Forbidden Love #ON HOLD# (Book #1 of the Cursed With A Forbidden Love Series)

Chapter 18

Hey guys! Just thought I'd say this now, 'Forbidden Love' is not something that I'm 100% dedicated to. I started drafting this book 2 years ago approx and this is all this book is, my drafts. This is not completed or edited and I didn't sit down one day and think to myself - "I'm gonna write a book". I had an idea and wrote it down. It was not planned. And it's not something I make time for. When I'm bored or get another chapter idea, I write part of a chapter, and when I spare time I might write a sentence more, until finally I have another completed chapter. So I know this isn't the best story going, and there are a million and one plot holes, but if you bare with me, when it's finished, I promise I will go back through and edit and complete it until it's a work of art. But for now, I'm a 15 year old with an idea. And ideas change. I make this story up as I go along. Please respect that.

Sorry for the long intro, but please, enjoy.

Chapter 18

"Are you sure it's this way?" Hannah called out, catching her breath for a second.

"Positive." I turned back and Poppy and Hannah were bent over, gasping for air. Babies. We'd only been running for all of 2 minutes.

"AB positive." I chuckled under my breath.

I'd ditched the contacts before we'd set off. They'd been irritating me all day, and I hunted better without distractions.

I was about to keep running when the scent changed directions, at first, I couldn't understand why I wasn't moving but the scent was getting stronger until-

"Watch out!" A scared voice cut through the air as a body collided with mine, my forearm scraping against the ground. This body landed on top of me, making my head smack the woodsy ground.

"Sorry!" A tall and lanky boy looking very much like Hannah and Poppy said, as he scrambled back.

"I take it you're Morgan?"

"How did you-"

"Morgan!" Hannah's voice called out in relief, making him turn just in time to catch his smaller sister throwing her arms around his neck.

Morgan threw Hannah off him and staggered back holding his hands to his chest. "No, Hannah, stay back! I don't want to hurt you!"

Slowly stepping forward, as if the slightest movement would set him off, Hannah replied, "You won't, it's ok. Come back home now, there's something we need to talk about."

"You don't understand!" Shaking his head, Morgan took another step back and fell over the root of a tree. He dusted himself off and looked wearily at Poppy.

Hannah grew fidgety, tapping her fingers against her jeans. "Yes I do, it's already happened to me and Poppy."

"What has, guys?" He asked, realising I was here.

"Who are you? Actually, tell me later, we need to run!"

"Why?" I asked.

His face grew worried as if he'd just remembered something. "There's a guy chasing after me with a crossbow."

"Are you sure?" I asked, my voice laced with panic.

Crossbows meant wood, and wood through the heart meant my death. Any vampire's death.

"Yes, he kept chanting about how unholy I was. I don't understand please." Morgan was on the verge of tears and that made me realise how serious this was.

I grabbed his arm. "We need to get you out of here before -"

"Found you."

A 'vvvwuumm' ripped through the air, and pain radiated down my arm.
