....

I hadn’t really run into any of the other brothers while being here. I guess they didn’t want to see me or get to know me, and that was just fine and dandy with me.

I let my toes dangle in the water below me. Elizabeth, who I now know is the boy’s mother, had informed me that outside there was an indoor pool. Yes, I said an outdoor indoor pool. I think I am in love.

It was a full pool inside a glass building allowing you to see everything outside. The forest surrounded most of it making it feel like you were out in the middle of nowhere while the house was stretched the length and longer than on side.

I sighed and looked up into the sky. Dark grey storm clouds hovered above me and rain pelted the glass. Everyone and awhile there was a flash of lighting or the building would shake of thunder, but the deadly weather only made everything here make sense. It was the silent doom of the dark clouds, the impending danger of the lighting, the thunder constantly startling you and then the rain, a reminder of my somehow now regular tears.

I never used to cry. I used to laugh constantly with my mother. She was a swimmer, like I was before she died. She had brought me to multiple competitions. She was always the one with the huge sign saying ‘THAT’S MY GIRL!’

I shook away the memory and stood. Stretching my body I took a quick dive into the water. My body felt at home and I swam multiple laps freestyle.

Pushing myself harder than I thought possible, I finally finished and pulled myself to the edge I had started at.  Out of breath I looked up to the clock. I had been swimming for two hours straight.

“You shouldn’t push yourself so hard.” His voice was smooth and gentle, like he actually cared.

“You shouldn’t act like you care!” I snapped back and glared at him.

He stared back. Arms crossed against his bare chest. Swim shorts on, ready for a dip. He smirked when he saw me staring.

“You shouldn’t stare, what would your boyfriend think?”

“Boy- boyfriend?! What are you talking about?” Lighting flashed above my head and I glared at Bryce.

“Well wouldn’t you call Jason your boyfriend? Or are you just using him for his looks and talent in bed?” His face was tone cold and his eyes had glazed over.

“I’M NOT SLEEPING WITH HIM!” My fist shook with anger and I pulled myself out of the pool and stomped to stand right in front of him.

His fingers ran down my cheek, and his eyes softened a little bit.

“You promise?” His voice was soft and no more than a whisper.

My eyes fluttered close at the feel of his fingers against my chin. When I was with him in his room I would always get these stupid shivers.

Snapping my eyes open I pushed his hand away.

“I promise, but that doesn’t mean you can touch me like that.”

Bryce slowly moved behind me and put his hands on my shoulders to spin me. Pushing me up against the wall he was just standing by he leaned over me, his hands on either side of my head and his forehead pressed against mine.

I held my breath and looked into the bright silver eyes rimmed with red that were boring holes into my own eyes.

“I’m not going to ask, I know what I want, and I want you.” Bryce slowly started to lean towards me.

I looked to the side and exhaled slowly.

“Bryce please don’t?” My voice was so quiet I could barely hear it myself.

His voice danced across my now exposed neck.

“I don’t like listening…”

Lips fluttered down my neck as my eyes fluttered closed.

“Bryce…”

“Mhmm?”

His lips continued down my neck and to my collar bone, his teeth grazing slightly along, but never threatening.  An almost silent moan escaped my lips, I say almost because I felt him smile against my skin.

“Stop!” I pushed frantically on his chest trying to maneuver myself away from him. This was not right, no matter how right it felt. I couldn’t be with Bryce, I couldn’t be with any of them. They weren’t even humans.

A low chuckle escaped his mouth and I looked up to his see his silver eyes completely red.

“Bryce, Bryce I need to leave.”

Thunder and lighting crashed above us and the rain pelted harder against the roof. Bryce moved in closer to me, his lips pressed into a firm line.

“You can leave, after I do one thing.”

I shook slightly at the thought, but wanted to go, now.

“Wha…”

I didn’t even finish saying it before his lips crashed into mine.  Urgent and rough he pushed me harder into the wall making my body stiff and in slight pain.

Biting my lip he begged for an entrance. I didn’t allow it. I couldn’t.

A groan of frustration left his lips as he pushed me further into the wall working more urgently to involve me in the kiss. I winced in pain and a small tear trickled down my face.

Finally Bryce gave up. And let me slump to the ground.

“What is the matter with you?” His voice was low, dangerous.

“Me!? Are you kidding me, are you happy now? Did YOU finally get what you wanted ‘oh so holier than thou’ Bryce?!” I had stood up onto my tip toes and was standing in front of him, my arms flung wide and what I expect to be a horrible expression on my face.

He didn’t say anything. He didn’t smile. His eyes changed though. They changed slowly back to his sliver, but then continued to be rimmed with black.

I sighed.

“Whatever, I’m leaving.” I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around myself. It wouldn’t do anything because of the rain but I didn’t feel like walking into the house in just a bathing suit.

“You look just like your mother.”

My hand froze on the handle and my whole world seemed to stop. Panic rose inside of me and blood rushed throughout my body faster than normal. I could even feel my eyes widen.

“How do you know my mother?”

A low chuckle whispered beside my head,

“Because I killed her.”
