CHAPTER 4

"It's a really is a pity."

—No! —My father's hands hold me back as I wake up frightened —D—Dad?

—It's me. —He hugs me when he sees me trembling. —Serena, what's wrong, are you... pale?

Seeing my hands that won't stop shaking, I realize that I was drawing too much attention from my father, but remembering what happened in the forest terrifies me with fear, "It was him, a vampire" my father lulls me in his arms to calm me down.

I can't do more than think about what happened to me, what happened was so vivid that my heart stops for fear of knowing what vampires were living in front of us, my life and my father's life is in danger with those people here.

—Listen daughter, I have to go back to the police headquarters. Do me a favor, don't go out at night anymore and much less to the forest, I told you before it's dangerous. It was fortunate that Antton Baltimore was hunting near where you were.

—H—Hunting?

Of course he was hunting, he killed a boy from my class without mercy and he was about to do it with me, what I wondered is, what happened? Why am I still alive if he attacked me and was feeding on me?

My father stands up and was about to leave but my hands grabbed his jacket to stop him from leaving, he smiles warmly, kisses my forehead and tells me he will be back as soon as he can, I laughed dumbly because I am not like that. I apologized and he left, but not before repeating the same thing about not going out anymore.

As I looked out the window I saw my father's car driving away until it disappeared from my sight, I didn't want to look at that car but my stupid impulse made me see it anyway, everything looked normal, nothing out of the ordinary or so I thought until I saw him again, every beat of my heart was like drums, a cold sweat trickles down my forehead while my throat dries up completely when I see a crooked smile on his face.

I wanted to move away from the window but my feet don't move, it's like I'm glued to the ground, I close my eyes to follow the eye contact, I keep them that way for a few minutes and when I open them, he was gone. My heart calms down when I don't see him

—I need to eat and sleep. —I mumble tiredly

—Well if that's the case, you should invite me then.

I fall sitting on the floor when I see Antton in my room, I recoil in fright and try to run away as I rush out the door but out of nowhere he was already in front of me. His eyes flash as he approaches and I back away.

—So it didn't work out after all. —I fall down sitting on the edge of my bed —So... what do I do with you? because... I can't risk anyone knowing about us.

—I won't say anything... I swear.

He climbs on top of me, his breath hits my lips. My arms fail to support me as his lips brush mine "What... is this? I feel the fear melt away as his hand slides from my stomach slowly upward.

—Do you not look terrified anymore...or do you Serena.

—What... what did you do to me?

—What are you talking about? —I close my eyes because I'm fucking enjoying it! Something has definitely done something to me. —You're... a bad girl, you want me... that's why you're reacting this way.

—That's not...

—Shh! —I pass saliva when his hand changes direction, he had unfastened my bra, he slides it under my blouse and smiles as he shows it to me —Shouldn't you be attracted to someone your age? —His lips felt good on my neck until I felt two needles pierce my skin. —Innocence...

For some reason, this time it wasn't like the memory I have from the forest, this time, I wanted him to keep doing it, I didn't want him to pull away from me. His manonderecha kept touching my body without permission, my breasts were uncovered when he took off my shirt.

—Ask for it...

His voice was exciting for me, I don't know what was happening to me, I am out of myself, I have no control of my body and much less of my mind, I am excited because my neighbor, the one who almost killed me is touching me and the worst thing is that he was wishing he could make me his.

—Dumb and naïve girl... from now on, you belong to me.

I feel empty when he walks away from me, "But what the hell is wrong with him because he walked away at the best time?". He keeps watching me so I react immediately and put on my shirt, my face burning too much from the embarrassment I'm feeling right now.

—What...what do you mean...you own me?

He grabs my chin forcing me to look him in the eyes.

—Your blood, it's delicious, probably because you're a virgin. —I'm sure my face turned as red as a tomato, "How did you know? —Something unusual indeed, so you are my slave, my personal blood bank.

—You won't kill me?

—No. As long as you're useful to me.

I was about to say something when Antton disappeared, it was so fast I didn't even blink when he was gone. I ran to my mirror and looked for any marks on my neck, I thought there would be holes in my neck but there was nothing, until I noticed something strange on the back of my neck, I couldn't see it so I reached for my hand mirror.

—But what the hell....

I had a strange mark, like a small tattoo, I tried to erase it but I couldn't remove it with anything. "What did he do to me?".

It was eight in the morning, Dad had arrived at six, just in time to take me to high school. I had to wear my hair down so he wouldn't see the mark, I said goodbye to him and rushed into the facilities, when I saw my classroom, a gust of wind passed in front of me, when I opened my eyes, I saw Dalton looking at me in a threatening way, his hand goes around my neck and starts to squeeze it.

—What have you done, stupid girl?
