They Left Me Thinking

Sebastian P.O.V

As soon as I got out of Anneliese room, I ran.

Why did I call her beautiful? No matter how much I ran, I couldn't find and answer.

Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?

It's not like me. I don't tie myself down to one.

Why did I snap at Remmi for hurting her? Why did I try to help her? Why do I care? Why is she so special?

Thousands of thoughts were running in my mind, clashing. It was like trying to put the pieces of a puzzle together but they were all mixed up and I didn't know where to put them.

I was so lost in thought I didn't notice a girl was calling me until I ran straight into her.

I laid sprawled on my back pushed back by the force. My eyes closed trying to wait until the pain subsided a little and I healed quickly.

Human? Vampire? My mind was racing.

Vampire. I thought concludingly. Humans wouldn't be able to push me back.

Pools of green greeted me.

I recognized the girl I ran into as number 13. Her name slipped my memory.

She had green eyes, the color of a lake. A round button nose, pink cheeks that made it look like she was always had blush on. Her hair was short and blond hair with brown at the bottom. Freckles had been thrown all over her face and arms like paint splatter.

"Sebastian, O. M. G., I didn't see you there." She cooed, trying to act flirtatious but only succeeding in looking constipated. She lightly pushed me in the shoulder.

I scowled, "Weren't you calling my name?"

She laughed "L.O.L., no, it was that fledgling. Like seriously, I can't believe she's into you when you have me as a girlfriend. She's such a waste of time."

"What girlfriend?" I asked curiously.

"Well, duh, me, silly. L. O. L. I can't believe you forgot about me, sweetie honey."

I could feel my skin crawl as she touched me. I quickly grabbed her hand from its resting place and moved it away. "First of all, don't ever call me sweetie honey and second, I don't date. Third, learn how to make a pet name. That was just embarrassing and painful to witness." I got up off the ground and brushed off the dirt. "Well, see you around number 13."

"What does that mean?" she said trying to act casual despite the irritation she displayed.

"Oh, it just means that you are a number, and Anneliese is a person. A person that I would very much rather hang out with than a waste of space, like you. She's the most amazing person you'd ever meet and you are nothing compared to her." I turned to walk away.

"But, I'm your girlfriend." She said practically throwing herself on me, on the verge of tears.

"No, you're not. You're number 13. See you around." I said smiling cooly.

What am I doing? What am I saying? What's happening to me?

Anneliese. P. O. V.

When I called Sebastian I was still in the blue room I had woken up in the first day.

Remmi had visited me often but most of the time, the same tall, burly man spirited her away to do some coven stuff that I was too low-ranked to know about. At least that's what I heard.

Most of the burns had healed but at a slow pace because I refuse to drink the blood I am supposed to.

I can't help it. I think of the person it came from and me. . . I just can't.

The door quietly opened a crack, Ray's face peeked in and saw me awake. He tried to close the door but I was quicker.

"Come in, Ray. I know that was you." My voice cold.

Ray came in. He had red cheeks but his eyes were as cold and calculating as ever. His face was void of emotions other than anger.

"Why do you keep peeking in on my room but never actually come in."

"I was just checking if you were okay." He said sincerely

I gasped "You wanted to see if I was okay? Are you okay?"

He scowled. "What does that mean?"

I looked down angrily. "It means that after you said I was trash I thought you were incapable of actually liking me or being my friend since, you know, I'm just a human!"

There was a long pause. Ray looked away before mumbling incoherently.

"What was that?" I asked humor clearly heard in my voice.

He glared at me. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have reacted like that. I know not all humans are like that. I know that you aren't like that. You had just turned and you were disoriented. "

I said nothing. I was shocked. I had no idea what to do or what to say.

"Anneliese, I know you're mad, but can I ask you a question."

"Sure." I said sarcastically happy.

"What was that power? That day you first came here when I almost-When I almost-k-killed Sebastian?" he said weakly.

Wrinkling my nose, "What do you mean?"

"It was you who stopped me from killing Sebastian. When you screamed, you had power in your words that stopped me. I wasn't thinking. I was just so mad and as soon as I heard your voice, the knife I was holding hurt. It burned and I had to let go of it or else my hand would have gone to ashes. What was that?"

I blinked. "I have no idea what you're talking about."
