The King, The Enemy, and the Wars[Sequel to The Slayer]

Chapter 25

"No," I replied still deep in thought.

                I eyed the guy out of the corner of my eye, and he was about 5' 10" and had dark brown hair that was cut nicely and wore square'ish glasses that flattered his face. He seemed to be at least twenty and seemed somewhat distressed. Seemed like today wasn’t a good day for anyone.

"I am sorry, but I couldn’t help but see that you are upset," the young man said turning toward me.

"Oh, no not really, just thinking," I replied.

"My name is Bruce; I am a teaching assistant at Fairfield University, what is your name?"

"I'm Violet," I replied wondering why he was talking to me.

                He didn’t say anything else for a little bit, but something seemed to make him wary for he seemed tense. I shrugged it off and went back into my thoughts on how Luke and I went wrong. Bruce relaxed and seemed to be deep in thought too. I went to go throw my ice cream away when I noticed a man in a trench coat walk over and sit near Bruce. His hands were in his pockets and he was sweating. I walked back over as the man stood up and held out a gun that was pointed at Bruce.

"Don't move or I'll shoot," the man said as he held the gun to Bruce's head.

                I stayed where I was and the man grabbed Bruce and made him walk toward me. I can fight vampires, so I can probably fight a human. I came up with a plan instantly. As the criminal walked past me I grabbed his gun and pointed it down while I punched him in the face as he stumbled backwards, I grabbed the taser, and tased him and took the gun from him and put it out of his reach as he laid there. Bruce was shocked and relieved and the police were already on their way, I could hear the sirens.

"I owe you my life Violet, is there anything I can do to repay you?" Bruce asked as he stared at the unconscious criminal.

"Not that I can think of," I said as police got out of their cars and asked us what happened.

                The guy was arrested as the police finished questioning us. Bruce sat down from the shock and I sat with him.

"Why don't you seem shocked? How are you this calm?" He asked in disbelief.

"I guess it hasn’t hit me yet, I don't know," I replied.

"I owe you my life," Bruce said as he stared at me.

"Really it's no big deal," I said trying to shrug it off.

"Violet, please, I need to repay you in some way, maybe you and your family can come to my house for dinner? Or I can treat you and your family to dinner."

"Violet? Violet! Are you okay?" I heard someone call, I turned to find Jason running towards me.

"I am fine, how did you find me?"

"Well, after that time you left to Florida and I didn’t know where you were I put a tracer in your phone," Jason explained.

"Jason…howling? Woah," Bruce said as he recovered from shock.

"Hello, yes, Jason Howling," Jason said as he shook Bruce's hand.

"I am Bruce, and Violet here saved my life, and I was just telling her that she and her family should come over to my house for dinner to repay her," Bruce explained.

"That sounds lovely, thank you," Jason said.

"Here is my number, call me sometime tomorrow to let me know when you guys are free," Bruce said before the police wanted to talk to him one more time.

                Jason took me home and questioned me until he was satisfied that he knew everything.

"I am just so glad you are safe, what were you thinking? Never mind, you weren't thinking! What got into you?" Jason questioned.

"I don't know, I am sorry…" I replied hanging my head.

"Just go up to your room," Jason demanded.

                In the morning I got to school and everyone was asking what happened, but I ignored them all since I was late. Rushing to class I pushed people out of the way, and Trace said hi, so I turned for a moment to say hi and completely ran into Luke, both of us falling to the floor.

"Sorry, wasn't looking where I was going," I said as I grabbed my things and jumped over him, racing up the stairs.

                When lunch came around there was ice between Luke and I. If he wanted things to be over he should just say so, but since he doesn't have the courage maybe I should end it. Luke was sitting with Silvia and caught me looking at him and he turned away. I got up and walked over.

"Luke, we need to talk," I said.
