After Life (BOOK 2)

Chapter 9

Roses POV

I woke to the sound of the doorbell ringing. I blinked my eyes I tried to stand up but a pain ran through my body I looked down and I saw the ropes around my hands. I remembered what had happened the day before. The hunters tortured me, and they stuck me down here.

I heard someone walking down the stairs to me. I looked up and saw Wyatt walking over to me, he looked at me with sadness in his eyes. He placed down a bowl with me name on it, 'do they think I'm a dog?!' I thought to myself. Wyatt placed it in front of me

"I'm sorry they did this to you, it's inhuman and just plain wrong," he said looking up at me in the eye. He looked like he was in as much pain as me

"Thank you Wyatt," I said

He nodded his head and moved the bowl closer to me. It had a red liquid inside of it. My eyes widened and I kicked it away from me

"Get that away from me, Wyatt!" I started breathing heavily. I can do this, I can survive without blood.

Wyatt grabbed the bowl and through to the other side of the room making the blood splatter on the wall

"I'm sorry," he said looking at me with panic in his eyes, "Taina said to bring you it. I didn't know you didn't like it,"

"No Wyatt I love it," I said moving my attention from the blood then to his eyes, "but that's they problem. It grosses me out, I have never tried it before,"

"Oh, well at least your not like the rest of the blooding sucking freaks that we see everyday," I looked over at him and glared. He cleared his throat, "sorry that's just how I was raised,"

"Doesn't mean you have to act like your family,"

"Yeah it does, Rose," he said coming closer to me, "and what kills me is that I don't want to be like my family, I can't be like them. I can't do what the do to vampires like yourself!"

I looked at him and noticed that we were incredibly close. I wanted to back away but I couldn't I just stared into his eyes and I saw myself.

"I'm sorry Wyatt," I said never breaking eye contact with him, "I just thought that you were going to be lik-," I was cut off by Wyatt kissing me. I hesitated at first and soon I was kissing him back. I knew that this was wrong but I couldn't stop. What would Nathan think?! Wait why am I worried about Nathan, he told me to leave! But I couldn't do this to him, no mater how bad he hurt me, I pulled away from him. He looked deep into my eyes

"I'm sorry," he said standing up he ran his fingers through his pitch black hair, "I don't know why I did that?"

I nodded my head looking down at my bloody feet, "why are you different?" I asked suddenly looking up at him

"I don't know, Jake says it just because I haven't seen what vampires are capable of, but I think it's because I can feel there pain. Do you remember when I brought you down here that first day?" I nodded my head, "well I ran upstairs because I could feel your pain. I could feel my skin peeling off my bone I felt every thing you felt when they tortured you,"

I looked up at him in shock and amassment

"So if I were to do this," I through my head back against the post, I looked up and saw Wyatt rubbing the back of his head

"Yep I felt that," he said

"How about this?" I said and with that I broke my arm. Pretty simple actually, so my hands were behind my back so all I had to do was twist it fast and 'pop' it broke. I squeezed my eyes shut in pain. I opened them to see Wyatt on the floor writhing in pain. I looked at him and the guilt washed over me.

"Why did you do that Rose?!" He said holding his arm

"I'm sorry here," and with that I pushed my arm back into place and I felt instantly relived. I could tell that Wyatt was to he wasn't holding his arm anymore, but he was breathing hard though. He sat up and I could see pools is sweat on his forehead.

"Thanks, but let's not get you hurt when I'm close to you, okay?"

I laughed, "okay,"

Wyatt laughed with me as well. I looked into his forest green eyes, it was like I was being hypnotized. I couldn't break my gaze. Wyatt cleared his throat, "um, I better go before they notice that I'm gone,"

I nod my head, he got up from where he was sitting and walked over to the stairs, "I will bring you something other than blood, don't worry Rose,"

"Thanks Wyatt,"

He walked up the stairs but stopped halfway up, "oh and I don't care that you're a vampire, your pretty cool,"

He nodded his head and walked up the rest of the stairs. I looked at where he was standing in shock. I pushed my head to the post and closed my eyes. I could still feel his kiss on my lips.
