Soulmates - a paranormal romance

Skye is a 17-year-old girl. She has long black hair and deep blue eyes. She’s gotten tired of the foster care system. Her parents died in a car crash when she was five and she’s been abused at home ever since. “I’ve had enough I’m leaving!” she screamed. She ran out the door with just her clothes and hid deep in the forest. Her foster parents didn’t care for her, so they didn’t give chase. She hid in an abandoned shack. It was cold out, just turning from summer to fall. She started shivering. Not knowing what she was going to do next. She suddenly heard an ominous noise and footsteps. She hid underneath her jacket and kept quiet. Hoping whatever was there would leave. She heard something approaching. Suddenly it was on top of her and slowly lifting her jacket up. She started crying and begging. “Please don’t hurt me.” The creature threw off her coat revealing a scared teen underneath. She held her hands up, shaking. “Please leave me alone.” He brought his face close to hers. Sniffing her, inhaling her scent. “ You my dear are a special human.” “No I’m not! What are you?’ She asked. “I’m a vampire but I won’t turn you. I promise.” “I don’t believe you,” she said still crying. She couldn’t tell what he looked like in the dark but his presence was terrifying. “Come with me, it’s not safe out here. My father does not approve of humans, so I’ll keep you a secret for now. “He grabbed her by the hand, but she pulled away. “I don’t trust you, vampires kill humans.” she said. “Not all vampires, it’s mostly the deceivers. They are a group of vampires that can make a human do whatever they want by getting in their mind. Anything from falling in love with them or making them kill other humans. I’m not a deceiver. My dad is the king of vampires.” He took her by the hand again, but she pulled away. “How do I know you aren’t deceiving me now? And why am I special? “I can teach you everything you need to know if you come with me.” “ No!” she screamed. He grabbed her by the waist and ran at lighting speed to his mansion They got inside and he used his powers to lock every door and window “Let me out of here, please!” She fell to her knees crying. “Don’t cry my dear. I want you to be mine. I want to make you happy.” “This is not the way to do it! " She yelled. He put his hand over her mouth. “Shh my sweet, my father’s house isn’t far from here. He cannot know about us yet.” He used his powers to turn on the lights. Now that she could see him he looked quite beautiful. Long black hair, deep red eyes, clean face. Tall, skinny. I need to snap out of this she thought. I can’t get feelings for him. “There isn’t an us. I’m a human and you kidnapped me.” “I can read your thoughts, you find me attractive.” “So what? It doesn’t mean I want to be with you.” “But I want to be with you.” He said holding her hand. This time she let him hold her hand. “There, isn’t that better?” He asked “I don’t know anything about you, and you don’t know anything about me.” she said. “You still never answered me on why I’m special.” “You have a special scent. A scent that only comes from a person once in a lifetime. The scent means that through the power of my father, he can inject you with venom and instead of you turning into a vampire it will make you not immortal but almost impossible to kill . My father’s special venom combined with your DNA will make you superhuman. “Why would your father inject me to make me powerful when he hates humans and how is all this even possible?” She started feeling scared again, shaking all over. He pulled her into a hug. She started crying again. He started running his fingers through her hair as she started hugging him back. He was making her feel safe but she couldn’t understand it. “You will understand everything in time just give us a chance please. I have been alive for hundreds of years, but I’ve known all that time you were coming, and I’ve saved myself to be with you. I know that might scare you, but I promise to treat you like a queen.” She sighed and held him tighter. “I got you, please stop crying my beautiful girl.” He kissed her on her forehead and held her tighter. “It’s been a long night, time for you to rest, you can take the guest room.” He led her to an all-purple room. Dark purple paint, with a queen bed covered in velvet purple sheets. She laid down in bed and he tucked her in and kissed her on the forehead. “Goodnight my sweet.”
