Chapter 16

I waited on the bed, I had a piece of towel held to my neck, it just didn't want to stop bleeding, and I just didn't want to pass out like I should have already. I heard footsteps and Rebeca walk into the room she had the gallon jug. She gave me a confused look about the towel.

"What..." Her eyes widen in realization. She ran over to me and wrapped her arms around me but pushed me flat on the bed from her momentum.

"Are you ok?" She asked me.

"I've been better but I think I'm ok," I told her.

"Awwww..." She trailed leaning her head on my chest. Drink... I heard my thoughts tell me. No I responded. The thoughts didn't persist. I embraced her and smiled.

"It's ok," I told her. She looked up at me.

"No, it's not ok," She told me.

"I'm sorry, I feel like this is my fault," She said, she started to cry into my chest.

"I didn't want any of this, I didn't really want to drink from you, I didn't want everyone to stare, I didn't want you to get interrogated and I didn't want you to get hurt," She said crying.

"Shhhhhhh," I said rubbing the back of her head with my hand. She still cried.

"Shhhhh..." I trailed. She quieted down a little.

"Your mom suspects something," I told her.

"I know, I think they all do and that's why they treat you so coldly," She said sniveling.

"Now, now don't start crying again," I said rubbing her head again. We were quiet for awhile.

"Do you want to go?" She asked me.

"No," I told her, she smiled.

"Thank you," She said.

"Thank you," I told her.

"For letting me over," I said clarifying. She nodded. She leaned against my chest and we fell asleep on my bed. I heard a voice but couldn't force my unconsciousness to end.

"Rebeca," I heard her mom say, she shook Rebeca a little. Rebeca stired.

"I need to talk to you," she said quietly.

"I don't want to leave," She said, I smiled inside.

"It's important," Her mom said.

"Fine," She said annoyed she got up off me slowly and softly, so as not to wake me. I heard the footsteps walk away and the door close softly. I slipped away and slept no matter how much I didn't want to.

I woke up at my normal time, 12:30 at night. I was thirsty as hell. I threw my feet over the bed and let them hang a few inches off the ground. She'd never knew if you drank from her now, she's asleep, right across the hall... No! I argued with my self. I could feel that it wanted to persist but it didn't. It's getting harder and harder, but I swore to myself that I wouldn't do it. No matter what happened. I would kill myself before I'd do that to her. I walked quietly out of the room and down the stairs, I hoped that I'd just wander into the kitchen. Eventually I did, I opened the frig, I saw a bunch of food stuff but a package caught my attention, it had a small plate of food and a gallon of water next to it, it had a small note next to it.

"Mich, hope you like the food and I know that you'll like the water :)" I read the note to myself.

"Thanks Rebeca," I said softly. I got the plate and water and started out of the kitchen, I felt an elbow slam into my face I went down hard and the plate crashed, even heavy sleepers would hear that. I slammed the back of my head into the floor.

"Ouch!" I cried. I felt knees on my chest and a hand at my throat I looked up, It was dark with some light. I saw that it was clair.

"Clair, it's me Mich," I told her. I felt a fist slam into my face and her hand tightening around my throat. My head was knocked back and hit the ground. I saw a few people out of the corner of my eye. I felt another fist, this one hit right above my left eye. I saw the lights go on and it blinded me temporary I felt another hit. I saw some more people gather around, they could see me and I was sure that Clair could.

"Clair! What are you doing?" I heard Rebeca say. And another hit. She really must have hatted me. I expected another hit but instead, her knees went off my chest. I looked up, Rebeca had pulled Clair off me, I started to breath heavily trying to refil my lungs with air.

"Travis, take her," Rebeca said.

"Right," He said. I saw Rebeca kneel near me.

"Mich are you ok?" She asked. I nodded.

"You know, I should've saw this coming," I told her. She sighed.

"But I would've thought that she would've stopped if I told her who I was, apparently I was wrong," I said leaning my head lightly against the tiled floor. Rebeca got up and looked Clair in the eye.

"Did he tell you who he was?" She asked Clair.

"No, I didn't hear him, I didn't see him, even after the lights came on," She told Rebeca.

"Your such a horrible lier," Rebeca spat at her.

"I'm not lying. And I resent what your implying," She said. Rebeca was right she's a horrible lier.

"I bet you felt good, beating Mich up. What is your problem with him?" Rebeca asked.

"I don't think that he's good enough for you," She told me. Rebeca shook her head.

"First of all, I don't think I'm good enough for him," Rebeca said.

"Second of all, I chose him so what do you have to say now?" She asked Clair.

"I know your hiding something about him, we all know that, we want to know," Clair demanded. I heard murmurers of approval. Rebeca looked at me, by now everyone was here even those who were in the guest houses. She was asking me what do I do? I nodded, do what you want to do.

"Your right, I haven't been completely forthcoming," She said and told them everything she started up from the day that she told me she was a vampire, up to my confession on the way to her house. They didn't interrupt and were silent when she had finished.

"So what do you think is happening?" Alice asked one of us, I wasn't sure who.

"I don't know," me and Rebeca said at once.

"I...I...I wished I knew," Rebeca said looking down.

"I've got a confession," I told them. They all looked at me.

"I...I know why I'm so thirsty, because water isn't satisfying my thirst..." I trailed. I couldn't believe that I was about to say what I was going to say.

"I think that blood would," I said, a think I heard a gasp.

"Rebeca's," I said looking at her. She turned to me, she looked a little scared.

"If that's true I don't want you near my daughter," I heard Rebeca's mother say.

"I think that you should leave," I heard her Dad say.

"NO!" Rebeca cried out.

"He's not leaveing," She said. "I don't want him to. He wouldn't hurt me, he hasn't yet so I think that he is completely under control of his urges."

"I don't think..." I heard someone start.

"No! I won't hear anything else," She said. I saw some people nod to each other. I saw a pair of people take Rebeca's arms.

"What...What are you doing?" She asked. About 5 converged on me. Instincts kicked in. I crouched low, all of them backed up a little probabily the red eyes caught them off guard. I pressed the advantage, I moved quickly behind the one to the far left. I kicked his knees out from under him, he buckled. I jumped up and kicked the guy next to him in the face, he was sent back sprawling before the other 3 had started to move. I risked a glance at Rebeca to see how she was doing. She was restrained, but not quite settled down. She was kicking and screaming. I saw a flash of lighting streak right over my shoulder, I felt the tingle, but knew to move so I did. Another flash would've hit my head if I hadn't moved. I lunged at the guy with his hand out, I assume that it was him that was shooting the lighting. He was about to fire again, I grabbed his arm and twisted it towards him, breaking his arm, and hitting himself with his own lighting. I saw a girl throw a punch at me, I dodged and it made a hole in the wooden wall, I didn't want to get hit by her. I ducked under another girls kick, she was faster than me but I was good at predicting movements. In fact, it was Arial who was trying to kick me. I backed up, I had my back to the corner, I saw the situation being very bleak, 2 active hostiles and plenty more where they came from.

"Give Mich," I heard Arial say.

"Before we really hurt you," She finished.

"Oh, I bet that is what you'd like to do," I said. Arial came at me quickly, somehow I dodged and she slammed her foot into the corner I had been backed into. I moved past the super strength girl with ease. I moved to where Rebeca was being held, I hit the first person holding her in the face, I moved the second guy but Rebeca grabbed me by the face, with both hands on the side of my head I felt the air get sapped out of my lungs, I couldn't breath. I fell to the ground and slipped into unconsciousness.
