He introduced himself while Iam staring blankly at him. He's in a v-neck shirt and dark jeans with some bloodstains on his shirt and face. He looked so hot. I feel like seeing a handsome boy from a movie. He whipped it off and stared back.
" Did you killed that girl, Jacen?" I asked and felt his name on my lips.
" No. She's unconscious. She's probably be dead soon. I crossed the line of Slateville. So I feed on her. Humans aren't supposed to see this place." he replied and snapped his hand. Suddenly another person emerged from nowhere taking the girl's body and vanished. I wondered who's that person with a wide-opened mouth.
" Don't be shocked. He's my bodyguard." I didn't expect a vampire having some bodyguards. I fixed my eyes on Jacen again ready to ask another question. I got infinite questions to ask as I never left my house. I got to know more about the surroundings and humans on Earth.
" The girl seems so innocent. That's not fair. Why can't you feed on animals or use blood bags." I suggested to that handsome stranger.
" She's not innocent. She dumped her boyfriend easily and acted meanly to him on the phone call. That made me freaking hungry and angry." he simply answered walking straightly to a bench in the side of the road. I followed his path. " Why do you care about that? Who knows what he did to her?" I raised another question and Jacen's face immediately became angry.
" Cause my girlfriend dumped me without a reason. don't make me mad or I will feed on you." he snapped and without hesitation, in temper, I raised my hand. A bright blue light flashed right on him knocking him down on the ground. I didn't mean to do that. But Iam a short-tempered person.
" I was just talking why did you attack without warning. You are a witch. Now I really want to feed on you. I heard Witch's blood will be tasty." he licked his lips and stood up.
" I will attack you again if you talked one more word about feeding." I made myself clear.
" Fine. Calm down and sit down, witch." he seated on the bench rubbing the dirt from his jeans.
" I won't. You are a stranger." I kept both of my hands on either side of the hips. But I really want to talk with him. I still can't take my eyes off him. 'Maybe it's because he's the first boy I ever talked in real' I consulted myself.
" You really don't want to know about this stranger. We already introduced ourselves. You are Sydney, right? Where are from?" he said giving me space to next to him. I didn't resist but sat down.
" Iam living in this street only."
"What? You got to be kidding me? I thought you are from Ravenwood." he laughed by my answer. I didn't make any jokes and What's a Ravenwood?
" What's a Ravenwood?" I blurted. Asking many silly questions makes me ignorant about this world in front of a boy.
" Who are you, girl? Ravenwood is a city next to Slateville. I never ever saw you on this street in my life." he laughed. His laughter is so beautiful with his dimple which makes him even more attractive but he's laughing at me which is not at all cool.
" Don't make fun of me. Explain it or leave me." I was about to stand up but he grabbed my hand gently and stopped me. I never got any skin contact until now. His touch made me nervous. I will start shivering if he kept his hands on mine for too long.
" Don't go. I want to know about you. I will tell anything you want to know." he firmly said and I took my seat again. Iam not sure of telling my story to him but he seems interested in knowing about it and Iam still holding my book which my aunt gave. He didn't notice it.
" I lost my parents in my three years. My aunt has been raising me with good care until now. But she never allowed me to go out. She never gave an explanation. All she said is I need to stay at home that's what my parents wanted. It's for my safety but I desperately need to go out. I never had a friend before. finally today I came out without telling." I finished talking while staring at the limitless. Like I heard, Slateville is the same as Earth except for us who are not humans. The mid-night sky and moon is so beautiful. Soon I lost in my thoughts, forgot about Jacen near me hearing my story.
" I can't imagine you lived your life like this," he said with sympathy.
" don't pity me. Iam out now. It won't last long but Iam fine with this." I faked my smile to avoid any pity from Jacen.
" Who said it won't last long. I will help you. Tell me who's your aunt. There's no reason for being locked in a home for safety. Slateville is safe for everyone. You soon need to join an academy to learn more about witch magics. You deserve to enjoy this life." he cheered me up. Now, I seem happy by sharing this with him. He's so kind. I wish to see him again. I don't want this night to end.
" My aunt is a powerful witch. Her name is Lydia." I turned and faced him. he thought for a moment and answered " I know Lydia. She's one of the powerful witches in Slateville. She traveled around everywhere doing many rituals, difficult spells all by herself. But I never heard she has a niece in her house." That's me. The girl who never existed. I want to be like my aunt but I got no one to teach me any spells but nobody knows me.
" Hey don't be sad, baby." he kept his hands on my cheeks. I really started shaking from his touch. My legs and hands started trembling. Why did he call me baby? He only met me today.
" I said don't pity me but what are you doing?" I asked motioning towards his hands which is still on my cheeks.
" Iam not pitying you and don't be afraid. Your heart is beating fast right now," he said and I realized it. A vampire can easily hear it. Within seconds, he's closer to me.
I don't know what to do. I can feel his breath next to me. I need to do something." So you mentioned something about an academy. What's that?" I asked stopping whatever he's trying to do." When a girl or boy turns 16. they will receive a letter to join an academy to increase their skills and they will provide more training to the students. We will stay in the academy for a year, only allowed to visit our home twice. But we can contact our family members through the phone which is allowed. It's a three years study and there are many academy's available in slateville." I eagerly listened and I desperately want to study there. It will be awesome to get new friends and I will work hard to be a powerful witch like my aunt." Wow. I never know there's an academy to learn." I excitedly spoke but realized my aunt won't allow it. I really want to convince her to join me there. She never mentioned about the academy." Yeah. I already turned 16. My parents will be
The next day went so fast. I learned a lot from the book and my aunt doesn't know that I went out yesterday. It's a great escape. But I won't do that mistake again. I can't face the consequences of getting caught. I also thought of asking her about the Sapphire academy. Well, I know the answer before even asking.' you can't go to Sapphire Academy, Sydney. I should keep you safe and how did you know about the academy?'Then can I tell her about meeting a vampire boy? 'I met a vampire boy who said about this academy and we even kissed'. Hell no, I can't tell that. It's like getting my head into a volcano. She will be sweet as sugar but hard as ice when I rebelled her rules.I walked to my room with some chips packets to eat and spend the rest of the evening. I turned on the laptop and Typed'The sapphire Academy'in 'Slatycity'. Like Google, Slatycity is used in Slateville. I knew things like this so I could download m
" I will think of away," she whispered to herself. Bringing up my courage I spoke to her." I don't want to go somewhere unknown. I know how to cook and I will take care of myself. I won't go back." She looked up at me convincingly but all she replied is " It's settled, Sydney. I need to ask any of my friends to take care of you and also Iam thinking of giving you the training to learn all witch skills. It's your time to study."For a minute I felt like hearing one bad news and another good one. Staying in some unknown person's house is not a good idea even though they are Lydia's friends. I will feel uncomfortable living with some other witch house. Anyways she said this is the time for my studies. Is that mean I will be joining in any academy? Wow. If it's true Iam so happy right now. I want to join in the sapphire Academy." Where will I be studying?""I didn't think of that. You will be learning under the guidance of a witch at the home. Y
" Go hide somewhere." I panicked and urged him." Where? I don't wanna hide. Can I talk to your aunt Lydia and advise..." I stopped him by closing his mouth with my hand." Stop talking. Please hide in the closet." I pleaded but he licked my hands." Eww.." I removed my hand and he smiled." Hey, Sydney.open the door," Lydia commanded. I grabbed Jacen's arms and opened the closet." Stay here. Don't come out." I whispered and he finally obeyed me." Iam coming," I shouted back turning up by laptop, streamed a movie. I don't even saw the movie name." Why didn't you sleep? Is everything okay?" She asked when I opened the door after 5 minutes of knocking." Iam totally fine. Just seeing a movie and reacting to it. It's so interesting and Iam not feeling sleepy." I replied calmly." Okay. But don't watch too many movies," she advised and walked down the stairs." PUff. You can come out." I said which is b
" She's gonna stay with us for 6 months, Noah. So he's our new guest." Nina popped up from the kitchen. So he is Noah. Nina's son." Don't tell me she's here to learn from Pamela." Noah sympathetically looked at me. Who is Pamela?" Yes, sadly," Nina replied." Oh my. This girl doesn't deserve to learn from Pamela." I think she is the witch who is assigned to teach me. I wish not to meet her. Everyone's talking about her like she's the worst person in Slateville." My sister isn't that horrible. She's harsh and boring that's it" Nina says to assure me." Welcome home. Iam Noah. I will show you your room." he ran his hand on his brown hair, kept his laptop, and motioned me to follow him." Iam Sydney." I introduced myself. We entered a clean room in a blue paint wall.'my favorite'.The room has a single bed and empty shelves and a cupboard. I can fill all my things in this room." I like this room." I ad
" You are his... it means... I...I will be staying at your house." I stammered a lot in surprise. I never even dreamed a bit of staying in Jacen's house. I can't figure out why Iam feeling so excited." Yes. I don't know you are staying here till now. Anyways, It's a good thing. I don't need to see you by sneaking around your house." I ignored his smile by jumping to another question." Iam here to learn from Pamela, your mother's sister I think. Why Nina's a vampire while she is a witch?"" There never been many hybrids in Slateville. It's a rare one. Due to different species of my grandparents, my mom is a vampire and Pamela's a witch. A person can only be one species at a time. Noah and I are pureblood cause we are born to two vampires. We have all the strengths of a vampire since birth." he explained.He's a born Immortal. So interesting. I sometimes thought of being immortal.we both walked out of the room to s
I absolutely have no idea what spell she used but she whispered some words under her breath and I felt something's wrong. I felt bad about this situation. Before I can realize what's happening, Jacen and Noah knocked out backward by some invisible power. They hit hard on their back. I can't even see whether they are in a conscious state or not cause the evening climate totally changed faster to night by each second.I looked up at the sky to see the fast-moving clouds. I feel like Iam seeing the whole evening to the night sky in just a minute. It's like seeing a fast forward movie." What the hell are you doing? Jacen and Noah may have got hurt. Is it training or what?" I let out the words without realizing how this witch bitch reacts to it." You are going to see soon," she smirked walking backward while keeping her eyes on me."You raised my temper. Let's see if you won or die. Take that dagger and do what you can." soon she disappeared from
" If you are gonna kick me out just for some orphan girl, you are going to regret it." She warned and glared at me." Iam going to talk with Nina," she growled and left." Don't mind her. You are not gonna see her face ever again." Noah consulted me and looked up at his brother. They both looked like they are communicating something in their mind. I can't guess it Iam in a state as I could faint at any moment." Sydney, You need to drink my blood. You will heal soon." Jacen finally broke the silence. But why do I have to drink his blood? Is it safe for a witch? I looked at him with a doubtful look." Don't worry it will heal you soon. There are no consequences." He bit his wrist and kept it near my mouth. I don't have the resistance to his blood now or I can't heal. I drank his blood without thinking and grabbed me tightly by not letting me fall on the ground. But soon my strength started to return. My injury will take some time to heal
