Restraint

Why? Why did I kiss her? Friends don't kiss. Right? I just... I lost all restraint. I could have killed her. No I have much more control than that. I could have easily let my secret out. Just by kissing her. I licked my lips, My fangs elongated in hunger. I stood up flipped the tv off and headed up to my room. In truth I wish Shiki was here. He and rRima had gone home to model for a week. I reached into my desk and pulled out my case of blood tablets. I searched for a cold bottle of water and let it disolve. I hunted for my cellphone. Where was it? Found it! I qucikly dialed Shiki's number and waited.

"Hello?" Shiki asked into the phone.

"Hey Shiki." I replied.

"Takuma whats wrong?" He asked. I sighed.

"You know that girl Rowan that I'm friends with?"

"Yes." He replied sounding bored. I began my whole story from a week ago Shiki agreeing into the phone.

"So you're in love with her?" He asked. I huffed.

"I don't know but I know that I want her." I blurted. He gave me a hasty goodbye saying that he had a shoot and hung up. I plopped down on my bed. The summer was coming to a close and fall was approaching. I decided to go over to Rowans house she should be asleep by now. Maybe she likes that new teenage craze twilight. If I watched her sleep maybe she'd fall for me like Bella did Edward.

I opened my blinds Rowan's house was pitch black. I felt like a creeper. Eh Rowan will like it. I walked over to Rowans house; Well I creeped over. I could see her bedroom window. Of course the biggest tree was in my way. I slid up into the branches. My shirt caught on of the branches; successfully tearing a couple of long rips in it. Rowan's window was open and I lunged in. My feet landed lightly on the wooden floors. I looked at Rowan. Rowan's curly brown curls were fanned out on her pillow, Her eyelashes lightly touching her face. I sighed she was so cute, she had the covers up to her shoulders and was curled on her side. I walked cautiously to her bed. She looked so peaceful. I sat down my arms wrapping around her. I watched her for a moment before breathing in. Rowan stirred I tensed up.

"Takuma?" She breathed. I was quiet for a moment. She looked behind her.

"Holy Shit!, What the Hell are you doing here!" She screeched. I rolled off her bed. Rowan scrambled out the covers catching her feet as she stood up. She began to fall I reflexively caught her and she scrambled against me. "What are you doing in my room!" She asked loudly.

"I thought maybe um." I said and stopped.

"Look you're being a serious creeper!" She said I looked at her hurt. She sighed

"I'm sorry I thought I'd be like Edward." I said sheepishly. She looked at me incredulously.

"Edward, Like Edward Cullen?" Rowan questioned. I looked at her again my eyes hopeful.

"Yes do you like Edward?" I asked hopefully. Rowan giggled.

"I love Edward Cullen." Rowan said sarcasticly. My face fell. Suddenly a rumble of thunder dwelled in the now quieted room.

"So why did you want to be like Edward Cullen?" She asked softly. I sat down on her bed.

"Well, I like you and I thought since everyone loved Edward you would." I said lying back. She sat down beside me.

"I dont like people like him. I like you." She murmured and layed down. We sat like that for awhile. Just sitting there. The quiet atmosphere calming. I could hear Rowan's slow breathing as she fell asleep.


September 21st

Rowan and I were walking home from school, The fall breeze lifting those gentle mahogany curls.

"Rowan?" a male voice called. We turned. A blur of black captured Rowan. The figure pulled back and looked at Rowan. He had coal black hair and dark green eyes.

"Madoxx?" Rowan asked looking at him. Takuma felt a pang of jealousy. I put my arms around Rowan. Of course this Madoxx character gave him a look.

"Is this your boyfriend?" He asked. Takuma smiled. Rowan nodded.

"Its so good to see you." She said and smiled.

"Hello I am Takuma Ichijo." I said holding my hand out. Madoxx took it shaking it lightly.

"Well I better be off." Madoxx said walking past me.

"I will end you vampire." Madoxx whispered in his ear. Madoxx waved at Rowan and I and headed off.

"I don't like him." I said aloud.

"Why?" Rowan asked. She gave me a small look.

"I think he's trying to kill me." I murmured. Rowan laughed.

"who would want to kill you? You're the sweetest vampire ever." She said and hugged me. I nodded and smiled. I was still worried about that Madoxx character.
