Unknown darkness- Chapter 15 A plea to be normal

Unknown darkness -A plea to be normal

                When I wake up, unlike when I’m back in my bed at school, there is no sun shining through a window or Steph shoving me from my bed with a cup a of coffee waiting for me. The only light that I can see here is the light from the living room shining from underneath the door, and an alarm clock light. It says its 2:60Am so I know it’s completely useless.

When my feet hit the cold stone floor I get chills all up my body. After I put on my socks I slowly shuffle out to the living room. Apollo looks up from his book and gives me a concerned glance.

“Jessie dear, are you ok? You seem kind of down.”

“Yeah I’m fine. Just a little bit hungry.”

“I’m sorry Jessie. I didn’t know you would be coming here, or I would have made you some food, or at least picked some up. Mason usually eats out and I don’t eat anything. We only have a gallon of milk which I think is a tad bit expired, and blood bags. If you would like you could go to the store?”

“Sure, I wouldn’t mind doing that. Does mason want anything… or does he just drink blood?”

“No dear, He eats just as much as every other teen boy. With the added diet of blood of course.”

“Oh… well then do you think he would like anything from the store?”

“Well dear… I honestly don’t know. We don’t cook here even if we have a stove. I’ve never been out with him when he went to eat. Maybe you would like to bring him with you?”

“Yeah, maybe…”

“He’s in my bedroom sleeping. It’s the room across from where you were. You can go wake him up and ask. Besides its 3am, I don’t want you out on your own.” With a nod I walk down the stone hallway to Apollo’s room. When I walk in I see mason sprawled out across a big red bed. When I get closer his face looks so normal. His broad jaw… long dark eyelashes… sweet pink lips… smooth neck. My eyes travel down to his broad shoulders and chest. He has perfect space between his pect's and has 6 perfect abs. This boy pretty much fell into my lap at THE most in convenient time in my life. Well more like jumped into my lap. As if he knew I was staring at him he woke up and grabbed my arm and slung me on the bed.

“Ow! What was that for?”

“Oh, I’m sorry Jessie. Automatic reaction. Why you in here?”

“I came in to ask you to go to the store with me. So we can get a little food in the fridge.”

“Oh ok. We’ll let me get a shirt on.”  When he lifts his arms to get his shirt on his back looks so smooth… I kind of really want to touch him.

“Jessie?”

“Uh, Yeah?”

“Umm… is there something on my back? I can feel you looking at me.”

“Oh!” Shit… what do I say? Ummm…

“You have a pimple on your back. Let me get some cream to get rid of it. I have some in my purse.”  Of Corse I really don’t have any. Maybe some lotion will work. I squirt a little bit of lotion on my finger then run in and put it on his “Pimple”.

“All done, it should be gone by tomorrow.”

“Well, thanks.”

“Mhm.” After all that I was so happy to be out of the room and in the car driving away from my underground hideout. Even though I’ve only been there one night. I feel naked leaving its security. We pull up in the Wal-Mart parking lot. For it being almost 4am the place is really crowded and we have to park all the way in the back. As we go through the store mason and I just throw anything we think would be good into the cart. By the end of our trip we had everything from the basics like milk and eggs to Oreo’s and ice cream. We had to have bought at least 5 packages of steak and hamburger.  As we make our way out of the store I realize that we are only about 2 minutes away from David’s house. I don’t know how we are going to work out with the situation I’m in now. Maybe we can try, there is no harm in that is there?

“Jessie? You want to go get some Chinese food?”

“Yeah sure”

“You look kind of sick Jessie. Why don’t you let me drive?” I hadn’t even noticed but he’s right. I do feel a little bit more on the shitty side.

“Sure.” I slowly jump into the passenger side and mason starts the car.

“Jessie?”

“Yeah?”

“I think maybe you need some blood.”

“I can’t…”

“You have to.”

“I don’t want to hurt anyone.”

“You won’t. Here” He extends out his wrist to me then in one quick motion I couldn’t even see, his blood starts flowing from his wrist. My stomach clenches up in knots, and my body tenses up. The scent of his blood fills my nostrils. Before I knew it, or even thought it, my teeth were clamed onto his wrist and his sweet blood was flowing down my throat, quenching this pain I didn’t even know was there, filling this craving that could control my very being. When I pull away from his wrist, my world seems to be spinning out of control all around me and I can’t do a single thing about it. Nothing, I’m a monster now and I can’t do a thing about it… as soon as this little incident started it ended, and I was left with a concerned mason and a full stomach.

“Jessie, you didn’t hurt me. Let’s get you home so you can rest.” When we get to the house I can’t even move. I feel my body being lifted up and I look up into the sweet brown eyes of mason. He looks different then the first night I ever looked up at him. He looks more human, he looks normal. When mason lays me down in his bed, he kisses my cheek then leaves the room.

            What am I going to do…?

My dreams were filled with blood again. Although it’s not my parents blood, or even my aunts. It’s my blood. My dead body lying on an old stone floor. A solid silver dagger stabbed into my chest; and a dark slender body standing over mine. My blood sliding down her neck from her mouth, and complete power filling her eyes.
