Bitten By Love CH 1.2
That lecture was pure torture. Will would not stop staring at me but when 11:20 finally came, I rapidly run out the class. Breathing heavy on the stairwell I looked up the stairs and he was out of sight. I decided to go to the school café to buy some lunch. I walked up to the Barista and she greeted me ‘hello’. I smiled back and suddenly felt a cold shiver.
“She’ll
have the Chocolate Sweet Bun.” I heard a familiar voice say. My whole body
tensed up as his powerful heat consumed me. I turned around to face him and all
he did was smile. I rolled my eyes and crossed my arms.
“…And
he’ll have the BLT with ham.” I added. After he generously paid for my meal. I
gave him a ‘thankful’ smile and tried to walk away but he stopped me.
“You
always were the best at running away, Cassandra Lowe.” he joked.
“You
know I hate it when you say my full name Will.
Now, I do have my next class in ten minutes. So, thanks for the meal and I
guess I will see you later.” I responded. I didn’t want to act like I was
brushing him off, but he started all of this first, so I have the right to be a
little distance.
“Alrighty…I
guess I will see you later, Cassy!”
he stated. I gave him a wave, still confused about what he meant by ‘see you
later’.
My
next class was kind of fun, but that was only because I love Psychology. Which
is what my major is in, and I want to learn all I can before it’s too late. I
only phrased it this way because of the deal my father made with me and my
sister. That deal being that we could go to college and live a somewhat normal
life, but in return if the guard force to the King ever needed our family, that
with no questions asked, we would join them right away. My father used to work
as a top-rank guard who mapped out battle plans for the Kings guards to help
protect the kingdom. But once he retired, that job would be passed on to us.
So,
somedays I’m just happy that everything is peaceful for now. I walked pass a
group of girls by the dorms entrance.
“Did
you hear about the missing level three female vampires?” one said.
“Yeah,
and I heard more have gone missing too. Especially here in Sibiu (state). The
King is trying hard to hide it, but everyone already knows that the Hunter X
group is behind this.” the other replied. I scanned my hallo-card in the lobby
and the elevator doors opened. You must love todays advance technology, but now
wasn’t the time for admiring. I couldn’t stop thinking about those girls’
conversation. If the Hunter X group was behind the murders, then this would be
a severe problem. Hunter X is a group of rebellious humans who are hunters, who
are trying to take down the king and take back control of the country. They are
a tough group and their leader is someone to not take lightly. Even though we
have never seen their face, this person is super intelligent and knows how to
take down any kind of vampire. That some say even the King cannot beat.
“But
why only level three vampires though?” I questioned. I looked through my bag
for my key but before I could open the door, I saw a yellow note on the door.
“Even
though you played that mean prank on me, I still love you. Which is why I’m inviting
you to this cool vampire party the jocks are throwing in the gym room. I
thought this would be the perfect time for you to mingle with some hot jocks
and not be alone all your life…Which I remind you is a really long time.
From your sissy.” I read. I saw the number eight circled in red. The time the
party started.
“Really
Ari…Ah!” I yelled, falling to the floor. Some guy with a huge box in his hands
had knocked me over. This guy must have been the new neighbor who had his boxes
out here early.
“I’m
so sorry. The box was blocking my view and…Cassy!?”. I looked at the guy face
and sat there shocked.
“Will!?
What the heck are you…” I looked over at the opened next door. “You’re my new
neighbor!?” I shouted. Will stood and extended his hand. I took it and he
helped me up. Just from that one pull I could feel how powerful he has grown.
“Thank you.”
“You’re
welcome…and yeah, that’s strange. My grandfather had set up everything even the
dorm room. So, I had no idea you would be my next-door neighbor. Maybe it’s a
sign.” he mumbled that last sentence, but I still heard him.
“A
sign for you to leave without a trace.” I retorted, crossing my arms. I
unlocked my door and before I could completely walk in, Zero came rushing out
into Will arms.
“Zero!
How have you been boy? I’ve see you gotten bigger since the last time I saw
you!” he said, rubbing his head. Zero licked his face with joy. Whose side are you on Zero!? I thought.
I snapped my finger and Zero ran back in the room. “So, you’re hiding a wolf in
the dorms…you never seem to change Cassy.” he commented.
“Well
at least one of us still choose to stay the same, my Prince.” I teased,
extending my hand. He grabbed it and snickered. I felt a strong pull of his
hand. The next thing I knew I was in his arms. His embrace was warm yet gentle
and I could hear his slow heartbeat. My face started to burn with embarrassment
but for some reason I could not pull away.
“I’m
sorry for leaving you, Cassy.” he whispered in my ear. I shivered at his breath
while trying to hold back my tears. I gently pushed him away and smiled.
“Listen
Will. I know how you are royalty and your life can become really busy. So, I
can understand why you were unable to keep in contact with me.” I said. I
watched as he picked up my bag and hand it to me. He then went to go pick up
his box.
“You
always did get me Cassy…but if it was up to me, I would have seen you every day
over the summer if I could have. But you know how my father can be.” he
replied.
“Yeah,
I’m surprised you are still able to stand him after all these years.”
“Well
that’s true, but I am thankful for one thing he has done though…”. He walked
towards his door and sat the box inside. “…and that’s letting me stay friends
with you.” he expressed. I looked at
him and smiled.
“Hmm I guess you’re right.” I stated.
“Yep,
so I guess I will see you tonight at the party then, later.” he said.
“Yeah,
see you at the…wait, what!?!” I exclaimed as he closed the door.
****
“Go
get it!” I yelled. Zero charged after a huge branch. He brought it back with
ease and laid it in front of me. I patted his head and smiled. “Good boy! Now
let’s try some attack moves now.” I commented.
“Howl!” he nodded.
Me and
Zero would always come to our favorite spot in the evergreen forest to have
some fun. Sure, it was hard to sneak him in and out the dorm, but just to see
his energetic face was worth it. I picked up the branch and focused my
strength. I tossed the branch and as it soared through the air, Zero chased
after it. Ever since I saved him as a pup with my blood transfusion. I noticed
that as I grew in skill, so did he. So just like me he has amazing strength and
speed. Along with a menacing howl, spectacular smell, and vicious bit. I
watched as he released a strong howl and cracked the branch in two.
“Amazing!”
I yelled, clapping. “Now bring both pieces back.”. Within seconds he brought
both pieces back and then pounced on top of me. His fur getting all over my
top. I couldn’t help but laugh at his actions. I pushed him off and dusted his
fur from me.
“Great,
now it looks like I’m wearing a grey sweater. Thanks a lot, Zero.” I said. I
turned around and readied myself, kneeling. I snapped my finger and Zero stood
next to me. “Race you back to the dorm and remember to enter through the window,
boy.”
He
nodded and took off first which was cheating. I rolled my eyes and dashed off.
We both ran side by side until I took the lead. I could see the campus up ahead.
I heard a familiar howl and looked to my left to see Zero had caught up. He
dashed pass me and started to run up the side of the building.
“Show
off!” I stated, following his lead. I saw my open window and dived into my
room. I was breathing heavily while Zero thought nothing of this race and went
to go eat his food. “Wow, I lost to a wolf…am I really that out of shape.” I
mumbled. Closing the window to keep the AC in. I jumped onto my bed and decided
to take a small nap before the party.
I
looked around and saw I was in a huge and I mean huge bedroom. The walls were
painted silver with red horizontal stripes. There was a massive king size bed
in the middle of the room and a closet to the far left. A bathroom to my right
and a television and sofa in front of the bed. I felt something weird on my
feet and when I looked down, I was wearing some very expensive looking
slippers. I walked over to a nearby body mirror and saw I was wearing a robe.
“Where am I?” I
thought. The door creaked open and my eyes went wide. A shirtless Will came
walking into the room. He was wearing nothing but a waist towel. A wicked
smiled appeared on his face as he closed the door.
“Will is this your room? Why am I at the
Kingdom? And where are my clothes?!” I questioned with a stuttered
tone. He ignored my questions and placed his finger on my lips. We made eye
contact and soon I found myself lost for words. I stood there still and unable
to move. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. I could feel all
his warmth on me, making my face flush. I wanted to push him away, but my body
would not listen to me. My heart started to beat out my chest as my body
temperature went hot. Will started to move his lips closer and the next thing I
knew, they were on mine. The kiss was soft and romantic. He stopped and
whispered something in my ear.
“Immortal Love.” he
repeated over and over. I was confused by what he meant but all the mystery
went away. As he kissed me again this time harder, his tongue slipping into my
mouth. Our tongues swirled together in harmony as I felt his hand glide down to
my butt. He groped it with force while his free hand untied my robe. It fell to
the floor. I’m I naked in front of Will? My mind just couldn’t believe it.
Everything felt so real and my heart was happy, but why does it feel so wrong? He
started kissing all over my neck and roamed his way down to my breast. One hand
massaged one while he sucked the other. My mind just couldn’t take this
anymore. I wanted him, needed him.
He
pushed me onto his bed. Kissing me more and more. His hand grazing my thigh
while his other tortured my breast. It felt like I was about to explode from
the amounts of pleasure. As he kissed my lips once more, I begged this would
never end. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer. I could
feel every part of his weight on me. He moved his lips back to my neck as he
starts to lick it intensely. It felt so good, but then that intense pleasure
went away as my neck went numb. I peered over and saw his fangs were showing
and his red eyes were glowing. I watched as his fangs dived towards my neck as
I gripped his back.
“No!”
I panicked. I looked around me and saw I was back in my room. Sweat was
dripping from my forehead. “What the hell?” I mumbled. Zero rubbed against me
to calm me down. I hugged him and leaned my head on his shoulder. He started to
moan with worry, but I patted his head to let him know I was okay. I looked at
the clock and jumped out of bed with hurry. Usual I wouldn’t care about being
late for a party because I would never attend one. But when it was a party that
my sister invited me to, that was a different story. If I show up late then I
would never hear the end of it and I mean never.
I slipped on a simple black tank dress with silk-knitted fingerless gloves and
my ankle-wedge boots. I was pondering whether to hang my hair down. Then a loud
door slam broke my focus. It came from next door which made my dream reenter my
head. My cheeks grew red and my heart started to pound faster.
“No,
focus Cassy. Focus.” I stated, slapping my cheeks. Shaking my head, I decided
to let my hair hang and grabbed my bag. I headed out the door and to the campus
gym. Once I arrived, I pushed open the door and saw the whole place was dim and
dark. There were a few party lights to help the humans see but because we could
see in the dark we barely needed lights to have an enjoyable time. The music
was loud as I walked passed some dancing people. I noticed a few were making
out in the corner while others were secretly spiking the drinks.
I
searched through the crowd for my sister, but she was nowhere to be found. I
decided to lean against a wall and wait for her to appear. While I was waiting
a tall, well-built, and tan guy with brown spiky hair came next to me. He was
wearing a school logo hoodie and baggy grey jogging pants.
“Such
a lame party. I don’t see why they throw one every semester.” he commented. I
snickered at his comment and nodded my head.
“Yeah
you’re telling me…. but at least when they get sloppy drunk we’ll have an
amazing video footage to put on social media.” I joked. He laughed at my joke
and extended his hand.
“Nice
one. My name is Xavier.” he said. I shook his hand and smiled into his bright
green eyes.
“Cassandra
but people call me Cassy!” I screamed as the music got louder. He motioned his
head to under the seating stairs and I nodded. We swiftly went over to the
stairs and under them.
“That’s
better. I swear after tonight no vampire in this room will be able to hear.” he
commented.
“Yeah
you’re right so thanks for saving me.”
“You’re
welcome Ms. Stomp.”
“Wait…No!
You were in the class when I did that to my sister?!” I laughed.
“Oh
yeah and I have to admit some people thought it was uncool, but I thought it
was hilarious.”
“Thank
you! Finally, someone who understands the sibling love we share.”
“Hey,
I know exactly how you feel. I’m the youngest of my two older brothers and we
treat each other that way all the time…. Hey, speak of the devil.” He pointed
over my shoulder to a nearby corner near the drink table. I saw my sister was
over there talking to someone and when I used my sight I saw it was Will. And
from the looks of it, it looked like she was talking his ears off. She was also
wobbling which told me she was drunk. She was always a light-weight.
“Hey,
do you want a drink? It may be spiked though.” he warned.
