AT High

Chapter 15: Suspended in Air (( Part 2 ))

My gaze that I direct toward him is pure bafflement. This has got to be a joke...but his looks was so plain that there was no way that was possible. I knew that people here weren't "normal" but I would never had expected that this creep was a vampire.

My cut stings with the realization of my situation now. My heart pounds hard, but I'm slow beats. I can barely think in these few moments in his arms.

"Stay away from that flame kid would you," Marshal said, breaking through my thoughts. "He's not good for you."

"And you are?" My mouth runs faster than my mind can think it as always.

"Considering your circumstances yes. Besides, I would never hurt you," he chuckles. "At least not without your consent."

And for a second...I thought he was actually going to be serious. Just as quickly as the atmosphere came, it went as well.

I punch his arm and he flinches but continues to laugh to himself. His grin widens and he releases one arm from underneath me.

My breath escapes me at the sudden movement and I grab ahold of him. Although I haven't even fallen an inch.

His arms are wrapped around my waist as if I were floating along with him. His eyes peer into my own like daggers to a heart. Why? Why does he do these things that make me want to hate him and...feel for him.

I loosen my grip and he tightens his.

"Marshal." I say quietly. "Let's go back, it's late."

"But what is there to do? While you lay sleeping I'm here, awake, with no one but my own thoughts."

"Quit being cheesy would you? Just come back to my dorm, you can sleep in the bathtub or something."

As if that was his plan all along, he descends absolutely applauding to himself on his crappy performance.

I rub my eyes, finishing making Marshals 'bed tub'. It's 1:00am and I took what was available, even though he really wouldn't use it to sleep.

"Alright," I whisper, "It's ready so just stay in here and Cake won't be too mad."

He pushes off the counter, where he was sitting, and examines the tub.

"I guess this'll be ok," he says.

"It'd better me, this is my dorm you know."

"Yeah yeah whatever."

He gets into the tub and stretches his legs out. Tossing and turning until he gets into the position that's comfortable.

"If that's all, I'm going to bed." I state as I begin the walk away, "Good Night Ma-"

I feel my feet kick upwards, suddenly finding myself face up on Marshals chest.

"Dude what the hell, come on quit teasing I need to get up early this morning."

"Just shut up and sleep, I won't do anything to you," he says annoyed, grasping his arms around my body.

"What? No! Cake is going to kill me," blood rushes to my cheeks and I struggle to get away but his grip only strengthens.

I'm like a helpless animal, serving as a meal to a hungry beast such as himself. I give up. Knowing there was no possible way I would be escaping him.

I lay there, uncomfortably annoyed, and cross my arms. This is not how I pictured my night like. Not at all. I promised myself that I wouldn't fall asleep and for awhile I kept that promise. But...Marshals body was so comfortable and his body was just the right tempature and I couldn't help but close my eyes.

Not moments later I felt my entire body give into sleep and the situation. My eyes became too heavy and my body to exhausted. I had fallen asleep.

Now all I can hope is that my mind made the right choice.

Marshal.
