Animals

Chapter 8

It's been month since I attended Spirit High School. Two weeks ago I gave Katie the puppies. "OH MY GOD! SINAGONA I LOVE YOU!" Was how Katie reacted. And Elija has taught a lot of helpful things to fight vampires. Jake has been picking me up after school. I don't think Elija likes it though.

Everytime Jake picks me up, Elija glares at him. I think I caught Jake glaring back. Elija throws a punch at me, but I think fast by grabbing his arm and using it to pick up his body swinging him down on the ground. "Damn! You're getting better." Elija groans.

"I pay attention." I state as I hold my hand. When he takes it I lift him up. "Because your teacher is absolutely handsome!" He cheers on about himself. "Not one bit." I disagree with him. "I don't judge a book by it's cover, but by it's contents." I tell him.

"Well this guy wants to know about this books contents." He pins me against a tree with his body. "Sorry, but this book has a lock." I defend. "What if I had the key." He pushes himself up against me more. "I swallowed the key." I comment as I slipbaway from him.

"You're so evil." He says dramatically. "Can I know more about you?" He asks. He lays on his stomach on the ground. His head rests on the palms of his hands. "Depends on what you want to know." I reply. "Okay." He thinks before asking.

"How old are you?" Is his first question. "Seventeen." I answer. "Hmm, you're parents?" I freeze. "I don't know..." Of all the things to ask. "You're the last Saga, wouldn't you're parents be around you all the time?" He questions.

"I never met my parents, the only thing I know is that my mother was Saga." I wish I knew more. I wish I could've been with them, but wishes never come true for me... "Cupcake, where do you live?" That's better. "I live in a facility that houses Nia's and me, their only Saga." CRAP! What if he'll use that information and call the vampires to try to kill us all!?

"Were you raised there?" I sigh. "Most of my life, but I went there when I was six." Flash backs of that nights events appear. "The woman I was told was my mother was murdered, because of me. I learned that she wasn't my mother and that I was a Saga." I completely got caught in my memories that I didn't even notice that I was blabbing on.

"Sorry-" My apology is interrupted by Elija wrapping his arms around me from behind. "I'm sorry." He brings up his hand to my cheek; wiping away tears I didn't know were falling. Dammit! I've made myself look weak!

  I'm lost in thoughts until I something soft rub against my neck. I freak out when I realize it's Elija's lips. I quickly push away from him. "I'm s-sorry." Elija apologizes. He covers his mouth with his hand. "Sinagona, I didn't realize"-"Lunch is almost over." I quickly walk inside.

  By the time I make it to my class I realize I'm shaking. I take my seat in hope I could relax my nerves. Maybe that's why he was helping me, so he could use that as an advantage to eat me. I clench my fists at the thought. My fists start shaking in rage. I can't believe I even put a little amount of trust in his kind.

  I should of gotten rid of him when I had the chance! Why am I such an idiot. I fell right in his trap! I raise my hand. "Yes?" The teacher asks. "May I go to the restroom?" As soon as she nodded I rushed out the classroom. Once in the restroom I quickly got in one of the stalls and locked it.

  I sat on the toilet. Suddenly something warm and wet fell onto my arm. I'm crying. Why am I crying so much today? Last time I cried this much...

  "That woman wasn't your mother."

  Why? Why does my life sucks so much? Is it because I'm a Saga? I hear someone walk in, so I quickly wipe away my tears, and head back to class.

  As I'm heading home a certain arse calls out to me. "Sinagona, wait!" I ignore him. Once I spot Jake I walk a little faster. Elija then grabs my are making me spin around. "Listen to me, please." He begs and tries to plea with me.

  "Leave me alone." I growl harshly. "I should of known you weren't any different from your kind." I hiss. "You thought I was different..." His voice sounds broken? "I used to." Is all I say before making it to Jake.

  "Yo, Sina you alright?" Jake asks as I walk up. "Sinagona wait!" Jake's gaze turns to Elija's. Elija stops. They both engage in a glaring war. "Hey, bud I don't know ya are, but Sina doesn't want to be around you." Jake is the first to speak. "Stay out of it mutt." I growl at Elija, but he doesn't care all his attention is on Jake.

  "Jake, let's go." I suggest while trying to push him away from Elija. "I aing't gonna let someone call me a mutt." He states firmly. "Jake!" I growl furiously. Finally Jake listens to me. "This isn't over, whoever you are." Jake hisses before walking home with me.

  "Next time I see that d**k face, I'll punch his face in!" Jake growls. He aims to punch the wall, but I catch his fist before he could. "Calm down." I say in a gentle voice. "Sina"-"You should head to bed." I interrupt him. I quickly head to my room.

  The way he looked at me, maybe he was sorry? No! Sinagona Sira Sinaria! He's a vampire! They are all monsters.  But then why do I still think Elija isn't?

                              Why?
