God what a kiss! It was passionate, deep and magical. Losing control of my body somehow my arms went around his neck. I was kissing him back but I'm sure I was getting the better part of the kiss. I never wanted this kiss to end. This had to be the most love filled kiss I had ever shared with Jeremy.
"Mel we have to go. Now." Jeremy whispered braking the kiss.
He sounded breathless. Well at least he could speck. I couldn't have fond my voice to save my life. Speaking of saving my life, if I wanted to live I might want to leave with Jeremy before the Volturi came up here to kill me. I smiled and grabbed Jeremy's hand. He smiled back before we headed out the door. Jeremy seemed to know his way around here pretty well. I made a mental note to ask him why he was here. This place was so huge! I would get lost everyday if I had to life here.
We took a dozen turns before Jeremy stopped at a wall. He was staring at it as if he didn't know what it was.
"Jer, it's a wall." I whispered.
He laughed a little but I could tell something was wrong. "I know that smarty. I'm trying to figure out why it's here."
"Well when a building is being built--." Jeremy cut my smart remark off my putting a hand over my mouth.
"Shh! Someones coming." He whispered then we hurried in to a small room.
It was dark but my eyes started to adjust. I saw a couch and then something moved.
What was that? I looked closer in to the darkness and saw something that made my stomach turn.
There a vampire standing over some helpless human. The vampire was sucking the blood out of the human by the neck. Like you would see movie vampires do. I had to bite my lip almost to the point of making it bleed to not scream. I felt Jeremy turn from the door, then he gasped. He must have saw what I did. The drinking vampire dropped the human who I saw now was a young boy and turned to us. I squeezed Jeremy's hand so tight it made my hand hurt. I was scared to death.
"Hi." The vampire said staring at me.
I heard a growl and Jeremy pushed me behind him.
"Stay away from her." He told the other vampire his voice deep and angry.
It was silent and no one moved. Suddenly the door I was leaning against flow open. I screamed and feel backwards. I had expected to hit the floor but instead someone caught me. When I looked up I screamed again and jumped away from the person.
"You okay? I didn't mean to scare you." I backed away from the person until I hit a wall.
I was more scared of this man than I was of becoming a vampire. At first I couldn't place where I had seen him before. I had the feeling not to trust him. It didn't take long to remember where I had seen this guy. In my dreams. He was the guy that always killed Jeremy but I always woke up before he could kill me. Great I should have known this guy was a vampire. I've noticed they bring trouble.
"Mel what's wrong?" Jeremy asked rushing up to me.
I wanted to answer him. I wanted to yell for him to run and get away from this guy. But my mouth wouldn't move. I was just frozen in place. I was just so shocked to see this guy here. Lucky my mind was thinking.
Jeremy, you have to get out of here! I've had dreams about this guy. Every time he kills you!
I screamed to him in my head praying that he was listening.
I glanced up at him to see if he had heard me. Apparently not because he just stood there looking at me.
"I'm Adrian." The killer man from my dreams said holding out his hand to me.
"Don't you dare touch me!" I yelled jumping away from his hand.
Good my mouth was working now I could tell Jeremy about my dream. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. How was I going to word this? I mean the guy was right here. He would so hear me then kill Jeremy. There was no way in hell I was going to let that happen.
Jeremy's head went to one side. He looked like a confused dog. "Melissa who are you talking to?"
"Him! Adrian. Don't you see him?" I answered his question with one of my own.
Adrian started to laugh. "Melissa he can't see me."
Now it was my turn to look confused. This made him laugh more.
"Haven't you noticed? I'm a ghost." With that Adrian disappeared.
I scanned the room but found no sign of Adrian. "Who's Adrian? Mel did you hit your head?" Jeremy wondered studying me.
"No I didn't hit my head. I'm fine. Just seeing things I guess." I muttered most of the sentence but knew he heard it.
I am I really seeing things? Was Adrian actually a ghost? My head hurt just thinking about trying to figure all that out and deal with all these vampires. Vampires?! We were still in Volaterra! Shouldn't we be running now or something?
"Jeremy we have to leave don't we?" I reminded him.
Jeremy's eyes were suddenly filled with anger, sadness and was that regret? He shook his head slowly. "No it's to late. Aro is just about to us. I've failed you. I'm sorry..." The sadness in his voice made my heart ache.
"No! Jeremy listen to me. Whatever happens to me, is not your fault. I'm making my own decisions here. Okay, so I need you to promise me something." Tears suddenly ran down my face. I hated that I was putting Jeremy though so much pain. I went on my voice shaky and thick with tears.
"Promise me that no matter what happens, you'll live your life. Don't kill your self or do something crazy. I want you to live for both of us if I don't make... I'll always love you. Whether I'm dead, a vampire or a werewolf even. I WILL always love you. Now promise me." I was looking deep in to his now green eyes.
My heart felt like it was going to burst out of my chest at any given moment. I heard the approaching footsteps but didn't care. They were just going to have to wait until he promised. Finally with a sigh Jeremy spoke. "Alright...I promise." I felt relieved only for a moment to hear him say that.
It was overthrown with fear when I heard Aro's voice. "Melissa I have made my decision."
Both Jeremy and I held our breath as we waited for his answer. But even as we stood there waiting I knew what he was going to say. That I knew to much and he was going to kill me. Kill me because there was no way I was going to become one of them. Wait...if I did become a vampire then I could stay with Jeremy. He would be happy. And that's all that mattered to me. Jeez, I must really love Jeremy if I'd become a vampire for him. I glanced up at him. His face was stone like showing no emotion. But his eyes showed...fear, sadness, anger and yet there was love in them too.
"Aro wait!" I said suddenly before Aro could speck.
I got a question mark look from Jeremy and Aro but they let me go on.
"Look I know what your going to say. Your planning on killing me but please don't. Just give me a couple months. I'm new to the whole vampires are real thing. I might actually learn to like vampires once I get use to them. Please Aro. I don't want to die. I'll become one of you but please let me live." I can't believe I was said that.
Who knew I'd be begging a vampire to let my life?
I really hated not being able to control what happened in my life but this was the only choice I had. I watched Jeremy's face go from confused to worried. "Melissa, I wish you would make up your mind." Aro told me shaking his head.
Uh-oh, head shakes normally mean no. I felt my eyes get teary but I brushed the tears away. There was no way I was going to die crying. I wanted to die strong and with the way I think this is going I'll be dieing here soon. I waited nervously as Aro thought over what I had said.
"Alright, I'll give you a month. That's it. After a month it's either vampire life or die." I was shocked at how calmly he could say that. But who cares! I was going to live! Well at least for now.
"Oh thank you!" I yelled.
I started to hug him but caught myself. Bad idea. Instead I turned and throw my self in to Jeremy's arms. He hugged me tightly. Now I was crying tears of joy. I was going to be able to live with Jeremy now! We could have a life together. Even if I only had a month I was sure that was enough time to learn to love vampires.
"The Cullen's are waiting for you outside. It is dark so it's a good time to leave. I'll see you in a month Melissa." Aro always spoke in a voice that made me think he thought he was king of the world or something. Mr. High and Mighty had a heart though. Sure it wasn't beating but he still had one. If he hadn't then I wouldn't have got to live. I watched him as he walked away. He walked like a king too. Man he must think a lot of himself.
Jeremy had to carry me. I knew there was no way I was going to make it back though those tunnel things. I surprised at how fast Jeremy was able to move though the tunnels. That's when I remember my question I had earlier.
"Jeremy? How long have you been here?" He didn't answer me right away.
That got me a little worried. I was about to ask again when I got his answer.
"I was going to join them. I felt so worthless when you picked Tyler over me. I thought...you didn't..." He seemed to be having a hard time getting the next words out. I thought about pushing him but changed my mind.
"I thought you didn't...love...me."
"What?! I thought you didn't love me!" I screamed totally shocked.
Jeremy glanced down at me then stopped running. "Mel I could never not love you."
"I feel the same way about you." Jeremy smiled and set me down.
"Then we have nothing to worry about." I smiled back with a nod in agreement.
"Melissa it's about time!" Alice called to me. "What took so long?" She wondered.
I shook my head. "I'll tell you later. Right now all I need is some sleep."As we got closer to the others, I saw an extra person I wish I didn't. Adrian.
"Go away!" I yelled. Everyone looked at me like I had just screamed that my water broke or something. Adrian just laughed. "Sorry Mel. I'm here to stay."
"Melissa who are you talking too?" Jeremy asked. I looked around at everyone. No one seemed to be able to see him.
Edward can you even hear my thoughts?
I waited for an answer from either Jeremy or Edward but got nothing but weird stares. "Adrian. That's who. He's right there." I pointed dead at him.
Everyone looked. "Mel no ones there." Emmett stated.
I sighed. "Alright fine no ones there. Melissa's just going crazy right? Yeah that's it." I said putting as much fake cheerfulness in my voice as I could muster. "Really no one sees him?" I asked. Everyone shook there heads.
"Melissa why don't we get you home or back to the Cullen's place. There you can get some sleep." Jeremy suggested holding open his arms for me. I sighed again but got in his arms. As he was picking me up I heard Rose telling Emmett something about me loving Jeremy. "Yeah I know. And I love you." Emmett said and kissed Rose.
Oh yeah another question. "What's a singer?"
Jeremy just shook his head and I saw him glare at Emmett.
"Nothing important. I'll explain it later. Sleep." Okay I'll sleep now but I will get an answer from him. I wanted to know what a singer was and why I was one. I also wanted to know where Adrian came from and why he was following me. Why couldn't anyone else see him? And why is it that Jeremy is acting as if he can't read my mind? Even Edward seems to be clueless as to what I'm thinking. Maybe Bella was shielding me. Yeah that must be it.
Well at least I hope it is.
