All I could hear were the raindrops coming down strongly from the not so strong horse stables, some dripping on my face, it had woken me up, as I opened my eyes, it had appeared I had slept the whole day seeing as it was dark outside, I was cold, wet and tired. The floor I was lieing on was now surrounded with puddles of water and wet hay, I wiped off the pieces of hay stuck to my face and lifted myself up and off of the floor.
Everything was wet, I felt dirty just feeling damp, I heard footsteps running from the rain, I walked slowly and quietly to the double doors, it was the same guy from the past weeks coming up to the same car driving in and out of the same building specifically when it was dark and every day I would admire his beautiful perfection and watch him as he drove off, I had the same thoughts as I did with the human boy, I was attracted to this guy for a totally different reason though, and I liked it.
I had lost count of the amount of days, hours, weeks I have spent in this shed and yet not single human had even noticed my presence which was something I was thankful for.
My whole body felt stiff all over from sleeping in the same position every night without anything to eat, but I was used to not eating anything anymore that it was just this numb feeling in my chest I choose to ignore now, on top of it all I still had this horrible hygiene issue.
With the strength that was suddenly decreasing from my body I pushed the double doors leading to the outside, as it open, it opened with a thrust leading me to fall over onto the wet and damp floor. I held still taking it all in, the freshly cut grass, the smell of rain reminding me of oceans, the pitter patter of the rain hitting the ground and voices. Wait. Why could I hear voices?
I was panting loudly only because I felt very weak, I lifted my head, I'm pretty sure they didn't notice me but they continue to walk closer to me, hand in hand.
I took in a big deep breath of air and noticed how their blood didn't draw me towards them but either way they were approaching closer, I rolled to the closest bushes as I did not want to be seen, all these familiar looking faces yet no answers, it was frustrating.
"But... why in there?" said a tall boy with his hands wrapped around the girl in a protective way through the rain.
"No one will find us in here baby" said the girl in a flirtatious tone.
They continued walking upto the stables, or im my case my new home as the boy took his arm off of the girl and opened the door for her.
"Thank you" she said again in a flirty tone and then grabbed the guy as they closed the door behind them.
Strands of hair were sticking to my face as it got colder, the rain started to come down a little lighter but still hard enough for it to hurt and all I had on me was myself, my hoody was no longer resistant to the rain as it soaked straight through I had to take it off of my head.
Since my home was being hijacked by hormonous teenagers, I had no other choices left other that the building right in front of my eyes but I wouldn't allow myself to put other people in danger.
Still heavily breathing, I lifted myself off of the wet ground and wiped off the pieces of leaves stuck onto me, I walked slowly back up to the shed my hands resting on the double doors as I kneel down for the hole.
It was very dark for me to see anything except muffled voices.
"Did you hear that?" the girl spoke.
"No"
"Are you sure? Go check!"
"Who in their right mind would look in a an abandoned horse stables?"
Since I was freezing out here, of course I couldn't keep immensely still I was shaking pretty badly out here making the doors shake.
"Go check, please?"
And that is exactly what the guy did, of course like an idiot, I was stood there wondering what he was going to look for until the last second when I ran behind the shed, I felt quite stupid playing these childish games, running away from the humans so I don't get noticed at all, whatever my normal life was, I miss it.
I thought about this long and hard, I was getting kicked out of my home because of some humans who needed some fun time? No. This won't do.
I shook the shed door and this time I had meant to do it and hoped they'd run out of the stables. Now I was the one playing these stupid games.
"It's just the wind" the guy assured her.
"I don't care, you heard what the people in school have been saying, someones already been missing for a while now"
"Maybe she's dead?"
"I don't know but the whole thing is freaking me out, I just want to get back inside"
So that is what they did, the guy holding the girl in a protective way inside the school while I got my place back again.
I caught myself on a branch, trying hard to stumble out of it, I heard a car coming into the building, I grabbed long and hard onto my trousers of which it was caught on and accidently trip, This is not my day!I thought to myself as the light from the headlights got lighter. I fell to the ground, I knew it was the car coming into the school, the same car with the same guy from the past weeks, what would he do if he catches me? Bury me alive? Kill me on the spot? I couldn't take any chances, even with the pain that was now conflicted on my leg, I knew I had no chance of escape as the car screeched to a stop, the engine turned immediately off and the person got out of his car. Busted.
"Hey, you alright?" asked the man closing his car door behind me coming up closer to me.
"I'm fine" I replied, my voice unsteady, I kept my head down and focused on my leg. My painful leg.
"We need to get you some help, here let me-" he kneeled down beside me, from what I can see with the hair around my face and grabbed my arm to help me up.
"No! I'm fine" I tried to get away from him helplessly.
"Well, you don't look fine, come on let me help you" He reached out for my arm again.
He was frustrating me.
"I said I'm fine" This time I had meant it, I moved the hair off of my face to look him in the eyes, maybe this would make him understand but as I watched his helpless face, his eyes squinting from the heavy rain.
"Zoey?" his facial expression changed, confused as he whispered what I think he said to me.
"W-what?" I barley spoke, he looked so certain, with the leg that was free I tried to slide away from him but he just kept moving forward towards me.
"Oh my god, its you, its... its really you" he grabbed me in a very tight surprised hug.
I was panting uncontrollably trying to let go of his grasp "Get off of me!" I panicked.
"You're alive" he whispered in my hair, against each other we were wet, I felt uncomfortable, with the strength I was fighting to have, I pushed him away from me.
I wanted to cry but I kept it in "Stay away from me"
"What?, no, I-Its me remember?"
The rain was making everything ten times worse, I couldn't see who he was and I was freezing out here with a guy who supposedly knows me.
"Zoey?" he said in a light tone, still squinting from the rain, he looked a little sad, yet still confused.
With the leg that was not injured, I brought it up and wrapped my arms around it, I was scared of him and I think he saw it.
"It's me, Erik" every time he moved closer, I went back.
"I don't-" Unable to finish the sentence, I closed my eyes and held it together.
"Wha- what happened?" he asked "Who did this to you?" his voice being raised.
After several minutes of just hearing the howling of the wind and the pitter patter of the rain I replied "I don't know, I don't know anything" the last part I whispered mainly to myself, but I knew he heard it.
"Look, you are getting wet and cold out here, lets go inside"
"No!" I hesitated, these people wouldn't know what they'd be getting themselves into with a hungry vampire.
"I promise you'll be safe, with me" I opened my eyes and looked into his "I promise"
I nodded in agreement, he helped me up "Ow!" I grunted in pain, forgetting the pain in my leg.
"Here, let me" by surprise he held me up in his arms and I didn't protest, he promised he'd keep me safe, he promised.
I took a sigh of relief as we reached the inside of the building, I felt warm already. Everything looked so familiar but he was walking to fast for me to take a good look at it, he slowed down as soon as we reached what looked like infirmary, he set me down on the bed which was when I instanly felt cold again. Everything was white in the room, the guy sat down beside me, still wet and cleaned up my cut, which stung.
"Where did you go Z?" he asked from all of a sudden.
I was starting to feel a little comfortable around him, "I wish I knew" I replied in a low voice.
"You've got to have some idea, its been weeks every ones gone nuts looking for you"
How was I suppose to respond to that? To me they were all strangers.
"Erik?" someone from a distance was chanting his name.
"In here" he shouted back.
"Ha. I thought you were in here, what happened did you hurt yourself or-" she paused as soon as she swung into the room and spotted me.
"Zoey?" she smiled at me with shock.
She ran up to me with a hug, "You're alive" she whispered in my hair. That was twice.
After a while I could feel how uncomfortable she was feeling and released me, "Ew, you're all wet and what is with the smell!?" she moaned.
I continue to stare at her beauty, something I can't remember seeing before yet it was impecable.
"What? No lame comebacks?" she asked but she smiled as if she was joking around.
I lowered my eyes away from her and stared at the floor.
"What's wrong with her?" she asked.
"I don't know exactly... but I think... shes lost her memory"
"Oh" she replied full of shock.
-------
I've began to lost count at the amount of times the words 'you're alive' were being said to me along with a very long hug. Actually I haven't, about nine times and i'm still counting.
I had about six pairs of eyes staring at me, like I was some kind of pet. This felt too weird, these people supposadley my friends but didn't they know what I was?
