Bloody Rose

Roman

Years later

Mya. What a breath of fresh air. She was dark haired with cinnamon colored eyes. I always find myself drowning in her. Something about her was mystic too. Best part, she's human. After everything this is a small relief.
I was driving us home from the school dance. She wore a strapless black satin dress and black straps open toe heels. Her hair was held back in a simple updo. She looked elegant.
"Adriana isn't home." She said aloud with a grin. My sister was never home.
"Don't expect any different. She's a surgeon." I said nonchalantly. I pulled into the drive way and cut the car off. "You look... amazing." I said in a low breath.
She blushed. "Let's get upstairs." She leaned over to kiss me deeply and quickly.
I hurried to the door and unlocked it. Once the front door was shut we immediately began kissing. She held our bodies close as we climbed up to my room. We bursted into my room and fell right on to the bed. We didn't know there was someone else in the room.
"Mya." A familiar voice called out. We stopped and looked up to see Ashton sitting at my desk with her index finger on the small lamp.
Ashton. She was breathtaking, mesmerizing and overwhelmingly beautiful. She sat in the chair with some patched up jeans and some platform doc martens. She wore a black knit sweater. Her hair was cut into a stylish bob.
I was so in love with her, a big part of me still is. But along the line Mya got under my skin so the love was slightly tainted. But I never stopped believing she was the most beautiful person on the planet.
"Damon." She said my name with no emotion. I guess I felt that.
"Ashton. What are you— Wait you know Mya? How?" I glanced between the two in confusion.
Mya looked pissed, like she just had been caught. She stared at Ashton. Then I instantly put two and two together. "You're a vampire." I couldn't believe it. All this time she was using me?
"Damon—" Mya started but was interrupted.
"Tell the truth Mya. Oh! I almost forgot to share the new. Myles? He was dating my sister. Well...—" Ashton was also cut off.
"Where is he?" Mya asked demandingly.
"Dead. You might be next." Ashton smiled at her very deadly-like. "Tell Damon everything. Your fake family that you compelled to be yours. Mya, tell me... where is your mom?" She asked.
"You killed her." Mya turned towards me. "She killed my mother and my brother." She said pleadingly.
"You haven't exactly explained this." I said.
"Are you on her side?" Mya asked.
"Mya I'm confused. We're about to have sex and then my ex-girlfriend turns on the light and all of a sudden you're a vampire. I'm just now finding all this out."
"Allow me." Ashton smiled. "I killed Mya's mother because she was trying to kill me. It was a fight in which she lost, fatally. I was simply defending myself. Yes of course I did not like her that's not a secret. But i did not wake up that morning and decide to kill Katherine. We fought and I won. Anyways, she sent her brother Myles to spy on my family through Zaria and here she is with you."
I frowned. I didn't like that Ashton killed someone with no remorse, although it was nothing new. I didn't like that she came back all of a sudden. And i definitely didn't like that Mya was doing dirty work with her family.
"What are you thinking?" Mya asked.
"It was all fake?" I asked.
"No Damon. At first it was but we really got to know each other. I never told you a lie I just never said what my initial intentions were. I only want to kill Ashton." She admitted. I believed her, she was honest. We've spent some time together I can see.
"Damon." Ashton called my name.
I turned to her. "Do you still want this... thing with her?" She asked directly.
I didn't know. I love Ashton and I'm glad she's back but then Mya is something special. But if I choose Mya she'll try to kill Ashton.
"Yes." I said without thinking.
Ashton stood quickly and approached the bed. All in one moment she grabbed Mya by her neck and slammed her into the wall. "I'll spare your life." She said tightening her grip. Mya struggled against her strength and couldn't breathe.
"Ashton." I called out. She dropped Mya to the floor.
"See you in school." She smiled before disappearing.
Mya sat on the floor trying to regain her strength. She was panting and her eyes were black. "She's dead." She muttered between breaths.
"You can't... kill her." I said.
"You said you wanted this so you have no loyalty to her." Mya snapped.
"you don't understand—"
"You still love her." Mya shook her head.
"No. She left me we have nothing." I said honestly. I began to remember part of me resented her. She made me fall in love so deeply and then just up and left.
"Let's hope it stays that way." Mya said with a short smile.
We weren't ready for the new Ashton.
