so... The chapter:
The sound of something or someone moving around the room woke me up. My eyes were still closed but I wore a frown, I casually turned around so I'd be facing where Leon usually rests, my eyes opened when I could tell he wasn't there. I closed them again when I felt the bed dip in favour to Leon's weight. "Violetta," he spoke in a soft voice, "baby wake up," my cheeks instantly turned red when he called me that, I obeyed and opened my eyes. I saw him sitting on the bed with his back to me, his head down. I detangled myself out of the white sheets and sat cross legged behind him, I pulled my hair into a messy bun and secured it with the spare hairband on my wrist. I moved closer to him, and rested my chin on his shoulder, looking at what he was looking at. His head turned to look at me but my eyes were still on the frames picture in his hands.
It had never occurred to me that Leon feels what I feel whenever I miss my mother. It must be worse for him, he has memories, I don't. Both are bad in their own way, I guess.
"She's very pretty," I commented, looking at the blonde haired, green eyed, petite lady who wore an oversized black hat on her head and a black dress, her bright smile shone through the picture. Next to her was Leon's father, actually smiling. Like, really widely. I smiled a little because of how much he and Leon looked alike. They were both looking down at a baby that had unmistakable hazel eyes, with the same hint of green as always. The baby was sitting in a buggy and the picture was taken in what seems like a forest, with bright green trees and grass.
He took in a deep breath. "Yeah, she was," he replied slowly, still looking at me. "I wish you could've met her, she would've loved you," he chuckled lightly, "she would've said, 'anyone who can put up with Leon is the perfect girl,'"
I smiled and finally looked at him, "you're not that hard to put up with you know," I said, quieter than I had wanted to.
He didn't say anything but he carried on looking at me, with something in his eyes, like admiration.
"You're amazing, you know." He whispered, breaking the eye contact. "I just... Never realised," he spoke, his fingers ran over the picture frame. "How much Ludmila looked like her," he said, it wasn't hard to recognise the pain in his voice. "My whole life, I've been alone. Thinking I'm all alone, because my mother and father are gone but... Ludmi, she... Hasn't even met her real parents, or her real life and she doesn't even show like she's alone,"
My arms unconsciously wrapped around his shoulder from behind. His right hand held my fore-arm and goosebumps covered my body. "Sorry," he whispered, removing his hand, obviously noticing the goosebumps.
"No," I said, placing the hand back to where it was, "don't be, it wasn't... I'm not cold," I lied. His hand was colder than usual, it's never been that cold, even I noticed that.
We walked through the park, side by side, I probably had the most goofiest grin on my face, he reached for my hand. His hand moulded and held mine perfectly.
"Leon, why is your hand so cold?" I asked, looking at him concerned as worry Clouded his expression.
"W-what?" He stuttered. In the 2 months we've been together I've never heard him stutter before, like I've caught him off guard. "It's nothing don't worry Vilu,"
We walked to my home in silence. It's not like I've not noticed his cold hands or arms whenever he hugged me, or his cold lips when he kissed me. I've just never brought it up.
"What happened?" I asked, after a few moments of silence, finally getting used to the cold.
"Same as yours," he replies bluntly. I was quite shocked to say the least.
"A car crash? Leon, aren't va-"
"It wasn't a car crash, violetta," he said quickly. I gasped slightly. My dad told me that mother was in a car crash, this doesn't make sense.
"Leon my mum died in a ca-" his hand moved from my arm and the little goosebumps I had on my arm faded, the air felt warm against it.
"Why didn't you tell me you were cold?" He asked, hurt evident in his voice.
I didn't answer, my mind was racing with thoughts.
More lies.
My mother didn't even die in a car crash, it didn't make sense. My father lied to me yet again. I looked down, and saw the picture. I unwrapped my arms from Leon's shoulder and moved to sit next to him. "I wasn't cold because of you," I mumbled, I wasn't even sure if he heard. That wasn't a lie, I was actually cold because I was in my lilac shorts and faded pink vest top.
"My dad told me about your mother, he told me not to tell you," he said. I looked at him blankly.
"Your mother was murdered. Your dad just told you it was a car crash, the same people that killed my dad, jade and Matias-"
"You knew?" I asked, "you knew the truth and didn't tell me?"
He just stared at me, my gaze lowered to my bare knees. I just stared at them in shock. Even he lied to me. I bit the inside of my cheek because I was nervous.
Nervous.
I'm actually nervous, nervous because I actually know the truth? Because Leon lied to me?
"Um, how long d-did you know for?" I asked slowly, not looking at him but he was still looking at me.
"Not long, a few months," he muttered. I nodded slowly before looking at him, "a few months," I repeated, "what's that, 3, 4 months? 5?" I looked at him.
"Vilu does that-"
"Yes that does matter! It's my mothers death!" I raised my voice slightly.
"I don't know," he sighed, "maybe 6 or 7," I looked at him in shock.
Over half of our relationship. He clearly realised what was going on in my mind because of what he said next. "I know, it's a long time, Vilu," he looked full of regret. My father knew longer than he did, my father made up the lie. His intense hazel eyes locked with my chocolate ones. "Baby, please," he whispered, putting his hand on my cheek. "Don't be mad," his eyes were closed. I closed mine too and immediately felt stinging in my eyes. A single tear rolled down my left cheek and hit Leon's hand. I opened my eyes and quickly tried to wipe it but his eyes were already open. "I love you," he said. I nodded back with a small smile on my face.
"Yeah," I whispered. I wrapped my arms around him tightly, taking in his musky heavy scent, his big arms held my small waist against him. I buried my head in his chest, and loosened my grip on him. "Um," I sniffed and looked at him, "when do we go to-"
"Not for a while, um, we're leaving around 4, so we'll get there for six," I just nodded and buried my head back in his chest and inhaled sharply.
"What time is it?" I asked, looking back at him.
"Around 11, I thought I'd let you sleep if you wanna come and help," he said quietly, I put my hands on his shoulders and kissed his lips lightly. "I'm sorry, Violetta, you know that right, my dad-"
"It's fine... I mean my father died lying to me so, you know," I joked, trying to lighten the mood.
He just kissed me passionately, his cold lips on mine. I pulled away and smiled at him. "I love you," I said.
*
I stood by the door, ready to leave, Camila stood by me, muttering things about Diego under her breath. "What?" I asked, looking at her, but secretly looking around for Leon.
"Huh? Nothing I was... Where are they?" She suddenly asked, looking around for everyone.
"I don't know, they're somewhere, anyway Camila can I tell you something?" I asked shakily.
"Is it a secret? Because I can just read your-"
"I think I wanna be a vampire," I blurted. She looked more worried than I did.
"What?!" I heard someone say behind me. I closed my eyes.
Don't be Leon. Don't be Leon.
I slowly turned around and saw Marco's worried expression. I let out a sigh of relief. "Violetta, you can't be serious,"
"Yeah, it's just a thought isn't it," Camila said.
"Ok then, I know I want to-" I was silenced by Camila when she gestured to Leon who was walking over to us with Diego, as Nathalia, Fede and Ludmi followed them.
"Hey, love," Leon said casually.
I, however, was reaching my ultimate blush. He winked at me when he noticed I was blushing and just when I thought my cheeks were hot, they burnt.
We walked side by side through the snow when he stopped. I looked at the big building in front of us. The boring grey and the bright fires that burned around it hurt my head.
"Someone could use colour advice, I mean seriously," Ludmila mentioned as I couldn't help but laugh.
"So, who's ready to kill?" Was the last thing I heard, I was pretty sure it came from Marco.
Now, I'm standing here, in the middle of a fight. I haven't experienced anything like this since the food fight in 8th grade. "Watch the hair!" I broke off from my thoughts and saw Marco tackling some devilish looking guy, Marco punched him and stabbed the blade in his heart. "I told you to watch the hair," he smirked as the body turned to dust and he looked my way with a slight smile. His expression changed as he gestured to something behind me. I turned around and saw some guy slowly walking towards me, I didn't know what to do.
He got closer and I froze, I really shouldn't have come here.
He smiled deviously and creepily before pulling me closer to him.
Why am I frozen?
He didn't have a blade or any weapon. To be honest, he probably didn't need one. His hand stroked my cheek and stopped at my neck.
He held my neck, I hated being frozen. You'd think in a situation like this you would fight the guy. But you don't, you freeze out of pure fear. He leaned closer to my ear and whispered, "no one will notice," his disgusting breath made my neck feel dirty, "it won't hurt," he said. That's when it hit me.
He wasn't going to kill me.
I tries to say something, anything. My eyes instantly searched for Leon. He was busy with Diego, and Camila was with Ludmila. Fede and Marco both taking on a group. I realised I was stuck, far away from everyone else. The idiot gripped my arms harshly, "come with me!" He snarled in my face. My eyes were closed as I tried not to cry and I tried to hit the guy, but I was stuck.
I was punched in the stomach and thrown over his shoulder as he ran.
"Like I said," he stroked my arm, "this won't hurt," he harshly pushes me against the wall, the impact causing me to scrunch my eyes shut. Not wanting to see what happens next. His hot breath lingered on my neck. If I knew one thing for sure, it's that he's gonna do much more than bite me. His hands touched me and I let out cries of help. He held my hands above my head, this is it.
I screamed as loud as I could when his body fell on me, I opened my eyes to see his injured body on the ground. He struggled to moved before it turned into dust. I let out more than a breath of relief. I let out tears as I saw Leon holding a bloody dagger in his hands. It immediately dropped when he saw me and I literally held on to him for dear life, sobbing on his shoulder. "Leon, I'm sorry," I whispered as he tensed up.
"Don't you dare apologise Violetta, you don't need to,"
I smiled at him and looked down at my shaking hands. He held then and they automatically stopped shaking. He dragged me into the room where everyone was fighting, I looked around at the chaos. Nathalia wasn't her calm self, she was literally a warrior out there. Killing everyone with one swift move. I felt Leon place a dagger in my hand. "Go," I told him, "Leon go," he looked at me as I nodded. He ran to Diego, as I turned around and saw one of them leaping at me with a freaking sword. I lifted my shaky hand and pierced wherever their black heart should be. All I know is that I stabbed somewhere on the left side of the chest. He fell in his knees slowly before he fell to the ground and disintegrated.
Holy shit I just killed a vampire.
