The girl that smells like Moonlight

Luna(22)

Rose's eyes widen in what looks like horror, gaping at me. She backs away from me. She is so terrified! Oh, no, my love,no...I'm so stupid, I should of controlled my bloodlust better. I hurt my beautiful, Rose. Her taste explodes in my mouth again. She tastes so wonderful, I could taste her all day. I suppress a moan, and wipe her blood off my lips with the back of my hand. She puts her hand up to neck, seems shocked by the blood on her neck. She continues to back away from me. Then she fumbles around blindly off the bed into the floor and the light flicks on. I blink from the sudden bright light. She looks questioningly at her bloody hand. Her breathing becomes heavily, her heart pounds in my ears. She presses herself against the wall, and brings her hand up to her face. I timidly walk over to her and grasp her shaking shoulders. She starts to look blurry, and I realize I've been crying. I place my hands on her shaking shoulders trying to get her to look at me. I desperately try to explain, " My beautiful, Rose. Please, listen to me. I can't express how sorry I am. I am, my love. I really do love you. I didn't mean to keep this from you, but yes, I'm a vampire. It won't happen again. I promise. Let me try to explain.".I take a deep breath trying to be strong. I continue,"So, well...Vampires are everywhere here. This is where vampire aristocrats spend their time. There are some humans here, because the vampire officials like my dad say that the humans will get suspicious if there is no human cooperation. You are safe here though.". She starts to back away and she grasps the doorknob. Then she takes off running out the door away from me. It hurts with every step she takes away from me. I can't hold my body up anymore. My knees hit the floor and I let the tears fall freely. I can't believe I hurt her. All I do is push her away. My heart hurts. Rose...How could I have hurt my delicate beautiful, Rose. I feel my body shake with sadness. I can't believe I've lost her again. Lost.... Rose is probably lost. She doesn't know her way around here. Wait..there are lots of vampires, and she's covered in blood. Oh, no. Panic sets in and I shakily wipe the back of my hand across my eyes. Some vampire might attack her. I spring up to my feet, and I slam the door shut behind me. I take off towards the ballroom. I bet she's going to retrace her steps and go back out through the entrance. I look around the ballroom maybe somebody found her. I push through the crowd of twirling and swirling bodies of people on the dance floor. I see a flash of blue similar to the color of Rose's hair on the other side of the dance floor. The lights turn off suddenly then a disco ball comes down from the chandelier. Two lime green spot lights shine down on a man with a pair of head phones casually placed around his neck. . He announces excitedly into the microphone, "You guys ready to get the real party started. It's midnight and you all know what that means. It is now time for DJ Nikolai to get this party started right!!!". Then loud speakers start booming a popular pop song by Katy Perry. Then all the people in the room start clapping and cheering. I try to slide through the crowd before they start to dance again. Then I see the blue flash and follow it and see a woman wearing an short electric blue dress with a flowery cut out design near at the top of the back and very long bone straight dark hair sweeped over her shoulder. She turns around and my breath catches. I recognize her as my ex girlfriend Vicky. She recognizes me too. She tosses her hair back and smirks at me. Her cold grey eyes studying me. She looks like a real predator as she stalks towards me. I take a couple steps back, still in shock. I shake my head, and tell myself she doesn't have any effect on me anymore. I shake my head of thoughts of her. I don't have time for this. I break myself of the trance and start to walk away. Then my body is lurched to the side. My back hits against the wall. I see a pair of chilling eyes staring down at me. Vicky has me pinned against the wall. She growls in my ear, "Did you really think you could get away with walking right by me without a hello. How rude, I always thought we were closer than that.". Her eyebrows scrunch together in disgust. " Why the hell do you smell like that?". She pushes herself against me. I hate when she does these things. Her lips suddenly press themselves sloppily against mine. Then her hand cups one of my boobs. Just gropping my chest. She has always scared me, but this time is different I'm utterly disgusted. My disgust escalates to anger as I think about Rose. Her soft lips, how shy she is. Only Rose will touch me! I push as hard as I can onto the ground. I screetch," You revolting bitch!!!!". I'm suddenly on top of her and my fist comes down at her face. Then again, and again. How dare this bitch touch me!!! I scream, " How dare you touch me? I'm not who I was before. You've hurt me way too many times!!! You think ill be your prey still? Do you think ill just let you do whatever you want to still? You are wrong, you sadistic bitch!!!!" I grab a handful of her hip length, straight, onyx hair and yank her up to her feet by her hair, and toss her at the wall. I flash over to where she is, and yell, " How does it feel to have your hair pulled?". I feel all the anger of her abuse from all those years ago. I relive all those moments, and kick her against the wall. She stumbles as she struggles to get up, her eyes glowing crimson. She is clutching her face with her hand. I glare at her and spit, " I'm taken. Get that through your head, whore!". She holds herself up with one arm on the wall. She laughs softly and asks in almost a whisper," So that's how it is?".Her dark hair cascades around her hiding her face and most of her body. She asks softly," You must of imprinted with your soulmate, huh?". She turns slowly towards me, and smiles weakly at me. I watch crimson streams run down her arm. Then she says sounding defeated," That means your really going away this time, Rory.". She starts to hobble slowly away. The way she said it makes the anger start to subside. Then I think about what she said, what does she mean I imprinted with, Rose? There is no way I could of? Is she there? Oh, yeah, Rose! I try to push back through the crowd of dancers. I can't take this crowd anymore. I need to find, Rose. I don't think she's even in here, thinking back to earlier ,she said she can't dance. These people need to move out of my way. Then there isn't anybody in my way anymore. I look around and all the dancer's have moved to make a path for me. I don't understand how this happened? I slow down and look around and so many vampires have their fist up against their chest with their heads bowed. Vampires only do that for superior, high upper class vampires. Like with counsel members like my father or the royal adult vampires. which I look around and I don't see anybody else in this path that I'm walking. The path is a straight shot to the dining room where I was going. There is no way I did this. I mean my dad is the vampire king, and I'm not the vampire queen. My older sister is next in line for the crown. I run out of the room. After I close the door I look out into the dining room. It is empty except for like ten people. Then I see her and her platinum blonde locks. She is wearing a little black sparkly dress, and tapping some sexy strappy stilletos on the floor irritatatedly. I timidly walk over to her, and greet her."Hey, Tsuki. Do you know what happened here?". She slowly looks up at me with recognition reaching her flawless features. Her family name is Hatsuki which means moon flower. She huffs, and throws her hair back behind her. Then says annoyed," My date ditched me is what happened.". I ask, "Where did he go? ". She points towards a hall of hotel rooms. I ask confused, "Why?" She explains, "Because that's where the bleeding girl went with the roses on her dress.Some vampires just don't have class or sense just chasing after a human girl like they've never had blood before. It's people like them that make humans think we're all monsters. I mean they all already had glasses of blood. They are just acting like savages.". I nod slowly, and ask, " Was she bleeding from her neck and did she have blue hair?". She thinks it over, and replies, " Yeah, I believe so if I remember correctly.". I reply quickly, " Thanks, sis. ". She asks quizzically, " Why did you want to know?". I reply, " I am looking for her. " Her eyes suddenly light up with excitement as if she just pieced something together. " Is she the girl named, Rose that Usagi told me about?The one that's your girlfriend?". Then worry crosses my sister's face. She puts her hand up to her chest. Then exclaims, " I hope she is alright. I'll help you look LuLu.". She gets up and we head towards the hallway she pointed to earlier. Then she stops beside me and points in the opposite direction and says, " I'm going to look in this direction in case she came through this way, and I need to find my jerk wad of a date and make sure he knows whatever we had is totally over.". I know that's code for she's gonna go hunt him down beat the hell out of him. At this moment I'm going to pretend she isn't that crazy and agree, " Yeah, give him a piece of your mind!". I smirk and roll my eyes. She sauntered off to the the opposite side of the room. Then my phone buzzes. It's a message from Rose! I fumble with my phone not able to get it open fast enough. The message reads, Hey, I'm okay. You don't have to worry. I'll meet up with you outside hotel room 140 in 10 minutes. See you in a few. I'm so glad she's okay. That room number should be some where down this hall. I just hope she's not still mad at me. I love you my beautiful, Rose.
