Blood Bonds
Chapter 6
Jakob's P.O.V
Eve was completely oblivious. The surprise on her face was apparent when I feigned ignorance, this was good. Taking Drama and Theatre studies was obviously a brilliant idea; it taught me so many things. When Eve ran out of the house giving me a brief smile, it seemed suspicious. She was obviously up to something, I hadn't forgotten what a mishap the night before was. This is bad. Michael is…I don't know but when he looked at me with those crimson eyes I felt utterly alone and suddenly very young. He was something else…and I was going to find out what. Grabbing my bike from the doorway, a welcoming gift from Clair, and my keys I jump out and close the door behind me.
Seeing Eve's hearse expertly turn a corner, I smile. I'll be able to keep up with her, quite easily in a town like 'Morganville'. The town boasts many alleys and shortcuts, allowing me to navigate whilst keeping my eyes on the car. The sun is just starting its morning wake, the rays trying to burst through. I like the sun…it represents a certain someone. Hard to rise but beautiful when she does. I smirk to myself.
We soon reach the destination…wait why is she coming to school so soon? She doesn't usually open up…great. She parks up the car and cuts the engine before getting out and strolling her way over towards the café, her heels 'clip clopping' all the way. Unaware to the fact that I am directly opposite the road, she walks in without looking back and I lock my bike up against a railing making sure it is against the frame rather than the wheel. I saw on the news yesterday that thief's can take the tire off and take the frame as that is the most profitable part. Turning, I put the keys in my pocket to see another figure enter the café. Long black greasy hair and quite a tall figure, not as tall or buff as me or Shane. Hmm…
Following him as quiet as possible I look through the doorway to see Eve shriek and throw a chair at him before running into the backroom. My eyes widen as the guy slowly walks over to the door, obviously taking his time for a reason. A frown makes its way onto my face, who does this guy think he is? I slide my way into the room before he reaches the door. Taking care not to make any noise, I take a wooden chair down from its table top and make my way over to him as he looks through the door window. Eve's terrified face looks back and as she sees the guy's face a look of confusion overtakes her before she spots me preparing to swing and she rapidly shakes her head. The idiot thinks it is to him and gives a smirk before the chair legs crash into the back of his head.
Now…normally a guy would be on the floor like he is now but the last thing I was expecting was this guy to just shake it off and stand up glowering at me. I manage to give off a weak smile before his fist connects with my jaw sending me crashing back. I grunt and land on the floor in a heap before this…thing is upon me again. It picks me up by my collar, elevating me into the air. He ignores my attempts to break free and raises the hand that isn't currently blocking my airway, preparing to strike me again.
The hand comes forward and I expectantly close my eyes before I am suddenly on the floor again. Stumbling, I open my eyes and catch myself to see the guy in the same position however with eyes as wide as tennis balls. He falls forward and lands with a bang. I spot Eve, looking fierce and determined. The next thing I look at is the body on the floor with a …chair leg dug into his back. Weirder things have happened…no they really haven't. Eve gives me a weak smile when I look back at her and I walk towards her before picking her up in my arms and squeezing her into me.
"Okay," I say, putting her down."What the actual hell?" I ask waiting for either me to wake up or for everyone to burst in laughing at me. This is neither a dream nor a joke.
"Right, there is no real way around this. Claire is gunna gut me and all but heck you saw what you saw. That," She points at the figure on the floor. "Is a vampire. And I," She then points to herself. "Just staked it."
Well…that's one way to keep it simple. I erupt into a fit of laughter ending in a snicker and I wipe away a tear from my eye. Eve keeps a straight composure giving me an icy glaze."This is not a joke. Vampires are real." She says solemnly. Suddenly, I know she isn't joking and this is all a reality. That's a lot to get my head around.
"So…Michael is a vampire?" I ask simply. Eve gasps.
