-Escape-

Chapter 19

**DELILA”S POV**

The room smells musty, it reminded me of the orphanage. the only difference was the boy sitting across from me, watching me asif I might run away the second he blinks. I don’t know what scares me more. The fact that I am doomed to be with a vampire or that my best friend who I have always looked up to is one of them.

I shift a bit in my seat “Z-Zayn” I ask nervously 

“Yeah?” he asks getting up and rubbing circles on my back

I gulp and push myself furthur away from his hands “Is Jade a vampire?” I ask.

“She-um… well yes.” He said looking at the floor. It suprised me how akward things were with him. The whole mate thing is supposed to be love at first sight, I shouldn't be forced to stay here I should want to stay here, but I dont.

“Are you going to… turn me into a vampire?” I ask rasing an eyebrow.

This shocks Zayn, his brown eyes search the floor for an answer and he puts his hand on the back of his neck. “Maybe, well-um…. you…eventually.”

My eyes go wide and I eye the door.

Is it worth running?

“Don’t run away.” He says as if reading my mind. “We are going to fall in love, you will want me to turn you.” he finished, smiling at me making me feel worse

I open my mouth to shoot some nasty comment back, but then realize that Zayn hasn’t done anything wrong. He saved me after someone bit me, and he just saved me from the blonde boy killing me. Or maybe he is the one who bit me.

I don’t know how to act.

“Okay.” Is all I can muster up. Even if Zayn seams nice, my life is pretty much over. Any jobs, friends, family, dreams… gone. He can’t expect me just to warm up to him after he took that all away.

He takes my hand. “I-I don’t want to rush things, but maybe you could tell me something about you?” he asks.

I mentally roll my eyes at this comment. It makes me mad how he jsut assums that this is going to work out “I-um, I…”

Zayn sighs. “I’m not going to hurt you!” he says with a serious yet goofy smile.

“Then explain the two holes in my neck.” I say with a sudden boost of confidence. Now that I had started I decided that I wasn't going to stop. I pushed my shouldres back and picked my head up higher. These small actioins do seem to have an effect on Zayn, one that makes him seem even more small even though he is twice my size.

Zayn coughs. “I didn’t do that.”

“Then who did?” I pressure. leaning closer to him

Zayn shakes his head and stands up. He carries himself to the door and plays with the handle “I-It’s not my place to say.” He says avoiding eye contact.

I tilt my head and stand up, I follow him over to the door “Zayn.” I say putting my hand on his shoulder

“No.” he says shrugging it off.

“Zayn!”

“NO!” he screams quickly turning around to look at me. His eyes flash gold just like Jade's did, except they quickly go back to brown when he realizes how frightened I am of him. Yet again the tables are turned, as they should be.

I nod. “I-I’m sorry I-I have to go to the bathroom.” I say scurrying out of the room. I shut the door behind me and run down the hall. I lock myself in and sink against the door. He wont hurt me, huh.
