His vampire mate

PROLOGUE~ Mystic hills may seem like an ordinary town but it's far from it, when I first moved here I thought it was just a town like any other and Me being my optimistic self decided I’d give it a chance,not like I had much of a choice anyways. But boy was I wrong, this town is far from what I'd thought it was. It's a place full of mystery and there is danger lurking at each and every corner and I’m certain nothing and no one is safe from it's haunting and frightening claws and I do mean that literally. And the fact that I only came to this realization after a whole month of living here beats me. ~~~~~~ I just transferred to mystic hills high mid year and since I just recently moved here making friends has been a little challenging for me and my little brother, well him better than me because he’s lucky enough to have mates that aren't obnoxious teens like mine. I've always been anti social and fitting into any school here in the US has been a little hard for me and Moving to a small remote town where everyone each other hasn’t helped my situation much. I’ve kept to myself since moving here two weeks ago because other than me being a little anti social everyone at the school with an exception of the student body,who let me mention also act weird, is either pretending to be too cool or too busy to talk to anyone who isn’t already in their circle and I actually like it like it that way. I’m not one to make connections with people after moving somewhere new because we don’t really stay anywhere long enough for me to do so anyways. my dad moved our entire family from Zambia to the US after my mom died 3 years ago. He(my dad) is real estate agent and he’s always moving us from one state to another, “wherever his services are needed” he puts it. Before here we only ever moved to big towns and they were all much easier to blend right in cause no one cared about anyone, everyone was busy with their city lives. And the schools were the typical American high schools but the kids there also lived their own lives no one payed much attention to new kids like you see in the movies I didn’t even get bullied or anything so fitting in wasn’t as much an Issue as it is in this little town. The only person I talk to around here is Mr Brown; this old man that walks his dog the same time I walk to school, he's really friendly and his dog is the cutest. I like them both they sort of bring some excitement to this boring little town ,well I thought it was boring but boy do I now wish that were true. I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off, I slowly got up and grudgingly walked to my closet already dreading the day ahead I really wasn’t s morning person. I was so glad it was my last year of high school, really won’t miss any of it I when I finally graduate! I took out my black oversized Tupac hoodie and a pair of black jeans and walked to my bathroom to shower. I took a quick shower and got out looking myself in my full body mirror; big black eyes stared back at me I was a small girl standing at about 5”3 on a good day and a measly 5”1 on a not so good day. My personality is at 6”3 though I have a slim waist and wide hips, just enough boobs to compliment my figure and of course I have an ass on me. I love my body but I’m not one to flaunt it, I opted for a more comfortable looks of big tees, hoodies and jeans or sweats. My dark brown skin shimmered from the not yet dry water and it reminded me of when the lunch lady at my previous high school called it “golden” and I smiled to myself like an i***t. I have very bushy brows that are in great need of threading, long eyelashes that one would think were false, a nose that I always thought was too small for my face I had full lips and my hair that took most of my time to style when getting ready every morning thanks to its stubborn strands lay neatly on my head thanks to the knotless braids i had done the night before, it took me 7 whole hours! Okay maybe 8 I did take breaks to concentrate on juicy parts on stranger things and if you count the bathroom breaks, let’s just be glad I finished okay! I dried myself, applied my cocoa butter lotion like I was in one of those lotion commercials, put on my undies and bra and put on a white tank top and then my NASA hoodie and jeans and paired them with black and white converse. I put on some concealer, mascara and some clear lip gloss cause I do love me a glossy lip! I gave myself a last look and decided I looked gooooood, took my school bag and rushed down the stairs but not before banging on kians room to wake him up of course. He threw something on the door like always and I knew he was up . I quickly got to the kitchen and when I got there My dad was seated on a stool by the kitchen island reading the paper with a cup of coffee on the side “Good morning papa” I called out “Good morning Laika, hope you slept alright you look beautiful mama, a new oversized hoodie?” He chuckled when saying the last part. I sheepishly smiled, “I slept fine papa did you?, and yes you can never go wrong with a hoodies... plus, it makes me feel gangsta” I stated while chuckling and grabbing the ingredients to make mine, his and Kians breakfast. “Oho” my dad said with a small laugh I smiled at him and started on breakfast while he continued reading his paper. I was finished with breakfast within a few minutes and placed the scrambled eggs, bacon, toast and juice on the table and begun to eat. “Hmmm, it all looks so good” said my dad while putting some eggs on his plate “It’s just eggs and bacon papa” I said chuckling “Well eggs and bacon have never looked so good” he said with a smile. Before I could respond Kian walked into the kitchen looking like a zombie like always. “Good morning little bro!” I beamed at him. He glared at me and just walked to the fridge to pour himself some juice then sat opposite from where I sat and then finally spoke; “is there anything ever good about mornings Malaika!?” He said, dragging the word Malaika dramatically. “I wish I could sleep till noon but no I have to go to school and I can’t even pretend to over sleep cause you are always up early enough to disturb my much needed sleep” he looked at me like he could eat me alive and I just laughed “Kia, I’m sorry for waking you up so early tomorrow I’ll be sure to wake you up at least five minutes later than I did today okay?” I chuckled, “And anyways you wouldn’t hate waking up this early if you got enough sleep instead of staying up late playing those video games of yours” he gave me a wtf look and I realized why when dad spoke “Kian! You’re still staying up late after I specifically told you to not play after 9pm!?” My dad said looking away from his paper “Okay I’m off to school now” I said standing up placing my plate and cup in the sink after realizing I’d ratted my little brother out. He just gave me a “I’ll get you for this look” while I give him a hug and he tried to push me off but I held him tight and give him a kiss on the cheek that he immediately rubbed of muttering a “yuck”I then hugged my dad and gave him a kiss goodbye and walked out before I got caught in their little scuffle. ~~~~~~~~~~~ School was 5 and a half songs away from my house which is like 15 minutes for all you normal people. I didn’t see Mr Brown today which meant I was a little early and I dreaded it because I was looking forward to seeing him and daisy his dog. I got to school and was glad to see only a few students there cause that meant less stares than I usually got for some weird reason but I ignored always. I walked to my English class and just read the book we’d been asked to read for this week while I listened to more music on my phone. A few minutes later students started walking in a I paid no mind to the glances I got till I was pulled out from my little world when I saw a beautiful girl with Snow White skin, rosy lips and red hair with the most beautiful Hazel eyes I’d ever seen looking at me she kept getting closer to where I was and her mouth was moving but I couldn’t get what she was saying till I remembered I had earphones on. I slowly took them out to see if she was talking to me and indeed she was “Hi” she said , “Uh hello” I said with a smile . “Sorry but you’re in my seat, that’s okay though I haven’t been to school in a few weeks and it’s okay you can take it I’ll find somewhere else to sit. I just wanted to introduce myself, I’m molly, like the drug but stronger” she said with a wink. I had to resist a laugh and settled for a smile “Hi Molly stronger than the drug I’m Malaika. Sorry for taking your seat, no one told me it was taken and I can be the one to move it’s fine really” I said smiling “Girl don’t worry about it! I’ll find another seat, hell I’ve wanted to sit next to Kyle for a while and now I can cause the seat next to him is the only empty one right now” she said gesturing to an empty desk.“I love your accent by the way, where are you from?” She asked, “Thank you; I’m originally Zambian but I moved to the US about 3 years ago and been in mystic hills for almost 2 months now” I told her honestly “That’s so cool” she said beaming with excitement while pulling a chair to sit on I just smiled awkwardly at her I didn’t know what else to talk about “So how are you liking mystic hills so far? I know it can be hell sometimes for new kids and you must have been lost but I’m here now” she said with a huge grin on her face I couldn’t resist the smile forming on my face her energy was contagious! Before I could reply we were stopped by someone clearing their throat and we turned to look at the tall guy I’ve gotten to know is Mitch whom I usually sit next to. “Oh hi Mitch! Sorry I was just talking to my new friend Ma...uhm” she looked at me apologetically “Malaika, I said with an understanding smile“Uh yes Malaika, can I call you Laika instead? Good yeah I was just getting to know Laika, you wouldn’t be keen on sitting somewhere else for today so we can finish our little chat would you?” She asked with a pleading grin on her face.No. Now move summerfield” Mitch simply said. “And this attitude is why you’ll never get a girlfriend” Molly told Mitch to which he played no mind. “anyways, Laika I’ll talk to you after class yeah?” She said to me “See you later! My love whom I’ll probably never have awaits” she said while getting up to seat next to the guy Kyle who was quite good looking now that I was paying attention. He was tall at about 6”2 from what I could tell, had jet black hair, deep blue eyes a jaw line that could slice a tomato and a body that showed off how athletic he must be, I can’t believe I hadn’t noticed him till now well I’m not one to pay much attention to my surroundings so not much of a surprise really. After Molly left I decided to go back to my reading, without the earphones this time of course and a few minutes later the bell rang signaling the start of first period and Mrs smith walked in and and class began. English went by uneventful after that, with me zoning out most of the time and getting lost in my very active imagination while watching the empty packing lot and some kids I could tell were ditching class . My day went on normally with nothing out of that ordinary happing again until out of the blue in biology; K.M talked to me.
