❤II.In love

"Oh, dude, what's wrong with you?" Tom continued his speech. "You had her in your hands! And nobody was there to see you! Why did you hold back? I can't understand you, brother."

"Yeah. I can't even understand myself. I just...feel strange when she's around." I said, angry at myself for losing such a perfect opportunity.

"I'll tell you what's going on." said Ben. "You like her, right? You fell in love with her and you didn't want to hurt her."

I felt embarrassed, but I couldn't speak to defend myself.

"You idiot!" Tom said. "You're such a wuss!"

"And, anyway, why do you still go on with the 'No-Named-Girl thing?" asked Jake."You know her name, I know her name, we all know her name. But why do you have to make her tell you her name? OK, who else thinks I said ’her name’ too many times, raise up your hands."

Everybody raised their hands, laughing, but I ignored Jake’s last question and simply answered his first one.

"I've started something. I'm not gonna give up. She'll be the one who'll give up."

"You're so stubborn. I don't think she is gonna give up. She's stubborn too. This thing could last forever."

"She'll give up, OK? Stop bothering me!"

"Dude, you're crazy about her! Anyway, I have to brush Fast Race. Who's coming to the stable?" asked Tom.

Of course, we all got at the stable and brushed our horses. Anyway, we were always staying together, since we had  common…um, interests.

"Bloom is agitated." said Ben.

"Faith too. I think it will rain. They are always agitated before raining." Jake added.

"Or maybe they are in heat, like Josh." said Tom, laughing.

"Go to Hell, Tom! You're funny!" said Jake, laughing with my brother.

"F*ck you, brother." I said, and then my fist hit Tom's face.

"The lover is violent, huh?" said Tom, licking the blood off  his lips, relishing the metallic taste.

I wanted to hit him again, but Jake caught my wrist.

"Stop it, Josh. I'm hungry. Don't make things worse. Now everything around smells like blood because of you." he said.

"You're right, I'm hungry too. Are we going to eat?" I asked.

"Okay, c'mon."

We arrived in the forest quickly and smelled a deer herd. We followed the scent to track down the herd, soon spotting six does and four bucks.

"Let's take the bucks. Better challenge, with those horns. But, what am I saying? Anyway, bucks or does, deers are the easiest game." I said, and then each one of us jumped on a buck.

Mine started moving around like mad, but stopped when I got my fangs into its throat and its warm blood filled my mouth. When we finished...lunch, we went back to the village and then rid on the plains. Of course, Alice and Rebecca were there too.

"Hey, No-Named-Girl! I wanted to ask: what happened back in the town? Did you run away because you were scared?" I asked, sneering.

She did not answer, just threw me a scowl and her tongue, then left.

"Oh, God, this girl isn't easy to intimidate." I whispered. "What the heck do I have to do to her to react like the other girls?"

"You know very well that, if you show her what you are, she'll be afraid of you too." Tom said. "But you're a too big of a spazhead and human-lover to hurt her. You know that if you bite her, everything will be different."
