Dangerous blood chapter three
Austin walked into his house and crashed on the couch. He closed his eyes and let out a groan. He was really tired from a long week giving Ally hints every day but she didn't get it. They found the "legend" about Vampires and her last name involved in it but she was clues. Well either that or she didn't want Austin to find out. She still thinks Austin's normal, unlike her. Ally always knew she was.. Abnormal. However she kept it a secret from everybody. She didn't want anybody to call her insane and a lunatic. She wanted to be normal and she was. She had two lives: a normal teenage girl life and an abnormal live where she could use magic, create and see unbelievable things that nobody else could see.
What Austin didn't know is that Ally spent all her free time looking for more facts about the legend they had read. She looked through her library and found books and old papers about the town. As she was scanning an old newspaper page she came across a name very familiar to her. A name that she found impossible for it to be written on there. A name of a boy, who she trusted now. The blond, new kid, Austin Moon. She looked up to see if she got the year right. Yep, 1823. It just doesn't make sence. She read the article and found it strange. The reporter must have been a complete idiot, she thought.
" They were spotted again last night, Austin and Aron Moon. They were seen non the less then just outside the woods where Monica Black was last seen alive and well. As much as we all hate to think about it, I think it's time the people of this town know the truth. Something insane is going on here. Something that the high authorities are trying to hide from us, something big. I think we should go to them and demand answers! Please if you are to join me and others tomorrow at noon, while these nasty animals aren't able to get in the sun, come and we'll do this... "
Were Austin and Aron accused for murder? Ally wondered. It seemed so, yes. But why? And what did the reporter mean by 'While these nasty animals aren't able to get in the sun' ? Her head was roaming with questions but no answers. She put down the papers and looked outside. Unlike all the days before, it was sunny and warm, why not take advantage of that. She picked up her phone and slid it into her pocket. She headed outside and decided to just walk around. It was Friday after all, she was free of all tasks and could enjoy herself as much as she wanted to. She decided to walk in the direction of a coffee place near by. It's near the woods but everybody mostly hangs out there so why not. It really wasn't far, a few minutes away on foot. And on a beautiful day as this, it was no problem.
As she was walking she felt a pain in her hand and yelped. She looked at her palm and gasped. She could see something, as if it was just still being carded into her skin. A sign. A sing that she had seen in many magic books and in old journals. It was a Witchcraft Pentagram. As she continued walking and looked at it more, it got more clear and noticable. She remember she had read about it yesterday and wished for the book to be near. She had no idea how, but just moments after she had wished for it the book appeared in her hand. She stared at it blankly for a moment but soon just decided to look through it. She found the picture of a witchcraft Pentagram and read the description underneath.
" The Pentagram is a symbol of a star encased in a circle. Always with 5 points (one pointing upward), each has its own meaning. The upward point of the star is representative of the spirit. The other four points all represent an element; earth, air, fire, and water. All these things contributive to life and are a part of each of us.
To wear a pentagram necklace or other form of jewelry, is to say you feel the connection with the elements and respect the earth. "
Ally snapped the book shut and it disappeared into thin air. Ally didn't even react to it, she just looked at her palm. The symbol on it was now as clear as water. She touched it gently but as soon as her gentle fingers touched the very surface of her palm she pulled them off feeling pain as if the drown symbol was still cooking. She gave it one last glance before brushing her hand on her jeans and ignoring it.
She was about to walk in when somebody walked out of the coffee bar and they hit each other, both landing on the ground. The person next to her quickly stood up and she looked up and saw a boy not very much older than her. He held out his hand and she took it. After he helped her up he smiled at her and spoke up with a british accent " Hello there mate, are you alright? ". Ally giggled slightly, he found it quite adorable " Yeah I'm fine " She said and his smile wided " Well I'm glad to hear it. I'd love to stay and chat but I have to go, it was lovely meeting you.. " " Ally! "
" Right, Ally. Well I'll see you round " And then he just walked off. Ally huffed. She didn't even get his name, too bad, really! She looked around herself and felt somebody's eyes scanning her. It was like a sixth feel. She knew exactly where the person was staring at (The back of her head), she knew where he was positioned at (Behind her, hiding behind a wall and only peeking 5-10 seconds every once in a while) and she knew what he looked like. He had black hair and deep black eyes with a hint of red. His lips were formed in a smile and he had fangs. That's what she saw in her mind. She knew what he was, but had no idea what he wanted.
She closed her eyes and focused on his heart and imagined the position of his heart. She tried to scan the area behind her in her mind, looking for a sharp piece of wood. She found one not far from the vampire and imagined it being lifted in thin air and floating towards him. She knew that exactly what she was imagining was happening in real life, she just felt it. As the stake got closer to the vampire he noticed it and turned around to see it.
He got mad and used his vampire speed to get to Ally and pulled her deep into the forest. It didn't matter if she had screamed or not, there was no way anybody could save her. But that didn't stop her from kicking. She tried, she had really tried to get out of his grip but it didn't work. He stopped and trew her at the ground. As she fell her wrist fell upon a sharp wooden object causing her to cut it. The sixth sense kicked in again and should could see as the smell of her blood spread through the air. She looked up at the vampire who had brought her there and he hissed at her. She crawled backwards, further away from him, as much as she could to make it unnoticeable. He noticed though. He sped over next to her, picked her up and pinned her against a tree. She breathed heavily looking closer at his face, she knew him. It was the man who had written the journal, her anteater. The one who mysteriously disappeared.
" How can you be alive? You were born 256 years ago? " She asked him rather confused. He looked at her eyes before speaking up " No I wasn't! You don't know me, understood? ". Ally looked at him with her best confused expression and spoke up " Um, but I saw you in an old family portrait, you haven't aged at all ". He was shocked, but then he realised why his attempt to compel her hadn't worked, his gaze focused on the necklace around her neck as he let go of her and turned around. " I should have known your mother would not have let anybody compel you " He whispered into thin air. Ally shouldn't have heard it but she did, she wished to hear the words he had mumbled and they had traveled by air into her ears. " Compel? " Ally questioned him. He turned around and nodded " Yes compel. You see that necklace you're wearing? -Well it contains vervain, and that is the only thing that can under power a vampire, well that and a stake obviously " At the sound of her necklace, Ally's gaze lowered and she looked at the beautiful necklace around her neck. She smiled, it wasn't her mother who gave it to her. No! It was Austin
*** Two nights ago, at Ally's house ***
Ally was typing the lastly found facts while she waited for Austin to return. He said he had left something at his house, but will be back soon. Ally, of course, keeped working. They were nearly finished actually, only 5 more pages to go, she tought as she got to the next page. Her gaze went to a history book on West Mystic, and as she scanned the page she took out the important facts and re-wrote them on the computer.
She heard the door being opened, knowing it was Austin, she spoke up " What took you so long? ". She heard him chuckle and turned around to see him standing there with one hand behind his back " Why? Miss me? " He joked and she giggled. " Well actually, my dear friend, I did " " I'm glad to hear that Als " He said and took a seat next to her. " So, what did you have to get from your house? " She questioned and he bit his lip " Close your eyes ". She was confused but did it anyway. As she closed her eyes he pulled out the necklace and gently placed it around her neck. Being so close to her, he whispered over " Open up ". She opened them and looked down at the necklace. She gasped and looked at Austin " Why? ". He just smiled and let out a soft chuckle " Because I wanted to give something to my friend ". Ally gave him a serious look before speaking up herself " Okay, now the real reason ".
" There isn't really any real reason, I just " He paused " I just want you to never take it off. Please Ally, just don't take it off. Please "
*** End of Flashback ***
Ally smiled as her fingers played with the necklace. If Austin hadn't given her that necklace she would have been compelled. And yes, she knew what to compel means. She had read it in a book just this morning, it is when a vampire takes over your mind and makes you do or feel something. They basically have full control over you and your mind. And because Austin gave her a necklace with vervain in it they can't take over. So Austin definitely knows something, probably something she doesn't.
" Well doesn't matter " She heard him say and looked at him " What? ". He turned around and sped over to her, pushing her against the tree again, making her yelp in pain and disabling her to move. " It doesn't matter because I have to kill you, I can't have you bring her back! " He yelled and she was confused again " Bring who back? What are you talking about? ". He ignored her and moved away the hair from her neck and leaned in. " No! " She screamed and used all power in her and focused on hurting him. He yelped in pain and let go of her while falling down on the ground himself. She kept focusing on him and the pain she wanted him to suffer from.
She felt a pristance next to her, the person immediately falling to the ground. " Awh, Ally stop! " She heard a familiar voice next to her and looked at him, her eyes widening. She ignored what she has been focusing on and dropped next to him. " Austin! " He looked up at her, his sight half blind, breathing heavily and feeling like the energy had been drown out of him. " What did you do? H-how did you- " He started but she cut him off in the middle " I'll explain later but we have to go ".
As soon as his energy had returned he noticed the vampire on the ground and his eyes widened. He immediately picked up Ally into his arms and rushed out of there as fast as he could. In the speed he accidentally went in the wrong direction and ended up going deeper into the woods, but he didn't care. Once he reached a clearing he stopped and placed her down to catch her breath. " What- " She started but he interrupted " I'll explain everything, you need to know everything. Just not here and not now " He told her and she nodded. " Alright, but can we go back to where there are people now? " Ally asked, lightly frightened. Austin nodded and bent down to pick her up. He didn't even get close to her when somebody shouted " Austin! " Austin sighted and turned around " Simon... How good to see you. How have you been? ". Ally looked at the vampire, Simon, it was him. Her relative, the one who had tried to kill her. She swallowed hard and crawled backwards, Austin heard that and turned to her " Don't worry " Then his haze went back to Simon. " The vervain in her necklace was a smart move, I have to admit I didn't see it coming. " Simon said and Austin just huffed " You're not going to kill her or harm her in any possible way ". Simon chuckled " Well she is pretty powerful, but that won't work on everybody who wants her dead now will it?! ". Austin just kept staring at him untill Simon ran off using vampire speed.
As soon as he was out of sight, Austin turned to Ally. Her beautiful eyes looking back at him, showing how mysterious and talented she actually is. Austin knew it was time she knew the through and he knew he'd have to tell her. Probably even tonight. " Here, let me help you up " He went over to her and took her hand. She held on to him as she found her balance once again. " Thank you " She breathed out and looked at him. He smiled and nodded " Anytime.. So now, we should probably get going. Anything can happen out here " Austin said as he started to lead the way, but Ally didn't follow. She was too busy remembering what she had read... " Like a girl disappearing and you and your brother being accused for it " Ally spoke up and Austin froze. He turned around, swallowing hard, and looked at her " I will explain everything, I promise but first- ".
Something red, dropping from her wrist caught his attention and he watched as the red liquid dropped from her wrist hitting the ground. He went over to her and took her hand " When did this happen to you?! ". He absurved her wrist, which seemed broken to him. " When Simon pushed my on the ground- ow! " She shook as he touched her wrist. He didn't take his eyes of it " Yeah it's broken, here- " He bit his own wrist making blood float out. He moved his hand closer to her and spoke up once again " Drink this ". She looked at him, confused, terrified she had no idea how she really felt. " You want me to drink your blood? ". Austin let out a groan, instead if waiting for her to take his hand on her own, he just pressed it against her mouth making her drink his blood. She despised the taste of it, it was blood, to her it was non the less then disgusting. After he was sore it was in her system he removed his hand from her lips and looked at her wrist. It healed as he watched it and all that was left was some dry blood from earlier.
" But how did you- " Ally asked, glancing between her wrist and Austin. He smiled. " Ally, I think you know what I am " He told her and watched carefully as she nodded her head. But she was, of course, still very confused. It was a lot to take in. Her friend who she had met less then a week ago was a vampire, and saved her life. And knew about her life, yes she noticed how he would know something before she had even told him. It became obvious that he either looked her up or actually watched her during her whole life. She would assume he looked her up but some things he knew could not be found online and that frightened her before. But now, it all made sence.
" Just tell me everything! "
