Heart Run

Chapter 5

Kat's POV

I glanced over at the closed door of my new room, then at Sushi sleeping, then back at the door. I admit it, I was scared, but when wasn't I? Why can't I help but smile? I think I finally understand what they mean by revenge is sweet. Honestly though, this is the first, no, the second time I've ever stood up for myself. It feels even better every time.

Lies.

I was terrified, but I also felt some satisfaction. A smile crept onto my face as I heard a knock on the door and got into position. I can't exactly tell you if I was smiling because I was remembering the look on his face a couple weeks ago or because I knew what I was about to do. Or maybe even both.

"Hey, I ju-"

I didn't wait to hear the rest of his sentence. I closed my eyes and put all my anger into throwing my bootleg water balloons. They were actually some gloves I found in the huge first aid kit I found under my bed. I just filled them with water.

I loved to hear each splash the gloves made when they hit his body. All the humiliation I felt left, and was replaced with content. Throwing the last balloon, that content turned to horror.

Instead of Ash's brown hair, I saw black drenched hair on a very confused boy. I didn't see golden eyes which threatened the sun, I stared deeply into a pair of silver ones. Before me was not a humiliated Ash, ready to kick me out of the house. Smiling at me was an unfazed Natt.

"Well," he beamed at me. "That was certainly refreshing. Well, so was your little surprise."

"I'm so sorry! I thought you would have been Ash. Here, use my bathroom." I led him into my room and grabbed a towel. As he stepped in the shower, I realized this wasn't my bathroom, but whose was it? There were only two people living here. Maybe it's his sistsr's. After half an hour past, I gave into my curiosity. "Hey, Natt?"

"Yeah?"

"Whose room is this?"

I heard the running of the water cease. "Uhm, I can't answer that. Ask Ash, but when he's in a good mood."

I felt my face fall. "When will he be a good mood?"

The bathroom door opened. "There's only one day when he's actually in a good mood." This guy...

"And when is that?"

He chuckled, coming out of the bathroom with only a towel around his midsection. "I can't tell you."

"Fine." I rolled my eyes. "Can you at least tell me why the sudden desire to check on me?

He smirked. "You said it yourself. Desire." He must have seen my expressing change to pure disgust because he continued quickly. "Ash told me to tell you something important."

"Uhm. Okay?"

He looked at me seriously.

"School starts in three days."

Ash POV

Why are they taking so long? I just told him to tell her that school is starting soon. I mean, what could they be doing up there?

I hate you!

It had been almost a week since she said that. Why should I care? I don't exactly know her and she would have to at least pretend to like me. She was living in my house. Why would I let her stay though? Why did I stand up for her? Why am I going through all this for someone who hates me? Even more so, why am I letting what she said affect me? I've heard those words so many times they no longer hold a deep meaning for me. They are just words. They're words that can't hurt me.

I felt like laughing at myself, so I did. I guess lying to myself won't really work that well. Lying to others is so much easier. Way too easy. I tried to control the water in my eyes from spilling, but one stray tear leaked through my weak barrier. I tried so hard to supress the memory from entering my mind so I just preoccupied myself by trying to reading "The Right Way". That didn't work so well and my mind began to drift again.

I walked into the kitchen and decided to eat something. I always got hungry at this time of day, but the only thing I could find were some Frozen Ones. I never tried them, but they had to taste at least a little decent for Natt to like them so much. I opened the box containing the frozen snacks and picked a red popsicle. I stuck it in my mouth and immediately winced. It was way too sweet and left my mouth stained red. I should have known better, I mean, Natt like it for goodness sake.

I decided to just have my daily beverage and . I know I'm not supposed to have it any more, but it's just so good. I couldn't help myself. Besides, Natt is upstairs and Kris is still sleeping in my room. Kat doesn't know anything about me, and I'd like to keep it that way.

I couldn't help myself. I stared at the beverage, deciding whether or not to drink it, but I knew I'd give in. The voices in my head were screaming at me not to, but my mouth was watering, my heart was pumping and soon, I couldn't make out what the voices were saying.

I lifted the mug to my mouth and started drinking hungrily. I didn't mind that my mouth wasn't catching all the contents of the cup and red liquid was dripping off my face. It tasted so good. This was the second best thing I've ever experienced, apart from sex.

After I finished, I contemplated whether or not to get some more from the kitchen. I would be in enough trouble with Natt when he realized what I had done, but I couldn't help it. I turned around to meet hazel eyes boring into mine. She stood there, with a blank expression on her face, but I could see the horror in her eyes as she looked at me. She found me.

"Are you a vampire?"
