Chapter 3
Amber Eyes
~Asami's POV~
I couldn't believe what I had just done. I got out of the shower and put my pj's on then crawled in my bed. I wanted to taste his blood. I had wanted it so bad. I didn't understand. The whole vampire theory was starting sound more and more real. I was hardly able to stop and run away. I think what snapped me out of whatever happened out there was that he was so damn good looking. He had called after me but I ignored him. I tried to fall asleep but I just couldn't.
The next morning I got up and got dressed in one of my favorite outfits, a cute black dress with matching black boots. I curled my hair and put a pretty bow clip in it and put on my makeup. I smiled in the mirror and tried to block out what had happened last night. I jumped in my car and picked Korra up from her house, like every morning before school.
I didn't know how to tell her about last night, or if I even should. It sounded crazy, running out of my house attacking some guy out of the blue. Probably better to keep that to myself, at least for now.
The same word kept running through my head no matter how bad I tried to block it out. Blood. I hoped I wouldn't see any of it today. Maybe I was crazy; I mean it had to be only in my head. There was no way I was actually craving blood.
And yet, I couldn't get it out of my head. Vampire. Yeah right, there was no way I was one or transitioning or whatever to be one. Tahno wasn't a vampire either. Vampires aren't real; they are made up human walking creatures in the made up supernatural world. Definitely not real. I kept thinking this to myself as I drove us to school. I switched on the radio and I found one of mine and Korra's favorite songs playing. She turned it up and we sang and rocked out till we got to school.
When we walked in the school doors I saw him, the guy I had attacked yesterday. As we walked past him, I saw him looking at me out of the corner of my eye.
"Hey, wait up," I heard him say behind me. I froze and slowly turned around. Korra looked at him too and murmured to me "He's cute." He walked up to us and Korra said she'd meet me later. I wished she'd stayed; I didn't want to talk to him.
"Hey." I said.
"Are you the girl I saw yesterday?"
"I don't think so. I don't remember seeing you yesterday, sorry." I smiled and turned and started walking away. He recognized me; I resisted the urge to run.
"What's your name?" I heard him call after me. I stopped and looked over my shoulder.
"Asami."
"I'm Iroh, I'm sorry about yesterday."
~Iroh's POV~
Asami Sato.
I knew I'd seen her before. I wondered why she said she didn't remember seeing me. I watched as she walked away down the hallway, and caught up with her friend. I couldn't stop thinking about her after what had happened yesterday; after all it was very weird. Why had she run away?
"Hey Roh, what's up man?" I turned see my best friend Mako walking toward me.
"Not much."
"I saw you talking to Asami, asking her out?" He said teasingly.
I groaned. "No, I saw her yesterday when I was walking home. She grabbed me from behind and I almost hit her thinking it was some thug. I wanted to apologize."
He looked surprised. "You almost hit a girl walking home?" He laughed.
"Yeah, glad I stopped in time." I almost had hit her. That would have been bad.
"You ready for the game this afternoon? We're gonna wreck the Buzzard Wasps. They don't have a chance. He was referring to our football game after school. Mako is the quarterback and I'm running back. Our team is pretty good, we usually win every game. Our team is called the Fire Ferrets.
"Coach wants you to see him in his office before the game."
"Oh great, he probably wants to drill me and pound me to the ground." I said. Mako laughed.
~Korra's POV~
Asami had practically run after me when I left her in the hallway. I would have figured she would have flirted with him at least a little.
"You ditched me?" She said laughing nervously.
"Well of course, he's pretty cute I thought you should talk to him." I said with a wink. Iroh was her type of guy, or at least looks wise. Actually I wanted her to find someone to go on a double date with me. I met this really nice guy at my favorite café shop.
"You should ask him out; go on a double date with me." I said smiling.
"Who you going on a date with?"
"This really really hot guy I met at the Jasmine Dragon a couple days ago. His name's Mako. He's also the football team's quarterback. Iroh is the running back, didn't you know?" She totally had to go with me, Asami and I always double dated the first time one of us met someone new. You know, just in case they were a creeper.
"I don't know…" She said.
"Come on Asami, since when do you play the shy card? You haven't dated any guy in a while."
"I'll think about it."
~Asami's POV~
I had to tell her, there was no way I could go on a date with Iroh. Not after the weirdness that had happened yesterday. She was right, I'm not usually shy with guys, but this was an exception. I had attacked him.
The other side of my mind argued with me, he was really cute. I wanted to go on a date with him, just it would be awkward. I mean he might ask what I was doing yesterday. I definitely couldn't explain that to him.
At lunch, Korra and I decided to sit outside since it was a really nice day. We sat under a tree at a picnic table. My stomach was still angrily hungry today, but I resisted it just kept thinking of other things to keep my mind off of it. My head didn't hurt quite as bad as yesterday, at least now it was somewhat bearable.
"So, are you going to ask Iroh out?"
I froze up a bit at his name again. "Um, I'm not sure."
"You have to come with me; I really wanna go on my date with Mako. But I don't want to go alone; we always double date the first time." She gave me her best puppy dog eyes. She always gets me with "the eyes". I laughed. But then I looked around nervously.
"I have to tell you something. But please can we just keep it to ourselves; I don't want other people to hear. Please take it seriously, I'm not crazy."
"Sure, your secret's safe with me."
"I kinda saw Iroh yesterday." I stopped thinking about how to word the next part. "I smelled something really strange and all sudden I was running out my front door and down the sidewalk. That's when I saw him."
She looked confused to why this was so important. I started to feel like I really was crazy. "So? Then what?"
"He was bleeding, when I saw his blood, I…sort of grabbed his shoulders from behind. It smelled so good, I wanted it. I had to run away, I was scared I would hurt him or something."
"His blood?" She asked quietly.
I whispered back. "Yes, I don't know what's happening to me." I put my head in my hands. "Maybe I am crazy."
"You think it has to do with what happened at the party? With Tahno?" She said his name like it was poison. I didn't expect her to actually take what I said seriously, I was glad she was. Usually if I brought something like this up she would have made a joke about it.
"Maybe. I don't know, this is really scaring me. All I can think about is…blood." I felt a tear run down my cheek and I wiped it away. Korra grabbed my hand and squeezed it. She smiled.
"Don't worry, we'll figure this out."
Review please! Let me know what you think! And any suggestions are always helpful and appreciated!
