The Vampire Stalker

Chapter 6

................................

Kieara's POV

"Umm...it's you Alex?" I asked trying not to sound too rude and angry. It wasn't his fault that the bracelet broke. But I couldn't help but be sad about it as it was the first gift Blake had given me.

"I am so sorry that the bracelet broke. It is entirely my fault I shouldn't have scared you. I swear I didn't do it purposely, I promise to buy you a new one. I swear I didn't mean to scare you but-" he carried on but then, me being the dramatic person, showed him my hand for him to stop.

"It's okay Alex, it wasn't your fault. It was mine. I was being clumsy and got scared of your voice. And no, I have plenty of other bracelets. No big deal" I told him trying to sound normal and convincing and gave him a fake smile.

"So what brings you here?" I was back to normal as I can't stay mad for too long at anyone except Lucas for what he had done to me.

"Ermm...actually...I wanted to give you something....a gift." He said trying to hide the blush on his face. He handed me a small box with 'Happy Birthday Kieara' written in neat handwriting that I suppose is his.

This made a smile creep to my face. I took the gift in my hands that he gave me and opened it.

"Wow!" I said it loud. It was truly amazing. There in the box was the most amazing necklace I saw in my whole life. It had a heart pendent which I suppose can be opened and had diamonds all over it.

"Did you like it?"He asked eagerly and snapped me out of my Lala Land; I seriously need to go to a doctor for a checkup. I have been visiting Lala land too frequently.

"Yes! It's extremely pretty. I loved it. Where did you get it from?" I asked him beamingly.

"Ermm...it's actually-" I cut him off by the biggest shock when I opened the necklace and saw my picture in it.

"Wow. This is the best gift ever. Thank you so much." I practically lunged at him for a hug. He was shocked at first but hugged me back after few seconds.

As I was so near to him I could feel my butterflies in my stomach. It felt so good to be in his arms. I am attracted to him in some way which is beyond my understanding.

Wait what am I thinking? And what is this feeling?

I myself was so damn surprised at my reflexes and happy at the same time. I didn't even care that I barely knew him. But the gift actually made my day.

"Thank you Thank you so much." I mumbled into his shirt. OMG. I was hugging Alex. I freaking Kieara was hugging the hottest guy of our school. Oh dear God save me.

I came back to my senses and awkwardly stood back at my place and saw his face which was practically red from blushing. He looked so cute, his midnight black hair done perfectly and his captivating green eyes were filled with happiness, shock and pain? Why was he in pain? Did he not like hugging?

Stop Kieara Stop! You're over thinking. I told myself.

"No problem. So you're not mad at me for breaking that bracelet of yours?" he asked awkwardly.

"Of course Not ! Why would you think that? I love the gift. That is all it matters. Seriously. Thanks a lot Alex." I told him like hundredth time. I think we can be great friends.

"Umm...So see you around okay? I need to go inside now. Bye." I wanted to talk to him for more time and stare into those green eyes but it's my birthday party and I needed to attend it.

"Bye Kieara. Happy Birthday once again. Take care." he said with a genuine smile on his face. Oh God that smile.

I started going towards the house and as clumsy I am, I tripped over a big stone that I obviously couldn't see all because of these 3 inches heels. I closed my eyes and got ready for the impact, when suddenly in micro seconds a pair of arms caught me by my waist and steadied me.

"Thanks." I barely managed to murmured and turned to face my savior.

Wait.- Alex. How the hell did Alex come to me so fast? He was standing so far away from here.

"You're welcome." His cheeks turned a shade of pink.

Then I realized that we still were in that position. My cheeks turned as red as tomato.

He coughed awkwardly and removed his hands from my waist. His eyes were stuck on my leg.

As I bend down to get a clear look on my leg. I noticed a big cut on it and saw that it was bleeding.

I turned back up to tell Alex that it was no big deal when suddenly I saw his eyes grow redder leaving behind no trace of green and a pair of long vampires' teeth come out of his mouth. He was trying hard not to look my way. But I could still manage to see those fangs.

Wait. Where did he find those? I practically searched for it in the whole city for my Halloween costume but couldn't find it anywhere.

Woah woah woah. Wait. Vampire? Red eyes? Fangs?

"Alex...what's up with your eyes and teeth? I mean its all red and-" I asked him.

"That's nothing. I hope you're alright. The cut's not that deep. I guess I'll see you around soon?" looking everywhere but on the cut and suddenly he came closer to me, and kissed my cheek.

To say I was in shock was an understatement.

Then he looked straight into my eyes. I was mesmerized by his eyes. They were so amiable, so hypnotizing, that I got lost into them.

Then he told me something to which I just nodded dumbfoldedly and...

I was standing alone and no one around me and could feel pain in my legs. I don't remember anything but just the beautiful pendent which Alex gave me after that I don't remember what happened a minute ago. How did I get that cut?

I stood there practically gawking. I have no idea how I was standing near the door of the house with a cut on my leg. The last thing I remember was saying goodbye to Alex.

"Kieara dear, where are you? Come on. The party is about to get over since it's getting late. Come on." I heard a faint voice of my mom shouting from inside the house.

The party ended soon, as everyone was tried. After clearing the mess we went home.

Today was one hell of a day. I straight away went to bed without even bothering to change from my vampire costume. I was thinking about vampires and soon sleep consumed me and all I could see was a pair of Red eyes.
