Royals {book #1}

*~Chapter Eight~*

"What the hell happened last night?"

Registering.... registering....still registering.

Registered.

"I was in my room asleep."

"Cut the crap, we know you were with boys last night, now spill." Gale snapped

Woah Gale chill. 

"No I swear, I was asleep in my room last night.

Eda rolled her brown eyes at me, "What happened really early in the morning?"

"Well..." I began.

My two friends looked at me with desperate expressions.

"We talked, we almost did something and I ran away from drama," I simplified.

"Talked about what?" Gale asked.

Should I tell them? It is quite an intimate subject.

I whispered to them, "Dane almost slept with Ilaria."

"That's no news, everyone knows. Ilaria has been bragging about how good her boyfriend is in bed all day. She even gave a detailed description to those who wanted to hear." Eda said

"No I said almost slept, not slept," I clarified, a little unsure of Dane's honesty now.

"What!" Both my friends exclaimed simultaneously.

"That's not Ilaria has been saying," Gale said.

"Ilaria could be lying Gale," Eda stated.

The two started arguing so I took this as my opportunity to leave. I wasn't ready to deal with this I would just ask Dane later.

"Why did I come here?" I asked myself as I walked through the forest.

For some odd reason the forest was quiet and dark. All the loud birds that used to squawk at this time were no were to be found and even the bugs that bite me every time I come here seem to have vanished.

I walked under a few more branches and push open the huge leaf that served like a door to the lake. Once the lake was in view I saw two figures with their back turned the forest. They were both the same height.

"Maybe Cale brought one of his friends," I thought.

"Yo Cale!" I said as I approached.

I could see the two shadows turn towards me. I looked up form the ground as I said, "School's a bi--."

Okay, looks like it's not Cale and his friend.

My eyes locked with two pale-skinned, red-eyed men and I instantly paled. When they saw me their lips stretched into a malicious smile showing their fangs.

Oh crap.

They looked hungry and I knew they were going to enjoy 'drinking' me.
