Tara's POV
It's been a week now and I'm getting ready for school. I have to go. When I graduate I will be given the choice to leave and go to the human world.If I don't, I'm stuck here forever. He problem is I need drugs. My head hurts. I haven't slept in a while.During the day, they take shifts but every night Jake is here. I pretend to sleep but I open my eyes once he does.I thought vampires didn't get sick but u was wrong. The only thing difference between us and humans is that we heal faster, drink blood, can't die unless it's a stake and have heightened senses.The garlic and the holy water was all fake. And we do have a reflection. We also need sleep just not as much as humans.But I hadn't slept in a few days and I was pretty dizzy. This wasn't a wound so I wasn't healing. I needed drugs.When I had a sniff, the nightmares disappeared. "Tara, are you done?" T called from downstairs.I didn't bother answer"Oh, uhm. It's nice to meet you Amelia but don't call me princess. Just Tara will do." I said politely."Okay, princess Tara." She responded and smiled at me as I rolled my eyes. Then she laughed. She sounded wonderful.I couldn't help but join in. Her laughter was so contagious. "When Jake comes, tell him I'm in my room, okay?" I asked.She nodded and turned to do whatever she was doing. I kissed Bella's forehead before leaving Amelia seemed nice.She had brown short hair and deep green eyes. She had a babyish face that made her look cute.She seemed lethal and dangerous yet bubbly and warm. I wish I could be like that. But I can't. I don't wanna get hurt anymore. I don't care anymore.I cleared my thoughts as I headed to my room. I closed the door behind me and lay on the bed staring at the ceiling.I was thinking of ways to torture my sire. If he hadn't changed me, I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't have met the Masked Mo
Jake's POVI grabbed her waist and kissed her hard. If she was surprised then she didn't show it.She kissed back and wrapped her arms around me. It felt so good. Her lips felt so warm and soft.And as she tugged on my hair I groaned into her mouth before pulling away. She looked so flushed and flustered."When you come back everything will change. Until then stay away from any males. You're mine and only mine." I said possessively.I was turned of pushing her away because of the guilt I felt. I was going to find out who the Masked Monster was.Tara kept mentioning it every time she had a nightmare. So I figured he caused it.Before she could say anything, I broke out of my reverie and ran out of the airport and into my car.I drove so fast that I thought I would get into an accident. I had to leave. If I didn't I would atop her from leaving.She's my mate. I don't want her to leave me. I'm not going to
I took a deep breath and prepared myself. There I stood. One more step and I would finally be back.I closed my eyes and stepped forward. It felt like something just clicked. Like I could finally breathe properly.Soon we were through customs and baggage collection. The driver took the baggage from me and carried it outside.I walked until I was outside. The driver opened the door for me and I stepped in. Mom had prepared everything.I was feeling so nervous. Today was the twin's birthday and they were having a masquerade ball to celebrate.Mom said I had to go. More like forced me. That meant today I would see him. After two years I would see Jake.And I would see Jeremy. I would see all my friends. Bella sat down and the door closed. Soon we were driving.Bella kept blabbering about how she had missed Jake. Of course she did. And of course I also missed him.After a while the car stopped and the door opened. I
Tara's POVWe pulled away as soon as we heard clapping. I blushed a deep red as the whole ballroom was filled with applause.Well some people were clapping. Most of the females were shooting me glares. I gave them the stink eye in return.I could feel the sparks everywhere. Jake held my hand and slowly led me out of the ballroom.I didn't know where he was taking me but I trusted him. We walked down corridors and halls until we ended up in the garden.I remembered being here. Jake sat on the swing under the Oak tree and pulled me onto his lap.The crescent moon was out and as shining on us brightly. I stared at his face. He showed no emotion and it worried me. What was he thinking?"Do you remember the first time we came here?" He asked softly. I nodded. "You dared me to get an apple from the highest branch on the tree." I answered.He nodded. "You, being you, slipped and fell on me. I swear you crushed me with your
Tara's POVI woke up to a blinding light. I groaned and slowly got up. My throat felt dry. My vision was blurry."Here, drink this." A voice said and handed me a glass of blood. I drank it to the last drop and closed my eyes. I sighed as images of what happened last night flashed in my mind.When I opened my eyes I noticed that it was Jeremy and not Jake. I pushed away the disappointment I felt."Where is he?" I asked. Jeremy sighed. "He's gone for a run. He'll be back soon." He answered as he placed the glass on the table.I sat up in the bed. I didn't know where I was but I didn't care. I needed answers. "Why did you kiss me?" I asked slowly."You looked so helpless when you saw him kiss Braeden. The only to get him away from her would be to make him angry. So I kissed you and he reacted." He answered.I nodded slowly." I'm really sorry about everything that happened. What are you gonna do when he comes back?" He asked.
Tara's POV"I'll ask Athena to ship it to you. Is that all?" Tessa asked.I nodded before realising that she wouldn't be able to see me. "Yes, that's all. Thanks for your help. See you in a couple of months." I said."I love you. Stay safe,bye." She said before hanging up. There was that word again. Love!I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Jake was in love with me. I'm sure you think I shouldn't believe him but I know what I saw in his eyes.It was sincere and raw. No mask. But what can I do? I won't let him in. I spent years building a wall around my heart.I let go of my feelings for him. Because they're not needed or even important. I just wanna kill the Masked Monster and my sire and then leave here for good once I graduate.And he's already haunting me. I wonder if I could get someone to trace the phone call for me. I wish Friday would come faster.Athena's gonna ship me everything I need to defe
Tara's POVRing... Ringgg... RingggggI groaned as I grabbed the click and threw it at the wall. It wrapped the blanket closer until it was suddenly ripped away from me."Get up. We have school." A voice said. I groaned and turned to put my face in the pillow. Nice pillow..."If you don't stop that I will stick a pole up your ass so deep that it'll come out through your mouth." I threatened. I heard feet walk away and I sighed in relief.I suddenly felt cold water on me. I bolted straight off the bed. And there were the culprits laughing like hyenas who had tuberculosis.T was leaning on Edward. Damon and Noah were on the floor. Mason stood at the door laughing and Jake looked like he could barely breathe.I ignored them, feeling annoyed and stomped off to the bathroom. I had my showers and after drying myself I came out in my robe.Jake lay on my bed and I could hear Bella giggling as the rest were awed by her cuten
Tara's POVIt's been a week. Elena and Braeden haven't left me alone. Now they corner me and let the jocks beat me up.Sure I fight back but in the end they win. Because I can't practice magic in front of any one. Hell, no magic was allowed in the kingdom but I'm still practicing.The tardy bell rang and i pick my bag and leave the class. I walk to my locker and take out my books before heading to Jake's car in the parking lot.I leaned against it and waited for him. He was teaching me what I needed to know about being a vampire.But he said we have to go to his house because his mom wants to see Bella. I'm a lady by Meghan Train or began playing.I pulled out my phone. Tessa was calling me. "Hey!! I've missed you." I said."Aww, bitch. Of course you did. I'm awesome. Anyway, I shipped the things but since you live in the vampire kingdom there are some complications." She said.I frowned at that. "What complications?" I asked."I got the herbs and the animals but since the book is ful
