Heart of Ice (On Hold)

Agony of emotions

2 centuries later-

I ripped my lunch's his throat out in annoyance. To my left I heard a muffled sigh of pleasure. "Keep her quiet will you?" I snapped in annoyance. All a girl wants is to drain someone dry in peace. Is that so much to ask?

Stephan dropped the girl with a sigh, "Ankasha, what's with you today? I've know you for almost 2 centuries now, you can't hide from me." Stephan had been my only friend when I was going through my transformation. He has bright yellow eyes and a kind face. All of our eyes were an abnormal color, like mine were a dark purple.

"Something's wrong," I said softly. "I feel like someone's following us."

"Nobody is following us, I would notice. I AM a century older than you." he said smugly.

I shoved him playfully, "Don't rub it in." I grinned, instinctively falling into our old roles. He was created a century before me and has never ceased to tease me. "You know, you're right. I'm just a little paranoid today." I said.

"Why?" he asked looking innocently curious.

I flinched like I'd been tazered and reluctantly admired,"It's...my birthday," I muttered in a strained voice.

"Hey congrats," he exclaimed, " why are we here we should be preparing for a hunt!"

"No!" I exclaimed immediately, "its not my Существо ночи birthday, it's my human birthday." a Существо ночи's birthday is the day they were transformed into an immortal. We celebrate it by having a large hunt for exotic humans.

"Well either way, we're having a hunt. We need to get you outta this funk." he said, clearly not fazed. I heard him telepathically call for the gang.

Yo guys, get over here. Did you know in was lil Anne's birthday!?

We can communicate mentally as long as we remember each other.

" Hey hey hey, where's the birthday girl!" I heard Jack holler. Jack is the MOST eccentric of the gang. That's saying a lot. He has sharp features, hard red eyes, and a protective nature for me, like an older brother.

The worst part of being in a Существо ночи gang is that you never get any damn privacy! Only way to get rid of them was to forget them, and I could never forget these guys. They're my only family.

Not my only family, said a taunting voice in my head.

Zack.

The brother that hates me.

I felt the walk I built between me emotions and me crack. With a grunt of pain I doubled over, clutching my stomach. A trickle of blood seeped out of my mouth. Dimly I heard Stephan shout in alarm. Sierra warned me this would happen, I thought dimly. She told me if I blocked my emotions too long, it would cause physical pain when I released them. I dropped to my knees in agony.
