The Hunt (The Forbidden)

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

                 As I walked out of the bar I saw Derek walking to me.

“Chloe, can I ask you something? He asked me as he pulled my arm to turn

“Let go of my arm, your holding it to tight” I told him pulling my arm away from him

“Oh sorry” he said

“What do you have to ask me?” I asked him and looking around

“I’ve been looking for Emily’s killer, and I think I have a lead. I haven’t told the cops yet” he told me looking into my eyes

“What? You have to tell the cops Derek” I told him rising my voice

“Not yet, I have to know who killed her, I love…loved her Chloe” he said before his eyes got watery

“I understand. But why are you telling me?” I told him putting my hand on his shoulder

“Cuz I need your help. And cuz Emily always came to you for help” he said putting his head down

“Ok I’ll help you. You’re not the only one who wants to know who killed her” I told him, I didn’t want him to know that her killer was really a vampire.

He looked at me with such surprise in his eyes. Someone else would have thought that he was crazy to try to find the murder, but I understood him and I also didn’t want him to get hurt or killed.

“Really Chloe?” he asked me a bit shaky

“Yes. You have my word on it” I told him reassuring him I was with him

“Thank you, I’ll call if anything” he said while walking to his car.

I began to walk to my apartment; I grew worried and scared as I walked alone. Bernadette could be around ready to attack me. I ran to my building and locked myself in my apartment; I just stood there at the door not knowing what to do. Then my stomach growled, I forgotten to eat anything so I ordered food.

As I watched the TV, I couldn’t help it but feel uneasy. Something in the back of my mind was telling me to call Mason but my pride was in the way of that. As I turned and looked around my apartment I felt someone watching me but there was no one around. When I went to turn back to the TV, there she was.

“Hello Chloe, didn’t I warn you?” Bernadette said while turning off the TV

“What do you want?” I told her not showing any type of emotion

“Well, you see you have something that I want and I’m only doing this for your own good” she said while sitting on the table

“I’m not seeing Mason anymore, you were right” I had to tell her that since its true

“Are you really?” she said very slowly

“Yes, I can’t be with a vampire and all he does his speak of you”. I told her sounding very hurtful.

“Does he really?” she sounded delighted

“Yes, and it took him this long to realize this” I said

“Then it won’t bother him if I kill you then” she said getting closer to me

I didn’t know what to do, so I stood there in my chair motionless. She and I were face to face and her aqua eyes looking deep within my soul it felt. She whisper in my ear

“Do you think I’m a fool, I know your lying to me child”

The next thing I knew I felt a sharp pain in my left shoulder, and I couldn’t move. She took her sharp nails and pressed it into my shoulder. As I screamed in pain and she kept pressing deeper in it. I kept saying inside my head

“Mason please don’t come” I kept saying to myself

“Where is he to save you?” she yelled at me

“I don’t know!” I told her screaming

She pressed her nails even more into me. All I could focus on was the pain and my skin ripping open, blood running down my arm. Finally she let go of me and I dropped to the floor.

“We will be in touch child” she said before leaving.

I was gasping for air, the pain was too much. I began to walk to the bathroom to wrap my wound. The next think I knew I got really dizzy and light headed. I couldn’t stand on my feet anymore. I called out Mason’s name before falling. It wasn’t just the pain in my shoulder I was feeling, I felt my world falling down on me. A crazy bitch wants to kill me, my boyfriend is a vampire and I am the recantation of his wife. It’s just too much to deal with it, but I did know that I loved Mason still and I needed him here with me now.

“Chloe! Where are you?” he called out

“I’m here, in the bathroom” I yelled out

“How bad are you hurt?” he said while kneeing to me

“I’m a mess Mason. My shoulder might be broking” I told him

“Come let me see love” he said as he was holding me up

He began to look at it, every time he moved me I bit down on the towel.

“Well, you did break it, ripped a few things but if you drink some of my b….” he stopped

“What is it? I don’t care what it is” I told him forcefully

“In order to heel fast, you have to drink my blood” he said while looking at me

“Fine, I’ll do it. I don’t care about anything anymore” I told him in a  low voice.

He looked at me and then held out his wrist. He bit into it and handed it to me. I looked at it not sure for a moment but then I began to drink. It was so warm but to me it didn’t taste like anything, I drank it until the pain in my arm grew less and less. When I stopped drinking I felt a brush of energy running through my body, I never felt something like that before.

“Oh my god, I feel funny” I told him

“Yeah that’s normal, our blood is like an energy drink on crack” he said while checking my shoulder

“There’s nothing there anymore” I told him in disbelief

As I stood up and walked to my bedroom to change, I didn’t feel safe anymore in my own house so I told Mason

“Is it ok if I spent a night at your house?” I asked him

“That would be wonderful love, that way I know your safe all the time” he said with such delight
