Minutes passed. We still looked eachother in the eyes. Mesmerized by eachother.
I wanted him to say something. Anything. That did not matter at that time.
But he did not.
The next days were weird. Mysterious killings happened. But it wasn't Lucas, I was sure.
Two girls of my age were ripped apart. The bodies were out of blood. Not even a drop.
All of their bones were broken.
The arms, legs, heads, and every other body piece was ripped of their body,
and the one who did it, had put their body pieces back on.
How could someone be so cruel? It was a vampire I was sure.
And then there was that family. Three kids. Two parents. One dog. All dead. But the dog was not out of blood.
He was just dead. Every body had something in comment. No blood. And their necks were ripped apart.
The police is investigating it. But I already knew that there was nothing that they could find.
Lucas was worried. He didn't knew what to do. He wanted to protect me, keep me away from all of this.
But there was no way that I would leave him.
We will protect eachother, no matter what happens.
He wasn't close to me anyway. When he was near, I could feel how difficult that closeness was for him. And I always tried to ignore that little fact, but the red line of his eyes grew up when I was closer of him.
One day we were waiting for the teacher in the class. But she never showed, instead, the headteacher came in. With the voice full of sadness, he said our teacher had been… murdered.
I couldn't help taking Lucas' arm with all my strength. He put his arm around my body, protecting me, though we were in the middle of the class.
When we were out, on the field of the school, I needed to ask him.
"It was a vampire" I said, my tone was empty of any feeling.
He said nothing. So I talked again; I needed to say something, I couldn't be quiet. I didn't have family or friends, so teachers were persons very closer of me.
"It does no matter; you don't have to feel bad. It wasn't your fault".
He said nothing again, staring at the floor.
"It wasn't you" I said, watching the floor too.
"How do you know that?" He talked for the first time.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"I feel it".
I was totally surprised when he held my hand. I did nothing, I only could pay attention to our hands together.
We were out of school already.
"Thank you" He said, touching my cheek with the other hand "That is very important to me".
"What?" I asked.
"Your confidence about me". He smiled, and I smiled too. We were quiet for awhile, and then we started to walk again –still holding hands.
"How do you get it? I mean, how vampires live between us, humans." I asked.
He laughed.
"We don't actually. I'm kind of an exception".
"So, there's no other vampire at school, huh?" I asked, to make him laugh again. It was so comfortable, and he seemed such sad these days.
I got it and he started to laugh out loud.
"You say it as if you're disappointed for that" he said.
"Well, if the Biology teacher is not a vampire… I don't know what he is" I said, kidding again.
He laughed a lot, and I could see his canines there, so big. But I didn't care. We walked into the class, and sat down on our seats. Then he continued:
"Vampires prefer live as nomads, to don't make a town feel something is going wrong with so many murders. I do it as well" he looked the ground again "But I'm at school because I needed something, there was someone waiting for me, I always knew that since the first time I saw that person" He said.
'That person is you.'
I looked deep into his eyes, and smiled. He smiled back. But then his face became dark and emotionless. The white part of his eye became red. His veins under his eyes became very dark. Slowly they grew. His canines grew too.
'Lucas?' I asked panicked.
I only heard him growling. 'Go away.'
'No.'
'Please Luna, you don't want to see this.'
'What's happening to you?'
He looked away. Now I saw what he really was. He was a monster. But I didn't care. I had to help him.
I looked around me and searched for a motive. Then I saw what was wrong. Someone in class was bleeding. There was very much blood. The whole class was panicked because of the guy, they stood around him, so they could not see us.
'Lucas, take my hand.'
'No. I can't hurt you.'
'You won't.' I was not sure about that. But I just wanted to calm him down.
Then, he took my hand very slowly. 'You're alright.' I wispered to him.
He was breathing very fast. But slowly he calmed down.
Slowly his veins disappeard, and his eyes turned a little normal again. Well, his eyes were never normal, it was one of a kind. Nobody has those kind of eyes.
He looked at me. 'You see? You're alright.' I said.
'This isn't alright Luna,' he answered. 'I almost killed someone.'
'But you didn't.'
'If you were not here... He.. He would have been dead by now'.
The next day Lucas wasn't at school. I was worried.
I decided to go to the changing room to put my gym clothes on. Gym was one of the lessons I hated the most. But I had to. Nobody was there yet. I just thought that it was just better. When I was done, I opened the door to go to the gymnasium. Empty. The lights were on though. I wanted to walk to the banks, but suddenly the lights were off. It was totally dark. I just stood there in the middle of the gymnasium, waiting for the lights to go on. But they didn't. I sighed. I walked to the door, I took the door handle, but it was locked! I searched for the lightpulls. But then someone pulled me. I fell on the ground. I heard creepy noises. A kind of noise that you make when you're running very fast. But this was very quiet. I felt gusts along me.
I started running. I didn't know why, but I was just afraid.
'Hi beautiful'. A strange voice said. It was like I had heard that voice before.
It wasn't Lucas' voice.
I tried to think about who he could be. Think.
Then, someone tapped my shoulder. Shocked I turned my body. You will never guess what happened then.
It was like everything happened in slow-motion.
Slowly he put his lips on mine.
He tasted so.. I can't descibe it in words.
I was shocked. Totally shocked. What happens? I asked to myself.
He tasted like heaven. I had never experienced it.
I still had my eyes closed, and I just let it happen.
Seconds passed.
Then we stopped. I opened my eyes. It was still dark, but I could see his beautiful jaw, his deep grey eyes, his dark eyebrows. It was perfection.
I was speechless.
I waited for him to say something. Then he started:
'Well.. I haven't introduced myself to you, I'm Darren. Darren Corleone'.
His voice was amazing.
'I... I am Luna'.
'Just Luna?'
'No, uhh, Luna Amador.'
He smiled. I saw his teeth. The same as Lucas has. Long canines. It was Lucas' brother.
He walked closer to me, and he tried to pull his lips on mine again.
'No, please, I... I am with Lucas'.
His face changed. His face became angry.
I pulled myself back. I was scared. So incredibly scared. I sighed irregular.
Then I started to run again, - I runned so much the last weeks.
I didn't scream, I just tried to stay as quiet as I could be. I felt those gusts again. He was following me.
'You're not getting away'. He said, as if it was nothing.
'Leave me alone!'
I heard him laugh. That scared me the most. He had an evil laugh, that I had never heard before. It was like he found it entertaining.
I runned to the door. It was still closed. I pulled on the doorpull as hard as I could.
'You're not getting away.'
I started to cry. 'Please, please!'
Slowly he walked to the door. When he came closer, I walked back. 'Alright. Tortured enough.'
What? He just enjoined to torture me!
He pulled the door open. I tried to push him away, but he just stood on the same place. He didn't leave. 'Let me trough.'
'I let you go for this time,' he started. 'I am going to get you, you're going to love me'. Then he let me go. He stayed in the gymnasium.
