The Forsaken

Chapter 30: Can't Lose Control

[Heaven's POV]

I sit down on the couch and flick through the channels. 

Shad went out to look for a job so he won't be back until later. He told not to leave his apartment because he's worried that the psychic drip will get worse. 

'I'm so bored. There's nothing to do. Maybe I could go to the park for a little bit. I mean Shad won't mind. I'll only be gone for 2 or 3 hours.' I thought.

I run into Shad's bedroom and grab a pair of clothes. I take a shower then get dressed into the clothes. I leave the apartment and head to the park.

[Mason's POV]

I have learned a lot about Heaven from high school. Some information I learned about her is:

^She liked to watch anime^

^She was kinda shy^

^She loved to read & write^

^She didn't like any boys at school^

That's all I got from the first couple of entries. Before I could get any further the diary suddenly closed and flow back into Heaven's bedroom.

'That diary is so weird. First , it wants me to read it then second, wants me to stop.' I thought with with a sigh.

I suddenly feel thirsty for blood and walk into the kitchen. I drink some water but suddenly feel sick. It's probably because I haven't had blood in 24 hours.

Vampires at least need blood each day to survive but without the blood each day a vampire will lose control or die from hunger.

I feel my eyes turn red and start breathing heavy.

'NO NO NO! I can't lose control.' I thought.

I tightly grip onto the glass cup but accidentally break it. I look at my hand and notice the blood running down my hand. I would drink my own blood but it doesn't quite work that way.

Vampires can't drink their own blood because it taste awful or will can make you lose control faster.

I suddenly smell blood in the air. It's not mine. It's coming from Ryan's room. I slowly walk up to Ryan's door but stop myself.

'No Mason. Jade and Ryan are already pissed at you. Don't make it worse for yourself by drinking Ryan's blood.' I thought.

I run in the to my bedroom and slide down the door. I begin to breath heavier and feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I grip my stomach tightly and groan in pain. I feel my fangs grow out and my eyes turn red.

'Come on Mason, you have to stay in control.' I thought.

I run up to my nightstand and open the drawer. I grab a white pill bottle out and open it. I take out four red pills.

These pills help me relax whenever I'm about to lose control.

I eat the pills and lay down on my bed. I feel my eyes turn back to normal and my fangs go away. The pain goes away and my breathing slows down. I close my eyes and fall asleep.

[Ryan's POV]

I hear the sound of glass break come from the kitchen. I walk up to my door and was about to open it but hear heavy breathing on the other side.

'Is that Mason's breathing? Why is he breathing so heavy? Wait. Is he full vampire? Why is he full vampire if he has his substitute blood? Wait! Heaven never finished his substitute blood the other night. Has Mason been struggling this whole time without blood?' I thought.

I hear footsteps sprint into Mason's room and peck my head outside my door.

'Mason must have went back into his room. Why do I still hear his breathing?' I thought.

I close my door and lean my ear against Mason's side of the wall. I hear him groan then a drawer open. I hear him lay down on his bed then silences.

'Did he fall asleep?' I thought.

I leave my room and peck my head into Mason's room.

"Mason?" I asked.

I spot Mason laying down on his bed, asleep. I spot a pill bottle on his nightstand. I walk into Mason's bedroom and pick up the bottle. I read the grand name 'Relax'. I read the instructions:

^Take with water^

^Only take two pills^

^Don't go to sleep after taking pills^

'I wonder how many pills Mason took?' I thought.

I put the pill bottle down and look at Mason.

'I'll check on him in an hour or two.' I thought.
