Half Blood

Chapter 11: Goodbyes

I slammed the front door behind me and ran to my car, I was expecting the car not to get going for a few minuets but as I tried to start the engines the car broke down. Once I tried for the fourth time to start the car I stopped trying and layed my head on the weel. I wanted to cry but what would be the point. There were so many thing I wanted to say to Randy to explain all of our friends deaths, there were so many thing I wanted to say to Sarah about our relationship and finally there were too man thing I wanted to tell my mom and dad...but I had to keep it to myself. Everything I knew I had to keep a secret, I missed my old life were I was normal, had friends and was not caught up in the life of a vampire. Nothing was how I wanted it to be. 

After a moment of sadness, I lifted up my head and looked ahead with my tear filled eyes. I thought to myself about just driving away and never coming back. I also thought about how it would effect everyone around me. And I could understand why my mom and dad would think I'm crazy but they had no idea...not one. Every night I wold just think about how I could go to there room and tell them everything but would they believe me? Would they think I'm crazy? Or would they tell the police? I found it crazy how I couldn't even tell my parents about the biggest thing in my life. 

I got out of the car slowly and walked down the street, passing several houses before arriving to Josh's house. I turned to it and stared at it. I wondered where he was and what Lily had done to him. Why did she want him? So many unanswered questions I needed to know. Before I got to question myself any longer I felt a gush of wind sleep passed me. I looked to my side to see Sarah on my side. Her face was frozen in sadness, her eyes were the darkest of red I had ever seen them and her lips were a light red, I wondered if the red was blood from her hunting. She didn't speak at all, just staring at the house. I noticed a change of clothing, she no longer wore a long brown coat, her hair was up and her top was no longer long sleeved. When I looked at her for a moment I recognised her hair was lighter, dark brown hair to light brown with some blond hairs. I wondered why her clothes were different and her hair was dyed. But as always she looked amazing.

"I'm sorry I didn't call..." Sarah muttered

"It's fine" I lied

"We need to talk..." She said

"I know" I answered

She grabbed my hand tightly and ran to walk. After a moment of following she started to walk faster and faster and faster before she started to run and as I held her hand I felt myself going at the same speed as her. The speed was almost unbearable, I felt myself feeling sick and wanting to stop. We flashed passed people without them even knowing, all they must have thought of it as a gush of wind, just as I thought. We finally stopped in front of the old warehouse on the the pier. Two rover cars waiting outside the warehouse, Drake in one and Faye in the other. We both looked over to the cars until Sarah turned to me.

"Lets go" Sarah said

"W-...What?" I stutted 

"Lily is going to be here in a few days, so we need to move" 

"No! We're not going!"

"Jake! Are you coming or not?!"

"Urm...Sarah I-...I"

"Jake...goodbye..."

She tuned away and started to walk.

"Please! Sarah! Don't go!"

"Jake if I stay here Lily will kill me! I csn't stay on my own...I won't survive...and you know I won't"

"They won't, I'll keep you safe...I promise"

"I'm sorry"

She disappeared just like that. I had nothing. No one. I may as well be dead without Sarah. How was I meant to cope without the one I love more than life it's self. I turned around to watch the two cars drive away, the last strand of happiness left...forever
