Unexpected turnout

Chapter 16

Recap:

Sighing I turned around and headed out of the door, locking it behind me. I had to stop thinking of her as a human and start thinking of her what she was. Vampires were brutal monsters that feed on human blood. So why didn’t I see her that way? I sighed again before heading to my room. I have to shake these feelings for her. What would Reid say if he found out?

Ashlyn’s POV:

When I started to gain consciousness I tried to sit up but the searing pain was still preventing me from moving too much. However I did notice that a plaster was now covering the wound. I frowned. I had also been left some clothes. This is weird. They hate me yet they gave me clothes and covered my wound. I’m highly confused.

Shrugging it off, metaphorically, I once again tried to sit up. Pain shot through my collarbone but I managed it. Next was to try and get this damn dress off.

**********************************

After about 20mins of struggling and pain, I finally managed to get the clothes on. I wiped the small trail of sweat off my forehead and looked down at what I was wearing. There was a pair of jogging bottoms and an All time low t-shirt that were both quite big on me. Oh well at least it’s better than the stupid dress and whichever one of them owns this t-shirt had good music taste.

It was then that I noticed how thirsty I was. Not water but blood. I need some blood at least once a day otherwise I will grow weak and die. Slowly and painfully. Tears sprung to my eyes as I realized that this would be my fate. It was obvious that I wasn’t going to be brought some blood anytime soon.

I must have cried myself to sleep because next thing I knew I was being woke up by a pressure harshly pushing against my wound. It was nearly closed but it still hurt like hell. I screamed out in pain and looked up to see Reid stood there poking me with a long stick.

He smirked “Well look who’s awake” Jesse and Miles laughed but Phoenix stayed quiet, staring at the ground.

I looked back to Reid to see him glaring at Phoenix “Oh yeah almost forgot, Phoenix get over here” He turned to me and said “You see, he’s been a bad boy. He covered the wound and gave you clothes. You’re a prisoner not a guest and so he now gets the honor of taunting you” He grinned evilly.

He nodded to Jesse and Miles who drew their guns and pointed them straight at my head. He then grabbed Phoenix’s hand and slashed a knife across his palm before pushing him towards me.

The smell of his blood hit my nostrils as it flowed down his hand and dripped on the floor. Normally while drinking blood I would look normal but since I hadn’t had any for a while I felt the vampire instincts taking over. I could tell my pupils had turned black and the red ring was there. I could feel my fangs slide into place. I hissed.

“Oi sit back or I’ll shoot” Miles called and I looked up at him. It was only then that I realized I had slowly begun crawling towards Phoenix.

I shrank back and glanced up at him. He looked back looking truly terrified as he cradled his injured hand. He had gone pale and was shaking slightly, eyes wide, mouth open.

Reid laughed and helped Phoenix up before slinging his arm around his shoulder “See little brother, this is why we’re not nice to these creatures. They’re evil, unnatural monsters”

Phoenix shrugged Reid’s arm off and walked out, saying nothing. Reid looked and Jesse and Miles before saying “Well he had to learn the hard way. Come on the game starts in 5mins” And with that they left.

I was so embarrassed. Phoenix, the only one who was nice to me, is now terrified of me; of what I become when I’m hungry. I shouldn’t be here I should be married to Tyler right now. He isn’t creeped out by my thirst for blood, he finds it fascinating.

As much as I willed them to, my fangs wouldn’t shrink. I was still hungry and as long as there was blood around my fangs wouldn’t go away. Cringing at how disgusting it was I bent down over the puddle of blood Phoenix’s wound had made and begun to lick it.

Disgusted at myself, I pulled away when it was gone and laid down careful of my collarbone. Once again I cried myself to sleep.

Hey guys. Sorry it's been forever I got all of my technology taken away /:

Anyway this is a quick update as I should actually be revising. I will update again this weekend though :)

Song on the side is 'Weightless' by All time low
