We didn’t talk for the rest of the period since her boyfriend was in that class and he kept giving me death glances. The class was extra long today and the teacher didn’t call on me because of my previous outbursts, which was a good thing because that last vision just kept coming back. Like a scratched CD or a broken record it kept repeating itself and bringing me more horror with each replay.
The bell rang and I bolted. Not caring who watched, or who cared, I just let go. Kiley was waiting for me outside the French room.
“You ok?” Her brow furrowed.
“Better, then worse… then worse still.” I smacked my forehead with my hand with such strength that would kill a human.
“You want to talk about it?” She placed her hand on my shoulder,
‘Later,’ I muttered to her in my head.
‘Deal,’ she answered back as she took her seat next to mine.
Class was manageable. Madam Noir figured out shortly after the class started that I was superior to her in French and left me alone. This left me mind-talking to Kiley the whole class,
‘So what happened in Geometry? Did she suspect anything?’ She didn’t look at me as she talked.
‘No, I just had a few visions; all left her either a red-eyed vampire or dead,’
I let the visions run through my mind for her. I heard a small gasp escape her throat to quiet for mortal ears.
‘You’re not really thinking of… you know…?’
‘No. I’m going to take as many fucking precautions as I need to keep me from going insane from the visions and her scent! She’s a fucking succubus screwing with my head!’
I’ve never released the f-bomb in front of a woman before. (Technically I thought it and didn’t say it so it didn’t count.) And the guys who did hear me say it didn’t last long because I killed them… suspicious and I was weak. She stole a glance at me and kept thinking.
‘You need to get out of here then. As soon as school lets out you high-tail it back to your brothers and camp out for a few weeks. You need blood in you. The burn you get from her is depleting your blood source; I can see it in your eyes. They’re getting darker.’
‘Aw shit. I think you’re right, I swim over to England, get some advice from Matt, and then I try to bare breathing next to her.’
I smiled a bit. Wow. How insane was I?
‘Just don’t push yourself ok?’
‘Yes mom.’
I looked at her and she stuck out her tongue at me.
‘Very mature Kiley.’
‘Never said I was.’
The period flashed by. And when the bell rang I waited for Kiley to chat with some girls who were wondering how her hair was so shiny. Stephen’s thoughts were impatient.
