103: Protected
Jarren’s POV
“We’ll take them outside and burn them,” I stated, looking at all the bodies around us. I then looked around the room for Jillie. “Where did Jillie go?” I asked, panicking.
“She and Kaileeh headed that way. I think there’s a door over there.” Garret stated.
“Who screamed earlier?” I asked. I’d been so occupied that I hadn’t stopped to see who it was. I just knew it wasn’t Jillie.
My eyes scanned the room until they landed on Mallory on the floor in a pool of blood. I then saw Mina on the floor as well. I shook my head. She was the only vampire I knew that could be easily

Bitten 104: Bitten By Love
Jillie’s POV I took a deep breath. My hands were both shaking. I’d been avoiding this for two weeks now. It was too painful. I knelt in front of the headstone. Running my fingers over the engraved words, tears slowly ran down my cheeks. “Hey, Mal,” I stated through my tears. “I’m sorry I didn’t come sooner. I just couldn’t live with the guilt of knowing this happened because of me.” I stated quietly. “But the guilt I felt for leaving your funeral early and trying to stay away outweighed that.” I took another deep breath. “This sucks, Mal. This really is unfair. We were supposed to make up, and everything was supposed to get better between us. It wasn’t supposed to happen like this. Me sitting here crying my eyes out and talking to your headstone.” I paused for a minute. “We were supposed to do so much together. Go to college, get married, and have kids. Oh, speaking of kids, Alyx is pregnant. I know she wasn’t your favorite person, but I also know how much you like kids.”
Bitten 1: Break Begins
Jillie POV "Jillie." I closed my locker and turned around to the sound of my name. "Hey, Aaden. Hey Jarren. Where's Mallory?" "She's late as usual," Aaden replied. We began walking down the hall toward my first-period class. I had it with Aaden. We said bye to Jarren at the door, then headed to our seats in the back. "Hey, Aaden." Some redhead said, batting her eyelashes. "Hey," he replied, giving her a nod. She blushed. Her cheeks turning the same color as her hair, and she went to her seat. "So you ready for Christmas break?" "Two weeks out of school, of course, I am." "It's technically three," Aaden informed me. He was right. After our two weeks of Christmas break, the seniors got to take their one-week trip. Our school tradition was that every class got a weeklong trip. The seniors went in the winter, juniors in the fall, sophomores in the spring, and freshmen at the beginning of May. That was one of the perks of attending an exclusive school that cost an arm and a leg.
Bitten 2: A Sleepover
Jarren POV I sat in gym, my last period, ready for the bell to ring. I'd just stepped out of the shower. I had my pants and shoes on and was about to pull on my shirt when the bell rang. I walked out of the boy's locker room, pulling my shirt over my head. "OMG. Look at his body." I heard a girl whisper to her friend across the gym. Thanks to my supernatural hearing. I stopped by my locker, grabbed my coat, and headed out the door. I saw a group of girls talking to Aaden. I walked over to Jillie and Mallory, standing beside my car. "Hey." "Hey," they replied in unison. "What's going on over there?" "His groupies are saying bye to him," Mallory informed me. I faintly heard jealousy in her voice. "Yours should be here in a second," Jillie told me, smiling, causing my breath to catch in my chest. "Guess that means it's time for me to go," I told them. "We're all going to Jillie's house to talk to her parents about the Christmas party," Mallory informed me. "I'll meet you there,
Bitten 3: Vivid Dream
Jillie's POV I followed Jarren silently as he led the way through the trees. I'd repeatedly asked him where we were going, but all he said was, "You'll see." So I just stopped asking. I watched as the trees became farther apart, but they were also bigger, so the sun barely shone through. I could hear birds chirping, but I couldn't see them. I was getting tired of walking, and my feet were starting to hurt. I ran and jumped on Jarren's back. He hooked his arms under my knees while I held around his neck. I placed my chin on his shoulder and closed my eyes."Open your eyes, Jillie." I heard a few minutes later. I opened my eyes and looked around at the clearing. It was beautiful, filled with flowers and butterflies. I slid off his back and walked in front of him. I couldn't believe it."How did you find this place?""By accident."I smiled at him. "Well, I'm glad you did. I love-""Butterflies," he said, cutting me off. "I know." I sat down in the middle
Bitten 4: Greenhouse Mirage
Jarren’s POV“Well, how do you propose I do that?”“Jillie. Come here for a second, princess.” Ean called, cutting off what I was about to say.“I’ll be back,” she threw over her shoulder before leaving the room.I closed my eyes and exhaled. Why did she have to ask me that question? She could always dance again. That would entertain me. I felt myself becoming excited at just the thought of it. I had to push that image out of my mind. I heard her coming back up the stairs. She stopped at the edge of the bed.“Are you sleeping?”“No.”“Are you tired?”“Not really.”That was a complete and utter lie. I couldn’t sleep last night because I saw her every time I closed my eyes. It wasn’t a bad thing. It was just the things that we were doing that had me awake. I knew if I closed my eyes, I’d see those wonderful things but wake up to realize they weren’t happening. She didn’t want me that way, which was the part I didn’t want to deal with. I had to face it every day without my dreams, making
Bitten 5: Friend Time
Jillie's POVI woke up, and it was a few minutes till two. I looked around the room for Jarren, and my eyes landed on the flowers on my nightstand. I instantly knew he was gone. I picked up the flowers and smelled them. I loved Crocus flowers. Too bad they only bloomed in late fall and winter. I got out of bed, stretched, and made my way downstairs. No one was here.I made my way into the kitchen and grabbed a vase. I filled it with water. I took the vase back upstairs, put the flowers in it, and headed back to the kitchen. Pulling an individual serving cup of Mac-N-Cheese out of the pantry, I ripped the top off and filled it with water. I put it in the microwave for ninety seconds. While it was warming up, I grabbed a bottle of peach tea out of the refrigerator.I grabbed a spoon and took my food out when the microwave went off. I walked into the living room and turned the TV on. Man of Steel was showing on TNT. I ate my food while watching Henry Cavill and his gorgeousness. I placed
Bitten 6: A Decision to Make
Jarren’s POV“I have to call you back. I think my house is under attack,” she said, cutting off what I was trying to say.“Sure,” I responded. Before I could say anything else, she ended the call.I’d just left my parent’s house and was driving to my house, which sat in front of my parent’s about three miles away. Their house was pushed back and hidden by the forest.When I got to my house, I walked into the kitchen and took a bag of blood from the refrigerator. Packaged blood wasn’t as good as fresh blood, but I was too tired from all my training to go hunting. I put the bag in the microwave and warmed it up. While it was running, I pulled a cup from the cabinet. When the blood was ready, I tore it open and poured it into the cup. I threw the bag away on my way to my room.I sat at my desk, drinking my dinner as I studied the Parliamentary procedures of vampires and refreshing myself on the cast systems that we have. I’d learned all of this before…over two hundred years ago, but I ne
Bitten 7: Party Setup
Jillie's POV"Jillie, where do you want this table?" Mason asked me."Just put it over in front of the fireplace."I went back to hanging up the Christmas lights. Please don't ask me why. Mallory thought it would be cute, and I didn't want to see her pouting about it if I didn't. We only had about two hours before the party was supposed to start. Mason and Alyx volunteered to come over and help us set up. Alyx was now in the kitchen mixing up bowls of punch with Jarren. Aaden was helping his cousin bring in the gear he would need to DJ, and Mallory was outside setting up signs for people to follow to the side door that led into the charity room."Where do you want us to set him up?" Aaden asked."In the corner opposite the door," I answered them."How do the tables look, Jillie?" Mason asked.I looked on my shoulder, making sure to hold onto the ladder. "They look fine. Can you get that cotton snow stuff and bring it in here, please.""Sure, doll," he responded before leaving the room
