Shadow Guy

Chapter Twelve

I sobbed more and more that I didn't feel someone roughly grab my arms and pull me up. I was still crying and I couldn't control it. My arms started to bruise with their grip; they pulled me to my feet and started to drag me out of my room.

"No! Get off me!" I wanted to be down there, J.T can't be dead! I didn't give a s**t about the guys pulling me; I was still in the state of taking in what just happened. Someone else dressed in black, their face was covered in black too, came in the room.

"Shane! Shane!" I screamed as one of the men helped the other pull me out the room fully.

"Shut the f**k up!" one of them screamed into my ear, I struggled more and more trying to get out of his grip. They pushed me down the stairs so that I fell but into someone else's chest rather than feeling the hard edges of the steps and the ground.

It was one of their guys. He grabbed on arm this time and pulled me into the living room. He pushed me down so that I sat on the couch. I pulled my legs up to my chest and my arms hugging them.

Tears still ran down my cheeks. All three of them were standing in front of me....just staring, "Should we have some fun before we kill her?" one of them asked. They were all men, their voices rough bouncing from the walls as chuckles vibrated out from their mouths. My heart banged harder against my chest catching their meaning.

They all laughed and I made a lunge for the door. No such luck. The guy at the end grabbed me by the waist and threw me back, this time on the floor, "You b***h!" he screamed as he pulled me to my feet by my elbow and then clenched his hand into a fist.

My eyes opened in horror and then my face started stinging as his fist connected with my cheek. I fell to the floor and crawled to the corner looking up at them as they moved closer to me, "It's a shame she's the princess, she's cute, I would have kept her otherwise," one of them said.

"I wouldn't touch her again if I was you," my head snapped to the doorway, J.T! He....wasn't dead! But he was holding onto the door frame for support, the dried blood still stained his face.

"What the f**k! You're meant to be dead....er!"

The one in the middle turned last to look and J.T. before even knowing it the guy who punched me was across the room on the floor and the other two were fighting with J.T. they're vampires! That fact just made it even worse.

Ok so two down, one to go, that's good ri- I cut my own thoughts off as J.T went flying into the mirror hanging on the wall. He fell face flat on the floor and I got to my feet. The man picked J.T up by the collar of his shirt when he saw me rise he let him go and stood walking towards me.

I was trembling uncontrollably. "Looks like the princess got her crown up her ass," he came closer and I closed my eyes, remember what J.T taught you. Grab onto an emotion, throw a punch with speed.....he won't see it coming.

Think of what you felt when J.T was down, come on. I opened my eyes and the guy was inches from me, "Boo!" he said, I was right he wasn't expecting it. I pulled my arm back and punched him straight in the face.

Yay! And I used speed! He fell back but not far. "Come on!" within a second J.T was by my side grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the attic. He barricaded the door and fell to the floor letting out a sigh.

"Wh....what happened to you....before?" I asked still in shock this time of what just happened, he sat up and looked at me.

"I....." he cut off by me running to him and hugging him, he fell backward with the impact of the hug and I was on top of him.

"Don't ever do that again you stupid, daft, d**k, s**t head!" I screamed as I looked down at him. He smiles, taking one of his hands from my waist and pulled a strand of hair behind my ear, for a moment I got lost in his eyes until a loud bang came from the door. I rolled over and he sat straight up.

What the f**k just happened? Nothing! Nothing what so ever! He got to his feet and extended his hand so I could take, I took hold and he helped me up to my feet. "Stay behind me," he said frowning at the door.

"Shane....." I cut off realizing I was using his first name again.

"Forget it, I heard you say it before," he said whilst pushing me back further. The banging stopped and J.T walked to the door placing his ear to it. "They're gone," he came back up and sat back on the floor.

"How...how did they know it...was me?" I asked taking a step closer to him.

"I don't know."

I swallowed and then the next thing I knew J.T had hold of my hand and turned it over to look at my wrist, he then started.....LICKING IT! Ugh! "What the hell are you doing?!" I screamed back at him, I couldn't jerk my hand back as he held it tighter.

When he was finished i started rubbing it against the wall getting rid of any of his spit. "I only did that to cure your cut, it heals it.....but only works on another vampire, plus what you did up there? That's frowned upon in the vampire community actually, pretty lethal lawbreaking."

I just looked at him and fell down to the floor looking at him. Great I've already broken one law.....well it's kind of a law.

"Why? Wouldn't you of died if I didn't?" I asked letting go of my wrist.

"Yeah I would of.....but even if it was one of your friends you should never feed your blood to another vampire to save their lives....because it's only meant to be done with the one who changes you into a full vampire, it's like this law in religion, well ours."

He looked down whilst saying the last part, I guess then I can't give anyone my blood. But part of me really didn't care. "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone," I thought he was joking but he wasn't. He was actually being nice!?!

"Thanks," I said looking down at the floor, "That guy's outside.....they poisoned me, that's why that happened to Me." I nodded for some reason I walked over to where he was sitting on the floor leaning against the wall.

"Thanks again, for saving me.....AGAIN," I said making the both of us laugh. Then unexpectedly he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and I rested my head on his chest, "I still hate you though," I said making him chuckle.

"That's fine with me, but when you're in trouble again don't think I'm gonna help you," I smiled; I was actually able to joke around with him. Then a thought popped into mind.

"Is there like true mates or something like that like werewolves?"

He was quiet for a moment before talking again, "Yeah, but werewolves are real they just don't hang around this area.....as far as the mate thing goes....I'm not really sure how that goes........but hey you and James.....you might have it going on,"

Ok, that made me laugh but the next words that came out my mouth I didn't even know I was saying it, "I don't think so.....I mean I like him but.....there's something missing,"

Ok did I just open up to J.T? "Oh god! Please don't tell him?!" I begged sitting up and looking at him.

He smiled and promised, I rested my head back on his chest and thought about how my instincts always took over and....how it mainly did when it was to do with J.T......I guess I consider him a friend.

Then I remembered that J.T still had blood on his face, how stupid can I be? I've looked at him and I just ignored it!?! I sat up making him look at me confused, "Blood" I simply said. His face went normal and I moved my hand up to his face.

He didn't move, he didn't even flinch, he just stared at me. I placed my fingers gently on the blood and closed my eyes, I just imagined him without blood and then I felt warmth at the end of my fingertips radiating outwards.

When I opened my eyes he was clear and looking at me with his eyes wide open, "How the f**k did you do that?" he asked taking my fingers in his hands.

"I don't know. I just went with my instincts." I said stunned myself at what I did.

"You're more of a witch than a vampire!" my eyes widened with excitement until he killed it, "They're not real." I looked back down at the floor, I hadn't even realized that he still had my fingers in his hands. Then my stomach started throbbing.

It wasn't painful but it still had that pinch of pain, J.T looked up at me, dropping my hands and placing his hand on the back of my neck, "You need to eat!" he said worriedly. I couldn't say anything I just looked up at him.

He picked me up in his arms and dashed out the house still holding me bridal style. For some crazy reason I couldn't move my legs or arms, I couldn't even talk.
