Blood Lagoon

CHAPTER THREE

Marina's POV

After a few moments, I had this feeling that I should stop. I felt that there's something wrong, so I pushed the guy away. "What's your problem?" I said before walking away. When I glanced back, I saw him looking at me, as if asking, 'what did I do?'.

Something isn't right. I can feel it. I'm in danger.

I quickly looked for Brianne. When I turned to a corner, I saw something that I'm pretty sure will give me nightmares. I saw a guy, sucking blood from a girl's neck. Luckily, he didn't notice me. I just quietly turned away and ran as far away as I could. Oh God.

Forget about getting a meal, I'm getting out of here before I become the meal.

Then as if the universe had played a joke on me, I got lost. My heavy steps filled the empty hallways. With sweat dripping down the side of my forehead, I raised my shaky hands and turned an unknown doorknob.

Luckily, that door led back to the room where the party is being held.

I quickly went to the spot where Brianne and her friends were. But I was shocked to see that Brianne wasn't there anymore, only her drunk friends. I asked one of her friends. "Hey, where's Brianne?"

"Oh, she went with that hot guy, Chase. They're going to wonderland." She drunkly said.

Without second thought, I raced towards the empty halls again, desperate to save my friend. I climbed a few stairs, took a few turns, and there I saw it. The same guy who kissed me, is pinning Brianne to the wall and kissing her neck, or I hope he was just kissing her.

News flash, that guy who kissed me is The Chase Sangue. And he is non other than a vampire.

I ran towards them and pushed Chase with all my strength which caused him to topple over. While he was on the ground, I took the opportunity to grab Brianne and lead her away from that vampire.

"Marina, you're a party pooper! Chase and I were having a moment there together and you ruined it." She said with her eyes half closed.

"Trust me Brianne, you're gonna thank me after this." I said. God, if I wasn't that quick, my best friend would've been sucked like an empty box of grape juice.

Brianne's friends were ready to leave the party when we got there, so I led Brianne to her friends and told them if they could take her home. Her friends are pretty rich (well, so is Brianne) so I guess that their guards will take care of them pretty well. And besides, a vampire wouldn't follow them that far and risk being exposed to the public. It is I who needs to be protected. I'm going home.

As I head for the lagoon, I could've sworn I heard someone walking behind me. My hearts immediately started beating fast and I constantly walked faster.

Finally, I reached the cave entrance, but someone was still behind me. I walked faster than before and somehow, I lost him. Phew.

Chase's POV

There's something about that girl, I just know it. From the very first time I saw her, I felt it. I thought I just wanted to fuck her, but she might be an enemy. She's not human, I'm sure of that. And what happened earlier just proved everything. Could it be? Is she a mermaid?

I was determined to know what she is, so I followed her. Oh shit, now I'm in a cave. And I have no idea where she is.

I stepped on something and I heard a crack. I looked down. Bones. I knew it. Now, where is that girl?

I kept on walking, and saw an opening of the lagoon. There's a dress beside the edge of the rock, just beside the water. The same dress that girl wore. Something moved. She's in the water. I couldn't see it clearly cause its dark and there are no lights, but I swear, there something in the water. I leaned in, hoping I could get a better look. But before I knew it, water splashed my face and I felt two hands gripping my neck and pinning me to the wall of the cave. I felt my fangs instantly appear because of the feeling of being threatened.

"Who are you and what do you want?!" A feminine but dangerous voice said.

I opened my eyes and saw it. The girl earlier stood before me, but with scales, bluish skin and deadly looking glares.

"Mermaid." I hissed and with one swift move, I shifted our position.

Now I was pinning her against the wall, with my hands gripping her wrist above her head.

A pity to this girl. She's pretty and has a banging body. But she is bad news. Mermaids are our enemies. If I was too careless, I would've been a dead meat by now.

But still, there's something about her. She's extraordinary. Not just like any mermaid I met. There's something  that draws me into her. Like a moth drawn to the fire. In the moth's eyes, the fire is beautiful, but its gonna be the cause of its death. That's it, I'm a moth and she's the flame of fire.

The mermaid transformed back to her human appearance, the scales and her bluish skin, slowly disappearing. Once again, she looked like the girl I kissed.

OK, I'm not gonna lie, she's fucking hot and I was attracted to her the first time I saw her. I was disappointed when she let go of the kiss. So I looked for someone else. Turns out, the new girl I picked is somehow related to her.

The girl (mermaid) looked at me in the eyes. "Go on. Kill me." She dared.

"Feisty and impatient. I like it." I chuckled, looking down at her naked body.

"Stop fooling around, pretty boy. Kill me." She demanded, then her voice turned soft and seducing. "Unless, your not man enough to do so." She whispered, leaning her head forward. We were so close that our lips nearly touched, and I felt her hot breath on my lips.

That's what mermaids do. They use their looks to seduce and kill their victims. But we, vampires, don't need to do such things. We can have our meal however we like it.

For a moment, I was about to give in. But luckily, I snapped back to reality and thought that I must not let this mermaid get what she wants. She's just a mermaid, for fuck's sake. And I am a vampire!

Well, I guess I'll just have to get the tables turned.

"Oh baby, I would love to kill you. But to be honest, you're hot. And it would be such a waste if I kill you now and never even know how good you can be in fucking." I smirked as I whisper back.

Her eyes widened in shock.

"What are you-" I cut her off, locking the space between us and kissing her on the lips.

And that's what you do when you want to fucking shut a mermaid up.
