Red Paradise

|The Vampires|

Chapter Four

|The Vampires|

Evelyn's POV

I walk down the hallway and down the stairs. I can't believe that Red doesn't want me to go with Dylan. It pisses me off, I need to go with him so I can make sure he doesn't get hurt. I go out the back door of the pack house and I see Dylan picking up the mat from today's training. I walk up to him as he folds the mat. He looks at me and smiles.

"Coming back for more so soon?" He says. I laugh as I help him pick up the mat to bring it to the shed. The shed is close to the house so we don't walk very far. We put it in the shed then walk out so Dylan can lock it. He then walks up to me and grabs my hands. I smile as he kisses me. He takes his lips off mine then looks at me.

"I need you to go on a trip with me." I say. He smiles and picks me up then puts me over his shoulder. I laugh as he spins me around.

"Stop! Stop!" I say in between laughs. I hear him laugh as he puts me down. I fix my hair and playfully hit him on his arm. He laughs.

"Okay, not that kind of trip." I say. 

"What kind of trip?"

"Red and I saw Henry in the woods."

"What did that bastard want?"

"He says that him and his group of wolves are going to make an attack on the vampires."

"What?"

"I know, that's what I thought, but he thinks him and his wolves are strong enough to wipe them out."

"What does this have to do with our trip?"

"Red wants us to go with him to help him fight."

"No, you're staying here, I'm going."

"No! We are going together!" Dylan starts walking towards the smaller pack house to start packing. I follow him while continuing to beg so I can come with.

"I'm going with you Dylan!" I exclaim. He keeps walking and we make it to the smaller pack house. He opens the door then we go inside. There's a bunch of teenage werewolves sitting around having fun with their friends. I follow Dylan to his room which is the first door to the right. 

We walk in an he starts packing the basic needs to go on the trip. I stand in front of the door with my arms crossed on my chest. He finishes packing then grabs his bag and walks up to me. He's so close to me, that I wouldn't even have to move closer to him to kiss him.

"You are staying." Dylan says in a low voice.

"No! I told Red that we would both go!" I say.

"Really? Are you sure Red just wanted me to go and you just told her you wanted to go as well?" 

"Well..."

"You are staying."

"Why! I want to be with you! Who knows how long you will be gone! I can't be away from you for that long." I wrap my arms around his neck. He doesn't do anything, he just stands there starring at me with his gentle eyes.

"Please, let me go with you." I beg. Dylan drops his bag and pulls me even closer to him. He smashes his lips onto mine. He puts his hands on my hips and pushes me against the wall. I smile as we continue to kiss. He slightly lifts up my right leg as we continue to kiss. I take my lips off his.

"Can I go with you?" I ask. He looks into my eyes and takes his hand away from my leg. I stand up straight and bite my lip.

"I don't want you to go, because if something happens to you I will never forgive myself." He replies. He picks up his bag off the floor then looks at me from a foot away. I hate it when he's so far away from me. I know it's only a foot away, but it feels like a mile away.

"I won't get hurt, you trained me to be an excellent fighter, I know how to fight." I say.

"Do you really want to go?"

"Yes, I can't be away from you for that long."

"Go pack your bag and meet me in the living room of your pack house." He says. I smile big and run out of his room, down the stairs, and out the door. I run into the main pack house. I run into my room and start to pack. I grab two outfits of clothes, toothbrush with toothpaste, brush, little bit of makeup, extra ponytails, and a lace bra with lace underwear. Just in case..! 

I run out of my room with my bag and look in the living room. I see a note on the coffee table. No, no, no! He tricked me! No! He can't! I pick up the note and read it.

Evelyn,

I don't want you getting hurt, I love you too much to see you hurt.

Don't try to track me down, I'll just bring you right back if you find me.

I'm sorry, Evelyn. I love you.

-Dylan

I sit down on the couch. I feel tears start in my eyes. Just then I here the front door open and close. I look over to see Red. A tear falls down my cheek. She imminently runs over to me and sits down by me. 

"Evelyn? What's wrong?" Red sighed. I give her the note, she reads it. I burst into tears. Red hugs me as I cry on her shoulder. Why did he leave without me? He lied to me, all because he thought he was protecting me. I can protect myself, I don't need a protector. I lift my head off Red's should then wipe my tears. She puts her hands in her lap.

"Evelyn, I'm sorry." She says. 

"I seriously don't know if I can go without even one day without seeing him." I reply.

"You'll get through it, you're the strongest girl I know."

"No, I'm serious, I don't think I can go a day without seeing him."

"Eve, you can't be serious, vampires don't have mates?" Red says as she looks at me confused. I look at her confused as well. I start to cry again, Red gets up and goes into the kitchen. She comes back with a whole container of cookie dough ice cream along with a big spoon. She hands it to me and I open it. I start consuming it right away. Although vampires aren't supposed to eat human/werewolf food, I love ice cream. Ice cream is the only exception.

"Red, I want to die." I tell her as I scoop another spoonful of ice cream. She slaps me in the face and I hold my cheek with my hand.

"Ouch!" I yell.

"Don't ever say that again! You don't want to die! You're already dead!" 

"Well, I know I'm already dead but the thought of not seeing Dylan tomorrow makes me want to die."

"Eve, stop you will be okay, plus he's not your mate, vampires don't have mates remember?"

"Then how do you explain the way I feel!"

"You're a love struck puppy! Now grow a pair!"

"Fine! Hopefully Dylan will still love me!"

I laugh as I take another bite of ice cream. Red then sighs as she turns on the TV. She turns on a random movie. After about ten minutes, Red starts to talk to me about random shit. She's trying to get my mind off Dylan, but I can't. He's all that I'm thinking about.

"Did you dye your hair last night?" Red asks. 

"No, why?" 

"Your hair is dark." 

"What?" I put my ice cream and spoon on the table. I take my hair out of the ponytail. It drops down and I look at it. My hair is black, how? I was blonde yesterday, and now I have black hair.

"Must be that I'm almost 18 too and I'm becoming more vampire or something." I reply.

"That probably explains the dark eyes too." 

"Get me a mirror."

Red goes upstairs then comes back down with a little mirror. I grab it from her and stare at myself. I have black hair, and dark brown eyes. Wow I actually look pretty good with black hair.

"I have to say, I think you look better with black hair." Red says. I look at her then we both start laughing. Who knows, maybe I'll be okay without Dylan. Red has always been there for me no matter what. I love her for many reasons, but that is the main reason that we're still best friends.
