The Academy Vampire

{ Chapter 6 } - Why are you here?

--- Owen's Pov ---

The car ride back to South Carolina was quiet, to say the least. No one wanted to comment on my foul mood as we left Sean's home and I certainly didn't want to talk about it with them. They wouldn't understand what I felt. Honestly, they probably believed I was totally repulsed by the idea of being with a man. They were obviously wrong about that.

With all the quietness, I fell asleep and began to dream.

:::: Dream ::::

I was back in his bed and I could feel myself dozing in the dream as a body slipped into bed. The figure was cool, but not cold, as an arms went around my waist. My eyes fluttered open and I craned my neck around to face the figure and was met with Sean's beautiful eyes staring down at me.

"Hello, Kijo. Are you missing me already?" He whispered as he ran his hand down the side of my body, making me shiver, "Because I surely miss you."

I nodded enthusiastically, panting as he moved his hand into my pants, gripping my erection and beginning to stroke me. He leaned down gently as he felt out for the vein in my neck with his mouth, piercing it with his fangs. He kept his arms around me, mostly to keep him still, while he fed. Then, he healed up the wound, gently releasing me and maneuvering me to flop against his chest as he continued to touch me.

"Feel good?" He whispered. I answered him with a gentle peck onto the tip of his nose. "Then why would you leave me, Owen?" All touching stopped then as I got off his lap and turned to cross my legs in front of me and look him in the eye.

"What we had was wrong, Sean. I can't be with you when I have a team to take care of and they were a wreck without me."

"Were you not happy here, Owen? I tried to do everything in my power to keep you safe and happy while you were here. If you come back, I'll let you bring your team, if it makes you happy," He offered, visibly upset with the situation at hand.

"It's not safe for you, Sean... I'm not safe for you. The Academy and especially my team, are after you for all the murders you've committed. I know your reasoning, but I can't allow the Academy to get to you," I whispered, tearing up as my heart swelled in pain for him.

"I don't want you to protect me from your Academy! I can handle them, as long as I have you," He said, cupping my cheeks in his hands, "I only need you, and together we can brave anything."

I began to sob as I reached up and removed his hands away from my face, "I wish that could be true, Sean."

Suddenly, his face morphed from sadness to anger, "Just you wait, Kijo. I'll show you how well we can work together, even if you're not willing to fight for us."

:::: End of Dream :::::

I woke up startled as the car went over a few pot holes in the road. I felt something wet on my cheek and I reached up, what seemed to be a tear off my cheek. I reached down to hold the pendant Sean bought me in my hand, suddenly feeling sentimental.

I then began to focus on my surroundings, hearing voices whispering in the front seat.

"I'm worried about him, Victor. I've never seen him fall asleep in a car, much less mumble in his sleep," Kota stated.

"Kota, I'm sure he's just stressed out. He was taken and probably used in hell knows how many ways. It's best that we just leave him alone with his thoughts. You know how much he likes to be alone."
