I. Can. Not. Stand. THEM. I internally fumed as I was forced to listen to Laura and Sarah wonder what vampire sex was like. For one… I didn't care and I'm trying to use the library to STUDY, not a social call… When they started to wonder what their junk would look like I lost it, butting into the conversation I calmly told them. "You know, I heard from someone that vampire dicks have fangs, so they can suck out the human female wombs." Now, I am aware I am being bitchy as fuck and I don't know or care if any of this is true or not. They looked horrified, it was a good minute before Sarah spoke.
"What about lady vampires?" She sounded so shaken, I should probably stop here… Nah.
"They have row and rows of fangs lining their hoochies so that they can literally grind human dicks into a paste." When a few loud crashes sounded from behind me I quickly turn around to see several of the football team had passed out… time for me to leave. Making a quick exit, I texted Ivy and told her to meet me by Ryan's car. I couldn't help randomly laughing on my way over there.
When I got there, I wasn't surprised to see Ivy and Ryan there waiting for me. Quickly I filled them in on what happened and we all lost it laughing. "You know that is not really how that works right?" Ryan asked me when we all calmed down.
"Well, I don't really know… but I would assume that what I said is ridiculous and nowhere close to true. How do you know?" I noticed a slight hitch in his voice like he was hiding something.
After a moment he finally answered, "The girl I've been seeing, she is a vampire."
"I can not really say that I am surprised." I tell him, glancing at Ivy. "but I would like to meet her."
"Really? You're not freaked out?" Ivy piped up.
"Why should I be?"
"Well, that vampire who was fucking with you that one night."
"He or she didn't harm us, easily could have killed us. So, I guess it's safe to assume that the unknown is not always a bad thing and I mean they were human at one point…"
"So, if someone we knew was a vampire?" She pried. "Someone close to us?"
"I guess I would just have to accept it, what more could I do?" I didn't get an answer from Ivy, but I did notice that she and Ryan shared a look. They know something that I do not, briefly I consider prying the information from them, but I reconsider, it makes no difference whether I know or not. Just more of a headache.
Squealing tires captured my attention and immediately I am looking to see what is going on. When I see it my blood runs cold, three people are racing around on their bikes around a white kitten. I can't hear its mewing over the bikes, but I toss my backpack to the side and I'm racing across the parking lot in the next second. "Clara!" Ivy and Ryan yell from behind me, their sounds of pursuit are barely registered.
"Stop it!" I screamed, but the men refused and were slowly getting closer to the kitten with every spin of their tires. I have never tried to push my body past its limits before, so I wasn't surprised when pain shot through my body, but I kept going. Diving through a brief gap left open during their turns and scooped up the petrified kitten. Their laughing increased, as they began to make attempts to grab at me like I made it easier for them. I took labored breaths and dodged most of their hands.
Ivy was panicking and she was crying. I didn't like my friend crying. Ryan was picking up a branch and approaching the men. The little baby in my arms was shaking so terribly… One yanked my shoulder and I jerked my elbow back, slamming it in his face, he fell. His bike falling and sliding against the concrete. "You bitch!" He snarled at me, and the glare I leveled him with was enough to silence him. I slipped the kitten into my hoodie pocket. As he approached me the circle broke and I took off racing the right, heading for the math building. "Run now!" I screamed at Ryan and Ivy. I don't know if they listened as I grabbed the pipe on the side of the building and used it to climb up, grabbing ahold of whatever I could, window sills, the utility ladder.
"That's not going to save you, bitch!"
"I don't know… I seem safe enough up here. Unless… are you flexible?" I smirked at him and his friends. Don't have enough time to continue provoking them, but I need Ivy and Ryan to get away.
"Get that damn kitten from her now!"
I popped a could of doses of my inhaler and then took several deep breaths as I backed up toward the edge of the building, I stroked the kittens head and muttered. "If they come… I have no choice but to run and jump to the other building little one." I kept my eyes on the scrambling men. A hand wrapped around my neck and I found myself slammed back first against the roof. A fourth! "Your causing trouble girl." He spoke to me calmly, as he pressed his knee just above my hoodie pocket. I shoved up against him hard and swung my leg up to kick him off. He caught my leg and increased the pressure against my throat. "You'll die if you keep fighting." I guess my expression told him all he needed to know. I would die willingly before I would stand aside and allow any level of cruelty to go on when I could help prevent it. However, I don't plan to die without a fight.
I dug my nails in the side of his face, dangerously close to his right eye and he yelled out, reacting just enough that I could slip my legs up under him and I kicked him off, close the edge. I got to my feet coughing. Hearing the sounds of the other guys I bolted towards the edge jumped, just about losing my footing on the edge of the new building. I pulled the kitten out of my pocket and tried to shush it, as I jerked open the door that leads down from the roof and took the stairs two at a time. "We're okay, we're gonna be just fine. Shh."
