Chapter 43
When I opened my eyes again I was somewhere I had been before, the room was like a child's to un-observant eyes, but as you looked closer around the room you could see sophistication. On the shelf of CDs there was a fluffy feather boa decorating the shelf edges which drew the eyes attention, but if you looked closer at the CDs themselves you would see things like 50 cent and Evanescence, who ever room this is, they are seriously mixed up. "And here is your dinner" Damon said in my head. As I cast my eyes over the sleeping girl, then I remembered where I was, Sian's house and to be more precise, Sian's bedroom. Then I remembered this afternoon's fight with her and how I had declared her hatred in front of the whole geography class. I blushed with the memory especially all the other things that I had said in front of the whole geography class. Sian was asleep in her bed, she seemed peaceful. "Go on then, take her" Damon said in my head. I extended my canine teeth once again, this time with more need than enthusiasm and took a deep bite into the sleeping girl's neck. I used mind powers to stop her from waking. As I was draining her blood I could see her dream, Sian was at school and it was a lunch time and she was sitting with Cat and I and we were all in a big circle and we were all laughing and joking together, like we used to do before everything went wrong.
I drained every bit of blood from Sian, then as I withdrew from her, I realised what I had just done, I had killed. I was a murderer.
"Well done" Damon congratulated in my head "now I have to take you somewhere for you to rest" Damon picked me up and turned us invisible and flew out of the window.
Damon flew me through the town; the lights from the windows gave out a spooky translucent glow. I felt at peace myself as I senesced all the town's people slowly dropping off to sleep; they were to lie in a peaceful land of dreams and happiness until the next gruelling day started.
Eventually Damon reached a boarded up warehouse on the edge of the industrial estate, he landed and led me through the rotting wooden door. I was surprised that my eyes could see so well in this darkened warehouse .The warehouse was quiet, and it was at a part of town where people rarely go anymore, it was the perfect hideout for a vampire. Damon led me up a ladder at the far end of the warehouse; at the top of the ladder there was a platform, where the only thing on it was a single bed. Damon lay me down on the bed. He searched under the pillow on the bed for a moment, then he pulled his hand out and handed me a golden necklace with the symbol of eternity that has a heart in the middle as the necklace's pendant. "this is a talisman, it is the only thing that stops a vampire dying from exposure to sunlight, so when you wear this, you can go out in the sun as much as you want, but you have to be careful because everyone thinks that you are dead, so wait for me here so that I can take us away from this sordid little English town" said Damon with a loving voice.
"Of course my love" I said sleepily, and then I closed my eyes and fell asleep dreaming of Damon.
