Black eyes

Chapter 8

It was sunny and warm the next day. I went to school still thinking about what my father told me last night. It's killing me inside, because I really want to know, because according to my dad, it involves my safety. I assume it also involves my mom, but I don't know how and I want to find out. I obey my father, but when I feel like there's something bad happening behind my back and I know nothing about it, it eats me inside and I can't resist anymore. I need to know.

I was walking home when I suddenly I felt someone's hands on my hips. I jumped a little and turned back to see Blaze devilishly smirking at me.

"Damn it, Blaze!" I rolled my eyes and Blaze walked next to me with his hands in his jacket pockets.

"What's up, how's school?" He asked me. Blaze seemed in a very good mood today. I noticed that when he's in his ,,good side"  he's calmer, serious, emotional, he obviously has humanity, but right now he seems arrogant, overconfident and conceited.

"Did anyone pick on you?" Blaze asked again, this time, pulling me closer to him and I blushed. I'm not used to this kind of...interaction.

"No...they just ignored me" I answered. The fact that I'm not used to someone touching me like that is making me nervous. He's making me nervous.

"Assholes. They should be drooling all over you begging for forgiveness. You're so attractive" he winked at me and I pulled away from him and stopped walking. I looked into his eyes and they weren't blue anymore, they were red. I frowned. Shouldn't they be completely black? I guess it only happens when his demon side has taken all over him and he has no control of his humanity.

"I like it quiet like that. I don't like attention, plus, you're acting different" I said honestly.

Blaze chuckled and put his hand on my arm starting to rub his thumb on my bare skin, because I was wearing a crop top. He stepped closer to me and licked his lips, then said "you might not like attention, but you're going to get used to it with me, because I'll be paying a lot of attention to you..." he whispered the last words while getting close to my face as our eyes locked. My heart was racing. I could feel my cheeks heating. I was left with no words to say, but I didn't even have to say anything. Blaze took my hand in his and started leading me somewhere.

"Blaze! What are you doing?!" I asked as he quickened his pace.

"I'm taking you home, you gotta study don't you?" He asked looking back at me over his shoulder as we walked and I was behind him like a tail following him wherever he goes.

"How did you know..?" I frowned. I swear to god...this 300 year old guy is making me anxious as fuck.

"You're a nerd, nerds do studying for living" he said and chuckled only making me roll my eyes.

"That's not true! I have hobbies" I said and pouted. Blaze stopped and faced me with his body. He still had that conceited smirk on his damn face and it's not that it's annoying, it's kind of attractive...and no one ever looked at me like that so I honestly don't even know what to do or how to react...you feel me?

"What kind of hobbies do you have then?" He asked and crossed his arms over his chest.

I sighed and shook my head facing the ground "I'll tell you after I'm done studying for two upcoming tests, alright?" I said and glanced up at Blaze. He nodded and mouthed an "okay" before we started walking to my place.

He's so attached to me. I have a demon half a human attached to me, who's very unpredictable and it's honestly worrying me, because I don't know what could happen. What if I fall asleep and suddenly he turns into a monster and kills me? There are so many possibilities that could lead into that, but besides that, I do like his company somehow.

Even though we feel and are so different,  I don't want him to leave me...

Blaze's POV

Maggie and me were laying on the bed in her room. She fell asleep on my lap while studying. I watched her sleeping so peacefully and calmly as I caressed her hair.

Suddenly I became extremely thirsty. I looked down at Maggie. I put my hand over her forehead and got even thirstier. Fucking hell...

I carefully and gently placed Maggie's head on the pillow without waking her up and checked the time. It was 1AM so her father must be home from work now. I went into Maggie's bathroom, which was attached to her bedroom. I went inside, turned on the light and closed the door. I looked at myself in the mirror...my eyes were pitch black. My veins were popped and my heart pulse quickened. I have to get out of here before I completely lose my humanity.

Not wanting to make any noise in the house, I opened Maggie's window as quietly as possible and  jumped out and ran into the woods that surrounded Maggie's house.

I ran losing my humanity more and more within seconds...until I could no longer control myself and kill...
