Vampire Protection Program
It's been two weeks since I received the cryptic note and ever since then Luke as never left my side. He even found a way to convince Charlotte to let him take me to school; he also drove me home every day. Once I got home he would stay with me until my parents came home and even then he just retreated to my room and waited for me after I had finished with my dinner, he would always be there waiting for me. He stayed over every night watching me sleep or better yet watching for vampire intruders. Luke became more and more protective, he would always walk me to class, he wouldn't let me take walks in the woods, he wouldn't even let me go to the movies with Lisa, and Elizabeth. Luke's eyes began to change his once warm honey golden eyes have now turned a cold coal black making his every facial expression menacing. He even frightened me, the way he would crouch every time we would hear a twig snap, he was always on edge, as if he was waiting for something to jump out at him.
This by the way didn't make me feel any relief what so ever about the mysterious vampire menace who was coming after me. The weekends weren't that different either except I spent them at his house. Do you know how ironic it is to be protected from a vampire by nine other vampires? Being the only one that sleeps also can be quite awkward but Alice would never let me dwell on why I was there, instead she would always make up a game or another way to pamper me into forgetting the reason why I was hiding away from the rest of the world. During these trips I also finally met the rest of Luke's family, It was raining outside as I trudged into the Cullen home to see a slender young girl about fifth teen with bronze hair curling around her face making the perfect frame for her lovely pale face that was highlighted by her chocolate brown eyes. She was sitting on the couch next to a tan boy with short jet black hair he look about twenty from how tall and muscular he was, but once he turned around I saw his child like face and knew that he must be about my age. The girl with the brown eyes sprang up from the couch once she saw me and began running towards me smiling and sawing, "Lily!"She then jumped into my arms with such enthusiasm that it would have thrown me back if Luke wasn't there behind me to catch my fall. As she backed away from me she apologized, "Oops! I'm so sorry Lily! I was just so excited to finally meet you! I'm sorry! Oh, I'm Nessie by the way!"
The tan boy now at Nessie's side wrapped his long arm left arm around her shoulder and said, "She's been so excited to meet you! When she heard she missed you the first time that you visited she cried for days! I'm Jacob."
I nodded and smiled at the meeting and said, "It's so nice to meet both of you! I'm sorry that I couldn't meet you two the first time I came, and I'm very sorry that it made you so upset Nessie!"
Nessie shrugged smiled and replied, "You're here now, so it's all good," She then continued to take my arm and lead me to the couch were a movie was in progress she then sat me down on the white love seat and placed herself closely to me my hand still in hers as she continued, "I have a feeling we're going to be really good friends!" I nodded and thought having her as a friend will be quite interesting. What really caught me off guard was Nessie's eyes they were so different from the Cullen's so I had to wonder if she was a vampire or not… I guess it's a question for another day. The tan boy, Jacob placed himself at Nessie's feet and continued watching the movie, I then turned to see where Luke had gone to, when I saw him right behind the couch he was leaning over me, hovering over me close enough to grab me to take me away from any danger, but also far enough for me not to notice his presence. Even when I was "safe" at the Cullen's house Luke still didn't leave my side no matter how hard his family tired to convince him he would just say through clenched teeth, "I'm never leaving her!" I felt touched by his commitment and I couldn't help but love him even more danger or not Luke was a gentlemen and when he promises something he keeps his promise.
Today is the 28th of October, a Friday and also the day before in my seventeenth birthday, Luke's eyes are darker than I've ever seen them, and he was more tense than ever. He was acting very crabby I would be too if I hadn't eating in a few days, but I guess Luke must be extremely hungry, after all he hadn't gone, "hunting" in over two weeks.
In one of the extremely few times that I was alone in the hallway I saw Lisa, she was waving at me as she bustled down the hall in my direction, once she reached me she started to say, "Lily I haven't seen you in like...forever! It's your birthday tomorrow right?" I nodded in confirmation allowing her to continue, "That's great! You, Elizabeth and I are going to have a night on the town! There is this new club in Port Angeles that you're going to love!" I thought about how Luke would react to letting me go to out at a time like this, I was prepared to make up some excuse like; I already had plans with the family, or I can't Luke has something planned, but then I remembered his eyes, how cold and scary they were. That's when I realized that me going would give him a chance to hunt, making him more focused. So I agreed to going to the club, trying my best to copy Lisa's enthusiasm as we parted ways. I now had to prepare myself to tell Luke.
I met Luke farther down the hall he was just getting out of his biology class and I decided not to beat around the bush so I flat out told Luke I was going out, his face became very solemn for about two seconds then his eyes became piercing as he screamed, "No! Absolutely not! I won't let you! You will not be going and that is final!"
I lowered my head and whispered, "But it's my birthday tomorrow. What am I supposed to do just not celebrate my birthday?" As I said this last part tears began to well up in my chest, I really didn't care about my birthday but the thought of Luke being in anymore pain because of me brought the tears and the worked to my favor because as Luke looked at me his angry expression began soften he then grabbed me by the wrists and said, "I can't take any chances. Lily you're just so important to me, I...I just don't know what I would do if I were to lose you!"
I looked deep into his black eyes and said as calmly as I could, "Luke you're not going to lose me! Think of it this way, how can you truly protect me when you're fighting the urge to kill me? It would be better for my safety if you would go hunting and come back 100%. Luke you're weak right now. If somebody did come along you would probably lose! Take this as a trip you and your family can go hunt while I have an innocent night of celebrating my birthday with my friends!"
Luke thought about it for a moment weighing his options. I swear if I didn't mention my own safety he would never had changed his mind but he sighed in submission, "Fine Lily, I'll go hunting just as long as you promise not to follow any strangers, once you see a pair of red eyes don't run that just makes him want to chase you, make it out as casually as possible then get to your car and drive the hell out of there! Got it!" I nodded and smiled, I get to have a party for my birthday! Luke came closer to me and kissed me gently on my lips pulling away before any teachers could see, "I trust you Lily please try to stay safe!" I nodded and then we went along with our usual schedule for the day staying close to one another watching for every sound, shadow and making sure to keep an eye out for anything strange, all I wanted to focus about was my birthday and how nice it would be not to be worrying about an unknown danger, whatever it may be.
