I’m glad everything is more settled between us. Tiffany avoids us now. Every time I see her, she runs in the opposite direction. People still treat her like crap. It would be almost sad if it wasn’t for the fact that she tried to get between my beauty queen and me. Unfortunately for her, that’s not something I can take lightly.
Right now, I’m waiting for my beauty queen to finish practicing for her pageant. Her mother gives me a sideways look every time she sees me, but she doesn’t make any comments. That doesn’t mean that I won’t tread carefully around her.
I worry about Amara now more than ever. She’s not sleeping well because she’s worried about her visions. On the one hand, she’s scared of getting a vision, and on the other, she worries that someone might be dying because she’s not having any. Fortunately, Mathias contacted us and told us of a woman who can help Amara control her visions.
Amara“Hey Bree, can I stay at your place this weekend?” I look up towards the dark sky as my friend Zoe pleads with me through the other end of the phone. The campus is really quiet at this time of night. I just got out of class, and I know that my sister Lana is waiting for me to give her a ride home from work. I try to balance my bag and cell-phone as I walk towards my car. “Sure, girl. Is something going on at home?” She clucks her tongue. “Just the usual. Mom’s pretending that everything is alright, while John’s wife makes every effort to make our lives hell. I wish I’d never moved back here. I freaking hate it!” Her voice rises with derision. I can’t help but feel pity for her. Zoe’s life hasn’t been easy. Her mother is the maid of this really rich tycoon whom she had an affair with before Zoe was born. The sad part is that everyone knows that John’s her dad, but they pret
KellI’m late for school today. Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay and kiss my girl properly because Rowan called me to run an errand for him early this morning. He sounded pretty desperate when he asked me to take him a few bags of blood. Apparently, Mikhail and Nevaeh were not available, and he needed it pretty bad.Rowan answers the door as soon as I show up at the apartment. He used to live with Mikhail and Nevaeh at the beginning of their freshman year. But things became a little awkward when he had to deal with Nevaeh and Mikhail’s “nighttime activities,” so he moved to the apartment across the hall.Fortunately, Mathias owns the building, so he lets Rowan stay in the studio for free. It’s a pretty nice apartment. It’s small with an open concept kitchen slash dining room, living room, and bedroom. The bathroom with its large glass shower, single sink, and toilet is the only separate area. The layout is simple; when you
AmaraIt didn’t take long for me to pack a bag. Thankfully my parents are out of town again. This time it’s my mom who has some charity ball at Martha’s Vineyard. My mom likes to pretend that she cares about something other than herself every once in a while. But don’t be fooled by her charitable endeavors; she mostly does it to impress her friends. God forbid if she is doing it for a good cause.We make it to Mikhail and Nevaeh’s in record time. Nevaeh and I hug happily, having put our previous unpleasant encounter behind us. It gladdens me that we were able to make a lasting friendship. We go out to eat and hang out like a regular couple.Every once in a while, I look at Kell and give him a heated smile. I blush when I think about our earlier sexual encounter. I can’t believe that I was so bold with Kell. It was the most incredible experience of my life.Right now, we’re both in Rowan’s old room, getting r
KellAzazel, Creighton, and I gaze at each other helplessly as Amara lays in my arms unconscious.Azazel looks at Creighton. “What the hell just happened. Creighton?” Creighton simply shrugs his shoulders. “I don’t know, mate. This is the first time this has ever happened.”Feeling terror choke me, I shake Amara’s shoulder. “Amara…wake up, babe. Please wake up.” I say desperately.Azazel touches her face then looks at Creighton. “Bloody hell, Creighton, there has to be something you can do.”Creighton swallows deeply and moves to the table, rifling through a few papers with desperation. “Let’s see, let’s see. There has to be something here that can help.” He shuffles a few more papers and looks through them.Amara’s body shudders again, making me look back up at Azazel with desperation. “Fuck, Azazel, help her.”
AmaraThe campus is quiet and solemn by the time Kell and I get there. While we wait, we take a seat at a nearby bench and wait for Azazel, who’s running late. I guess we can’t complain, considering we made him wait earlier. We don’t mind the wait, though. We simply sit comfortably in each other’s arms and kiss. His lips feel so soft and pliant against mine. Wrapping my arms around him, I nip at his bottom lip, then soothe it with my tongue as Kell groans and pulls me closer to deepen the kiss.It’s so still and quiet at this time, and it feels like we’re in our own world. There are no students lounging on the grass, studying, or playing football at this time of night. It's eight o’clock, and there are very few students rushing to get to their classes. It’s just like the vision I had. The breeze is blowing gently through the trees, and the leaves sway lazily, making the bushes shuffle. The moon is out, and the sky is cove
KellThinking that this is the craziest night of my life doesn’t even remotely cover how I feel. As Amara and I follow Azazel and Fallon, I can’t help but think about how much my life has changed. I’m doing great in school; I have a mate and a great family. Life is great.As we glide through the air, I take joy in having Amara in my arms. However, I can’t help but worry for her and where her visions are leading her.Thankfully, we finally land on a rooftop high up in the hills. The house is hidden deep in the California forest. There are no other houses around it, and I imagine that the nearest house is miles away. It’s a pretty modern-looking white mansion-lined by trees. The top of the house is flat, spherical concrete. It kind of reminds me of a spaceship. When I look down, I can see a giant waterfall pool set by the side of a hill, glowing like a luminescent beacon in the darkness. The walls are mostly made up of glass. It looks
AmaraThe day of the pageant dance is here, and I’ve been so busy that I’ve barely seen Kell. Nevertheless, Kell doesn’t let it get in the way of sneaking a few kisses here and there and giving me smoldering hot looks. I have to fan myself at the thought of expelling a little energy with my sexy, angelic boyfriend soon. Regrettably, I have to settle with light petting. The upside of being busy is that I haven’t been able to fret about the visions.Right now, Haley, Juliet, and a few other students are working on the finishing touches of the dance hall. Come to think about it, most of the school is here. Pageant day is like a holiday around Arcata. Everyone gets the day off to prepare, and a few of the school clubs contribute their skills.Mr. Avila chose several of the best photography students to take pictures. Unfortunately, I couldn’t be one of the photographers for the obvious reason that I’m part of the pageant. The newsp
KellI look in the mirror and adjust my black bow tie.I’m ready for the dance. My black tuxedo, white dress shirt, and black slacks are pressed and falling perfectly across my body. Surprisingly enough, Rowan came to visit earlier and is lying on top of my bed, staring at me with a knowing smirk.“What?” I ask, annoyed.Snorting, he picks up my football from the side table and throws it up and down. “Nothing. I just never thought I’d see the day where my little brother dresses up in a penguin suit for some girl.”I scowl at him from the reflection in the mirror and quirk a brow. Rowan can sometimes be such an ass about girls. I can’t wait for the day when he falls hard and is trapped by the bonds of love. He won’t be laughing or making asinine comments then.“Amara is not, some girl,” I say, making air quotes
