Chapter 21 - I hate myself for that

     Oh no, no, no.  

     “Or do you want me to come in?” He questioned, and I could hear his impatient tone. I don’t blame him though. I felt like a thief that got caught red-handed from stealing. How did he know I was inside? I was pretty sure I didn’t make a sound, or did I?

     “Fine, I’ll come in.” Ash said officially, and I hurry opened the closet door and scooted out of it before he really did come in. I was placed in front of a very impatient and unhappy Ash.

      Kill him now?     

     I silently snorted. Yeah right, like I could.

     Instead of asking me why in the world was I hiding in his closet, he just sighed and left me standing there rooted to the spot, while he just sat normally on his chair again and proceeded doing what he was doing just now. He was acting like I wasn’t there. He was just ignoring and avoiding me…

     What-?

     “Aren’t you going to ask me why I’m here?” I blurted out, and hurry clasped my annoying mouth.

     Smooth. Real smooth…

     He didn’t say anything and just kept ignoring me, which it wasn’t the response I wanted at all. When I wanted to open my mouth to speak again, Ash cut me off and said, “What if I know exactly why you’re here?”

     I gave him a doubtful and uneasy laugh. So he does know my plan? I got to say it was kind of obvious though, what else could I be here for? After everything that happened yesterday, I’m pretty sure he knew I was going to kill him sooner or later.

     I asked anyway, “And what is it?”

     Ash stopped reading from his book and glanced up at me. I literally stopped breathing for a few seconds when he did. “Just get it over with… will you?” He said with an annoyed sigh, running his finger through his hair.

     “I have no idea what you’re talking-” I acted dumb even though I knew what he was talking about.

     “Well too bad,” He closed the book with a loud thud, “because you know exactly what I’m talking about.” He then looked at me with those intense and scary eyes that would scare of a normal girl, but not me. He loves me – I knew he wouldn’t try to hurt me… right? Even so, I knew him. He’s not like this – scary and fierce, instead, he’s warm and vibrant. He had warm my heart inside and out without even realizing it. He’s just trying to scare me away.   

     “Just kill me now, Dawn. Get it over with why don’t you?”

     My body stiffened when he said that. What? Is his life not important to him now? Instead of following his orders, I asked, “How did you know I was a vampire hunter?”  

     After moments of silence, Ash shook his head and asked, “Remember the first time when our minds were linked-?” My mouth was wide open in shock. He knew it way before? I didn’t even know. After everything we have been through, he already knew I was a vampire hunter while I had no clue at all he knew. I didn’t even know he was a vampire at that time.

      He acted like I wasn’t even one of his enemies.

     “I didn’t mean to pry,” He began, “but it just opened up and after you were going to block it out, I have already seen it. I’m sorry-”
