Vampire's Love by hima (books to get back into reading .TXT) 📖

makes it difficult for me, With other’s it’s just two simple words; “It’s over” but I can’t hurt Taylor like that. He is my only friend besides Janet.

“Please…” I said.

Taylor is the football team captain, he is a good looking guy and popular ones of the schools but none ever knew that he is a sweet heart; he had the tenderness of child.

“I like you better as my friend…” I said. He looked at me confused but thankfully didn’t say anything back.

At lunch, Taylor walked beside me silently to dining hall, it’s filled up with people already but I’m sure Janet would have saved place for me.

Janet was sitting in our usual spot with Mike and Mitchell.

“Hi, guys…”I waved setting my plate down. Taylor grabbed a chair and sat next to me.
Janet gave a wary glance and frowned, I gestured that everything is okay. Mike and Mitchell spoke about their vacation…We listened to them intently and laughed as Mike humored us.

I watched out the window, the pitter patter of the rain drops on the windows had a faint rhythm to them. I zoned out… I drew patterns on the glasses and suddenly I found someone’s silhouette blocking the outside view, I rubbed the glass to make it visible.

I couldn’t see who it was properly but the ruffled dirty brown hair gave away. It was Evan standing alone in the rain… I saw him, glancing at his surroundings cautiously and then he walked into the forest.

What was he doing in forest at this time?

“I’ll be back…”I said gathering my jacket and rushing outside.

<Evan’s POV>
I should have known better… I could have waited until the school is finished. My stupidity is going to cost my brother’s freedom. How didn’t I see her following me?

Being with humans after all these years wore me out… I craved for their blood more by every passing hour. I couldn’t wait until the last hour, I carefully skipped out of the school without anyone noticing me…I ran into the forests and let my senses free searching for prey…

I found a deer, it won’t be delicious but it will be able to quench my hunger… one quick, swift move was all it takes to kill it; I sat there draining every ounce of it. It really felt better

I enjoyed the rush of blood flowing through my system… I retracted my canines and wiped off the blood from my face… I kicked the deer aside, that’s when I noticed a pale faced Selena; the look on her face was enough to tell that she had seen everything.

I cursed myself, I made a slight move and she broke into a run…Poor girl, don’t know what she messed with. I let her run as far as I could it will wear her down and I could easily kidnap her than. I took a quick leap and landed right in front of her.

She fell on the muddy earth and began to shout for help, I hit her on the neck and she fell unconscious. I carried her away to y cottage in the woods.

She woke up after what seemed to be like hours… I was in my living room when I heard her shouts…she panicked as she saw me enter her room, She crawled to the end of the room and covered her face in her knees.

“I’m not going to hurt you…” I said carefully walking towards him. She peeped through the slits of her eyes… She pursed her lips in deep thought.

“Are you a vegan?” She asked meekly.

I chuckled…how did she know that term?
I nodded showing my glass filled with blood. She eased off a little bit.

“Are you going to kill me or erase my memory?” she asked carefully.

“Which one is the better option for you?” I smiled.

“I will keep your secret…” she replied with all honesty.

“Can I trust on you with such a secret…”I asked.

“You have my word…my family doesn’t go back on their word…” she boasted.

“Okay… for now you will be safe but if I sense anything wrong…” She cut me off.

“You can have me as your meal…”she replied.

I backed away giving her enough space to stretch and stand up. She carefully walked over to the bed and sat on it tentatively touching her neck. I knew she was checking for marks.

“I promised that I won’t hurt besides I’m what you call as vegan…” I chuckled. She relaxed a bit.

“You knew about us before…?”I frowned. She hesitated for a moment and then she nodded.

“How…?” I asked.

“Can we talk about it later?” she asked, I could see the tears that she was trying hard to keep them back.

“Can I go home now?”She asked.

“You should stay here a while until I’m sure that you wouldn’t tell anyone about it…”I said eying her.

“Do you think I’m mad to tell someone about it and get thrown into an asylum or worse get killed…?” She was right and I can see the honesty in her words but I wasn’t completely letting her go so I thought of watching over secretly.

I dropped her home, “You would understand it, if I didn’t invite you in, right?” she said as I walked her up to her door.

I nodded. She knows so much about us…How was that? Did she ever encounter one? If she did why was she still alive? That cancels the option may be she read about us… You know there are so many books on us these days but that wouldn’t prepare her in this way; she took it really well after knowing I was a vegan.

I hate puzzles…I slammed my fist on the tree and it cracked… I made a mad dash to the cottage after making sure that she is sound asleep in her room.

When I came back, I watched her sleeping form from the window, she is restless in her sleep, she kept mumbling in her sleep. I could make the distinct words “Jason, come back…” Who is Jason?

After what seemed to be hours of restless tossing in her bed, her breath became soft and she finally was able drift off into sleep, she is even more beautiful then.
<Selena’s POV>
I had put up a façade of being brave but as soon as I shut my eyes hard, all I could see was the web of lies that I made is starting to crumble down and if that happens, I don’t if I could make it out sane and alive this time.

How could I be so oblivious to the signs? I should have seen it coming when an unearthly handsome walked in with a mysterious disposition. Jason, please come back…I prayed to god to let Jason know what I’m in.

The alarm went off at the right time but I wasn’t ready to wake up yet, last night was long and restless and I’m not sure if I could be wide awake today without a good night sleep. I just wanted to lay in the bed rest of the day, I snuggled closer into the sheets and looked out into the window, the sky is clear today, promising a good day of sun, I smelled Laura baking something, the trees swayed gently, I got up and opened the window to let in the fresh air, sun rays filtered in.

I closed my eyes and breathed in a huge amount of fresh air and let it go, this is something I do for calming my nerves. I jumped back startled when I heard a sharp sounding right in front of me. Evan’s face was inches far away from me.

“What the hell?” He grinned. I composed after taking a few deep breaths. “You have been watching me?” I asked.

“You can’t trust a human no matter how honest she is…” he smirked.

“Can I come in?” he asked kneeling by the window.

“You can’t trust a vampire even if he is a vegan.” I snapped and shut the blinds on his face. He sat there grinning like an idiot.

“Your friend is here to pick you up…” Laura said as I gulped down the juice.

“Who…?” I asked.

“Evan…”she said smiling.

“Did you invite him in?” I asked quickly. I knew she did, that jerk…

“You shouldn’t have…” I was cut off when Evan walked in.

“You have a beautiful home, Laura.” Laura blushed.

He is calling her Laura? Vampire and their charms, I nodded my head in disbelief.

“Let’s go…” I practically dragged him out of the house.

“You shouldn’t have tricked her into letting you in…”I stomped on him.

“I didn’t trick her, she invited willingly when I said I am your friend…” he smirked.

I don’t know what I’m going to do now that he is inside my house… what if he hurts Laura? It’s my entire fault... I shouldn’t have meddled into his life. Vampires like trading, what if I trade myself for her?

“You can always take your invitation back…” he said in a serious voice.

Oh! Yes, I can but why is he saying that to me? Is he playing game on me? May be he wants to be trusted. Let’s give him a chance. I know trusting a vampire is off limits but what choice do I have?

“Are you alone or with your clan?” I know this is a tricky question, a vampire without clan is an easy target, If he did answer this tricky question then I’ll play nice.

“I’m with the members of my human family, they are acting as my parents…”he said as a matter of fact.

“I’m rogue vampire…”he added. I flinched… What am I, in this time? Rogue vampires are those that are not members of clan, they live all by themselves, it is them we need to watch out for… vampires of a clan stick together and they lay low to protect their members of clan but being rogue vampire, you don’t have to care for anyone, they are usually brutal.

“You know that I can’t read your mind so just ask me what it is.” Evan said eying me as I bit my lower lip in deep thought.

“You just said you are a rogue vampire but your also a vegan, how is that possible?” He chuckled.

“I don’t want to kill people…” his voice was one of honest.

He may not want to kill people but the beast in him some day would or already has…”Did you kill anyone?” I asked tentatively. I dreaded his answer what if he said ‘yes’. It wouldn’t help my panicky heart anymore.

“I did when I was a first born.” His eyes were distant was that regret I see in his face. I faced away from him trying to assess him.

“Where are you?” Its Janet texting me; I clutched my head; she must have been to pick me up as usual. “I’ll talk to you at college…”I texted back.

We were at school and Evan held the door open for me as I unbuckled the strap. Unfortunately, Taylor was within our vicinity and he glared at us. Evan noticed him.

“Is he your boyfriend?” he asked. “We broke up…” He snaked his arms around my
