The Girl Who Drinks Blood

Chapter 3 - The Girl Who Drinks Blood

{Outfits Above}

After having fun at the arcade with Jasmine. I headed to the park. I walked around the playground looking at everything. I found a bench and sat down. I sat for a good 3 hours just thinking. And that's when it hit me.

I drank the blood of a human. Something I am not aloud to do. I started hyperventilating. This is not okay. I calmed down a little. I got rid of all the evidence, I will be okay. But then I realize something.

I feel so much better.

Not like happy better. But like... Better better. I feel stronger, Faster. I look down at my stomach. I look up. I stand up and run home. Once I get home, I walk straight to the fridge. I pull out a bottle of substitute. I take a sip and immediately spit it out. It taste different. It taste... Disgusting. I walk to the bathroom and brush my teeth. After brushing my teeth, I strip and hop into the shower.

The feeling of being under hot water was euphoric. It feels so good to be taking a shower. I had a long day.

After taking a shower, I put on my monkey footie pajamas. I look at my dresser, where my substitute lies. I stare at it for a second feeling not as hungry as before, but still pretty hungry. I sit on my bed, grabbing my phone from the nightstand. I check my Instagram, but get a text 1 minute later from Jasmine.

'Check the news. It's crazy.' I scrunch my nose and turn on the TV. When I saw what it was I almost had a heart attack.

On the TV was a missing person report on... guess who... EMMA BROWN. That's her last name. I start to hyperventilate again.

What if they find out it was me? I stop.

What if they find out I'm a vampire?

After finally calming down and going to sleep. I wake up to find my TV still on and my alarm blaring violently loud. I slam the off button and cautiously get out of bed. I walk to my closet and look at all my new clothes. I put on black tights and put my wine red skirt over it. I then put on a black bandeau and then put a black, see through top over it. I close my closet and walk to my mirror. I brush my hazel hair, and was about to put it up in a mess bun... but I decided to leave it down. I brush my teeth and grab my shoes, which are also black. I walk downstairs and see my substitute lying on the counter. Not feeling hungry anymore, I get in my car and drive to Jasmine's house.

Yesterday, we decided that I would pick her up from school everyday.

After waiting for what felt like 10 minutes, she walks out in a white and pink dress with a denim jacket over it. She is also wearing white converse. She hops in the car and tells me to drive. Once at the school, I bump into someone I was hoping I wouldn't see, but knowing my luck, there he is. Alec. After going to the arcade yesterday and remembering him, I didn't want to talk to him. It brought to many emotions.

"Hey Skye!" I turn and then turn around again. I curse under my breath and then speed walk to the door. Not knowing he was running as fast as he could, he caught up quickly. He stood really close, too close. Not wanting to be so close I took a step back. I look up and think ' How did I not guess? He has the same name. And he looks the same. Same guppy lips and everything. '

"Hey Alec." I say looking at my feet. I turn to Jasmine with a pleading look in my eyes.

"Um. Skye, we have something we have to do... somewhere.. not here." She says looking at me looking for answers.

"Yea. I gotta go. Bye!" I say walking away. I get dragged to an empty girls bathroom.

"Spill. Now." I sigh and tell her about how I used to be friends with Alec, and how after going to the arcade I remembered him.

"I just don't get it. We used to be best friends. Now just looking at him is really awkward. " She looks at me, excitement in her eyes.

"Is it awkward because before he left for a while you and him kissed!" She yells. I roll my eyes. This girl.

"It was on the cheek. We were ten!" I say smiling. She rolls her eyes.

"Whatever. It was still a kiss." She has this look of mischief in her eye. "So um... I have to go but bye!" She yells running out the bathroom. It takes me a second but when I figure out what she has planning, my blood runs cold.

"Jasmine!" I yell running out the bathroom.

But it was too late. She had found him and was telling him everything. I walk away slowly bumping into the principal. I smile and walk past him.

I can't stand Mr. Dell. This one time I had to go to the bathroom during class without a hall pass, He gave me 2 detentions for 'Ditching' class. I didn't even get to pee. Whatever Mr. Dell.

I walk into my class and to Mrs. Annette.

"Hi Mrs. Annette. I was wondering if I could move seats?" I ask as nicely as possible.

"Yea sure, switch with Nick." She says not looking up. I nod and walk over to nick putting my intimidating face on.

"Nick up. We're switching seats." He nods and moves fast. I sit down and sigh in relief when Alec walks in looking confused. He gets even more confused when he sees he sits next to nick now and not me. I sink into my seat. 5 more classes to go.

After school, I get trapped by Alec. He drags me under the bleachers. When we get there I sigh and shoo all the couples making out away.

"Do you want to tell me something?" He asks. I shrug.

"I don't know. What do you want me to tell you?" I ask.

"That you were the best friend I fell in love with when I was 10." I look up at him, surprised.

"You fell in love with me?" He gapes.

"It was you?" I blush and nod, looking down at my feet.

"Wow... How did I not know? Why did you not tell me? I had to find out from Jasmine." I look at him getting slightly angry.

"What? Was I supposed to walk up to you and say, Hi, I'm your old best friend that left you hanging, but when I came back you were gone and no one knew where you were. No. That's too complicated. And besides I only found out yesterday! So don't get mad at me for Jasmine blabbing." I stop and sigh. "You know what... I don't need this." I walk away. Once I get to my car, I see Jasmine there waiting. She gives me a look, but I put my hand up. " Just get in the car." She gets in the car. I am about to get in the car when I get a text from that unknown number.

'I know your the one who killed Emma. Watch your back or I won't be the only one'
