"I can't believe it!" Elsie shrieked once we were home. "You sent me to a catholic private school!" She turned to look at Emily.
"Don't look at me, I wasn't the one with the vision!" Emily hissed and Elsie turned to me.
"YOU!"
"I didn't know it was a catholic school." I shrugged and moved forward. "We might not be here that long anyway." It was something my body felt sure of even though I did not see that far into our future. I stepped forward and up the stairs to my tower, shutting the door behind me as I did so. The sounds from down stairs were snuffed out for the most part. I removed my blazer and backpack and draped them over the back of my desk chair.
"Hey," Aurora peaked in. "You okay?" A look of worry flashed across her face.
"I'm fine. Thanks." I gave her a half smile. "Why wouldn't I be okay?" She shrugged.
"Emily's going to ask if you see anything about them." Aurora looked at me.
"Tell her I haven't." I shook my head and opened the door wider for me to step out of the room. She moved out of my way and I smiled at her.
"Going for a run." Aurora smiled. "I'll leave you be for a bit." She scanned my mind for a bit searching for some distinct reason. She frowned when her scan retrieved nothing more than a sudden urge. I was the only one aside from Solomon that Aurora considered family. I smiled at her and pressed down stairs. Emily and the others looked at me curiously when I stepped downstairs. I ignored their stares and bolted out of the house into a nearby forest.
The feeling of the wind sending my long brunette locks flowing behind me felt intoxicating. It was something I missed doing when we were in large cities like Chicago, New York and the like. Running, my past time, my hobby.
I took a shallow right turn and started heading off toward some indistinct direction when the scent hit me. Sugary sweet. A scent I knew all too well. Vampire. A vampire had treaded onto 'our' territory. I stopped contemplating chasing them or staying to get assistance. Before long, my territorial instinct kicked in and I was flying after the culprit.
As I got closer and closer, it became a he. He was fast, I'll give him that but not fast enough. In due time I saw him: dark brown almost black hair, jeans, grey unzipped hoody following him like a flag. I lunged and caught him. We wrestled until he pinned me to the ground. His eyes black as night and a face so gorgeous it should have belonged to a god. His face was inches away from mine as he let out a low aggressive hiss.
"You're on Ives Territory." I growled. He didn't respond aside from another low hiss. His eyes traced my face, taking in every detail he could. His jaw clenched before he tore himself off me and raced away. I looked after him and tried to squeeze the distance between us. I didn't stop until I crashed head first into what felt like a barrier. I stood up and placed my hands on the invisible wall and felt around thinking there was some sort of break, tear, or hidden door. Nothing. Absolutely Nothing.
