RULERS OF THE UNDEAD (sequel to SLAYERS OF THE UNDEAD)

Chapter 11

I could hear heart beats as they rhythmically thumped under ribcages.

I could hear blood flowing through people's veins I could even hear my own.

I could see the little tiny specks of dust thirty feet away from me.

My senses were on overload and it was driving me crazy.

I could now see perfectly in the dark.

Xavier had explained that this was normal but I still wasn't used to it.

It's been three days since Lexi woke up. We had talked about our visions while we had been unconscious. Excluding the minor detail of my death. There were moments I wanted wanted to tell them about me dying but I couldn't bring myself to. Besides uncle John is more important than anything, finding him and ending him would mean the world wouldn't be going to shit because of him. So I at least have time to make sure that the world be rid of a psychotic person named John.

I just layed there away in bed it was three in the morning and ever since the change i've only needed about three hours of sleep and I was good for two days.

Xavier keeps nagging me about adding some blood to my diet and so has Lexi and Jace. I'm too hard headed to listen though. They say that i'll go on a killing rampage if I don't but I want to put off drinking blood for a while. I won't lie blood has been smelling so good lately I caught myself starring at Lexis's neck even Jace, his blood still flows through his body and his heartbeat is almost nonexistent but it's still there.

My canines extend and I run my tongue against them feeling the sharpness of my bad boys.

Two more months and than it'll be Lexis's and my seventeenth birthday, just three more years after that until I die. I wonder how i'll die, will I just all of a sudden collapse on the floor or will someone be sent to kill me. Yeah, maybe i'll just stop breathing.

'It was unexpected,' they'll say. 'Maybe she was fooling around with the dark spirit.' They can say whatever they want. I won't be around to care anyways. They can say I was a slut for all I fucking care. At least Xavier will be their for Lexi when i'm gone. Maybe Jace and Eric will each find someone else to love and replace me.

Speaking of Eric he's been trying to break down the wall i've built in my mind to keep him out. Since the change i've become more powerful so I thinks thats one of the reasons i've been able to keep him out for soo long. He also somehow got my phone number and won't stop sending me text messages at randomness. Everyday though for some reason he calls my phone at eight in the afternoon. He knows I won't pick up, or text back but I don't know why he does it. He's never late, always on time. I sometimes want to pick up but what would I say.

Jace doesn't know though. I've been sleeping by myself. Jace doesn't sleep in the same bed with me. I asked him, I could feel the hurt he felt when I told him that I wanted to have my own room. He pretended to be perfectly fine with it on the outside but I knew he wasn't. I need to put distance between us so it'll be easier when i'm gone. That's one of the reasons that I don't sleep in the same bed with him anymore.

I've been doing some late night investigations on my own. I don't want anyone knowing about it. They don't need to worry and besides I know how to take care of myself.

My canines retract back in. I pull the covers off of me and quietly go into my suit case, I grab some clothes and change.

I pull on a white tee shirt, black skinny jeans, black leather boots and a black leather jacket. I hide two daggers in my boots and I hide a gun on the side of my hip. I grab my wallet and my keys. Before I leave I grab my black shades and brush my hair a bit leaving it down.
