The Book of Blood

Chapter E I G H T:

I wake up suddenly, breathing heavily. I look around to see that I'm in one of the guest bedrooms. It's 3 in the afternoon. Voices are heard from the kitchen. I feel warm and my hands were shaking. My head is pounding. The dream I had was nerve-racking. I close my eyes and a pair of eyes were looking back at me. They were his eyes, his stupid, fucking eyes. The dream's events keep playing in my head. I close my eyes and they replayed. 

I'm in the Room of Murals, newly built. Everything was shiny and you could still smell the fresh paint. There were murals everywhere except for one space. There was nothing there. I walk towards the blank space, my heels clicking rhythmically. Before I'm close to it, the scene changes and I'm on a battlefield. There are hills around us and bodies were lying everywhere. I hear faint sounds of metal clashing and grunts. A figure flies through me and I turn to see it's Olivia but with glowing wings and long black hair blowing in the wind. I hear two battle cries behind me and I see Trixi, Dominique, and Hera running and ready to strike into a hoard of demons. I look behind me to see a dark-skinned man and Belle, both of their eyes are a shade of purple, chanting spells. Two scepters float behind them, shooting beams of light into the sky. Then, everything goes out of focus, and all-time slows down.
I spin around and stop. On top of a hill, I see Daniel, Julian, and Jax H. A. in fighting stances. On another hill, Jannelle, Lexi, Celeste, Artemis and I were standing with our weapons drawn. The scene disappears again and I'm on the side of the battlefield. Next thing I know, at full speed I see myself running towards Daniel. My Rose of Death starts to glow a blood red and the rose at the hilt, turning into a black rose. Before my blade touches Daniel, there is a blinding light. 

I open my eyes to see Belle in front of me with a concerned look on her face. She has different clothes on. The clothes were in a new style. It's cute or whatever. She puts her hand against my forehead and she flinches away as if in pain. I raise my eyebrows. "What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong?" She nods frantically and says, "Your forehead is hot. You need to drink some blood...how long have you filled up sis?" Belle grabs my hand and teleports both of us to a comfy room. There were white chairs and couches with throws on top of them. The rest of the girls were sitting in there, talking. Jannelle, Olivia, and Dominique were in clothes that were normal in this time period. Belle gets Celeste's attention. 
"Do you have any blood for Celene? She's warm." Celeste runs towards a small fridge and pulls out two blood packs. She throws them to Belle, who catches it and gives them to me. My fangs retract as I poke a hole in a pack and start to suck. While I was filling myself up, the others continue talking. 

Trixi gets up and she walks to the center of the room. She smiles and says, "Guess what, everyone?" She didn't wait for an answer. As she should have because we weren't going to answer. "I enrolled all of us!" Silence followed after this horrible announcement. After finishing the blood packs rapidly, I sit up and walk towards Trixie slowly. I'm glaring at her and my pupils turning into slits as my anger grows. The school was the place where I found out I wasn't able to live with humans.  I'm face to face with Trixie and before she could react, I grab her by the throat. "Do you understand what you just did, BITCH? We're pureblood vampires. We haven't been accepted for years and I doubt we will be now. So, how-" I'm interrupted by Jannelle's authoritative voice. I look back at her to see she's standing as well with her arms crossed. "Belle already has that taken care of. Dominique and Belle knew about it before it happened. That's how we will get in touch with this "Micro" guy." I breathe heavily, trying to calm myself down and I release Trixie. While she's gasping for air, I walk alongside Jannelle towards Belle, who's nervously smiling. Before I could talk, she begins to talk. "I have the jewelry you guys could wear that protects you two from the sun. Celeste helped me out with what we all could wear. I just thought this would be good for us. You know, Micro is attending the high school. I believe he's way older than the average high school student. Please don't be mad at me, Celene." I take in everything she's told me. I should keep the dreams I had to myself. I smile and say, " I'm not mad at you Belle. You're only being helpful and I appreciate that. Really, I do." I pull her in my embrace as Jannelle says, "ANYWAYS.....Lexi, don't worry about us around the school. We can handle ourselves." I let go of Belle and smile mischievously. Wrapping one arm around Jannelle, I say, "Yeah. It's not hard. Besides, even if we did get lost, we could always just.... leave." 

Celeste gets up from the couch with a plastic bag in her hand and gives us all a device that I've seen them used before. She tells us that they're called Iphones and she taught us how to work them. She also takes me to a room-sized closet and picked out a style for me and gave me a plethora of clothes to have outfits for....dare I say it......school. I put on one outfit and I go back to the comfy room. Belle had made books and notepads for us. She had made us cute little book bags too. I kind of was getting excited. 

As far as I'm concerned, this whole "Back to School" thing is going to be interesting.
