CHAPTER 54 LENA. Lunch break went by in a blur. I sat at our regular table with Leah and the others but it was quite obvious that we weren't talking. Lena ignored the hell out of me and I was thankful I didn't speak to her. She was back talking with Luke and everyone else at the table. I ate my lunch quietly, only occasionally replying with laughs or a few worded comments. My eyes scanned around the room, in search of a tall, dark haired beauty that had been the bane of my existence. But he wasn't anywhere in the hall. I wondered what he was up to. Sucking off life forces. "Don't." I said through my teeth. Oh. There he was. He came into the hall and all the girls started staring. Some even leaned over to their friends and began to listen to each other. I had a theory. What if every female in Willow High felt a bond to him? What if they thought they were mated to him? Because it was starting to get crazy. How could one man magnet every lady here? The thought
CHAPTER 55 LENA. Scarlett was in the sprint team. She had brought the school enough championship cups and she was just about to win a scholarship to one of the most prestigious universities in the country. And just like that, she met her death. I didn't see her dead body this time. She was carried off in an ambulance and we the students had to watch as the ambulance drove away. "No. This can't be real." A girl beside me cried. She had been wiping her tears and sniffling since we came here. "She can't just go like that. She was just running this afternoon. How the fuck is she dead?" I turned to look at her boyfriend, Doug. Tears ran down his cheeks as his friends held onto him comfortingly. I felt his pain. I saw the grief in his eyes. He didn't deserve any of this and yet, this was it for him. This was fucking it for him. Sighing, I blinked back tears before backing away from the people standing and watching. Things were getting out of hand. Something had to be
CHAPTER 56 LENA. The truth was that I had turned Xander down once upon a time. He had been so mad and had threatened me not to tell anyone that I did. Not that I was scared of him or what he was capable of doing, I just didn't have it in me to tell anyone that he had asked me out. Not even Leah. He didn't hold an important place in my life so he wasn't even a topic for discussion. But Damon is. I rolled my eyes as I shut my locker. "Oh, please. You know why I am so keen on him." Let's believe that it is just that. As promised, Damon had dropped by at the bleachers where I sat to finish up an assignment I hadn't done. Mr Finn didn't remember the detention. A lot had been happening in school lately so I expected him not to see it as anything. Sitting at the bleachers was like a suicide move, owing to the face that Igor had died here. But I wasn't afraid. Infact, I wanted whoever was doing the killings to come after me now that I was alone. But it was just Damon.
CHAPTER 57 LENA. And so, I rode with him on his motorcycle, hating the sound of this exhaust blasting through the wind as he sped towards my home. The smell of smoke and oil and Damon's scent remained with me throughout the whole ride. "Thanks for the ride," I muttered under my breath as I pulled off the helmet from my head. I handed it over to him, feeling a zing of energy as our fingers brushed for a brief moment. He cleared his throat and nodded. I caught a flicker of something indecipherable in his eyes. It was gone as soon as it came. Or maybe I was just imagining things. "Uhm," He began as he placed his helmet on the space behind him. "You're not going to ask me to come in?" My. Things did feel different. I didn't feel the anger I used to feel towards him. It wasn't there. I also didn't see him as a threat. He was just there. Standing and staring at me through those eyes of his. Wisps of his hair fell over his forehead and he brushed it back for a moment and
CHAPTER 58 LENA. I was going to draw the eyes of everyone at the party today. It was definite. I stood in front of my mirror, smoothing down the tiny creases on the burgundy silk dress I was wearing. I had gotten it from Shein one time while shopping online with Leah over facetime. I had sent her the photo and she immediately gobbled it up, begging me to buy it so she could see me wear it. It stopped above my thigh and it had a slit running up my right thigh. My back was bare, save for thin straps criss-crossing across my back to hold the bodice in place. Thin strapped arm held a pair of v-shaped cups that held my breasts. My cleavage was open. Like very open but I thanked the goddess that I had small breasts. I turned to look at my behind to see that my hips were accentuated by this dress. As much as I hated to admit that I had wider hips than most girls, it was the reality of my life. I didn't like it so much but there was nothing I could do now. I had to convince Xan
CHAPTER 59 LENA. He was like a fucking tag that refused to come off my dress no matter how hard I used my teeth. We exchanged glances and I knew why he was here. I tried not to look like I was affected by his presence. Instead, I said. "Can we go to the door? We need Xander to let us in," I caught a glimpse of Luke and Trevor through the transparent floor to ceiling windows that lined the eastern part of the mansion. They had party cups in their hands and were talking excitedly about something. Lucky brats. "Alright," Leah said and we began walking towards the entrance. People walked through once they showed their invitation cards and I regretted why I hadn't collected a few from the girl from yesterday. She was the one at the fucking door so that meant I had the chance. She had been nice to me and all of that even when I tried to discourage people from attending the party. She was dressed in a silver dress covered in silver sequins. It was an A-line strapless
CHAPTER 60 LENA. I forced a smile that didn't get to my eyes and waved at him. I could still redeem myself. It didn't matter if Leah was in the wrong. "Hi, Xander." His smile faltered and my heart skipped. "And what are you doing here?" I took the last step and stood in front of him. His eyes moved to my cleavage and lingered there before he looked into my eyes. I wasn't going to get mad about the way he looked at me even if it made me feel damn uncomfortable. "I came to your party." I replied. "I know things have been shitty between us and I hurt you but trust me, I didn't mean any of that," He scoffed. This wasn't going to be as easy as I thought. "So trying to talk people out of attending my party was what then?" Shit. "I was so unhappy yesterday, Xander. Watching people die and partying felt so weird to me. It's just, after I lost my mum, things stopped making sense," I looked into his eyes to see the sympathy that had slipped in. This was fucking low but I ha
CHAPTER 61 LENA. I found Trevor and Luke standing in front of the pool. They were ogling at girls taking off their clothes and jumping into the pool. Most of them were drunk and laughing loudly. I had to cover my ears as I walked towards them. I tapped Luke who turned to look at me. His eyes were bright but I knew he wasn't drunk. Trevor was about to go off to talk to one of the girls giving him the come-hither look but I grabbed him back and pulled him away from the pool. When he saw that it was me, he blanched. "Lena. I didn't know you were close by. I just wanted to ask her—" I pushed my hand into his face. "Save the cock and bull story, Trevor. I don't want to hear anything you have to say. You all must have forgotten that we are here for a reason. What the fuck are you guys drinking?" Luke and Trevor looked into their cups. They looked confused for a moment and Luke had to bring the cup to his nose. So he had no idea what they were taking in?! "It's a fruit p
