I spent the next few days indoors. I didn't feel like going out and it burned to even look at sunlight. Damon said it was because I wasn't use to being a vampire yet. I still refused to drink blood. I didn't want to associate myself with any of this,but by late Tuesday night I gave in.
Damon offered me a the rest of his glass of blood and I took it without hesitation. Maybe it was the smell that enticed me.. all I knew was that it was the best thing I've ever tasted.It made me feel alive and I felt like I could do anything.
As I finished the glass he grinned. "It isn't that bad..is it?" I blushed lightly and looked away. "I-It's great"
We spent the rest of the evening talking and he gave me a ring that was suppose to help me to be more tolerant to the sun. He said I could walk freely in daylight as long as I wore it.
"I-I need to go.." I told him as I stood up and grabbed my jacket. "What's wrong Clara? I thought you were having a good time?" He sounded hurt but I just needed to get away. "I need to go and study..I have a final on Monday." I lied,I'm a horrible liar, I just wanted to get away from him,from his handsome looks and his bewitching eyes. I ran home and straight to my room,I felt guilty,half guilty knowing I had a boyfriend and the other half knowing I just left with a horrible explanation.
I missed Jeremy..more and more each day. When was he coming back? Why did he just leave? Why? Did I not mean that much to him?
I just wanted him to hold me,to feel his heart beating close to mine..then I realized I didn't have a beating heart,I was dead. Forever.
