Faine had asked me to go hunting with her. At first, I was suspicious but then I noticed no one else was coming with us and for some reason this made me feel very happy. I trusted Faine and she seemed to trust me. As we were running, she suddenly took off even faster and I wondered why but then she looked back at me and I saw the challenge in her eyes. I felt strength surging through me and all at once, I wondered just how fast I could really go. So I passed her out and left her for dust and was running at full speed and I felt a giggle coming up and realised that I was actually enjoying myself and all of sudden Ruby popped into my mind and I stopped, feeling disgusted with myself. How could I be laughing when Ruby was only just dead less than a fortnight. How selfish of me. I smelled Faine’s scent without looking up and I felt her arms go around my back as she pulled me towards her and I couldn’t stop the shrieking sobs even if I wanted to. Faine’s kindness was so impossibly just what I needed right now. I cried for hours very unaware of how long we actually were standing there and was somewhat surprised when I looked up from her shoulder and saw it was sunset. I started telling her about my mother and how she had treated me so indifferently, like I wasn’t her daughter at all, but worse. As if, every movement I had caused her a problem. She was abusive too, not physically so much as emotionally. I was unlovable and useless. The teachers in school took more pity on me than she did. Faine told me her story and it was fascinating. She had just took things in her stride, just got on with it no matter what. I decided that she would be my role model. She told me of when we met first and how she smelled my bad blood and of how Jordan, JORDAN!!!!! Was going to nurture and take care of my baby for me as if it were her own. That really knocked me for six. I was gobsmacked and here I’ve been treating her really badly cause I was hurting and she was doing the same to me for the same reason. I wondered if it was too late to be friends and to be honest I was getting tired of fighting all the time and having to be defensive. Then Faine told me about Demitri and my change. To be honest I could really see her point but was still angry at him and didn’t know if I wanted to forgive him. Then Faine got a phone call from Jordan and I was suddenly filled with nervous energy. What if she wouldn’t forgive me? What if she didn’t really like me at all and that she only wanted Ruby and not me.
“We have to go, Jordan needs us.” so we ran fast as the wind and saw Jordan raging and pacing in front of the hotel. She was obviously upset. Her dad wants to sell her to some rich git to marry him. All at once, I was raging and could feel electricity rage through my body. I wanted to kill that man.
“He sounds like my mom,” I said quietly. That was the first time that Jordan spotted me and demanded to know why was I here. Then it registered in her mind what I had just said and she looked stunned and kinda smiled at me. So I am looking at Jordan and Faine and a bold plan pops into my head. I wonder how they’d feel if I offered and then I thought to hell with this in my mind and aloud I offered to get rid of her dad for good. The best way I knew how and when I heard him calling Jordan a bitch I thought that’s it prick your minutes are numbered. Jordan looked at me and I saw the pleading look in her eyes and I looked at Faine but she seemed totally at ease about it so I sashayed over to Jordan’s dad
“Hey big boy, wanna have some fun?” I flirted with him big time, bit my bottom lip and licked my lips. Guys like that sort of thing. I could see his reaction and smell his lust.
“I have to deal with um some business with my bitch of a daughter first but sure I’d love to after that darlin.” he said in such a cheesy voice that once upon a time would have sent shivers up my spine, but now it drew venom to my mouth and I had to swallow it before I continued.
“Surely you can sort her out later when you’ve had a little fun with me to help you relax; maybe she’ll be more willing to agree if you ask her nicely.” I purred and licked my lips for good measure trying to look sexily at him. I rubbed my hand along his thigh to show him exactly what my intentions were. He couldn’t resist of course, he gave one last glance in Jordan’s direction and then smirked at me and followed me into the woods like a puppy. I grinned to myself savouring the taste of his hot pulsing blood pouring down my throat. Every ounce of it drained.
