Chapter 3: Holocaust
It's Friday and I asked Scott(Alexis's dad)if I could spend the night tomorrow. He agreed to my plead and gave me the directions so I could get to his house.
Arriving there wasn't so hard. I remembered a few of the places and his directions were easy to understand. Before I knocked, Alexis was already at the door. She gave me a great big hug. I waved my mom goodbye after I had left her the directions.
I went through the same routine of finding the best spot to set my backpack. I was really excited but I had to remember that I had a few pieces of homework.
"Hey, Alexis! I'm sorry but I have some homework to test your patience. The sooner I get it done the more we can run around." I tried to tell Alexis. She scolded at me and went to her room. "I won't be long." I think that the part where I said 'to test your patience' made her really mad.
I cracked open my algebra book and when I finished I was finished with everything. I climbed her stairs and strolled to her room. "Hey, Alexis. I'm done. Want to play outside?" She nodded happily and we played and chatted and ran all over the place. Soon it was dark and I hadn't noticed. "Hey, lets stay outside until dinner!" I suggested in a high voice. The door swung open and Janet(Alexis's step mom)peered outside.
"Time for dinner." She told us.
"Sorry about that." I apologized to Alexis.
"That's alright." She reassured me. "We can come outside and chat after dinner, or we can go on Doll Wizard."
I couldn't believe that it was night already. After dinner we stayed inside and went to Doll Wizard on the internet. It was so close to bed time and I wanted to fill it with fun stuff.
Eventually we settled down in bed. I slept on the, more comfortable than a bed, couch like always. Whenever I slept on the couch I always wake up early and happy, plus, Alexis doesn't try so hard to wake me up. I also get a chance to eat breakfast. Anyway, I'm on the couch looking up the history of Halloween on the laptop. I get tired so I quit for the night. I place the laptop back in it's place in Scott's office. I lay on the couch for a split second, then I hear voices coming from Alexis's room. I hear her and a girl and two men. I freeze.
He's really real. I tell myself. I decide to check it out so I slowly get off the couch and up the stairs so I wouldn't make any noise. When I get to the door I hear Alexis telling one that I'm hear and that he should see me, that I'm disbelieving, but the man rejects. I noisily open the door a crack and then someone swings it open with such velocity. I guessed Lance(Alexis's vampire). His lips were pulled back and he was growling like a dog.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He snapped at me.
"Alexis!" I whimpered. She pushed under his arm. I realized my jaw was unhooked and snapped it closed. She stood between me and him. I peered over his shoulder and saw the vampire in my dream. I saw Tao, except his eyes were golden. He didn't look over at Lance, but he stayed where he stood.
"Is that Tao?" I asked shakily. Lance turned and looked at Tao who was now looking at Lance.
"You don't know me yet." I said shaky again. "I'm Kaylee, or Kitten, and I think Alexis told you about me." my voice descended at the end but was getting pretty normal. Lance and Alexis moved onto the bed to where me and Tao just stared at each other. I held my breath.
Does he really like me? I asked myself. In a split second he was in my face. I realized again my mouth was open but only because he closed it for me.
"I almost stopped believing in you." I told him. He took my already freezing hand and kissed it lightly, not taking his eyes off me.
"I'm so sorry. You hadn't ben here in a long time so I couldn't follow your scent." He explained. I remembered that I put the bracelet I was trying to give to him in my backpack. I forgot about the starring eyes that were upon us. I slipped my hand out of his.
"I'll be right back. Please wait here." I told him. He nodded his beautiful head. I turned and lightly jogged to my backpack at the bottom of the stairs. I reached into the smallest pocket and pulled out the bracelet. I ran upstairs, and walked into the doorway of Alexis's room. Surprisingly he stayed in the exact same place. I stopped in front of him to read his face. I took his hand and placed it palm up in mine. I carefully placed the black bracelet in his hand and curled his fingers around it.
"I want you to have this. It's that same as mine." I held out my left wrist and showed him the bracelet. "Now you can have my scent and follow me home like a kitten."
"Like a you?" He asked sarcastically. He smiled at me and lifted the bracelet to his nose to smell it. "Your right Kitten." He said in a happy tone. "It does smell like you." I didn't know what to do but he did. He carefully pulled me into him and kissed my forehead.
"You do know that we have watchful eyes." I reminded him. He pressed his face in my short head.
"Do you want a lift?" He asked.
"A what?" I asked, but before I could open my eyes he cradled me in his arms like in my dream that faithful night. He put his foot on the railing.
"Remember this?" he asked. I recalled to the dream where he jumps out the window with me. I nod once and he jumps over the rail. I held my scream and snapped my eyes shut. In a few seconds we were on the ground and I hadn't noticed yet.
"You can open your eyes now." he whispered in my ear. I opened them and we were still alive. He turned around and placed me on the couch, like in the snow but warmer. He took off his jacket and placed it on me. It was a long leather one that went down to my ankles. I stared in shock as he copied the dream, but his eyes were golden and there would be no dead bodies left. I remembered at the end when he left me in the snow but this was as far in the dream he got. He took the bigger blanket and covered me and his jacket.
"Now sleep, my Kitten." He whispered in my ear. My eyes got heavy and then in a second, I was asleep.
