Chapter 8

Time at this moment couldn’t be more eye opening, I was being watched probably twenty four seven by who knows who or what for that matter. Taylor and Addison kept walking and I was a few steps behind them. I closed my eyes for only a second; however, what I see is something I myself couldn’t understand. The need to run rushed through me and this time it was without their help. Taking in a sharp breath finally realizing, my hand was placed gently on my lips. The kiss, I shook my head knowing I had to leave now. My legs didn’t go on command, which brought attention to Addison and Taylor who turned to face me with so called worry.

“You okay” I forced a smile.

“Ya just taking a breather” Nodding my head they smiled as if they meant it.

“Don’t take too long alright”

“Of course” Forcing another smile, they turned around and walked on headed at a slower pace than before. Immediately I turned and ran as fast as I could remembered then of what they really are and what they are capable of. I now understood on what Sean meant by the kiss, I could just be stupid sometimes.

I didn’t look back afraid of what I might see.

“Hanna!” My heart skipped a beat hearing Taylor and Addison yells my name; they were closer than I could tell. My legs moved faster, my hands out in front of me pushing branches out of the way, the unevenness of the ground made it harder to balance. I wanted to burst into tears at this very moment; I couldn’t have felt more betrayed in my entire life, my two best friends. The ground slowly becomes a downhill run which made it easier to run faster, but harder to balance. I jumped over foliage while my heart was racing; all I could think about was get the hell away, far far away.

Without thinking I tripped, but luckily my hands went in front of me, my fingers dug beneath the muddy surface, tears falling rapidly down my cheeks. I couldn’t handle any of this of what is going on. My body gave and I lay in mud for all I care, they wouldn’t find me. Surrounding me were cattails which was great to hide in, I sat up and looked around my surroundings, a stream. I was hoping for a river to lead me to the ocean or someplace but a stream is practically still, useless. I breathed in and tried to calm my emotions that were balling up inside me. I wanted to scream, then that would result in me being found, which is not going to happen, ever.

Standing slowly, looking around making sure no one was anywhere, especially Taylor and Addison. Why couldn’t I have thought about the reason I fainted in the first place or why I was actually scared of them? Shaking my head to clear away any thoughts, I headed on the edge of the stream to where ever it leads me. My stomach was aching in hunger, I probably smelled and worse of all I had no clue on what to do or where to go for that matter. Rubbing my forehead I let out a little whimper, looking down at my hand it had some blood dripping from my fingers. I rubbed my hands together wondering why someone would kill for this, it wasn’t right. I stepped back into reality and looked behind me; it looks like I could have just scratched it or something. On the safe side I ripped off a bottom piece of my shirt, not so sure about the water so I wrapped it around my head and tied it. It stung and knew then it was more than a scratch. Placing my hand on top of my head I breathed in small breaths trying to calm myself down.

It was all useless; I couldn’t control or stop the tears falling down my cheeks. Then and now I felt so much pain, physically and mentally. I couldn’t trust anyone not my friends and probably not my family either at the moment. Wiping the tears away I knew what or at least an idea on what to do it was the kiss, Sean. Sometimes visions are unclear, but this is beyond anything I could image.

Taking in a deep breath I knew I had to set it aside to keep me safe, it had to be done. Then again I really wasn’t sure on what I saw, felt, heard, it’s all so unreal. Clearing my thoughts completely or trying to at least, I looked around cautiously feeling unsafe once again. My head was starting to throb the moment I started walking, but I have to keep moving didn’t want to risk being found.

The day has passed and still no sight of my “friends”. The cold air was slowly coming in of what I could tell. I knew finding shelter was my priority at this moment, but food is on that list as well. Walking in the forest all day has made me go a little mad; I kept close to the stream all day and finally was connected to an actual river. I knelt placing my knees in the semi dry earth and cupped my hands in the water taking a drink. I felt very dehydrated so here for the night sounded like a good plan. Then again brownies never helped me I forced my mom to take me out of the girls scouts, wasn’t my thing so I know nothing about nature. Finishing my third handful I looked up and across the river which was at least 20 feet ahead of me, I couldn’t believe my eyes. This man about my age was knelt on one knee washing his face with the rivers water. I was speechless his dark brown hair was over his black eyes when he caught sight of me. Breathing in sharply in shock I stood slowly and turned my back to him.

“Where do you think you’re going” I jumped back almost tripping in the water at his voice, not expecting at all for him to be standing in front of me. Placing my hand over my heart I let out a breath.

“You…frightened me” I said with a little stutter in my voice.

“What do you expect” He smiled down at me with his pearly white smile.

“What do you mean?” He looked confused and laughed which brought a chill through my spine.

“Vampires do that and I can sense human on you” He tilt his head to the side as deciding on what to do with me. My eyes widened at realizing what he just said. But before I could say another word he took one leap toward me and was only inches away. His hand traced the necklace placed around my neck and I immediately shoved his hand away. I looked up at him not understanding why I didn’t have the feeling I usually have when danger was around.

“Chosen” He whispered while looking into my eyes. I was lost in his all dark eyes not understanding anything at this very moment I was so confused. He bent his head down towards me inches away from my lips, I was paralyzed I couldn’t move even if I tried. He pecked my lips, feeling me with a rush of energy and strength all at once. I also felt desire, want, and a need for something I couldn’t describe. Something I never imagined to feel terminate, disgust, slaughter. Feeling everything at once made me step back having this vampire take a hold of my shoulders. Looking back up at him was all I needed to know.

“Now you know, now it’s your mission and I’m going to help you achieve it”
