GINGER'S VIEW

I woke up on a bed, in a well-kept house. I immediately glanced at my cellphone, which was crammed-along with my keys-far into my pocket. It was 10:00pm and rain pounded outside. Man, was I out for that long? Just my luck. The house smelled too innocent, like the scent was covering something more. I sat up and winced abit. There were bandages around my torso. That was when I remembered. I decided to join James ONLY track down the thief, crap, but gotten more than I bargained for when I got shot......Wait, I shouldn't be awake! James. I was at his place...or maybe someone found me somewhere....he wouldn't save me right?

I was glad it was way past the time anyone should be at school plus the school cameras couldn't capture action that fast, it would all be a blur. I rubbed my head and stood up...pacing on the lush carpet and trying to clear my thoughts. Around me, everything seemed too casual. A flat-screened T.V, black leather couches, a dinning set and so on. No family pictures. The walls were a dull grey. Things were a tad bit too bland here...

Just then, the front door opened and James walked in and he seemed happy I was alive...I think. He was wearing a black t-shirt, shorts and sneakers. But something was terribly odd about him....I scowled because could smell it.

"You're aw-" He started to say but I cut him off.

"You've killed someone!" I shouted at him and marched towards him angrily.

"Listen, I couldn't help it. I needed to feed. Plus you contributed to it."

"I contributed to it? Are you insane? Why the hell couldn't you just leave me there?!" I yelled. "Infact, don't answer that. You're done!" 

"What do mean? You wanted to die?! I only helped you okay? Its not my fault I kill people!"

"Its not your fault? You're pathetic! You and your kind! How dare you say that! The same people you kill are the ones responsible for your survival! Its called self-control. Don't even try giving me the shitty excuse about how you can't do anything because you can! You just hide behind your blood lust like a coward and disregard lives. I will kill you James, you won't ruin lives anymore!" I exclaimed and threw a nearby desk at him.He didn't move, he just stared furiously at me.

"You're so ignorant Ginger. You don't know who the hell I am or anything about me. If this kind of life was given to you by force, how would you live with yourself?! You say it like I haven't tried before! You think I like killing humans?! I was once like them, not too long ago...very vulnerable. We may have gotten off on the wrong foot but that's not a damn good reason for you to think I'm a blood-thirsty monster!" He snarled at me.

I was abit taken back but I got my priorities straight, despite how sorry I might have felt for him. I grabbed a chair from his dinning set and broke it on his head. He stumbled and his expression was of utter shock..some blood dripped from his hair but he would heal anyway! 

"You asshole! You think you can just make me forget someone else is dead?!" I growled at him. "Its my job to keep you in check!" He still didn't make a move to attack me, he just had the focused look while I was boiling inside.

"Fight me, damn it!" I shouted but he only shook his head and folded his arms. My cellphone beeped in my pocket. I pulled it out briefly. I had a text from Rex and Luke. They found the body. James watched me curiously with a slight tilt of his eyebrows.

I ran over to him and punched him but he still didn't hit me back! What the hell was wrong with him!? I grabbed him by his shirt and forced him to look at me. I shook him and soon got tired.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him calmly. His face softened but he didn't give away any answers.

"Screw you!" I shouted and pushed him away. I turned and headed for his door.

"Its raining too hard." He finally said. I ignored him and kept walking. The rain was heavy but I've been through worse. I stepped into the rain, it immediately drenched me. Plastering my hair and clothes to my face and body. I was glad my cell phone was water-proof. I turned it off after the text and kept walking. Nothing was on the streets while the rain continued to pound on. The trees shook vigorously and seemed like they would snap in two due to the heavy rain.

I thought of how this evening turned out, I honestly couldn't kill him. Over the weeks, I had sort-of-kinda developed this ridiculous crush on him. I was disappointed in my self. How could I crush on a leech!?! Of all creatures...a freaking vampire!?! I didn't even realize how slow I was walking till I looked back. I was only a few feet from the corner to his house. Lucky him, he lived alone.

"I know you're behind me. Wanna laugh at me for bluffing?" I asked and turned around. He was leaning against a tree. Lightning decorated the skies and with it came heavier rain. James walked towards me quietly and I didn't wait for whatever he had to say, I kept on walking.

"No. Listen, Ginger...I....I'm sorry." He said and I stopped. He's sorry? Can he give those people their lives back? Can 'sorry' fix anything?!

"Whatever." I replied. I was too tired to argue, plus my torso still hurt a bit. I still wanted to make sure of one thing. "Why'd you help me today? You've always hated me and wanted me dead....and I could have died. So why would you do it?" I asked and turned to face him.

He shifted uncomfotably and tried to maintain focus. The rain didn't pity him either..he was just as drenched as I was.

"Because...I don't hate you." He sighed.

"Why? Because I thought you did a great job at the-" I was saying when I got cut off by cold but soft lips. I froze. James was kissing me. His lips moved against mine steadily while his hands circled my waist and pulled me closer to him. He pulled away after a minute or two. Water was dripping down his face but his eyes kept drilling into mine....

I stared back at him.....the rain cotinued to pour and fill the void.

After about twenty-eight seconds of silence, I turned and ran home-integrating my speed as a wolf along the way- and I didn't stop till I rammed my keys into my lock and stepped into my house. This evening spun way out of my control........
