Luke took Sus and sat in his Ford Pick up truck. They drove very fast. We three were left as soon as Luke and Susan were out of our sight, Maria looked at me furiously.
-"Go in," She ordered and opened the doors of a back seat. I still was standing and didn't move. "you have a lot to explain yourself." She went to a driver's seat and opened her doors, YoYo was by her side. I was watching those doors and remembered Jack's car which was left, but most important was what was in that car. Shit the money and my stuff I thought. It was still left in Jack's car and I need to get it. But is it safe to run quickly and take it?
-"How long he will be in that way?" I ran by her window and asked Maria's. She looked puzzled by my question. I need to take that money, without it I doomed. I need to escape from him and it won't be easy.
"-what a vampire? Why you asking this we need to get out of here get in Maggie!!" She said rudely to me.
-"Ho
-"Shit, I thought you were his pet. " He only said with a deep sight and brushed his smoky blond hair with his fingers. His Pet is he for real? More and more he is frustrating me. And I thought he was cute, I all the time attract morone. Well, good-looking Morones I have to admit. How dare he... What if I would say that I was lost my head because of him, what if I would say that he was my only family, the only one man who boiled my blood only by being near me, by looking at me with his devilish eyes. His dark was beautiful to me, his mystery excited me, his history made me curious, his character was hard and cold but he cared about me, at least I thought this. But he was only playing his sick games.And his smile was something I had to win every day, it wasn't easy but when he smiled everything seemed worth it. Now I have nothing about to smile. Now, I don't want to see anybody smile...What if I would say that he was my only love, my forbidden love.-"Listen I am
-" I am sorry that you are involved in my all mess Maria but "It" is here not because I stole his money. He doesn't care about it ok?" I tried to explain to her with my rolling eyes from tiredness. I all night explaining myself to others and I am tired of doing that. She is my friend and she thinks about me... that I am just a thief who decided to stole money from the wrong person. I wish it would be the reason why he is chasing me it would be much easier to live. In not knowing him, in not loving him, it would be easy to give him back his money and he would leave me alone but most importantly it wouldn't hurt so much. But everything is more complicated than she thinks. She doesn't know that a dead one raised me, that he was with my mother and killed her. They don't know anything they wouldn't understand what I am feeling. And I won't explain myself anymore as I said I am too tired of doing that all the time. I took my bag angrily and opened the doors of 90 Lexus it has a light brow
After sixteen years;Maggie's point of view:I ran. Quickly. From one room to another. I couldn't breathe they were everywhere. I thought maybe I could run through a window and stepped by it. I looked through it when suddenly I saw a pale with long fangs zombies near my trash. He stopped for a second and then ran with huge speed into me. Others joined him too, they broke a window. Their pale, dirty, dead, and cold hands tried to touch me. But I stepped away just in a time, one of them only destroyed my sleeve, not my shoulder. But It almost had me. Others were standing by my broken doors. I only saw their hands through sticks, they tried to reach me too around their nails was blood some of their nails weren't in their place, some hadn't one eye or leg, those who were weak and couldn't move those were eaten by stronger zombies with their wide-open mouths.Their nails were longer which were scratching the wall and everything that had held me away from them. Their
After 16 years: Maggie point of view: I was so into Marias' story that my spirit almost left my body when an old lady about 60 years old, knocked on the window. I jumped from surprise but she just ignored me and stepped away in waiting for us to come out. Maria immediately opened the door of the car and get out. -"What did you do?" the old lady shouted angrily to Maria in doesn't pay attention that we are together with her. YoYo and I slowly stepped from a car too in closing doors behind. We looked at each other with raised eyebrows because of surprise of her grandmother's behaverior.Not hi, nice to meet you or who are your friend? Well YoYo knew Maria long time before I showed up. But now I know from where that strong and difficult attitude of Maria appeared. They were very familiar. Almost on her all fingers were huge rings of different shapes and symbols, on her head was a dark purple headwrap with a plait from the same material on up, she ha
The first thing I noticed in Maria's house was the candles. They were everywhere on a desk, on a windowsill, some bigger candles were on the floor, but when I closed the doors behind my back, all candles blow out at the same moment. I froze in the darkness, which buried my body but not my eyes, I could see everything as clear as in the daytime, I think my vision was even better at night nor at day. There wasn't very light the sun wasn't high enough. I don't know what hour it is now but I think it is still very early. -"Again!?" Maria's grandmother's voice sounded frustrated. As if she all night had to fire again and again so many candles. It was strange as all of them stopped burning, there wasn't wind all windows were closed but some power still blew the fire away. Ms. Brown blinded me with the light from her phone and my vision became blurry so I put my hand on my eyes to avoid the light. -"What happened Baba?" Maria came from another room with YoYo they used their
Jack point of view: Before 16 years: I didn't understand why she kept his name a secret. I can protect them both, doesn't she know that? I don't care how many dead ones I will meet because of her. I don't care how many existences I will ruin because of her. I don't care if I broke a rule to take what isn't mine, because of her... For the first time, I feel alive not because of blood but Because Of Her. I watch her face which looked so innocent but her mind was somewhere else. She sat on her sofa with a tea in her hands. her fingers were tipping the cup, she was nervous. I tried to hear every sound from outside but everything looked normal. My body was tensed then usually, my demons were all the time alarmed I wanted that this dead one would come to her I will be waiting for him in the shadows around her. "It" had hurt her and she was still afraid to talk about her past. But I don't need to know everything that I would give him what he deserves. -"You
Jak's point of view:Before 16 years ago:I don't have any doubts that she would do anything to protect Maggie. Lilliana's eyes are full of fire, full of life and confidence. And still, if she would say his name it would be easier to find him and kill him but she doesn't talk about him and blames me for not talking.-"You were saying that you felt different from others. I can't understand. You are human. " She doesn't know what curse of mine made me change into "different" not only physically but also and mentally, I lost all my feelings, I lost almost all memories of how to feel. She sat on her sofa again and put her legs on it too in making her feel more comfortable. I watched all her moves and her dress made to see me more than I should. She has beautiful legs and my demons began to play with my venom. I turned my face in another direction.-"You wouldn't understand." I looked at her, these words irritated me but I must be patient she is just a h
Before 16 yearsJack point of view:Bang! Vince's doors almost broke when I closed them angrily behind my back. I was breathing hard as if I had a marathon, but I wasn't tired. I was furry. How she can act so calm when she sees a death standing by her side. How could I think that I can save her when I am the most dangerous thing for her. How I could think that she can save me.Vince's eyes grew wide when he saw my dark face covered with blood. I took off my black hoody and showed myself to him.- " I need you" Vince, I breathed heavily the words with a husky tone. But I didn't say his name loudly. It sounded more in my head than from my mouth. And I didn't like the way I heard my voice in my mind... Like asking for help, and not as an order.My voice calmed him from the view of my dirty clothes and face. The master's orders are more important than his confusion or his fear of what is happening. Of what happened to me and what is waiting
- I was almost naked, only with his jacket, he even said, I have to take off my bra because he could smell Sus on me. Firstly I hesitated, but after some seconds of his annoying gaze, I did what he said. He was acting like Jack. As a vampire, but I was so sure he wasn't one of them. I was sure he wasn't normal as well too, he was strange and more than that... But I couldn't understand his secrets, who he was, or from where he came. And from where he knows everything... for example how he knows so well how to hide from a vampire... he is acting like a not normal person like he would be crazy, and he looks like a crazy person, well I have to add, smartly scary crazy person. doesn't care what others might think about him. Only a fool could say to him that he looks a little bit stupid but I don't think anybody would have so much courage and say this directly into his eyes.He managed to keep himself calm but still serious, sometimes he looked through the mirror at me bu
Maggy's point of view: -"Where we are going?" I asked with a voice full of worries and anxiety. was it a good idea to go with him? He didn't answer me...His eyes are all the time on the road, sometimes an old man looks at me from the mirror. His gaze travels to me more and more often. I began to feel somehow unsafe. With this feeling, my hands tried to hug me and cover my body from his eyes. Sus's dress doesn't help me at all. It shows my body more than I wish... That confidence which I had when I went to the club is far away what I feel now. What if he is some of old creeper or raper or even worse...one of a psychopath. His look is strange... Nobody is wearing that cap on nowadays, well not in his age...at least not in a city, well maybe in a village, in Texas... Hmm, how psychopath looks? I heard that they look like normal people, maybe one of those quiet persons... You know, those men with glasses and a kind smile, who are slim, and not physically st
Maria's point of view:-"I can't believe she did that. It is officially, Maggie went crazy." I watched her back, she even didn't turn around, not for a glance, she just left so easily. Her friends don't matter to her at all. I am not surprised, she is selfish, all the time was in that way.She was hiding a vampire and we still suggested our help... Especially YoYo. And what she did? she ran away like a coward. She could have stayed, I would have convinced grandma to let her stay, and it seems... after Baba heard Maggie's mother's name, her attitude changed so quickly. Baba knew Maggies's mother. It is so clear. I'm so curious about their prehistory. But it is not time for tales...I looked at YoYo, he was all frozen, angry, with so many emotions mixed in his face. His hand brushed his black hair like he was tired or unhappy because Maggie never listens to him. Sometimes I think this is the reason why he is so in love with her. But when I arguing with him h
After 16 years: Maggie's point of view: -"We don't have time for this, he is fast I already can sense him. We must go, now." Stranger's voice sounded authorial but also with a fear... does he afraid of Jack? Of course, he does. Who wouldn't? Even if he sounds worried and still his voice sends chills down my skin. I looked at an old man, he went off from his shadows through YoYo and stopped near me with Baba. finally, I could see his face. His eyes were directed to me if nobody would exist anymore, not even time or people, just me and an old man. He had a beard of two weeks and grey hair, he looked like 60 years old and still he was very handsome. He wasn't tall or very muscular, but his body looked strong, even if it was hidden by a suit, I still felt, he wasn't weak. -"You better go home, old man." YoYo threatened, he took from his sleeve a knife, it was long, almost like a sword. How the hell he carried it all the time there? And why he carries a knif
After 16 years: Maggie's point of view: -"What? this is....it...it is nothing like that." I was struggling with my words and thoughts, he has that power... to shut me up. My cheeks began to burn. YoYo is talking like a jealous boyfriend, what is wrong with him he began to act so weirdly lately. Sus is his sister, not me." and about what werewolf are you talking this isn't funny YoYo, it is no time to make fun of me." I felt irritated. I know that my world can look funny for him but it is not my fault I grew with a vampire. It is not a joke for me. Yoyo came nearer me his hands touched my cheek. His dark eyes tried to read my mind even without vampires abilities. He is good at reading people's soles and thoughts. -"That man... He sighed." A blond, arrogant, smartass punk," he began and I raised my one eyebrow. Yes, Manny, he left not a very good first impression, but why he is talking about him now? he isn't involved all in this mess? he is just angry be
- " Long, long time ago, when there weren't cars, phones or electricity, in the world there was a land and it was a very dark place to live." Sniff, sniff, she breathed her watering nose. Lilliana brushed her tears with her elbow and at the exact moment, her tears were imbibed by her sweater. She smiled at Maggie in pretending that she isn't sad at all. Was she sad because of me? I lowered my body under her balcony I had to hear her voice. For almost three weeks I didn't see her. It is harder than I thought: to keep my distance away from her. Her skin was so pale. She had circles under her eyes I think she lost some weight too. And still, she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. But if I have to keep my distance in saving her life I will do it, no matter what pain it costs for me. " There wasn't much food, winters were cold and long, summers were hot and dry. There were more hungry mouths than the land could feed them. Do you know why the world became so dark
This was difficult. I didn't like this new feeling, again. The feeling of heavily. I took one more step away from my Lilliana. One step away from worth to be hers. I watched Vince's face, he was so serious. He didn't know where we were going and what he must do for me. But he definitely suspected that this job won't be clean. I'm curious how strong he hates me? Now he is addicted because of my poison. I noticed how he pressed a wheel in trying not to show me how bad were shaking his hands. I can feel how his soul is calling me. He wants my poisons but he is strong and still doesn't beg me to bite him. I'm curious how strong he can keep... But he will never be as before and he knows that even if he can't understand the power which is keeping to listen to me, to serve me. His all life changed, he hasn't his life anymore. It belongs to me. He can't talk, he hasn't a tongue. And of course, it is also my fault. I never thought that I will
