Chapter 2
My breath lingered in the air as I knelt by the lake catching my breath. I dipped one hand into the still water, silver in the moonlight; gentle ripples flowed from my hand. I began to wash my blood stained chin. What the hell was I thinking, Lily told me not to, why do I never listen, she may be timed and unsure but she wise beyond her years, I think she I about my age but she seems so delicate and yet, I ... well I suppose I look up to her.
"I told you not to" whispered a gentle voice in my ear. I flinched and edged away quickly "Oh fuck, Lily never sneak up on my like that again you little shit!" Lily looked up at me with big tearful eyes. "I'm sorry Abikay I, I just, huh, I I'm sorry I wanted to help that's all..." she sobbed and dropped the towel she was holding. 'Oh fuck I'm such a bitch, oh you shit head, you made her cry oh fuck fuck fuck, what to say, I'm such am arse.' I thought to myself.
"Lily I'm ..." I was cut short a clear voice ringed out from the shadows. "Abikay, Abikay you bully Lily she didn't mean it uh sigh." Lily had run to hug the man in the shadows; he and Lily emerged from the darkness. The boy had the same brown hair as lily. But this young man had a lot more hair... "OH back off Hickary, stupid piece of crap, you, you DOG!" I shouted baring my teeth at him. "I can't have you hurting my little sisters feeling now can I you bitchy cat!" he snarled back. Our eyes met in pure hatred, more like species hatred. "Get some self control you morons, I know cats and dog don't get along but this I ridiculous, look your upsetting Lily again."
There was a gust of wind Burkto landed next to me settling his beautiful bat wings, I blushed as he looked at me, oh fuck, why dose he have to be so cool. His shoulder length black hair flowed around his slender face. 'AAAA, he so awesome.' I thought to my self. Uh, oh god why do fall to pieces around him? He bent down and picked up the towel. "Lily its fine they were just playing about, why don't you and Hickary go inside?" they both bowed to him and headed off into the shadows were an old bomb shelter was, that's were we have all been staying for the past year.
Burkto got so much respect, well he did lead use out of that dreadful facility but... that's not the only reason I envy him so much. I watched Hickary and Lily go. Huh, I felt Burkto's cool hand agenised my cheek he began to wipe my face. "Abikay" he sighed, he looked at me with sadness in his eyes. I felt so unease looking at him but I couldn't bear to blink. "Mm, you know what happens if you lose control, Abikay..." he had such care in his voice. I turned away "why do you pity me so?" I said pushing him away, my love for him may be strong but my hatred for being pitied is even greater.
I walked away. Suddenly he grabbed my arm and pulled me close to him. I turned looked at him, his eyes were red he was staring at my neck; his pearl white fangs glistened in the moonlight. He's going to bit me, I'm not scared but... why is my heart beating so fast, it feels like is trying to break through my chest, why ... why do I feel so hot, he's holding my arm so tight that I can't feel my fingers. My heads thumping, it seems like I'm under water, my vision, everything is fading. The darkness consumed me.
