Shadow Guy

Chapter Eighteen

I turned to my side thinking someone was gonna be there but when I felt nothing my eyes shot open and I felt around the bed looking for Shane. He......he's gone! That s**t! I mean yeah fine it was meant as only a onetime thing but still, he could have the guts to stay when I woke up!

I pulled the covers back and stepped out the bed only to fall back on it again. A sharp pain spread across my abdomen. My arms wrapped around my stomach and I closed my eyes tight with the pain. I'm so stupid! I should have remembered about the pain that ALSO comes after it!

I stayed like that for a few minutes before finally, the pain went and I could walk. I took one step and f**k I was sore! It hurt like hell to walk, why couldn't he just go easy?! Well, it's not exactly like I said, 'hey f**k me slowly please.' I pulled on my black silk robe and made my way downstairs trying to hide the whole night from view.

I reach the kitchen to see Shane....cooking? He was already dressed and COOKING! I have to so remember this, like really. This s**t is gold. I cleared my throat and he turned around startled.

"You're up, um good morning or wait its night so good night," I giggled and leaned against the door frame.

Yep, this is gonna be really awkward. "Um I'm gonna have a shower so...yeah," he nodded and I ran up the stairs to the bathroom. Aren't players supposed to be all normal after that, I mean he felt awkward too so, wow! He's such an amazing player! Notice the sarcasm.

I jumped into the shower and out. I didn't really feel like staying in there for long. I made my way to my room and changed into a long jeans skirt and a red silk top that exposed my shoulders and had a black ribbon hanging from the middle. I loved that shirt! I put on some fillip flops and combed my hair pulling two strands from either side and tying them back allowing the rest of my hair to flow around my shoulders. I didn't wear any makeup so I was done. I made my way downstairs where Matt and John were already sitting talking in the kitchen.

"What's up?" I asked walking in. Ok, so now I regret not taking drama for GCSE!

"Well, Brie it seems we will have to leave very soon to get you to the throne,"

"Oh" was all I said back to Matt. I took a seat next to John and flopped down onto it ignoring the pain.

"Which means we will have to find someone to change you," my eyes widened all of a sudden and I looked straight at Shane.

"Why don't one of you guys do it?" I asked turning my gaze back to John.

"Well Brie none of us want to change you, not because we don't like you but because well we've all grown fond of you as a friend and it is very hard to kill a friend, so we have agreed, ALL of us that we get someone to come here tomorrow night and change you," I looked at John in horror.

They all agreed! Shane agreed to let some stranger change me? Anger and hurt flushed in. How could that d**k head just agree?! I turned to look at Shane and his eyes locked with mine, all awkwardness gone.

My eyes began to tear and I got up, the chair flying backward. I ran out of the kitchen and slammed my door shut. He could have changed me! Fine fair enough if he didn't want to but then Matt, James or John could have done it!

How could he!?! I sat in the chair curled up. I lost my virginity to a vampire and he doesn't even have the balls to change me. Sure, again it was a onetime thing but it must have made him owe me in some way right? I stayed up in my room for a while longer until someone came and knocked on my door.

"Brie there's someone to see you," John spoke softly. I wiped at my eyes and moved slowly to the door.

"What?" I asked opening the door.

"Oh my god! You've got to be kidding me!" I screeched looking at all of them behind him. I rolled my eyes back and tried closing the door.

"Wait, Brie we're doing this for your own good," James said putting his hand on the door.

"Get lost James!" he stepped in my room and took hold of my shoulders. "Hey let go of me!" I yelled at me as he pushed me back until I fell on the couch. They all walked in and sat on the floor looking up at me. "What the f**k do you want!?!"

Shane looked down from my face to my collar bone. At first, I was confused at what he was looking at but then I remembered. I got up from the chair and made my way to the wardrobe pulling out a black cardigan.

"Look Brie, It's the only way," I threw Matt a death glare.

"Yeah, sure!" I said sitting back on the chair.

"Please don't make this harder than it already is," I stuck my middle finger at John and he stopped talking, ok so now taking it in turns to try and talk to me. Smart.

James was next, like he had a bigger chance then the rest of them, "Brie if one of us changes you....." I cut him off.

"Like I want it to be you," Shane put on his grin and I narrowed my eyes at him, his smile disappeared and I had this sense that maybe what happened before wasn't just a onetime thing for him. But boy can he hide it good!

"We just don't have the guts to change you," I got to my feet really angry but I was pulled into someone's arms with their hand over my mouth.

"Don't make a sound," it was Shane. How the f**k did he get here so fast? And why do I still ask myself such stupid questions?

"They're in the house," John whispered to Matt. "Shane you take Brie out of here and meet us at the station tomorrow night," Shane nodded at Matt's orders and pulled me to the window.

"Get on my back now!" he whispered urgently. I shook my head being stubborn, "Now is not the time, get on my back now!"

Without knowing it Matt came from behind me, lifting me up and placing me on Shanes back. Shane held on to my legs tight and I held onto his neck.

"You guys aren't thinking about trying to kick those guys asses right?" Shane asked Matt,

"Nope just waiting until you leave so go before we have too." with that Shane was out the window with me on his back. I closed my eyes and buried my head into his back. What the f**k is going on? We came to a stop a while later. Shane put my feet to the ground and when he turned around I attacked him with my fists banging hard against his chest. I forgot about what happened back at the house and just went crazy.

"YOU s**t HEAD! HOW COULD YOU AGREE!?! HOW COULD YOU LET THEM GET SOMEONE ELSE TO CHANGE ME TOMORROW?" Ok, now my lungs are gonna hurt like hell! He caught my fists and looked at me angrily.

"You think I agreed just like that!?! It hurt like hell to say yes! But I had to! I don't want to see someone else taste my girl! But it's the only way!" I looked at him my eyes wide; he just called me his girl. He pulled me into a tight hug and stroked my hair back.

"I can't change you, I just can't, and having someone else change you is gonna kill me like hell inside knowing they're gonna taste you, knowing that they gave you eternal life but if it keeps you safe then......I'll deal," he placed a kiss on the top of my head and I couldn't stop thinking about him calling me his girl.

I guess it wasn't just a onetime thing for him. WAIT! Stuff him! I shoved him away and turned covering my face with my hands, one thought popped into my head and I had no clue why. He came from behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. "You're a coward, Shane. For a scary ass creature of the night . . . you're a goddamn coward."

What if once I'm changed by that person he won't want anything to do with me? He spun me around to face him and I collapsed in his arms. When I woke up I was on the floor leaning against Shane's chest and his arms around me.

"You ok?" he asked. I looked up and realized we were in the woods, what the hell is it with always coming into the woods? I pulled away from him and got to my feet remembering what happened last night and well before night came.

His girl. Get over it! I told myself, it was most probably just a mix up of words or something. He got up to his feet and looked at me with totally different eyes that I've never seen on him before. "We'll leave when it turns dark, then we'll meet the rest of them by the station where you'll......" he cut off and I looked down to the floor.

"Yeah," I said flatly, he could see I still hadn't forgiven him for agreeing but I understood why I was just being stubborn like normal.

"Come on you need to get ready," I looked at him confused, "You need to wear a necklace when you're changed since you're the princess it's a tradition. Then we go, that's all,"

I could see the pain hidden in his eyes but no way was I just ganna act all happy friendly with him! Plus I'm still trying to figure out what he meant by his girl, he can't mean it in like a boyfriend way....right?

I followed behind him as we walked through a town I had no idea even existed.
