chapter two
Two hours later, I was sitting in the one place no one would ever look for me: the mall. Watching the people step around me and glare at me as they walked by hastily. I mumbled something about impatient people and stood up, only causing more trouble as I tangled myself up with a guy as we tumbled down the stairs. Profanities flew out of both our mouths as I landed on top of him. I immediately started trying to apologize but he, nicely I may add, reminded me of my position. I looked down and realized I waS straddling him.
"Ah fuck. I'm sorry. My name's Meg, by the way." I got off of him and offered him a hand as I
continued to stutter out half-formed apologies. He put a finger on my lips and I stiffened at his scent. Vampire. Oh hell no. The only vampire I'll ever be caught apologizing to is Haden. Other than that, fuck that. I'd rather cut the small talk and rip a bitch's throat out. Especially after what happened today.
I batted my eyelashes at him and lead him out to my car, whispering. "Come on, sweetheart. We need to talk." My tone suggested more than talking and he suddenly caught my drift as the breeze shifted in his direction, blowing my scent towards him. A hiss escaped his bared teeth and I chuckled. They never learn, do they? I thought darkly as took his face in my hands, and caressed his cheek softly before snapping his neck effortlessly.
I heard several shocked gasps behind me and turned to see it was only Rhiannon, Colby, and Haden. I shrugged my shoulders at there horrified glares and gaping mouths, "It was collateral damage. Maybe if Colby didn't call me a bitch and push me away, this poor, soulless creature wouldn't be dead."
Haden's eyes were locked on the body in front of me. "Do you know who that was, Meg???" I opened my mouth to speak but was cutoff by his dry, tearless sobs. "That was my creator, my coven leader, and my best friend! And now that he's d-d-dead, I'm in charge of a coven! I'm not fucking ready, Meg!"
I took a deep breath and threw my arms around his shaking frame uncaringly. He froze but after a moment, he melted into my embrace. I murmured in his ear fiercely, "It's okay, Hay. Can't you pass it on to someone else?" His breath hitched in his throat at the use of his childhood nickname.
He pulled away and his green eyes were lifeless as he said, "No. There's no backing out of this. Alive, at least." I watched as black twisted marks slithered their way onto his skin, creating tribal tattoos. I recognized the crest of his coven on his muscular arm. I reached out to touch it but he shook his head, "Bye. I gotta go tell everybody." He took my face in his hands and kissed my forehead affectionately.
I stood there shocked as he left, not caring about the glares I waS receiving from my friends. I waS supposed to choose Haden, not Colby. "Damn it!" I screamed and ran I'm the opposite dierction of him, tossing Rhiannon my keys. "Get it home safely. Leave a scratch on it and... you won't be around to hear me finish this sentence." What? I'm protective over my bab-I mean car...
. . . .
