His beloved hunter

Chapter 5

The rest of the day went by the same way. Thoughts of David swarmed my head not going away no matter how much I tried. I couldn't help but think of how he's acted towards me. He knows I'm a hunter yet he hasn't hurt me. I could kill him at any moment yet he risks his own life. I couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation so I decided to ask David whenever I get a chance.

I need answers and just sitting here was not getting me them. I wasn't sure if he would show up after school today after our incident at lunch. He left school completely not showing up to all his afternoon classes so I wouldn't see why he would but then again he wants to talk to me just as bad as I do him. I couldn't help the trickle of hurt when I think maybe he doesn't. No focus chloe it doesn't matter if he wants you or not he's a vampire. He's not the guy you want to introduce to your parents.

 I couldn't help but burst out laughing at the thought of me bring David home to my parents. I stopped once I realized they would kill him no matter what I do to try and stop them. Just like I should have when I first found out what David was. For some reason though I paused it's probably because I haven't ever killed but I need assured that's why. He's had many chances to kill me and he hasn't yet so I can trust him right....? "Chloooooe you're doing it again!" Maddie snaps as I shake the grogginess out of my head.

"Oh sorry Maddie just zoned out thinking about." I stopped thinking about how I couldn't say that in such a public place. After seeing no one is dropping into our conversation I continue. "You know what. Anyway he said to meet him after school. I don't know if he will show since we kind of argued earlier but still I would feel safer if you came along." after my rambling explanation Maddie's face falls. "I'm sorry clo. I can't I have practice." she rubs the back if her neck nervous that I'll be mad. I sigh biting my lip worried avoid meeting David alone.

"just go by yourself I know where you are and if anything goes wrong just make sure your "cell" is on you no matter what." she said putting air quotes around cell. I know she was right but I couldn't convince myself. My mind was tugging at itself arguing over this being logical and not. "Ok thanks anyway I'll call you later and tell you about what happened." she smiles at me sadly but agrees before we split up. I walk slowly to the parking lot waiting for David to pop out of nowhere.

Just as I was about to give up and say he's not coming I feel someone watching me. I turn around to face the school building again. The weather is a but dog hey I realize as the big brick building towers over me fog swirling around the edges and the dark windows that give me an eerie feeling. If I didn't know any better I would say this is an abandoned school building in a horror movie. Right it the middle of all this is David. I know I should be scared I'm alone in a horror movie setting with someone who has probably killed members of my family.

 I walk back to him trying to catch my flying thoughts so I can at least ask him one question. He always seems to disappear quickly but I need at least some answers. "Wow I really didn't think you were going to show. I thought I was going to have to jump in your window again to talk to you" he said with a small smile. Normally I would laugh along but this time it was more serious than that. "Why would you do that? You know what I am right? You could have been killed! Every time you're near me you're risking your life! But that was just stupid! Not only could I have been in the house but so could have my entire family!" I scream at him I was furious he would try such a thing is he in his right mind?

 "Yes I know what you are as you know what I am. Yet you have made no move to kill me why?" He asks evenly. He was not bothered by my outburst at all. He must have expected it to be coming. He's right I have not tried to kill him. I haven't even tried to harm him in anyway. I can feel my face scrunching in confusion at his question. I didn't know the real answer myself. That's what I'm the most confused about. It doesn't matter that he didn't try to kill me but I didn't try to kill him...
