The Girl Who Ran

Chapter 4

Elena

    Anger keeps building up inside me and I have no control over it. I'm not even sure why I am so angry but I can't help it. I'm not sure where this anger is coming from...but it is coming from somewhere. 

    They keep whispering about me turning into something that's never existed before...blah, blah, blah and something about my eyes. What the hell about them?!

    Ughh...what is that awful high-pitched noise? It is giving me a headache. Which is just making me more angry.

    Lydia walks out the door and Ric, I think that's what he said his name is, starts to slowly come towards me, but then quickly stops in his tracks.

     More anger fills my lungs the more he stands there staring. The anger is radiating throughout my body. 

    "What are you looking at?!" I scream.

     He looks down and puts his hands behind his back. "You need to calm down, you know? You're going to pass out if you don't. Trust me, been there. Done that."

    I look at him in confusion which makes me angrier. Is he trying to make me hate him? If so, it's working.

    All of a sudden I'm hit with a dose of drowsiness. My legs become weak and my vision blurs as I fall to the floor. Suddenly I feel arms catch me before I hit the floor. I look up to see a blur of black hair and green eyes.

    Alaeric caught me. 

    Then everything went dark.

Alaeric

    I saw all the signs. I ran as fast as lightning, no faster than lightning and caught her in my arms before she kissed the floor.

    I carry her to my bed, lay her down, and pull the covers up to her neck. Man, I have been carrying her a lot lately, I laugh.

    I walk out to the living room and turn on the TV. I look over to the clock lying on top of the chestnut bookshelf across the room. It's four in the morning! It turn my attention back to the television with my eyes open wide. I scroll and scroll down through the shows and movies until finally I find "Family Guy" and begin watching it. I laugh until dawn.

    When eight o'clock comes around, I walk back to my bedroom and stand over Elena. She really is beautiful, even when she is sleeps. She looks so peaceful. Her long eyelashes flutter as her eyes begin to move. She's slowly awakening as if she senses someone watching her.

    I back up at least a foot from the bed, giving her some space. She's probably going to be furious because I wasn't fast enough to save her from that bastard. I wonder how scared she was when the vampyre chased her and sucked the blood from her body. She probably thought she was dying when she started to black out. It breaks my heart to even think about someone hurting her and I don't even know her.

    Finally her eyes open, she stares at the ceiling for a couple minutes and then slowly turns her head towards me. A tear slid ever so slowly down her cheek, that it bruised my heart.

    "It hurts..." She says as she let out a loud sob. 

    I walk over to her unconsciously and sit down next to her. I slowly make my way to put my hand on hers to comfort her. I couldn't stand to see her hurt. 

    What is up with these feelings? 

    Her skin is so soft and her eyes quickly change to silver. My eyes open wide in shock. She sees the look on my face and sharply pulls her hand out from under mine.    

    "What the f**k is up with you guys and staring at me like that?!" She screams.

    Her eyes begin to change again, they're red. What the actual f**k? First they're violet, then they turn silver and now red? What is going on?

    "I...I'm sorry. It's just that your eyes turned silver and then turned red. They're red right now." I explain hoping to appease her.

    Shocked she pulls the cover over her head and begins to cry.
