I haven't written in this story in forever. Wow. Finally Updating though.
( Cartlia's POV)
There was soft breeze in the air as I made my way through the streets. I know where I'm going, but maybe I'm a bit lost. I usually have great sense of smell, though with all the pollen in the air, I can hardly breath.
I hear someone, footsteps ,and their smell is so strong it makes me gag. I hate the smell of vampires. It wretched. They smell good at some sense, if they are well groomed. But their natural musk is awful. Imagine smelling a garbage can, then adding sewage too it. I wouldn't want that as my air freshener.
My sister's vampire musk is all over the house. Only I can smell it. My parent's think I'm germ phobic because I've been spraying down the house with Lysol.
I hear swift movement behind me. I bit my lip. Definitely a Vampire.
It was about to strike, The moment I caught it move towards, I spun around and moved my hands forward to block it from me.
A small light flashed. I caught sight of the vampire. One of the ones Seri had started to hang out with. Hayden.
He seemed shocked when I blocked him.
Vampires are tricky, they can be hard to read sometimes, sometimes not. This one made his surprise evident to me. He thought I was just some random teenager walking alone at night. One that would make a great meal or a good appetizer.
His face tensed. He tried to attack again, but I blocked it. There was maybe some slight fear in my eyes. He was stronger than me, He was a bit faster than me. The only way I could block a few of these attacks was because he was using basic.
If he really wanted to fight me, and win he would use a bit more advance.
He was surprised again.
" are you trained in self defense or something ? " He asked coldly.
I quivered a bit inside my skin.
" why won't answer " He snarled. His fangs were evident to see.
I lowered my defenses.
" What?" He cocked a grin. " are you that stupid, You'd lower your defenses to let a vampire have you?".
I cocked my own grin. " You know the warning. One drop of my blood is poison " The look on his face was priceless. I guess I received a death glare of hatred after that, but I never looked to find out.
I ducked away and ran Into the night or to my family ( my birth family )and friends.
Evalina was the first to greet me. She brushed the branches out of my hair and the dirt off of my jacket.
" Cartlia Aaylen Gernia Endrey Vernulians " She laughed. " Cage, You look exhausted ". Cage was the nickname my other family called me. They knew my full name and always pronounced it.
" That's because I am " I gasped to my cousin. She rolled her eyes. We were heading towards the cave where the rest of out pack was.
" I had a run in with a vampire " I hesitantly told her.
Eva jerked my arm as I tried to move forward.
" Are you hurt, did he try to bite you ? " She asked.
I nodded my head. " I reminded him about my blood being poison to him".
Eva dropped my arm, and growled." You Told Him You Who You Were ! " She shrieked while whispered. Her face turned red as if she was about to strangle me. " Do you realize how much danger you just put yourself into? Your parents have gone to great lengths and bent backwards to make sure you are alive when its your turn to take over the pack ? and you just go off and tell a vampire you're a werewolf".
I felt completely stupid. I have no common sense. Grrrr! " I didn't tell him I was a werewolf princess, Only that I was a werewolf. ".
" Why ? " Eva demanded." If your parents or any of the elders find out, do you realize how badly they'll punish you. And worse me for I'm the one who was given the charge of protecting you ".
" It was Hayden, " I explained.
If Eva could get anymore livid at me.
" We're Sworn Enemies to them, Cage " She gasped. " You can't like him, and he'll never like you".
" I know " I whispered back to her. We slowly made our way to the cave where the others were. I'm sure My adopted parents were started to get worried, or maybe they weren't. Either way Why should I care? They had no choice in raising me.
