Once we got there, Helen placed me on the bed and went out of the room leaving me confused but sooner than I could think where she had gone, she came back with some pills in her hand.
“Here, they will help a lot erm I think you need some rest. You look a bit tired, I’ll erm bring some food up later. You must be starving.”
With that, she walked out of my room. I glanced around and got up holding on to things like book stands and desks to keep me steady while I made my way to the wardrobe. Once I got there I grabbed any random long t-shirt and got changed. I slowly made my way back to bed, grabbed a pill, put it in my mouth, and had a drink. Then I climbed into bed and closed my eyes and not long after I drifted off to sleep.
I woke up with sweat running down my forehead. I had it again... I have had it every night since my mom died you see... I’ve had the same dream over and over again. One of the pain and the suffering my mom went through and one day me too. I glanced out of the window to see that it was late morning. I slowly got out of bed as my leg was still hurting but not as bad as yesterday. I made my way to the wardrobe and grabbed anything I could find to wear for today. Once I did, I made my way to have a shower and brush my teeth. I finished my shower and walked out of the bathroom to see Ruby standing in the room. Great.
“What do you want?”
“Huh oh hi Claire. What makes you think I want something?”
“I don’t know. Well if you don’t want anything, why the hell are you in here?”
“And Helen said you were nice. I just came here to tell you that if you think for one moment we care for you or like you, well you are so wrong. You are just a snack to us. Just keep that in mind and stay away from my boyfriend.”
“You’re scared that a little human like me is going to be taking your boyfriend away from you, I think that I’ll take that as a compliment” she huffed and walked away making her hips go side to side. I’ll tell you, it looked really stupid. It made me giggle just a little.
Once she was gone, I made my way down the stairs holding on to the banister and taking it easy step by step.
“Erm, you need help there?”
I turned around and glanced up to see a guy I’d never seen before standing there.
“Name’s Fayt by the way”
“Claire and erm... yeah sure that would help a lot”
He came down to me and helped me down the stairs by carrying me. Once we got down the stairs he put me down slowly.
“Sorry about Ruby”
“Huh?”
“Erm, I heard her talking to you upstairs. Don’t worry, she will be gone soon. She is just a... well an ex-girlfriend of Blake. She is just too attached to him but Blake can’t find a new one. If you know what I mean. Anyway you’re amazing, you know that not many people can stand up to her”
“Erm thanks and thank you for helping me down the stairs”
“Erm yeah, you’re welcome. Are you hungry? Come on I’ll show you to the kitchen” he grabbed my hand which made me shiver as he did and we walked to the kitchen.
Once we made it to the kitchen everyone was there talking and eating bacon and eggs.
I looked at Fyat and asked, “You eat human food too?”
“Yeah, it’s still nice. We just prefer blood”
“Yeah, of course. How can you go out in the sun?”
“Well we might be vampires and all but we just can. We are just like you except for drinking blood and having special vampiric powers”
“Cool. What powers?”
“Well Jason ca-”
“God, why don’t you just tell her everything? She will die soon anyway so what’s the point?” Ruby interrupted Fayt.
I made my way to a seat near the counter, sat down, and grabbed some cornflakes. I glanced up to see Ruby giving me a dirty look while talking to Blake. I gave her a fake smile then gave her the finger and began to eat my food.
“Who the hell do you think you are?” I glanced up to see Ruby in my face and everyone was turning their heads toward me.
“Claire Dawson of course. God dumb ass”
Suddenly she grabbed my plate and smashed it on the floor.
“Hey I was eating that”
The next thing I knew, she had her fangs out and was about to jump on me.
