Midnight Academy kap 2 |
I pulled my socks on, feeling awkward; I walked out of the closet and into the kitchen. Erik was in the bathroom, I heard the low sound of teeth being brushed. I opened the fridge and took out the juice; I couldn’t eat very well in the mornings, so I usually had one glass of juice and nothing else. I poured the juice in the glass and was just about to put the juice back into the fridge when Erik’s strong hand suddenly appeared. He took the juice from me and watched my reaction with amusement. I was startled, but tried in vain to compose myself. Erik chuckled and ruffled my hair again. My hair was naturally curly and with his constraint ruffling it started to become even more unruly. I groined and glared at him.
“Could you knock it off? It’s gonna look like a mess!” I complained.
“I don’t mind and I hardly think Alistar is going to mind as well. You don’t have to look good for those vamps, right?” Erik said with a smirk.
I felt a sting of embarrassment, sure he was right that I didn’t have to look good in front of the vampires, but I still want some normality, I still want this school to feel like a normal high school. Being confused with my feelings I grabbed my bag that was on the counter and in one swift movement pulled my hair back in a ponytail, ignoring Erik’s comment. I walked briskly out from our room, what a hellish morning! First that stupid nightmare that I often had, then Erik’s playfulness and then…then he kissed me. What was that? I thought he only saw me as a sister; he used to tease me, saying I didn’t look like a woman and that no guy in the world would want a girl who’s as plain and boring as me. I can’t say that I’m feeling self-confident when I hear him say those things.
I slowly feel my embarrassment turning into rage, why does he tease me? Can’t he just leave me alone? Full of rage I stomped down the hall and out of the building. I opened the heavy wooden door, taking a deep breath when the chilly autumn air surrounded me and sighed. Damn, this was just too much drama and emotions this early in the morning. Feeling a little calmer I stumbled up the small hill that was separating our dorm with the main school building.
“That’s a lot of sighing this early in the morning,” a dark voice said.
Startled, I looked around and found a young man standing in front of me. He was tall, not as tall as Erik, but he was tall. He was well built with board shoulders, but he still looked slender. The eyes were pitch-black; one of the signs that he was a vampire, his skin was as pale as a dead man’s skin. His black hair was short and unruly; it looked like he just woke up.
“Sorry to bother you with my sighing,” I said sarcastically and kept walking but I came to a halt when the man stepped out in front of me. I glanced up and met his eyes briefly.
“You’re one of the humans,” he murmured. This wasn’t a question, it was a statement, I a felt a chill down my spine. Dear god! This was not my morning! Fist the drama with Erik and now a freaking vampire attack, boiling with rage again, I met his eyes and sighed.
“Yes, I’m one of the God-damn-humans, got a problem with that? Look, I’ve had a shitty morning and I don’t want a fight, let me pass and I will act like this never happened,” I said coolly.
The vampire chuckled and gave me an honest smile.
“I never thought a human could be interesting,” he said in amusement. “My name is Daniel, remember it, we’ll meet again.” He said those last words and walked gracefully away, I followed him with my eyes and watched him leave. Amazed, I chuckled and started walking towards the school building again.
Then the classes started and the night went on, the classes were the same as in any other school, I was in the third year, Erik as well, Alistar had put us in the same class for our own safety. When the school bell rang, marking the end of the school, Erik and I met up and started discussing the night patrolling. Feeling self-conscious, I avoided his eyes; I could feel his eyes on me, watching me carefully.
“Did you hear me, Erika?”
“Huh?”
“I said, I take the S-wing as usual and you take the A- and B-wing,” Erik said businesslike.
“Why can’t I take the S-wing,” I whined.
“Not gonna happen, you know the most powerful vamps lives in that dorm. You wouldn’t stand a chance if one of them attacked you,” he said matter-of-factly, crossing his arms.
“I can fight them,” I said confident. Suddenly Erik grabbed my arms and pushed me towards the wall, pinning me between him and the wall he met my eyes briefly and lowered his head. Then he kissed the base of my neck, he raised his head and met my eyes again. With a pained look on his face, he sighed, “Dead.”
“What?” I gasped.
“If I was a vamp, you would be dead by now. You don’t even fight me, how could you fight a vamp that will be able to trick you into letting him feed from you?” Erik murmured.
“I’ll be fine, trust me,” I smiled.
“Forget it. I’ll take the S-wing and you the A- and B-wing, end of discussion,” Erik said and walked out of the room. I sighed, what the hell was wrong with him tonight!? I stormed out of the room and began the patrol. We did this only to have everything in order if human teenagers would eventually ever enter this school. The S-wing held the most famous vampires; they were of noble blood and because of that they were lethal since they didn’t care whether their actions had consequences or not. They didn’t dare to touch neither Alistar nor Erik but apparently my blood drives them crazy. So both Alistar and Erik had forbidden me to come near the S-wing, stubborn as I was, I said they were only imagine things.
Lost in thoughts I patrolled through the whole A-wing without anything out of the ordinary. I allowed myself a short break when I had done half of the B-wing. The cold air filled my lungs and I hugged myself, trying to warm up my body. What a night…I couldn’t get my feelings straight, what did I actually feel about that kiss? I didn’t mind, but do I have those feelings for Erik? We had lived together for twelve years now; I sure loved him but like that?
“What are you thinking about so seriously?”
I gasped and looked up, Daniel were standing in front of me, staring at me intensely. His handsome features observing me curiously. I hadn’t even heard him approached me.
“Nothing much,” I murmured meeting his eyes.
He took a few steps closer to me, closing the distance; if I reached out my arm I could touch him. Nervously, I tried to take a step back but my back hit a tree. I felt my heartbeat quicken and I tried to think of a way to get out of here. Suddenly Daniel put both of his hands on the tree, making me a prisoner between his arms.
“You know, you’re really interesting and you smell heavenly,” Daniel murmured and lowered his head, our lips were just inches apart and it felt like my heart would burst, it was beating franticly. I could see his sharp fangs between his parted lips, I gasped in fear. This started to look like my nightmare. Daniel chuckled and took a deep breath, smelling me, then he pressed his lips to mine, they were unexpectedly soft and cold, he slowly deepened the kiss, letting his tongue slide into my mouth. I felt the panic building, I couldn’t move, I felt paralyzed. A tear escaped from the corner of my eye, I couldn’t hold back the tears anymore.
“Don’t cry, I promise you won’t feel a thing,” Daniel whispered against my lips.
Erik, help me!

Jag vill att hon och Erik ska bygga upp ngt, samtidigt tycker jag att han Daniel låter intressant xD Intressant eller farlig vet jag inte. | | Mizz_andersson - 5 mar 14 - 01:34- Betyg: | | Det gick snabbt! :) Lika bra som förra delen jag läste. Maila nästa! :) |
