Volatile Friendships

Darkness

(Roxxi's POV)

"What the hell are you doing on my garage roof?!" I demanded, glaring at the shadowy figure.

The stranger turned around with his hands raised in surrender, "Im sorry... I didn't mean any harm. I just--"

"You just wanted to what?! Stare at my friend whilst she slept??" I questioned as my anger rose.

There was a loud rumble of thunder as it began raining, "No, that wasn't my primary intent..." he mumbled, obviously rather embarrassed about getting caught.

"Who are you?" I snapped, "And what do you want??"

The mystery guy propped himself on Dani's windowsill, "Could we possibly take this conversation to a drier venue?" he asked sneakily.

"I suppose..."

Once we were both seated inside my relatively large house I got my first good look at the stranger... He had raven black hair, and eyes that dark that I couldn't tell where his pupil ended and he was absolutely soaking wet...

"So?" I said quickly, "Who are you? And what do you want?"

He slowly leant back in his seat, "My name is Loki Richardson, and I don't want anything..." was his smirked reply.

Loki... This was who Dani claimed to be in love with?!

"People don't usually watch my best friend sleep unless they want something." I accused with a raised eyebrow.

Loki seemed taken aback, "And do people watch your best friend sleep often??" he chuckled once the shock of my statement wore off.

"Stop changing the subject!" I growled which caused him to become serious once again, "What do you want??"

His dark eyes became dull as he averted his gaze, "That's the problem... Even I don't know what I want."

With a sigh I tried to concentrate so I could read his thoughts to see what was going on, but before I could get very far he had me suspended in the air by my throat...

"Don't you dare try and snoop around my head!" he hissed as his eyes began turning red, "That's my job."

A sly smile crept it's way onto my lips, "You're not the only one with an interesting choice of eye colour..." I told him, letting my eyes dissolve into black.

"What are you? No. Let me guess..."

After five minutes of him staring at me I showed off my sharp fangs to him, "Does that make it any more obvious??" I questioned in a bored tone as he finally released me completely.

"How lovely... A leech." he commented cockily.

I ground my teeth together and gave one last almighty mental push as his barriers crumbled, leaving all of his thoughts completely exposed to me...

Then I found what I had been looking for.

Slowly turning to stare at him, I saw that he was looking over at me with a smug expression on his face, "I did tell you not to snoop in my head bloodsucker... I have seen and done things that no living being should ever witness." he murmured with an edge of twisted joy to his low voice.

I stood slowly and opened my mouth as I willed my brain to function properly, "Get out of my house..." was all I could manage, my voice barely audible.

Loki was somehow next to me in a very fluid movement, "Tell me what she is." he ordered gruffly, looking deep into my eyes.

"That won't work on--"
