The vampires tutor

Lesson 20.

RONNIE'S POV

For the past for weeks I haven't been able to sleep very well.

The dreams that I have been having are too real and vivid, as if they are more than just made up thoughts stringed together in my mind when I am unconscious.

As I lay in bed, I pull the covers up around me and bury my face in the lavender scented fabric; the smell bringing back so many memories. But I'm so confused on what is real and what is not. They all feel real, like I lived them myself, but there is no way that it could be real sense I'm not over a hundred years old. The other big question being why are Elex, Ashley and all the others there too.

I let out a big sign and stare up at my ceiling, my mind going off on a million thoughts; but all of a sudden I jump awake with the image of the new janitor reaching for me. He had bright red eyes, fangs bared and dark veins raising from under his pale skin.

My body breaks out in goosebumps and I can feel a tingling sensation in my chest. I put my hand on my chest and it becomes hard to breath, looking down at my chest my eyes widen as I see my hands covered in blood and I can even taste it in my mouth.

I scream out and scramble out of my bed, my shirt covered in blood and the pain growing. It gets harder and harder to breath and I fall to my knees gasping as my hands clutch at my chest where the pain is the worst.

Black dolls start to could my vision, but what little reminds is not of my bedroom floor; It's of a cobble stone street with loud blues music playing around me, a low glow of a street light in the distance.

I can faintly remember calling out for help, but not to just anyone. I called out a name, of someone I thought would always be there to protect me.

Elex.

"Ronnie!" I hear Elex's voice. "Ronnie!"

I open my eyes and look up at him, he is crouched down in front of me. My back pressed against the furthest corner in my room, my knees tucked to my chest and hands on my chest. Confused, I look down at my chest and there is no blood, the pain completely gone.

Tears fill my eyes instantly and I look at Elex who looks at me with so much concern.

"What is happening to me?" I sob loudly, my fingers tangling into my hair and I pull on it slightly hoping that it will bring me back to some sort of reality that I used to know.

Elex reaches for me and gently brushing some of my tears away, then grabbing my waist he scoops my up and lays me in my bed, he lays down next to me as I continue to sob.

Nothing makes sense anymore, I don't know what to believe, I feel like the world I lived in, is now just a lie to what really is the world I am meant to be living in.

"Shhh, I'm here." Elex whispers to me and I look up at him.

He is also so confusing. When he says things like he wants me and that he is here for me, I feel like he means it. As if he is the only thing that makes sense right now in my life.

"Elex, what is happening to me?"

"You're remembering." He says softly with a worried tone.

His large hands run up and down my back, my head tucked under his chin; I take in a deep breath with a small sniffle to follow. He makes me so much calmer, yet at the same time I feel butterflies exploding inside me.

"Elex, you are a vampire. Your family is all vampires; but I'm just a human."

"I know, you have been reincarnated many times."

My brain tries to process all this, I've never thought that I would be reincarnated; but then again I didn't know that vampires really existed till now.

What ever happened to my peaceful life?

As we lay here in my bed, I think about everything that is going on.

But one question lingers on the edge of tongue.

"Elex..." I whisper, hoping that he is still awake.

"Yes, little rabbit?" He whispers back.

"How does someone get reincarnated?"

A long silence follows and I prop myself up on my elbows to look at Elex; but when I do, my stomach drops like a rock in a pond. He is looking at me but he is far off in a trance or memory, his eyebrows pulled together and lips in a straight line.

My eyes glance to his lips and for some reason I feel the urge to do something to bring him back to this moment, to me know. Which is a weird thought that he might have liked an older version of me better than the me now.

The faintest feeling of having someone kiss me comes into my head and I don't even remember the last time someone has kissed me.

"Elex." I touch his chest and he blinks.

"Sorry. What was your question?"

"How does someone get reincarnated?"

"Ronnie, I don't know if-"

"Elex, tell me."

"The person has to die." His voice holds no emotion and I tense.

"So I was murdered?" I lay back down and look up at the ceiling, my mind flashing the image of the janitor in my head.

"Ronnie, everything is going to be alright, I promise that I will be here this time."

He holds me tighter and guides my head back under his chin, my ear pressed against his chest. I can hear his heartbeat and I knew that by its slightly faster rhythm, he wasn't sure if things where going to be alright.

My own heart picking up speed.
