Dangerous Pearls

Chapter 16

I walked out of the cold stone building before I remembered to take a look at myself in the mirror to make sure that my face did not look like I had been crying even though I had. It was just not everybody's buisness to know. I looked around to see if I could spot Matt and my bike.

I was able to do so quickly as he was talking to this pale looking gil with platinum blonde hair. She wore red lipstick, heavy makeup, a really tight crop top with a black leather jacket. She paired that with a leopard color mini skirt and boot heels. When I got closer, I noticed she had a double chin and strange but beautiful silver eyes. I noticed the drawl in her voice, which made me believe that she was from the south.

"Hey Matt" I said drawing closer to them unttil I was right next to Matt.

"Here" he said handing me the keys to my bike but still staring at the girl.

"Where is it?" I asked annoyed with his behviour. Had he really moved on from Maia that quickly? It had only been two months for crying out loud!

"So are you taking me?" The girl asked completely ignoring my presence.

"Of course I am Jasmine" Matt replied also ignoring me.

I decided I was just going to find my bike on my own. With or without him. He had left it right outside the garage, so it wasn't hard to find.

I got on my bike steaming with my anger at Matt but I figured I had other things to do besides watching and getting mad at Matt. He was probably looking for a way to release tension and he must have felt the only way to do so was with another girl. I should not even be complaining because I had already got a new room mate. I did not mean to replace Maia, and that was not even possible cause she was my best friend since I was in diapers. Maia will always be in my heart and I would never dream of replacing her because I loved her, I still love her.

I thought for a bit as I looked at Jasmine and Matt talking and laughing before putting on my helmet and driving home. On my way home, I kept thinking of how I would break the news to her. I knew she would probably be angry that I had not told her, scred that she was living with a vampire, insecure because she would always feel that I would come for her due to hunger and she would not trust me anymore. 

As I got onto the high way, I became calmer as the breeze came in contact with my skin in a playful manner. I kept driving and I seemed to be the only person on the highway. I wondered if I was in a vision. It was dangerous to be in a vision and driving at the same time because even though I was still a vampire, I did not know how my body and biology had been messed with and I did not want to find out by experience.

I tried to stop the bike but it didn't stop. I tried and tried but it did not stop moving. I tried to jump off the bike but I could not do that either. I started panicking because it felt like I was stuck to the bike. Even my hands could not move anymore. Why did I have to be the one who had to get stuck with this curse? I started crying and sweating and I hoped I would not encounter any one on the high way and that I would arrive safely in my house.

I felt the world around me change and then suddenly I was still on a high way but I was now surrounded by cars again. I was on the wrong lane and I felt blinded by the headlight of a car. Because of the lights, I couldn't see the car or the driver. I could hear the defeaning sound of the car horn signifying that I should change lanes but I could not because the bike was stuck on that lane.

Suddenly, my bike became faster and it was if not that my hands were stuck to the bike, I would have flown off. My heart now seemed to sound louder and faster than the environment around me. The cars and trees now looked like colored lines and I felt dizzy and sick. The light seemed closer now and I hoped it would turn lanes but it didn't. SUddenly I felt the car collide with my body creating a thud as I was knocked onto the side of the road and the bike fell on top of me with a smash and with a lot of forcE.

I felt like my hand had been broken into a million tiny pieces and I could not move it at all as it felt as heavy as a truck. I felt like someone had stapled my forehad and knives had been stuck a million times into my abdomen. I felt some warm sticky liquid that would probably be blood on my lip and leg. I couldn't move my head so I couldn't see what my currently horror-feeling body looked liike. 

I felt dizzy and had a splitting headache. I felt sick, and felt like I would die as I hoped someone would find me and help though that was doubtful especially if the person who was doing wanted me dead. I felt the world around me spin quickly, and my eyes felt heavy as the world around me suddenly dissolved into darkness and my body felt numb.
