They Are Not Ordinary

CHAPTER 8

DAMIEN LOCKWOOD

"Why did you disappear for like a whole month?" Zachary asked as soon as we got home from the lame school, we are in the living room chilling. "After we go hunting that night you never came back"

"I have my own personal reasons" I shrugged, I really don't want to tell him because he will be mad at me again.

"You saved her didn't you?" Zachary eyed me intently.

Yes, they can read everyone's mind but the only one they couldn't read is mine.

"Yes, so what?" I lamely countered.

"I told you not to!" Zachary yelled as he slammed his fist on the table. I was surprised that it didn't break. "I already warned you, she is already suspicious to us that's why I told you not to save her!"

"What am I suppose to do? let her die like that?" I shouted back. " I don't want to watch people die by those ugly creatures,"

"No! you don't want her to be killed because you are interested in her!!" Zachary argued "Now you risk our lives again. the wolfs are coming to find us again because you already killed one kind of them"

"it's not because I'm interested in her it's because I want to save the life of humans" I reasoned, but I know to myself I am lying. In centuries I never have been more interested in a girl.

"We both know that is bullshit" Zachary barked as he stood up grabbing my collar his eyes turning red "I'm done with your bullshits Damien, I am so tired of protecting you and warning you all the time not to mess with the wolves when we are in their territory and now that girl will know who we really are!"

"Woah Woah guys take it down a notch please. stop yelling at each other" Claude pleaded while trying to get in between us but he couldn't because Zachary's free hand is blocking him.

"You are the reason why we have to keep hiding for our whole lives!" Zachary added before dropping me to the couch as he walked away from me. "Why you couldn't act like a normal teenager and simply obey our father's rules by just going to school and no any other thing! it's just so simple Damien! so simple!"

"What you are going away again to tell our father?!" I called him out making him stop in his tracks.

"No I won't tell you, this your problem and you are going to fix this, Vincent has done enough for us" Zachary muttered trying to calm himself because he don't want to hurt us, he gave me one last look before disappearing in a blink.

"Now you have done it again Damien," Claude said while he shook his head in disbelief before he disappeared too, following Zachary.

I throw the pillow at the couch angrily.

Damn it. why is everything like this for me?

ASHTER STARR

Okay, I lied when I said I was gonna confront Damien about this whole thing I research about yesterday. It is hard because the subject is about determining the person whether they are a vampire or not and that is not the subject you can confront with people every day.

I sighed as now I walk to the familiar steps to the school struggling to keep my eyes open I say I made my way to the locker. I'm having a hard time sleeping lately, well, since I've moved to this town, I don't know why but it's very hard to sleep at night, it's so freaking cold and I constantly feel like someone is watching me, which is strange and terrifying. But I'm sure we all feel that way from time to time. And sometimes when I wake up at like 2:30 in the morning, I will see that my window is open which is weird because I always close my windows before I sleep. I simply thought it was just my mom and dad but I honestly doubted it was them. But I rather think of that reason because I don't want to think about the creep watching me sleep.

It's been my fourth week here, making it an official month since I've started at this school and since well you know, Damien. By this point, I didn't know what to believe or conclude. Maybe I hallucinated all of it... No that couldn't be it.

It's been one month so I thought people would get tired of me already but I would still get the occasional stares and guys are coming up to me to see if I was single or not. It didn't necessarily bother me as much as it did in the beginning.

"Hey, b***h hold up!" I heard Jane called out as she jogged up to me I smiled and briefly stopped for her to catch up then continue walking alongside.

"Hey what's up queen Jane" I greeted with a smile even though it has only been a month I can only say I and the dark skinned girl had gotten rather close of course with Aliana and Sophie just behind.

"I can't believe we've only been here one month, it's weird how fast time passes huh?" Jane said as she linked our arms together. I laughed a little before moving away so I could get to my locker.

"Yeah I know right, it feels so surreal. It doesn't even feel like I've been here for a month in all honesty" I transfer some of my training stuffs for late and I took my essential things, I briefly look at the mirror to check if my makeup was alright but I totally look like a zombie, I have this huge bags under my eyes. I sighed before slamming my locker shut.

"Hey, are you alright? why do you look like you are always miserable" she asked concerned and I waved her off.

"Yeah yes it's okay I'm fine don't worry about me" I assured her. I want to talk to her about Damien but at the same time I don't, because I don't know maybe she will tell him and he will know that I am asking for him, that's just weird, so maybe I should go talk to him personally by myself.

"Yeah sure, you're alright like you're not looking that you're about to pass out" Jane sarcastically said before getting something in her backpack and handed me water. "Drink. this will help"

"Thank you" I smiled as I took the bottle of water in their hands and immediately emptied it

"Damn girl I didn't know you were that thirsty" She chuckled as I finished drinking the whole bottle. "Anyways did you eat breakfast? because if you don't I can come with you?"

"No it's alright I already ate breakfast from home" I waved my hand at her dismissively and she nodded understandingly as we walked to the hallway.

"Well, we will part ways here, thank you for walking with me" I smiled at her as I stood in front of the door of my class, I peeked through the small gap at the door and saw a bunch of kids chatting and messing around as classes didn't begin yet.

"Of course anything for you pretty faces" She winked before she hugged me one last time "I'll see you at lunch"

"See yah" I shouted as Jane started to walk away.

As soon as I walk inside the room I scan for the whole place for a certain boy but I didn't see him so I thought that maybe he was late again. I frowned my eyes because I didn't saw Claude and Zachary, those two boys are always early, maybe something happened...

Oh well, that's not my problem and why am I thinking of them geez. I shooked my head and started to walk to my assigned seat. I momentarily dropped my gaze to my watch to check how many minutes were left before class. Only 10 minutes left before it started so I took my book from my backpack and use my spare time reading. After a few minutes, the boy that I was looking for came in.

To be honest I was surprised when the bell doesn't ring yet we only have like 3 minutes and Damien is already here this is the first time I ever saw him get early in class.

Just as the teacher walk in the bell rang, I watched her as she put down her things and greeted us before starting her lecture.

When she finished teaching us our lesson for today she assigned us to do something individually.

When I finally got to work, an annoying kid in front of me started bothering me by throwing papers at me. At first, I let it go but when it hit me right at my face I

"Can you please stop that, I'm working on something" I mumbled as nicely as I could but he continued and proceed to throw more papers at me.

"What the heck? what is your problem? I'm freaking serious stop" I growled at him as I collected all the papers from the ground and threw them back at him, all at once.

He just laughed and still continue to throw paper said at this time I was so livid, but I calm myself. I wasn't going to tell him a few times we're in high school and we're not kids anymore. If I wasn't that nice I would beat the s**t out of this stupid boy.

"How many times does she have to tell you, she said stop bruh" I heard someone groaned directly behind me. Like always my body got chills and sent shivers down my spine whenever I hear that voice.

The boy immediately stopped and looked at Damien. I turn around to see Damian is glaring at the boy to death.

"What you going to about it freak?, I'll mess with whoever I want" the boy smugly said, Damien's eyes narrowed, and to be honest I was scared. boy's eyes grew to fear and immediately turn around began doing his work and began doing his work.

I slowly looked at him and notice that he's gripping his ballpen tightly making his knuckles white. I watch him as he closes his eyes trying to calm himself, he looks like he is in pain. I cautiously lean forward and then I gently placed my hand on the top of his. I immediately gasped as soon as I felt his skin I feel like I was touching a block of ice. his hands are super cold. His eyes snapped up at me, he looked at me with wide eyes. He yanked his hands away and bolted to the door.

"Mr. Lockwood!" the teacher stood up and chase for him, everyone was looking at each other with confused faces. Then they look at me as I sat there with my mouth slightly open in shock. It's like they were expecting me to tell them why did Damien bolt out of the room. I couldn't even process what happened.

"Oh shut up guys it's none of your business" I rolled my eyes at them. " just look away and get back to work you stupid people" I whispered the last part only I can hear it.

"Damn what did this girl do to make him run away like that"

"Yeah I don't like him run away like that and to be honest I saw that he was kinda scared"

I heard someone whispered to their friend but I ignore it.

I wondered why, but then I remembered Aliana and Sophie told me about a kid who almost died because he touched him. Maybe he really doesn't like people touching him. it was all my fault why did he ran away like that.

But I couldn't remove in my mind how cold he is when I touched him. My eyes slowly look towards the door. Today I'm going to find out and confront him. today I'm going to find out who you really are Damien.
