Love Torment (Old Version)

31

"Things have gone this far."

************

I was in front of the mirror. I was looking at something else entirely. I was amazed at the sight before me. Siege wasn't high. I was beautiful.

My hair, to begin with, was a silver-grey colour, hued with a blue. My eyes, one remained dark but the other was a murky grey along with my pupil. Freckles were scattered on my cheeks like stars. They shined like glitter on my face. I had never seen myself in such a state before. I couldn't stop staring at myself.

At the same time, I could see my wounds heal themselves. It was happening so quickly.

My head was filled with a series of thoughts, I could barely grasp a single one of them.

All I could do was stare at myself in the mirror that sat above the sink in Siege's bathroom. My hands had a firm grip on the sink. I had to steady myself, it wasn't working. I had way too many questions.

One was more prominent than the others. The feeling of pride. For the first time in my life, I didn't feel helpless about a situation. I had control. I could save myself. At that moment, I understood myself. It was pure bliss. I smiled at my reflection. My hair was a mess and I looked about as bad as the time they buried me alive.

Good times.

''Your healing abilities are unlike anything I've ever seen before. It must be one of your gifts.''

I NEARLY HAD A HEART ATTACK when I suddenly heard Siege's voice from the door of his bathroom.

I looked back at him and smiled at him. He was standing by the door in the same stance of caution he usually had. It was a shame, it didn't seem as if he had it in him to relax. He had changed into his pajamas, with his slippers on. It seemed to me that he had no intention of dropping a particular girl back home.

''I'm not going to pretend I understand what you're saying.'' I told him as I took a few steps towards him. As I moved forward, he remained unmoving.

''Vampires have gifts. Powers that range from control of the elements to merely having visions. Of course, the stronger your bloodline is, you could either have multiple gifts or a very powerful one.'' Siege explained to me. I stopped moving when I was directly in front of him.

Cool.

''This is normal, right?'' I questioned Siege as I gestured to myself. He met my eye for a second before he replied.

''No.'' He told me with no particular emotion evident on his face.

''Are you doing that on purpose or are you usually this cryptic?'' I questioned him as I kept the smile on my face.

''This is your hybrid form. Before, we had only triggered your vampire abilities. Now that your werewolf side is also awakened, it's merged with your vampire abilities to create this.'' Siege told me as he gestured at me. I nodded at him to show my understanding of the situation.

''I like you, Siege.'' I told him as I gave him a simple sad smile. I gazed directly into his grey eyes and held it there. He didn't reply instantly.

''I like you.'' He replied. His eyes shifted to the right, he wasn't lying to me but he wasn't being honest about the situation.

''But. I don't trust you. I'm not going to bother about what happened today. I just know you had something to do with it. I don't want this to continue. I'll do us both a favour and make sure you never see me again after this.'' I spoke to him. I tried my best to play it cool. I was going to sleep over if that was the case and get home and ask to change schools. I was done with it. I didn't want it to continue.

I just wanted to rest.

He looked back into my eyes and took a step towards me. I had to SLAP DOWN my teen hormones because it was a serious situation. Why did the bitch have to smell so good? Why did I find myself levitating towards him?

BODY, YOU MAY BE AS HOE-LIKE AS YOU PLEASE BUT WE BOTH KNOW BRAIN HAS THE CONTROLS OVER THIS!

''Let's not do that.'' He said to me as he challenged me to a staring competition.

''I'm simply giving you a heads up. I'm just tired of this and I don't like you that much to sit through the suffering.'' I informed him. He wasn't even attempting to deny the charges against him.

Wow.

I just-

''You're not feeling well. Sleep on it and we can talk when you're calm.'' He told me as he took yet another step towards me. I WAS NOT GOING TO KISS HIM. I WAS NOT GOING TO KISS HIM. I WASN'T. NO SIREEE. I HAD MADE UP MY MIND! THERE WAS NO TURNING BACK.

''I'm calm. I'm thinking clearly. This be GOODBYE! Tshini, I know my self-worth, as if I'd stay in a toxic relationship. I am done waiting for you to figure yourself out. I'm out. Peace.'' I let myself speak and let the long-suppressed emotion surge out.

I was strong. I could do it.

''Tomorrow. You'll have a change of heart.'' He stoically said those words send my heart skipping a beat. He looked at me as if had crossed over to the dark side, shame. It was kinda hot, couldn't lie.

DAMN HORMONES.

''This is some major denial, I'm witnessing right now.'' I told him as I gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder.

I just wanted to go to bed at that point.

And so I did.

Girl had enough. This is a lesson to all girls out there. Get out when the guy is toxic and plans on killing you, okay?
