Blood Bonds

Diary Entry 1
Erm...hey! I have been thinking bout starting this diary entry for a while now...it seems like a good idea to 'channel what I'm feeling' I guess. This Monica girl keeps trying to flirt with me, I just try my best to ignore her. She just doesn't want to take no for an answer I guess. Hmph. Anyway, what's up with life so far? It's been three days since I came to Morganville High, Texas. I like it here. The others make me feel at home, like I belong. I have been having the same dream though...every night. The only way I can describe it is...disturbing. I made some good friends at school though, Rachel and Sam especially. Sam is this really cool guy, he is popular but.. doesn't act it. Rachel, she is just...wow. She is an amazing singer, not the most poplar girl but who cares? Anyway it's quite late, I better go.
Checking out,
J.
I look up from my extract just as Claire walks into my room.
"Hey how's school?" she asks me. I smile a reply.
"You okay?" She asks me cautiously, sensing something is wrong with me. A short smile pulls at my lips.
"Yeh, I'm good. It's just this girl at school, Monica." Claire's eyes narrow and she purses her lips. "She won't leave me alone, all she does is flirt with me. It's annoying." I finish lamely, sensing her anger.
Claire's P.O.V
I see red.
"Why didn't you tell me before?" I ask quickly, annoyed. This makes Jakob look worried. Oh well! He should have told me!
"Hey! Don't blame me! I thought if I ignored her then she would just leave me alone...obviously not." he gives a half shrug. I glare at him for a second longer than I should have before closing my eyes and pinching the bridge of my nose.
"I'll talk to her tomorrow. She is like an annoying puppy. Once you meet her it's like she will never go away." I sigh and walk out of his room, closing the door behind me.
Jakob's P.O.V
I growl and punch my pillow when Claire goes, so it's my fault now? Sorry, I'll just stop being attractive then I guess. I sigh heavily and fall back on to my bed. I pull my quilts up above my head, not bothering to get undressed. I quickly find the dream.
In the room is a woman. She has elegant, golden hair and a smile which sweeps you off your feet. Her majestic dress flows as an unpredicted chill sweeps through the room. Her ruby lips curl into a smile as she pats the spare space on the couch, gesturing for me to go and sit with her. Without realising, my feet guide me towards her and I sit next to her. I feel awkward, just her presence is enough to make me want to bow and worship the ground she walks on. She tilts her head to the side and leans in close enough that I can feel her breath sweep down my neck. My vision zooms in on her eyes. Without warning her eyes flicker in a blink and the iris' expand, turning a blood red colour matching her lips. The sweet smile turns into a sickly sneer and she screams at me.
I wake up and rub my eyes, getting rid of the sleep before rolling them. Great, it happened again. I roll over and pick up my neon flashing alarm clock before flinching away Owch, bright. I open my eyes again and look, great. It's only 2am. I only got three hours sleep. I open my mouth, it's as dry as the desert. I try to get some saliva into my mouth however it doesn't do much.
Sighing, I stand up, barefoot and slowly creep over to the door, the others will probably be in ed at this time. I creak open my door and walk down the hallway on my tiptoes, trying to be quiet as possible. That's when I hear it, a giggle. Faint but still there.
I put my ear against Claire's door and hear the soft sound of her snoring, plus Shane's heavy one. I roll my eyes, she must have calmed down.
That leaves Eve and Michael, what are they doing up at this time? I walk over to their door and put my ear up against it.
"Owch Michael that hurts." Eve whispers then giggles after. This confuses me, she is liking the pain? What is he doing to her. My eyes widen, this is bad...really bad. I sling open the door and run in. Michael is in a corner with a body curled his. He looks up at me, eyes scarlet red and blood staining his teeth. I shiver. This is a dream, this isn't right. The body sits up and I see Eve, looking slightly distraught. Putting her arms around Michael, she exposes some of her neck, there are two holes there...with blood around the edges.
