Don't Look in the Basement

Chapter 6

   Sorry I haven't updated in a really long time. I've been busy with school,finals and studying but I managed to get a chapter done this week. :) Once again thank you to everyone whos been commenting and reading and I really appreciate the feedback! I hope you enjoy this chapter!

I sat curled up for the longest time. I didn't know how long it had been,but I had cried until I couldn't anymore. The headache was slowly starting to go away as well as the ringing in my ears. It took me the longest time to have enough courage to go look in the mirror again. When I was able to finally get up,I was slightly relieved to see that my skin wasn't as pale and my eyes were no longer ringed red. But I was really hungry and thirsty.

      Once more I walked over to the door and sure enough it was still locked. I slammed my fist into it with frustration. Clutching my now aching hand, I wandered around the room,which was larger then I had first thought it was. Pulling open a smaller door, I saw an empty closet . Across from that one was another door, and when I opened that one I saw it was a bathroom. I stepped inside and my feet touched cold, immaculately white, marble flooring. There was a sink, a toilet, and a shower. All the normal stuff that would be in a bathroom.  There were no windows in here either. I walked over to the sink and looked in the cabinets underneath. Nothing I could use as a possible weapon for self defense. Just a few towels that looked like they hadn't been touched in years and a plastic cup. I took the cup though and filled it with water from the sink. I was so thirsty, I gulped it down quickly,then filled another glass which I also drank without a second thought.

    I looked in the bathroom mirror and the very pale,sickly looking girl still stared back at me. I didn't understand how I had survived walking in the snow and cold last night. All I could remember was passing out and I knew he must have carried me the rest of the way. Yet,there was something else I couldn't remember. It felt like something else could have happened. The more I thought about it, the more it felt like a piece was missing to the puzzle. My mind was still trying to put everything together as I stepped back into the bedroom,when I spotted someone sitting in the chair across from the bed. I stopped walking and stood still.

     It wasn't Jacob. He looked like him a little bit,but then again he didn't. He had the same messy dark brown hair, but his eyes were also the same dark shade of brown. Like Jacob his eyes looked like they were glowing and his skin was also a chalky white. I gulped as I realized that he was also a vampire and I knew what he was capable of. He just stared at me and I stared back at him in mutual silence.

  "W-who are you?" I finally managed to ask in a quiet voice.

 He said nothing for a minute before replying in a hushed voice almost as quiet as mine.

 "Nobody that you need to be concerned with right now." He stood up from the chair,eying me as if I posed a threat.

He was tall,not as tall as Jacob,but I could tell he had more defined muscle then Jacob did. I decided right away it was best not to get him mad.

"Are you hungry?" he asked in a simple statement that was devoid of all emotion.

I nodded almost feeling my empty stomach growling.

With a cold rush of air,he was right in front of me.

  "Okay then I'm going to take you downstairs to the kitchen. You will stay right beside me at all times,if you even try running I will catch you before your second step and take you back here where you will be locked in for the rest of the night,is that clear?"

"Crystal." I replied as his eyes stared down at me.

"Good." and with that he stepped away and walked to the door where he waited for me to follow him.
