Chapter 6

June's POV

I didn't hear a lot of what Louis said because of the blood pounding in my ears. He's a demon! He's the devil! He nearly KILLED me! He thought I smelled good!

All I could think of was how his red eyes had glowed when sinking his fangs into my neck. I remembered those fangs going in so deep, his lips touched my skin. And I remembered feeling the blood being rushed out of my body and into his mouth. It was that thought that had made me pass out.

I sobbed on the floor of the shower. Why didn't he just kill me? Why didn't he make both of our lives easier? Death would be better than this hell I called life.

I curled up in a ball, hugging my knees to my chest and resting my chin on them. I hadn't had water in forever, yet I kept producing tears like magic. I was so weak.

I rested my head against the side of the tub, and closed my eyes, still weeping bitterly.

*~*~*~*

I don't remember falling asleep, but I definitely remember the dream.

I was sitting in my room, minding my own business, when there was a light knock on the door. Like an idiot, I called, "Who's there?"

"Who do you think?" the vampire replied and opened the door and came inside. He eyed me hungrily, and I felt terror fill me up to the brim.

"You're such a nuisance, June," he scowled. "I think your time has come."

"No," I whispered, backing away. Somehow, I managed to trip on the flat surface of the floor and land hard on my butt. Louis advanced towards me.

"Please no!" I cried, turning away from him. With his super speed, he was kneeling in front of me again.

"Say goodbye, June," he chuckled, and I watched in horror as his eyes turned crimson, his canines grew longer than was normal, and he leaped at me.

"NO!!" I screamed again.

I woke up in a cold sweat. I was clawing at the edges of the tub, and for some reason I was digging two fingernails into my neck. I blushed and removed them.

I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror. I winced. I looked awful. My hair was greasy-looking and stringy, and tear trails stained my cheeks. I had dark circles under my eyes. I looked like a vampire that you would see in the movies, one that was near her end.

I wish.

I locked the door to the bathroom and stripped down. I glanced at my naked body in the mirror. I grimaced. I was much too thin, the kind of thin that popular bitches in school looked for.

I gasped. School! Oh no, what was I going to do about that? I might never get into a college! More questions to ask Louis. But the answers were obvious:

"Didn't I tell you? You're staying here with me forever."

"Who needs school when you can drink blood?"

"You don't need school to be successful."

I shuddered. Only after two days I already knew what he was going to say to me.

I turned on the water and prayed that there was some hot water left. After a minute or two, I stuck a finger inside and touched it. To my relief, it was really hot.

I stepped inside and allowed the water to soak into my hair and rid my body of all the grease, dirt, and blood.

That nightmare had been terrifying. But Louis promised me he wouldn't kill me. At least not yet. His exact words. But only a few hours before I was wondering why he didn't just kill me. I had wondered why he didn't make both of our lives easier. I sniffed and wiped away a stray tear.
