I own this story, plot, characters, etc. No copying, please and thank you! :)
The seemingly innocent are the killers. They come at you when you give them hesitant trust. Too innocent. You're wrong, poor child.
I knew him as he knew me. We weren't normal and we were okay with that. I never thought normal existed and I don't want to be something I refuse to believe in.
I'm lucky to have him as a lover, he is everything I never knew I could have or would ever want. I thought I was going to end up alone, taking my mother's words too seriously. She forced them down my throat without the relief of cold water after. They are permanently etched into my brain.
"Selfishness drives mortal love to the brink of extinction. Don't forget that, sweet Velvet. It may just save your life one day." My mother once told me with a straight line as a mouth and blue suns as eyes.
I did heed her warning, I did obey it. I never fell in love with a mortal. Which isn't a hard task considering the amount of arrogant jocks and cocky players I have at my school. Yeah, I'm not one of those skinny, bubble gum popping cheerleaders. I do not want to be skinny and I hate bubblegum. Do I sound stereotypical? Yes. But do they live up to the stereotype many people always tell me not to use? Yes. You see, it's very fair on both sides.
I like to imagine myself floating in the middle of the ocean. It's quiet, it's peaceful. I was always so afraid of oceans and lakes and rivers but that all seemed to change when I got to highschool. I yearned for my time alone where I could dream myself to the land where I fit in. I do not want to fit in here, in the painfully regular world.
But that's just me, plain old me. The one nobody ever noticed.
I like to sleep in my room full of words, the quotes I stamp as favorites in my hard-to-reach cookie jar. The words are what I whisper when I am alone. The words which say humans are selfish and ignorant. They are, I believe, but I do not say anything. Some of us can be saved, when the time comes. When the Earth will be engulfed in flames from a great war among planets. I won't be saved, I'm one of the selfish ones. I keep him here, instead of letting him love someone else. He says he loves me, I know I love him. He says he wants to protect me, I assure him he already has that title. He protects me from the dangers of the night, from his night.
Humans are dumb to sleep with both eyes closed, inviting a killer into bed. The killer who acts as your ally and attacks when you think you are safe, you are not something as wonderful as safe. You do not deserve safe, you deserve death. That's what the intelligent human may think, it is also what a seemingly ignorant human may think. The world is full of mysteries, to never be solved. I became a mystery to my peers. I'm proud of my decisions, I can sleep with both eyes closed; I feel safe and peaceful. Well as safe and peaceful we can get in this God Damn world.
He sleeps with me, although his species has killed, he is my safe haven. Yes, he as in my supernatural boyfriend, my mate for all eternity. He brushes my chestnut and reddish hair behind my ear. He kisses that sweet spot under my ear, on my neck. He inhales my scent, I inhale his. He owns me, I own him. We drive each other crazy with need.
I like my choices, even though I know they won't matter one hundred years into the future and that I will be forgotten. I don't care that nobody will remember me and my decisions. I will die one day and everybody will come along with me on my journey to the afterlife though I do not exactly know where I will end up. But I do know one thing that I care about more than the judges' decision of Heaven or He'll for me. I live in the now and that is all that matters.
