It’s cold, dark and wet. My bare back is pressed against a cold, wet stone. A handsome man stand before me, gazing at me intensely, he grins crookedly and takes a step closer to me. Reaching out his hands towards my breasts, I gasp when his hands touch them. He starts caressing them, his mouth closes in and he plants a soft kiss on the base of my neck. I hear his sharp intake of breath, my heart beats franticly, I’m terrified, I try to get away from him, hitting him with all my strength, but he doesn’t even flinch. He chuckles and grabs both of my hands in one of his and pulls them over my head and grins wickedly.
“Sshh, behave, like a good girl now,” he whispers in my ear.
I glare at him, trying to fight him again. He sighs and grabs my chin with his free hand. He pulls my mouth to his and kisses me deeply, his tongue invading my mouth, massaging my own tongue. He’s too persistent, I can’t fight him. I give in to the sensation and allow his touch.
“Good girl,” he murmurs against my lips. Our eyes meet briefly, his eyes are as black as the night, his black hair is ruffled and wet, His is bang is touching my forehead, tickling me. I lower my eyes and start crying silently. He kisses me softly on the lips and smiles a smile that doesn’t reach his eyes.
“It won’t hurt, after a few seconds you won’t feel a thing,” he says. He pulls back and opens his mouth, reviling his sharp fangs, I gasp and he lowers his head, kissing me softly on the neck. He inhales deeply and slowly sinks his teeth into a vein. I feel his tongue licking and sucking, making me feel weaker and weaker for every second. He releases my hands and wraps his arms around me tightly, my arms fall nimbly and I feel my conscious is slipping away. I’m dying!
I woke up screaming, feeling my heart beating franticly; I looked around the room breathing heavily. Everything looked normal; it was just a bad dream. I sighed and glanced towards the other bed in the room. Erik seemed to still be sleeping. I took a deep breath and got out of the bed. I silently went to the bathroom, closing the door carefully I turned the lights on. I went straight into the shower. The warm water felt good against my skin. I washed myself quickly; feeling like the water washed away the bad dream. I wrapped a towel around myself when I was done. I got out of the shower and went to the sink; I looked up and saw myself in the mirror. My ice-blue eyes seemed bigger than usual; I looked like a deer caught in the headlights. My long blond hair was dripping wet; it was darker now when it was wet. Usually it was almost white. I was just about to put some toothpaste on my toothbrush when I heard a deep voice behind me.
“Did you have that nightmare again?”
I jumped and spun around. Erik was standing in the door, leaning against the wall in only trousers. Erik was handsome; any girl/woman would say that. His hair was so white it almost looked like silver. His eyes were the same color as mine, icy blue. He was well built and tall, we were not related, people always assumed that because of our hair and eye color.
“You could knock…you scared me!” I muttered, wrapping the towel tighter around me.
“You didn’t answer my question,” he said, crossing his arms.
“Yeah”
“Yeah, what, Erika?”
“Yes, I had that stupid dream again. You know I hate talking about it,” I murmured.
Erik sighed and walked over to me; he ruffled my hair and smiled briefly. Then he walked over to the shower and got in. I turned back to the mirror. Erik and I were adopted by a man named Alistar Valentin; I was adopted when I was seven years old. Alistar was a good friend of my father and when my parents were murdered, Alistar took me in. Soon after I had started to live together with him, Erik were found abandon outside our house and Alistar took him in as well when he found out Erik’s parents were killed as well.
The murderers were not human, vampires existed in this world, apparently both mine and Erik’s parents were famous vampire hunters, the vampires saw them as a threat and killed them without remorse. Alistar who was tired of the constant bloodbath decided two years ago that he would open up a school for vampires and humans, so that they learned to co-exist. So far Alistar, Erik and I were the only humans in Midnight Academy, as it were called, but the school was now full of vampires. Erik and I attended to the night classes and were patrolling, keeping an eye on the vampires, the rest of the night. Since the vampires were weak against sunlight the classes were held in the night, making sure we could keep an eye on them all the time, Alistar had built a big, luxurious dorm for them as well. Because he couldn’t trust the vampires, Erik and I had to share a room, in a different building. The room was spacious; we had our own big beds, an enormous walk-in closet, a nice bathroom and even our own kitchen.
I sighed and was just about to put my toothbrush back into my mouth when something landed on my head. Irritated, I grabbed the thing and saw that it was a pair of trousers and threw them angrily on the ground.
“Jerk,” I muttered and threw them back, making a perfect throw so they landed in the shower, making them wet. I giggled and ran out from the bathroom; I was in the doorway when a pair of strong hands grabbed me. Erik wrapped his long arms around me and with no effort, lifted me up and carried me to the shower. I started to fight him, struggling to free myself since I could guess his intentions. Forgetting that I only had a towel around me I fought him with all my might.
“Let me go!” I whined when we reached the shower.
“Not in a million years,” he murmured in my ear and threw me into the shower. I screamed when the water touched my skin, it was freezing! That jerk had switched off the warm water. Hurriedly I got out of the shower, Erik was standing in the doorway smirking. Full of rage and a small feeling of injustice, I stripped of my wet towel and threw it at him, hitting him in the face. I walked briskly past him and to the walk-in closet, dressing myself quickly with the school uniform. It was a black uniform, with a short skirt that had a dark blue lining at the edges and a jacket with blue lining around the pockets and the neck. Under the jacket you had either a white or a light blue shirt, the girls had a bow and the boys had a necktie, the bow/necktie was dark blue. You also had a pair of knee socks; the boys had, of course, trousers.
I sighed when I had only the knee socks left to put on, I groaned, they weren’t here! Where had I put them?
“Erik, have you seen my socks?” I asked, still looking around in the closet.
“Here,” he murmured in my ear. I jumped, startled since I had not heard him enter the closet. I reached out my hand and was just about to grab them when he drew his hand away. He was standing in just his trousers again; I blushed slightly when I saw his toned stomach.
“Give me them,” I murmured, avoiding his eyes.
“Are you blushing? Look me in the eyes and I might give them to you,” he smiled.
“I’m not blushing!” I said and looked him right in the eyes, though I was still blushing, but I was too proud to admit that. Just when I was about to open my mouth again to tell him how much of a jerk he was, he put his lips on mine and kissed me briefly.
“Get yourself dressed quickly, it’s gonna, be a long night,” he murmured and left the closet. Dumbfounded I watched him leave; shocked, I touched my lips and felt my heart beating quickly. Oh dear…
