The E.A. Barket Short Stories

Bleeding Heart

A/n: still unedited, and a little fast forward, but I had a fun time writing it, so I hope you enjoy it.

His kisses started out slow and sensual. He placing kisses down my jaw to my shoulder. Then he made a small bite on my shoulder, and I giggled. He kept nipping at my neck, a little harder this time
"You're so intoxicating." He whispered against my neck.
I gasped, I couldn't speak. I closed my eyes, as he moved his kisses down my shoulder and back up. Before I knew it he was back at the nape of my neck, and he now had me pinned against the wall. His bites got a little harder, and there was this sharp pain, like my skin split open.
He lifted his head and gave me a dangerous smile. I felt something warm run slowly down my neck. I started to lift my hand to it, but he stopped me and his smile got wider. My eyes zeroed in on his pearly white teeth to see two pointy, like knief, teeth.
My breathing got harder, and I felt a hot tear slide down my cheek.
"Shhh...It's ok, Veronica." His head leaned down to my neck again and he licked up the blood that was dripping down my neck.
My breathing got harder and I let out a piercing scream, as I realized that this is probably the end.

I bolt upright in bed, my forehead covered in sweat. I move my hand to my neck involuntarily, and I let out a sigh of relief. I look out the window to find a few rays of sunlight bleeding through my window. I throw my covers off of me and walk into my bathroom. I grab my toothbrush and slowly start to brush my teeth and comb out my knotted brown hair. Once I was done I walked like a snail into my bedroom and got out my floral blouse and netting stockings and mini ripped up blue jeans. I paired it up with my black sneakers and a tattooed wire choker, I painted my eye lids black and I added a little lip gloss. I grabbed my book bag and made my way downstairs. My mom was in the kitchen making pancakes for my brother and a bowl of cereal and a piece of toast for me. I scarfed my breakfast down in silence. I brought my dishes to the sink once I was done. I kissed my mom on the cheek and ran out the door, with my mom shouting out to me, "Have a good day!"
My best friend, Alex, was waiting in his brand new car, to give me a ride to school.
Once I got in the passenger seat, well actually before I could sit down he started to back out of the driveway.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what has you in such a hurry?" As I manage to grab the door and shut it. Well at least we're only going like a half mile per a minute still.
"I have a student council meeting and my boyfriend wanted to go get breakfast with me this morning." He complained. Did I forget to mention that Alex is very much gay? Which is so cruel, because he is so hot. But we've been besties since I punched a bully in second grade for him. His parents don't exactly know about his liking to guys, so I get the honor of playing his girlfriend for his parents which both makes us cringe, but we always laugh about it later. Alex's pulls into the nearest parking lot and, I'm not kidding, makes like the roadrunner and bolts out of the car with his backpack.
"You have a nice day at school, see you third period." I mock him,"thank you, alex you too."
I roll my eyes and grab my bag and sling my bag over my shoulder and I dig out my wallet and dig through it for four quarters. Yes! I can get a cup of coffee! Doing the happy dance in my head, I put my wallet back, put the quarters in my pocket and shut the car door. As soon as started to walk across the parking lot, a slick black mercedes benz sped up and I jumped back against Alex's car. I put my hand over my racing heart beat and cursed under my breath. As soon as the car turned the corner, I stood up and looked both ways before I tried to cross again. In all three years I've been going to this school, I've never been ran over or almost been ran over. I successfully make it to the sidewalk before I get knocked over by another thing. I hit my head on the sidewalk and I look up to see what I knocked into and sure enough there's a...giant? The sun is so bright, It's blaring over the humanly figure, I can't make out the face.
"Are you ok?" It reaches its hand out to me. I can tell it is male. I take the hand and he helps me up. "Are you ok?" He asks again.
"Yeah, I'm ok, my name is Veronica." I say giving him a warm smile.
He returns the smile and answers, "My name is Xavier."
I stared into his chocolate brown eyes, getting lost for a second, but I caught myself. "Uh...yeah, It was nice meeting you, Xavier." I smiled once more and turned to get around him, but he grabbed my arm suddenly and pulled me to him. I gasped, but didn't try to pull free.
He leaned his head down and whispered in my ear, "are you sure you're ok?" He then placed a kiss to my neck. I let out a small moan as he bit my neck softly.
But our fun was interrupted by a deep voice, "Get a room you two," He chuckled.
Xavier backed away from me and gave me a chance to look around, and the garden in front of the school was completely empty. The dark stranger grabbed my hand and kissed it, and my head turned towards him. I shivered slightly because a cold gust of wind blew down my back.
"My name is Damien." He said with a smirk, He had dark black hair and greyish blueish eyes.
"Thats enough brother." Xavier growled under his breath. Damien look up at Xavier and narrowed his eyes at him. I have to put an end to this.
"Um, so, do need help getting to the office or...?" I offered
"No thank you, but I'll see you around." Damien said turning to me and giving me a slight wink. I blink for a minute and both of the boys are gone. I stand there with a dumbfounded look on. The warning bell is what snapped me out of it. The only question running through my mind, is what the hell just happened?

A few hours later, the lunch bell rings and me and Alex walk out from our third period class together. We go to his locker first than mine. I haven't seen Xavier or Demien all day, so I'm starting to think my mind made it up. I swear I'm going crazy.
"Hello, earth to Veronica," Alex waved his hand in front of my face and slammed his locker door.
"Yes?"
"Did you hear that All Time Low is coming to town?"
"Really?"
"Yeah and I got tickets!"
"What! Oh my God you gotta take me with you!"
"You don't even listen to All Time Low!"
"I so do, you don't even know what I listen too!"
"Fine, I'll talk to Dominic."
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"Yeah, yeah, whatever, Chica." He said as he pulled me into a hug.
When I pull out of his embrace, I see him staring straight ahead. I turned my head to see what he was staring at, and sure enough, Xavier was leaning against a locker watching us.
Alex turns to me and smirks, "He's kinda hot."
"But you have a boyfriend already."
"I know, doesn't mean I can't look at other guys," he turns back to me and winks.
"I'll meet you at the table, alright?" I said
"Yeah, see you there." He winked at me one more time.
I turn to face Xavier again just in time to see him go down a dark hallway. I think this hallway leads into a teachers lounge, but I'm not sure. Something in me, compels me to follow him.
I turn the same corner as him, just to see him round another corner. I go to the end hallway and see him talking to another person. I freeze and hide amongst the shadows so I can hear them talk.
"Well, you found her, now what? Cause I know what I would do, but you always seem to mess it up. Make her immortal. Cause I don't want--"
"I get it, Demien, but I can't do that to her."
Immortal? Make who immortal?
"Oh come on! It's so easy! You just have to puncture her soft white skin and let her bleed, then you feed her your blood."
"I know how to turn someone! I'm not a baby anymore, Demien!"
"Then you turn her or I kill her, got it?"
I let out a shocked gasp, probably a little too loudly.
"Did you hear that?" someone whispered.
I freeze and hold my breath. I hear light footsteps coming towards the end of the hall, and I start to walk towards the open door at the other end of the hallway, my footsteps light but fast. Once I'm able to round the corner, I start running, and soon enough I'm able to blend into the crowd, because the the bell that signals the end of lunch, rings seconds later. I run all the way to my locker, and grab my 4-6 period things and run to math class.
