Chapter 4
Homework sucks. It's so pointless. What makes it worse is watching my other family members speed through there home in minutes because they have already gone through high school enough times that homework is a no brain for them. Its irritating to me that it takes me hours to finish the same assignments as them. I could ask for their help but I'm too proud to do so. Besides it's not like the assignments are hard for me because they aren't. I finish my homework much faster then most of the teenagers in my grade taking the same classes as me. Its just I've only just learn how to do my assignments while my family have had years of practice at it but, still I feel as if I have yet another imperfect in comparison to my flawless family.
"Sonny." a voice whispered from the doorway.
In the door way Bella stood staring at me with a strangely sad look gracing her normally bright and smiling face. More and more the sad face always seemed to be staring at me. I knew I caused her some pain but I was beginning to think I cause her more pain then I'd ever meant. I tried to smile at her to ease some of the worry from her face but the smile must not have reached my eyes because she frowned ever so slightly.
"How is your school work coming along?" she asked as she settled on to my couch.
"It's easy enough" I sighed pushing my school books away from me.
Bella opened her mouth but then closed it in thought. She began to run her fingers through her hair as she nibbled at her bottom lip. It was nervous habit of her that was always a sign she had something she wanted to talk about with me. I pretended to not notice and started to pick my clothes off my floor. I could feel her eyes on me as I worked. When I finished clearing my room of my miss places clothes I decided to be the one to break.
"I can't read minds like Edward. Bella, what is its?" I mumbled.
"Am I that easy to read?" Bella asked a smile playing at her lips.
I nodded as I flipped through some CDs. I didn't want to look at her. I could feel the conversation coming. One we had over and over again and it always ended the same, with me angry and her hurt. I knew she only meant to help but it often enough just made me beyond upset.
"I was hoping that you were planning on actually making Robbie your friend. I know you don't trust your felt not to feed and I wanted…" I cut her off.
"Stop it. I'm trying okay? Please stop pushing me!" I growled as I crashed my fist through the wall.
Bella stood in shock as I brushed past her. I was out of the house before anyone could stop me. Mindlessly, I ran unsure of where I was heading. I listened to the forest to hear if I was being followed, I wasn't. I was deep into the forest when I finally slowed my pace. Suddenly I heard something.
"Hey, what's a good little vampire like you doing out here?" asked a voice
Instantly I was crouching ready for a fight. I looked through the forest in front of me but saw nothing. Listening hard I tried to find the owner of the voice.
"Oh relax!" called the voice.
Then a red eyed vixen jumped from the tree above me. She landed inches from me. Her curly blonde locks danced in the wind. Her eyes were what stopped me cold. They were like glass but shined like diamonds. She looked like Bella, but different at the same time. Her body was much more thin and angler then Bella.
"Who the hell are you?" I yelled
She giggled like a little girl only it had a strange edge to it. The clothes she was wearing were strange and slightly tattered. Her blouse was a strange gray color that looked almost like the color of steel but minus the shine. It was at least two sizes to big on her small frame. She wore loss legged dress pants that were being ruffled by the wind. A sharp black peacoat that barely brushes her knees hung over her shoulders making her look even smaller.
"Now is that any way to talk to lady! Oh never mind call me Claret." she laughed.
"Well Miss Claret I should be going" I murmured taking a step back.
I could tell she wasn't the type of vampire my family would be friend. Red eyes meant she hunted humans and the way she moved was a sign she was a true hunter. There was an animal like quality to her. She smiled too wide showing her sharp white teeth and fangs.
"Aw no, sweetie, stay, stay! I must know more about you!" she giggled coming even closer to me.
"Miss Claret I must be going…" she cut me off with a hot kiss.
My mind spun and became undone. It was like I was under an ocean of lava but the heat was pure bliss. Suddenly I found myself kissing her back. I'd never kissed anyone before so I wasn't sure what I was doing but it felt so right. Her hands slid all over my body making me feel unlike anyone had before. I moaned under her touch and began to touch her body. Then in a blink of an eye she pulled back and flipped a card at me.
"That my cell number, give me a ring some time, that is if you get bored being a good little vampire." She laughed and then took off running
I stood numbly staring out into the forest after her until I could see her no more. Then the shock of what had happened faded and was able to think again. My first kiss had been taken by a stranger, a human blood drinking vampire no less. I could taste the blood on her lips and tongue it was good, but not good enough to make me want to slip. My lips felt hot still which is a rather strange thought because I had never noticed there temperature before. The thin card felt hot too but perhaps that was just my mind. I looked down at it. Ten digits were printed in neat red ink. I shook my head trying to think straight but all I could think of was that red eyed vixen and how much I wished I had my cell phone.
