Starlight

Chapter 3

The burning was excruciating. It felt endless, It felt like I was burning forever, and it wouldn’t stop. I wondered if it was hell, I heard of hell before, the lake of fire how all you feel is the fire and getting burned.

Sometimes it’d numb, and then others it seemed like it would get worse. I hated the feeling, and I wished I would of stayed inside. I didn’t want to feel it anymore. It was worth it at the time, to save the girl from dying, but now I just wished I hadn’t.

All along it was bait from the guy, he planted the baby in the tree outside my window. It was like he knew I’d save her. He wanted to kill me that was all; which made me think back to my theory of vampires. Was the man a vampire?

It was possible. The man could have wanted to suck my blood, and then he saved me. I remember the last words I heard before I passed, I got you he said. But that didn’t mean nothing, maybe I was far to go to be saved.

Maybe I was too late I suddenly heard a voice say. I hadn’t realized I could hear, I was too busy focusing on my thoughts to notice. I listened for more, and heard more voices. I couldn’t recognize any of them.

Son, listen to her heart. Another voice said, I guessed it was the ones father? Since he said son. I could hear other sounds, the sound of something or someone sucking, I even heard the sound of hearts beating.

One was beating really fast, and it seemed to go faster and faster. The other one was fast, but not as fast as the other heart. I could tell the difference from them though, one seemed smaller than the other, and maybe it was.

What happened to the vampire who bit her? The voice asked, the same voice who I assumed was the father. Vampire? Who bit her? Was her me? What did that mean? If a vampire bites a human, what happens to the human?

Would they become a vampire as well? Or would they die? Would they just wake up human again? I was confused, I needed answers.

Hes gone, I took care of it. The voice sounded musical, and I swear I heard it before. I wonder what he meant by gone, and taken care of. Did he kill the vampire? I tried to stake the vampire and it didn’t work, so maybe he had a different way?

 

I zoned out again. What is going to happen with the little girl? I hoped nothing would happen to her, maybe she was someone’s child? But what if she wasn’t? What if she was a orphan or maybe her parents died?

I knew one thing for sure, I was going to take care of this child. Even though I just met her, even though I wasn’t sure I could even take care of a baby.

Was I ready to be a mother? Probably sometime in the future, but now am I? Graduation is just around the corner, and now I have this little girl to take care of… and I was going to take care of her, even if I had to ask around for help.

Almost like I stook my head to shake the thoughts out, I suddenly thought of something else. It was like a snap in my brain, I don’t know what caused it. My thoughts turned to Edward, the boy who I ignored for a year because all he would do was glare at me.

He was him differently now, he was actually nice to me for a change! Even saved me from being attacked by the vampire guy. It was nice to see, and I was thankful he saved me.
