As he ran the wind whipped across my face, and the speed caused my eyes to water. I was shivering, not because it was cold outside, it was actually a fairly warm night for here. It was because Riley was cold as ice, so cold that my arms, which were wrapped around his neck, were numb. Then, my mind started to work again. I was scared, cold, sad, and most of all, pissed.
"Where the hell are you taking me?" I yelled, but my voice was probably drowned out by the wind. I was quite surprised when Riley answered me.
"I'm taking you somewhere. That's where." He snarled, his lips curling off his teeth. He was baring his teeth at me, and his red eyes shone dangerously in the moonlight. I instantly cringed away from him, and that ended up with me letting go of his neck, and almost losing what balance I had. I screamed as halted to a stop so quickly that I completely fell off his back and onto the pavement below, scraping my elbow up in the process. I felt wetness on my elbow and looked up at Riley, who was still baring his teeth at me, but this time something was different. His eyes were black, and his teeth seemed to be wetter. Not like he was drooling, like something was coating them. He snarled in a feral way, and lunged at me. Riley picked me up with one arm, and moved my hair off my neck with the other. I screamed bloody murder, which was probably about to happen to me, and writhed and hit him with all my strength. I just ended up giving myself bruises. His lips were at my neck now, and I could hear the bloodlust in his voice.
"You do smell appetizing. You're blood is going to be much more pure than the others I've ever had." He was smiling, I could tell, but I was going to give up without some sort of fight, even though I was pretty damn sure I wasn't going to do any damage.
"Well, you're going to have to wait Mr. Biers. I'm not going down easily." I whispered in his ear. I thought He feels like stone, but I'm pretty sure that one part of him is a little more sensitive than the others. I brought my foot back and swung it forward, hitting him squarely where it would, or should, hurt. Apparently, it did. Riley dropped me and groaned. I ran back the way we had came as fast as I could. It wasn't fast enough because Riley was in front of me in a second.
"You know, you should really be more careful when you piss me off." He growled, grabbing me and throwing me over his shoulder, as though I didn't weigh a thing. I already knew he wasn't human, but seriously! Who could sling a 105 pound girl over their should like she's an ounce? I screeched and screamed for help, but no one came. He was running again.
"Are you going to kill me?" I whimpered, as he slowed to a walk about fifteen minutes later.
"No. But, when I'm done with you, you're going to wish you were dead."
Oh, shit.
