Chapter 16

Brooke's Pov

I woke up in an unknown room, in an unknown bed, and I wasn't alone. Not the first time, I thought. Peeping my eyes open I saw a snoring…Mo? Her hair was all over the place and her makeup was smudged…Damn, if that's how she looks I don't even want to think about my appearance haha. I smiled to myself and pushed off the blankets.

"Molly?" I whispered.

Nothing.

"Mo?"

Nothing.

"Mo, wake up." I said giggling, and pulled her blankets off of her.

"No…no. Why'd you have to do that?" She groggily asked, pulling at the covers once more. I laughed and she opened her eyes. "You look a lot better than before." She murmured and I raised a brow.

"I dunno, you're the spitting image of beauty doll face." I smirked at her. She grumbled some curse under her breath and after a moment she shot up from where she was.

"Are you alright? You had me scared to death last night!" She exclaimed, and pulled me into a bear hug. I was a little surprised, and pulled back after a moment.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Oh shit…" She murmured. "Last night…Paul brought you here and you were all freaked out. You were hysterical all night. So I let you sleep here, and you crashed."

"Why?" I asked. I had no reason to be all bat shit crazy. I had a fun night with Paul, I mean we made out on the pier, and-

"He told me about your sister…" She broke me from my thoughts. It was like a piece of glass shattering and I felt cold all of a sudden. "Brooke? It's not your fault. She was the irresponsible one."

"I should have never let her go off with those Surf Nazi's." I whispered. She pulled me close.

"I know they're pricks, but Brooke, open your eyes it wasn't them either. Will you be open to the idea of…vampires? I mean, Paul said that they found pieces of burned flesh…No person would do that, especially to Taylor."

"Mo, I don't know what you're talking about. There's no such thing as-" I was overwhelmed with a flashback.

"I'm never going to die. I'm stuck in this moment in time, and it can be ours, Brooke. We'll never grow old. I'm a Vamp-"

"Vampires." I whispered. I was in real shit now. What if…there's no way Paul could be a…There's no way. He's a good man. I mean, he's cocky as hell, but he would never hurt someone, right? Even though I've never seen him during the day…will you get a hold of yourself?! There are no such things as vampires! And if there were? How would Paul know…what if…He would never hurt Taylor, right? My head was spinning, and I felt like I was going to be sick.

"Brooke, calm down."Mo said, holding my shoulders. "Even Paul thinks something's fishy here. He even said he'd help us out. He seemed so worried about you last night. I think he just wants to help.

"Help?" I questioned. Why would he help if he were one of those…things?

"Here's the kicker. I thought him and his friends were the undead, but he was so in tuned with listening to us…even my brothers are in on this. We thought they were vampires, so sorry we didn't trust him before. He'll be here to help us tonight. He'll want to see you Brooke. The way he looked at you-"

"I can't see him." I cut her off. I was scared. Why would he help? What more could he possibly do to help? If it weren't for him…I might not be in this mix. Tears were swelling in my eyes.

"Why?" she asked, pulling away slightly.

"I'm scared." I concluded.

A couple hours passed, and it was almost seven in the afternoon. I can't imagine we slept most of the day, but I had to get out of there before night. I couldn't let him find me if he were…you know…a monster. I couldn't wrap my head around it. He seemed so sincere. I really liked this boy, and now I would be running away from him! On top of it I felt woozy, which didn't help the situation. My body was numb, like someone hit me in the chest with a brick. My head was on fire, and my belly burned. I felt too sick to eat, and even though I could tell Mo was worried, she didn't say anything.

"How about we go get out of the house for a bit?" I asked, and she smiled.

"A little fresh air would do us good, and I suppose I better get some dinner for my bratty brothers." I laughed through the haze, and we headed off to a little sandwich shop. The food made me ill, and I excused myself to the restroom. I felt even dizzier with the smell of food encompassing me. I washed my face off in the single bathroom and rubbed my eyes. I looked up into the mirror and they were all puffy and red. Something was wrong. I looked…like I wasn't all there. Like someone could walk right through me. I looked from my reflection, then looked back down to me. Everything, was fine; I mean I was all there. The mirror must've been funny or something. I exited the restroom and after Molly got her brothers food, we left.

The fresh air did me good, but the sun was now setting. Mo said to stay in a flock of people. She wasn't as scared as her brothers were of vampires, but she always took her own precautions. Once coming up to the shop she went in and I told her I'd be right in. I didn't want to be there…especially if Paul would be coming. My heart hurt. I could barely breathe, and leaned against a wall. What was happening to me?

That's when I was grabbed.

I was launched into the shadows of an alleyway.

All I heard was laughing.

I could see just fine…but no one was there.

"Hello?" I asked shakily.

"Hey beautiful." An icy voice called, and I span around. In front of me stood someone I would never want to see again. A familiar mohawk and cocky demeanor faced me.

Colin.

Taylor's Colin. He looked much more collective than before, and even spooked me out.

"What are you-"

"I missed your beautiful face, miss Brookie." He chimed.

"Wh-where's Taylor?" I stammered, and he chuckled.

"It's a shame what happened to her. But I'm still here, and I'm feeling more alive than ever. I was worth saving. And apparently you too, huh?" he whistled, and moved in closer.

"What do you mean?" I stuttered quietly.

"My men saved me. And I can smell it on you too. It's overwhelming. We're not normal baby girl. And I'm here to tell you it won't be long now. I am very much into sisters by the way." He winked, and I was thrown against a wall. Fuck. No way was this going to happen. I was numb. I squirmed and kicked Colin in the crotch. He backed up and I punched him in the nose, hearing the crunch. He cursed, and before he knew it he was gone, leaving me with a bloody hand.

The smell made my heart stop. I crouched down and looked at my hand. Blood ran between my fingers and down my hand. I got him good. That's when I felt it. I was overwhelmed and…licked it. Red is all I saw, and I was lapping up every drop of blood. A voice broke me from my foggy vision.

"Brooke." I saw Paul running my way. He looked sympathetic and worried, and I stepped back. What did I just do?

"Stay away." I cried out. Oh god, what was happening to me? Tears flooded my eyes. I drank the blood. I did that.

"Brooke, please relax." He soothed, stepping my way. I blinked and looked up to him. He was beautiful…and all I saw was red. I was a monster.

"What did you do to me?" I whispered, now crying. He swooped me up into his arms and I held him close. As bad as I felt, I found comfort with him. "What's happening to me?" I whispered once more, and quickly the red faded to black. He held me close like a baby.

"I'm going to fix this, babe." He promised. "I'm going to fix this."

Awe Brooke :( Poor baby. Hope you guys enjoy, and have a marvelous Halloween! Let me know what you think, and muah! -Crimsonsky132
