I was upstairs putting away all of my new stuff that I got from the mall today. It was exciting and a little embarrassing when Hunter walked around Victoria Secret with me though. I tried talking him into staying outside of the store, but he was being paranoid. He said he didn't want to risk it Since we are in the city. Everything was going very good until we chose to eat lunch at the food court.
While Hunter was in line ordering our food a man came and sat at my table wihout asking if it was okay. I tried to tell him that that seat was occupied. You know just trying to get him to get up and leave, but he didn't. I tried telling him I was waiting on someone, but that didn't work either.
"You look like someone I know." That was the first thing he had said to me.
"No, you are probably thinking of someone else." I said trying to play it cool and hoping I was right at the same time.
"No you definitely look like her. You see she went missing a few days ago and I have been trying to find her. So when I saw you, I thought you were her. You both look identical." The man had said. My heart started to beat faster than usual. I felt nervous and paranoid. Maybe coming to the city was a bad idea. I had thought at that time.
Before either I or the man could say anything, Hunter came. I was so glad to see Hunter at that very moment, but I was still paranoid. Hunter thankfully got rid of the man though and once he did we left to go back home. Home. It feels so weird calling this my home now, but it also feels right. Having Hunter by my side feels right, but I don't want him to get hurt for me. I frown as I folded my last pair of clothing and placed it in the drawer. I walked downstairs to join Hunter in the kitchen.
"Do you need any help?" I asked him, I want to feel like I can do something for once.
"No, dinner is just about done. You can set the table up if you want to though." Hunter says and smiled at me. I felt butterflies dancing around in my stomach. My heart always speeds up when I'm around this man. I quickly turn away from him so he wouldn't notice my blush and I started to set the table up to keep my mind busy.
If I didn't, then Hunter would be on my mind the whole time and there would be butterflies in my stomach. My mom told me as a child that once someone feels butterflies in their stomach, it meant they had feelings for someone. I know, it didn't sound like mom to actually tell me something like that. But I was just a little girl and one day while I was running around the palace, I had heard some of the maids talking about butterflies and their stomachs. So as a little girl I was curious and asked my mom about it and thats when she told me what it meant. I never felt that sensation before, at least not until now.
"You okay?" Hunter asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. I turn around to find him behind me, so very close behind me. So when I turned around I was leaning on the dining table with both of my hands gripping the edge of it as Hunter was leaning towards me. Not for a kiss of course but our bodies touched and sparks went off. This is the second time its done this today. The first time was when Hunter held my hand at the mall. Sparks went into my hand at his touch. And now it did it again when his hand brushed against my knee.
"Y-yea I'm okay." I say stumbling around my words a little. I tried to move over so we aren't so close, but Hunter traped me where I was. He put both hands on the table on either side of me. I couldn't go anywhere even if I wanted to. Hunter then grabbed my waist and I closed my eyes, because the sparks that were going between the both of us were too overwhelming. He suddenly pulled away and I could breathe and think again.
"Dinner is ready." Hunter told me as he sat down at the table and started to eat. I took deep breathes in before sitting and eating as well. My whole body was shaking and I avoided looking at Hunter the entire time, until we were both done eating.
After we were done cleaning up the kitchen, I tried to leave and go back upstairs, but Hunter stopped me.
"Are you going to tell me what happened earlier at the mall?"
"Nothing happened." I lied and started to walk away, but Hunter grabbed my hand to stop me. The sparks flew between the both of us, keeping me frozen in place. Hunter pulled me into his chest. He bent down towards me until his lips were on mine. At first the kiss started off slow and awkward until I got the hang of it. Hunter placed his left hand on my back and pulled me in closer as he deepened the kiss. I wrapped my hands around his neck as he picked me up and laid me on the couch. He got on top of me as he moved my legs apart so he could lay in between them. We never once broke the kiss until he pulled away to look at me.
I pulled in a sharp breath and screamed as I looked back at him. I kicked him in the balls. He slid off of me and bent down on the floor as he cupped himself as he was in pain. I quickly ran passed him, went upstairs and locked myself in the bedroom. His eyes were red again.
Moments later I heard Hunter try to open the door before he knocked, when he realised the door was locked. "Scarlet open the door, please."
"Not until you tell me what you are."
"If I tell you, you won't want me around you anymore."
"I'm not opening the door until you tell me." I heard Hunter sigh and I could imagine him brushing his hair back with his fingers, like he always does when he gets frusterated.
"I rather tell you in person."
"No tell me now."
"You won't believe me even if I told you Scarlet. Please just open the door."
"No."
"I'm a vampire." Hunter said and I just stood there by the door shell shocked. I was in between denial, fear, and anger. I wasn't sure if I believed it, but if he was lying to me I'm going to be mad. I opened the door then and when I looked at him, he looked sad.
"Show me." Was all I said. Hunter looked shocked at first but then he understood why I asked. Hunter sighed and opened his mouth. I saw two sharp canines and I freaked out again. I slamed the door shut and locked it again.
"You said you would open the door if I told you. So I told you, now open the door."
"No. I need, I need time. Okay?"
"Okay." I heard Hunter go downstairs and out of the door. He's right, I have been too sheltered when I lived at the palace. Now I'm out in a huge world where vampires existed. Something you thought only existed in movies actually exists. I was frighten when I saw his eyes turn red, I was more frighten when I saw his fangs, but my heart still beats when I'm around him. I still feel my stomach twist when ever he looks at me and my heart broke when I saw how sad he was. I sighed and fell on the bed on my back. I have fallen for a vampire. I said out loud to myself.
I stayed up all night waiting for him to come home, but he never did. So when it came to morning time, I got up and took a shower. When I got out and got dressed, I went downstairs and cooked myself breakfast. Then I cleaned up the whole house top and bottom. After that I watched some t.v. anything to get my mind off of him. But by nightfall though I was totally freaking out. I was pacing back and forth in the living room biting my nails.
I want to go out and look for him but I know if I do, something bad might happen to me. Screw it. No longer thinking about it, I grabbed His hoody and walked out of the front door. I walked through the woods Not really knowing where to go to find him, but I had to try.
Hunter!" I yelled in a whisper. Oh yea Scarlet he will totally hear you calling him. My brain scolded me. I rolled my eyes, I guess if I'm going to do this I might as well go out with a bang.
"Hunter!!!" I yelled out loud this time, loud enough for him or anyone to hear me. Don't get me wrong I am terrified as hell right now, but I am more worried about Hunter more than my own life. I walked further into the woods yelling out his name but there was still no sign of him. I sighed out loud. I wanted to cry but I wanted to be strong for him too.
After an hour passed and still no sign of him I started thinking about his actual house. The one he brought me to when we first met. Without giving it much thought I started to walk in the direction we came from his house and I started to retrack my steps slowly. As I kept walking further and further into the woods it became more clearly where his house was until I was in front of his door. I rang the door bell and waited.
A guy who was 5'11 with grayish silver hair and blue eyes, answered the door. He just looked at me for a minute.
"Um hi, is Hunter here?"
"Who's asking?" Shit I didn't think this far. I said to myself.
"Um...tell him Scar is looking for him." Hopefully Hunter will know what this man means once he heard the name Scar.
"Why don't you come inside while I get Mr. Hunter for you." what's up with the formalities. I was hestitant at first but eventually I walked inside the house. When I walked in I looked around looking amazed. This house is as big as my palace. This was amazing.
"Why don't you sit here and I'll be back in a moment." The man said while he led me to what seemed to be a dinning room. I sat down at the dinning table and waited. A few minutes later of waiting a few other people came into the room, male's and female's. All looked perfect, perfect skin, perfect hair. More people kept coming all leaning against the wall and looking at me, but Hunter was no where in sight. I started to get a bad feeling about all of this. Damn what did I get myself into. Just then the guy who opened the door earlier came into the room.
"Where's Hunter?" I asked him trying to seem bold and strong when in reality I was a scared kitten with its tail between its legs.
"Oh Hunter? I don't know. He's been gone for a few days now." The man said. I looked at him and everyone else as each of their eyes turned red. Shit shit shit I'm in trouble. Like some deep shit trouble. I said to myself. My heart started to beat rapidly. I stood up then to leave but one vampire came into my face inhumanly fast. He grabbed me by my hoody, and he brought his face closer towards me and started to smell my neck. How creepy. I started to kick and punch at him, but he just smiled at me.
"What a feisty human you are. I like that."
"Stop playing with your food Sedrick." another vampire said. I don't think I have been this frighten in my life before, but right now I'm terrified. I wished Hunter was here. Ugh I sound so weak. I should be able to fight on my own. Right then I got really mad at myself for being weak. I gave the man who was holding me up by my hoody a piercing look, and he immediately dropped me.
Hmm that was weird. After I recovered from falling on my ass I started to run. I was suddenly off of the floor and flying in the air. My body hit the wall right after. As I was trying to get up, a blonde female vampire came towards me. She bent down and smiled.
"So this is Hunters pet, who he denied me for." The blonde vamp said with a sneer. She bent down towards my neck, but before she could bite me and possibly kill me, she was flying through the air. In front of me stood Hunter. He turned around towards me and if looks could kill well then I'll be dead right now.
"What the hell are you here for?!" He asked yelling at me. At first I shrank back from him, but then I stopped and stood my ground. I got up from the floor and came face to face with him. How dare he yell at me. He's the one who didn't come home.
"Who is the one who didn't come home last night or today? I stood up all night and day waiting for you. So don't yell at me! I came here looking for you, because I was worried!" I told him yelling back. My anger got the best of me, but at least I stood my ground. His eyes soften a little.
"I thought you wouldn't want me around anymore, you know after I told you what I was."
"All the times I practically begged you to leave and all the times you told me No and followed me anyways. You really gave up and left just because I didn't take the news that well?" Hunter rubbed the back of his head nervously, avoiding eye contact with me. I grew angry again and I rolled my eyes. I walked closer to him and lifted his head up with my finger so he could look at me.
"I don't know why and I don't know how, but when I'm around you I'm the happiest. When you touch me, sparks go off inside of me. And when you look at me I get nervous. Yea I freaked out for a moment, but I don't care what you are anymore, because somewhere deep inside of me, I love you. I don't understand it yet. But I rather have you by my side then not." I said while a few tears fell from my eyes. Me and Hunter forgot where we were though.
"Awe how touching." The blonde vamp said while clapping her hands. Before either of us could do anything one vampire came and held Hunter back, while the blonde vamp held me in the air by my neck. I tried to fight her as she came closer to my neck. Great, I'm going to die after I just confessed to Hunter. I told myself. I felt her teeth on my neck. I felt her break my flesh, but before she could taste my blood she was being yanked off of me. I fell to the floor for the second time. I held my throat as I watched Hunter go head to head with blondie.
"Hey, isn't she the princess?" Someone said. I instantly touched my head to find that my hood fell off, probably when I fell. Crap.
"Now that you mentioned it, I think it is."
Another person said. I put my hood back over my hair, not that it really matters anymore. The whole vamp community just found out I'm the princess.
"Um Hunter I think its time to go." I say, but he's already ahead of me. He swoops me up in his arms one moment then we are running through the woods in inhuman speed the next. I hold on tightly to Hunter until we reached the house. He placed me back on the ground and opened the door. He rushed me inside and locked the door. Before anything else he turned around towards me. He grabbed me and pulled me into a heated kiss, then he hugged me tightly.
"I love you too and I promise I'll explain everything later." He said while kissing me again.
