Vampiress by Destiny B. Rose (epub e reader .TXT) 📖

remember, curfew's nine thirty." "Yes ma'am, I know." Rose turned and ran out the front door, and to her surprize, she ran straight into Moon. "Moon!" Rose cried startled. 'What is it with me running into people today?' She thought to herself. "Rose! I was expecting you to be gone already." " Moon replied. "Oh, no. Scott's coming to pick me up now. And there he is." Rose said waving in the direction of his mom's car. "Alright, dear. Have fun." Moon turned and walked inside. 'Moon's been very loose with me lately. Has she just been under a lot of pressure, or is she hiding something?' Rose thought as she was getting into the white mercedes. "Your mom has a nice car." Rose commented. "Thanks." Scott answered, "She just got it."

'This is it.' Rose thought. 'I have to tell him, I have to tell him everything.'

Chapter 14: Study Date

"So, 'x-5+15/2=10?'" Scott asked, concentrating hard. "No, you made the same mistake again. You're supposed to do '-5+15' first, which gives you 10. Not 20. You added. Again." Rose said,growing tired of telling Scott the same thing over and over. It had been nearly an hour and they weren't even past number 10 yet. "Why don't we take a break?" She suggested. Scott nodded and leaned back in the wooden chair.

"So? You wanna talk about it now?" Scott asked, unexpectedly. "Do YOU really wanna talk about it?" Rose spat back, looking down at her unfinished work. "Of course I do. I just hope this isn't some big prank." Scott scoffed. Rose had told Scott everything right before the study session. Her being a vampire, turning into this leather-loving, butt-kicking, vampire babe. And how all her power came from her necklace. Oh, AND that she had told Ashton, too. He didn't believe her at first. But when she showed him her fangs, he couldn't deny what she really was. "Fine." Rose pouted.

"When am I gonna meet that Moon chick that you keep telling me about?" Scott asked when he finally spoke. "Never, hopefully." She replied. "And why not?" Rose didn't say anything. "Look, I think I deserve a little bit more than the silent treatment after all that you've told me." Scott said, getting irritated. "It's bad enough that you didn't tell me before now. But, now you don't even want me involved, period." Rose looked away and pulled out her cellphone. Four missed calls. 'From who?' She thought. She unlocked the screen and saw 'RESTRICTED' plastered on the screen, as the same person called her for the fifth time.

"Who's that?" Scott demanded. "I dunno." Rose said back as she answered the phone.

"Hello?" "Rose!" It was April. "April! Why are you calling me from a restricted number?" She didn't answer. "April, you there?" "Yea. Just come to the park. Hurry." April sounded..scared? "But--" She was cut off by the phone. A loud screeching sound hit her eardrum, causing her to cradle it in pain. 'What the-' She thought as she hung up the phone. "Come on. April needs us at the park." Rose said grabbing her bag and car keys. "Did she say what for?" Scott asked as she walked towards the front door. "Whoa!" He said, taking the keys from her, "You don't even have your license yet. I'M driving" Rose scowled as he walked out the front door to her car.

*At The Park*

"We're here." Scott said blankly. "Yep." Rose started to unbuckle when Scott grabbed her hand to stop her. "What?" Rose asked in an annoyed tone. "Look around. There's no one here." Rose looked up. Sure enough, there was absoloutely no one around but them. But, shouldn't April be there? "Come on." Rose said, jumping out of the car. "Rose!" Scott jumped out along with her and ran to her side. "I think we should go back. Something tells me April wasn't the only one on the phone." "You're being paranoid." Rose exclaimed. "Chill out." She walked over to the trail and called for April.

As she walked back to Scott's side she said, "I don't get it she said she would be here. Why would she call me and tell me to come here if she wasn't even gonna be here?" Rose scowled in annoyance. But, she stopped and stared as she heard a rustle. 'In the bushes?' She thought turning to her side. There it was again. 'No, in the trees.' Rose looked toward the trail. Nothing.

"I have a bad feeling." Scott complained, "Maybe we should just go. You can call her back when we get back to my place." Rose gripped his arm as he turned away. "Did you hear that?" The rustling again. "No. Hear what?-" "Shh!" She cut him off. "Stay here." She commanded. "No way! I'm not letting you go over there by yourself. What if there's some psychopath hiding behind the trees!?" "You worry too much. Remember?" Rose flashed her fangs at him. "I'm a vampire." She walked towards the two gigantic trees leading into the narrow trail. That smell. It was familiar. Wow, she really was beginning to be a real vampire. 'What is that?' She though, 'Colone? Expensive Colone. And--' She stopped in her tracks as blood dropped on her shoulder. It came from the trees. 'Oh please, God, don't let it be--' She looked up.
"APRIL!"

Chapter 15: The Sacrifice? Part 1

Rose screamed as she fell backwards, tearing her eyes away from April's limp, blood-stained body. Scott ran over and helped her up. "What's going--" He cut himself off as he saw April. A branch had been stabbed right through her so that she just hung there, dead. Scott pulled Rose closer as she buried her head into his neck. "It's gonna be okay. Please don't cry. Everything's gonna be okay." Scott said, trying to calm her down.

*Roses POV*

I had a scent. It was that REALLY expensive colone that you could buy from those boutiques and crap near the city. But, there was something else. Something that made my mouth water, like when they serve turkey and pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving. I don't know what it is, but it smells REALLY good. I froze and turned to look at my shoulder. Blood. That's what had smelled so good. But, where is it coming from? The trees? I looked up and screamed, "APRIL!"


*Scotts POV*

I had never seen her this upset before. She looked destroyed. I mean, I would be too if that was my best friend being shishcabobbed by a tree branch. The whole thing was just gory. If this was vampires, why did it look like they hadn't even taken an ounce of her blood? "Rose?" She looked up at me. God I loved those eyes. "Who do you think did this to April?" She looked down. "The Rowans. It has to be." "Are they vampires too?" I asked her. "Yes, but they're much more vicious. And whatever they were doing wasn't to hurt me. It was to warn me." She clenched her fists. Was something wrong with her? She was shaking. "Rose?" I looked down at her, but she wasn't looking back. "The blood." She looked up. Her eyes, they weren't hazel anymore they were.... red.

*Regular POV*

Rose clenched her fists. She was straining. The blood, it just smelled so good. "Scott. The blood." She looked up at him, "You have to get out of here-" Scott started to say something but he was cut off as she doubled over in pain. What was happening to her? Rose looked down. The necklace, it was glowing? But, why?

~FLASH!~

'The light, its the same light that I saw in the meadow. The one right before I turned into- Oh no.' She thought grabbing her side which now felt soft and smooth. Leather?


*Scotts POV*


'What's happening to her? First a flash and now- Wow, she looks hot in leather.' She stood up, she wasn't even looking at me anymore she was looking behind me. 'WOAH! She had weapons and everything-!' He thought, 'Calm down, dude. This is NOT a time to be having fantasies.' I stood up with her and turned around. Who was that guy? Whoever he was he had black hair, and red eyes, like Rose. 'So this must be one of the vampires she was talking about.' "Rose?" I asked. She didn't even look in my direction, just pushed me out of the way.

"Are you crazy!?" I grabbed her wrist and she stopped. 'Well that was easy' I thought. Rose turned around and started laughing. "Do you REALLY think I'm going to let a puny thing like you stop me from getting my revenge?" She said, still laughing. This wasn't Rose. For one thing she had a different voice, and different hair and eyes. "You're not Rose" I exclaimed. "Of course I'm not Rose, you idiot!" She scoffed at me, "I'm the vampire side of her. I'm stronger, faster, more intelligent, AND better looking. Now, are you going to let go of my wrist or am I going to have to MAKE you" She sounded so bitter, so cold. What the heck was going on!?


*Roses POV*


'What am I saying? I would NEVER say something like that to Scott!' "Who are you!? Why are you in my body!? Let me go! What are you doing!?" My screams were useless. It was like yelling at a wall to move. But, I couldn't do ANYTHING. All, I could do is sit there and wait.


*Regular POV*

Scott sat in awe as what was supposed to be his girlfriend, turned into a blood-thirsty killer. 'What am I supposed to do now?' Scott thought. So, he did what anyone's instincts would've told him. He ran.

"Ah, Rosalina. Glad you could show up for the party." Riquel chuckled. "Are you going to blabber, or fight?" Vampire Rose answered. "Ah, eager are we? But, don't get your panties in a twist. You won't be fighting me today. You'll be fighting, these young brutes." Riquel chuckled his deep throaty chuckle and was gone. "COWARD!" She screamed after him.

"What brutes are you even talking
