Chapter 3
I felt like I was in outer space, weightless until I returned to earths orbit and felt gravity come crashing down upon me. My back was hurting something fierce and I felt something warm on my face. I opened my eyes and saw these beautiful, brown eyes staring back at me and for a moment, I felt like I was shipped back out into space until I realized that those eyes were on this huge ass dog. My heart skipped several beats as I shoved the animal away and I when I said away…I meant it because the dog ended up like ten yards away.
The animal got up and shook off the pieces of wood, dirt and underbrush that covered the forest. It glared at me like I was some pissed off bitch and couldn't decide weather to smack me or throw me into another tree.
Oh shit, I think I'm fucked.
What the hell? Did that dog just talk to me? I thought but I decided to answer just in case it was and I really didn't feel like getting into a fight at the moment so I just went with it. "What the hell are you talking about? I didn't even do anything to you," I said. "You're the one that rammed me into a god damn tree."
The dog gave me an expression that looked like I slapped it. Did she just hear me?
Oh shit…I don't think he was talking me, I thought to myself but since I already started there really wasn't a reason to stop and pretend that it didn't happen because I'd be standing around like a dumbass. "Well of course I heard you, you're talking ain't cha? I mean damn. Did you hit your head to hard on the tree or something? Don't be so dense, god."
Yeah that's smart…make the huge animal feel stupid. That's going to make sure you live. I kind of felt ashamed of my comment and was about to apologize when I heard something moving in the forest beside me. Well technally, I smelled it first before I heard it but the scent was the same as the animal in front of me so I guessed that it must be back up in case it got hurt.
"Um...I really don't feel like getting jumped so I'm outta here," I said before I booked it and ran back into the forest. I knew the animals had arrived for their comrade so picked up my speed so they wouldn't think that I was some threat. I was just passing by…I wasn't any harm.
I arrived in a clearing and I looked around, confused as hell and trying to figure out where I was but one thing that I did know was that this place smelled like vampires. It reeked of them actually so I knew that they had been here recently, so I followed the scent down the mountain that I suddenly realized that I was on.
"Oh the shit I get myself into…I really need to pay attention," I mumbled to myself and I continued my journey down the mountain. The sun sank beneath the horizon as the moon awoke from its slumber to greet the night and I felt the temperature change to inform me that it was about to rain before the first drop fell upon my cheek.
The rain was relentless and the downpour soaked me in seconds. I heard the thunder clash and the lighting flash across the dark sky and I started to run once again. I hated thunderstorms for they reminded me of a time that I tried so hard to forget…but also reminded me of my mother…and the day that she was taken away from me.
The forest was a blur as I ran past it, feeling the rain and wind whip me in my face that I didn't notice that I was in front of an old Victorian mansion. I walked up to the door and for a second, I thought against disturbing the family but when I saw the lighting flash again I had to get out…get away.
I knocked hard on the door, hoping and praying that someone would answer. I shivered from the cold and the thunder roared from above me. I felt my heart stop and the world close up on me and start to spin when finally the door opened and I ran into the arms of a bronze-haired man and the for the second time today, my world went dark.
