Story of a shadow chapter 4
I knew it would be terrible. I would under-dress, or over dress. And what if we kissed? I'd never been kissed before!
Either way, I set all my worries aside and went for it. After I turned my whole room upside down (And even then went shopping), I ended up wearing my black skinny jeans, with the hidden knife holster; my purple satin blouse that had a classy casual look and a new leather jacket that I spent hours adding extra pockets for weapons. I don't know why, but I felt like I needed to.
We met at the cinema at 4'oclock and instantly I knew something was wrong. The usually busy cinema was silent, but there were still at least 30 people there. Suddenly, a slight buzz came across the cinema. A girl had come into the cinema, and to say she was beautiful would be an under-statement. Her blonde hair was fluffy and lay on her shoulders like a cloud. She wore a red top, low cut, and a black skirt. Her shoes were so tall, and were the brightest red i'd ever seen. She sauntered up to us and looked at Alec, almost curiously.
"So sorry to bother you," she spoke with an accent i couldn't quite place. "But my ex has dropped me off here, and left me. I have no idea where i am, and frankly, im scared. Could I borrow your phone? I'm Lola by the way."
"Sure." He handed her his phone, and she wandered off to make a call. She came back, and returned the phone, with hurried thanks. We wandered into the hall and started to talk.
"Well she was nice." I said casually.
"Eh. Seemed very arrogant, a bit like Jace. We should introduce her." He laughed. He was cut off short though, so i turned to see what it was.
Alec was gone, and in his place stood Lola, brandishing a blade that was seemingly made of blue fire. She swung it at me, and it hit my thigh, drawing blood. I tried to conjure a similar blade, but i couldn't. It dawned on me that the blade was made of water. I couldn't use magic.
I drew a seraph blade from my belt and thrust it at her. She deflected, and stabbed me in the wing. I collapsed in pain, but also horror. She could see my injured wings? She tried to stab me, but i pulled my last ounce of strength to roll away. A figure came into view, and stopped her from stabbing me fatally. A scream erupted from somewhere, and i collapsed in a pool of blood.
I woke up a few days later in the infirmary, and, to my surprise, Alec was there. He looked rough, like he hadn't slept in days. His hair was a mess and he had scars over his arms.
"So that was an interesting "date"." I tried to quote with my fingers, but it hurt like hell. "Care to tell me why the hell I'm here with six casts and a bloody wing?"
"Lola attacked you. No idea why, but we know that she was a vampire. Your okay though. The casts are just to keep you from moving. Because letting you out for five minutes was obviously a mistake." He looked apologetic.
"It wasnt your fault. It was mine for agreeing. Where's Charlotte anyway?"
He looked awkward, but truthful.
"She went out to find Lola. She got away when back up arrived you see. Charlotte wa instantly offened. She went out to find her. But.."
"But what?" i was worried, but Charlotte had to be okay.
"She didn't come back."
