Chapter 11
I woke up early in the morning, about 12 in the morning. I was cold. And got dressed. I was more of a heavy sleeper but I was awake at 12.
"This sucks," I told myself.
"What should I do?" I wondered. I guess I could go running. I got out of the house.
"This is unreal," I said. I could actually see about as good a twilight in a half moon light. I said. I started running towards Rebeca's house. I ran the entire way, about 30 minutes, and I was just fatigued and I didn't stop.
"This isn't real," I said to myself. I had a bottle a water with me and downed it. Should I do what Rebeca did to me? I asked myself. I wondered what she would do, she would be more than a little freaked out. I was feeling a little mischievous tonight. I walked over to the window, it was about 3 stories up. I smiled, vines, classical, I thought. I jumped from a standing position and got up about 5 ft, I dropped down,
"Whoa," I said. I 5ft high on a standing start. I backed up and made a running start and jumped I landed against the wall with a slight thud,
"Whoops," I said quietly. I had gotten at least 12 ft in the air. I started to climb, I had tried to climb these vines before and it took me 5 minutes from the ground, this time it took me about 3. I opened her window silently and closed it so the cold air wouldn't wake her. I walked over to her desk and sat in it's chair. I was surprised, she looked at ease, peaceful. I know people always say that, but it she really did look peaceful.
"Mich," She said in her sleep. I watched her for hours, she kept calling my name, she seemed happy though, hours might have passed but it felt like minutes. She opened her eyes and looked around the room. She must have gotten that feeling you get when your being watched, the feeling that tells you your being watched. She saw me in the chair I smiled and nodded. She gasped and shot up from her laying position, pulling her top cover with her.
"What...What are you doing," She asked.
"I decided to go for a stroll," I said lightly. She glared at me.
"I couldn't sleep, I went to bed at 3 yesterday and woke up at 12 midnight, and I ran here, without stopping and I wasn't exhausted, whats more, I can see like in twilight at half moon night," I said I was getting hysterical.
"What the hell is going on with me?" I asked.
"What about the pain?" She asked.
"What pain, I haven't gotten it since yesterday," I told her.
"First of all let me get dressed," She said. I hopped out her window and landed on the extension's roof about 10 feet down and I barely felt any shock, and I didn't make that much noise. What the hell is wrong with me? I asked myself.
"Come back," She said. I climbed the vines back up and jumped back through the window. She had on a bright red long sleeve shirt with tight blue jeans.
"You look nice," I said with a smile.
"Why..." She stopped I had answered that question.
"I guess that you don't like it when your boyfriend watches you sleep, is there an echo?" I asked with a smile.
"Actually, it's not that bad, but still I didn't expect it," she said.
"There is an echo in here," I said.
"Stop being smart," She scolded me.
"Ok, so why were you calling my name?" I asked.
"Oh...You heard that," She said embarrassed a little and blushing.
"I...I was having a good dream," She admitted.
"How good?" I asked with a sly smile.
"Impossible good," She told me.
"That's sad," I told her.
"mmmhummm," She agreed.
"Could you tell me anyway?" I asked. She blushed,
"It's kind of embarrassing," She told me, hiding her face with her hand.
"If it's too embarrassing then you don't have to say, but I don't mind," I told her.
"Ok. Well the dream started at the upcoming family reunion. I was walking by your side, hanging on to your arm. Everyone was staring at us, well, more like staring at you. You were still deathly pale. We walked until we were in the middle of the room. When out of nowhere, you stopped and spun in front of me. You put your big hands on my shoulders and leaned towards me, I closed my eyes and expected to feel your soft lips on my lips. Instead I felt long pointed teeth sink into my neck and an indescribable feeling of pleasure washed over me, I barely registered that you were drinking my blood. That is when the dream ended," She said.
"Interesting dream. But yeah, impossibly good," I said.
"Yeah," She said looking down.
"So, you said that something new has happened?" She asked.
"Yeah, I can run for half an hour without stopping. I can sprint for about 5 minutes, going about 30 mph(Author Note: That's about twice as fast as a normal human can go sprinting). I can also climb about twice as well as I had been able to," I told her.
"Well, those are vampiric powers tuned down," She said. I poked my teeth with my tongue.
"No fangs," I said.
"And you definitely are past the time where you should have gotten them," She said, I expected a small smile but none came at all.
"Something wrong?" I asked.
"Well...Never mind," She said hesitation a plenty in her voice.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I...I...No, please drop it?" She asked.
"Ok, if your sure," I told her.
"I am," She said quickly.
"Ok then, I'll drop it," I told her. She threw her hands around my neck and kissed me, I put my hand on her waist and held her, she was smiling. We stared into each others green eyes, hers bright and sparkling, mine dark and deep. I just realized how our eyes match each other. We were standing, she moved backwards taking me with her. She hit the bed and fell back, still taking me with her. I could feel that she was very happy, against me and the bed. I kept telling myself, where's the interruption, their's always a fucking interruption, not that I wanted one but that is always what happened. But one didn't come yet. She slipped her tongue into my mouth and mine her's. God this felt good, She was thinking the exact same thing. Our tongues touching it was heaven, absolute heaven was the only way I could describe it. We stayed like that for god knows how long. She finally moved away and took great gasping breaths, she must have forgotten to breath, I did too because I was doing the same thing.
"Wow," She said after she had finished gasping and her breathing back to normal.
"Wow is right," I said smiling.
"And wow I didn't bite you too," She said with a smile.
"That too," I agreed, it was nice, no interruption and no biting. Not that the biting was bad in any means, but it tends to interrupt what's happening. I looked over at her digital clock, in neon green color it read 6:45. She saw me looking at the clock.
"I guess you should get going," She said reluctantly, I knew her reluctance, I was feeling the same way.
"I soppose I should, I'll pick you up at 7:30. Ok?" I asked.
"Ok," she said with a smile.
"See you then," She said. I got out the window and proceeded to jog home.
I got back to my house about 30 minutes later. I climbed back into my room from the window. I heard my door knock, I got back just in time I thought. I walked across my room and opened the door It was Mom
"Just seeing if you had woken up, it's 7:17. She said.
"Yeah, I'm up," I told her.
"That's good," She said and walked away. I walked behind her to go to the kitchen. I gathered up some cereal, milk and juice. I went back to my room and ate my breakfast. It was about 7:20 when I finished. I had to leave soon after finishing eating.
"Bye!" I yelled to Mom.
"Bye!" She replied. I got out the door and opened my Kia driver side door. But first I checked my car so I didn't have any surprises like I had last time. I didn't have any. I started the car and drove to Rebeca's house. I got their about a minute late. She must have saw or heard my car because as soon as I pulled up to the driveway she was out the door. She opened the door and closed it, she put her seat belt on and I pulled out.
"Hey," She said.
"Hey," I said back.
"Any unwelcome visits?" She asked.
"Nope, you?" I asked with a smile.
"Nope," She said smiling. We drove to the school in silence.
"Any pain yet?" She asked.
"Nope not yet and I hope it's finished," I replied.
"That's good, I really didn't like when you were like that," She said.
"I know," I told her. We continued the drive. We finally got to school. It was about 7:51 when we got to school.
"Are you prepared?" She asked.
"For what I asked?" I asked turning to her.
"Skin," She hinted.
"Oh right, I guess that I just didn't notice it that much after the first time," I told her.
"You don't look at your skin that much do you?" She asked.
"No not really," I said.
"Meh, just don't get too freaked out, the pressure of a hundred eyes changes people," She told me.
"I think I'll survive, I don't change from peer pressure easily," I assured her. I got out of the car and opened her door for her. I was fast, I didn't really notice it, but everything was moving a little slower than it normally was, it was surreal.
"Whoa," She said surprised.
"Your faster," She said.
"Thanks," I told her with a smile. I took her hand and helped her out the car, she blushed and turned away embarrassed.
"Hey guys," I heard Ralph say. I guess I couldn't stay from school. I wasn't sick, but it didn't look like that, it looked worst, I looked dead. I took a breath and turned to face Ralph and probabily Jessica.
"Hey hows it going," I said. Both of their jaws dropped. Jessica screamed.
"Dude are you ok? Do you know you look DEAD?" He asked still his jaw dropped.
"I don't know how I don't know how I look dead," I told him.
"but no I'm not dead, and I'm fine," I told him.
"What the hell happened?" He asked me. I sighed, I knew that question was going to be asked but I didn't know how to give a plausible explanation.
"What did you do to him?!" Jessica screamed at Rebeca. That was a shocker, coming from Jessica and the fact that she automatically blamed Rebeca. It wasn't good at least a quarter of the school was still in the parking lot. Rebeca looked like she was going to explode.
"I think we should be going," I said. Pulling Rebeca with me to the school entrance. It was going to be a long day I thought.
