Chapter Seventeen - Black

KARA

We arrived at the breakfast hall and chose a table that was big enough for both groups. I followed Connor to get breakfast.

"Eat more, alright? You're underweight."

I smiled sheepishly. I took an omelet and some fruit. I looked at Connor's plate and giggled.

"What?" he tilted his head to look at me.

"You have a lot on your plate."

He had pancakes, a burrito, eggs, fruit, and a cup of coffee.

"Hey, I eat a lot," he kissed my cheek.

We went back to the table and the werewolves had a lot of food while the vampires had nothing. We sat down and started eating. Connor sat on my right whilst Edward sat on my left. I finished eating long before everyone and decided to let Connor focus on his food and strike up a conversation with Edward.

"Hey, I forgot to give you my number," I told him while pulling my phone out.

EDWARD

I saw her take out her phone and immediately followed. She gave me her number. She, Kara Manfred, the most beautiful mate I could ever ask for, gave me her number.

Yes, Edward!

Alice screamed in my mind. I smiled at her. We continued to talk while we wait for the others to finish.

"So, you have these things on your neck to signify that you belong to your partner?"

She nodded, "Don't you?"

"Well, we kinda do. We bite the inner wrist hard enough to leave a mark but gentle enough to not let the venom seep into the veins."

"Why gentle?"

"Sometimes, we're paired with humans, and some don't want to be vampires, so we do it gently as to not accidentally turn them."

She raised an eyebrow in questioning but nodded anyway. I swept a stray hair from her face and tucked it behind her ear.

"You have abnormally pale skin for a werewolf."

She giggled, "Well, some people call me an albino, but I just naturally have a lighter complexion."

I smiled and took her hand in mine. She was so petite that her hand was smaller than mine by a phalange. Her hand was so soft and smooth and warm and I wanted to hold it forever.

"Your touch is so cold," she said while holding my hand back.

"I mean, we are vampires."

"Do you burn in the sun?"

"No, we just sparkle under sunrays."

She tilted her head in confusion, "Sparkle?"

I nodded, "I could show you when you're free. We need to go up the mountains and out of the cloud banks if we want the full effect."

"I'll check my time," she smiled.

"What flows through you?"

"Some people think blood flows through us, but it's just venom. That's the only fluid in our body."

"So you're basically like a statue?"

I nodded. We continued to talk until Mr. Anderson spoke.

"We should get going now. We'll contact you soon."
