Change My Mind (ON HOLD)

Chapter 5

I began to speak of a spell that I had never heard of. I cast the spell onto- or rather, into- myself. It felt like I was burning, only it was on the inside. I was crumbling, and it was my fault. I chose to do this to myself, I had to. To help Harry, and the kids.

After a sudden jolt of light had exploded from inside of me, I knew that I had won. I slowly fell to the ground. I didn't know if I would ever get up again, but I knew that it was safer for everybody if I didn't.

I felt the monster slowly shrinking down inside of me, but not entirely disappearing. I also felt a cold breath on my cheek.

"Alexandra, wake up!" I heard Harry demand. I kept my eyes shut, even though I wanted desperately to see if he was alright.

"Am I dead yet?" I asked with hope.

"No, now get up, please!" He pleaded.

I turned onto my side with my back facing him, or so I thought. I opened one eye to see Harry's jacket.

"Can't get up. Hurts. I'm sorry." I winced.

"I must get you to the infirmary, I am sorry that I did this to you." He said before I fell unconscious.

I woke up attatched to a machine while laying on a very uncomfortable bed in a room I had never seen before. Did I mention that the bed was uncomfortable?

"Is she awake yet?" I heard from the hall. I quickly layed back down and pretended to sleep. I heard footsteps-someone had entered the room.

"Alex, I need you." I heard Harry whisper. Yeah, right. Why would anybody need someone as dangerous as me?

"I'm sorry, I will tell you the truth about everything you want to know." He added. "Please," he finished. I opened one eye suspiciously and then shut it again. "Everything?" I asked with a smile.

"Alexa! You're awake!" Harry said while pulling me into a tight hug. "We have to go,"

"Harry," I started. "Harry- stop, I can't do this anymore, I hurt you. I hurt the kids." I said while pulling away from him. He grabbed my shoulders and stared directly into my eyes.

"Lex, I'm okay, you're okay, and the kids are okay right now. That's all that matters."

"Harry, I'm not okay. How are you 'okay'? I nearly killed you. That beast-that monster- is still inside of me. I can feel it." I said as a tear rolled down my face. I turned away, but Harry was still holding my shoulders.

"That doesn't make you any worse than the rest of us. You just have to know when to let it out. Remember whose side your on, and I know that you can use it to your advantage. You are the most powerful student that I have ever seen!" Harry explained while using his finger to brush away my tear. He smiled at me, so I smiled back.

"You mean that?" I asked, feeling like a silly little girl. He nodded, then took my hand.

"Now we must go, before the doctor gets back." He said while he started to run. I felt too tired to ask questions, so I decided to follow him.

We had made it outside and ran a few miles away into a small forest outside of a town. It was dark out, but we found a treehouse in the backyard of a house to stay in. It was a very nice treehouse, I might add.

"Tell me." I said after we had sat down in the treehouse.

"Tell you what?" He asked, pretending like he didn't know what I was talking about.

"The truth. About everything. You owe me." I instructed.

He took a deep breath before speaking. "You are going to hate me for this." He said.

"What did you do?" I asked.

He didn't answer.

"Harry? What. Did. You. Do." I asked, trying to keep my cool.

"You needed a blood transfusion, you were dying. I had some blood, you needed some, know what I'm saying?" He stalled.

"Harry." I said through gritted teeth.

"Long story short- I am a vampire," he said and then paused. I just stared at him. How come he had never mentioned this?

After I didn't say anything, he continued.

"You have some blood in your system that isn't yours, and a normal person couldn't take a vampire's blood being in their system."

"And?" I asked, still shocked from Harry being a vampire. That meant that he was just like me...

"My point is that you are now officially a vampire. Good news, training starts tomorrow." He said and then he stopped talking for a second.

"Training? Harry, I can't do this anymore. I'm sorry. Can I quit?" I asked.

"Lexi, you CAN do this. I know you better than I know anyone else,"Harry said to comfort me.

"Just promise me that you'll try to do this, you have no idea how many of us are counting on you. If you don't want this life, I will take you back home. Can you please do this, for me?" Harry begged.

I thought about going back home, but Harry's eyes were digging into my mind.

"Fine." I replied.

There was an awkward silence for a second.

"So why did you leave?" I asked.

Harry didn't answer right away. "I guess that I owe you this." He said, and I nodded.

"I found out that I was half-witch half-vampire. Your father had sent someone for me, a teacher/guardian, call it whatever you want. Your mother had, too."

"That's when I found out that I was even more vampire than I was witch. I was uncontrollable. My guardian was... lost in battle, because of me." Harry shook his head.

"I couldn't put you in that kind of danger, so I left. I hated it, leaving you. Every second of every day, I thought of it. What could've happened if I hadn't become this monster... all that we could've done." He sad regretfully.

"All that we could've been." I added in my mind. I hadn't noticed it before, but I think that I was beginning to fall for Harry. I'm happy that I finally know why he left, and that he actually didn't want to leave.

"How come I don't have a guardian?" I asked. I was somewhat confused on that part, considering that I was supposed to be "The chosen one" or whatever.

"You do," Harry said quickly.

"Really? Who is it?" I asked. I was hoping that it would be someone that could help get me out of this mess.

"You're looking at him." He answered with a smirk.

"You're my guardian??" I asked in shock. I should've seen this coming. Harry nodded in return.

"Well you aren't doing a very good job of it." I added while laying down.

"Goodnight, Harry."

"Sweet dreams, Alexandra."
