CHAPTER 6

~sophie

A couple of hours later all four of us were standing outside in the woods. My body wasn't aching as badly as it was before and ( although only for a couple of hours ) the rest helped to.

I tried my best to not look nervous ( that would show weakness). Because I knew this is my life now and whether I like it or not I'm gonna need to learn how to live it.

Ryan was holding my hand as he said " alright so we'll start of small. Close your eyes and focus all your energy on your hearing sense. Because you're a fledgling your senses should be heightened so focus on hearing."

Doing as Ryan said i focused all of my thoughts on my hearing. At first all i heard was the wind blowing in the trees and the occasional bird song. I don't know why I wasn't getting anything. I was trying really hard.

Then i felt hands on my shoulders " easy relax. Don't think about it-" Ryan said.

" If I don't think about it hows it supposed to happen?" I asked frustrated.

" Well if you ever let me finnish you might know." Ryan replied. " Don't think...feel"

Closing my eyes again i focused my self one more time and allowed my body to relax. But again nothing happen. Just when i was about to complain again i heard it. Or rather felt it.

Their was a squirrel running up and down a tree somewhere, I just couldn't pin point where.

" I hear a squirrel running up a tree but I don't know which one." I said.

" Yeah i hear it to." Kelly said.

" That good." Finn said " Now while listening really carefully try to decide if the sound is in front, behind, right or left of you."

doing as he said i blocked everyone around me out, and focused on that one squirrel. Now letting my feet guide i turned slightly to my right.

"good Soph. Open your eyes. Next your going to use 2 senses at the same time."

Opening my eyes. i looked to Kelly who was still having some trouble. turning back to Ryan i said "Okay"

"i want you to look at the trees in front of you. Now using your eyes and ears find the tree the squirrel is on, then find the squirrel. once you've found the squirrel don't break eye contact."

looking up and down trees i saw... nothing.

" i don't see it." Kelly said. i could tell she was losing patience.

" I don't either ,Ryan" i said

" are you sure? Ryan replied

" yes I'm su-" i started ,but never finished because I saw it. not breaking eye contact opened my mouth to say i found it ,when Kelly blurted

" there it is!"

I started moving toward it when Finn grabbed my elbow. I hadn't even realized he'd come up behind me.

" Allow me." Ryan whispered in my ear making me jump. Damn these vamps were sneaky " watch me. Kelly has eye contact with your squirrel i've chosen a different pray."

I watched as Ryan bent down and picked up a rock tossing it in a bush. Nothing happen for a minute then the bushed rustled. I saw Ryan's eyes narrow as a bunny jumped out of the bush and Ryan picked it up by the fur around its neck. I knew what would happen next and so did Kelly cause I saw her gasp and close her eyes turning into Finn's chest so not to watched. but I didn't have anyone to turn into I was just standing there watching,frozen,staring at the bunny about to lose its life.

Lifting the bunny up to his mouth to bite it's neck. He hesitated for a moment to wink at me as if this was all some kind of cruel inside joke between the two of them. The next thing I knew I had to stifle a gasp at the sound of bones crunching as Ryan drank and blood dripped from his chin.

but hears the thing I wanted to be discussed i did. But what I want and reality never work out when I comes to me. And before I could stop myself I was walking over to Ryan. I stopped at his side putting my hand on his shoulder. looking up from his prey he caught my gaze. I didn't want him to but I knew that when he looked in my eyes he would see one thing...longing. longing for blood.

slowly ,never breaking eye contact with me he brought his mouth from his pray. I looked down at the bloody hare it smelled so good.

looking back to Ryan i whispered one word I couldn't stop... "please"

Ryan smiled down at me i knew he was loving this every minute of it. putting one hand around my waist and pulling me close he lifted the bunny to my mouth the fresh blood just brushing my lips. i closed my eyes and brought my hands up to hold the bunny as I sunk my teeth into it. Ryan let me hold the bunny as I drank, using his now free hand to push my hair behind my ears.

resting my head against his shoulder I drank every last bit of blood from the bunny. it was amazing. the feeling it gave me was unlike anything i've ever experienced.

when i was done i dropped the bunny on the ground and was sure i would've fallen to if Ryan hadn't been holding me. Opening my eyes and licking my lips. I saw Kelly staring at me like I had just kick newborn puppies for fun.

"Kelly i-"i started

"Don't." was all she said before turning on her heel and walking back to the house, Finn following. What have I done? I turned into Ryan and started to cry. leading me to a soft spot of grass Ryan sat down pulling me into his lap whispering things like I was going to be okay and she had to forgive me at some point because it was my nature. And although I knew he was right that didn't make what i had done any less horrible.
