Chapter 5
Serina
Serina wasn't sure how long she stood there just staring at the magical scene in front of her; it was truly breathtaking. Without realising it she leant against Demetri, he stiffened at the unexpected contact but relaxed after a second.
"I could just stand here forever." she murmured her voice breathy and quiet. Out here by the waves everything felt simple: she didn't have to deal with parents, or obnoxious school people or the competition. She could just watch the sea crash against the cliffs and send drops of water flashing against the moonlit sky. Magical.
Demetri
Demetri tried to focus on his surroundings. His job was to keep Serina safe until Felix and Marcus returned, he had to guard her and be constantly aware of what was around them. And yet...She felt so soft and nice leaning against him, he had never really had much contact with females and this was a new sensation. His eyes examined her from head to toe; she wasn't perfect ;like Jane or Heidi but she was unique. How many times had Felix told him stories of the special human now he saw what he had meant. She wasn't scared of his kind and something about her drew him in like a magnet.
He had no idea how to act around humans, especially ones of the opposite gender. His life as a mortal hadn't involved almost any contact with women and the ones he had met had been vain, shallow and rude. Serina was friendly, kind, beautiful...He froze at that thought. He had no right in thinking about her like that, Felix had that right. When his friend had hugged her Felix had looked happy and slightly confused. And the amount of times he had drummed into him how vital Serina's safety was and how important it was to be 100% focused around her, Felix would come to realise how much he cared for her soon. Serina probably cared for him to. The thought sent a slight feeling of pain to his chest. He could never be with her, so why did he find his arm going round her waist and caging her to his side?
Serina
The feel of Demetri's arm around her shocked her as his ice cold skin caused her to shiver slightly. She was shocked at his action, Demetri had seemed standoffish and serious but here they were standing on the cliffs above a beach on a moonlit night. They probably looked like lovers with her leaning in on him and his arm around her. The thought sent a blush to her cheeks. Sure she had thought about boys, what teenage girl hadn't? But she had never been attracted to the boys at school they were immature jerks, lately she had been thinking about Felix a lot. Whenever she had drawn him she had found herself drawn to him as a man more than a guardian. Yet she enjoyed the feel of Demetri holding her, it felt safe and protective and had a slight possessive feel as well.
She frowned;of all times for her to start noticing guys it had to be now when she was in an international art competition, had lied to her parents, had run away to Italy and vampires had re-entered her life and if a certain vampire found out that she was alive he would kill her. Just great. The atmosphere of the night was getting to her and her eyelids felt heavy. Sighing she succumbed to sleep, knowing that Demetri would make sure she would be safe.
Demetri
Her breathing had evened out and her eyes had closed. He looked down at her and chuckled, yes she was asleep. He scooped her up in his arms and headed back to the hotel. But he didn't go as fast as he could, instead he drew out the journey and enjoyed the feel of her warm skin so close to his. He jumped up to her room and lay her on her bed. He pulled the covers over her. His hand gently caressed her cheek and he knelt down to her ear.
"You were not meant for me." he whispered telling her and himself. Straightening up he left her room for the roof to watch over her till dawn.
Serina
Wednesday was OK, the art competition was heating up but she couldn't really enjoy it because Tom was following her around all day and Demetri was staying out of sight. Later in the evening he was able to come out and they just spoke. He was really smart and funny once you got past his shell. He was also very shy around her which she found cute as she got closer to him her attraction seemed to grow it was scary. At 10 she was going to retire to her room but Sarah had convinced her to go for a drink at the bar. She wasn't a big drinker but the stress of the last few days had piled up and she had had a few glasses. At 11 she decided to get some rest.
Serina felt slightly tipsy as she made her way back up to her room. She shouldn't have had that last glass of wine. She fumbled with the lock and stepped inside. She closed the door and started to make her way to the wardrobe. Her feet tripped over something and she felt herself begin to fall. A pair of cold arms came around her waist and she opened her eyes to face a pair of burning red ones.
It was Demetri. Her breath was coming out in short gasps as electricity sparked between them. Maybe it was the alcohol but she felt brave and wanting. She wanted him. Her hands slowly moved up his neck and cupped his face. She smiled as he shivered from her touch. Her fingers ran across his handsome face as if she was trying to memorise his face. She felt powerful. Here was this ancient immortal predator and he appeared to be unable to move with her this close.
Demetri
God. She felt so good in his arms and when her hands had traced his face he had to stop himself from kissing her. He could smell the wine in her along with her mouth-watering blood scent. Her siren smile was wrecking havoc with his body and mind. His control was slipping. He could hear the thump oh her heart and the flow of her blood.
"Demetri" her voice was small yet filled the room. Was it a question or a demand? He didn't know or really care. His mind was screaming at him to let her go, that Felix liked her and that she was drunk. But for once he wasn't going to listen to the voice of reason and he pressed her closer to him. Biting back a groan as her lush curves met his chest.
"What are you doing old friend" the voice cut through the room and they both looked to the left. Felix was standing there and he didn't looked pleased.
An: OK Sorry I haven't updated in a while, it has been a long month. Anyway Sorry this was so short but if I had carried on it would have been two chapters and I wanted to update today. Someone said it was hard to see the changing POV so I'm going to start writing like this with names at the top. Do you think that Serina is too much a damsel in distress or is she fine the way she is and am I moving this too fast. Please tell me!!! Thanks for the support and a big thanks to everyone who reviewed, added this to favourite or alert lists and thanks for reading.
Sneak Peak
Serina took Felix's hand in her own and smiled up to him.
"No matter what happens you will always be my hero Felix." and she wrapped her arms around him.
