An Other World
Chapter 2
When I woke up again I looked at my clock next to my bed. It was ten after one. My room was so dark –even during the day from the way we had blankets over the windows- so I figured it was only one in the morning, and that I have only been asleep for a few hours. I yawned as I sat up and tiredly got out of bed. I walked to the bath room and did what I had to do in there. As I walked out of the bath room more awake I saw light coming from out side. I blinked, it wasn't one in the morning it was one in the afternoon, I over slept and missed the bus.
I groaned a little as I walked down the stairs my mom was sitting on her chair. "Sorry mom I didn't mean to over sleep. Why didn't you wake me?"
"Me and your sister tried but you were out cold, and you didn't look so well. And you still don't, you look a little pale. You felling ok?"
"No not really." That wasn't a lie I didn't feel to well I was over tired and still week from last night. After I got a drink I headed back to my room and laid on my bed watching TV, but not before I changed into a tank top as my room was pleasantly warm. Before I knew it I as asleep again, to exhausted to stay awake. Then I was dreaming that I was at the "swimming hole." Talking with Naomi.
"What's troubling you?" Naomi asked as she looked at me.
"I'm trying to figure what Kai is." I said as I stared out at the water. Holding my knees to my chest resting my chin on them. I noticed this was a dream cause everything was different. The sky wasn't blue but a yellow red even though the sun was high and shinning brightly in the sky. The trees and shrub all around was dead and everything thing seemed to have a lifeless appearance to it. I've been here many times when ever I had to talk with Naomi.
"Same here."
"I thought of something."
"And that would be?"
"Well I was thinking. What ever Kai is you might be, since we don't know what you are. Since you lost your memory of your past."
"Why do you think what ever he might be I might be that as well?" She asked looking to me with one brow raised in question.
I looked to her and couldn't help but smile lightly. I adored her for helping me and how she has became an older sister and at how much more beautiful she was then me. "Well for one. You both have pale skin, are fast and stronger then humans. Plus your eyes, you both have the same empty look in them."
"Well you do have a small point there."
"Yeah, I guess I do. I just hope we found out what he is and soon."
"Same here. I would really like to know what he is and where he came from."
When I woke up again it was around five-thirty. I sighed as I sat up and tried to think what day it was. I stared at the TV the only light in the dark room when I had a feeling that someone else was in the room. I knew Amanda wasn't cause I could tell – well Naomi could by peoples aura's she could tell who was near by- but this was a different aura I was getting. I quickly turned on the light to see Kai leaning back against my closet door I jumped when I first saw him.
"What are you doing here?!" I squeaked and glared at him. I was mad that he was here with out me knowing and in my room with out my permission! Damn it, I hardly new this guy and hear he was in my room while I slept!
"I came here to see how you were doing." His face held no expression to it as he looked to me.
"I'm quiet fine. But why do you care how I'm doing?"
"Actually I don't know why I just do," as he said this he looked away. He then looked back at me, "Plus you just looked so drained last night I had to make sure you were ok..."
"Well thanks for caring." I said sarcastically. "But what are you doing in my house, no my room with out me knowing. Have you ever heard of privacy?"
"Yes I have but you were asleep so I didn't think I was really disturbing your privacy."
"You really weren't thinking then cause you were. When people sleep they like to be left alone. Ad how did you get in here with out my mom knowing?"
"She's not home."
"And Amanda?'
"At a friends house, at least that what I think she said." He thought with a bit of a thoughtful expression.
"How long have you been here?" I asked with a glare as I sat up more and pulled to the covers to my chest as I was nothing in a tank top now and didn't like others to see much of my bare imperfect skin.
"Not long… only a few hours. You know you kind of talk in your sleep." He said with a slight smirk and moved closer to the bed.
"Ugh…." I fell back on my bed looking up at the ceiling, the blanket falling down to my waist showing the black tank top and a lot of exposed skin. But I didn't care as I was more embarrassed as what I said while I slept. "What did I say while I slept?" I sighed.
"Not a lot only my name twice." Kai said grinning wide.
"Oh." I flushed a little, - Great now I was saying his name in my sleep. What will happen next? - I sat up and looked at the clock now it was five-forty. I got up and started to look through my clothing. I picked out my baggy cameo-pants and a matching t-shirt that said,
Look at me
now Have
dreams about
me later.
on it. I looked over at Kai as he watched me with amusement in his eyes. "I'll be right back." I turned and left the room swiftly and headed across the small hallway to the bath room. I quickly shut the door behind me and locked it. I was grateful that it now had a lock on it. I turned on the water for the shower and looked at my self in the mirrors before I got in. My mom was right I was a little pale, well paler then normal at least. I shrugged and took my shower. When I was done with the shower and got dressed it was now six-fifteen, or at least that was what the bathroom radio read. When I walked back into my bed room it was all dark. I didn't remember having the lights off, or the TV. But as I was about to turn on the lights something cold grabbed my hand and pulled it away from the switch. The next thing I knew was that I was pulled across the room and was on my bed. I waited till me eyes adjusted to the dark to look up. When I looked up I saw Kais golden eyes looking down at me from the side of my bed.
I was about to say something when Kai put his hand over my mouth so I wouldn't speak. I just glared at him. 'What the hell is going on?!' I asked Naomi quiet furious.
'Its Saris, He's back with a few new friends.' Naomi said. I could tell that she was on alert and that she was distant, like her mind was off in a different place.
'Wait?! Saris is in my house?!' My eyes widen in shock. If he was in my house that was not a good thing, even though my mother and sister was gone I was still worried about my cat.
'No. Outside.'
'Good...' I breathed a sigh of relief and closed my eyes for a while. And when I opened them again Kai was on the other side of the room, and heading out the door in quick easy motions. I quickly sat up and ran out the door. Kai was already out of site. It was dark down stairs, and the only light was coming in through the window from the street light. As I walked down the stairs my kitten or somewhat grown cat – that still acted much like a kitten even though she is close to two years - was running up them, her tail puffed out like a raccoons. - Her tail seemed that a lot when ever she got excited or frightened. - I picked her up as I walked down stairs, but as I neared the kitchen she hissed, scratched my arm bolted back up the stairs to the attic I guessed. I looked down at my arm, it was bleeding a little. – Great just my luck. - I sighed and walked into the back living room. Kai was standing on the other side of the room, all I could see of him was his bright golden eyes and a slight outline of his body from the little light from the street that came in through the window. "Is he gone?' I asked my voice a whisper.
"Yes." Kai said. It sounded like he was out of breath or was breathing heavily?
"Thank goodness." I sighed happily. I steeped closer to him, and he took a step back. I blinked and stood in one spot. "Are you… ok?"
"Yes… and no..." His was now standing next to the window and I could see his face. It had no emotion on it, but his eyes were turning a darker golden now as tiny black circles where forming under his eyes.
"Huh? What do you mean by that?" Tilting my head slightly to the side with one raided brow.
"I mean is that I'm fine –by no injury way- but there's something else." He then looked out the window, his hands where in tight fist and his arms shaking. It looked as if though he was trying to fight the urge to go punch something.
"And what is that something else?"
"It's kind of hard to explain." Kai sighed and closed his eyes. He then turned to look at me. "Did you get cut or something?"
"Uh yeah… my cat scratched my arm a little." I looked down at my arm. "How did you know?"
"Just go wash the blood off… please." He said softly and yet out of breath again.
"Why?"
"I said it's hard to explain. Just do it!" He yelled as his hands went into tight fist again, the knuckles turning white and he turned to look out the window again.
"Fine!! God you don't have to get so bossy." I walked into the kitchen and washed the scratch and dried it off with a towel. I walked back into the other room. "There… happy?" I looked around and Kai wasn't there. I blinked and looked out the window that was now open letting in a cold breeze, making me shiver slightly and the scent of fresh rain filled the room. "I don't think that he… "
"You don't think what?" A voice said from behind me.
I jumped a little and turned around but no one was there. "What the hell!!"
I then heard a chuckling, behind me. I turned around quickly and no one was there again!! "Will you knock it off!! This is getting annoying!!" I yelled as I spun around looking around the room. I stopped and stared at the darkness, and heard the chuckling from yet behind me once again. I growled a little through my teeth.
"Am I getting you pissed?" His voice said in calming matter but held amusement in it.
"Yes you are! So will you knock it off, already!?" I said as I my hands began to form into fists.
"Oh but why? Its fun." He said chuckling still.
"No its not... it annoying!!"
"Awe your no fun." He was now standing right behind me I could feel his warm breath on the back of my neck.
I said nothing I just gritted my teeth.
"Are you still mad?"
"What do you think?" I just stood there staring at the darkness.
"Oh… well I'm sorry." I then felt him wrap his hands around my waist from behind. "I was just having fun."
"Just having fun yeah right…" I sighed and looked down at the floor. "By the way. Why did you tell me to go wash my arm? And what are you?"
"I knew you would ask that." He then let go of my waist and was now stood in front of me.
"So are you going to tell me?" I said looking up at him.
"I rather not… but… you won't stop bugging me until I do…" He sighed heavily.
"Yep. Exactly."
"Ok… well you have to promise me that, one you won't tell anyone of me… I will reveal myself to everyone at the right time and two when I do reveal myself you must not tell them what I really am ok?"
"Ok I promise as long as you don't tell anyone of Naomi."
"Deal. So what do you think I am anyway?"
"I don't know. But what ever you are, Naomi might be too."
"And why do you say that?"
"Well because we don't know what exactly Naomi might be and she is kind of like you in a way.. You both have a lot of the same qualities..."
"How can she or you not know what she is?"
"Well….. It's complicated…." I said looking away to the side, crossing my arms in front of my chest.
"Really?"
"Yes. Really. But to put it in an easy way. Naomi lost her memory." I looked out the window as I tried to think.
Kai didn't say anything so I looked back at him. "You ok?"
"Yea..." I noticed his eyes weren't golden any more they were black and darker circles where under his eyes. "So… what do you think I am?"
"I… don't know…" I sighed a little and looked down at the ground. "I've been trying to figure that out since I first saw you last night…."
He didn't say anything. He just looked at me. I could feel is gaze on me. After a few minutes of silence. I looked up at him. "So… are you going to tell me what you are?"
Kai sighed and looked out the window. "Like I said earlier I rather not…. But it looks like I have no choice." He then looked at me. "Do you believe in vampires, werewolves and all of those, what they call them here… "Mystical creatures"?"
"Well no duh I do. Look at what I have to fight everyday." I looked at him seriously. "What are you getting at?"
"I should have thought you did." He sighed and looked back out the window. "Well… how can I put this…" He then looked at the ground deep in thought. "I'm... what you call… a vampire…"
I blinked. I was a little shocked. "I… would have had never guessed that…." I said softly and looked at him as he looked at me.
"Remember you can't tell anyone."
"I know." I closed my eyes for only a min, to feel him wrap his arm around my waist from behind again. "Why do you keep on doing that for?"
"Doing what?"
"Wrapping your arms around my waist?"
"Oh… well I don't know…"
"How can you not know?" I asked looking back him a little irritated. I didn't like people touching me much unless I got to know them a lot more.
"Easily. I do things with out thinking before I do it or without realizing that I'm doing it..."
"Weird…"
"Weird? How is that weird?"
"It's weird because… well how can I put this... Because guys usually only put there arms around a girls waist when they like that girl… or for other strange reason I don't know about… not just because they don't know why their doing it!"
"Oh… sorry…." He was then leaning his head on my shoulder. "You smell good…" he whispered.
"What?!" I squeaked the word out a little.
"What?"
"What did you just say?"
"Did I say something?" He said looking at me in question. He really didn't have any idea what he had just said.
"Yes!!"
"Oh I didn't even realize that I did."
I sighed and leaned my head back to rest on his shoulder and closed my eyes. 'Wait what am I doing!! Why am I resting my head on his shoulder?'
'I don't know maybe because you're tired'
'I hope so… but I can't be I'm going to the teen center tonight.' I opened my eyes and turned my head to look at the clock. It was now about seven. I then noticed that Kai still had his arms around my waist. "Are you going to let me go or are we just going to be here like this all night…. When I rather be at other places?…" I said the last part very softly.
"I would if I could… I'm just… stuck…"
"How the hell are you stuck?!" I gasped slightly just who was this person.
"I don't know… my body won't move… I think it's drawn to your sent…"
"My sent!! Why would it be drawn to my sent!!"
"Because you're not like the other humans… you have a different... sweeter sent then them…"
'Great… now I have a blood sucker drawn to me and wont let me go!!' "You better not bite me if you're a real vampire!!"
"I'm trying not to… its just… I'm…" He was laying his head on my shoulder now.
"Well if its so hard not to! Let me go then!! Before I do something I don't want to do!!"
"Like what… What could you do to me?" He asked with slight amusement.
"Just think about it… it will defiantly be painful… no matter if you're a vampire or not… you're still a guy…"
"Oh yeah…" Kai slowly let go of me and stood back. I turned to look at him.
"Are you going to be ok?"
"Yea…. I think so..."
"Ok…" I turned and walked to my room and started packing a few things that I might need - like a book, my CD player etc. - incase I got bored while I was at the Teen Center. Kai was standing in the room watching, me as I got ready. I put on my coat and took out my cell phone.
"Who are you calling?" Kai asked as he stood at the door.
"My dad."
"Why?"
"So he can give me a ride down town."
"Why do you need a ride?"
"Well one it's raining and its cold. And two I don't feel like walking."
"Well don't call your dad and don't worry about walking. Meet me out side when you're ready."
I blinked and watched as he walked out the door. "O...kay?" I put my cell back in my pocket and walked out the door locking it behind me. Kai was standing in the middle of the yard, in the rain waiting. I walked over to him.
"Climb on my back and hold on tight."
I froze for a second and looked at him. Was he crazy? It was pouring freezing rain out and he planed on walking? I was about to say no and that I would rather call me dad when he knelt down and said; "Trust me its quicker this way… and you will stay dry…" he grinned.
I then nodded and climbed on his back, wrapping my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist as he stood to his full height. 'What am I doing? I fell like a little kid doing this.' Kai then started running down the street. Everything flew by us like we were driving over the speed limit in a car. I noticed that Kai's breathing was normal and he wasn't breathing heavy like humans would when they ran –but they still couldn't run as fast as we were going. - It felt like we were –in a way- flying down the street. And before I knew it, we were at the back of the Teen Center. As I climbed off Kai's back my head starting spinning a little. I lost my balance for a min but caught it quickly and put my hand to my head. "Wow head rush…"
"You ok?" he said putting his hands on my shoulders and his eyes full of excrement, worry and some other emotion I still couldn't figure out.
"Yep just fine." I started walking to the front of the Center. I noticed that Kai wasn't following. Actually he was no were around. I just shrugged and walked into the Teen Center. I was greeted by a few of my friends as soon as I walked in, as always.
I hoped you enjoyed the second chapter. I hope you don't mind it being so long, but I actually cut this one shorter so the third one would be longer. O.o well anyway tell me what you think please. R&R
