Chapter 3
Keira
Just breathe…I thought to, myself sternly. They`re not staring at you, they're staring at something above you. Even to my own ears I could tell it was a lie. I hid my face my book and kept it low trying not to feel the stares burning holes into my back as I walked down the hall. The news that I was the new High Priestess in training had gotten a surplus of attention as Sanari and Travis had wanted but it was a whole new experience for me; all eyes in the hall watched my every move when I dropped a book someone would immediately run over and snatch it up and hand it to me like I was too unable to pick it up. Then there were the ones who followed me around in between classes like I was a mother duck.
I sighed, looking down at my sketch pad; I had finally lost the duckling vamps in a hasty aversion into the locker room. It was lunchtime, but I dared not leave the privacy of the room in fear of them waiting for me. This is had never happened before! Well, not to this extant!
"Sheesh," I mumbled and washed my face. I remembered suddenly of Travis when he was warning me about the risks of this assignment, I listened carefully…. Well, not exactly to the words but to the voice saying them, goodness he had a sexy voice too! In a package of his looks and his muscles he`s make a total appearance on every teen girl`s locker. Strangely the thought of his picture on some girl`s locker shot anger through my bloodstream.
Possessiveness? How can I feel possessive of someone I barely know? My mind screamed while it raced for an answer to this unacceptable emotion. I breathed in a deep breath into my lungs. I could NOT be feeling and having this much of an explosion over HIM; the very vampire jerk that forced me go here! Who stole my ordinary and normal life from my hands as if it were his job! Except that it WAS his job… my mind chimed, but either way a growl reverberated through my throat. How dare he! It might've been a boring and much too simple life but it was MINE! A frustrated breath blew out through my clenched teeth.
It wasn't his fault…he was just doing his duty. A small voice in me voiced its opinion, justifying his actions as best as it could. I growled and kicked the door, startling a fourth former in one of the bathroom stalls. "Sorry!" I stammered in quick apology
A low laugh sounded behind me and whirled around to see who it was – only to come face to face with a young guy sitting on the bench.
"You can`t be in here!" I whispered to him, trying not to alert the fourth former in the stall. "This is the girl`s locker room!"
"Believe me," he whispered back, amusement shining in his baby blue eyes. "I have no interest in touching a girl`s boobies or any other parts of their anatomies." Not exactly knowing why, I giggled at his statement. He smiled at my giggle and pushed his sandy blond hair out of his eyes. He`s handsome. I saw with a smile; his blue eyes showed his emotion and his sandy hair windswept over his eyes and then there was his very well built body, and all that mixed in with a deep voice and his over six feet tall height would be enough to make every girl swoon at just one sight of this golden haired stunner.
He has eyes almost like Travis`…I thought softly, but Travis` eyes are a much prettier, and he`s much more welt built. I don't think any guy can compare to Travis with his unearthly draw… I quickly stopped that train of thought before it could go anywhere.
"My name is Zane," the boy stated getting up and holding out a hand. My mind back in here and now I smiled and shook it with my own.
"Keira," I informed him with another smile.
"I know who you are," he whispered. "The whole school knows as of today`s announcement."
"Oh?" I asked, my face burning with heat that crept into my cheek at the thought of the entire school knowing my name in an entire day.
"Yeah," he answered," They just-"we both froze as we heard whispering and the sound of the door being opened.
Not exactly knowing why, I spun to him and whispered urgently "We need to hide!" Something was wrong! Something was HERE!
