Chapter 24

I woke up to the alarm, it was strange, I hadn't remember setting one. I opened my eyes and looked to the side where the sound was coming from. I saw Rebeca's smiling face about a foot from mine. I smiled and saw that she was holding a clock. It was 6:30. I groaned and sat up.

"About time," She said smiling.

"What getting up at 6:30 in the morning isn't normal?" I asked her.

"Not for you," She said.

"Oh yeah. Right," I said to myself more than her.

"Come on," She said dragging me to my feet.

"Fine," I said in an exasperated sigh but smiling.

"Get dressed and take a shower, while your doing that, I'll eat breakfast and when your finished with your shower, you also can have a bite to eat," She said with a wink.

"thanks," I said and she left. I changed out of last night's outfit into a light green shirt with blue jeans, with my trenchcoat to top if off. I headed to the bathroom and took my shower. I exited fully dressed and ready. Rebeca was grinning at me from across the hall way a few yards from me. She walked to me and hugged me tight.

"Thirsty?" She whispered in my ear. Yes... I heard the voice say.

"Yes," I answered.

"Good 'cause I'm in a giving mood," She whispered seductively in my ear. I leaned down to her neck and kissed it once. Before leaning closer and biting down. The sweet, rich blood trickled down my throat, however. Like always, I fought my basic instincts to drink will I was full, which I was sure would kill her, or almost kill her. So I fought it. It was stronger now though, stronger than usual, it caught me off guard but I was able to resist. I thought it might be stronger because of the voice. Because I knew it was instinct, the voice, I thought, was because I wasn't strong enough but... I wasn't so sure, maybe it was all together something else that I didn't know. I overcame my instincts and withdrew. I took out a handkerchief and wiped her neck clean. The two holes were already scars and looked like pin pricks. And you couldn't see it unless you knew what you were looking for and you couldn't tell even up close.

"Everytime you bite me... It feels better and better," She whispered, her pleasure waning.

"That's good, I wouldn't want to hurt you," I said and she smiled.

"I think it's about time to head out," I whispered to her. She nodded with a smile. She walked to her room and after a few seconds, she was out with her backpack. I smiled and grabbed mine and we headed out the door. I was surprised when the fist didn't follow us. I guess the threat of exposing myself to my classmates was a good deterrent. She was right. I felt that the voice was quieter when in the presence diminished when there was a significant risk of exposure. I got in the driver's seat and Rebeca, in the passenger's set, I started to drive.

We got to school in good time, about 10 minutes before school started. We got out of the car, Rebeca smiled at me.

"What?" I asked her smiling back.

"Oh nothing..." she trailed smiling and started for the school.

"What?" I asked again following her. She just shook her head. I rolled my eyes and decided to leave it. We walked into the commons. It was packed with people gathered and talked about pretty much anything, especially about the events of the last few weeks. Me and Rebeca made our way through the commons with little difficulty. Ralph and Jessica caught up with us when we made it to the end of the commons. We all walked towards our class while we talked. We just talked about how Chrismas went and what we got. Me and Rebeca talked about going on a trip but we didn't mention the why, just the where. They were excited until we said we didn't get to do much sight seeing. And we just kept talking and we sat down at our table. It was nice to just talk for once. We hadn't done it in a while and it was nice. Everyone seemed to be having a good time til class started. Mr. Spinega walked up to the front of the class from his desk which he had been sitting at.
