Manipulation

Ch 37 Within the Vampire's walls

I had circled the oval, the dorm buildings, looked around the common places i thought i might find him, but i came up empty handed.

Now i stood looking up at the Astute houses front door which loomed over me like an unforgiving monster. Monster or not, i needed to get in. So i pulled the door open, thankful the door didn't creak and stepped into the silent, still dark house. It was around 7pm now, most people wouldn't be rising for at least another half hour. So i ran towards the room in which i knew Lucas slept and stopped in front of the door. I wasn't sure weather to knock or just enter. Lucas and his roommate were probable asleep still.

I tested the door, only half surprised it was unlocked. The room was dark, curtains pulled closed tightly. The room smelled of Vampire, a strange scent that made me scrunch up my nose. The beds had two huge lumps on them, distorted figures that were covered in sprawled blankets. I walked over to Lucas's bed, looking down to see the top of his black hair sticking in all directions, his face buried in the covers. I debated for a second weather this was a good idea or not.

But it was too late. Lucas sat up and grabbed me, pulling me into the bed and shoving me onto the mattress. I looked at his icy eyes and saw him looking at me. "My little Wolf. What are you doing in my room?" he asks hovering over me, eyes serious and his hands unmoving on my arms.

"I needed to see you" I breath softly, caught in his eyes again.

Lucas watched me for a while then leaned down and kissed my nose which made me smile. "Here i am. Couldn't this wait though? you woke me up"

I look at the hot Vampire. He didn't look like he was asleep all that long ago, he looked wide awake. But then again, that's what would happen if someone walked into your dorm room while you're sleeping. "I'm sorry"

A smile played on Lucas's face. "Don't worry about it. Whats up?"

"The roof"

Lucas rolls his eyes at my retort. "Really? I didn't notice" he says sarcastically.

"Really? I thought it was quiet noticeable" i say kissing the corner of his lips.

"Well thank you for telling me,other wise i may never have known it was there"

I grin up at the vampire. "Your welcome" i chirp. Lucas brushed my cheek with the back of his fingers, eyes studying my face. I shivered at his touch. He leaned down slightly, his eyes on my lips. I leaned up to meet him, my lips pressing against his. He braced an elbow on the mattress, a hand finding my waist. He licked my lip, teasing me with his tongue. I opened my mouth, more then willing to let him in my mouth. He tastes of mint i think as i wrap my arms around his neck, pulling him down to me.

My fingers curling into his hair, tangling themselves in the strands of hair. Lucas pulled me closer, his arm around my waist. I ground slightly at him, wishing he didn't make me feel the way i did. I pulled back, needing air.

Lucas stopped then, laying down beside me before pulling me towards his chest where i curled up happily. I then felt a thrilling feeling, the feeling of danger. He was hungry again. I looked up at him, wanting to offer him my neck, but refused to do so, soon i was going to be called a blood whore. I didn't need that, not with everything going on. Lucas's voice cut though my voice. "I wish you didn't make me feel like this..." he says into the air. I curled up closer to him, not sure if that was a complement or not. "My little Wolf, you make me crazy" he says squeezing my waist.

We lay in silence for a while, not saying anything. then i realized i needed to say something. "Lucas" i breath, looking up at him. One blue eyes opened, looking down at me. "I think...my wolf talked to me last night" i say sitting up slightly, my hair falling around me in tangles curls. "Either that, or it was a weird dream"

Lucas stayed silent for a while. I didn't turn around to look at him, for fear that he might be looking at me like i was crazy. Then i felt his arm around my waist and he pulled me back down. "I'm not great with foretelling dreams, but tell me about it" he says pulling me to his chest. I smiled, thankful he wasn't laughing at me. And i told him everything.

By the end he was still silent, watching me quietly. "I think your wolf was talking to you" he says looking up at the roof. "But..."

"But what?" i ask sitting up slightly.

"You need to stop calling it your wolf. It's a part of you, it is you, it's your other half. It even said so"

I thought it over. It had, not in so Meany words, but it was the same sort of thing. "Your right"

"I'm always right" He grins and kisses my forehead.

"Not always" i tease kissing his jaw.

"What am i not right about?" Lucas ask frowning and holding my waist carefully in his hands.

"That i can't lie" I smile resting my head on his chest. "I can pull of a convincing lie ever now and then" I say glancing up at him and winking playful. Then i pause and correct myself. "Except around you"

Lucas smiles and tightens his hold for a second before kissing my forehead. "Whatever you say Kat, whatever you say"

"It is what i say" I mumble and snuggle closer to him, my face buried in his chest.
