I screamed again and ran off. I didn't mind where I was going to; I just couldn't be there anymore. I started to run, I almost couldn't breathe –running wasn't my thing -.
I didn't realize I was into the woods until I fell on the ground. Then, lying on the ground, I saw the green trees for the first time. It was very scaring.
I couldn't stay there. I didn't know if Lucas followed me, but I couldn't risk that. So I stood up and started to walk again. I was too tired to run again, but my heart was asking me to save my life. I walked as fast as I was able to, but I didn't run anymore.
Time passed –surely –but I didn't know if it had passed minutes, hours or days since I left school. There was something inside that made me walk, I was too scared to think of something –and I was quite thankful for that, because I wouldn't stand more thoughts about Lucas -.
I arrived to a cliff. Hearing the sea's noise calmed me a bit. I couldn't walk back and go to town again –how? –And I couldn't jump off the cliff, of course. So I decided to sit in the end of the cliff.
I wasn't very positive about staying there, but I wasn't ready to go back to my town. I attended a lot to every noise my ears could hear. I was still afraid, maybe Lucas was there, and I wasn't totally sure of what he could do. He said he doesn't want to hurt me, but I couldn't trust his words anymore. I saw what I saw.
What did I see? A crazy, stupid and impossible thing. But however I saw his canines and how fast he could run. And that wasn't normal at all.
I sighed, tired of all this, and closed my eyes. I didn't want to sleep there; the weather was awful and pretty cold. But I didn't imagine anything better to do.
But I suddenly heard noises, such if they were steps. I didn't move –I couldn't. I kept my eyes as open as it was possible. I heard the steps closer. My heart beated so fast and my head provoked me a pain so strong.
"She's here" An unfamiliar voice said. It wasn't Lucas, but who else could look for me? "Lucas" The voice called.
When I heard that name, my body moved a little; I couldn't help that!
"She's all right" the voice informed. I'd swear he said something else, maybe 'smells delicious'. But it didn't had sense.
"Close enough" Lucas' voice said. I screamed and I hided my face with my hands. "Go away. Now"
"Hey!" the strange voice said "You'd still be looking for her without my help, so calm down, brother".
"I said go away!" Lucas was angry.
I didn't hear steps anymore, but I knew Lucas and me were alone somehow. I wanted to stand up, but my legs didn't allow me. My body wasn't mine in that moment.
"Luna…" his voice was so calmed. He spelled my name very slowly, dividing all the letters of it and said them sweetly.
I prepared my voice to speak –I wasn't sure if I'd get to say something.
"Keep yourself away from me, monster!" And my legs did what I wanted; they stood up.
He tried to come closer to me. 'Leave me alone!' I screamed. Then the predictable
thing happened. While he came closer, i walked backwards, i still had my face in his direction. Then it happended. Aaaah! i screamed. I fell backwards. I saw my life flashing by. All the bad things. I had no good things. My parents who are dead. My whole life being alone. What had i actually done with my life? Nothing. And now i just had to wait to fall in the water. Or burst on the rocks. I closed my eyes. And waited for the moment to die. But i didn't felt the wind of my fall anymore. And i didn't felt the water or the rocks.
I opened my eyes. Unbelievable. I was lying in his arms. And i didn't felt anything. No pain, no anger. I only could think about the fact that he saved me. I looked him in his eyes. He did the same thing. I wasn't afraid of Lucas anymore. He saved me. But where did we ended? I glanced around me. I was speachless. We stood on one of the rocks. If he wasn't there, I would have been dead. But how did he landed with his whole body? He supposed to my splashed.
'What are you, Lucas?' i asked slowly.
He sighed.
I felt so comfortable in his arms, so secure, that I didn't realize we were all wet until another wave crashed against our bodies. Then I was aware we were on the rocks, with a very angry sea around us.
Lucas' face was so sad, full of pain. I could feel it wasn't easy for him to tell me the truth. It wasn't something that he could tell like it was nothing.
Watching his face so destroyed broke my heart, and I couldn't help touching his cheek. It was so cold, it was so sweet to feel my skin against his. He looked at me; his eyes were asking me for compassion. They were all like 'don't do this to me'.
I wanted to say him some words, to show he could trust me. But I was totally mesmerized by his eyes, his nose, his lips…
I touched his cheek again, and when I pronounced his name, it started to rain. Exactly at that moment.
He closed his eyes for a while, it seemed like he was having a war inside him. I waited, adoring his beauty. Another wave crashed against us.
"I am here" I said, slowly, undertoned and sweetly.
He looked at me for the last time before he opened his mouth and showed me his teeth –so white, brilliant and pure -. His canines were too big –not as mines, not as a dog or as another thing -, they were too sharp.
Something inside me, such a thunder, made me understand everything. I just could, wanted and needed to say one thing. Just a word.
"Vampire" we said at the same time.
