“I’m giving you one last chance, Melody. I always get what I want and I need you to forgive me.” He purred. His fangs never got in the way when he talked. My eyes were probably the size of saucers as they stared at the coal black monster eyes of the man I didn’t know. A part of me was rushing me to forgive him so I could spare my own life but another side of me told me to stand up for who I was. Letting this slid would show his dominance and I did not want to feel dominated like that. I didn’t want him to think he could just make me feel bad about myself, kiss me, not explain and everything would be okay again. The latter won out but I didn’t know how to say no to him.
“Ashton River Defleur, get off of me, right now.” I said in a low, vicious tone. I hated this, all of it! I’ve known him for all of 2 days and this was the result. Under him and about to be eaten. How can so much happen in 2 days?
“No.” he replied mockingly and stroked my cheek. I looked away in distaste and tried to think of a plan. If I managed to get out of this alive, I was not going near him. I’d move to another country like London and change my name. He grabbed my jaw and made me face him. His opaque, bottomless orbs peered straight into my green ones for a second before he tilted my head back.
“I’ve always wanted to know what you tasted like.” He said; his accent was getting thicker and thicker. He ran a finger over my neck, trying to find a pulse and then stopped when he found it.
“Ah, listen to that heart race; the heart that belongs to me and me alone.”
“Get off of me.” I said again. He laughed out loud and pressed his lips to my neck. I could feel the teeth but they weren’t breaking through the skin and I relaxed. He was only kissing, not biting.
“I’d rather not. I like this position and your blood is rather inviting.” He said and kissed my neck slowly. An idea popped into my head. My powers! I could use it to get him off of me! He did say I could use it to hurt him! I really didn’t want to hurt him because I hurt me to even think about it but I knew I had to. I concentrated on the feeling; the power and the bubbling. I pictured the blinding light in my mind and soon, the bubbling appeared. It was building up and up but I could control when it burst.
“Ashton. Off. Now.” I said and he only scoffed and licked my neck in a seductive manner. That was when I had and enough. I let the light burst and soon, the room was filled with the light and I no longer felt Ashton on me. He was thrown and I heard the thud has he hit the wall. I made the light come closer to me so it was only around me and I finally got a good look at it. It was a near invisible ball of light but somehow, it shone. It was crackling with energy but not destroying everything like it had in the barn. I assumed that I had the choice if I wanted to make it a force field or a thing of destruction. When I was sure I was safe, I looked over to where Ashton was. He was lying by my table unconscious and I immediately felt my heart pang with hurt. We just fought over one of the stupidest things I have ever heard of but its results were catastrophic. It left behind a scared, vulnerable girl with a force field and a lunatic vampire. I stared at him for a few minutes, too scared to do anything else. Within a few minutes, he was stirring and I knew he was awake. Finally, he sat up and rubbed his eyes with his knuckles and I waited for something, anything to happen. I took a closer look and saw that his fangs were gone and his eyes were back to blue. He looked around with a confused look on his face for a second and when his eyes landed on me and my force field, he gasped. Carefully, he stood up and walked towards me with a painful look on his face.
“Stay back.” I said, sounding more scared than I was hoping.
“Oh, Bright ey-“
“Don’t call me that. Only people I love and who love me back can call me that. I want you to leave my house or I will use this again.” I stated and gestured to the ball of light around me. I could see the heart wrenching, tear jerking look on his face but didn’t flinch.
“You’re my soul mate. I won’t just leave! I need-“
“No, no. You’ve done a lot in the last two days, thank you. Make me feel self-conscious, kiss me, feel me up, not explain what was with you, break my door and almost eat me. Thanks but I could do without you. I’d rather stick to a guy who won’t eat me and only have human love than have super natural love and a meal to my lover.”
He winced at my choice of words and I saw that I had hit close to home.
“Melody, I could just expla-“
“Please, leave right now, Mr. Defleur and do not try to contact me or touch me. Just stay away from me all together okay? If you don’t want to make this any worse, just leave and never come back.”
He gave me a hurt look and I felt my own heart started to tear up. I didn’t want to do it. I want him to be near me. I wanted our attraction to grow stronger and stronger until I burst and attacked him with kisses every time I saw him but I knew it was not safe for me. He couldn’t see to control himself when he didn’t get what he wanted.
“This is not over Bright eyes. I love you. I will get you back.” He said and got as close to me as the bubble would allow.
“Not if I can help it. What we have – had- is over. Go find someone else, Defleur.” I replied viciously.
“I love no one but you and I will never love anyone but you. How can you settle for something when you’ve had better? But now, I am here alone because you want it that way. I guess this is my life for now but I’ll find my way back to you. Or maybe, one day, I’ll settle for second best. And on that same day, hell will freeze over, the sun will burn out and the stars will fall from the sky.” He said and with that he vanished.
That night, I got no sleep. I was too afraid that Ashton would come back. Every slight noise sent me up the walls and I knew I was paranoid. I never let my force field falter once. I made sure it was safe and resistant to any vampire attacks. If Ashton really loved me as much as he said he did, why did he try to hurt me like that? I hadn’t done anything but ask for a little respect and he flipped out on me. I stayed up until the first rays of morning flooded my room and my heart sank. I did not want to go to school. I did not want to face him but I pushed myself out of my bed and went on with my day.
