Demented

Chapter 14.

"Yeah, sure." I replied. A little smile creeping in due to his red cheeks. He nodded & walked off. I wonder what Chase is going to do.

"Oh, he is good. Be careful." Lauren chuckled & gave me hug saying goodbye. I strolled to my car, not in a hurry to get home. Because I'm not going home. I'm going to my aunts because all the furniture in our house is on its way to Canada & in two days, so will my parents. I dumped my bags on the passenger seat, gripped the steering wheel tightly & took one huge breath. I glanced down my steering wheel to see a sticky note stuck onto the gear, it read :

"So sorry I've been MIA, family drama. Obviously. I mean, arising from the dead does take quite a toll on everything. Anyways, missed me? - Brooklyn."

I crumpled the paper in my fist & punched the steering wheel. I was just about to begin a normal life, as if I wasn't some creature with fangs & strength & speed & who knows what else now that I've drank human blood.

I drove straight to Emily's house to alert her that there's a psychopath running around town. I didn't turn on the radio or put on my music like I normally would. My head was already pounding enough. I just had some thinking time, before my steering wheel over turned. & the world looked like it was spinning before I came to an immediate stop. I crashed into a tree. My head smashed into the steering wheel & glass broke & hit me in all places exposed. All I could smell was blood & my vision was blurry. But.. I was hardly in pain.. My head was the only thing in pain & my vision was bad. I pushed open the door with all the strength I could obtain. Emily's house is just up the rode, I looked around for anybody before I used my speed to get to her before I faint & someone finds me & sees that I'm alive when I should be dead. Aydans car was parked outside her house & the door was slightly open so I raced in & fell to the ground, I exhausted my energy.

"What the hell?" Emily ran out the kitchen before recognizing me.

" VICTORIA OH MY WORD! " Emily dropped her glass & sprinted to me. Aydan & Chase behind her.

"She needs blood." Aydan hurried to the kitchen, as much as I would love to resist the blood, I can't. I crave blood. But luckily I don't have to kill, Aydan ( I don't know from where) gets blood banks. He handed one over to me & I drank like my life depends on it, because it does. I finally regained energy & sat up. Chase picking out the glass from my skin with tweezers small enough to fit into the cut to remove the glass.

"What the?" I tried pulling my skin to check for cuts but nothing?

"Mm.. Fast healing is another advantage of drinking human blood.. Emily..." Aydan swayed as he was coming up with a plan for the car & gave Emily a look. I think he's been trying to get her to drink before she ends up like I was except she could actually die.

"My car! What are we going to tell them when they ask where the driver is? I can't go unharmed? It was a really bad crash to come out clean!" A million thoughts were going through my head & I don't know how to handle it. Everything's just spinning & my vision keeps turning, along with my fangs.

"Tori, calm down. Aydan will say you left the car on & it must've rolled. " Chase pulled out the last piece of glass & looked at me, with sorrow in his eyes. His beautiful blue eyes. No. You're mad at him. I looked at my shoulder & struggled to see any blood or wounds.

"But what if he there's some weird thing that shows someone was driving the car?" Emily handed me a glass of water & sat on the floor, next to me.

"We'll just compel the guy to believe us." Aydan grabbed his keys & walked towards the door.

"Compel?" What the hell is compel?
