Saving Peyton ( SP #1)

Ch. 2

  I woke up and was very confused, I had no idea where I was at. I got up out of the bed and started towards the door.  I was almost there when someone else opened it. 

I slowly looked up knowing you could see my fear in my eyes. I seen the strange man and the events of last night replayed in my mind. I quickly backed away until I was back beside the bed. It was like I couldn't speak, words just kept getting stuck in my throat. 

"I won't hurt you." he said. 

I slowly looked up until I was looking at his face. I was confused, last night his eyes were bright red, now they were a greenish color.

I moved closer towards the bed and sat down. I looked over to where he was still standing, he was still staring back at me.  

"Who are you? Where am I? And what do you want?" I asked quietly, not wanting to upset him.

He slowly walked towards the bed,  he sat down facing the opposite way from me. Involuntarily, I scooted back. 

 I looked up and  saw a mixture of emotions flash through his eyes; sadness, hurt and anger. As quicy as it came, he covered it up with a blank expression.

" My name is Dereck Campbell" he paused looking at me, to make sure I was okay and listening. "Were at the abandoned mansion, the same one you and your friends were at last night actually, and I want nothing but to make sure your not hurt. " he finished.

I suddenly was worried, what had happened to my friends. As if reading my thoughts he said "I used your cell phone to call the one with blonde hair, uh Brooke, I think, and said that I was your cousin and that I took you home, so not to wait up."

"How did you do that?" I asked.

He replied, "I'm a vampire, what did you expect?"

Fear consumed me. I shot out of bed and ran out the door, down the stairs, just as I was opening the door, Dereck's hand grabbed my waist and pulled me back, into his chest. As I kept struggling to get out of his embrace, his grip tightened. After realizing it was useless I gave up.

Without asking he picked me up bridal style and carried me back up to the room. I was in so much shock.

After what seemed like hours, I finally had the courage to speak.

"When can I go home?" I asked.

"In a few hours." he replied.

I nodded. I had so many questions, but I needed to go home take a long bath, and take a long nap.

A few hours passed and Dereck finally agreed to take me home. I got out of the car and practically ran up to my door. I reached under the flower pot and grabbed the spear key. My parents  are co-CEO's of Johnson & co., so they are never really home. As soon as I was inside I locked the door and ran up to my room. I ran and jumped on my bed, it felt so good to be home.

After a few moments I got up and walked into my closet and grabbed a t-shirt and shorts, along with a new pair of underwear and a new bra. I walked into my bathroom and ran a bath. I quickly stripped all of my clothes up and got in. I closed my eyes and let the past days events replay in my head, at lest ill never have to see him again,  I thought. After a while my hands and feet were starting to get wrinkly, so I got out and changed into my pj's. I walked out of the bathroom and back into my room.

 I walked downstairs to grab something to eat. I quickly decided on leftovers. I heated them up quickly so I could take them upstairs with me. As soon as I opened the door I dropped everything out of my hands, because looking at me with a blank expression still on his face,  was the infamous Dereck Campbell.
