The Princess And The Vampirate

Chapter Seven

It is dark and there was a single beam of light and it was shining on Jack. But he was different his eyes were a dark red and his lips were a deep red almost like blood. My eyes were focused to the darkness now and I saw that they were indeed covered in blood. I started to panic I thought it was a dream so I shut my eyes really tight. I opened them and he was gone. I then felt a breeze move by and it moved my hair off of my neck. I backed away but I bumped into something. I felt something very cold on my neck and my shoulders went numb. My head started to pound and I was starting to feel faint. There was a sharp pain in my neck like someone was gripping it very tightly. I glanced back and saw Jack's jaw locked on my neck. I screamed and he let go of my neck looking very confused. I ran but I lost so much blood my legs gave out and I fell and Jack was soon over top of me chuckling blood dripping from his lips. He knelt down so I could see my reflection in his eyes.

I shot straight up screaming very loud. I flop down back into my bed head pounding and my body shivering. I forced my head into a pillow and I screamed so loud I would have woken the whole crew if it wasn't in the pillow. I felt a tear fall down my cheek as there was a very hard pounding on the door. "Claire let me in or this door is coming down!" Jack yelled.

"It's unlocked." I said with a scratchy voice. I buried my head in the pillows as I heard the door shut. I was sobbing by now and when Jack sat next to me on the bed the pillowcases were sopping wet. "Claire, what happened?" I came out of my cocoon, looked at him and then just started to break down again. He picked me up and placed me in his lap. He waited till my waterworks were drained and all over his shirt. "There, now tell me what happened." Through sniffles and occasional tears I told him about the dream. When I told him how he acted he completely froze.

His gripped tightened over my shoulders and he pulled me so tight to his chest that my lung could not be filled "I... CAN'T... BREATHE!" He let me go and I looked up at him. "So now that that is out of my head, what are we doing today?"

He broke out of his trance "It is still 2:30 am so back to bed."

He tried to get up but I grabbed his arm "Please stay." He nodded and sat on the bed.

I awoke and Jack was searching through my closet. "Get dressed in clothes that are dirty and are grubby because you're going to go see the kitchen and the stables today and then practice!" I smiled at him and then got up and got dressed in jeans and a ratted blouse. "Off we go then." He opened the door and we were off.
