*There was some foreshadowing in the last chap. about what would happen in this one. If you caught it you were warned but if you didn’t you may hate me after thing... don’t kill me.* :(
“How long have I been asleep?” I groaned, stretching my aching limbs.
“Three days.” I heard Rem reply quietly. I gasped and looked over to find him lounging on the couch next to mine. “Everyone was starting to get worried.”
“And by everyone you mean you and cela?” I asked.
“No, Shaun and John too. I don’t think they want to admit it but your secretly growing on them. Demitry is just quiet and indifferent.” He stated, scrolling through his phone nonchalantly. “I’m glad you’re awake finally, I was hoping to get to say goodbye to you before leaving.”
“Your leaving?” I said shocked. He laughed
“Not leaving permanently, we have the day off so I was planning to spend it with some friends.”
“Oh.” I said dumbly, looking down.
“Hungry?” He asked
“Si, molto molto.” I mumbled, my stomach also made its voice heard at the same time. I curled into a ball on my side.
“We stopped by taco bell, I saved you this.” He said tossing me a soft taco.
“Why are you so somber, you seem... off...” I said giving him a hesitant glance as I dug into the yummy fold of meat.
“I’m not sad, just quietly excited.” He said with a small smile, trying not to hint anything.
“What are you hiding?” I asked suspiciously.
“Well...” He started to speak, looking conflicted in wether to finish or not. “The friend I’m going to see is my girl friend.”
“What?!” I yelled, picturing a crushed Cela after learning Rem has two girl friends.
“Its not what you think, shes my ex but she doesn’t understand. She thinks we are still together so today I’m going to set it all straight for her. I love Cel and I only want her so I don’t want my ex popping up later causing problems. I want to know all my other ties are cut and I can completely be free to give myself to Cela.” He said. I smiled, Rem was really such a good, caring guy, he had his priorities straight and I now saw that their short love story was really as deep as they portrayed. I was still a little skeptical but I’d never admit it. They deserved to live a long and happy life together.
“I’m happy for you guys.” I smiled, “I hope I find someone some day that I can connect with like you guys have and I hope you live a long happy life together.”
“Thank you.” He said with a warm friendly smile. He got up and gave me a big hug. “Your not going to feel 100 percent yet so don’t push yourself today, in fact, just stay here. Pretend like your still asleep and don’t go to work.” He instructed and with that left to go clear the air in Celestina’s name. I was happy, having food in my stomach and a fluffy blanket to curl up around. I don’t know what it is about blankets, they just make you feel so safe and invincible. I fell asleep again for a couple hours then awoke again when I felt and icy stare on me.
I looked up to meet the dark eyes of James, leaning against the doorway.
“What do you want?” I groaned, feeling uncomfortable near him. He cocked an eyebrow with a questioning look, laced with under lying anger. I swear there is never a time when this guy isn’t angry.
“I don’t think your in any position right now to be talking so freely and disrespectfully.”
“What do you want then? Me to be fake?” I snapped. “Oh all powerful James, no one can ever dream to be as amazing as you.” I said sarcastically, glaring at him. He stepped forward with a hand raised and I readied myself for the foreseeable slap.
“Hey Divya, I heard-” Celestina suddenly walked in through the curtain, stopping mid-sentence to observe the scene before her. “Whats going on?” She questioned looking at James through narrowed eyes. I’m glad she finally got a backbone while in his presence but did she really have to debut it now!? He cocked his head in response, watching her through narrowed eyes of his own, sizing her up. Without a moment’s notice he suddenly pounced, grabbing hold of her throat and slamming her into a cabinet with a twisted grin. I was shocked for a moment but finally jumped into action. I sat up, jumping off the couch but my legs gave out and I fell to the floor. I was starting to realize what Rem meant about not being 100 percent. A shrill scream rang through the room and I looked up to see James ripping into her neck. I felt a pang of pain in my own neck just looking at the sight. Her knees buckled and she fell to the floor but he didn’t leave it there, he followed her down sitting on her still taking her blood. It didn’t take me long to realize what he was doing, he was draining her, killing her before my eyes. Anger rushed my veins and I crawled the remaining way over to them, launching myself at James hoping to make him lose his balance and let go but he easily pushed me away.
“Stop!” I pleaded, trying to pull her away, but it wasn’t working. Even if I had all my strength it would still be a hefty challenge to stop him so I felt even more helpless and useless then before. Hot tears streamed down my face and I eventually fell down from all my vain attempts to help. I crawled back, rolling up into a corner of the bus as he finally released her. My feelings were so jumbled up at this point that I had no idea how I was feeling I just looked on in horror. He looked at me his eyes blazing the same red as the blood that stained his face. I was so scared and upset that I was hyperventilating at this point which only seemed to please him more. He stood up, dropping her body like it was nothing to him and slowly stalked over to me like a hunter observing pray. He crouched down then sat on top of me, seizing my chin between two fingers and smiled, his demonic, red eyes boring into me. Then he crushed his lips to mine, I gasped in horror and shook my head trying to get away but he held me still in an iron grip. He used his tongue to pry open my lips and suddenly dumped a mouthful of a warm, metallic-tasting liquid into mine. I gagged and choked, realizing he was feeding me blood and tried desperately to fight him, to spit out the blood of my friend he was sadistically forcing upon me but I couldn’t and in the end to his satisfaction had to swallow it. He released my head and watched in amusement as I wriggled around on the floor, coughing, and gagging, almost becoming sick.
You’d think the sick bastard would be happy then, he killed my best friend in front of me then forced fed me her blood but this night of horrors was only beginning...
RIP Celestina, you were loved by many readers of this story and characters within it. Your death wont be in vain, Rem will make sure of it!
Sorry if your scarred for life now, I spared you the gory detail of what happens after that. What can I say? James is seriously messed up! (putting it nicely)
