Ok So I made a REALLY embarrassing mistake yesterday in chapter 5. I was so tired I just wanted to post the chapter and be done with it. lol so the song is Static Revenger & Richard Vission ft. LUCIANA 'I Like That'. Lol instead I put "look up" that was a reminder for myself so yea. Sorry about that. The link got cut off for this ms swan fr whatever reason but its just called Ms Swan ATM
I felt Kimberly pulling my arm there way and I took a deep breath. Suck it up Cleo, you can do this. I told myself words of encouragement. Wait, its not like I'm scared of anyone or anything…so why am I acting like this? I got my wits together and held my head up high. By now that hideous bruise was gone and I would get my revenge soon enough. Alex looked me up and down and Blonde looked like she could scratch my face off. Stephen was staring at e, Kimberly was looking around for her date I guess and Vanessa was staring at Alex. The silence between us was unbearable so I spoke up.
"So before we hit the dance floor, I want something to drink, how about you guys?" everyone nodded and we started walking towards the bar.
Everyone got up on the stools and waited for the bartender to finish up with his other customers. He stared and Blonde then me and Stephen snapped his fingers in his face. Blonde leaned over the counter revealing her cleavage to the bartender. I swear I saw drool come from the side of this mouth.
"Whore" I mumbled as quietly as possible. Blonde shot daggers my way and Alex rolled his eyes although I pretty sure it wasn't because of what I said.
Everyone ordered there drinks except for me, since I didn't want to drink anything, I only said it to break the silence. I observed the club and realized with surprise, there were a few vampires here and there. Most of them were buys but when I finally found at least like four vampire girls they all looked like sluts. Wearing skirts that were so short you could see the underwear they were wearing beneath it every time the walked took one step.
"What a disgrace" I said to myself.
"WHAT?" Vanessa yelled over the music.
"Nothing!" I yelled back.
The song ended and a few people left the dance floor to get something to drink to rest but it was still crowded. A vampire started walking my way and I turned around in the stool facing Kimberly who was still looking frantically looking for her date. Oh no. I walked over to Vanessa and Stephen and grabbed their hands.
"Well were not going to sit here all day are we?" I said.
They smiled and I dragged them to the middle of the dance floor dance floor. Everyone was standing and talking waiting for a new song to come on. Then The Anthem came on by Pitbull and like waves moving bodies rippled across the dance the floor. I started moving first since Vanessa was just standing there like an idiot and Stephen was already occupied with some random chick. In three seconds she was dancing with me and we were moving together. Technically we were grinding on each other, don't get e wrong, I'm not a lesbian. Just a teen trying to have fun. I dropped down and when I came back up someone's hand were on my waist. I turned my head to see Stephen dancing on me from behind and Vanessa was right in front of me. Then Kimberly came from nowhere and was behind Vanessa and I guess her date finally showed up and he was behind her. The girl Stephen was dancing with before was now behind him. It kept building off of that, and I was stuck in the middle. I squeezed out and went back to the bar where Alex and Blonde were still sitting in their stools staring at the moving bodies. I turned to Alex, having no intention of talking to Blonde.
"You know you're suppose to dance, not sit here all night".
"I don't dance" he said stiffly.
"You don't dance or you don't know how to dance?" I asked.
"This isn't a dance, its sex on a dance floor" I laughed at his reply.
"Call it what you like" I said and the song ended. Vanessa came out of the crowd of people and walked toward us.
"Wow Cleo, you really started something back their" she said "I'm going to back when the next song comes on, you?"
"Yea, why not".
Vanessa looked at Alex and smiled evilly. Then she looked at Blonde and frowned, then back to Alex.
"Your coming with us when the next song comes on, weather you like it or not" she said, set on what she wanted. I looked at Alex to see what his reaction was. Surprised, but then to my surprise he gave a tiny nod. The Dj announced the next song would be in 5 minutes. Vanessa started talking to Alex.
"So you got a girlfriend?" she asked. Alex stole a look at Blonde so quick only vampire eyes would catch.
"No" he said. W-what? I saw Blonde's face turn a bright red. Now Vanessa looked surprised. She leaned and whispered into his ear, oblivious to the fact that we could here everything.
"So then who's the blond chick? She follows you around like a lost puppy and clings to you like a leech. Plus her hands are all over you! Not that I have any interest in you. I mean your hot and all but I got my eyes on someone else." At this he smiled and whispered into her ear.
"She is a body guard that has become to comfortable. Sad to say I keep forgetting to keep her in check."
Oh damn, rejected.
They all looked at me and I realized I had said that out loud.
"Sorry"
"The song starts in about a minute, come on guys" She took be and Alex and dragged us back to the dance floor.
"So have you ever danced before?" Vanessa asked Alex. He looked around and nodded no.
"Oh, well don't trip, we girls do all the dancing haha! Well I leave that up to you Cleo! I'm go dance with some guy I met! Tootles!" she said and left. I stared at her in shock. I looked at Alex and he was looking at me. Then of all of a sudden Lollipop came on by Lil Wayne. Awkward…
"Umm…you can go. I don't know why she did that." I told him and turned to go when he grabbed my hand and pulled me so that my back was against him.
"You scared?" he asked a smirk on his face.
"You're so full of yourself" I mumbled, well aware how close are bodies were.
I guess he thought I would faint in his arms 'cause when I started moving against him he froze completely. I snorted and next thing I knew his hands were on my waist. The song was finally over and Club Can't Handle me came by Flo Rida came on and I saw Vanessa come bouncing my way. Have of the club was singing the song and we joined in.
"You know I know how,To make em stop and stare as I zone out,The club can't even handle me right now
Watchin you I'm watchin you we go all out, the club can't even handle me right now".
I hadn't realized I was still moving with Alex and Vanessa looked up at him then e and winked. I rolled my eyes and she laughed.
"Bring ya body here let me switch up the atmosphere, Take you up out of this club and in my new limo
Fly you all around the world, What you want baby girl
Are you ready to go now!"
When the song was over I wondered where Kimberly was.
"Vanessa have you seen Kimberly?"
"Nope! She was with that guy though and I saw him not to long ago. Hey I'm going to go sit at a table or something because people are sweating all over me, ick!"
"Oh" I said stupidly and watched as she left.
Alex was still holding me even though the music stopped and I just stood there feeling retarded. Just then Blonde came pushing everyone in her way through the crowd, and she did not look happy. I tried to break away from him but wouldn't let me. I looked up at him with pleading eyes but he was glaring at Blonde. Other vampires were starting to stare, hell even humans were paying attention.
"What do you think you are doing?" she hissed.
"Mind your own damn bui-"
"Risa, go wait for me at the bar, go" he said, she looked at him like he was crazy.
"You can't be serious?" I heard her say as she turned away.
I looked up at his just in time to see his eyes turn from red back to their usual color. He let go of me and walked back to the bar. He dragged her outside and I followed silently, even though it wasn't really necessary since the music was so loud. It got quieter and they were near the parking lot. I kept my distance but was close enough to hear and see everything. Blonde kissed Alex unexpectantly and he pushed her back.
"What's wrong with you?" she asked.
"You! Why do you keep acting like I'm your boyfriend!" he yelled at her. My eyes widened at the harshness in his voice.
"You told me you wanted me!" Blonde said and I could tell she was on the verge of tears. Wow.
"Well I don't, so don't touch or talk to me in any way that might indicate that we are together". Heartbreaker…
"It's because of Cleo isn't it! You like her! You like her!" she screamed at the top of her lungs and I had to cover my ears. "You said she wouldn't come between us! That you would get the marriage over with and we could be together! You told me!"
"I like her? You are crazy, I would never want to be with you. You're a whore, end of story. Now I will not be needing your acquaintance from now on. If you choose to stick around do not get in my way".
"You'll be sorry" and with that she turned and walked away into the darkness.
M-marriage? Alex came to get my hand in marriage? Haha no f-ing way. It's impossible, there are plenty of other vampires who are beautiful, me? Yeah maybe amongst the human I was pretty good looking but among the vampires…I think I'm pretty ordinary. It's impossible. Maybe there's another Cleo but then what are the odds of another girl named Cleo. Or maybe I heard incorrectly, I certainly wouldn't want to marry a hot, sexy, gorgeous, tall, prince. No, stop it! Bad Cleo! Bad!
I saw Alex started walking back inside the club and I ran back in. It would be absolutely horrible if I got caught eavesdropping. Stephen was walking outside getting a cigarette lit, he smiled when I passed him and I nodded. I suddenly felt tired and went back out to the car, being sure to avoid Alex and Stephen. I picked the lock of the car climbed in and soon fell asleep.
. . .
I was being shook and I saw Kimberly over me.
"We're home, come on get up, you know I cant pick you up".
We're home? Already? How long was I asleep? Oh well, I had fun…sort of.
I got out the car and realized I was at my house. I turned and waved goodbye to everyone else and went around the back to climb up my tree and into my room. Why have I been so exhausted lately, I'm a vampire…Vampire's don't need sleep. Against my will I fell asleep again.
. . .
My alarms clock woke me up and I through it against the wall and heard it shatter into pieces. Great…today is Monday and I get to go to school. I took a shower put on some clothes and Sarah dropped me off at school. Caren was talking to Brian and Vanessa had an annoyed expression on her face. I walked up to them.
"Hey guys" I greeted but Caren only rolled her eyes and kept talking to Brian who said hi back but looked uncomfortable. Vanessa took my arm and lead me away from them.
"What's her problem?" I asked.
"She's mad because she wasn't invited to dance last night with us and she just got done telling me how she had nothing to do all night so now she's ignoring all of us except for Brandon and Brian."
"What? I wasn't even going to go! It was a last minute notice and same with you. It's not like we planned this for a long time trying to secretly hide it from her". Sometimes Caren would just overreact to stupid little things.
"That's what I tried telling her but she is being so stubborn and trying to get Brian to ignore us to. I was never a really big fan of Caren anyway. I only hung out with her because you hung out with her".
I avoided Caren all day and when the bell dismissed us from school me and Vanessa started to walk to her house when we heard Caren call our names.
"Hey you guys wait, I've decided that I'm no longer mad at you so lets head over my house. Well I don't know about you Vanessa but Cleo can come. My parents don't know you so sorry".
Caren was trying to get me to ditch Vanessa… I looked at Vanessa and she was looking at me waiting for my answer.
"You can't just decide you're not mad at us anymore. I'm still mad at you and I will not go over to your house."
I took Vanessa's arm and we walked away. I felt bad for telling Caren off but she didn't really think friendship was that easy did she? When we arrived at her house I could tell something wasn't right.
"Vanessa are your parents home?" I asked.
"There always in and out of the house probably on some business trip or something".
"Oh."
When we opened the door a horrible stench hit us both. Vanessa went outside and vomited while I held me breath, Vanessa put her shirt over nose and mouth. I recognized the smell immediately…it was decaying bodies.
"I had smelt it yesterday but I thought It was a skunk or something ew."
The smell was coming from the bathroom and I feared for who I might find. I started walking towards it but Vanessa beat me to it. A high pitched scream pierced my ears and I ran into the bath room. Lying on the floor were Vanessa's parents each of their throats were slit. Vanessa was now screaming and sobbing at the same time and I held her for comfort. I put her on the couch and grabbed the house phone dialing 911. I gave them Vanessa's address and explained the situation. I walked back into the bathroom and noticed something I didn't notice before, there was a piece of paper under Vanessa's Dad's shirt. Took it and opened it and in little letters it read:
Ha! Didn't see that one coming did you? If you really don't want anyone to get hurt,Cleo, then meet me at your school on Saturday at midnight.
I stared at the note and read it over and over again. Should I go? I mean whoever did this shit is dead serious. I stared at the note for two more minutes and made up mind. The doorbell rang and I saw the police outside they asked us questions and I had to answer most of them since Vanessa was still sobbing. Finally after about an hour of questions they left.
"Whoever you are, you better be on your top game when I meet you."
