The Massacre

Chapter 3

I woke up the next morning with a lovely feeling of blood hunger. Damian is on my mind again. I have to talk to him or he is going to be stuck in my mind making me hungry. Emily is easy to tell when she knows something is going on, so hopefully I can get to school without her noticing my feelings in my expressions. That's why I am going to skip breakfast and rush out the door last minute. I'll just pretend I overslept. I got to be super quiet and hope no one walks in. My mom and dad are watching the morning news so they shouldn't come in and hopefully Emily is in her room. I already got dressed so I can just lay here in bed until I need to leave. I'll just watch some YouTube until it's time to go.

Once it was time to go, I got up and grabbed my bag. I ran out of my room and left the house. I texted my parents and told them I overslept to play it off about my rush out the door. But that was when I got a different text from Emily.

Emily: I saw you last night when I went in your room to do my nightly check. You were red all over when you were asleep. Do you have a hunger for someone?

I am worried now because if I tell her I know what she can do. I have to reply but I'm not sure how. I tried to hide my fear since I'm on the bus. I can't even tell Scarlett about this because she don't know about my identity either. Being a vampire is so hard. I wish one day I could make a spell to make me normal. That's a dream I had since I was a kid but I had to hide that too. But for now I got to respond.

Me: Yes and no.

Emily: What the hell do you mean?

Me: This new boy is cute but I also like the blood he has. I felt it yesterday.

Emily: that's perfect. The ball is right around the corner. If mom and dad knew you had a crush, you can love him and get your first bite.

Me: Emily no.

Emily: Huh?

Me: I want to love him. Blood is something I earn from hurting someone. Why would I love someone to hurt them?

Emily: do you not understand the vampire tradition?

Me: I do. I just am different. Don't tell mom or dad.

Emily: fine but if you don't get your first bite from anyone and do fall in love without a bite, they will know everything.

Me: deal

At least I got my sister to understand a little bit but still here threat is scary. I don't want my parents to hate me. The family would be ruined. I have to fall in love with Damian. Maybe I should bite Scarlett. That's hard for me, I been her best friend since third grade. Biting her would ruin it all for me. I would lose her possibly. My identity would be ruined. I mean Damian would already have to find out about me. Now I'm just making things worse for myself in my mind. I think today I'll start a better conversation with Damian and get to know him. If he really is the one I want then I'll express my love. It's my only option. The ball is next month. I can't afford to ruin the family.

Once I got to school we had our little security bag check. I passed as always then I met up with Scarlett. We talked about Damian a little bit. I told her how I am going to try to get to know him better today. She was proud of me for that. "You got this" she told me. I smiled and walked up to the junior hall. Surprisingly he was already his locker. "Goodmorning" I smiled as I walked up to him. He turned around. "Goodmorning, you finally going to talk more today?" He questioned. "Yes. I want to know more about you if you don't mind" I admitted. "Well I am from Lancaster, we moved here because of the lake life. I want to eventually study to be a therapist after high school. I want to help people, that's my big passion. You made me sad after you ignored me a lot yesterday. I wanted to have a friend and I thought you were it" Damian admitted. "I'm sorry, I was scared. To be honest, I have a little crush for you. That's why I was scared because I think you're cute" I explained. He was blushing. I am scared to see what he is going to reply with. I tried looking behind him to distract myself before he responded. "Aw I appreciate your expression for love for me. I think you are hot. I think we can get to know more about each other. Let me add your phone number" he smirked. I felt a warm feeling through my veins as I grabbed his phone to enter my number. He took my phone to enter his number then we gave each other phones back. "I will see you in class" he said as he walked off. I was in love. I never had a crush like him before so this felt special. The bad thing is now I still need my first bite. I don't wanna bite him. He doesn't deserve a bite. Unless, he wants to get sexual and I can love bite him. That could count I would imagine. Maybe he can let me come over this week. I can't have him come to my house though because of my vampire family. My identity would immediately be seen. I have to be careful.
