Chapter 5
The door cracked the second time i slammed it.
No one was home. No sound was made. This was perfect.
I stammered into my room and plopped onto my bed, feeling the soft sheets sink underneath me .I took of my black jacket and threw it across the room,hitting the wall hard. I still had my shoes on but i didn't care. I dug my head onto the pillow and groaned.
I felt my long heavy hair cover my sight and all there was was pure black. I clutched the pillow tight until rips emerged at the sides. I shut my eyes and felt the the sunlight hit the side of my face. I flickered my half closed eyes towards my window and saw right through the beaming sunlight. Of course, mortals would just twitch and squint their eyes, but not for me. This was nothing.
I saw right through and caught sight the house that was up for sale for over a month. The same house the boy was in front of the first time i saw him. I same house my brother's girlfriend once lived in. I closed my eyes again and felt frustration roam my head.
Who is he? What the hell happened. What. is. Wrong. With .me.
All these stupid questions mobbed my head like World War 2. I released my hands from my pillow and slid it down belief it. I reached in and felt the cold silver meet with my fingertips. I hooked my index finger around the chain that beheld the ring and pulled it out, dangling the shiny object in front of me. My eyes felt weak the moment they met with it.
The ring glistened in the bright light, reviling a beautiful clear blue stone. I brushed my fingertips lightly over the stone, and at that very second, was attacked by a wave of the past.
No...Please..

" So Aiden..how was your first day of school?" My mother's dark green eyes flickered my direction as i stuffed a forkful of lasagna in my mouth. I waved a hand at her, letting her know to wait. My little three year old sister, Cassie, giggled and Iwinked at her as she played with her noodles. I swallowed and answered.
" Short" Was all I said. She raised her eyebrows and took a sip of her water, slightly annoyed. My father on the other hand, winked at me as another noodle dangled in my mouth.
" Is that all, son? No cute girls? Cheerleaders? Anything..?" He waggled his eyebrows and I smiled. He was always the fun parent where as my mother was the uptight annoying one. I took a sip of my water and swallowed hard and before I knew it, unexpected answers flew out of my mouth.
" I wouldn't say that..there was this girl..this morning." Dad's eyebrows went up slightly and my mom just sighed. " She was pretty..I would say. But i guess that's all there is about her- pretty" I almost shut my mouth at that time. I hadn't really mean to tell them that. I mean what teenage boy would?
" Ooooh Aiden has a girlfwend!" giggled Cassie and i tickled her little belly. I got up from my chair and drank the last of my water.
" I do not, Ok then...see ya!" I left my entire family clueless and walked upstairs into my room, still trying to settle in with the new setting. The house of nice, really nice. The stairs were made of wood that swirled its way up to the second ( which was the top) floor, where three bedrooms and one family bathroom was located. My room was to the left of the staircase. I reached the end and clicked open my door, where a half empty room with dim lights appeared. I had a bed, alright, and all my clothes were in the closet. But this whole room was nearly empty. I decided to Aiden-fy it. I rummaged in my suite case and spent the past hour taping posters and setting things up right.
I was nearly sweating by the end.
I walked over to my large window and stared out the star filled dark night. I whipped my forehead with the back of my hand and pressed the side of my head to peer out the window, trying to avoid seeing my refection again. What I saw then, was not my reflection. Quite a coincidence i would say.
I saw her.
This would normally seems really stalker-ish to many..many people but it really was her.
I could see the her face through thick strands of dark hair. Her face shown a clear and pale complexional and settle pink lips that didn't move. Her eyes were closed through thick lashes lases as she slept peacefully, clothed with the same outfit she wore today, even shoes. I twisted my body so that my back was pressed against the cold glass and looked down at my hand again.
Why wouldn't she tell me her name? Was she shy?
No..probably wasn't.
Did she hate me?
Hmmm, could be. Pretty sad if that was the exact answer. I thought.
But no matter what..i still want to know her name.
I left my body as it is but twisted my head so that my cheeks were pressed against the window, my eyes locked on her settle breathing. I still want to know.
Keira..
I was startled. I heard her voice. Soft and sincere.
But she never moved, never spoke. Her lips didn't open..and I never heard it through my ears.
I heard it through my mind as if it was my own thought..but in a girl's voice. Confusing i know, but i just did. I flickered my eyes towards the crescent moon and it's shining pointy tips and sucked in a deep breath.
Keira.
**************************8
" No! Please! Let him go!" the girl's voice was startled. Frightened.
She grabbed on to the goons arm and shook. Her dark hazel eyes devoured in fear. She shook him hard and she fell on the ground hard when he threw her. She scrambled to her feet and wept, crystal tears streaking her pale face. A voice rang and she cried out.
" RUN! YOU DON'T HAVE TIME! JUST GO!" the male's voice, it too was frightened. He was fighting was his life and also with death. He locked the goon's large arm and kicked his hands until the black stake fell to the fell to the floor. He grabbed the goon's collar and punched him so hard he flew and hit the large brick wall. The girl ran into his arms and looked up into his grey eyes through long dark blonde hair. He grabbed her hands and ran towards the exit of the alley, where the bright lights of the streets blinded the girl.
They were only a few seconds away when a the boy staggered back and fell. The girl rushed to his side and cupped his face with her hands. The floor beneif his head poured red blood, spreading wider and wider. Her pale fingers stained blood and her face became darkened as a shadow appeared above her. The goon reached a hand towards the male and she screamed.
KEIRA!
And that was when i woke up.
I sat up straight on my bed and the sheets flew of my body and down to my knees. I was still in the clothes i had worn the day before: my black tank top and jeans.
I ran a shaking hand over my forehead and brushed my hair back, still feeling my fingers tremble against the back of my head. I stared down at my feet to see bright white socks, my shoes sat evenly at the floor beside my bed. I looked around my whole room.
It was morning. The yellow curtains that were hung open at my windows were closed, with the bright light of the sun seeping through the slit. My bed spread were ruffled and my blanket was a mess and covering most of my legs.
When in hell did i do all that? I don't remember closing my curtains, much less even close the window from time to time.
I didn't know. I rose to my feet on the floor and brushed my hair with my fingers as I yawned. I walked over to my window and opened them wide with my two hands and through the golden sunlight, my eyes widened.
It was the blondie.
He was standing with his back facing the window, rummaging in his closet. His hair was bright and yellow in the light of the gleaming morning sun. He was wearing jeans, and that was all he was wearing. He was shirtless. His back was slightly tanned and and his shoulders were broad. I watched as he reached into his closet and pulled out a white t-shirt. He pulled it over his head, making his already messy bed head even more messy. He turned, and that was when i shut the curtains behind me and leaned against it, shielding any sight of him and any sight he had of me. I breathed heavily, and not even knowing why.
I grabbed a clip from my bed and clipped the curtains tight, leaving the only light seeping through the top, lightening my dark wooden floor. I stepped on the pool of light on the way to the bathroom. I brushed my teeth vigorously with the biggest head ache a vampire could even think of having. I brushed out my hair and stared at my reflection in the mirror.
What is that stupid feeling. Why do i seem to care so much about that boy. Why? I wondered. I looked back to my shut curtains and shuddered, wishing the boy would be sick or something and not come to school. Well, it's that or my attendance would become very, very bad. I clenched my fists and walked out of the bathroom, walking to my dresser, I changed out of my old clothes. He is just a human. Nothing special about him what so ever. Nothing.
But why did i still have an urge to talk to him, get to know him? I stopped. I shook my head and rolled my eyes, shaking away all the pathetic feelings that snuck into my mind. I walked over to my closet and opened the door.
I threw on a simple navy boat neck shirt and a pair of worn light blue jeans. Grabbing my black jacket from the hook of my dresser, I closed the door behind me, leaving all that had happened in dimness of my room.
I clutched my bag and appeared right in the kitchen, where I grabbed a random apple and ate it while my mother, who was reading those stupid news papers, glanced my way.
" What? Anymore stories about dead kids? Any more assumptions about your vampire daughter killing people?" I asked her.
" You know Keira, you should really close your curtains when you go to bed. And for Goddess sakes take of your shoes when you're in bed!" I rolled my eyes. She was trying to be a " normal human mom" again. I grabbed my bag and shut the door behind me, hearing another crack emerge from the side of the door.

(AIDEN POV)
It was a bright morning.
I left the house with nothing but confusion. Last night felt like a complete blur. I Knew that girl's name..i think, but weirdest part of all. I heard it in my mind. Typical night? I would say not. I shook my head and heard an icy voice.
" Oh, it's you" The shock of hearing that voice brought shivers down my spine. I flashed my eyes to the house next to mine, where an average height girl with dark hair and marble like eyes stood. She faced me with no describable expression on her face. I hesitated for a response.
" Oh, Morning... Keira is it?" She began walking towards me. I just stood there like an idiot. A complete idiot.
" How do you know my name." It didn't really sound like a question. More like a command.I backed up and felt her intense marble eyes glare at me.
" Uh..One of the..um.. students told me. Do you live here?" I pointed to the house. She looked at me as if i punched her in the face. She nodded slowly.
" So i guess we're neighbours now." I said. She shrugged and turned. She began walking again and I followed behind.
" So it seems." I winced at her response.
" Are you a junior?" I asked her.
She nodded.
And then no sound was made between us. It was like we were forbidden to talk,much less look at each other. I just stuffed my hands in my pocket and continued without a word. It was five minutes of cold silence before her icy voice finally spoke.
" When did you move here. Or did you move here at all?" Her tone was cold.
Like frost and ice.
She stopped and turned to look at me just as we reached the crossing. We stared at each other, her eyes like glass marbles and almost shifting colours from the darkest blue to the lightest grey. I watched her press a palm against the button and letting it fall to her side again.
" Last week. I moved here from Chicago" I said, feeling a smile tug on my lips. She looked as if she almost staggered back, Startled.
She mumbled. " Chicago?" she nodded her head once and said it as if she was teaching a grade one class. I nodded, slightly frightened at what she might throw at me next.
But all she did was close her eyes.
She looked sick. She brought a hand up to her forehead and held it as if she had a headache. She stared down at the floor as the cars swiftly pass by.
" Hey are you Ok?" She said nothing. I laid a gentle hand on her shoulder and looked at her. Again, i felt the electric shocks tingle on my fingertips like touching ice after a hot day. They travelled up my arms and brought crawling shivers down my spine. Her glass like eyes sent ice along with the shivers.
Without another word, she brushed my hand away from her shoulder, releasing the touch.
And my hands fell to my side, feeling empty. I felt so unsure about myself. I didn't have a single clue of why i cared so much about this girl i barely knew the name of. I didn't know why i would shiver every time I see her, no matter how cold she could be.
But i just know that somehow..I knew her.
Hard to explain, and yet hard to believe. I didn't even believe it myself. It's so strange. The connection is so damaged. I felt like my mind was shattering with confusion.
But then the shattering stopped.
" Sorry.." She took a deep breath. " Just had a bad memory there." The coldness stilled lingered in her eyes, but her cheeks resented all that with a flush of pink. She brushed her hair back and and pressed her palm against the yellow button again.
" Oh.. I'm sorry to hear that.." I said. She flickered an eye at me, not bothering to turn around. I heard the beeping of the cross road and the image appear on the mini screen on the other side of the street. She began walking and I blinked. Seconds had passed and she was already on the other side of the road. I layed foot on the cement road and that was when everything went wrong.
A silver truth swirled and headed straight for me. It was coming so fast and i couldn't move my body. Every ounce of blood was frozen within me and my eyes widened. Then I felt a crash and soaring pain erupted in my body. I opened my blinded eyes to expect seeing a silver car either on top of me or a flashing white light. But what i saw was completely beyond what i imagined.
I saw A pair of ice cold grey eyes.
Keira laid on top of me with widened eyes and a bloody palm. Her lips were opened and her hair was surrounded her face like a hood. Despite my utter shock, I looked back and saw the front wheels of the silver truck in front of her leg.
Her jeans had a large long tire track painted right on.
And there was no blood what so ever. I looked back into her face as she lifted her self off of me, barely struggling and barely wincing. Her leg seemed as if normal, like the tire track was always there. She brushed her palms and I watched blood drip to the floor. Then, I remembered.
I saw her at the other end of the sidewalk. Barely close enough to run back in seconds. I scrambled to my feet and at that second i grabbed her bleeding palm. She looked at me with shock and i just stared at her. She yanked her arm away from me and hid it behind her back. I looked back down to her jean leg where the tire track remained. I took her hand and turned it around.
No Blood. Barely a scratch.
My eyes met with the pale palm and my voice croaked out.
"how?"
And then her icy eyes caught mines and the whole world seemed to fall apart into a million pieces of crumbling ice, and nothing but blood and horror filled my mind.
