"-Do you know him?" I asked Lilly if I would be her old friend and not a stranger. But she just shook her head from one side to another showing me the answer no. Still looking with her worried eyes to the side where that old man was going.
"- Do you?" She asked me the same. But I couldn't answer her, some words were kept in my mouth, her light green eyes mesmerized me. It was like a green diamond. Her little nose with those freckles and full lips took my attention away, now her hair looks a little bit red when the sun was slowly moving down. But not all only some of it.
When I didn't answer her she finally looked at me. Her eyes locked with mine. She curiously looked at my long black hair which easily was laying on my shoulders. Her pupils traveled to my neck, she noticed my necklace and kept her eyes there for a moment, then she looked at my chest and her cheeks became brightly red.
-"We need to go I need to get rid of the bodies." I said calmly and couldn't help and watch her reaction, but her speed of heart was still normal. In her eyes, I didn't see fear or any uncomfortable gaze because of my words. She even isn't surprised by what I said to her. Soon she shivered. Was she still in shock and maybe for now she understands what happened just one moment ago and what her eyes had have witnessed? I calmed my voice and tried to speak as soft as I could also I put one step away from her if she would feel more scared being near me. I should delete her memory. I should delete myself from her. She would forget me easily and think about this my heart was thrust with huge pain. But she steps one step closer to me if it would be some competition. Why would she want to be closer to me after what she just saw?
-"Thank you". She whispered and bowed her head that I couldn't see her beautiful eyes of emerald. What in that little head of her was happening? Did she just have thanked me that I cruelty killed her kind?
"Can I?.." She shyly wanted to ask me something but stopped. Just a moment ago she was so brave, even if stupidly brave but still she was very brave, and now she is all shy. And it's confusing me, she is so strange.
-"I can call a taxi if you want?" I said to her in not letting her have more time today something to me, I couldn't let her go on her own, because of her security and I knew she wouldn't want to come with a monster's car full of dead bodies, but somehow her eyes lowered and they became sad. Did I make her sad?
-"Oh..." she sighted without looking at me, her attention was stolen by a black kitten. She nervously brushed with her little fingers through its fur" Sure it would be good," she continued again but her voice was sad, she stopped talking again. I tried to be patient with her, humans did everything more slowly so I needed to not forget to wait for her words which she had to find not very easily. "You did for me too much I couldn't ask more " She whispered but my ghoulish ears could easily hear what she had been saying to me. I couldn't help but my eyes widened did she just wanted something from me. Sure she wanted to ask something and I didn't let her of my fear to hear something from her what I wouldn't like. I was so selfish not to let her talk because I knew she just will push me away, so more easily was to keep my distance from her.
-"What you wanted to ask me? Don't afraid I won't hurt you, you can ask whatever you want" What bullshit I was talking about? Of course, I wanted to hurt her and of course, she should be afraid of me and she should run from me...No! she can't run if she will and make sudden movements of fear I will kill her, my hunting voice can't keep me from adrenaline which people feels it effects me with pleasure and their huge speed of heart, and when they run it's fun to catch them and I thought how Lilly would run and I would catch her, I began to feel poisons in my mouth and shame crossed my body. Nooo! Not Lilliana Storm not her, my chest hissed. I turned from her I couldn't look at her eyes when I told her such a huge lie.
-"Um... I just ...wanted...can you drive me home?" She sighted the last words with relief if she would be glad that finally, she could be available to finish her sentence. It took her some braveness to say it even if her voice was so uncertain like if she would be afraid, but her heart was still calm so she didn't feel fear? What did she feel then?
I couldn't help but turn around and look at her again. I raised my eyebrow with disbelief. Did she really want that me the dead one would give her a ride? Isn't she disgust with me? She looked at me and more redness came to her cheeks. I didn't know how long I will keep myself from not letting darkness take possession of my eyes, she is making me want her so bad. And I want to give up on demons' senses.
It was hard to be near her. She smelled more tasteful, she looked that as well, she acts in the way that I wanted to know about her more and it was insane. She is making me act stupid, being near her I feel somehow weaker and still I like this feeling, to be a weak, it is making no sense. This feeling is making no sense...
-"Sorry I shouldn't ask that and trouble you even more" She lowered her head in shame and turned around from me. What she is talking about? About what problem? Does she think that she is making me a problem by asking me for a ride? But she doesn't think about a problem that four dead bodies will be near her? Does she? She isn't in shock, isn't she? Somehow her face looks that she would be in shame, that somehow she would have done something wrong. The more I look at her the more confusing I feel. But one reason I know I don't like to see her sad. And for now, her eyes are sad and with shame.
-"Do you want that I would ride you?" I couldn't help and ask her. And I was right in thinking that she wanted exactly what I asked because her face soon became joyful. No, it can't be. How could she want to be near me when she knows who I am. And why she won't run from me screaming at the same time? In fact... it would be a disaster and I glad that she reacts in the way she does.
- "Yes I would like it very much" she shivered again but on her face was a sweet smile. It again made me think does she really understands what is happening here? I couldn't help but put one step closer to her.
-" You are shivering, do you afraid of me ?" I couldn't keep myself from curiosity and somehow with her, I felt playful. But this playfully was different as sometimes I felt with my victims, it wasn't as I used to be when I wanted to seduce them, this playing was more of happiness for unknown reasons.
"-No, I'm cold." She answered while one hand tried to warm her and another keeping a cat which was shaking too. She brushed with her hand up and down to another of her hand. Yes of course humans are addicted to temperature, I forgot that. I couldn't give her my jacket because it was wet. It would make her even colder. So I went to my car and opened her doors. I curiously watched how she reacted again to my invitation. But she looked calmy and quickly ran into my car. I didn't wait and turn on the temperature in my car. Behind my back was the little window I closed it that the smell and view of the bodies wouldn't disgust her. But she reacted in a way like those bodies wouldn't be here at all. It didn't bother her at all. She is the most strange human girl I ever met.
I was driving slowly, the journey with her by my side relaxed me and I didn't want that it would end soon. This silence between us was comfortable, but it didn't last for a long time. Her question broke this silence. And I wasn't mad about that too.
- "Umm you didn't tell me your name." Lilly asked without confidence in her voice, for a moment she looked at me but when I turn my head to her side she quickly lowered her head with shyness.
-"No I didn't" I answered her and began thinking if my voice didn't sound too rude now and after some silence, I continued, "It looked like you already know my name." I tried to sound more cheerful but I think it wasn't successful because her face soon became very pale.
-"I hadn't. I really don't know your name." She defended herself and I didn't understand why she felt so insecure. Oh yes of course she is sitting with a dead one who killed other people, sure she will feel insecure with me. She didn't look to my eyes even didn't look at the kitten in her hands, she looked through the window with her serious gaze, she was thinking about something very serious and it bothered me what was in her mind.
-"I am Jack." I said after a moment to her and gazed again at her face, she turned her head from the window to me. If in waiting for something more from mine lips.
-"Jack who?" Her eyebrow raised in curious.
-"Only Jack," I said and turned my head from her to the road. Her question made me feel uncomfortable, I don't like to remember my past, the time when I was an ordinary human. It was a difficult time.
-" Ok...Only Jack, nice to meet you." she said and some giggle left her mouth I looked at her sweet smile. So she also was and funny to talk, her smile infected me to smile too.
- "Nice to meet you, Lilliana". Firstly my mouth let words out, then my brain understood what mistake I have made. I said her name without letting her introduce herself. Coldness took my body. What she will think about me now? That I am some creepy stalker. I'm worse than that and still, I try to meet with her. I couldn't look at her. But she kept surprising me with her next question.
-"How long you have been watching me?"
After 16 years: -" Common, up..up...higher Magie! higher! more! The coach was screaming at me and her face was red from anger as some beets. She is the death of me. She is small and fat and her mouth bigger than her all body. But she knows how to do her job, just sometimes it looks that she hates me more than others. The sweat was dripping from my forehead and my legs were hurting after 8hours of training. I try to raise my leg as far as I can, then I jump in the air and spin around myself but I stumble from my other foot. -"Argh" Anger and tears showed in my eyes when I had landed on my butt. -"What was that?! are you crying like a baby? Maggie, I have five-year-old girls who can do a better jump than you, pull yourself together! You are so pathetic," she says angrily and then laughs. It makes my blood boil quickly I stand up and with my raised head I continue my solo again m face is cold without any emotion. " Look your nec
Maggie:-" Yes, I remember that you looked into it for a long time" He scanned my face if he would looking for something in my soul, his warm eyes began to be more serious, more suspicious. I wanted a tattoo so damn but I was embarrassed to say that my father would die in shock if he would be mortal. He likes to call me a lady. I don't even know what this word exactly means. But I think Jack's ladies don't have a tattoo or other shit I want."When you were there with your friends." He continued. Manny stood up from his chair with his cup and went by the table where his papers with pictures of a tattoo were laying. Those I had been thrown up everywhere on the floor, but now they are all collected. He gave one to me. I took it looking into his eyes. I don't know why but his gaze began to make me feel nervous. "Then you said that tattoos aren't your thing" He paused for a moment, when he realized that he was rudely staring at me he took his latte into his hands and he sip
Maggie:I stood up so quickly from the desk as if the lightning had hit me.-"Are you done Manny I really need to go" was so nervous the one thing I could hear was tik tok tik tok. Time was over and I broke a rule and I am thinking now what Jack will say or do. I took my sweater with my shaking hands in not waiting for his answer. I was panicking and didn't know what to do now. When he came from his journey? Does he have eyes on my butt? shit, this is soooo bad. I even not dressed properly and he doesn't like when I'm wearing makeup I can't even imagine what he is thinking when he saw me half-naked by Manny.- "What's so rush Maggie who is burning?" Manny looked confused but then he sniffed the air and his all body tensed. Slowly he turned around from me and looked through a window where was standing Jack. Manny suddenly changed so much that I couldn't help and stare at him. His grey t-shirts almost tore off when his muscles grew stronger, espe

I couldn't believe what Jack did to Rose. He washed her brains. Did he ever had done that with me too? He could manipulate me whenever he wants and I wouldn't know that... It was so easy to do to him this.-"What is wrong with you today?" Jack came to the house after me, he closed the doors with annoyance. -"What is wrong to me, what is wrong to you?" I asked with a surprised look and my voice with a little bit too loud.-"You don't seem very happy to see me around". Jack crossed his arms on his chest his black eyes were gone, now there were dark blue eyes. He looked almost like a human. In his eyes, I could see hurt. What does he expect? How I should react when he is acting in that way. I didn't know what to say to him so there was left only silence for some seconds.-" You almost are never at home, do you think that all my life I will be waiting for you and crying in a hugging with Hope?" Hope is our cat he is very old but also he is my best friend. I don't re
-" You have sold me."It was the last words I could say to him. -"No I gave you him for free." He said easily but his words were now difficult to understand.I felt as my all hairs on the body stood up in one moment. My eyes became blurry suddenly I felt dizzy and couldn't hear what he is saying to me anymore, but then something changed. Quickly my vision became better, better than ever, my hearing became louder. My mind was working as clear as I remember, I knew that I can control my mind, I felt huge power on me. It made me feel good, strong, powerful. Jack was still talking, he was breathing to my face with his words. It was a knife to me but I understood everything, should it work in that way? soon I should forget everything? But I don't feel in that way as Rosemary was. I feel too good, did she feel the same? I am standing here still keeping his gaze, and feeling the connection to our minds, that power which he is sending through me, but it doesn't scare me anymore, i
The water was burning but it relaxed me. My mascara was all over my face so I reclined my head which was so heavy from my thoughts. When Jack was at home I never did my makeup because he said that my mother was naturally beautiful. He didn't understand why other girls put something on their faces. When Jack was out Mascara was my best friend. I took red lipstick. Yoyo's present for me, I never used it it is so bright. Jack would say that red lips make girls vulgar. I covered my lips with that wonderful color.It was strange now to touch my short hair when all my life it was long. Jack loved my long hair he said that my mother had the same just a little bit darker. He said that she was pure, sweet, strong, smart, and stupid at the same. I don't know why he thought in that way but he was smiling when he talked about her, so I suppose her stupidy was cute for him. All my life I tried to be like her but I never was enough. I never felt too good, too talented too sensitive, or
before 16 years agoJack's point of view:-"How long have you been watching me?" Lilliana suddenly asked me in a calm voice. She looked at me and waited for my answer.-"How long you know that I was watching you?" I was avoiding answering and looked away at the way I was driving. Instead of giving her information about me, I asked more about her. She narrowed her eyes and when she felt uncomfortable she was stroking that thing on her laps. I hate animals especially for those who I needed to rescue and to risk my own safety. This is my first saved animal so I hate as well as care for it because of Lilly. But I can't lie it was fun to kill those men, I can't remember when I had so much fun.- "Do you all the time answering with another question?" I couldn't help and smiled, she was smart.-"Not for a long time." I finally answered her first question. She won't give up until I will answer for her, would she? She a stubborn as well. I don't know why I was so o
- 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
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
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
