Not What She Seems

Chapter Five

     Ralph and I danced the night away. The club had been playing our favorite songs over and over, we were having the time of our lives. I was having so much fun, but I wanted another drink. I quickly told Ralph I was going to the bar and would be back soon. I made my way through the crowded dance floor until I got to the lit up bar. I ordered myself a couple shots. I quickly took them down, smiling while the burning liqueur went down my throat. I felt a tap on my shoulder, I turned to see no one there. My face made a confused look before I was quickly grabbed and dragged outside. I felt a weird tingle on my wrist where my attacker was holding me. I knew it had to be a supernatural being, they moved faster than a normal human. I was rushed outside and pinned against a stone wall. I yelped and bit my lip in pain.

     "Why are you hanging out with him?" I hear a familiar voice ask angrily. I look to see Kyran, I'm confused.

     "What? What the hell are you talking about?" I ask him. I started to get angry myself. What's his problem?

     "That kid you were dancing with! The one you hang out with at school!" He yells, he bangs his hands on the wall again. I take a closer look at his face and watch as his eyes turn bright yellow. Werewolf. My breath caught in my throat. But I saw his fangs the other night. That means he has to be... a hybrid. My breathing gets faster and faster, I was panicking. Shit. Shit. SHIT! I try to coware against the wall.

     "Kyran.. calm down... please." I say softly, I tried not to show fear. "I dont know why you're so mad, but he's just my friend. I didn't do anything to him.." He keeps a stare on my face and his eyes are still bright yellow. "Please... you could turn any second." His angry glare stops as he realizes the situation. He looks up at me. He pushes off the wall, unpinning me.

     "Get away from me quick, I need to go." He states quickly before running into the near by woods. I was still panicking, but I tried to act calm. I quickly went back inside. I grabbed Ralph and threw him in the car. He was throwing questions at me, but I stayed silent until we got to my apartment.

     "What the hell, Eve?" He asks once the door was shut and locked. "I was having fun!" He yells. His questions and yelling was annoying, it was angering me. I huffed and turned on my heel, facing him. I walked towards him quickly and pushed him to the wall, I look right in his eyes.

     "You wont remember coming home this early. We stayed, danced, drank, and had fun. You got so drunk and just passed out in my car. Now go to the couch and sleep." I compell Ralph, I let go of him and watch as he walks to the couch with a blank face. He sits down then lays, immediately falling asleep. I sigh, hanging my head low. My mind drifted to Kyran. I looked at the time, 10:55. I walk to my room. I go into my bathroom and lean against the sink. My mind was filled with different thoughts, I thought I was going to explode. My mind came to a complete stop when I sensed someone in the room with me, I knew it couldn't be Ralph. I grabbed a pair of tweezers on my sink and held them tight in my hand. I turned to walk back in my room, I didn't see anyone but I knew there was someone. I walked around, checking around. I suddenly sensed them right behind me. I turned with amazing speed and stabbed the person right above their heart. It took me a second before I realized it was someone I didn't expect. Kyran. My mouth dropped open in fear, I backed away. "W-What are you d-doing here?" I ask him.  He groans as he pulled the tweezers out.

     "I needed to see you." His face was completely blank. He started walking towards me, but I backed away further. He growled and that only fueled my fear. I cowarded away, realization came across his face. It fell to sadness. "I won't hurt you.. I'd never hurt you..." He tells me. I was still scared, but I was more confused than anything.

     "What's wrong with you..?" I ask him, I backed into a wall and mentally cursed myself. He walked closer to me. "Get back... You should know what a werewolf bite does to a vampire..." I state to him. He looks sadder by the second.

     "Please.. Eve, I would never hurt you, please just let me hold you. You'll feel better in my arms..." He tries to persuade me, but I wouldn't fall for it.

     "Yeah, right.." I scoff "You're just trying to get me in your arms for you to kill me..." He looks almost broken from my words. He growls again and quickly grabs me, forcing me in his arms. I nearly scream, feeling my eyes water, knowing that he will shift and kill me.

     "Eve..." He whispered my name in my ear. I feel relief wash over my body. The tingles from easier had returned. My body left warm and.. alive. I used everything in my body to make sure I didn't snuggle into him. He held me for what felt like hours. I slowly felt myself getting drowsy. I yawned and he picked me up, pulling me to my bed. We lied down as I felt myself move even closer to him. It was only seconds after he pulled me close, that I fell asleep.

     I woke up the next morning, I stretched out and felt uncomfortable and cold. I looked down and saw I was still in my clothes from last night. I frowned as the memories came flooding my head. I head was going a mile a minute and I couldn't keep up. Why didn't he shift? Why was he acting like that? Why did he come back? Why? Why? Why? I don't understand anything.
