ROSE I ran andwouldn’t stop running until I was out of that godforsaken auditorium and offthe damn schoolgrounds. It should havehit me sooner, why didn’t I even suspect it. I had smelt it on him but he hidit so well… so so well. He had these inhumanly golden eyes and this piercingcharismatic aura that captured me. Captured me without even trying. I figuredhe was just really hot, that it was because he was different and new to me. Washe stringing me along this whole time? Did he hypnotise me? Were my feelingsfor him even real? It shouldhave been, I mean, days afterwards I couldn’t even stop thinking about him.And… vampiric powers aren’t supposed to work on other vampires. He wasfollowing me. I wanted to run more even though I didn’t know why. I guess Ijust felt so cheated by him for so
