ForBITEen Love

Chapter 5

The next morning my alarm went of an hour earlier, I set it that way so that I won't be late I'm in enough trouble as is. I quickly took a shower and dried my hair afterward, I totally love my hair it has this natural curl that doesn't need any work and it’s manageable. I put on some eyeliner so my already noticeable blue eyes would pop even more, once again another thing I love about me is my sapphire blue eyes. I quickly grabbed my brown short shorts and a well fitted white top that shows of my tiny middle, I ran downstairs only to be greeted with lots of breakfast, my sisters were clearly still asleep. Everything was working out perfectly until I needed to find my car keys. They were still no where to be found, but I was not getting into trouble again, so I took Austin's car AGAIN. He would understand, he has to since he is the one that told me to stay out of trouble at school. I missed my car so much, sometimes I wish I could sense my car keys and not all the angels and vampires.

I arrived at school a half hour before my classes started. There was no reason to stand around in the hall or try to talk to anyone so I went to my first class. I sat down and I saw the teacher glaring over her red rimmed glasses at me. I had hoped she would make my detention hours less if I behaved, but that look of pure hatred told me otherwise. I sunk down lower on my seat throwing my long curl hair over the back and closed my eyes. The class didn't start for what felt like an eternity. I already wish for no more school and how does that back fire, by me being the one student that spends the most time at school.

When class finally started she gave a boring lecture on world wars, but meanwhile she doesn't know about the war between the Guardian angels and the vampires that has been going on for almost a thousand years. I started giggling at my thought -and teachers act like they know everything- The teacher rushed over to me with a additional detention slip adding another half an hour to my 3 hours. You got to be kidding me why does she only notice me when I do stuff wrong. She never seems to see when I’m behaving! The rest of the day went by in a boring blur.

As the bell rang for the end of the day I noticed that it was only the beginning of my hell... I decided not to do my homework in detention. I wasn't in the mood I just wanted to go home. I went to Austin's car to dispose of my school bag and I felt really tempted to just leave this wretched place and never come back, but once again Austin wouldn't like that or allow it. So I closed the door and walked to my detention. It was in my old poetry class so I could just grab a book and read the time away. I really like poetry. As I walked in I noticed there were 3 other students as well. There was the normal bad ass boy with his tattoos (that was not allowed in this school), his piercing (also not allowed) and his long hair that had red an blue strip in (not allowed) wonder why he's here I thought sarcastically, then there was a jock, he looked up and quickly looked away that's when I noticed that he was the jock who Austin beat up. Then there was a girl who couldn't look more out of place. She had almost white blonde hair with big brown eyes. She was also dressed neatly, her legs were crossed under the table and her arms folded on the table she sat up straight and her focus was on the professor in the front of the room. 

"Come in missy and sign on your name. This will be all over quicker if you weren't 5 minutes late." I remembered this guy he was my math teacher last year. He is an old, kind of overweight man who has a big bold spot on the top of his head. He is wearing a white shirt tucked into his clearly pulled up to high grey trousers. He had a pocket protector with a few pens in,that only made him look like a old dork (hehe old dork ). I grabbed the first book I saw and went to sit at the back of the class. I opened the book, but closed it soon after I really wasn't in the mood for reading either. Someone cleared their throat and I turned to see the prim and proper girl sitting next to me.

"Hi I'm Laura." She said with a friendly smile. Look at little miss proper talking in detention how bad ass of her.

"Hi I'm Alexandra, you can call me Alex." she smiled again.

"Cool so how many hours are you in for?" This girl was really talkative, but I don’t have anything else to do so I might as well try and form a normal conversation.

"Three and a half hours."

"Me too!" She squealed, she is the only person that I know that can be so exited about something so subtle. Not that I know a lot of people, angels yeah, vampire sure, people no. 

"I just moved here with my dad, how about you? Have you lived here your whole live?" This girl wasn't going to give up I guess it wouldn't be that bad to have a friend since all the other Angels are gone.

"Nope, I moved here when I was 16." She was still smiling and I found myself wondering if it hurt to smile all the time.

"That's cool so why did you move here, I moved here because my dads work was moved here which meant relocation or unemployment." Now what was I going to say see this is why I don't have any friends. It's not like I can say oh this guy found me one night and told me he was going to introduce me to my new life, and now we're dating and I'm living with him and 4 other really hot chicks in one house.

"Well... I got moved into a foster home here in LA." That works as long as she never comes over to meet my foster parents,

"Oh...I'm sorry I didn't know. Everyone talks about you,but no one has said anything about that." I didn’t know they talked about me, I must have known.

"They talk about me? What do they say?" I always guessed they all hated me so much that they wouldn't gossip.

"Well...They say you're an uptight rich girl, who get what you want when you want it just like your older sisters." Wow is that all they could come up with. Where is the boldness, they good gossip that would sting and stick with you all your life.

"Interesting." She nodded. 

"And they guys say that your one of the 5 angels that have walked these halls." They don't know how right they are. It’s a very funny observation. Still very unoriginal. 

"Uhm...Okay." I laughed

"Alexandra keep quiet or I'll keep you another hour!" The old dork yelled how is it that I get the trouble and she doesn't even get noticed. I rolled my eyes and let my head fall to the table. I closed my eyes and started to think about home. The mansion was one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. It has a big iron gate that opens up to the driveway that ends in a circle. In the middle of the circle is a black rock fountain around it is the greenest grass ever. The whole estate has this green grass and colourful gardens. The back of the estate is a forest and I sometime go there to release my anger. It is where our training grounds are. The mansion self is magnificent it is also made out of black rock and stands out just like it's owner. My bedroom is on the end of the second floor and has the best view. I fell in love with the room the moment I lade my eyes on it. I have a four poster white oak bed with a baby blue bead spread it looks so comfortable and it is that is why I'm always late because I never want to get up in the morning. 

"Alex get up it's time to go." The Laura girl said. I must have fallen asleep. I stood up stretching, looking around I saw I was the last one left.

"Come on Alexandra I want to get home too." The old dork exclaimed. I just rolled my eyes and walked out of the class room. When I got outside I took a deep breath taking in the fresh air and the feeling of freedom then I sensed ‘IT’ a vampire was close by and by the feeling of it he was really hungry. I looked around and sure enough there he was chatting to Laura. He was easily noticeably all vampires has black hair and brown eyes no matter how they looked before the transformation. She was smiling and giggling thinking this guy was truly flirting with her where he was only trying to get her comfortable around him so that he could get her alone. I started to walk over to them. He looked up and once he saw me he just turned and walked away Laura stared after him, but got in her car mumbling something like

"I knew it was to good to be true " at least she was safe. I followed the vampire I know I'm not suppose to be chasing a vampire alone, but it's not like this is my first time going after one. I followed him right into a dark alley. There were crates and garbage against the walls from what I could see and the smell wasn't pleasant either.. Further in it got a little darker, the floor was damp and I use that to listen to his foot steps against the wet pavement. I kept on following him knowing the alley would end right up ahead and he would be trapped. The adrenaline of the hunt kicked in and I started going faster... Too fast because I slipped and stumbled to the ground, clumsy me, I hit my head against one of the crates, but I hardly felt it as there was a horrible sting pain in my leg. I tried to get up, but the pain was to much and moving made me dizzy. I tried to evaluate my situation, but all I could see was blood and the sharp rock I guess my legs hit. I heard the faint footsteps coming towards me and I knew this wasn't good. The vampire was smelling my blood the one thing they craved the most and here I was unable to move. A vampires bite is deadly to use angels so if you haven't notice this is really bad and I'm screwed.

The vampire was starting to get way to close, I could see him clearly now his eyes has turned black where it use to be white and red where it use to be brown. He came even closer and knelt down next to me it was like he was in a trans. He grabbed the collar of my shirt and pulled me even closer to him. His fangs extended. My whole body went cold at the sight of it he brought his head down, I was seeing this in slow motion, my last moment of life was beginning to count down in my head 4, 3, 2 he was about to bite into my skin when all of a sudden he froze. He sighed and stood up, which made me to fall back to the ground landing on my arm.

He had an odd expression on his face, he was terrified I could sense it. I notice him staring past me and I turned my head a little to see a ordinary human standing there. I didn't understand what was going on here, a vampire that is afraid of a human. When I turned back the vampire was gone. I heard footsteps and saw the human coming towards me.

"Are you okay, did that guy hurt you?" He said leaning towards me, he was really hot. He had black hair that hung in his face and stopped just above his amazing blue eyes, they were even bluer than mine.

"No I was just being my clumsy self, I slipped and fell I... I..." I didn't know what to say next.

"I heard something and was curious so I came in here to see what it was." He didn't look like he believed me even for a second. I’m not good at lying. I’m a honest person, it’s a good trait to have…at times. 

"Okay then, but let me help you, you look badly hurt. My apartment is only a block away and I have a first aid kit there. Wait right here I'll go and get my car." he said as he rushed away, it sounded more like a order. I would usually just get up and do the opposite, I don't like taking orders, but lucky for him I couldn't really move. If I could that Vampire would have been mince meat. I heard a roar of a car engine and saw him getting out of the sleek black car. He walked towards me and picked me up. I noticed that he was really we'll build his arms felt so strong and his chest so hard. He was caring me bridal style to his car this felt so awkward, because I'm usually the one doing the saving. I could sense something about him, but I'm not sure what it was. If it wasn't for his eyes I would have pegged him as a vampire. If I could just know what I'm sensing, but I can't and it feels like I should know this. His apartment that 'is just a block away' felt really far because he kept on driving and driving it felt like we were going in circles. When he finally stopped he carried me into the lift and then to his apartment we went. I felt so silly being carried like this. In his arms I felt like a small child. He struggled to open the door and this only brought me closer to his chest. 

I got lost in his smell and only when he laid me on the couch did I notice that I was beginning to give in to him feeling comfortable around this strange. Without a word he disappeared. He came back with a big smile.

"Here I got you these, it is painkillers "I hesitated,but recognized the mark on the pills as those of the pills I usually take back home. Shoot Austin must be going crazy, he must be worried by now. I need to get going quickly.

"Uhm... If you can get me the first aid kit I'll patch myself up, because I'm really in a hurry " He looked at me as if I just spoke in some strange language.

"What about you just lay back and I'll go and get the stuff to fix you up  It looks like you hit your head pretty hard, the pills will help with that. Your leg is busted up real bad it too looks like the rock had gotten you deep and the impact self probably hurt a lot of tissue." He jumped up and walked away again. He came back with a cup of tea. 

"It's a good thing you found me... What were you doing there anyway?" So what I was curious this is LA not some movie where the girl gets saved by the hot hero who just knew where she was.

"I...I saw you running into the alley and I thought that there might be something wrong so I just followed you to make sure everything was okay." I felt like I didn't truly believe him even if I wanted so badly too.

"Well that was really nice of you not a lot of people would take time to see if a girl is okay, because they saw her running into a alley... Thank you." He stared right into my eyes. It felt to intimate. I felt like he really saw me. What is wrong with me? It must be my head injury. 

"It's my pleasure." We fell into a silence where we only stared at one another. Suddenly he lifted his hand to my head.

"I think I should get you some ice your head is swelling into a rather big bump."

"I don't think it's necessary, I'm kinda feeling tired and I have to get home Austin, my boyfriend is probably worried sick." And as that last words slipped from my mouth I fell asleep. I had a dream an awfully strange one.
