He was about to lean in just a bit more towards me when my knee came in contact with his manly hood. He let go of my hand when I did this as he instinctively clutched his manliness as I hoped it knocked sensed into him.
I walked away while he was distracted as I didn't want to get mysrelf into any avoidable trouble. When I got to the door leading to the VIP section, I saw Maia already waiting for me.
''What took you so long? I've been waiting for a while'' she said peering at me
''Well, I had a bit of situation with a drunk dude'' I say walking past her and opening the door.
''Well, you better go and get cleaned up before your dad sees the blood smears on your arms'' she said, making me stop where I was
''But I didn't do anything wrong, I got this from the very wet and very drunk street vamps'' I say, turning round to face her.
''Yeah and I believe you, but your dad may not. And we don't want to get him worried unnecessarily especially after your episode last month.
By ''episodes'' she meant when I killed a girl last summer. I was high, and addicted and dumb and it was a really bad day, Then this girl came, really wanting to make friends and I had this urge to just bite her. The only thing I could see was vein, filled with so much blood and it was throbbing so badly, it was calling me but I tried so hard to control my urges and I walked away but she just kept following even after I told her to get lost. She kept following me and I could hear her heart pounding against her chest in my head. I couldn't control it anymore and I turned to face her with my blood shot eyes and I could hear her heart beat faster, I told her to run but she kept asking if I was ok and I couldn't take it anymore and I bit her. I kept drinking and I couldn't stop to heal her because I just kept wanting more blood. I blacked out and when I woke up, I was in a hospital and they told me that I had been a victim of an animal attack but the vampires and I knew what really happened. My dad has been understanding but he also has an eye out for me incase I take a mis-step.
''OK, you go ahead. I'll go to the ladies and clean myself up'' I say as she turned to face me.
''You need any help?'' she asked me, now looking at me
''No, I'll be fine'' I say and turn left towards the bathroom befor I shout to her, ''Keep some champagne for me, will you?'' and then enter the bathroom.
I look at myself in the mirror and suppon up the loudest scream I could, just to let out my frustration as I slumped to the floor in a sea of tears. Nobody would hear me, the walls were made of stone. It was a good thing I carried makeup in my bag or I would go out looking like Hail Mary when I was done crying, with pale skin, smeared lipstick and mascara streaks down my cheeks. My insides were turning with rage and I was so surprised that I wasn't turning as red as a tomato with the fire burning inside me, caused by frustration. I guess the reason I'm angry and frustrated is because I don't know what IS frustrating me. Is it because my dad doesn't trust I'll relapse or because my best friend seems to also not trust me but is hiding it? Is it because I know they're right and there is a possibilty that I'd kill someone again or was it just because of the blood on my arms?
I couldn't stay here all night, I think to myself so I stand up and look at myself in the mirror
''Hey, girl. You look really beautiful and I bet people would still think you are the number one cheerleader and the most beautiful girl in school'' I said to myself as I looked at my almond shaped eyes that were now puffy because of my crying, my large full lips that now had smeared matte lipstick on it and my soft handled brows- which like my diamond studded ear rings- were just perfect. I reached out to get some tissue which I dampened with the water from the sink which I wiped off. I looked at my dress to make sure there were no stains on it as I removed a bit of wet tissue from my the little part of my slim waist that was left showing in my two piece dress.
I left my back length wavy hair down and did my make-up before checking myself again in the mirror, taking a deep breath and leaving the serenity of the bathroom to a raving, noise-filled party. I went to the VIP section and went in without having to give them a pass, since I was the daughter of the host.
''Anything I can help you with?'' I heard a waiter ask while he walked up to me
''Yeah, can you get me a bloody mary but can you replace the tomato with blood and light it on fire'' I said and sat on a bar bench waiting for him to make my order. As I waited, I saw people dancing to the music that was as loud and as annoying as it was outside.
''Your drink miss'' The bartender asked as he handed me the drink
''Thank you'' I said as I signalled for him to place it on the bar counter as I knew it would be hot.
''You look as hot as your drink right now'' I heard a familiar voice behind me say.
''Hey Pete. You know, you should really be more creative with your pick up lines'' I said, picking up my drink and turning to face him. Pete had always had a crush on him, and all the vampires wanted our families to merge through our marriage and form a bigger clan, as Pete's dad was the leader of a different clan in Sydney.
''I guess I should'' he said grinning
''What are you guys doing all the way in New York from sydney?'' I asked taking my drink and getting up
''Well, your father sent an invitation and I just couldn't refuse the urge to see you'' he said with a foolish smirk on his face.
''Well, you'll have to make do with the short time you have had with me because I have got to go'' I say pushing past him and walking towards where my dad and Maia would be.
Just as I went past Pete, I heard him say, "I don't have to wait as long as I usually do to see you because I'm going to be starting at your school, New York Halls, next week.''
''Wait, what?!'' I said turning back to face him angrily but he was already gone.
Oh, parties like this always had bad luck!
I blew out the fire on my drink and took it down in almost one gulp.
''Hey, can you get me another bloody Mary...no substitute but extra bloody'' I say and collected it when the order came back.
I walked to where my dad
''Hey baby, I almost thought you weren't going to make it'' my dad says looking up at me from his silver seat which seems weird because it could be used to kill him, so I guess he has a whole lot of trust and confidence in the people here,
''Of course, I'd make it dad. But I just wanted to know...did you know Pete was coming to my school?'' I ask hoping with every possible cell and part of me that he didn't know.
''Well, I'm sorry sweetie but I knew, it must have slipped my mind. But look on the good side, you're seventeen now and in a couple of months you'll turn eighteen, then vampires from all areas will be looking to marry you. So it's convenient for you that you have someone here already and you don't have to look far.'' he said not really paying attention to me
''Dad, it's my life. I don't love him, I don't want to marry him. You should tell me things like this and let me decide dad.'' I say mad at him
He stood up and hugged me, almost knocking my drink over, and then he says, '' Ok, I'm sorry. Next time something like this comes up, I'll tell you about it. I promise'' he said and kissed me on my forehead.
I could never stay mad at him for long so I all could say is, ''Thanks dad'' and hoped he kept the promise as he sat down.
I walked away from him and found Maia talking and giggling with Damien so I decided to leave them be and find something to do. I drank my bloody Mary after I forgot it was there and the bar was the only place I felt I could go.
''Hi'' I said calling a bartender to take my order
''Sorry Miss, how can I help you?'' the bartender aid
''Um...just surprise me. Make me something bloody but with style'' I said after a while of thinking.
''Here miss, anything else?'' he said handing me a cocktail glass with some fuchsia color-looking drink in it, with an umbrella in it.
''What is this?'' I asked looking in the glass
''It's a bloody Pimms slushie'' he said. I drank it down quickly and then said
''Can you get me two more glasses?'' I asked and smiled sweetly
''Sure, as long as I get my pay'' and then gave me two more glasses
I drank them down quickly because it distracted me and made me happier. I felt like I was floating on air and I just felt free. I don't understand why drinking has to be bad.
''Hey'' I say, drunkenly calling the bartender
''What can I get you?'' he says wiping down a glass
''Your name'' I say drunkenly flirting with him
''Wang''
''That's a nice name, are you a vampire? Cause if you are, you smell really human''
''Oh, I'm a human'' he said and I could see that he was slowly walking away
''Don't worry, you don't have to run away. If I was going to kill you cause I actually think you're cute, I would have already but can you just get me another drink.'' I say with my head resting on my palm
''What kind of drink?'' I say looking at him and wondering if I would normally have eaten him and I wouldn't have.
''Just plain blood would do'' I say
''You sure?'' he asked starting to tremble.
''Yeah, it will. It is better than me killing someone'' I said smiling and showing him my fangs and eyes and I was sure I looked psychotic so I stopped.
''Here'' he said dropping it in front of me and then leaving me as fast as he could.
I drank it down as quickly as I could which gave me an ecstatic rush. I stood up and decided I should probably go up to bed and take some drugs to get me off the blood.
I staggered out of the VIP section and felt a bit dizzy as the music pounded in my head and people pushed me around.
I was walking around the party feeling sluggish and being passed from person to person until I bumped into a hard wall. I put my hand to feel it and wondered why it was there as I hadn't noticed it on my way down or ever for that matter. I put my hand on it wondering. And then I realized it was wearing a shirt... oh no, it wasn't a wall
''Hi, there'' I heard from above me. I looked up to see the bluest eyes I had ever seen and he had a chiseled but most wonderful jawline, a sleek nose, and brown hair.
I stood there dumb for a while and then I realized I was still holding onto his shirt.
