I added in the last chapter that she got three spells which will be important a paralizing spell, a truth spell, and a fire spell that can kill. Now your updated!

Chapter Ten

The car ride back was slow and quiet.

James only laid his head against the glass, and Levi kept messing with jackets zipper. I drove, it was already dark, and the clouds wouldn't let up.

The music was soft, blending in the background.

We made it to the motel in one piece, and James left to his room without a word.

I opened the door to the motel, Levi following behind me.

He took off his jacket, and went straight to the bathroom.

I took off my jacket putting it on the coat rack. I opened my book bag, and put the bottles on the bottom putting clothes over it and taking the clothes that I needed out. I waited for him to get out but he wouldn't. I couldn't hear anything coming from the bathroom.

I sighed, running my hands through my damp hair just deciding to change since he was taking so long.

I quickly undressed, finding my shorts before my tee-shirt I put it on.

"Why didn't you tell me your back was so bad?" asked Levi, finally getting out of the bathroom, and leaning against the wall.

"I don't know? I don't think it's from the vampires, just the tests we had." I said, quickly putting on my shirt with my back facing him.

"It still probably hurts."

"It does but not bad." I said.

"I thought we got passed that."

"Passed what?"

"You acting okay."

"I am okay. I already freaked out enough in front of you. God, I jumped on your back because I got scared." I put my hands on my face. "That was embarrassing."

"It was weird, but a bit normal. Until then I didn't realize you could be scared of anything."

I smiled. "Sometimes I feel like I'm scared of everything."

"Like death?" he whispered.

"Like becoming a vampire." I whispered. "I don't want to be like the thing that killed my mother. I don't care if it's painful, or if I'll die. It's better than the alternative."

"Isn't living, even in its own way better?"

"And live on to be the thing that I've been trained to kill? Our whole life we've been told vampires are the fucking devils that walk the Earth. It's worst then dying, because their just a shell of what they used to be. I don't want that, Levi. I don't want to be half living, and half dead. There's a way I can stay myself, why aren't you happy for me?"

"Because you can die!" He said. "You can really die. You could be gone forever and just dead."

I paused.

He ran his hand through his hair.

"It's what I want. I can't- I can't be a vampire." I whispered.

He nodded.

"I don't want to fight." I said. "I'm really tired of fighting."

"Okay, I'm sorry it's just.... You know what's weirder then you being scared?"
