Fate

-*Hunger*-

It's our fate...except it

I can't help but think of the dream I had last night. What did it mean? Why did it feel so real?
~*~
She was sobbing, running as hard as she could. She could not believe it, she just can't. Him? Being one of them? No. No. She can hear him run behind her, but looking back is not on the table.
"Elson..." I hear him and my shattered heart aches.
"Leave me alone!" I muster between sobs. My feet hurt from the ground. The shoes were gone way before. My legs are numb and I can't breathe.
"Come back to me..." I ignore him, running even more. I hated myself for this as the one thing i so stupidly craved to do was succumb to him; to give throw myself as his mercy, sacrificing everything. My life, my pride. Oh how I wanted to so...bad. We both knew that. I...just can't. There is no apparent reason which hurts even more. Why can't I just allow myself to fall into his hands? What is stopping me? Honestly, what is stopping me?
My legs give out and I tumble to the ground, but I scramble and stand behind a tree, shaking. Looking down, I see how shredded I look. How my jeans are massacred by the sticks, my shirt sticking to me like glue and my hair disheveled. My heart races and hearing the silence of the woods my fear excels. My breath is shaky, and trembling, I look behind the tree and can't see anything. Sighing in relief as he's most likely lost me, oh how I was wrong. I turn back and open my eyes to him right in front of me. I jump and squeal before he places his hand to my mouth, shutting me up. I take in his features once more as I've done repeatedly before. His face is perfect. His eyes coloured a dark red, I can stare into them all day if I could. His hair falls over his face and his mouth creeps into a smirk.
"Elson, baby. Why must you run? Although, I do not mind playing cat and mouse with you, I'd rather you just stay still for me." He says and my heart flutters. Really- at this time? "Will you be quiet like the good girl you are or must I force you." I nod. He takes his hand off my mouth and undoes my collar, ripping it off my shirt. He uses his other hand and holds my jaw before moving my head, baring my neck. I see his eyes grow with hunger. He turns my head back to face him and my eyes stare into his. I want to drown in them. "Im addicted." He groans and I have no idea how to feel.
"Jake-"
"Elson. You have no idea how long I have waited for you. For you to find out what I am, to bask in it as you realise your feelings towards me while living the way I am. You are who I want. What I want to keep, to taste. I'm afraid I can no longer wait though. I need to taste you." He explains in a low whisper, making me whimper while drowning in my own thoughts of him. "How I have fantasised about me biting you. Everywhere. My desire for you is no longer bearable and I just..." he looks me dead in the eyes and leans closer, our noses almost touching. "I just need to taste the blood inside of you." Fuck
I'm done. "Do it." I say. "Drain me if you want. Just taste me, please." I beg, not caring about myself anymore. I want him. And if he wants my blood, I will give. He slowly leans in and their lips meet. Elson melts into the kiss she has yearned for. Jake makes his way down and starts kissing her jaw, while his hands find their way to her neck where he cages it, squeezing lightly making Elson gasp and grow more desperate. The tension grows as Elson grows more impatient and Jake grows more hungry. Soon enough, Jake starts kissing Elson's neck. He can smell the aroma of her blood flowing through her body, hot and frantic. He looks into her eyes again, and once he is reassured permission, his fangs make-
~*~
And that's when I woke up. Sweaty and a racing heart. Sitting up, I ran my hands through my hair, convinced I'm going insane. "What the fuck."...I might be.
Present Time
My doorbell rings and I get up from my seat and make my way to the door. I look in the living room and see my best friend, Alice asleep on the couch watching 'too hot to handle'. I open the door and I immediately blush.
"Hey Jake." I greet Jake, who's standing at my doorstep. He smiles and I gesture him to come in, to which he does. He walks in and looks to see Alice snoring.
"Hey." He finally says hello back. We stand awkwardly. We both can tell there is tension but neither of us address it.
"You hungry?" I ask and my mind automatically goes back to the dream. Fuck, stop. I point to the kitchen. "It's ramen I cooked 20 minutes ago when she was still conscious." I say, now pointing to Alice. Jake laughs.
"Nah, it's okay." He says and i nod. It goes quiet again. "Though, I need to use the toilet, I'll be back." He says and makes his way to our toilet. My eyes follow him and when he closes the door I exhale the breath I didn't know I was holding. A part of me thought he knew about my dream and was here because of it. But how would he know anyways?
Jake's POV:
As I close the door I exhale. She makes me so nervous. My crippling desire for her constantly grows every time I see her. If only she knew what I was, it'd be so much better. If only she knew what I thought of when it came to her. I take in my surroundings and I laugh when I see a board next to the toilet covered in funny toilet pictures of us and our group. I flush the toilet to make it seem like I wasn't just standing here imagining the taste of blood. I can smell it. It smells so ravishing and I just was to devour it. I turn the tap on and when im done I leave the bathroom. She's in the kitchen having more ramen. I walk to the kitchen and I see I was right. She's on her phone watching funny dog videos while eating and I can't help but blush at her being so adorable while laughing. I love her laugh.
I walk up to her and put my hands on the bench either side of her and use the crook of her neck as a head rest as I also watch with her. Our friendship goes a little more deeper then normal friendships. We act like we are together, so me doing this is no surprise to her.
"Whatcha watching?" I ask.
"Funny dog videos." She answers, not taking her eye off the Golden Retriever puppy play with the cat. "Are u sure you aren't hungry?" She asks. My stomach grumbles, but not because of the ramen. Her blood smells so damn sweet. Staring at her neck, I can't help but imagine piercing my teeth into her skin and sucking onto her and tasting the richness of what I know will be delicious. I just know.
"I'm all good. I do want to watch vampire diaries with you though." I say. She laughs.
Elson's POV:
I laugh at what Jake suggests. "And you said it was boring, but here we are." I say and Jake rolls his eyes. We stare into each other's eyes and it went quiet again. Man, that elephant in the room is loud. I stare into his dark eyes and I swear something flashed in them. I clear my throat and he steps back, looking everywhere but at me. "Anyways, I'll tell Alice to go to bed and we can watch it-"
"let's just watch it in your room. You have Netflix on your laptop or phone, right?" He suggests and I think about it. It's a smart idea so I nod and he smiles before grabbing my wrist and leading me to my own room.
I close the door behind me as he plunks onto my bed and releases a sigh of relief. I scoff. "You alright there?" I ask as I grab my MacBook and I take a seat next to Jake as he sits up. He kicks his shoes off and I unlock my laptop and open Netflix. I put vampire diaries and we watch it.
He points to Damon. "Smash." And I choke on nothing.
"Damn, so bold." I say, side eyeing him. He returns it with a wink and I look away, not physically being able to handle him right now.
Later On
He yawns and I turn my laptop off. "I think it's time I should go home," Jake says, stretching. "Not that I want to but I need to. My roommate is waiting for me."
"Awww are you on a curfew? Have you been a naughty boy and now you have a punishment?" I tease. He gives me a look that instantly made me melt because it was so hot. He smirks.
"Yes, I've been a naughty boy." He says and my eyes widen. I whack him and encourage him to get off my bed.
"Go! Home is waiting!" I say, not being able to look at him. He grabs his shoes and walks to the side of the bed I'm at and forces me to watch him. He puts on his shoes while he just stares at me and for some reason I cannot look away.
"By Elly." He says while patting my head. I look up at him as he gives me a small hug. I hug him back.
"Be safe. Call me when you get home." He nods and soon enough he's left home. I look out the window but he's nowhere to be found. "Where did he- how did he leave that quickly?!" I question. I don't give it a second thought as I prepare to get ready for bed.
Jake's POV:
Fuck. She's going to kill me if she keeps staring at me like that.
