Bitten

Chapter Two

        It is night time and I have been walking for two days now. I'm in the middle of no- where (though I don’t feel lost) and my throat is so dry and already I'm out of water. Not that the water I did drink did anything anyway.

I don’t want to admit it, but I'm afraid. All of my senses are enhanced and I don’t know what’s happening to me. In the distance, I can smell something, it’s enticing, but I don’t know what it is and I can also smell alcohol, so I walk in that direction.

Eventually I come across a road, a gas station and I think there’s a pub near- by. Walking around the gas station I see the pub, which is rather small and don’t have time to think of where I may be because I am taken by surprise when somebody from behind me held my mouth and pulled me back, touching me inappropriately. Hastily, I grabbed the thick arm and threw him over my head.

He was of medium build and he had black hair that came to below his chin and dark brown eyes that stared back at me in horror. I picked him off the floor- by the neck that pulsed erratically- with ease and pinned him to the wall. A vein on his neck bulged and I struggled to concentrate but I got my act together.

“You touch me or any girl ever again, I will know about it and I will ensure that you are infertile.”

He whimpered; “Your eyes.” I took a moment to think about that as I had completely forgotten.

“Oh my God, what is she?” This comment brought me back to his face which showed nothing but fear.

“That doesn’t matter, but I’ll be watching you.”

“I didn’t say anything.”/ “What the fuck can she read minds?”

With that I threw him to the ground and ran away at an alarming speed.

         Since walking, I haven’t slept but I feel rather tired so I go under a tree to get some shut- eye.

A few hours later, I wake with a fright as dawn arises. My skin had a burning sensation all over it and my eyes were very sensitive. I ran and came across a little cabin in the woods.

Inside, it was really dark and my skin cooled immediately. Even though i could tell how dark it was, i could see everything clearly, but it had a blue tint. It was very much empty and smelt really bad. The only thing i could focus on though was that i was not alone.

I walked in the direction where i could hear the noise and was poised for attack. As i walked around the corner into the largest area i saw a tall, dark figure.

I felt sick to my stomach as i recognized who it was.

"Iv'e been expecting you." I thought i heard him say, but his lips didn't move. I growled and i wanted so desperately to kill him but it was almost as if my body wouldn't let me.

"Tut tut." Was all he said. I was confused and angry. Was he controlling me? Did he have power over me. I felt powerless for the first time since my parents died.
