Sixteen: I'm Falling

Her voice didn't seem to shake in fear. She said it in a tone that was obviously hinted with irritation? Anger? The headmaster seemed to have finally understood what she meant. Who's coming.

"Oh dear..." He finally said as his lips spreads into a smile showing the fangs that proved he is a vampire. He licked his teeth as if to feel if his fangs did come out. I finally notice how his eyes changed from normal brown, to a bright sky-blue. He must've notice my staring when he cleared his throat. "Did my eyes change? Contact lenses tend to melt once I shift." He said his fang somewhat changing the way he pronounces certain words. I just nodded as I stared in awe. He sounded cool. And his eyes seemed like crystals.

"Headmaster, they suddenly barged in at the main entrance, completely destroying the door and are making haste towards your office. I might've heard one of them say something about the boy." Jonathan interrupted as he stepped forward, emphasizing 'the boy' yet the confusion in his tone was obvious.

"Hello, Jonathan. Did you see Chris?" Was what the headmaster replied but Jonathan didn't react.

"Yes." Jonathan replied sternly.

"So how is he?" The headmaster went on. So there really is something behind Chris and Jonathan. And Chris didn't hide that fact well earlier either, if they are hiding it.

"He seems fine. But I think we should prioritize the people coming this way, headmaster." Jonathan said. He wasn't that good at hiding his annoyance very well.

"Of course." The headmaster smiled then looked at Mrs. Renalli. "Alexa, where are they?" He walked towards Mrs. Renalli.

"They're already outside your office sir – " The door slammed open making me jump a bit. It was the woman I met at the infirmary.

"Bonnie." The headmaster greeted as he approached Blake's sister. "I'm glad you've decided to visit your alma mater! Are you sponsoring this year's reunion?" He said as he tried to hug Bonnie who shoved him away.

"Out of the way old man. I want that brat." She said under gritted teeth as she glared at me. Two of the eight men behind her approached me but the headmaster stopped in front of them.

"I'm sorry, Bonnie. But it's not yet dismissal and you're not the guardian of this boy so I don't see any reason for me to let him out." The headmaster's tone was serious. Damn it. Ever since I got here all I've encountered is trouble. "You do know Silvestris Academy prioritizes the safety and well-being of her students."

"Headmaster, I didn't want to do this." Bonnie said calmly as I hear her footsteps towards the headmaster. "Men. Get the boy." And then I was suddenly thrown behind the headmaster's desk. As soon as I recovered from the hit again on my back, I groaned just in time to taste a metallic liquid seeping from the edge off my lip. Blood. Ugh. Not again.

Somebody grabbed my arm and pulled me up. I looked up to see Jonathan. "Hurry. While the headmaster and Mrs. Renalli are holding them off." I stood up with his help, ignoring the pain it was causing me. I tried to took a glance at them but in an instant everything blurred and we were already outside. I felt my stomach churn as soon as my vision adjusted. "I'm sorry, should've told you to hold your breath but we don't have enough time. Hold on to me." Jonathan said as he placed my arm around his shoulders. "Now hold your breath – " I felt a pressure on my chest as I flew backwards. It was merely a second when I saw the door that separated the headmaster's office and the classrooms to reveal Evelyn's horrified expression.

I was in a daze and everything seemed to slow down, I heard a shattering noise.

"Heath!" Evelyn's voice rang in my ears as I finally realized what was happening. I'm falling. I could see the sky already turning orange as I tried to grab it as if I could to stop the fall. An image of my parents flashed through my mind as I fell. Happy memories flashed as if I was reliving my life. My life... I saw my friends. The people I've known since birth and the people I just met.

No. I don't want to die yet! No...

My heart seemed to stop as I felt deaf. I could barely feel anything but the wind indicating my fall and the tears rolling down my cheeks. And then I realized there's no way of saving me anymore. I have a lot of regrets. When Blake's image flashed I realized one of them. And that was not being able to feel what it would be like to be in a relationship with him. I smiled. It could've been fun.

The fall seemed to take too long to the point I've lost all hope and just waited for it to break. And it finally did.
