All My Life

All My Life ch. 2

~~~~~~ Avery ~~~~~~

I crept up behind them slowly. Zayn was screaming in my head "AVERY! NO!!!" I ignored him. My eyes were set on the hikers, I was about to pounce when Zayn grabbed me. I writhed in his arms but he held me tightly. The hikers seemed to not notice us at all. "Avery no, this is not who you are. You are not a monster. Stop this. Let them be. Stop." He said to me, I began to calm down. "You are not a monster. You have to control yourself, you can do it. It will take time, we will practice." He said, kissing my cheeks. I felt like crying. "Vampires can't cry" Zayn said. That made me want to cry more. "It's alright" he kept whispering into my ear, quiet and sweet.

"What about my family?"

"We will practice being around humans until you don't even notice, then you can see your family safely."

I shuddered. "I'll be here for you, I know it's hard, trust me love, I know. I love you. I always will no matter what. Remember that." His words made me feel better but I still missed my family. "What about my college?"

"We told them you were very sick and won't return for a while." I nodded. As long as I had Zayn, I knew things would be ok.

~~~~~~ Zayn ~~~~~~

"Come on babe, lets get you something to eat then go back to the house."

"Alright" she said simply. I grabbed her hand.

"How come I don't see anything?" I asked her.

"Because, it only does it when I concentrate."

"That's so..." I had to think of a good word, "unique"

"Unique?"

"Yeah, I've never heard of a vampire that could do that, and I'm 211!" She smiled at this.

"Well, I feel special"

"You are" I said. She stopped walking and looked at me. Her greens eyes rimmed with red, some might find it scary, I found her eyes beautiful. She looked towards the ground, her eyes flashed up at me. I put my had under her chin and lifted her head to meet my lips. She smiled as I kissed her. She wrapped her arms around my neck and put her fingers down the back of my shirt. Her fingers felt like electricity against my skin. I slid my hands up her shirt and onto her bare back. She smiled again. She put her hand on my face "Like that?" I asked teasing her. "What do you think?" She thought, getting closer to me. She gently bit my bottom lip. "Let's hunt" she whispered, close to my ear. I groaned quietly. "Why do you do this to me?" I asked. She smirked and walked away sassily, turning back to say "Because I can" she then turned back and ran. I followed her, loving the chase. "Good luck" she thought. She picked up speed. I mentally shook my head and followed, trailing slightly behind her. She slowed and sniffed the air, her long brown hair flowing in the wind as she did so. I wanted her now, but I knew we had to eat. I've waited to have her before, I can wait a little bit longer.

///FLASHBACK\\\

It was warm outside, Avery and her friends had gone to the lake. Splashing an playing in the water til the sun began to set. A few of her friends stayed, but she decided to go home. She began to walk home, I followed her, like I always did. She was by herself. She was 16. I almost did, bite her I mean. I came so close, but I had to wait. I had told myself I wouldn't do it until she was 18, so she was technically an adult. I had to wait. She was worth it, so again I waited in the shadows.

~~~~~~ Avery ~~~~~~

I taunted him. I liked it, it drove him crazy. I knew he wanted me and I love to mess with him. I had always been that way, teasing and taunting. I was mischievous according to my parents. While we were running, I thought about my parents. I was nothing to them, along with my brother. My sister though, she was everything. I was the screw up. Getting in trouble, taking risks, being anything but my sister.

///FLASHBACK\\\

"AVERY!!!" My father yelled, "where have you been??!?!?" It was late, he was angry, like always.

"I was out"

"Where?"

"The cinema"

"With who?"

"Amy, Chelsea, Cody, Austin, and David"

"Boys?"

"Cody, Austin and David are boys."

He grunted. "Are you lying to me?"

"No" but I was. I had been with David at his house, but I knew my father would kill me if he knew.

"LIAR!!!" He yelled.

"What?"

"Amy called here, looking for you"

Sh*t. "So where were you?"

"At David's"

"Why can't you be like Olivia?"

"Why would I want to be like Olivia?" We had this conversation often.

"She's smart, has a nice boyfriend, gets great grades, is going to a good college, she's going to be successful. But you, you and Mark, you get in trouble. It's mainly you! Poor Mark just follows you-"

"So I'm stupid? I get bad grades? I'm not going to college? I'm destined for failure? Your wrong dad. I'll show you. You are wrong. But I am not Olivia and I'm f*cking glad! Stop comparing me to her! I'm not her!" I yelled and stormed out, fuming. My mother stood in the hallway and watched.

/// END FLASHBACK\\\

I kept thinking about them, mainly my mom. She didn't understand me either. Neither of them could comprehend that I wasn't my sister. My mom tried to help I guess, and only watched when my dad screamed at me. My brother though, he understood. Mark knew what I was going through, he was going through the same thing. I bet he's the only one who misses me. Olivia might pretend, but I'm sure she doesn't really miss me. Poor Mark, I will see him soon. I promised myself that. I was snapped out of my thoughts by Zayn. "I know love, I bet he does miss you. You will see him soon. I promise. But now you need to focus, we need to hunt." I nodded and slowed. We quickly stalked a deer, taking it down and in seconds draining it of its blood. "Better?" Zayn asked. I smiled and nodded. His eyes were back to their gorgeous chocolate brown, human looking. He smiled and took my hand in his. We walked back to the house leisurely. We had done a large circle and were only about a mile from his door. When we returned home, there was a note saying "Zayn and Avery, we have all gone hunting. We will be back by nightfall. The house is yours. Don't break anything. ;) -Harry (and everyone else)" Zayn looked at me. I smiled at him and slightly rolled my eyes. "Oh, you wanna play that game?" He said, grabbing me loosely around the waist. I kissed him quickly and ducked away from him, running down the hall. I heard him follow. I turned into my room, he was right behind me. He tackled me onto the bed. "Gotcha" he said, pinning me down and kissing me. He grabbed me, pulling me close, kissing me. His kisses meant so much, they were filled with so much emotion, not just another kiss. Special. He ran his fingers along the hem of my sweatshirt, gently grabbing it and pulling it over my head. I did the same to his. He then grabbed the waist of my pants. "Uh-uh" I said, and he moved his hands to my waist, gripping me tightly. I felt like electricity was surging through me, like a fire inside me was starting. Zayn again skillfully worked his tongue into my mouth, I did the same. He rubbed his hands up and down my back, then gripping my hips pulled me even closer to him. He began kissing my neck, then worked his was all the way down to my belly button. He came back to my head and gently brushed his lips along my jawline, making me moan quietly. He kissed me again. I wrapped my legs around him. "I love you Avery" he whispered. "I love you Zayn" I said, and I meant it. Then, we heard the front door open. Zayn sat up slightly, I stayed sprawled on the bed. "Honey I'm home!" A familiar British voice echoed in the hall. Harry. "I hope you didn't break anything" he said mischievously. Zayn and I both rolled our eyes. I got up to retrieve my shirt before going into the living room. Zayn didn't bother and went out shirtless. When we appeared Harry gave us a silly glance. Zayn snorted and everyone laughed. "Movie?" Liam asked. "Sure" we answered. "Batman?" He asked the group. Again the answer was sure. I cuddled in close to Zayn, my hand and head on his bare chest, closing my eyes as if I could sleep.

~~~~~~ Zayn ~~~~~

I looked at Avery resting peacefully on my chest, eyes closed like she was sleeping. I closed my eyes, not out of tiredness but from the pure feeling of bliss.
