Rose Red

Chapter 7

Mack

I woke up to the sound of foot steps coming into my room. "Cole? Is that you?" Not sure if it was him or not. "Yeah. Scoot over." Confused I moved over and he got in my bed. "Just for tonight." He said. He hasn't done this since he was ten bit I didn't mind. "Okay." He cuddled next to me and I smiled. I guess he had a bad dream. "I'm sorry for the thing that I have done. I'll do better. I promise." He mumbled and fell asleep. "Alright." I smiled and fell asleep.

"Girl found was found dead and drained of her blood last night after a party she had went to. No word yet on what animal it was." I woke up after that. Damian shot and grabbed me. "Are you okay?" Damian asked still holding onto me. I nodded. "Yeah, just a bad dream that's all." D looked at me as if he was going to hit something. "What's wrong?" I asked. He smiled. "I know you thought the deaths were my doing. But they aren't. Blood bags. That's all I take. Just a little here and there to take the hunger away." He said. Fucking mind reading. "Why didn't you say something before?" I guess he has changed. "I was trying figure out everything too little brother." Damian sat down picking up the glass that he was drinking out of.

"Are you okay?" He asked. All I could do was nod. Why was I thinking about he dying. It put a whole in my heart."

"Yeah, I'm okay. I just wanna know what the he'll is going on." I looked at the book on my desk. Everything about her and her death can be found in there. Even the two Gilmore sons that she adored. The one's who never made it out "alive".

I just wanted answers and so did my brother by look on his face. "What are we going to do?" D asked. "Protect Mack at all cost."

"You're in love with her aren't you?" He asked. "What?" D looked at the picture on my desk and the one that Mack had taken before she left the party. "I've seen that look before brother. We both had it for along time. We held in the eyes of Karayan Rose Strong." He was right. I was in love with her. I'm in love with Mackinliegh Nicole Mason. And the sad thing was I knew he did too.

"What about you?" Was all I said.

Looking at the time I sighed. I had an hour to get class. At least it's Thursday. "One things for sure, you need to get to class." He said pushing me out the door handing me my bag and my jacket. Completely ignoring the question I asked. "You need to leave. We can talk about this later." I turned around getting in my car and driving off to the school. Maybe he was right.
