Forbidden love

Part 3: A Complicated Feeling

Photo of Aiden Ross as close as i could get

There were two people standing there, well three if you count the child. What struck out most was the man on the left. His scent seemed familiar, but at the same time it was like new. He had blue eyes with what was like a messy undercut, light skin. He walked up to me and kneeled down.

"Its ok, you can go if you'd like." "Just be careful big guy."

He reached out to pet me, that's when i felt a rush of fear come over me. My ears went back, and my tail hid between my legs. I ran out of there the best I could. I didn't want a vampire to ever touch me...

When i got back to the house Annabella and Jeremy were waiting for me. Annabella rushed over to me, almost crying. She fell next to me, hugging me. That's when she noticed the bandages on my leg.

"What happened?"

Maybe she forgot but she was talking to a wolf, which meant that I couldn't speak. Sometimes she forgets things, it happens quite a bit. She let go of my arm and we both walked up to Jeremy. He looked concerned and mad at the same time. Which mostly meant i was gonna get lectured when everything is settled.

"Damian, we will talk after you fix yourself up!"

I called it, he was always protective and worried alot. Once things started getting heated with the mutts and rogues. He changed in some ways. He didnt like us being seen by anyone while we were in wolf form. I couldnt blame him we were a little bit bigger than a normal wolf. More power and speed could be very intimidating.

I bobbed my head in agreement and he let me inside. I ran up the stairs and into my room. Thats when I transformed and got dressed. A white T-shirt and basketball shorts as im not gonna go anywhere else tonight. I pulled off the bandages and saw that the cut was healed. I threw away the bandages and headed downstairs to the living room. Where Jeremy was waiting for me.

"Care to explain why you came back late with a wounded arm?"

I didnt say anything, cause I didnt know what to say or were to start. He would be pissed to hear that i was touched by a vampire even if it was only a little girl. Maybe if i said i had help first. Than maybe he would be understanding.

"Speak Damian, now!"

What the hell, ill just tell him everything in order.

I told him everything, the attack by the wolf, the house, the child, the boy, everything. He sat there for a minute taking it all in. I couldnt ever tell what his emotions were when he was thinking like this. Its like he doesnt have an expression while he thinks. Then he looked up at me.

"They didnt try to kill you, or do anything?"

I shook my head no and he sat again for a few seconds. He then told me that i should stay away from the house. Only when he says otherwise. I didnt understand why, they didnt seem like bad people. Then that had me thinking about that guy, something was telling me to go to him. It could have been some trick he put on me while I slept. So for the rest of night I couldnt sleep. I couldnt stop thinking about him.

It was finally morning and someone was nocking on my door.

"Damian, its me Annabella, can I come in?"

I said sure and she walked in currious as to what happened last night. So I told her everything. Like I always had, its what we did. She looked too me and asked me something the made me confused and shocked all at the same time.

"Are you gay?"

"What!"

"Do you like guys?"

"Why would you say that, im straight I like girls!"

I couldnt understand why she said that. A werewolf bit my arm, some vampire healed me. And when I explained or tried to explain that I had a weird feeling about that guy, she goes and asked something like that! She said she was curious nonetheless.

"Why are you acting so weird, im not gay!"

"Well your the one who said you felt something strange about him, not even describing the other person in the room!"

"What the hell does that mean!"

"It means you are gay!"

I was getting mad now. How could she ask such a stupid question instead of worrying about if im alight, or worried about the investigation today? I then ran out of the room before i said something stupid. I ran downstairs, telling Jeremy that im going for a run. Just like that i was out the door.

I ran and ran and ran until i reached this abandoned house i always went to. For some reason i was drawn to it, it helped me relax. Once i sat down somewhere i started thinking about what Annabella said and what happened with that guy. I must of thought about it for two hours, and just couldnt understand why she thought i was gay. It was just a weird feeling, that couldnt mean anything... right? I layed back and looked at the sky and into the clouds. I did so for ten minutes. What if I was gay, does that mean i had feelings for this guy. I dont even know his name. That wasnt possible, no i wont believe it. I stood up and ran towards the house with that guy and hid behind some bush acrossed the street. I scanned the windows to see if i could see him. I saw nothing.

"Dammit, where are you!"

"May i help you?"

I quickly turned around and saw the guy standing there, he was behind me, how!? I felt fear as i couldnt wrap my head around how i couldnt hear him, or pick up his scent for that matter.

"Um, uh, i, i was just."

He looked at me confused, his eyes looking at mine. As if he was looking for something.

"Are you alright, did I frighten you?"

"N-no i actually was looking for you."

Im an idiot, that sounds creepy as hell. I was already looking at his house from behind a bush, now im talking to him like a creep. What the hell is wrong with me.

"Really now, do i know you from somewhere?"

"No, well kinda"
I didnt know what to say, so i took a deep breathe. I asked why he was here and were he came from. He then just looked at me, looking to see if i was joking.

"I should be asking you that!"

"Your new here right! I just wanted to know where you came from."

He paused for a moment to think. What was he thinking about? Was it that hard to answer a question?

"Me and my family just moved in. Our last place was a little, well, bad. So we came here."
That was easier than i thought. For a second i thought that he was gonna attack me. I told him thanks and just left. Maybe having this information will calm my dad from yesterday.

I got home and told Jeremy what he said. He looked at me and told me to go. I guess it didnt work, well atleast i tried. I went upstairs and into my room. Annabella was there in the same spot waiting for me.

"Why are you still here?"

"Im sorry about earlier, but i wanted to make sure you remebered about school tomorrow?"

"Yeah what about it?"

"Dont be late this time, Clare will kill you!"

"Ha ha very funny."

She smiled and left my room, finally I have my room to myself. I care about her alot but the whole gay thing really made me angry. So for the remainder of the day I just slept away the anger. Until tomorrow morning, when I start senior year.
