Chapter 3 – Sweet About Me (Krista's POV)
I lurched back and laughed. "You really thought I was going to hurt you? Now? Because I won't hurt you. Yet." I said as I smirked. She looked at me, her eyes wide at how nonchalant and joking I was about this. Then my face turned serious. "Really. You should be afraid of me. Nothing is sweet about me. Tell you something that I found though. The world's a better place when it's upside down." With that, I took to the trees, leaving her gaping. I was gone before she could react.
As I jumped, silent and invisible, through the trees I thought. That girl was due for some trouble soon. I would have to keep tabs on her. Here's the thing: I have a special, extra...talent. I can feel presences. Whenever someone is within a 100 foot radius of me, I can sense they're there. The second I notice they're there, I know their name, age, species, exact location, and I know if they will be a threat or cause trouble in the near future. Usually, I would just laugh at humans with an impending doom. But Bella was different. I felt a need to help her. What was I getting myself into?
That night I made sure that Bella was always within my radius except for when I strayed to hunt. But yes. I was stalking her. But only to protect her. Why? I still don't know. When she got home, I sat on her roof and waited. Most vampires would wonder why I had settled myself in one of the sunniest places in the United States. I sticked around any and all forests. They were few and distanced but I still lived there. I had started being like those traditional vampires that only came out at night. Also, I'll occasionally break into an empty house then make it all better before I move to another place. I spent the night contemplating my decisions.
Bella was eating breakfast. So I decided to drop in. I jumped into the backyard and came in through the sliding glass door. "Hey Bella!" I said in a loud voice. She jumped but when she saw it was me, she went back to eating. I sat at the counter in her kitchen. "Tell me something about yourself." Bella said as she continued to eat. "Alright. Is there something you want to know?" I was skeptical now. "Your eyes. They were red and now they're amber. Explain." she said. I took a deep, unneeded breath.
"Most vampires will only drink human blood. That makes their eyes red. I've spent time with red-eyed nomads and covens. But before that I knew of a coven that only drank animal blood. That caused their eyes to be golden. So I experimented in switching off. One human, one animal, one human, one animal, and so on. My eyes met in the middle of the two colors. Amber. My eyes were red yesterday because I jumped out of pattern and took an extra human. That day though, I was about to go hunting for an animal. Then I saw you and got distracted. But after our little meeting, I took an animal so now my eyes are amber again."
Bella nodded. "Aren't you afraid?" I asked. "No." she said. I frowned. "Tell me your story. Like how you became a vampire." she prompted. "Fine." I agreed.
"Well, when I was human I lived in Alaska. But while I lived there, I met a pack of werewolves." I waited to see her reaction. She gaped and stared wide-eyed at me for a moment but then went back to eating. "One of them imprinted on me. Imprinting is sort of like love at first sight only it's stronger. Once a werewolf sees...a certain girl that is his true other half, it's like gravity moves. She's the one keeping him here. Anyway, so the alpha male of the pack imprinted on me. Then one night they suspiciously went off into the woods. I followed them. Then I was attacked by a vampire they had been tracking down. I saw that look of heart break in the alpha wolf's eyes and so I got up, ignoring the burning of vampire venom in my blood, and ran. I ran all the way to Arizona. I had made many stops along the way. Meeting vampires. By the time I hit Arizona, my eyes were amber and it had been a few years since I'd been change. Right now, I'm actually 40. But I still look 17."
She nodded again. "Do you miss the werewolf that imprinted on you?" she asked. My eyes stung with the tears it could no longer produce. "Yeah. I do. A lot." I said.
