Save Me

O N E

My long nails drummed against the window sill. I left out a long sigh as the voices in my head got louder. The image of a young boy getting clearer as I got closer.

The bus pulled to the stop and I jumped up. The man beside me stared as I walked off. I raised an eyebrow and looked down at my outfit. A girl scout. Works every time.

I adjusted the blade tucked in my waistband so it was hidden and started walking.

Jeremy Jacobs. He'd been selling poisoned blood to vampires. To vamps he was a hunter. To humans he was a drug dealer. To me, he was just another victim.

Ths door infront of me was surprisingly well-maintained. I was expecting a more run-down place rather than the mansion I was greeted with.

I knocked on the door and plastered a smile on my face. "Cookies!" I shouted in a sickly sweet voice.

Thundering footsteps could be heard inside and I grinned. Here they come.

The door swung open and I pounced. My hands were on his neck and I kicked the door shut as I jumped through. The boy beneath me stared with wide eyes as we landed.

I frowned. He looked different in my head. I leaned down and sniffed him. He was still staring.

"Who the hell are you?" I hissed.

"Ryan. Ryan Jacobs" he whimpered

I grinned. "Well Ryan. It seems like I need your help"

I pushed myself off him and brushed myself off. "You're not a girl scout are you?"

"No shit" I laughed. "So Ryan. Where's Jeremy?"

He didn't move from the floor. "Do you have cookies though?"

I stared at him. I just attacked him and he wants cookies? "Yeah. But they're fucking disgusting and about 2 years old"

He nodded. "Do you want cookies? I have some in the kitchen"

I glared at him. He must have only been about 16. His dark hair made his pale skin look paler and his dark eyes made him look a bit like a ghost. I crouched down and leaned in. "Listen here you little shit. I need to find Jeremy. And you're going to help me do that"

He nodded "But do you want cookies?"

I groaned "Fine. Give me a cookie"

He scrambled up and I ran my hand through my hair. A broken nail got snagged and I sighed. I pulled my hand away and bit it off just before Ryan came back in.

"I only have chocolate chip" He said and thrust a massive plate of cookies in my direction.

I stared at it "If you have so many cookies, why did you want to buy them off me" I grabbed a cookie and bit into it. "Where did you get these?"

"I like girl scout cookies. And I made them" he shrugged.

I stared at him and then at the cookie. "Jeremy can wait. You are going to make more of these and then we can leave"

He grinned. "Fine by me"

****

I sat on the countertop and stared at him. There was flour all over the kitchen and all over him. Chocolate chips were on the floor and batter was somehow on the curtains.

"What's your name?" He asked me.

I shook my head "Haven't used one in years"

"Well what do people call you?" He frowned.

I raised an eyebrow and smirked "What ever they want their last words to be"

He smiled at me "So you kill people?"

I glared "What are you?"

"Ryan" he frowned. "I'm human incase your wondering. And before you ask, I'm not bothered by killing as I have vampires that sit in my living room almost daily"

I frowned "So Ryan. Seems like we'll be spending a bit of time together, so let's get the rules straight. You will make cookies because that is what you are good at and I will get on with what I am doing. If you get in my way, I will kill you. If you annoy me, I will kill you. If you double cross me, I will make your life hell before I drag you there myself. Got it?"'

"Yes, mam" he chuckled. "I'm going to call you Daisy"

I scowled "Call me that and I'll cut out your tongue"

He groaned "Fine. What about Poppy"

"Nope"

"Rose"

"What is it with you and flowers?"

"Red"

"No''

"Violet"

"And we're back to the flowers"

He sighed "What about.... Dani"

I stopped. "That's not bad but no"

He slammed the oven shut "From now on I'm calling you Trouble and that's it"

"Fine by me" I smirked.

"So Trouble. How old are you?" Ryan asked.

"16" I smiled "If you don't count the years I spent in hell"

"You're a demon?" He asked.

I made my eyes turn black and felt my nails grow pointed and my teeth grow sharp. I reverted back to normal and smiled at him. "Yeah"

"That's terrifying but equally hot" he smirked.

"You're a confident little shit aren't you" I laughed.

He chuckled "Jeremy will be hiding out but he wouldn't miss school. Ever"

I raised an eyebrow "I didn't think he'd be the studious type"

Ryan laughed "He's not. But he does love to stare at Veronica"

"What's the point of this then?" I asked.

He smirked "I think he needs something else to stare at"

I glared at him. "Really?"

"Get him close and kill him" Ryan shrugged.

I smiled "He's your brother but you're condeming him to hell. Why?"

"He's a dick. Took everything I had. Stole my girlfriend" Ryan's face changed. It morphed into one of anger.

"Let's hope he does it again then" I grinned.
