2024-10-29 19:42:56"Hey Alex, you need to see this" Josh waved over to Alex who was grabbing his lunch.
Alex sat beside him, looking around he noticed that everyone was looking down at their phones. "Dude look at this," Josh said pointing at his phone.
'Young girl found dead in woods behind North field High yesterday evening.'
-"It's all over the news, they said this girl was found dead in the woods behind the school, they said that she was brutally tortured and had like a billion cuts and bruises," Josh shrieked.
"Actually these past weeks there's been an increase in murder cases." Alex couldn't wrap his head around it, are these somehow linked with a large number of people suddenly moving into the town.
"Look there's a picture of the girl."
"She kinda looks familiar," Alex commented with furrowed brows
"Wait isn't she from the other school across town; she was dating some guy here. How unfortunate. " Alex knew his friend would figure

Josh knocked at Alex's door, Jamie answering. "Hey look who it is, it's my beautiful princess," Josh said as he went on knee kissing Jamie's hand. "Joshy," she said scruffling his curly brown locks.Josh laughed asking the small blonde where her brother was. She held Josh's hand leading him to Alex's bedroom where Alex was found laying on his bed barely even dressed."Thank you, your highness." Josh said kissing her hand one more time Alex smacking the boy on the head "Don't even think about it, she's my sister." He said as he sat back down on his bed.Josh got up looking at Alex who looked like he just woke up from a nap. "Why aren't you ready? And why are you in your underwear?" Josh asked with an annoyed frown on his freckled features."What do you mean, I am ready." He said grabbing a nearby pair of flip-flops. Josh just smacked the flip-flops out of his hand. "I'm not letting you in my car looking like that." He said pushing the blonde into the bathr

Alex gulped what was his hundredth cup. He was sitting on the couch, a girl in a witch’s costume was beside him, running a hand on his chest. He was completely consumed by the spell of the alcohol and could barely register what was going on. He ran a hand through his hair before the girl beside him moved from her seat and instead sat on Alex's lap, her arms wrapped around his shoulders.Through hooded eyes, Alex looked at the female, not sure he enjoyed her on his lap, and even with all the alcohol in his system he still didn't feel right doing this. The girls on the other hand were just as intoxicated and didn't wait to smash their lips together. Again Alex could taste alcohol and lipgloss from the person, and again he didn't like it but this time he didn't push away. He let his hands rest on her sides as she continued.After several minutes the girl pushed away and that's when Alex got her off him and stood. He wiped the link streak on his cheek whilst navigati

Alex instantly awoke, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead; his breathing was fast and so was his heart. He had a rather peculiar nightmare of people in long robes which he concluded to be just another weird dream. He got up, walking to the bathroom before taking a shower ridding him of all the sweat.His phone suddenly rang, his hand reaching out of the shower before he brought it to his ear. “Hello?”“Hey man I know you like Xavier and everything but could you do me a slight favor,” Josh said on the other side of the phone.Alex sighed. “What is it?”Sighing internally, Alex was pushed into the mall by his friend and two other females who he had never seen before. He had no idea why he let Josh drag him into this, the male was very persuasive. The group went into different shops admiring everything, Alex trying to act like cared every time his partner showed him something.They finally stopped in a little

“Xavier.”Alex’s voice was frail and quiet, almost near a whisper. His body shook vigorously, his head pounding violently. There was a slight ring in his ear from bashing his head so hard that he could barely make out what Xavier said.Relief still washed over him; he couldn’t help but cry into Xavier’s shirt. Xavier picked him off the ground and into his arms, Alex still shaking like a wet puppy.Starting at a gradual pace, Xavier began running, slowly the pace picking up till the surroundings were all but a blur.Suddenly Xavier leaped into the air, landing onto a sturdy branch of the treetops. Clenching his eyes shut, Alex refused to acknowledge the fact that they were feet above the ground and that his supposed savior leaped into the air like he was about to set off for flight.Alex held on tight as they moved from tree to tree, the ride not a very comfortable one, especially with his leg feeling like someone

"Alex, come down before your breakfast gets cold.""Be right down."Taking two steps at a time, Alex made his way down the stairs and walked into the kitchen where his family sat. His mum slid over his breakfast; a grin spread onto her face.Jamie was playing with her food, this making Alex smile as it always did. Why is she so cute? Alex frowning a bit at the thought of a boy having his hots for her.The vibrating of his phone on the table was what broke the peaceful atmosphere."I need to go before I’m late for school," he sighed, wishing that it was the weekend.Alex stood from the table, grabbing his bag and keys before planting a kiss on his mum and Jamie. He then left, sparing a glance at them happily sitting at the table. He closed the door but as he jumped into the car he found himself back inside.He stood in the living room, his eyes growing wide his heart dropping. He no longer saw his happy family seated whe

Walking down the bustling hallways, Josh looked down at his phone for the third time since leaving class that ended just minutes ago. His eyes glossed over the many unread messages he’d sent to Alex.A week had gone by and no word from Alex. He knew his friend well enough to know he’d never skip school, ever. He’d go on and on about how he hated it but never once skipped even when he was sick. So, to see Alex not skip just one day but an entire week of school, on top of ignoring his messages, worried him.Josh continued out of the school and into his car.Parking his car in front of Alex’s house, Josh jumped out of the car trying to call for Alex. Like the many times he tried before, he didn’t answer. Josh walked up to the door, knocking a few times but there was no answer. He knocked a few more times but yet again, nothing, this time the door slowly opening.Stepping inside, Josh was met with a literal dump. Thin

“Alex, I think it’s about time we tell you what’s going on.”Alex looked between Amber and Bianca, his hands unconsciously fisting. He wasn’t ready for the truth; he wasn’t for any of this. As curious as he was for answers, he wasn’t brave enough to hear it. He could already feel his head throb before they could begin.“Well, you’re a pureblood,” Bianca said, her arms crossing, her gaze meeting Alex’s. “And you happen to be the only one.”Alex gulped, “Does that mean I’m kinda like a chosen one or something?” He awkwardly laughed trying to dispel the slight pit forming in his stomach.“Kinda,” Amber smiled but it looked too forced for Alex’s liking.“Sadly, it’s the opposite,” Bianca said, “Your blood however is incredibly powerful, enough to resurrect vampires but that means many will do anything to get their di

At that moment, Alex felt his world crash down before him. His heart was thundering like a warhorse, his body frozen in place. The taste of bile was enough to make him gag at that very moment.There in Alaster’s arms was his best and only friend, drenched in blood, his neck still oozing, reduced to nothing but a still corpse. His hand dangled lifelessly, each finger bright red.Alaster took long strides to the couch to lay Josh down yet Alex had barely even moved. His eyes kept to the empty space before him, his mind refusing to process the information suddenly forced fed to him.Slowly he turned to look over his shoulder where Amber was healing Josh, the pit in his stomach sinking further. Why was Josh hurt? What had happened for his friend to be reduced to such a state?“Is he ok?” Alex managed in a low whisper, his breathing slowly picking up, feet stumbling to his best friend’s side. Amer still had her hands on his neck that wa

I could definitely get used to waking up like this. Alex was staring at Xavier’s sleeping form, watching the pale eyelashes tremble with each controlled breath. He looked so calm, so ethereal, the blearily light from outside making the vampire glow. He was tempted to caress the pale face but feared disturbing his sleep. He had awoken much earlier at the excitement of seeing Jamie after what felt like years, the thought jabbing at him to spring out of bed to start getting ready even if dawn had just broke. Instead, he burrowed into the arms already holding him, breathing in the heavenly scent and trying to convince himself that it wasn’t weird. They hadn’t labelled anything but surely whatever they had done allowed for his current actions now. If not, oh well. Alex eventually found sleep, awaking again at Xavier’s insistence. The sun seemed fully awake now though it was hard to tell with the heavy clouds plaguing the sky. They spent no time getting ready, walking downstairs to find

Alex’s drawn brows shot up in surprise, noticing the leaves now stuck in his friend’s hair and the dirt staining the not so obvious places on him. His freckled skin had patches of mud and his hair even seemed a little damp.“What, what happened?” Alex stuttered, trying his very hardest, to feel bad but finding it a tiny bit funny.“Xander that mother fucker. I just know it was him, he was the one to coincidentally find me, with some shit eating grin. And I had no fucking idea where we were so I had to accept his help!” Josh was basically screeching, Alex having to put his hand over his mouth to hide the wobbly smile fighting its way onto his face.“And then?”“THEN! He wanted compensation and said I should let him have a taste. What else could he taste!”Alex had to shake his head a bit when his ears rung. He took a deep breath, both trying to calm his amusement and also little worried at the almost crazed look on Josh’s face.“So uh, how does that lead to you screaming my name first

Alex watched as Xavier struggled to speak, ultimately saying nothing. Alex finally calmed himself, sitting up, Xavier giving him the space too. Alex kept his hand over Xavier’s, afraid that if he let go he wouldn’t get another chance to.Alex watched, Xavier now avoiding his gaze, almost as if he were ashamed. He hated seeing even a slither of such emotion being present with Xavier. He wanted to wipe the feeling away, make sure the other was never plagued by any of the negative feelings present.Alex was reminded of the day Xander had first appeared and how Xavier, for the first time he had ever seen, was expressive and now was the same. Just a different emotion.Mimicking the actions of earlier, Alex brought his forehead against Xavier’s forehead and this seemed to surprise him.“Alex,” Xavier finally spoke, shivers shaking Alex’s entirety.“I’m here,” Alex answered, his thumb caressing Xavier’s hand, comforting him in his own way.A particularly strong gust blew into the room tousli

A rose scent awoke Alex, his eyes squinting at the harsh sunlight beating down on him. He shifted, sitting up from his grassy bed, endless fields of swaying weeds filling his vision. The scent grew stronger, calming his mind and relaxing his body. Alex stood, looking around soon identifying a woman not too far from him. Her midnight black hair danced in the sun, her back turned to him. He walked towards her, his bare feet carrying him forward but he made no progress in his journey. The longer he walked, the faster he came to the realization that he wasn’t going to get any closer so he stopped, watching the mysterious figure. As if only sensing him now, she turned, her piercing amber eyes stabbing into the depths of his soul. She watched him just as he watched her. A light smile graced her features, one that blossomed her beauty to an immeasurable level. She mouthed something but no words left her rosy lips. Before anything else could happen, she vanished with the breeze, Alex gaspin

Shifting awake, Alex pried open an eye only for his heart to launch itself at the sight of Josh staring wide eyed at him. With a click of his tongue to let his annoyance be known, he let his hand run over his face, drawing his brows at the other who held off the intense look to instead turn to face the ceiling.“Last time I was up first , Xander was standing there ready to bite our heads off,” Josh said, Alex letting out an annoyed mumble.“So, you waited till I got up first, no you woke me up with that stupid ass stare of yours, just so I could lose my head first?” Alex grumbled, his voice grating against his throat, taking satisfaction when the other flinched away at his bad breath.Sitting up, Alex scanned the room, making sure there was no vampire ready suck em dry before jabbing at Josh’s head.“He’s not here,” Alex spoke, throwing his legs over the edge of the bed, stretching his back and sighing at the pop. As satisfying as that was, he just wished he could have a decent night

Sitting up with a groan, Josh turned to look at Alex who was staring intently at something. Turning to focus on what it was, Josh had to squint quite a bit to make out a figure standing just at the start of the forestry, his white hair the only thing to identify the man.Really anything else was too far for him to see.He threw his friend another glance, knowing that their spar was definitely over now. Giving an encouraging pat to his love sick friend, Alex gave him a parting head nod and like that he watched the other walk off, almost in envy.How nice it must be to like someone that much and have it reciprocated.He didn’t know where he stood with Alaster. Spending more time with the male hadn’t changed anything, if anything he’d just grown to respect the vampire more but romantically it sat at something he was happy not pursuing.At least that’s what he told himself.He wasn’t so sure he’d be as lucky as Alex and he was still dipping his toes in the deep pool of genuinely liking so

“What if that dude actually eats me or something.” Josh finally confessed in a quiet voice.Alex was silent for a while before humming in acknowledgment. Amber had said the vampire wouldn’t hurt Josh but he chose not to entirely trust her. Not yet at least. Xander was just as strong as Xavier, what was holding the vampire back from harming any of them in Xavier’s absence?Josh slammed him with a pillow at his silence, Alex finally letting out a laugh. Getting out an agreement through his giggles, he finally calmed, falling back onto the covers.“Man, it’s been a while since I’ve slept on a bed,” Alex sighed, Josh, now silently staring at Alex.“I don’t mind you taking the floor,” Josh said, Alex shushing him with a pillow to the face.“As if, you just want the bed to yourself don’t ya.”*Xavier had returned to sitting at the edge of the bed when a rough knock came at the door, interrupting the deadly silence of the room. Before the person could even open the door, a deep scowl had al
Love Bites Chapter 51
Alex stood in front of Xavier door, trying to calm the bubbling nerves cooking inside him. Xavier was much less intimidated when he acted like a drunk kitten but after the whole ordeal that transpired just minutes ago, well that kitten just turned to a ferocious lion.Alex raised his hand to knock on the door only to drop it again and ruffle his hair.Come on, there’s nothing to scared of. Yeah. He’s only just really mad after encountering the person he seems to really despise after only recovering from some once in a thousand-year sickness type of thing. Yeah, its totally fine!Alex bit his lip, ready to yank his hair from all the overthinking.You’re overreacting, just go in.Taking the deepest breath that made him a bit tipsy, Alex finally knocked on the door. It was a bit quiet but he still knocked. There wasn’t an answer for a while and Alex was sure Xavier hadn’t heard him.As he was debating whether to knock again or just leave, the door swung open and there Xavier stood, tower
Love Bites Chapter 50
Brother?Xavier has a twin Brother!As those words left the strangers mouth, his crazy orange hair gradually turned a shiny black that was on par to a new moon’s midnight, the chains once holding him dropping to the ground producing a dull sound that caused Alex to flinch.Xavier’s expression had no changes. As if silently agreeing to the notion.Xavier has a brother!Alex felt dizzy from the sudden information slammed at him, his brain taking a few minutes to reboot itself.Now brazenly staring at the so-called brother, Alex scanned the others features, squinting his eyes to make sure he wasn’t imagining all this. Only now that the announcement was made did the others featured subtly change to one that looked exactly like Xavier’s.They weren’t just any twins, they were identical! How was someone who looked as pure and holt as Xavier, closely related to someone who was very likely to be the spawn of Satan. It didn’t take a genius to figure that this brother was up to no good.Questio
