(Mikel)
I was waiting outside in the car when she went inside. She didn't know that I could hear everything that was going on. I heard her aunt smack her and I would have done something, but I knew that if I tried it could end up hurting her more. She soon came out and told me to come in. I walked slowly up to the front steps, following behind her. She kept her eyes on the floor and I could tell that she was avoiding my eyes. She shut the door behind me and led to me what would seem like her bedroom. I looked at her and sat down on the edge of her bed.
She then looked at me and I could see the red mark on her face.
"Would you like some water?" She asked me with what seemed like dread in her voice. I simply nodded my head no and she left the room. She came back in carrying her books and her bag.
"Are you okay, Kalli?" I asked her. I was starting to get really concerned. I could see a trickle of blood coming down her face.
"Yeah, I am fine." She said. I could tell she was lying by the tone in her voice.
"Kalli, the reason I asked is because you are bleeding." I said looking at her.
She walked out of the room and disappeared, then coming back a few seconds later. She came back and started shuffling around the room, brushing passed me in the process. Without realizing I had grabbed her arm and looked at her. She then gasped and struggled, only making me pull her closer.
"Mikel, let go of me." She said, whispering. I wasn't hearing her though. I just stared at her, trying to fight the urge to bite her. My face just kept getting closer and closer, making me even more tempted than ever. I was soon smiling and instead of heading towards her neck, I went for her lips. We were soon kissing and I could hear her sigh against me. The need was starting to take over and I had to push her away before anything happened. She just stood there, shocked.
"I'm sorry." I said, staring at the floor. I was so embarrassed and if I had any blood in my body at the time, my cheeks would have been a pink-red shade.
"It's okay. I need to go to the kitchen really quick to find a band-aid for this." She said, pointing at the cut on her right cheek. I nodded and she left the room in silence. I cursed myself for such lack of control. I could have hurt her, or worse. I sighed to myself and decided that once we were done reading that we should not try to meet up again, unless during school. During school would be the only time that she could be safe from me. She walked into the room with a small bandage on her cheek, covering the bleeding cut. I cleared my throat.
"Why don't we get started on the reading?" I stated. She simply stared at me.
"Mikel, can I ask you a question?" She asked looking at me. I shrugged and then nodded. I looked up at her and saw her face scrunch up in confusions, as if she was trying to solve an internal problem.
"Mikel, before you kissed me your eyes were blue, but when I told you to stop your eyes were black." She proclaimed. I just stood there shocked. I was trying to find a way to tell her that I didn't know what she was talking about. She could know what I was.
"My eyes tend to change color depending on my mood. They are normally blue, but they turn navy, not black, when I have other emotions." I tried my best to tell the truth without giving out much. I saw her take in what I said and it seemed as if she didn't believe me, but then she just said okay and then went towards her bag, grabbing out the book. I then went and got mine and sat back down on the edge of her bed.
"Who goes first?" I asked her. She sat down on her bed and got herself situated in a spot. She looked at me and smiled. I smiled back, making sure that my fangs were retracted back into my gums.
"How about you read first and then we can switch for every other chapter?" She suggested to me.
"That is a good idea." I said. Soon, she stared reading and we kept switching back and forth. Soon we were done and it was 9 o'clock. I thanked her for letting come over and then she walked me to the front door. I walked and she shut the door behind her. I walked up and hugged her, seeing the surprise in her eyes.
"See you tomorrow, Kalli?" I asked her. She smiled and then nodded.
I walked to my car and saw her walk back inside and shut the door behind her. I got in and started it. I then turned around and headed back to my house. It was time to face my parents. I know that they wouldn't be happy about this. I would just have to convince them otherwise about it. I sighed and tried to relax myself. Tonight was very interesting and I partly wanted to shoot myself for what I had done earlier, but I was able maintain self-control and had only kissed her.
