As I drove home, I couldn't help but think about Sam and the reaction I had towards him. What was going on?
I pulled into my spot in the driveway. Charlie wasn't home yet, so I could still hurry up and prepare dinner.
I quickly got out of the car and dropped my stuff down on the counters. I got to work as quickly as I could. I scrubbed the potatoes, poked some holes in them and put them in the oven. I then prepared the meat.
By the time I was almost done, Charlie was walking in the door.
"Sorry im kinda late kiddo. I tried to get home as fast as I could." He said as he walked into the kitchen "mmm. Smells good in here."
"Thanks dad. You arrived at the perfect timing actually." I said. "I just about finished." I took the potatoes out of the over and put everything on the table.
After we ate, I started to clear the table and clean the dishes.
Charlie took off to watch the game. After the dishes I told my dad I was going to 'bed.' He said ok and to have a good sleep.
I quickly shut the door and changed out of my clothes. I put on a red sports bra and a pair of black dance pants. I quietly opened my window and jumped as quietly as I could.
I landed on my toes with a gymnasts' finish.
I checked to make sure no one saw me jump out of a two story window and ran into the woods.
As I was running I felt as if someone was following me. I turned every so often to see if someone was behind me but I saw nobody. I then tried to listen closely, but didn't hear anything. As I got into a clearing I sat down cross legged. I had to practice my powers but I couldn't shake the feeling that someone was watching me.
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes. Vampire. I thought. All of the sudden I heard a twig snap just a few feet away from me.
I quickly opened my eyes and stood up. Someone was definitely here. I decided to use one of my powers. I put up a shield around myself hoping it would be strong enough to protect me from whatever was following me.
I saw a blur pass by me. Vampire. I thought again. Shit. A vampire. My instincts started to take over and my body formed a combat stance.
Every sound I could suddenly pinpoint its origin. Every movement looked like it was in slow motion. In that moment, I saw a woman with red hair come out at me. It was in slow motion of course, but her face showed hunger.
Her hands were like claws coming at me with a pounce. Her mouth was wide open showing her toothy white fangs. I quickly dodged he attack. She looked at me with surprise.
"H-how…? But you're a human." She said looking confused. Her voice was sweet yet screechy like nails on a chalkboard. I winced. She quickly gained her composer.
"Oh, well. I like a challenge. "She said with a menacing look on her face. "This shall be fun." She quickly ran up to me and tried to swipe the side of my face with her claw like hands. Luckily for me, it was in slow motion, and I dodged this attack right away.
After about 2 more minutes of her trying to lay a hand on me, she caught on a bit. She started using human speed moves which were harder to interpret.
I took a few blows to the face and the stomach. Nothing I can't fix later. I thought. I hit her with a couple of bad swipes, some to her face but after I gave her one to her stomach, which made her stumble backwards she looked like she had enough playing the little game. S
he walked up to me-I thought she was going to hit me again so I tried to doge it, but she ended up grabbing me and throwing me back about 30 yards.
My back hit a tree, and I fell to the forest floor with a groan. I attempted to get up slowly. I could taste a mixture of rust and salt in my mouth. Blood. I spit beside me as quickly as possible so I wouldn't throw up from the taste.
I instantly regretted that because the vampire quickly came at me but then stopped after smelling the aroma of my blood. "Mmm..." she said as she sniffed the air.
She walked over to me and picked me up by the neck, and pinned me against the tree. Her grip on my neck was firm enough to make me gasp for air yet not tight enough to kill me. She closed her eyes and tilted her head so her nose was close to my mouth. She inhaled the blood that was left on my lips.
"Your blood. It's so sweet. So inviting and appetizing." She claimed.
"I'm going to enjoy this" she smiled wickedly. Adrenaline was pumping through my body and my heart was racing. Oh no. If I'm going down, she's going down with me.
Just as she was going to bite my neck, I pulled my head back and put as much force as I could muster into banging heads with her. It must have worked because she immediately let go of my neck and stumbled a few feet back.
"You BITCH! I'm going to rip you to pieces" she screeched. Pieces. I thought as I was trying to catch my breath from her chokehold a moment ago. It suddenly clicked together. To defeat a vampire you have to rip them up to pieces and burn them!
"Bring it on." I said in a low dangerous tone with an evil smirk on my face.
We fought what seemed like for hours. She ended up pinning me to the ground again. Her foot on my neck and her body towering over mine. She laughed evilly.
"Did you really think you would win this battle bitch?" she smirked.
All of the sudden her body froze and she stood erect.
"Werewolf" she whispered.
I took that distraction to my advantage and grabbed her ankle on my neck and pulled myself off the ground while I pinned her to the ground. I could smell the wolves coming. Shit. I can't have Jake or the rest of the gang see me here. I quickly ripped the vampire to pieces and started a fire to burn them.
Just as I finished burning the pieces I could hear the paws of the wolves walk towards the fire. I have to leave! They can't see me! I thought.
I quickly used my power of levitation to help me jump up onto a nearby tree branch. They looked all around and just as they were about to sniff for any scent except the vampires, I used my shield to cover my scent.
The pack sniffed the air and found nothing. I could feel the fear coming off some of them, who I guessed to be Brady and Collin, the two youngest of the pack. From the rest, I could feel the curiosity and focus they had.
I looked at each individual wolf. I could easily tell them all apart. My eyes fell upon the big black wolf. My Sam. My? Where did that come from? A feeling of love and happiness shivered through me. I saw Sam's head pop up at attention. Crap. What did I do?
I quickly jumped from branch to branch as quietly as possible. I could see below me, Sam just a few yards behind me. My heart was racing and I jumped faster and faster, pushing myself more and more each time.
I landed with another perfect finish just a few yards from my house. I stood there for a second just trying to catch me breath. Not even a minute passed before I felt a hand on my shoulder.
