The Curse of the Crystal Heart

Chapter4: Will it change everything

Catalya

woke up because of the cold wind blowing into my room. I looked over and saw that Joshua has gone. He must have left the same way he came. Its better that way before any of my parents caught him. I got up and his hoodie was still on my bed, his scent was still on it and it made me think back to last night. He just told me he loves me. I do not know if I can believe him we only known eachother for days. How is he so sure? I got out of bed and realised I'm completely naked. I walked over to the closet, grabbed a gown and hanged up Joshuas hoodie. Before leaving to get ready for school my attention was drawn to the droplets of blood on my sheets. 'What am I going to do?' , I thought outloud. "Catalya, you need to get ready for school",  mother said. I quickly ripped the sheets off the bed,shoved it in a bag and then forced it into a secret compartment in my closet. I usually just keep my diary,credit cards and some loose change in it, looks like I'm adding bloody sheets. It's not forever just until I can find the time to get rid of them. I get into the shower and the water is hot ( just how I like it), it soothes me. I watch as the droplets run down my skin. Tracing the areas where Joshua left his touch. I hesitantly take the soap and begin to scrub. I don't want his touch to leave my body and I guess I'm sentimental like that. When I'm done I get out of the shower and prepare for school.

" You want a ride?", Julian asked. "Goodmorning to you as well my loving brother",  I greeted reminding him that he is a prince afterall. Though he hates to be  called that. Guessing I'm not the only one who is not pleased with the title." Oh where are my manners. Good morrow to you my beloved sister ", he says in a british accent. I climb in his car and he starts it. "Have you seen Leon?", he asks pulling out of the driveway. "Perhaps in his room." "No he went somewhere last night and never came back. His not answering his phone either",he says worried.He hasn't been home all night! Father even had to turn on the security when it was his turn.
I feel so sorry for Julian his nerves are always shot. He is the soft hearted one and Grey is the heartless killer. Neither of us kept pets anymore cause when we do they end up in Greys 'laboratory ' where he fix them. My parents love that about Grey. Apparently he is more vampire than all of us combined. Just because he's a born killer. (Well we all are but he acts the part).

'Maybe being a vampire would change things' ,I thought as I walk through the gates of the school. I'm looking for my friends but I don't see anyone so I decide to go to my locker instead. I pass the cleaners room on the way and get pulled in. The lights switch on and I am face -to-face  with Joshua. "You know you can't just pull me into the cleaners room whenever you want",  I tell him breaking the silence and gaze between us. He doesn't respond he just moves closer."I forgot  my hoodie", he says. "Well you not getting it back",I say which makes him chuckle. He stops and a serious look takes over his face. "I hope I didn't take advantage of you. I know it was your first time and I should have waited-",I interrupt him by giving him a small peck on the lips. When the sound of the bell echoed through the walls I opened the door and stepped outside. "See ya around ", he said and we both parted ways.

"Where were you?",Bianca appeared from my side. "Looking for you guys",I lied. Well it's not actually a lie because I was actually looking for them at first.

We arrived at Mr Carlyls class and then everything started spinning and I felt nauseous.  "Bianca I think I'm gonna be sick",I say then swift to the bathroom. I barged into one of the stalls thinking I was about to vomit but nothing came out. My throat became raspy and everything was zinging. I manage to stand up and walk to the mirrors. I glanced at my reflection only to see blood running down my nose.  'Don't freak Lya,don't freak '. I then looked at my eyes. Black was filling them and my veins around my eyes became visible. "Aaaargh! ",I couldn't help but freak out. I go back inside the stall.' No one can see me like this. Heck what the hell is this! ?'.

I was in the bathroom for almost the whole day. I fell asleep and then when I woke up my eyes were back to normal and all I wanted to do was go home. I told the secretary I wasn't feeling well and she then called my mom to pick me up from school. "I'm sorry miss Damon but nobody is picking up. Would you rather stay in the sick bay and sleep it off?",she ask and I agree. I lay on the bed in the sick bay and try to close my eyes.'Cough Cough' I look in the hand that was covering my mouth and I saw droplets of blood. What is going on.
