Finding You

Chapter ~~12

             There was a sound of metal breaking and the room went quiet. There were more sounds of cracking and breaking and everyone was looking around to see where it was coming from. I looked up to see a huge crack starting from where James’ sword had plunged into the metal ceiling.

            Uh oh.

            Then there was a terrible sound and the ceiling began to fall. Demons acted fast and began to move Myxs out of the way. But there were more Myxs than Demons in our class. I felt paralyzed as I watched large pieces of metal and wood fall to the ground. Then I saw a huge piece headed right towards me. There’s no way I can get out of the way in time. I backed up against the wall and closed my eyes. Then I heard a rip and a smash. My face was hit with a spray of liquid. The room went quiet. Then there was nothing but screams. I waited for the pain to come but there was none. Did I die instantly? I didn’t even feel any pain.

            I opened my eyes, and right in front of me was Lucas. His palms were against the wall on both sides of my face. His eyes were pained. I looked down and saw the metal bar that was headed toward me had gone right through him. Lucas shielded me. I screamed at the top of my lungs. We were buried behind a wall of rubble. I looked right at him. He looked at me with a smile on his face.

            “Help” I tried to yell but my throat had dried up and it came out as a croak. Tears ran down my face, and mixed with Lucas’ blood. Lucas’ smile widened.

            “You look like a Demon” he said in strained voice. “Crying blood and tears.”

            “Shut up. This is no time for jokes” I scolded.  “Why would you do that?”

            “Because lover-” Blood gushed from his mouth and Lucas’ eyes closed.

            Some of it went on my face and into my mouth. I swallowed it, and felt its affects immediately. I felt stronger than ever. I pushed on the metal bar that was pinning Lucas and I. It squeaked as I pushed it but it slowly moved. A small whole was beginning to form down by the ground. I pushed until I thought it was big enough that Lucas and I could get through. Now I have separate Lucas and the metal. Oh god this is gross. I couldn’t look down at Lucas’ stomach. I put my hands on Lucas shoulders and yanked. There was a terrible squishing sound. I think I might throw up.

            I pushed back my nausea and pushed Lucas through the hole. I squirmed my way out. The ceiling had fallen and separated the room in two. I could hear the screams of people caught under the debris. I pulled Lucas further away from the pile of rubble. I looked at his stomach. How do I help him? Would CPR help a Demon? No they don’t even breathe. Lucas has to heal. But he isn’t awake. He needs blood. I looked around and saw a sharp broken bar. I picked it up and made a cut on my arm. I cried out from the pain. I put my arm close to his nose. His eyes opened and he looked down at my arm. He looked back up at me and shook his head. His eyes were furious.

            “Yes you need it. Just take a little so I know you’ll live.” He looked at me his eyes unsure. “Please, do it for me.” Lucas’ fangs came down and he began to suck from the cut. It felt weird. It didn’t hurt, I just felt numb.

            My whole arm felt numb. Within moments he stopped. He licked my wound a couple times with his tongue. His eyes were excited and smoldering and there was a smile on his lips. He closed his eyes. I felt better now that he had blood in him. I began to feel a little dizzy. My vision was getting worse and worse until I just blacked out.

            I slowly opened my eyes. There was a white wall across from me. It’s very bright in here. Where am I? Where’s Lucas? Is he okay? I sat up. I was in a room somewhere.
