The Human

*Luka’s pov* -One year later- “Luka, dude, get your ass out of bed!” I groaned as Caleb tried to get me out of bed for the umpteenth time today. I grabbed a pillow and chucked it in his direction, hitting him square in the face. A small smile took over my lips as he huffed in annoyance. “Come on, man. I’m taking you out of town to have some fun. You need it,” He said, and I knew damn well that he’d be back if I didn’t oblige. Sighing, I gave in to his plea and reluctantly left the bed. I had to resist the urge to roll my eyes at his behavior after he shot me a victorious smile.

Victoria’s pov“NO!” I shouted as I dived, sliding on my chest just in time to catch his hand.I blew out a breath once my grip was firm around his wrist, but I already felt the bruise forming on my chest. After bracing myself, I grabbed him with my other free hand so I didn’t slide off the cliff with him. I peered over the edge at him, seeing that he was unconscious. That explained why he was heavier and quieter than I expected. He must have hit his head when I grabbed his hand. With a huff, I dragged him up over the edge, ignoring the shock of pain that ran through my chest.Yep, it’s bruised.After successfully pulling him onto flat land, I laid beside him to catch my breath. I felt like I ran a marathon. But, I didn’t mind, knowing I saved Luka. I glanced at him, seeing how peaceful he looked in his unconscious state.‘Well, what now?’, I thought as I hoisted myself up on my elbows to get a better look at him. I pondered on whether to take him to the hospital, but unlike any sane

Victoria’s pov Remember when I said that I loved a challenge? Well, I take it back. This challenge has been more complicated than I initially thought, and I was losing hope. It has been two weeks since my first encounter with Luka, and I haven’t seen him since. I assumed he was simply avoiding me. We exchanged text messages now and then, but it was mostly ‘Hi. How are you? Goodnight’ texts. I tried calling him a few times, but it either went to voicemail, or he would answer, talk for two minutes, and then give an excuse to hang up. I hate appearing like a pushy, annoying female, so I gave it a test. I asked him to meet me at Winter’s Park today at 4 in the afternoon. He didn’t answer my message, but I knew he had received it. If he comes, I’ll have a little chat with him and see if we should continue this ‘friendship’ because it feels one-sided. If he doesn’t come, I’ll just forget everything and move on with the bit of dignity I have left. I bobbed my head to the song on the ra

Luka's pov "Did you do it?" My mom asked, just as I stepped inside. "Yes mom I ended what ever friendship I had with the human" That was how they addressed her. It's not like she saved my life or anything, but they wouldn't know that. Before I got back two weeks ago, everyone was drop dead worried about me. I didn't get why, I'm a grown ass man. But apparently Ty made everyone think that I was in danger. After I got back, my mom was the first to speak that I 'reeked' of a human. I told them the lie I told Caleb and they bought it. They didn't like the part about me agreeing

  Victoria's pov Luka was tense the whole way. It was like he was already regretting letting me stay with him. All he told me was that he lived with his brother, sister and two friends, Caleb being one of them. I was confused as to why he invited me to stay with him and then was having second thoughts. "You know if you're having second thoughts..." I dragged, giving him a hint. He glanced at me then shook his head. "No it's okay. It's the least I can do since you saved my life" Well I haven't completely saved it yet. I simply smiled, telling him thanks silently but said nothing else. The ride was long and deep in the woods. He wasn't lying wh
