Rejection At First Sight

Chapter 2 - The Eyes In The Woods

I woke up the following morning, feeling dreary. I slugged my body out of my bed and went over to window. I pulled the curtains apart expecting a burst of sunshine, but was greeted with snow. Guess I'm not in North Carolina anymore.
I hopped down the stairs and opened the fridge. WOAH. She filled this thing up! I got out the eggs and bacon and started to make the delicious breakfast.
As I was munching down some eggs, my phone started to ring, my paramore ringtone blaring.
"Hello?" My mouth was full of eggs.

"Hey Lizzy, I thought maybe you would want to explore downtown with me today?"
"Yea, that sounds fine. But, isn't it raining?"
I heard her give a slight chuckle. "Not anymore darling. I'll pick you up around 2. It'll give you some time to start unpacking."
"Yea, that sounds fine.." I hung up and gulped down the rest of my breakfast. I made my way over to the boxes. This is going to be a looong day.

----
I plopped down on my white sofa. "FINALLY." I finished the last of the boxes before its time to go and I have - I looked at the clock. "OH MY GOD, only 30 minutes to get ready."

I ran upstairs and took a quick shower. I threw on some jeans and a plaid button up shirt. I threw my hair up in a bun and applied some mascara. I didn't look half bad if I say so myself.
I heard the doorbell ring. I could smell my aunt's perfume, so I knew who it was. Lol, I loved my senses. I used my speed to get to the door fast. It feels SO good to use them, when I lived with my mother we were not allowed to do anything.
I looked at my Aunty, and took in how beautiful she was. She was a vampire also, being on my dad's side of the family. She looked way younger than 47 though.
"Hey Aunty." I greeted, hugging her.
"Hey Darling, you all ready to go?"
"Of course, just let me grab my phone."
I ran to the kitchen, grabbed my phone and left, locking the house.

It was a 10 minute drive into town. The car ride was awkwardly .... nice. We stopped infront of a shop called EMILY MEATS. I scrunched up my forehead, confused on what we were doing at the meat store.
"I just have to get a few things for the house honey. There's a gift shop down the street if you don't want to come inside or wait." I nodded and walked down the street, looking for the gift shop. I saw the gift shop about 5 stores down. I started to walk toward it, but something hard hit me from behind, making me fall over.
"Ow, what the fuck..?" I picked myself up, rubbing my head.
"Oh my god, I am sorry!" I looked up and some dude was standing beside me, and bruise forming upon his face.
"Are you okay? Do I need to call for help? My skateboard accidently slipped out under my feet, and I couldn't catch my balance."
"Nah, I'm okay. And it's okay.. Accidents happen." I looked up at him, studying his features. He had brownish blondish hair, stood up to about 6'1 with blue eyes. He has a slight beard growing on him, with bags under his eyes....and was a werewolf. I could smell dog ever since I got out the car.
"Do you know what I am?.." I asked cautiously.
"A vampire, yes. But around here we don't hate. Unlike down South. The Alpha and King changed that rule up here about 2 years ago, since we live in the same town." Agh, curse Aunty for not telling me. I felt stupid. "But, It's okay if didn't know. I can tell you're new around here. I'm Ryan Newly." He extended his hand out towards me. I don't like touching people..a past that I don't want to bring back up. I didn't want to seem rude though, so I put my hand in his.
"I'm Elizabeth Chancler, but people call me Lizzy. I shook his hand quickly, before bringing mine back.
"Nice to meet you Lizzy, but I have to get going." He grabbed his skateboard, looking at me for a quick second, sort of like.. Deeply, and rode off. That was weird.
I walked into the gift shop. Herbert's Gift Shop, hmm fancy. I walked around, not really paying attention to any of the unique items. I was to busy in my thoughts. That guy gave me a weird feeling. How did I not see him when I get out the car. There was no one around.
"Hey Lizzy, you ready to go look around town?" Aunty touched my shoulder, jumping me out of my thoughts.
"Oh uh, sure." I followed her out of the store, and waited for her to put the meats in her car. She said the town was small, so it wouldn't take to long and we could walk.
We walked around town, which took about 10 minutes. Wow fun, hah. She pointed out all the shops, so I knew where I could get my clothes and groceries for cheap. She also showed me, where all the "teenagers" hung out. It was some Bar and Grill place. Some place I would probably never step foot in.
Aunty bought me a couple of new clothes, more of a mom than my own mother. This was actually a nice day, I thought as we got into the car. She drove me back home and as I was about to get out, Aunty stopped me.
"Make sure you keep all door locked. Wouldn't want no hooligans hurting you or this place."
"You have nothing to worry about." I kissed her cheek and got out. I watched her pull off and walked into the house. It was only 4:00. I took my new bags of clothes and tried them all on. None of them really were my style, but hey. It wouldn't hurt.
I walked downstairs and laid down the couch. I turned the tv on, not even bothering to change it and dozed off.
-----
When I woke up, my stomach was growling. I haven't eaten since this morning. I looked at my phone, it was 10:00 p.m. I went into the kitchen, and opened the fridge getting out some sandwhich stuff. As I was done, I walked over to the sink, setting the knife I used to layer my mayonnaise. As I did that, I quickly glanced up looking out the window, and my body went still.
Out there, a little ways into the woods , my eyes locked with another pair. A yellow pair. They were staring at me. For some reason, it looked like they has... Hurt or.. Maybe even anger in them. Like a mixture. It only lasted for a quick second, and when I blinked they were gone.
I looked away, hurrying out of the kitchen. After eating my sandwhich, I made sure every door was locked. I walked upstairs and went into my room, getting under the covers. Its scary living by yourself..
I closed my eyes, quickly falling into a deep sleep. But right before, I heard a slight chuckle and a voice that said.. Welcome home hunny.

Okay, so I couldn't sleep so I made this chapter. I don't really know if it makes sense. But please leave comments! And likes.
I don't live in Minnesota or anything, but I am just making up stuff as I go. Please bear with me. I put a video of her Paramore ringtone up and a picture of her. Lucy Hale is perfect. 😍
