I hope everyone is enjoying the story I'd love some reviews : )
Edward sat next to me sipping his coffee telling me some story but honestly I wasn't listening. I was too busy staring into his eyes and nodding my head every few minutes to pretend I was paying attention.
Most girls in our clan loose their virginity at age 13 but I on the other hand am still waiting. I think my family thinks there's something wrong with me. But I need to find the right person and God this boy was looking pretty tasty right now…
"So how old are you?" he asked me putting down his coffee shaking me out of my trance.
"Umm oh I'm seventeen and what about yourself?" I replied batting my eyes at him.
He noticed and smiled at me.
"I'm seventeen also."
I glanced outside and the rain had stopped and people were now refilling the streets. I looked over to the clock that said 9:30. Crap I needed to get home. But I don't think I could ever unglue myself from this spot.
"Listen, it's getting late would you like me to walk you home?" He asked me standing up.
Duh. I want you to walk me home but how on earth would I be able to not give away where I live?
"How about I walk you home?" I smiled
"Ok that's fine" He gave me this crooked little smile and I swear my knees almost gave out.
We walked through the café and out the door to the little street in front of us.
"Which way?" I asked
"Follow me" and he grabbed my hand pulling me to the left.
Most of the shops were closing now and people started to go home. As we walked I looked around at all of the beautiful houses. I wish I could live up here instead of hiding underground. Sure I love my home but to be here with him would be amazing.
As we strolled he started to hum a little tune. The houses got smaller and smaller and we turned onto a road called Covington. This part of the neighborhood I wasn't used to it made me a little nervous. There were lots of dark alleyways were people could easily disguise themselves in the dark.
We finally arrived at a little white and run down house.
"This is it," He said pulling out his keys "Would you like to come in?"
I couldn't let myself I don't know what I would do and how vulnerable I would be in front of him.
"No thank you I have to be going my parents will be worried."
They might send out the guards. That would be embarrassing.
"Ok...will I see you again Clarice?"
"Depends…would you like to see me again Edward?"
He smiled at me
"Yes very much so. Meet me here tomorrow at 6 ok?"
"I'd love that." I said
"Goodnight" he responded
"Goodnight" I smiled.
Tonight is a most wonderful night I thought to myself not making my back up Edward's street.
I then felt something was wrong. Very wrong.
I turned around to see Edward hunched over his brick steps clutching his stomach.
I ran over to him as fast as I could.
"Are you alright? What happened?"
"Some man grabbed me by the ankles and punched me in the stomach and stole my money. He was hiding behind those bushes," He said as he pointed over to the bushes near his front door.
I've never felt myself get so angry. I let go of Edward and started down his street. I could slightly see a figure there in the shadows.
"Excuse me?" I called out to him "I'd like a word with you please"
The man halted "What are you going to do pretty little lady? Kill me?"
He chuckled at me enough to show me his teeth.
Vampire.
In that instant I threw off my trench coat and revealed my wings.
He looked up at me in awe
"Princess…I didn't recognize you"
"Shut up you filthy Vamp" I yelled
I had now take flight and was circling above him and with one swoop I dropped down and had the vampire unconscious.
I rummaged through his pockets and grabbed Edward's money.
I turned to walk up the street to return Edward's money but there was a body in my way.
I bumped right into Edward.
His jaw was opened and he started at me awed.
"Clarice…. what just…why did…. are those wings?" he managed to stammer at me
Shit.
"Come on let's go inside." I said leading him to his front steps.
I could have let him there and never told him the truth I know people would never believe him But as he looked into my eyes. I couldn't. I couldn't leave and I didn't want to leave.
