Turn Me by Aurora Kryan (novels for students .txt) 📖

and neither of us moved I could feel him behind me still as a statue. Finally he broke the silence by clearing his throat.

“Um Lyric you need to know something.” He said Horsley.

“That you’re a vampire? Yeah I got that memo.” I said sarcastically.

He groaned then his arm disappeared from the door. I slowly turned around to face him but I saw nothing in my room. I searched my closet for him but he was nowhere to be found. I was kind of glad, how cheese would be finding a vampire in closet be? There was a bang from in the hall that startled me and I spun around to look at my open door. I went to it shutting it shut it,

shutting it? I never opened it.

I cracked it open and stuck my head out into the dark hallway.

“Gage?” I called out.

“This way Lyric there’s a power outage.” His disembodied voice came back.

Power outage?

I turned my head to look into my room and sure enough my lamp and fan had shut off. The only light came from my windows above my bed. I felt panic sweep over me I hated the dark, well ok I loved it so long as I could turn a light on if something scared me. I slammed the door shut and ran to my bed pulling the covers over my knees as I sat on the headboard next to the light.

I wasn’t going out there without power, in the dark, with my friend, who’s a vampire! Is he nuts?

I pulled the blanket over my one shoulder and rested my head on the window.

If I wasn’t hallucinating maybe it was a dream and I can wake up.

I closed my eyes focusing and forcing myself to wake up. Someone tapped my shoulder breaking my concentration. My eyes flew open as I flew back off my head board and onto my bed.

The first thing I saw were Gage’s red eyes looking at me. I scooted to the far end of my bed as he sat down on it. I was stuck in the corner with no way out and I was starting to think this wasn’t a dream.

Chapter three

“Are you ok Lyric?” He asked.

“Hell no,” I squealed, “you’re a vampire!”

“Oh about that I need to tell you something.”

“What that you’re here to finish feeding?”

“No!” He sounded horrified.

He reached his hand out and I leaned away from it this time.

How could I trust him when he lied to me for a year about being human?

He let his hand fall onto the bed when I leaned to far out of his easy reach. He looked down at my black bed sheet then disappeared again. I shrieked and slammed my back against the wall as I stood up to watch the whole room.

I scanned it and found him on the floor sitting with his back against my door. His arms and legs just sat there where ever they wanted and his head was turned away from me. He looked dead like he had a heart attack and collapsed there. Out of sheer stupid curiosity I got off the bed and made my way to him. I grabbed my mini wizards bat along the way and poked him with it like a moron.

His hand caught it on the third poke and I screamed swinging at his head. A crack rang out in my room as the bat fell in two pieces on the floor. My hands were numb and tingly like I had struck a concrete floor as hard as I could.

“You broke my bat.” I told him annoyed.

“You poked me like I was some dead animal.”

“For all I knew you were. Your just sitting there like a rag doll.” I waved a hand motioning to him.

“What am I suppose to do? You’re afraid of me but I have to tell you something.”

I frowned at him he looked so distressed. Kneeling next to him I poked his shoulder with my finger. His head rolled to face me still acting like he was dead. Then I realized he wasn’t a vampire,

well ok yeah he was, but he’s still my friend. He’s always been a vampire and I liked him for him. And he’s a vampire so get over it lyric.

I sighed as I returned to my old self and stood up looking down on him.

“I’m still hungry.” I told him.

He didn’t move so I pulled the door open and shoved him out of the way with it. I really was hungry and this vampire drama was making it worse. I popped my lasagna in the microwave and stared off at it as it rotated. Cold hands spun me around to face the kitchen. The so called rag doll was standing before me frowning still and searched my face. I put my hands over my chest and glared at him when the microwave beeped.

First he wanted food then he was sulking and I was really hungry but he wouldn’t get out of my way, now he’s distracting me from the saucy goodness behind me.

He reached his hand up again slowly touching my shoulder. I made no move I just ignored it till he slid it up to my neck then I slapped him away. My stomach was demanding food now not Gage and his hotness.

“Your not as afraid now.”

“Duh.” I said eating.

“Why?”

“I got over it. You’re a vampire that’s awesome just don’t scare like that ok?”

“You got over it?!” He yelled.

I nodded my head taking another bite of delicious lasagna. Gage grumbled striding over to me to rip my lasagna from my hands. The fork hung in my mouth as I reached out for it. He pulled it back more saying no. I let my hands drop to my side glaring. Then I had an idea I took the fork out of my mouth chewing the food.

I struck out stabbing him with the fork and snatching back my delicious. His mouth dropped open and he stared at me.

“What you’re fine it’s just a fork.” I said waving it at him.

I stuck more food in my mouth then spit it back out. It tasted salty and just ew. I looked at the fork and saw almost black blood on it. I was mesmerized by it almost like I was in a trance then the fork was gone and I looked around the kitchen confused.

“You can’t be…” Gage said.

“What?”

“Nothing.”

Chapter four

I was sitting across from him waiting for answers as I finished my food. When two minutes passed and he never stopped looking away from my eyes I got upset. I took the dishes to the sink washing and talking.

“Spill already!”

He said nothing and I spun to look at thin air. I grumbled looking around for him.

He is not getting away till he answers me!

I hunted the whole dark spooky house for him. Finding nothing and I had one room left, mine. I squinted at the door hearing noise coming from the other side.

I flung it open finding Gage lounging on my bed watching TV like he normally would if he came over. I got a side long look and then he was looking back at the TV. I stomped over blocking his path with hands on my hips. He looked at my eyes curious.

“What it’s your birthday I figured you’d wana have some fun.” He said.

The corner of my mouth twitched and a blush flushed in over my cheeks. I stared back at his red eyes thinking bad thoughts.

He’s on my bed wanting to have fun for my birthday?

I shook my head trying to clear it again. He looked at me questioningly and I mouthed you-don’t-wana-no to him. He shrugged scooting back so I had space to sit on my bed with him.

I took a seat on the very edge and messed with my hands again. Gage must really hate that because he grabbed then to stop me from doing it again. I avoided his eyes because all I wanted to do was lean forward and kiss him. Just look at the floor, and I did.

“Why are you nervous about me now?”

I looked at him blinking.

What did he mean why was I nervous about him? I mean I was but how did he know?

My face must have shown my confusion because he sighed scooting closer till he was right on top of me practically. I squirmed under his hands wanting to get off the bed and sit in my chair like I normally would. He wouldn’t allow it he seemed to be testing something as he scooted back again.

My body settled down and then he came closer again this time placing his hand on my shoulder by my neck. I squirmed madly uneasy with him so close when I was still thinking about kissing him. He smiled seeming to connect the pieces as he pulled out my mp3 player I had forgotten on the swing. He held my wrists hostage in his one hand as he surfed though my music.

He must have found something good because he rested the player on my night stand with the speakers in.

“What are y-“He cut me off with a finger.

As the music started playing I heated up more. It was a love song, 1234 by Plain White T’s, and Gage was running his hand down my shoulder and back up to my neck. I shivered and he smiled knowingly. I closed my eyes letting him lay me on the bed pinning my hands above my head as he nuzzled my neck. I shivered again.

Vampire nuzzling your neck not a good idea, oh who gives a damn keep going!

His lips brushed my neck and I moaned making him stiffen some as he let his fangs glide over my skin again. I struggled in his grip but he held me still keeping my hands above my head. I shifted my body so I could slide out from under him, but he wasn’t having that. He pressed down on me trapping me under his cold body. I felt his breath become ragged and my eyes flew open to find him staring at me hungrily.

Chapter five

I swallowed hard afraid he might tear out my throat. But then if he wanted to I think he would have already. He started to get off me when Adore by Paramore started playing. He was hallway up when I seized his wrists and pulled him back down on me keeping his wrists above my head.

I felt him stiffen into a statue and stare at my neck. I turned my head to the left looking at the door so my neck was exposed. He started to jump away from me but I tightened my grip on his wrists telling him to stay. Somehow I kept him there but he still didn’t relax.

“If I let you love me, be the adored would you go all the way?” I sang with the song.

I felt him look at my eyes and I gave him a side long look still turned with
