Lies and secrets (( Mark Tuan x Reader ))

Chapter 22

Hannah POV

Me and Mark confessed our love for each other, I think we always felt like that but we can finally say it after so many good months of being with him.

He was something else, in a good way, he made my night a night to remember, but this was a world of passion and it was just amazing, nothing like I've experienced before.

I was sitting in the library with Air. He had given Mark a job to get a better suit than the one he had. I was sitting reading while Air was at his desk, I could feel a sort of tension between us, I'm guessing its because I don't like him. It is true I hate his attitude and him as a whole, he just has a feel of madness and evil, I just can't understand it or shake it off.

"I am quite looking forward to this evening, I think you will outshine everyone darling" air said the way he said it made me uncomfortable.

"so am I" I chuckled nervously, trying to focus on reading my book, but I just couldn't it felt weird and uncomfortable.

"yes, mark should of known better than to bring cheap suits here" he said standing up turning to the big window behind his desk. Odd. But mark is Not cheap.

"the suit wasn't cheap, but, I suppose a designer suit would be more appropriate for the party" I say, defending mark.

"true my dear. I'm trusting you have a dress ready?" he said turning sideways to me, I closed my book and met his stare.

"yes, I do, I'm rather Happy with it, I intend to wear it" I wasn't wanting to use his money to get a designer dress when I have a perfectly good one of my own.

"that's good, need to make a good impression on them you know"

"why should I do that? I'm never going to meet them again nor am I an elder like you" its true, why should I be here? I'm what is known as a commoner vampire, an everyday vampire compared with an elder.

"ah but Hannah we are aware of your powers" I looked at him with shock. Did he know? Maybe Mark told him. I relaxed again. But I was still on edge.

"so what is all this about then?" I say

"they want to meet you Hannah, they are just as big of fans than I am"

"what? Fans? Because of my powers?"

"oh yes Hannah"

I say back in my seat. So all of this is because the elders wanted to meet me? Seems silly if you ask me, why go through all of this trouble just to see someone.

"why don't you wear that necklace I gave you?" he said breaking my thoughts.

"well since its special, I want to wear it for special occasions. I thought my mother gave me it"

"yes that's what I meant" he said "well we don't have long now before its time, we changed the times so Mark wouldn't be late"

The way he said mark was with what I think was anger. Why did he hate him so much? Or why was he mad at him? Everytime I bring Mark up or if someone did, he would have a face of disgust, I was confused as to why. But might as well not dwell on it.

"so what time would people be arriving at?" I asked him standing up.

"6:30" he turned to the clock and I did as well and could see it was 5 already.

"I better get ready" I chuckled a bit nervously. As I was walking to the door, I reached for the handle and I could feel a shadow cast over me.

"please do and don't fall on the stairs coming down in your dress" he whispered, he whispered in a way that made my skin crawl and my hairs stand up on edge. It was creepy. He was creepy.

"I wont" I quickly opened the door and practically ran up the huge, wide stairs, through the corridors and slammed the door. Locking it, I turned my back and slid down the door. Bringing my knees up to my chest.

Air. Mad. Crazy. Creepy.

He's something that shouldn't be around, he has a dark shadow, a deep darkness brewing in him, swirling like a snake in the grass. There isn't right about him, I felt small and uncomfortable.

*knock knock*

"Hannah is this locked?" I heard mark I rushed up and opened it, I basically through myself on him for a hug.

"everything okay? What's happened?" he said with concern as we hugged.

"I just missed you here" I said, he had been gone for what seemed like forever, I hated being near Air.

"I missed you too Hannah but this isn't like you" I pulled away giving me a small smile.

"there is something wrong with Air" I came out boldly saying. I know his reaction is going to be hurt or even a look of me being crazy.

"I know" I looked at him with confusion.

"you know?" I asked. How?

"yeah come on, ill tell you before you start to get ready" he came into the room and I followed him closing the door.

"Mark, its something about him... It makes me uncomfortable... Uneasy... in the library he came right up behind me, it was a horrible feeling, so close I could feel his horrid breath, he was pushed up against me almost" I say holding my sides.

"bastard... I know what you are thinking Hannah... Your not wrong, he's mad." he paused "before we came here, I was attacked in the school bathrooms"

I was taken back, attack? Oh fuck. He didn't tell me? I can't believe that.

"attacked? You never told me?"

"I didn't want to worry you Hannah, honestly I know how you can be sometimes, you worry too much " he kissed my forehead. "that's not the point though, the guys who tried to kill me or whatever, I killed them, but they worked for Air"

"they worked for air? And they wanted to kill you?"

"yes, Hannah, I fear for tonight, for us"

I went over to him and cupped his face. I stared into his eyes which filled with worry and fear.

"Mark we need to stay for tonight, find out what he's up to, try and stop him" he looked down then back up.

"I agree Hannah, let's get ready though don't want to be late" he smiled faintly.

- time skip -

We were both ready but I got ready in the bedroom, he got ready in our onsweet.

"you ready Hannah?" he called through.

"yep come through!" I shouted fiddling with my hair in the mirror. Nervous I stood up, my red dress was beautiful (one at the top, that's what they are wearing) my hair curled and my make up was done, it was like a professional did it, well considering I don't do make up and me actually trying looks really nice. I was happy with what I was wearing and just me in general. For the first time in a long time I looked beautiful.

Once Mark opened the bathroom door, he looked so handsome, the suit fitted him perfectly and that he just looked perfect. He saw me and his whole face dropped. He didn't say a word. Oh god. He doesn't like the dress.

"you don't like it?" I say to him "I'm sorry, I thought you might of liked it, its red so I thought-"

"its gorgeous" he said. I looked up at him he was smiling like a crazy man.

"you like it?"

"like it? I love it" he said taking both of my hands and looking at me up and down. "you are stunning Hannah, I'm lucky to have you by my side"

"I'm glad Mark" I reached up to his cheek and kissed it.

"come on can't keep them waiting" he smiled wrapping his arm around my waist.

"lets" I say and we walked out and carried down the corridors.

We didn't know what to expect, I only hope, that bad nothing happens.
