😠😬😠
All of a sudden I heard shouting. I looked in the direction of the noise and saw an angry, crying mel stomping my way. Soon enough I saw Jared going after her. What the fudge I thought as I drank the last of my blood.
"Hey. Mel. What happened?!" I asked, following her closely, Jared still on our tail. "This idiot happened!!" she shouted, coming to an abrupt stop and pointing at Jared. "Babe. Look, I can explain..." he tried to plead but was cut off by a fuming Melissa. "Don't you babe me. It's over you hear me?! Over!!" she screamed. She was breathing heavily by now.
"Mel! What happened?!" I asked, trying to get a clue as to what was going on here, but she ignored me and left the club. I glared at heard and went after her. "Mel! Mel wait up!!" I hollered.
I soon caught up to her and placed a hand on her shoulder, effectively halting her. "look at me, Merl look at me! Breathe OK?! In and out.... That's it just-breathe... " I instructed, trying to calm her down. She did add I said and said "OK... I'm OK now..."
Soon enough Jared came wadling our way "Listen--babe...!" he stuttered "Don't you DARE call me babe again!" she screamed. I winced at the loudness, and I was right beside her, silly me... "But... " he took a tentative step towards her and I stepped in between both of them.
"woah.... Didn't you here her?! She said stay away. What are you even doing here?" I questioned. "well..." he started, only to be cut off by mel. "I'll tell you what he's doing here. What this IDIOT was doing was SMOOCHING ANOTHER GIRL!!!" she shouted the last part,pointing an accusing dinner at him.
"It's not what you think...." he tried to explain but I cut him off "You did what?!" "look mel...." he continued but mel cut him off. "And all this time I thought you were a loyal boyfriend, I even defended you when my friends, mostly ruannah, told me to break up with you. I knew you could be a jerk sometimes but I thought 'hey!, he loves me and that's all that matters'...." she paused.
"I-- I even let it slide when you called and said you couldn't make it. I thought -- I thought that it was because of something important and I didn't want to sound like a clingy girlfriend... I wanted to give you enough space you needed to breathe..... But here I find you, in a club, smooching another girl. HOW DO YOU EXPECT ME TO REACT TO THAT?!" she shouted in between sobs.
"look. Babe. It's not what you..." I couldn't take it anymore and I punched him square in the face. I knew he was a jerk but this was just taking it too far. Mel is my one and only best friend. She's like a sister to me, and no one makes Melissa Santos cry. And I mean NO ONE!
"How dare you make Melissa cry?!" I shouted at him. I didn't even let him talk I grabbed his shoulders and kneed him in the guts. "that's for being a jerk to a sweet person like Melissa!!!" I shouted as he squirmed on the floor. I kicked him down before he could get a chance to stand up properly. "and that's for cheating on Melissa!" I concluded.
"Come on Melissa. Let's go. He's not worth our time or your tears. Wipe them off now..." I held her shoulders, wiping her tears and leading her to the parking lot. Jared stood up again and tried to follow us and when I saw him, I shouted "don't you DARE follow us!!", giving him a round house kick, knocking him out in the process.
"and stay there!!" I pointed at his unconscious body. From the corner of my eye I spotted Melissa running away. " Melissa wait!!" I shouted, running after her.
She ran into an alley and I followed close behind. She was crying furiously. "shh... Mel it's OK, that jerk won't bother you again so it's OK. It's all good now...." I cooed, smoothening out her hair. "I- I trusted - him... " she said in between sobs.
"shh. I know, I know. It's OK!" I cooed softly. "Come on, let's get you home and you can have a nice cup of chocolate. Hmm?" I said urging her to move. She nodded and we were about to go when, suddenly, a man came in front of us.
We backed up towards the exit but another one came. And another. Now there were three of them. "well well well. Lookie what we have here. Isn't it a little too late for you girls to be out at this time?" the first man spoke up.
"Melissa, we really have to go now..." I whispered to Melissa behind me, still eyeing them cautiously. "come on now! Let's get you out of here before that mean man comes back to bother you." the second one suggested as they neared us. "wait. How did you.... You've been watching us haven't you?" I accused silently. "well, looks like we got a smart one ain't it Al.?!" the same man stated.
"yeah looks like it!" replied the one I assume is 'Al', and from the looks of it, they have no idea who we are, who I was too be specific. "who are you guys and what do you want from us?" I questioned, even though I knew they wouldn't give me a straight answer. "oh we just wanna be friends!" the third guy finally spoke up.
From their scents I could tell they were vampires. I could easily take them down but with Melissa here, I hesitated. I didn't want her to get hurt. Plus it would draw too much attention to me. "Now Melissa on the count of three I want you to run and go get help OK?" I whispered to Melissa in such a way that they wouldn't catch.
"But ruannah what about...?" she whined "No buts. Just do as I say OK? I can handle myself" I cut her off. She nodded "Now what are yous twos talking about?!" inquired the third man. "On the count of three... 1,2...3"i whisper yelled. She did as I said, bolting towards the exit.
"catch her Chad!!" shouted the guy named 'Al' to the second guy. I looked around and, thanks to my heightened vision, I saw a trash can and threw it at them. "I don't think I have you permission to follow her!!!" I stated in a low tone. "well well, we've got a feisty one ain't it?" commented Chad. "Don't worry, she won't get far" the third one simply replied as I pondered on what he meant by she won't get far. Soon they started advancing towards me and I couldn't help but feel there was something off about their scenario.
I sensed a fourth vamp at about the same time I heard struggling. "Let...me...go you...big of!!!" .My heart sank They got mel. I looked to the exit to see her being held by another bulky man. "LET HER GO!! MEL!!!"
I was about to charge to her aid but what he did next held me back. In the blink of an eye he had a knife to her neck. "If you move one inch I'll slice her head off!!" "You wouldn't." I simply stated.
He moved the knife closer, piercing her skin a little at the simple contact. "NO!!". I saw the horrified look on her face as she cried furiously.
"Mel... " I whispered and lowered my head in defeat. I felt a hand grab me from behind, but even at that, I didn't struggle. A hand covered my face and I inhaled deeply. I knew, from the district smell, what it was and my gene would have been able to counter it but, seeing as mel was in danger, I had to succumb to its effects. With one final look at her I blacked out....
