I latch my hands onto my backpack and tighten the grip- I haven't stopped thinking about 'iris' how did she handle not knowing? How am I going to handle being able to kill someone?
*Ping*
"Attention students of Heltish High boarding school. Ms. Dean has retired due to health problems and will not be coming back. I am also sad to announce one of our student body president has died from complications from a self inflicting wound. We have acquired a new dean but will not be here for two days, we will take two days- no restrictions. My eyes widened, this is my chance to talk to Desmond- I know I shouldn't but what if he can help me? I run up the stairs- my hair flowing behind me- I feel excited that I'm going to rebell the first time since I got here. I run up the stairs two by two until I reach 'Level D' I pull on the handle and expect the students to be flowing throughout the halls excited to be having two days of free time, just like me. But the halls were empty and quite, there are papers on the floor and garbage seeping through the trash cans- I never noticed but this hall is dark- all the time.
"What are you doing here Alannah?" Desmond and Majika appear from the left- their arms crossed against their chests.
"I was looking for you desmond." His eyes widen- how long can I keep him anticipating my memories back? His arms uncross and he takes a step forward but Majika puts her hand flat in the middle of his chest preventing him from going forward. She's doing that because she and her family are the only ones that know I exist. The rarest of my kind- a human Matanica. Her eyes turn bright purple and gabe was right- she does have a deer in her Irises. Desmond chuckles- he can feel how pissed I am that she's touching Desmond how pissed I am that she thinks she can dominate me, when she knows nothing about me. All of a sudden Desmond stops moving and I know I'm in the Glass crystal with Majika.
"What are you really doing here Alannah, Gabriel told you that you cannot tell him who you are."
"I don't care- I need his help. I know he can help me,"
"Help you with what Alannah?! Being his test subject? Seeing if you can poison him with your blood- If you can have s*x without killing him?"
"Woah what? Wait- you have her diary?" Majika 'floats' closer to me.
"I was the one who took it from her empty grave. That's how my brother and I know who you are Alannah. Jeremiah wasn't trying to expand his bloodline but create more of you wretched creatures so him and Ms. Dean can destroy you. If you can't control you powers imagine what a few babies could do." My eyes widening as she throws this information at me, I stare down at my feet in astonishment.
I really am a 'slave' to someone- a walking nuclear bomb. But all I want to do is tell Desmond- maybe he'd be different.
"Desmond is a Vampire- he's naturally attached to blood-" I dagger appears from thin air next to my wrist,
"Would you like to see what you do to him?" Before I could answer the dagger slices my wrist, blood dripping on the floor- then running into the wall- breaking the glass.
Desmond looks at majika, his eyes now glowing red and looking at the cut on my hand, I look up at him-
"RUN!" Desmond yells. I do, I run as fast as my legs carry me down the steps, I can't be the reason Desmond dies, because the smell of my poisonous blood. Is this what I get for trying to tell him?
When I reach 'Level D dorms' I shut the door- desmond nowhere to be seen. I lost him, I hold my wrist to stop the bleeding, I look away from the door-
"AHH!" I scream, desmond with his red glowing eyes staring at me.
"I don't want to hurt you Alannah, but your blood," I have no choice, he keeps coming closer and I can't stop him from drinking it.
"Stop! If you drink my blood you could die!" his fangs disappear and his eyes stop glowing. I was afraid of him dying not afraid of him hurting me. My heart is racing because of the intense chase- running from a vampire, never thought I would be saying that. Desmond looks at me- intensely. Examining me-every detail and speck, he gently grabs my face and pulls it to his lips. My eyes are wide open- I mean wide. I was not expecting that, at all.
He parted our lips and looks at me with the cutest- sweetest smile.
"You don't hate me?"
"You remember Don't you? You remember me, how about Jeremiah?" that's what he got out of this? I nod my head and smile, now it's my turn to return the favor- I get on my tippy toes and reach his lips I part my lips enough for him to take over- our saliva exchanging. The air is getting hot in here, our body temperature is through the roof and I can feel moist. I don't know much about this matanca stuff but what I do know is this feels right- it feels like I am meant to be with desmond. The way him and I connected on the first day I got to school- the way he helps me, especially his red glowing eyes. I'm not scared of him, but he was scary when Majika dared to kill him.
When we part my cheeks are flushed, my heart racing- both of our hearts are racing. I'm sure we didn't want to stop there. I put a strand of hair behind my ear to revert the attention from my cheeks.
"I need your help Desmond." I look at him seriously- after we shared that amazing kiss
"With what?"
"Finding Iris."
