Chapter 41
I don't know how long I have been in here, but I heard the end of the day bell go a long time ago and just now the cleaner left, so I decide to get out of these disgusting toilets and to get some fresh air to clear my head. I hope the storm is not still raging outside. I sneaked out of the building behind the cleaner's back then I watched her as she rushed to her car and drove off. The storm was still raging overhead.
After I watched the cleaner drive off, I started to feel alone again which made me think of how Damon would never be mine. I wandered into the playground, right into the centre, I was still crying, but more softly now, now huge great sobs. As I stood in the centre of the playground I heard myself yelling "Damon" at the top of my voice, it was a desperate cry for help, to start a new life. "Damon" I cried again. Still he didn't come, but I expected him to. "Damon" I tried once more. I waited a few seconds in hope, and then as he didn't come, I fell to my knees and whispered in a final desperate plea "Damon".
Then I heard a voice behind me "you called?" I turned my head as fast as I could. It was Damon. A look of amazement must have been on my face, because he said "what?" with a confused laugh. My brain had switched on just before he came, so now I was trying to find a logical way of how he could have known that I was calling him. He then said as if he knew what I was thinking "you know how I got here so quickly, deep down you know" he looked at me meaningfully. Then I started thinking, was what happened in my dream real is he really a vampire? "Of course I am" said Damon, his lips were not moving though, he was sending me the message in his head. Well maybe it is true I thought. The Damon spoke again, this time out loud. "Your fury, your anger and your strength, I need it, I need you" then his canine teeth extended and he stroked my throat with a loving want. "I could make you my queen of the night Sandra, we could have everything, we could be so strong by feeding from the weak, and we could be together for all eternity."
I moved my hair aside for him and said "I hate this life without you I need you" with that he bent his neck to my throat, at first he caressed my throat, then he started to feed, I felt his teeth as they pierced my skin, but it was not painful as before, it felt nice to give. Damon held my body in his arms as he drew blood from me, then when he had finished, he made a cut in his wrist and told me to drink, I had an overpowering feeling of want for his blood, I drank with pleasure, thirstily as I wanted more from him, I would never have thought that blood would have tasted so good. Then after I had had enough blood to make the change, Damon prised me off him and asked me in my head if I was ready. Suddenly a feeling of dread came over me as I thought that once I did this I would have to leave my family, my friends, the sunlight and my life." Damon I…" but he had already seen my doubt.
"I thought you wanted this!" he cried in anger, I could see the pain in his eyes, a pain of betrayal.
"I just need to set things straight in my life first, then you can have me" I pleaded.
"I don't want to play games with you I don't even know why you are thinking about that pathetic excuse for a vampire cousin of mine, I thought you wanted power, I thought you wanted glory, I thought you wanted me"
How had he known she was thinking about Jake? "Damon its you that I love"
"Then why are you still thinking about him!?! Forget it I don't have time for this, I'm going to take out the competition" with that he changed into a jet black wolf and he ran off into the night in the direction of the woods.
