"why did you take my car?" I asked Peter, kind of disappointed. he sighed and looked over at me "Stella I'm not stupid, I knew you and roman were together that night, so did Letha. we took the car so you would have to stay there, I knew roman wouldn't let you leave." he said looking over at me with a sympathetic look.
"you mean you knew, and you still made me go to that stupid fucking party" I spit at him feeling overwhelmed, probably not because of roman but more so because of the savage wolf that almost ate me.
"stella, he is drowning in his own mind and you can't see that, he obviously has feelings for you and whatever happened needs to be fixed" Peter replied sternly trying to sway my opinion.
"Peter, I don't love roman, I don't wan't to fix things. I liked it better when we hated each other" I mumbled unconfidently. Peter arched an eyebrow at me "stella, I just told you he is drowning in his own mind, you can't blame him for dragging someone down with him. whatever he did probably wasn't his fault" he said sadly.
"he didn't do anything" I state looking towards Peter "well, whats the problem then?!" he asked confused "he likes me, thats the problem. and I don't want to let him down. It's my skill, fucking up peoples lives Peter, can't you see that?!" I emphasise. "I'm so sick of this" he spat turning and looking back at me "you have me now, stop acting like nobody needs you ok!?" he shouts. I feel taken back by Peter sudden snap. I squinted my eyes at him ad felt my teeth grind together "ok" I force out of my mouth "good, cause its cold and I want to be in bed right now" he adds pulling me beside him so we could warm up "well if you didn't-" I begin "I swear to fuck Stella" he interrupts "fine, ok" I say in defeat.
I hear him chuckle slightly as we approach his house "what is it?" I ask looking at him in confusion. "nothing" he said shrugging, denying himself mocking me.
"night puppy" I say as I walk into my room, closing the door behind me to block any smart remarks he would throw back my way.
I stumble toward my bed letting myself collapse on it. I look at my wounds, they still hadn't healed. I frown and examine them closely. I let my finger graze across the top of them, and then bring myself to reach for my small switchblade. I slowly balance the blade across my skin and watch the fresh blood pour out.
I sit there watching it, waiting for it to heal. But it doesn't. I feel my gut drop. My skin shows no sign of healing. I can feel my lips trembling, why wasn't I heeling. I hummed in confusion, feeling dizzy. I couldn't grasp any possible answer for my flesh strange behaviour. until I felt drowsy, dizzy what ever you may.
I could feel my body numbing and going limp, my knees buckling and my shoulder catching a pile of books, taking them down with my as I thumped to the floor. the drowsiness worked its way over my face finally working its lust over my eyes. I could feel them flutter closed as I lay there helplessly, stuck in another state of slumber.
---------------
My body jolted at the synthetic energy that flowed through me. my mind was awake but my body was not so easily persuaded. I was scared, for the first time. I cannot remember anything after my fatality. Which meant I didn't have a dream, only the pitch black to embrace me in its unwelcoming presents, as I fought and attempted to succumb my fate.
another strong jolt made way through my body, my shoulders locking up. I couldn't even imagine where I was right now. I had not vision or any sounds that could spoil my state of location. for the first time in my life I was clueless. I had half woken up from nothing, been put to sleep by some unknown matter and I was now being shocked repeatedly with high volts that travelled through my blood.
my body was cruel, not letting me draw breaths that I most definitely needed. but within what must have been the twentieth shock my mouth open, and I inhaled the largest breath I could muster. It sounded as if I had been held under water for fifteen minutes and had peaked my head above the surface after looking death right in his eyes.
speaking of, my eyes flicked open with no sign of falter. I could feel my heart thumping and my throat cracking. The room was flushed with the palest white my eyes had bared. of coarse it would make sense that I was in Godfreys tower, which frightened me. this place has always spooked me, I knew that there were hideous secrets hiding behind each and every wall.
"stella" I heard him mumble, no not Peter. I turned my head and felt the natural feeling of tingles travelling down the back of my neck "I have had bad experiences with you and this tower in the same scenario" Is the only thing I could say. I watched as he chuckled a little and then his face went back to its beige state "you, well you um I-" I watched as he choked on his words "please don't stutter" I requested. I watched his eyes mellow "this isn't funny, stella" he said in the most serious tone his vocals would allow "you're dying" he said bluntly.
I laughed, watching his concern forcing his face to clench "bullshit, I'm already dead" I said rolling my eyes "you don't understand" he spat letting his nostrils flare "shut up roman" I spat back at him.
I already knew something was wrong. I didn't need him stressing me even more, I had to laugh it was the only thing that held the tears back. "i'll be fine" I said shallowly with no meaning to my words, I watched as his bottom lip throbbed and his eyes gloss over.
"do you know what happened" he said gesturing to nothing "a wolf bit me? maybe" I said sarcastically "and?" he asked knitting his eye brows together. "And the old myth that a wolfs bite can throw any upir out of their 'living' state" I said with a quiver in one of my words, letting my worry slip.
"we will find something" he reassured "price always finds something" he adds with worry brimming in his words. I knew he was just as unconvinced as I was. "how did you wake me?" I asked attempting to avoid the larger problem at hand.
"price shocked you back into life, I didn't think it was going to work" he choked "I was dead?" I whispered, I watched as his nod confirmed my words.
this was a lot worse than I thought it was.
ok so I know I'm an arsehole, I didn't mean to not update. also I had to write this chapter fast cause I felt bad for leaving it so long, but I haven't even re-read this so the grammar will be horrific and it probably isn't even a good chapter. but thanks for reading anyway.
yours truly, aileysh x
