Javen P.O.V
I felt something smash into me from the side; my body flew through the air, just as an explosion went off. Ezra! I landed on my back, in serious pain, my eyes barely opened. I raised my arm and I could see my skin had been badly burnt. I looked on the ground next to me and saw Nate passed out. There was a pair of boots standing behind him. I followed the legs up and saw… Ashton.
“I warned you,” he said leaning forward. “Just think of this as my way of boasting how easy it would be to kill you”
“I’ll kill you, that’s a promise,” I mumbled. The pain was really bad; I could feel myself on the brink of death. I was so weak.
Ashton laughed “Javen heed this warning, because if you don’t I’ll take what’s important to you, and then I’ll turn him against you”
“You leave Ezra alone” I threatened.
He just laughed, “Javen, you can’t say what happens to Ezra” he leaned forward and placed his mouth by my ear “Especially when I had him first”
Confused I groaned and tried to roll over. I felt a shooting pain in my head, and down my body, my vision swam and turned fuzzy. Ashton’s laughter replayed in my mind, over and over. I groaned feeling myself slowly healing. Then I felt two arms under me lifting me up. My eyes closed and I passed out.
I woke up to a bright light shining in my face, I groaned and sat up. I saw Connor looking at me anxiously a flashlight in his hand. What when did he get here? Where was here? I looked around and saw I was in my bed. I closed my eyes and lay down, I don’t understand why I was feeling so bad, and surely I should have healed by now.
“Connor, what is going on?” I asked my throat husky.
“I got a text on my phone telling me to be in the school parking lot at 4pm, I saw the explosion and I moved yours and Nate’s body before anyone could spot you. I took you straight home. Nate’s awake… how are you doing?”
“Urgh why do I hurt so bad? Shouldn’t I have healed yet?”
“You need blood, and a lot of it. It’s taking your body much longer to heal because you haven’t got enough blood in your system. You need to feed properly”
I shuddered knowing exactly what he meant by feed properly. I had to drain someone… kill them, and probably someone young, with a lot of essence. I nodded still not opening my eyes. My body felt like it was shutting down, which I know happens if a vampire doesn’t feed for a long time.
“You’ll have to bring them too me, I feel too weak”
“She’s already here,” Connor whispered sadly.
I opened my eyes and saw a girl who looked about 14 sitting on the chair next to my bed, her eyes glassed over. She must have been compelled to sit there, to not be frightened. That would explain the quietness, no struggle and why she wasn’t hand cuffed or something. I felt disgusted with myself knowing what I was about to do.
I sat up slowly taking her wrist in my hand, without wasting anytime I bit down on her wrist, she screamed loudly and started thrashing around. I took a sucked her blood drawing it into my body, the taste was mute and pointless. I was too starved to be indulging in flavours. I heard her heartbeat slow down and I pulled away.
“Javen what’s wrong?” Connor asked.
“I can’t do it” I looked over at the whimpering girl clutching her wrist to her chest “She’s just a little girl, I cant take her life. Compel her let her go. I don’t care if it takes me a while longer than normal to heal, I wont kill her”
