The Missing Siren (On Hold)

Chapter 17

~Katie's POV~

My eyes widened as Nick's lips pressed softly against mine. His hand wove its way around my waist as he pulled me closer to him. I swear, as cliche as it sounds, I felt fireworks. I considered pulling out of it, and asking him what the hell he was doing, but I enjoyed it too much. I could always ask Nick after, might as well enjoy it while it lasted.

My hand went up to his hair while the other wrapped itself around his neck. Our lips moved in sync, like they were made for each other. Nick's tongue licked my lower lip, asking for an entrance. I hesitantly granted it and he made his way into my mouth.

We kissed for what seemed like forever, until I remembered about my job I had to get to. I quickly pulled away, scooting myself a ways away from Nick. He opened his eyes and looked at me questioningly.

"I have work. I gotta go." I explained shyly. I avoided his gaze as I stood up and walked out of the door. I could feel Nick's eyes piercing into my back, but I ignored him. He didn't say a thing as I closed the door.

~Nicks POV~

Katie quickly jerked back and looked at me flusteredly.

"I have work. I gotta go." She explained. She stood up in a hurry and walked out the door.

I felt like calling to her, saying something, but nothing came to mind. I just watched her as she walked out. I sighed as she left and got up, running my hand through my hair. I paced back and forth; I didn't know what to think anymore.

One second, I was taking advantage of Katie and her house with my powers, the next I was thinking about her as an actual person, a desirable one at that.

When I first met Katie at her front step, my plan was to use her as a hideaway. I needed to hide from the government. I needed to get away. Even though the guilt ate me away inside, I didn't see any other choice. My heart was too hardened to change my ways.

Katie was such a sweet girl. She was a good person, she helped me in my every need. This just made me feel all the worse. Even when i saved her from Rory, it was only in my own selfish wishes. I still needed her to help me. Then i told her the truth about myself. I didn't even mean to, it just kinda slipped out. I felt as if i needed to tell someone about it, get it out of my system. As soon as it slipped from my mouth, I felt something inside me change.

I started looking at her in a different light. She became desirable. I found myself thinking about her at the oddest times, wanting to see her beautiful face, hear her melodic laugh. I tried to resist these feelings, but each time they came back stronger. I couldn't help it. I knew that if I began to care about her too much, it could ruin my whole escape plan.

I began dreaming about her, fantasizing about how her lips would feel on mine, how her skin would feel on mine. It was irresistible. I had never felt this way about a girl before.

That night when the cops came by, I had to hide. I trusted Katie to keep my secret hidden. I felt so terrible, not being able to explain to her where I had gone to. I knew she must've thought I had used her. Even with that in mind, how am she could be at me, I had to go back. I had to see her face, protect her if the cops ever found out about her hiding me, for she would be taken to one of their secret places and tortured to no extent.

When I showed up at her house, I couldn't help myself. I wrapped her in my arms, breathed in her scent. I could feel her relax in me. The way she treated me, that attitude of such innocence, melted my stone hard heart. We were so different, Yet i still found myself wanting her. I guess the statement 'opposites attract' really does hold some truth. I thought I had gone past the line of ever feeling for something ever again, but Katie brought me back. A crack in my heart opened up to her. It was the oddest feeling, actually caring for someone other than myself.

Before I left, I kissed her cheek. I had to. It was somewhat of an apology For my behaviour. I knew that it would hurt her in the long run, but I couldn't help myself. I had to show her some kind of affection. I had to show something real before the crack in my heart was cemented closed again.

That morning, when she came to me to ask what the future plan was, I tried to listen intently. I tried to come up with a plan. All that was running through my head was how luscious Katie's lips looked. The way they moved when she spoke. The way her hair flowed off her shoulders. The way her eyelashes framed her gorgeous green eyes. I tried to suppress my feelings, but I couldn't. I leaned in and kissed her.

I could feel the sparks flying. The crack in my heart spread to a gaping crevasse. It was amazing. I had never actually kissed someone with meaning. The events of the testing facility had warped me. Kissing Katie brought it all back. All the harsh memories, all the sweet events. It was bittersweet, you could say.

When she left, I should've said something. Something, anything, would've been better that leaving her with nothing. I'm almost positive she would think I was using her with my Siren abilities. It was a terrible feeling. I had to explain.

I rushed to the door of the cabin and yanked it open. I saw Katie's car at the end of the bushed driveway, turning onto the highway. She was heading off for work.

I would tell her the truth as soon as she came home. I was done with hurting her.
