The Vampire Next Door

Chapter 15

Read Chapter 7 if you didn't understand the first two paragraphs so you could remember what they are talking about...

********************************************************************

My predictions were right as I felt something extremely sharp, sliding down my skin slowly. Her scent, it's her. I turned around slowly and saw Carmen, with a small blade between her fingers.

I stayed silent as I stared at her with a blank expression. Believe me, I wasn't surprised, not one bit. 2 years ago, she and her brother were my nightmare, but now, I honestly didn't care about them at all, because I know that I could hurt them the same way they can hurt me. I'm much stronger now than I was 2 years ago. We are even. I still waited for her to say something, not even bothering to look at my bleeding arm, it will heal fast. She stood still, with a smirk on her face, eyeing me up and down, "Wow, you got taller". I breathed in heavily, trying to stay calm. Every fiber of my body hated this girl. She's the reason my whole life turned into a living hell. "What do you want?", I hissed. "Is that your way of saying 'hi', Harry?", She smiled. Her Spanish accent is still there. I feel like killing her already. My jaw clenched as I pushed her against a wall angrily, "What the fuck do you want?", I let out a growl. She chuckled and shook her head, "Look at you... all stronger now. I guess turning you to a vampire was a really good decision. But...", she paused for a second, and all of a sudden I felt the same pain of the blade from my back. She has made another cut from my back, and I felt the cold liquid run down my back. Was she killing me? Because if she is, that's not how you kill a vampire. We heal quickly from cuts. "...never, do that again", She frowned. I stared at her for a while, then spoke, "Why are you even here? I thought you were running away from...", I trailed off. She knew exactly what I was talking about. A while after Carmen and Miguel turned me and the lads, they broke a vampire rule, and started running away... "This was almost a year ago, we were being chased for almost a year... but I'm free now", She answered. I wish she weren't. "What did you even do?", I asked. She shrugged, "Miguel and I stole the crown from one of the member of The Masters' wife. They ran after us for a long while, and we settled things down...and yeah", She smirked. I can tell she was lying about something in there, but I shrugged it off. I'll never trust this girl, she continued, "That's not important. What's important is, I came here to tell you, I'm here now, and I'll be watching you. Every step you take, every move you make. You and your 4 other friends. All vampires must know, Miguel and I are back", She frowned like a witch she is. I stayed silent. Great. Just great.

She looked at me, again, eyeing me up and down, "Why are you wearing a human disguise?", She asked. "Why don't you stay out of it?", I snapped.

"Speaking of humans", She started, oh here we go, "I saw you the other day near the church", She smirked. I panicked mentally, and tried to show no expressions, she continued, "I saw you walking with a girl there. Hope you finished her off". She laughed. I gulped slightly. Shit. She's probably the last person that should know about Sarah, she can hurt her real bad if she knew what's happening. Why am I not allowed to kill her already? She's such a bitch. "Uh yeah...erm...she tasted okay", I lied. The thought of killing Sarah sickened me. "All humans taste okay. Their blood is just, heaven", She laughed again. I didn't find this funny at all. In fact, the more she laughed, the angrier I got. Her laugh eventually faded as I held in my temper, "So I told you what I came here to say.. I should get going now", She smirked. "Yeah you should, I don't think you should bother coming back", I growled. Her smirk disappeared and she took a step closer, "Oh believe me, nothing, and I mean nothing, can stop me. And I'll be watching you, and everyone you care about. Mark my words", She whispered the last sentence. I looked over at her direction, she left.

Bitch.

I think that was a big wake up call for me. As long as Carmen and Miguel are watching me, or shall I say spying on me, Sarah should definitely be out of their sight. Even if it meant that I can't see her. It would be temporary... right? I don't want her to get hurt because of me. I don't want her to get hurt at all. She's innocent, she doesn't deserve to be in danger.
