Vampire Academy

Chapter 22

   It felt like hours had went by staring into Mr.Hensmens shocked alluring blue eyes as he stared back into mines.
I'm pretty sure I had stopped breathing about two minutes ago and now the air was practically tutoring me as it swept past my nostrils begging for entrance.

    Noah had mirrored my expression and I could feel the goosebumps arising on my skin creating an army of itchy patches.

"Skylar what are you doing here?" His deeply rough voice asked as the look on his face became hard and stern.

I found it hard to answer him without stuttering. That man was just so intimidating, even when he wasn't trying to be. It's annoying honestly. No one makes me feel as uncomfortable as Mr. Hensmen dose and although I'd have to admit a part of it was because he was so good looking , but also because he's a vampire. An originated descendent.

There was honestly no way of answering that question in a way that would make sense to him. I stood there mentally stuttering on my words. It was an inside battle, a war against the truth and the obscure lie that I needed him to believe.

As the seconds flew by I had conjured up a perfect excuse and I was about to say it before Noah had cut in saying "We were studying"
Because that's what he's gonna believe...

"Studying?" Mr.Hensmen repeated with a vulgar look on his face. His eyes then found their way to me giving an unmerciful parental stare that made me shit bricks, metaphorically that is.

"Yea. I'm really struggling in my classes" I played on in an attempt to make the plot line seem more convincing, even though it was horse shit.
The tar haired man craned his head to the side as his thick eyebrows came together in a creasing shape.

"Sky your grades are pure perfection, top of your classes in fact" he implored, blue eyes sparkling like the ocean. "Why don't you just tell me the trut..." He stops mid sentence pausing for a moment.

I stay frozen in complete and utter terror as he comes towards me in rhythmic strides. The man is literally in my face.

I release shakily breaths bitting slightly on my lip to help me stop shaking even though it seems like I wouldn't be able to.

My heart is ready to leap out of my chest when his face inches closer to mine.
"Human...." is all he's says.
I look to Noah with a frantic
expression.
That's it. He knows about me. Now he's gonna kill me.
I knew it was a mistake coming here, ugh what is wrong with me?

I don't expect his next words but when he says them, I can't help but to feel shamefully relieved. "She drank human blood."
I looked down at the ground as the remembrance flashed through me. It was almost like electrocution. The horrible sharp pains pinching every nerve in my body reminding me of how horrible I am.

I had took another's life. Who the hell am I too do that?
"She's not against schools rules, she's off campus" Noah speaks up for me, his tall frame finding its way by my side. Our shoulders slightly touch.

   Noah's father scales me from head to toe almost as if he's examining me.
His wispy back locks fall beautifully in his face, and I wonder how he could see through them.

   "I didn't expect you to get your thirst so soon" the sharp blue-eyed man crooned.
My hands suddenly begin to tremble at my sides.
The nerves were prickling ever inch of my body in such a frantic way.

   Noah's face shifted into something that I couldn't quit describe.
A sly smirk graces its way onto his cold pink lips, and it's not the Noah I'm familiar with.

  "What the hell are you talking about?!" I find myself nearly shouting but not quite. My tone is hard and sharp at the edges, a deadly weapon indeed.

  "Ahh, Skylar, Skylar, Skylar..." Mr. Hensmen used my birth name which made me shudder.
"You really don't believe your human do you?" Noah seductively growls in my ear using extra emphasis on the word "human".

   I stumble away from him, deeper confusion setting into my features. What the actual fuck is going on here?

I needed so badly to understand why Noah was acting this way, and what the hell Mr. Hensmen meant by "I didn't expect you to get your thirst so soon"

I looked to my principle and back to Noah my eyes narrowing slightly.

"I don't understand what's going on Noah?" I ask in avail my voice slightly shaky giving off my nervous state.

"I know you think your human and you've been thinking that all your life, but that's the thing...your not mortal, infact..Your something entirely different" Mr. Hensmen revealed.

I give him a crazed look, my eyes dialing to the size of golf balls. I didn't know weather or not to believe what he was saying. It's was purely insane.
I came here for an answer or some sort of explanation to why these certain things were happening to me, but this. This wasn't what I was looking for.
A Mr. Hensmen that suddenly knew everything about me even things that I have yet to know, and a Noah who appears to have known everything.

This was too much to take in all at once....

"What do mean I'm not human? What the hell am I then" I yelled out, the frustration suddenly seeping in.

"Sky calm down" Noah grips onto my shoulder and without thinking I use both my hands giving him a hard shove that sends him hurling backwards until his body finally crashes into the bedroom wall followed by a sickening 'thud' sound.
My inner strength was unreal. Infact I was still feeling the adrenaline from Candy's blood.
I hadn't meant to do but something about his new demeanor had utterly pissed me off.
"Why the hell are keeping secrets from me!" I was completely out of control now and there was no stopping it.

"Why can't anyone just tell me what's wrong so I can fix it. If I'm not human, no I am human. My heart beats every passing second what do call that. What am I? Half vampire half human!"

The room goes silent and it suddenly feels like the walls are enclosing into a little box making it hard to breathe.

"That's exactly what you are."
