After sitting in the tub crying for two hours , I play with the rubber ducklings as if I was 5 years old .
I can't say for sure that I've come to peace with it .
I've only acknowledged it for now . I'll never get Aeron back .
A part of me is angry at Jace . A part is pissed at myself for keeping false hope .
I just feel sad and empty .
" It's alright . Bad things happen . That's what life is . Get over it . " I mutter to myself.
" Quack . " I make a sound as I ensue a fight between the 2 ducklings .
" Alexis ? " It was Kayla .
" Hmm ? " I called out blankly .
" You've been there for 3 hours . What's going on ? " Her voice is soft and laced with concern .
" Nothing much . " I reply as I get the ducklings to stop fighting .
" Chu ~ " That's right little ducklings . Make up with each other .
" Then why don't you come out ? Your phone has been ringing non stop . " Kayla reasons .
" Just hand it to me inside .
I feel the sun shining on my face . It isn't warm . It isn't comforting .It's tearing my skin apart .I scream as I get out of bed and rush to the corner of the room , surprisingly reaching there sooner than I had expected as if my own weight wasn't hindering my speed anymore .I look at the blinds . They were closed but there was some light poking through in between the blinds and that's what burned me . I gulp , wondering what would have happened if it was completely open . How would I have ended up ? Meat barbecue ? Maybe Michael would bring in a soda can and actually enjoy the opportunity .I stay in the corner , heaving a great sigh . I was grateful I got out of this one though I'm sure the blinds were pulled up last night before I went to sleep . I think Jace must have pulled it up after I fell asleep .So what am I supposed to do now . I look at my phone , it's lying on the centre of my bed . I don't see Jace around either so I
"Are you crazy ? No way !" I made it a point to. refuse strongly. Well actually he might have just been joking but I couldn't take any chances with that ."Oh come on . It'll be fun . Have your pick , girl or guy ?" He asks with a serious look and Alec rolls his eyes . I know that he's joking now , he can't possibly be serious about kidnapping an actual human being . Perhaps back in the day where no one cared about what happened to other people and the only way for news to spread was from mouth to mouth . It isn't possible to survive in this century unless you're incredibly careful .Hypothetically speaking , if I kidnapped someone . There would be an APB put out for him and it would be all over the news . If I couldn't wipe his mind properly because of no prior training and he goes on to blab , things would end badly .It would be even worse if I couldn't control myself and end up killing him . I could leave him in a ditch so
After changing and cleaning up a bit . We decided to join Alec and Michael at the club lounge . There was a huge bar and disco lights . Since it was day time , the music wasn't loud and instead of the swirling disco lights there was only a normal white one . Instead it was used for simply playing during the day .There was a pool table , darts . Hell there was even a play station with a huge screen . It seemed like an all rounder lounge . If one went deeper inside through the door , there's a small cafe inside it , away from the stinging smell of alcoholics .Perhaps encouraging the customers to take a break and sober up for a while ." I wonder if I can still get drunk . " I look over at the hundreds of bottles being displayed in curiosity .The last time I had drank wasn't one of my best moments . I embarassed myself thoroughly but that doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it . It really calmed my brain down from the constant shit I was getting bombarded with.
I shakily open the box .I wipe off the blood on my hands with a towel and take the object out ." What am I supposed to do with a simple dagger ? " I mutter as I turn it around in my hand . It was sleek and sharp ; it looked as if it could cut through even bone . The handle was made out of wood though whereas the dagger itself was silver .That's the only thing that was present in it . It was empty . I search around and tap on it here and there , wondering if there's a loose side that unhinges . I top the bottom and try to pry it open .It turns out it could slide to the inside .Interesting .There wasn't much space after sliding , perhaps only a few millimetres at most . There was nothing but a piece of paper stuck inside of it . It was blank ." Maybe she forgot to write me something ? " I wonder as I turn the paper on the other side and notice it's emptiness .Suddenly an idea strikes me and I turn on the lamp present at t
After 2 days of having a really hard time controlling my urges and basically sticking to Jace's neck like a vampire bat the whole time . I almost consider taking Mark up on his offer for training .That's before ..." It's time for training " Jace says calmly as he shuts the door to our bedroom and locks it .I gulp ." You didn't tell me what the punishment was . " I ask softly . I trust him completely but I was still feeling a little nervous ."Oh you'll see " He grins .I swallow .He shows me his hand and I look at it . It's empty, what is he trying to prove ? Slowly his claws come out . He brings his claw to his neck and slides it in with a grunt , pulling it down just an inch and letting the gap ooze out blood .The pounding in my head almost takes me over and I get the urge to clamp down on his neck . He shakes his finger as a warning ."If you give in , you'll regret it
I open my eyes slowly feeling a throbbing pain pulsating from my neck and radiating throughout my body . A wave of emotions wash over me , hitting me like a brick and trying to drown me in them . Satisfaction , love , admiration .I turn to my side and notice that Jace was already awake and was staring at me . It was his emotions .I want to be mad but his emotions weren't letting me . I wonder if there was a way I could block them out ." I'm sorry about that . " He admits but he doesn't look the slightest bit of guilty , he has the widest smile on his face so much that the corner of his eyes are crinkling ." Do you know what you've done ? " I ask dryly in disbelief . I put my hand against my neck and flinch at the pain , I withdraw it and see some residual blood on my hand . It hasn't healed yet . I shift on my weight and flinch once more . Everything from below my waist till my knees is sore." You won't lose your identity . I made sure of that
" Didn't you say you opened the box with your blood ? " Jace questioned , brooding his forehead as he searches his memories .I nod .Then it hits me ." I'm an idiot . "If the box was opened with my blood then why wouldn't the paper unravel it's truth in the same way ? I wonder if I would have thought about it if Jace hadn't brought it up . I honestly feel like I am getting more careless as every single day passes .I grab the paper from Alec along with the knife placed on the coffee table .For some reason I feel myself sweating and get the urge to take my shirt off so I could cool down my warm body . It's really strange because I've been cold since I've turned and suddenly I feel warm ." Don't . You're not feeling well . " Jace complains as if he read my thoughts and I only roll my eyes in response . It was just a simple cut , I don't see how that would make a difference , besides at least it would heal fast .I pres
" Seriously , you want me to be in bed all day ? I'll die from boredom . " I complain .He throws the TV remote at me and I catch it easily ." I'll go get some medicine . You , stay put . " He threatens with a side eye before leaving .Stay put ? He words it like I'm a dog . Well , I don't entirely mind . Dogs are really cute and I would want one if I had a stable home where I was sure he'd be safe . Keeping animals in a vampire lair isn't exactly the best idea , not because they would drink or kill them . Just because dogs are the warmest animals and they don't deserve to be around cold people .I've heard that after transitioning into a vampire , you start losing your feelings until eventually you don't care about anything anymore . I'm sure that's a partial lie . You definitely feel , just not to the intensity that you felt before . You don't care as much about what's right or wrong , you don't bother with a human's pain , nor do you dare to sympathis
