutes late, which meant it was 2:30. He ran a hand through his thick black locks as he paced the sidewalk, not at all happy that he was being stood up.
It wasn't even the fact that she forgot him, but the fact that she forgot him over Nicholas * just face it man, you got played* Darien scowled at his annoying sub-conscious and continued to pace the walkway.
Serena came walking up the path, humming as she skipped with each step she took. She twirled the white rose between her fingers still in deep thought over her lunch date with the popular Nicholas Diamond. "I want you to want me, I need you to need me, I love you to love me, I'm beggin' you to beg me. . ." The people passing by smiled as her sweet voice reached their ears.
She stopped suddenly as if remembering something important, her brows furrowed in concentration then widened as realization hit home. She looked at her watch which read 2:40 Shit!!! As she started running down the sidewalk, she stopped to take a good look around, slapping her herself, wrong way!!! she turned around and dashed in the opposite direction.
Darien stopped pacing as a blonde came into view; he frowned as Serena ran up to him breathlessly trying to apologize, "I'm…so…. sorry, *wheeze* I…. kind of got…. carried away." "Doing what?" she met his eyes and she could have sworn she saw something akin to…. No couldn't be She shook her head trying to get rid of her thoughts.
"Just talking….you know," he rolled his eyes at the white rose she kept twirling in her fingers, it was really starting to bug him, so he did what anyone else would have, he grabbed it and threw it in the near by garbage can. She gasped as he did this No he didn't!!!
She lifted up her purse and swung it at his head, hitting its target at perfect aim and pressure, causing her partner to stagger. Some people laughed at her actions as Darien held his hand to the throbbing bump on the back of his head, "Ow!! What the..?" she walked past him to the garbage can and pulled the rose out from the foul depths of the trash.
"Why, may I ask, did you take it upon yourself to discard something that was given to me, meaning that it was mine?" she said crossing her arms across her chest. "It wouldn't look very professional to walk into an office with a rose." He responded.
She rolled her eyes, "next time you touch my rose, I'm gonna break your hand," she said with a smile. "The damn thing's just gonna die anyway, I was saving you the trouble of throwing it out, you didn't have to hit me so hard!!!"
"Well it's your own fault, you shouldn't have touched it," she said smelling it. He stared at her smile why did it have to be for him? "What's your policy? If Darien Reid doesn't get any roses, then no one can?" he smirked, "Hey! I happen to get DOZEN rose bouquets from the many women who can't resist my glorious charm."
She shook her head and walked toward the entrance of the building, "My my, what an ego we have, it seems you get more conceited with every passing day." He strutted with his chin held high, like he was king. "Why thank you m'lady," he said while holding the door open for her. She glanced at him, "that wasn't a compliment." Following her into the lobby, he answered, "It wasn't?" all she could do was laugh at his idiocy.
*****************
Serena and Darien strolled into the large, 15 story building, their steps echoed around the lobby as their shoes hit the shiny linoleum floor. They spotted a desk clerk ahead, but before Serena could step forward, Darien grabbed her wrist.
"Let me handle this," he said as Serena stared at him in confusion and frowned once she heard his reply. The desk clerk was a chubby woman who looked to be in her mid 30's; she was eating a sandwich making her already swollen cheeks bounce with glee.
"Ahem. Excuse me…." The plump female looked up from her food "….is Michael Greene in his office today?" The woman wiped her mouth with a swipe of her hand, making Darien cringe inside as he watched the contents fall on the desk and stick to her hand.
Serena ignored the woman's manners or lack thereof and waited for her response, "do you have an appointment?" he shook his head, "No." The clerk threw a piece of her sandwich in her mouth, with it now stuffed, she said, "I'm sorry but only those with appointments can see him." Well it sounded like that.
Serena rolled her eyes as she witnessed Darien lean onto the desk, putting on his sexy smile. "It's extremely important." The clerk sighed, "I could care less, if your hair was on fire, you still wouldn't be able to see him!!" Darien frowned at her rudeness, he was really getting pissed off. yeah Reid, you're doing an excellent job handling it! Serena's mind shouted sarcastically.
She tapped her foot impatiently with her arms crossed, watching the whole situation. Finally not being able to wait for him to handle it, she pulled him backwards and stepped in front him, right when he was about to insult the woman till she got a nosebleed.
"Pardon my intrusion, but I don't think you understand. Let us introduce ourselves, I'm Detective Kyle and this here is my partner, Detective Reid." She pulled out her wallet and flipped it open quickly to reveal a gold shield; she quickly closed it before the woman could read the numbers off the plate.
Darien's eyes bulged from their sockets where the hell did she get that from? The clerk almost choked on her sandwich as she stared at the two, but his time with a different light. She calmed down a bit to address them, "Can I have your badge numbers please?" Darien hung his head we're gonna get caught…we're gonna get caught
Serena smirked, "No you may not." The clerk was surprised, but she smiled in triumph as she thought the two weren't who they said they were. "Then I'm afraid you can't see him." The blonde leaned on the desk, getting closer the secretary's face. "Do you dare to contradict an agent of the law? I can have you arrested for failure to cooperate with an officer!"
The lady smiled again, "You're not a police officer, arresting me for doing my job, doesn't come with your position, detective." She emphasized the word to make her point. There was a pause, the clerk took her seat, smiling at her skill to know when she was being denied her rights.
Her smile was soon wiped off as Serena spoke, "I can, however, have you arrested for preventing an investigation from taking place. I guarantee that you will be tried as an accomplice who attempted to protect the evidence that could indeed, be used against you and your partner in the court of law." She finished her statement with satisfying smile and waited for the clerk to react.
The woman stared at Serena with her mouth agape, her voice was stuck in her throat as she tried to decipher what was said, "I-I-I'm sorry, please excuse my rudeness! He's not meeting with anyone now, you may see him, he's on the 10th floor." Serena smiled, "thank you for your cooperation," with that she grabbed Darien, who was still stuck in his shocked state and dragged him to the elevator.
****************
As the doors closed, silence quickly filled the elevator. Serena couldn't help but feel uneasy as his eyes stared at her; it was like he was trying to burn a whole through her head. This, however, did amuse her, she had never seen Darien so speechless in the year that she knew him, finally she was able to shut him up!
She couldn't take the silence anymore and decided to break it, "hasn't your mother ever told you it's not polite to stare?" He finally blinked as her remark reached his ears, "How the hell did you get a police badge?!!?" he yelled.
"Well, my best friend IS a detective," she responded with a hint of annoyance for his stupid question, he should already know that. "You mean to tell me that you just walked up to him and asked for it?….and he obliged?" She started picking imaginary dirt for under her fingernails.
"Yeah…. But he said no," she said slumping a little in the shoulders and giving a defeated pout. "…..So I borrowed it," she said with a shrug glancing up at the elevator numbers, which showed that they were passing the 6th floor.
"You mean you stole it," he said with a smirk. She rolled her eyes, "I did not steal it, I took it maybe, but I did NOT still it!" he raised an eyebrow at her, "in case you haven't noticed but that means the same thing, your just trying to sugar coat it."
She frowned, "Nuh uh!!!" He gave her an bewildered look, "when you steal something the person rarely knows about it until later, but when you take something they notice the object it is gone right away." She said with a smile.
you have got to be kidding me! He turned to her with a chuckle, "you do know that didn't make any sense right?" She pouted again, "well it made sense in my head."
"How long have you had that thing anyway?" he asked. "Um….." she closed her eyes to try and calculate in her mind, "2 years." His eyes widened, "and you're now using it, 1 year with me and I'm now finding out about it." She rolled her eyes, "Chill!! I never had to use it before, well at least when I was with you." Silence took over again.
"You still stole it." She sucked her teeth, "you're just jealous because I have one and you don't, Mr. I'll handle it," she said sticking her tongue at him. real cute this time he was the one to roll his eyes as he crossed his arms over his chest, "I almost had her," he mumbled under his breath making his partner smirk.
"riiiiiight," she responded sarcastically. "I did!!!"
"Uh huh, whatever you say."
There was silence as the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened, as they walked out and into the hallway of the tenth floor, Darien grumbled out loud causing Serena to grin, "and I'm not jealous." (AN: that was a long ride to the 10th floor huh?)
******************
Michael Greene sat at his desk looking over some documents, he grumbled as he came across one particular file. "I don't understand how he can be so stubborn, I will never agree to his offer and yet still he harasses me." He was interrupted with a knock at his door.
"You may enter." He looked up from the papers to see two people walk in, a blonde female and a black-haired male whom both seemed awfully familiar. "May I help you?" he asked eyeing them; Serena more so than Darien, but only Darien noticed that. she can't be that oblivious?
"Mr. Greene, we met at the ball Saturday night, Serena Kyle and Darien Reid," she said pointing at Darien and herself. He nodded in realization and waved his hands at the two seats standing in front of his desk, "please have a seat."
It wasn't until they were seated comfortably when he decided to voice the question that was going over in his head. "So what is your reason in this sudden visit?" Darien sat up further in his seat as he answered, "As you probably already know, we're reporters for the Daily Globe and we wanted to ask you a couple of questions regarding Jennifer Martin."
Michael Greene leaned back in his armchair; his hand unconsciously rubbed along his chin repeatedly as he thought about the two reporters. Serena suspected that he might not answer so she said something to ease the tension, "It's just some questions about her position here so we can notify the public of her death and any possible family members."
He seemed to be satisfied by her explanation, "Well I don't see any harm in answering a few questions." Serena pulled out a pad while Darien started to read off the questions he had written on a small piece of paper. "What was her position here at your company?"
"She was the president and also my representative, she would handle the affairs of the company if I was away on business and take my place whenever I couldn't make a certain meeting; she was similar to a partner, after all we did work together on several projects."
Serena jotted the information down quickly and asked the next question on the list. "When was the last time you saw or spoke to her?" he licked his lips, "last time I saw her was here at the office the night of her death. I was supposed to have a conference meeting with Nicholas Diamond, but was unable to attend; so she went in my place."
"So you believe that she was attacked as she was leaving from the conference?" asked Darien. He shook his head, "I don't know, it all depends on the time she left the meeting, if she went anywhere else that night or the time of her murder."
"Well what time was the meeting?" Serena asked looking up at him her blues eyes clashing with his gray, "I do believe it was at 7:00 pm." Darien furrowed his brows in confusion, "why so late?" Greene shrugged, "We're both very busy people during the day, it was the best time that could be fit it into our schedules."
"Why weren't you able to attend the conference, I mean could you tell us where you were that night." Darien asked. Greene sat up in his chair and rested his elbows on the desk, "Just what are you suggesting?" Serena let out a deep breath, "We're not suggesting anything, it's just that if we happen to mention your absence in the newspaper it might be questioned, so as a precaution, we need an alibi."
He seemed to understand her explanation and smiled genuinely beautiful and intelligent Darien shifted uncomfortably in his seat I saw that look….watch it!! "Fair enough, I was meeting a lady friend of mine, her name is not important." Darien nodded and watched Serena write it down.
Serena remembered the little information she heard on the news and decided to mention it, "I heard that there was an attempted merger between you and Diamond's company. How is that processing?" They heard him mutter under his breath, clenching his fists.
Darien looked at her with both brows raised in question, she shrugged to show that she was just as clueless as he was. After Michael calmed down he spoke, "if you must know Ms. Kyle, I am not interested in merging with his company, no matter how prosperous it may be, however it doesn't mean that he will stop trying to persuade me, he is quite a stubborn and determined man."
Serena licked her lips and stood up, "Well I think we have all that is needed, thank you for your cooperation, have a nice day." They both shook his hand and exited the office.
As soon as they reached the elevator Serena made a suggestion, "How about we pay Justin a visit?" Darien shrugged, "Ok, I can tell him about the certain hot item you have in your wallet." He said with a smile. She frowned at him, "get over it Reid and push the damn button." His chuckles could be heard as the elevator made it's way down the shaft.
********(The police station)********
Justin smiled to himself as he could hear arguing come down the hall, he automatically knew who it was coming from; he waited for his two favorite reporters to enter his office, without knocking as usual.
"I really could care less what you do!" Serena yelled. "So I guess you won't mind huh?" Her scowling could be heard through his closed door, "You wouldn't!"
The door swung open revealing the arguing pair and slammed closed. Serena was glaring daggers at Darien and Darien had a goofy grin on his face. Justin's face showed no expression, the laughter was clearly seen in his green eyes as he looked at the two, "So what happened now?"
Serena walked over to him and sat on the edge of his desk, "nothing." Darien nearly laughed out loud as he saw how Serena was trying to change the subject. I'll let it go…for now "Darien's just jealous because I have better persuasive skills than he does."
Darien lifted an eyebrow, a smile slowly formed on his lips you should've kept your mouth shut Serena "Justin, you know that Serena has one of your badges in her wallet?" Serena gasped and stared at Darien with an agape expression I can't believe he said that!
She turned to see Justin staring at her, "I thought I told you NO." she shrugged and giggled nervously, but then she remembered that she was a reporter and reporters can get out of situations like these, so she decided to turn the tables. "What? Like you actually believed that I was going to take no for an answer. Come on this is me we're talking about, I'm a reporter, with sticky fingers, YOU should already know that."
Justin blinked a couple of times and sighed, "damn, I need to start locking up my stuff for now on, but luckily it was one of my old badges so nothing to really worry about." Darien pouted, he was really hoping that she was going to get it all well there's always next time
Serena smiled then stuck her tongue at Darien as he scowled in return. Justin shook his head at their childish behavior as a knock was heard at the door. "Yeah? It's open!" A brunette stepped into the room, her emerald eyes swept over the room and when they landed on the raven-haired man they flashed with desire.
Serena frowned at the newcomer She looks familiar for some reason. Where have I seen her before?
"Um Lita Jameson, these are my friends Darien Reid and Serena Kyle." She smiled but everyone could see that it was directed at one man. Her eyes did hesitate a bit when looking at Serena, but only Serena noticed it. Darien's eyes wandered over her appreciatively, she was after all, pretty, a little built, but pretty.
Serena and Justin rolled their eyes, "was there something you needed?" Justin asked annoyed, "Oh right, this just came in today, Carson, wanted you to see it." She said passing him the folder. "Thanks." She shrugged, "no problem." With that she closed the door slowly, still staring at Darien, with a wink she closed it completely.
Serena crossed her arms across her chest, "why didn't you just fuck her right here? I mean you could use the desk, I heard it's good for the back!' she sneered sarcastically. "Huh? What are you talking about?' he asked turning to face her.
"Well I mean it was pretty obvious by the way you two were staring at each other." She said watching Justin open the folder and read the contents inside. "Aaawww, are you jealous Serena?" Serena nearly choked, "WHAT! Hell no, It's just something that I observed, that's all." yeah ok his mind sarcastically said.
Justin pulled out a picture from the missing persons file of a girl with blonde hair and laughing blue eyes, she looked a lot like Serena, but you could tell it wasn't her. Serena took a glance at it and inhaled sharply catching Darien's attention, "what is it Serena?" Justin stared up at her waiting for her to respond; he was curious also.
"I've seen her from somewhere." She said. Darien walked up and took the picture into his hands; his eyes widened a little. "She was at the ball, I saw her talking to Nicholas Diamond when we were leaving, she was coming from the direction of the bathroom." could she had been his date?:
Justin read from the report, "Mina Sinclair was reported missing on Sunday night, but was told to call back after 24 hours, then it was reported again yesterday." Serena shook her head, "He wasn't with anyone when we spoke, so she couldn't have been his date.' She said trying to reassure herself and Darien. he had nothing to do with it, she was probably attacked on the way home like that Martin girl
"Wait, it was reported yesterday and it's now coming in today?" Darien asked. "Well it takes time to process the information on the missing person and we need a photograph to identify them so if anyone has seen them then they would know based on what is shown to the public."
Serena rubbed her temples and looked at Justin, "well it seems we might have another murder on our hands."
**********(Later that night, another part of the city)*********
(Rated R or NC-17 ……whateva!!)
A man, lays sprawled out on his bed with both his hands and feet handcuffed to the bedposts to prevent any escape. Stripped to absolutely nothing, his nudity was exposed to anyone who happened to be in the room. Feminine fingers tickled his skin as the hands moved over him softly.
From his legs they moved up to his waist, they brushed his tip, making him shudder as they continued upward until they reached the blindfold covering his eyes. Legs straddled his waist as the figure positioned herself on his thighs, the man pouted, he was hoping for her to sit a little closer.
She leaned over and kissed him on his chin, her tongue moved over it lightly then over his lips expertly. She smiled as his expression showed that her movements very well hypnotized him; too bad their time had to end soon, he really was an excellent sex partner.
She reached over and snatched the blindfold off his face, surprising him. His gray eyes wandered over her body, she was uncovered in her chest area and barely covered below as she wore a cute red thong. "You like?" she asked him seductively, all he could do was nod.
"Good, enjoy it because this will be the last time you see it." He stared at her confused, "what do you mean?" she sat up straight, her eyes never leaving his as she still held the smirk on her face. His eyes widened as they began to witness her face disfigure; her eyes blazed a bright hazel red as her two fangs began to grow from her mouth.
He tried to scream, but her hand prevented any sound from coming out while it covered his mouth. She put her finger up to her lips, "Ssshhhh." She reached over the bed and pulled out a 3-page report that was stapled together and set it on his chest, her hand still rested on his mouth. (AN: don't ask me how she did that b/c even I don't know and I'm writing it)
She flipped to the very last page and folded the others behind it. Using one hand she untied one of his hands letting it move freely. He of course tried to escape which earned him a punch in the face, with his nose now bleeding she spoke.
"Sign on the dotted line please." She said handing him a pen. He shook his head, she removed her hand; impatience was clearly written over her distorted face, "what? I can't hear you."
"Fuck you!" she sighed as her fingernails began to grow longer and sharper right before his eyes. He couldn't even blink before they made contact with his chest, leaving five, long, bloody trails. He yelled in pain, "Now, I could careless how loud you scream, I rather enjoy hearing my victims beg for their life."
To prove her point, she left another five on his cheek, she was careful not to get bloodstains on the papers. "Now let us try this again shall we?" she handed him the pen which he gladly took and wrote his name on the dotted line in his perfect penmanship.
She put the contract on the floor and turned back to her victim, "Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" He scowled at her, "I'm going to kill you, you little bitch!!" she smiled at him, her grin teasing him. "Not if I kill you first."
She put her lips to his scars on his cheek, his eyes rolled to the back of his head as she began to suck up the blood adding pressure to his face. "Hasn't anyone ever told you to never insult the very person who can take your life in one fluent motion?" he stared into her dark eyes, "I guess not." She said before plunging her teeth into his neck and sucking his life away. His cries echoed through the night, but they were, like so many other victims, unheard.
***********************
Serena sat upright in her bed breathing shakily, her eyes searched her room and soon landed on the clock that sat on her night stand, "1:30am." She frowned and laid back amongst her fluffy pillows. Her eyes were about to close when she shot upright again.
"Wait a minute, I could have sworn I heard someone screaming." She scratched her head as she tried to register what had just happened or if it had happened at all, "did I imagine it?" She couldn't help but feel a little nervous; the voice had sounded so familiar, maybe it was just a nightmare. "It might have been, no it was."
She laid back down trying to ignore the chills that were running up and down her spine. Her breathing became labored hinting to whomever that she was asleep, but of course sleep doesn't protect a person from harm as images of hazel red eyes and sharp fangs entered her dreams.
To be continued……
YESSSSS!!! I'm finally done with this chapter. Wait what the hell am I celebrating for I still have to finish chapter 10 of "Trust" and I am no where near finished, well I gotta go…..smooches!!! please R&R
