around me and smiled sarcastically.
“No, actually I’m here to see Aaron…” I took off his arm and he did this skip waltz thing up the stairs.
“Sure, I’ll take you to him because you’re the only one he’s nice to.” And then he stopped halfway up the stairs.
“Do you know how frustrating this is all the time? Just what are you to Lord Aaron?!” The stair case was suddenly filled with flames and when I tried to step back a new set of flames flew behind me; I was trapped.
“When I was a little girl Aaron saved me from a vampire that was trying to murder me! I wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for him!” it was getting really hot now, and sweat was running down my back.
“I never knew that, but since he saved your life then the least you could do is give him every drop of blood your body has to offer…” he walked through the flames and wasn’t burned, but he had a power alright. One that could probably burn me right now, but I don’t think he would push it that far.
“Now I see your blood belongs to Lord Aaron! You’re just his blood pet! But then whose bite marks are those, because they aren’t his…” Felix started to laugh. He had taken off my bandage and I snatched it back.
“Felix, that’s enough,” my hand was about to slap Felix but a hand grabbed mine firmly.
“Enough Amy…” Aaron was right next to me, his hand curved around my waist protectively. He had my hand on his hand.
“Lord Aaron I’m_” Aaron slapped Felix so hard blood started to drip down Felix’s chin.
“Go up to your dorm and don’t come out of there till tomorrow. I will personally escort you to class today.” Felix ran up the stairs like a little puppy and I heard a door slam; the dorm shuddered.
“I’m sorry Amy that was completely uncalled for!” The flames where gone and the anger had rushed out of his eyes when he looked at me. I was in his slender but toned chest. I was defiantly blushing, but I put my arms around him. He kissed my neck and then broke free. My heart was hammering out of my chest, and I felt kind of wobbly. He had just kissed me, Lord Aaron, the vampire of vampire’s, one of the people I had the urge to protect. Sam jumped down the stairs and hid me behind him. What the hell was he doing? He was pointing Pearl-Rose at Aaron and suddenly behind Aaron were Brian, Zero, and Felix! Felix was trying to cringe away since he wanted to protect his master, but then again he wanted to obey orders.
“How dare you point that to Lord Aaron?” Zero was in defensive pose.
“Fairly I think the least we could do to him is killing him.” Brian, as usual, looked bored but somehow a little more crouched. Everyone was bearing their teeth at Sam, but Sam was smiling.
“I’m up to the challenge, but are you?” Sam asked Aaron, but Aaron eyes almost looked like they were filled with flames. The floor almost started to shift like an earth-quake and then I saw the giant piece of the ground being aimed at Sam. They were going to hurt each other and I went right in the middle of them.
“Stop it, both of you! If Sam gets hurt I’ll get hurt and if Aaron gets hurt I’ll get hurt! I’m not going to pick sides! We’re all on the same side you just don’t realize it…” I put my hand on Aaron’s chest and the giant piece of the ground settled where it’s supposed to be. I put my hand on Sam’s chest and he dropped his gun and he slapped my hand away. He stormed out and the door slammed. Everyone was gone except for Aaron, he was standing there staring at me.
“Even when you do hurt me, my adoration and affection for you will never change…” his hand caressed my cheek and I looked down.
“How is it that whenever I admit my feelings for you it always has the opposite effect. It makes me kind of lonely.” His eyes saddened and he started to walk me to the door.
“And I’m sorry for that Aaron! It seems when I try to protect the ones I love it has the opposite effect on you.” He smiled and handed me back Rose-Pearl and Pearl-Rose. I hadn’t realized it had fallen on the ground.
“Next time don’t come here, it is very dangerous for you…or at least bring Sam to protect you.” He opened the door, but I stayed in place.
“I actually came to make a request….please don’t put Sam in the midnight class! I know its endangering people, but he’s controlled now. I know it’s very bad mannered, but I was listening to your conversation with the head-master! You said Sam would fall to a Level Z?” I was staring down afraid of what he would say.
“I knew you were there by the way. I’ll give you a vampire rank order, it seems less confusing. Rank 1 Purebloods like, I, Rank 2 Necromancers like Felix, Zero, and Brian, they have powers as well as purebloods, but purebloods have more powers than there are numbers. Rank 3 regular vampires with no powers and then finally those who don’t even make the Ranks called Level Z. It is the last letter of the alphabet so it means the end of humanity. The human must be bit by a pureblood and not be given a purebloods blood that’s how humans turn to Level Z. A purebloods blood is so strong that the human body can’t handle it and they lose their humanity which makes them dangerous. All they will want is blood, and they’ll never look the same, and they won’t remember their human life. Just like beasts in human form…” Aaron tried to reassure me, but I swiped his hand away lightly.
“So that’s what’s going to…” I dashed outside and didn’t look back to see if Aaron was okay. I had to find Sam! His dorm was the best place to look. He spends most of his time there anyway, sulking. I didn’t even ask to come in; I just searched the room till I found his glittering white hair.
“Zero…I know you haven’t been taking the tablets and I know what you will become …but you never told me anything!” He was lying on his bed and I sat on top of him.
“I’ve been trying to take them so hard, but I just throw it back up.” He took my face in his hands and then let go roughly.
“Here then, whatever you’d like” I took my hair away from my neck “just don’t splatter or spill too much…” he pinned me against the wall in one slight movement. He didn’t even hesitate that time, he must have been thirsty.
“What do I taste like Sam?” I gasped a little when he unlatched. He licked the blood that was streaming down my neck and put the bandage on it. He was finished and his red eyes changed back to blue. Aaron would never forgive me for letting Sam drink my blood, but he wasn’t the ONLY one I cared about.
“You taste like someone is drinking your blood.” He seemed calmer now and he wasn’t so pale. Color was rushed through his cheeks and I realized Sam, the always serious Sam, was blushing. Then I also realized I was sitting on top of him again.
“Sam, just try not to pick a fight with Aaron again, okay? I care about both of you!” I punched his chest softly.
“It’s not my problem whether you like him or not, it’s so I can protect YOU not those celebrity-like- vampires!” I got off of him and patted his head. “Just sleep well Sam…” I shut the door and almost collapsed. He hadn’t taken as much blood as last time, but I was wobbly. My hair dripped blood, and my neck seemed cramped up because he hadn’t gotten the idea not to spill. I was giving Sam a break today so I had to patrol soon. I had to wash my hair before anybody noticed. I went to the nearest fountain and put in my ends. The blood rushed off quickly, but now my ends had a sort of rust color. I started to patrol and then Aaron stopped me in front of the fountain. Please don’t notice please don’t notice, Aaron. I’m afraid that it will hurt him.
“Why do you seem so pale? What have you just washed out of your hair?” he knew, probably just from the smell. I reeked with blood, but luckily blood didn’t get on my uniform. He grabbed my shoulders and I was in his chest.
“Your expression looks scary, and I mean Sam scary…you don’t have to be afraid of me, it just bothers me that you got bitten by someone else. And if you do want to hide something from me, at least do a better job of cleaning up. He took off my Band-Aid and wiped some blood with his fingertips. He brought it to his lips and sighed. He looked so lonely and sad, like he knew something I didn’t. I didn’t want him to be sad, but what could I do? I lifted my hand to his cheek and hesitantly placed it there.
“You don’t know how good that feels…” he put his hand on top of mine. He was smiling to himself, or was it at me? My heart skipped a beat and before I knew it I was hugging air. Aaron had vanished, leaving me alone to think, in the dark of the night.
Of course there is never a day when I could catch a break! On top of the east side classroom where the midnight students where having class I spotted two girls with cameras, snapping photos. I flashed down the second story and landed with a thud.
“I want your names and dorm number! It is prohibited to be out after curfew!” knowing these girls all my life, well as far as I can remember, there was probably more…
“They’re just pictures, I bet you do it too!” the girl pouted and started to walk the other way. Well, who wouldn’t want to take pictures of them, they’re so beautifukl…I grabbed her by the wrist and brought them into the head-masters room.
“He can deal with you now….” This is how it is practically every day, some stupid girl that wants to get knocked up by a vampire thinks she can out smart me! Ha!At the moment everything suddenly felt all wrong, like I was shoving puzzle pieces into all the wrong places. I felt hopelessness completely immolate me into nothing, and a mirage of blood covered my hand. I gave a whimper, but I looked up at the crescent moon, staring in wonder to why something so pure and white could be red. Stained by the violence and luster of blood...
