War Has Exploded [II]

           

Peter grinned as our gazes met, he got near me and the scent of his blood was so strong, so mouthwatering that I felt an aching pain in my mouth as my fangs started to come out, I bit the insides of my cheeks until I tasted the copper flavor of my blood in my mouth.

Peter was working for the Headmistress; he was the one that was supposed to get rid of me.

"Are you alright Alice? You suddenly got tense and pale." Peter said as he got near me.

I took a few steps away from Peter instinctively.

"Stay away from me Peter." I told him in a warning voice.

Peter laughed at my reaction.

"Relax Alice, I know I'm not exactly your favorite person in the world as well as I'm sure that for a long time you weren't mine as well; I couldn't even stand to be in the same room as you but that's the past and right now I have to talk to you about something very important but it has to be in private so can you-?" Peter said as he trailed off.

"How did you cut your face?" I said interrupting him.

Peter touched his cheek, he looked at his fingers and as he saw the blood he smiled as if it was the most amusing thing ever.

"Oh, right that, you see this clueless Spanish hunter passed by and somehow he cut me across the cheek at first I thought it was an accident but now I understand why he could have done it but don't worry about it, it's nothing." Peter said in a calm voice.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest and glared at him.

"Why don't I believe you? Why do I feel like every single word you just said is an utter lie?" I told him.

"That's honestly your problem Alice, but that doesn't matter now. We have to speak in private." Peter said as he grabbed my hand.

He was finding a way to withdraw me out of here, to get me in private so he could kill me. Peter was determined on killing me.

"No let me go Peter, I'm not going with you!" I said as I tried to free myself.

Someone behind me placed their hands on my waist pulling me closer to them and away from Peter.

"You heard her Salt, stay away from her Peter." A voice said behind me.

I tensed up as I felt his breathing against my neck.

"Don't make me repeat it Peter." The voice said as his body got closer to me.

Peter looked at me before he gave a sight.

"Alright, but one way or another I will talk to you Alice." Peter said as he met my gaze before he left.

I watched Peter vanish between the mass of suits and dresses of the ballroom; he seemed awfully angry but at the same time worried, had the Headmistress threatened him to get him to do this?

"Alright Peter left already, now you can let go of my waist Antonio." I said as I looked at the people that were dancing nearby, I was pretending to not be aware of Antonio's presence or of his hands that were tightly on my waist pulling my back against his chest.

"What did you say? I didn't quite hear you." Antonio said near my ear.

I abruptly pulled away from him and turned around in a swift as Antonio tried to grab me again.

"Get your hands off me Antonio!" I said as I looked at him, he was in a suit completely in black and he had a black mask that covered most of his face but I would never mistake his voice or his deep blue eyes that stared at me through his black mask.
