breath. Gently I pressed a hand to his chest. No heart beat, no breathing. A sob hitched in my chest. He was so weak from lack of blood I killed him.

“Ga-Gavin?” Yeah calling his name would wake him. “Gavin?” I sounded like a little sheep lost in the woods, waiting for the wolf to gobble her up.

I started crying loud heavy sobs of grief. Why did it have to be this way? Why Gavin? My gut twisted and I doubled over. Hands pressing to his chest I cried over his body like some maiden who lost her prince. Vampire or not he was my friend, why didn’t I see that five seconds sooner? A floor board behind me creaked and I whirled coming face to face with him.

The blood drained from my face, all movement and feeling just stopping like someone flipped a switch. The only thing I did was stare, stare at the pair of red eyes staring at me, and stare at the boy of my nightmares in the middle of my room.

“Nice to see you’re still alive, Sky.”

I couldn’t react to his voice. No if I did it meant he was real and so was Gavin’s cold body. A sinister smile played at the edges of his lips making him look like a possessed china doll. His head tipped to the side, eyes of horror looking passed me. My chest started to burn from lack of oxygen but I couldn’t breath I just couldn’t, I was too afraid.

Locks of perfect golden blonde hair fell to the side revealing a net work of interlocking tattoos on his forehead. It was like some kind of marking, it was familiar too. My eyes started shaking then just from the pure terror of seeing him. He was like a pale prince of darkness come to rip out my soul and consume my heart. Hell he probably was, so much for living passed eighteen.

“Seems Gavin was too slow to save you this time.”

What did he mean by this time? His eyes slid back to me slowly. He took a step forward a cape of black feather wings billowing out behind him. I gasped jerking back ever so slightly. It felt like my bones had shattered I was so tense. He smiled again, this time playfully. It seemed scarier then when he was being evil. I noticed the vaguest hint of dimples on his pale lifeless cheeks. He couldn’t be much older then five still.

The wings rustled and he lifted off the ground a couple inches. Great he could fly, like I wasn’t terrified enough of him before. Without blinking he floated over, the hem of his nightgown blowing in some invisible wind that surrounded only him. His head tiled to the side again revealing that lace work on his forehead. My heart finally started pumping again but I wished it hadn’t, it seemed to draw his attention.

Mouth opening slightly he licked his lips. The motion sent shivers down my spine. He was here to kill and feed on me I had no doubt in my mind. Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped around me pulling me back into someone. I started to scream but the sensation was familiar, like I had been hugged by these arms a thousand times before. Gavin. A deep territorial snarl erupted in the room.

The boys face snapped back in to that evil glare, lips pulling back over his teeth like some dog. “You traitorous day walker,” He hissed, eyes fixed on the one holding me,” I will slay you myself next time Gavin!”

My eyes went wide, heart leaping when he said Gavin. The joy was replaced by terror as the boy flung his arms out and started floating over to us. I couldn’t help it I screamed. Gavin’s arms tightened around me, muscles tensing in his legs. He jumped back just as the boy touched his arm protecting my waist. I felt the bone crush, three long bloody gouges poured over his forearm.

We blasted away from the boy and out the window; glass shattered but never touched me. Whirling the boy roared at us, face twisted into a darker version of the haunting eyes from my passed. He was truly evil. Rushing forward the boy swatted what remained of my south wall. It collapsed easily. Closing my eyes I screamed again, his face imprinted into the back of my eyes forever.

“She will never be yours.” It was Gavin shouting at the boy as we hovered in the sky.

“She already is.”

My eyes flew open again. He was right there in front of me. Eyes going wide my body felt like a jolt of electricity as the fear sparked back to life. It was too much I couldn’t take it any more. The world tunneled, the face of a very pissed off vampire child the last thing I saw. Gavin shouted at him again but the kid’s response was lost in the wind around us. I did how ever hear Gavin, he sounded as pissed as the boy.

“You’ll never have her Liam, I swear it!”
Chapter 4 - Heart Broken Tears


Rolling onto my side I groaned, my head was pounding. All the fear and adrenaline from seeing the boy had played hell with my body. A floor board creaked to my left. My eyes flew open suddenly, heart pounding like a freight train. Balling my hands I swung out blindly.

“Sky easy, it’s me Emma.”

A pair of small hands wrapped around my wrists. Blinking my eyes slowly refocused in the dim light. This wasn’t my bed room, I could tell that, but it was someone’s bedroom. The girl who addressed herself as Emma smiled at me revealing perfect glistening white teeth. Curls of russet red auburn fell around her framing that angular cat like face. Familiar hazel eyes smiled at me, that phantom green that ringed them making my heart slow.

“Emma?” I questioned like a moron.

“Yes Sky it’s me. You want to stop trying to beat my face in?” I blinked then looked down at my fists trapped in her hands. I let them relax. “There you go. Want some water or honey milk?”

I nodded. The motion seemed to make it feel like my brain was nothing but jello. Releasing my hands Emma kissed my forehead gently before she disappeared. She made me feel like a child; considering I was in shock it didn’t really bother me to much. Rubbing my arm absentmindedly I stared at the blankets covering my legs.

I felt stiff and numb like everything inside of me had been ripped out with my emotions. I just didn’t know what to do. Bowing my head I pressed my hands to my ears. I felt like I was going to explode. That face was burned into my mind; I would never get rid of it now. My breath hitched. I was starting to hyperventilate. The events from last night were starting to catch up to me.

Shaking I started to rock back and forth like I had lost my mind. Maybe I had. That boy, he was going to come back. He was going to try and kill me again. And he wouldn’t rest until he did. Then there was Gavin, my best and only friend Gavin, the vampire, who I had killed in my room. But then he rescued me at the last second taking me away from the one thing I feared.

Images flashed through my mind. The boys face from my passed, my burning house, being left on the floor covered in blood, Gavin’s body on the floor, the return of the boy, his wings beating and chasing after us. Something touched my shoulder gently and I screamed, jerking back into the head board of the bed.

“Sky it’s only me.”

My scream cut off like some strangled cat. Watery eyes worked hard to focus on the tall shadow leaning over me. The world fell out from under me as a pair of deep ocean blue eyes stared at me from behind a couple stray locks of brown hair. Shaking I reached out to touch him. He was solid, chest rising and falling in a normal rhythm.

“Gavin!” I screamed finally, throwing my self at him.

I think I caught him by surprise. Staggering back he struggled to right himself as I sobbed into his black shirt. Clawing at his chest I cried like a blubbering idiot. I wasn’t sure what had come over me but all that mattered was that he was alive. Shifting my face I pressed it into his shoulder, eyes staring at his neck. His heart was beating loudly in his chest; skin that off warm that felt cold.

My eyes drifted shut. “Don’t do that to me you ass.” I choked out around a sob.

“What do you mean?”

He sounded distance and his arms were limp at his side. He was still afraid of my reaction to him. Grabbing a hand full of his shirt I looked up at him, eyes still watery. I felt more like myself with him around, but he was making me angry. We had been so close and he never once told me he was a vampire until I almost killed him.

“You snuck into my room and become a vampire. You didn’t even tell me.” My head fell back into his shoulder, tears running freely again. “I thought I killed you,” I hiccupped,” you are such a jerk, I hate you.”

“Sky,” finally his arms wrapped round me. It was what I had been waiting for, “I didn’t want to tell you because I knew you would hate me.”

I frowned, pushing back to look at his face. His arms loosened but never let go of me. His eyes were distance and glazed over. Sniffling I did the only thing I could in such a position. I slapped him. He blinked shaking himself back from what ever dark place he had went. Pressing a hand to his cheek he blinked again like he couldn’t believe I just slapped him.

“You fucking idiotic jerk.” He was totally lost.

Both arms let go of me as I slid off the bed to stand in front of him. Amazing how much good a cry can do. He took one step back, head dropping to hide his face. Was he waiting for me to hit him again? He was such a boy, never understanding how I felt.

“I don’t hate you like that. I hate you because,” I pushed his chest, angry hurt tears falling down my face. His head lifted so I could see his eyes,” you didn’t trust me enough to tell me you were a vampire.”

“That’s what bothers you?” Each word was slow and confused.

I glared through the tears, I don’t think
