—It's getting dark. —The girl looked worried —What happened to my aunt?
—Don't worry. —I said, calming her concern.—Hey... I know it's none of my business what happened earlier, but... Are you dating a college boy?To tell her yes would be something stupid and risky since she could tell others and if someone asked him,... The only one who would be ridiculed would be me so I told her no, we only had some problems because he was making fun of me, she smiled and said she understood very well that feeling of being used only for the benefit of others, her sadness catches my attention.—But there is something strange about them, they are... kind of pale... besides that boy you called Dalton... How could he suspend you from the ground like that?Now the one who was starting to worry was me as this girl was asking too many questions. 《I can't believe he's Dalton such a jerk to expose himself like that in front of her》.—He's a boy, there's nothing weird about that, he's strong, if he wasn't... he wouldn't be on the soccer team.—How silly. —She laughs to herself —I'm sorry it's just... I got really scared when I saw him attack you like that, I could even swear his eyes changed to red.I laugh nervously —That's impossible, not even if we lived in a fantasy where things like... witches, werewolves... or vampires exist.—Yes... you're right.Just when I was about to say something someone knocked on the door, I thought for a moment it was dad but no, it was another officer who surely works with dad. I ran to where my father was, when I saw that he had a bandage on his head I was scared to hug him.—Calm down, daughter. —You don't want to kill me with so much love, do you?—When they told me what happened... I felt like I was dying... Dad, haven't I told you a thousand times to drive carefully?—I'm fine. —He hugs me and kisses my forehead. —Relax, it was just a few stitches in my head.He said he didn't know how that happened, for a moment he stopped looking ahead and when he saw the car coming in the opposite direction he tried to avoid it but it hit a tree causing it to overturn, a woman was driving the other car but she suffered a fracture in her foot and neck.—We investigated the woman. Her name is Ana Lucía Hidalgo.—What? —I had completely forgotten that the girl was here, and by the way, I still don't know her name. —It's my aunt. Where is she, I have to see her.She left immediately when she knew where her aunt was, I stepped aside when the nurses were checking my father, seeing him with those scratches on his face my heart couldn't even think about what I would have done if the accident would have happened.—What a surprise," Dad said remembering the girl, "Who knew that girl was his niece.I felt bad for her so I told Dad I would go see her, he agreed. I hear some sobbing as a woman speaks sweetly while telling her not to cry that everything is okay but the girl is still crying.—You are the only family I have left, don't abandon me aunt... please.—We will always be together. I promised, remember? Besides, you are my spoiled niece, the only thing I have of my brother's, how could I leave you alone?His crying was of fear and anguish, I don't know what has happened to make him act like that, but I'm sure he has suffered more than me, besides, what about his parents, why does he live with his aunt? The only thing I can think of is that they are dead since her aunt said that was the only thing she had of her brother.I interrupt with a throat clearing when the girl sees me, she turns her back to me again and wipes her tears, her aunt on the other hand sees me with curiosity and a natural smile expecting me to introduce myself but I waited for her niece to do so—And you are?—I'm Serena. Your niece and I met today in high school.—That's excellent, it's great that you have friends Madison. It seems that already in one day and you get along very well. —Her niece smiles nervously at her. —Your parents must be worried because you escorted my niece all the way here.—Well I... I wouldn't say that exactly.I was about to explain what was going on but an officer came by to tell me that Dad was waiting for me to go home and then tells Madison's aunt that she'll be asked a few questions before he leaves.—I hope your father recovers.Aunt Madison looks at us in confusion.—See you in class.As I left, I clearly heard her ask her who we were talking about so I stopped to listen, she explains what happened and that she had crashed into my dad, I hear a "Not there" from her but I couldn't stay any longer as dad was coming to get me.When I got home, I helped daddy to his room, I watched him while he is getting settled and I thank heaven that he is by my side, now I feel like Madison, to think that I could have lost him, my world is falling apart, he is the only family I have and he is the best father in the world.—Don't keep thinking daughter. —I blinked before looking at daddy —I'll be fine. They gave me a week off because of the accident.—It's good for you to rest. If you need anything...food or something to drink.....He kisses my forehead and tells me he just wants to sleep so I left him in his room just so he could rest, I for my part went to my room, I thought I would find Antton sitting on the edge of my bed but I didn't, not this time. Looking out my window, I only saw that his mother was outside talking on the phone.Today, I would have to take the bus as dad couldn't come to drop me off at high school, a car came out, dalton was driving it, another one came out and this time I saw it was him, Antton. I pretended I had seen him, but while I was waiting outside my house for the bus, he stopped in front of me just as my ride was coming.—Hey, don't wait for me!I ran to catch the bus but he left thanks to the car that made the driver believe I would be driving away, all I could do is, watch the bus leave and drive away, as I turned on my heels, I saw him outside his car, sitting in the front as if he was enjoying what just happened to me missing the bus.—Are you happy?—I'd be lying if I said no.I inhale deeply to control myself and not explode with anger.I started walking home because it was impossible to get to the high school on foot. "I hate you you sexy fucking vampire!" Now I just have to find some excuse for dad not to believe me and... the only thing I can think of is that he threw me off the bus. "Is this payback for yesterday?—Where are you going? —I close my eyes in shock when I see him in front of me. Yes, I still can't get used to this". —Come on, I'll take you to school, girl.Let's go, I'll take you to school." —Stop calling me girl, there's not much difference in age between us. —I spat in annoyance.He takes me by the arm and this time he had a very, very somber expression that made me shudder.—Get in, in the car. —when his hand slides up my arm, shoulder until it reaches the back of my neck, my body trembled when I felt him touch that spot where he always leaves kisses. —Get in the car.I was just looking for an answer to this damn manipulation, how is it that he gets me to obey his orders just by touching me, when
I can't believe he was such a coward to take off and leave me lying in the middle of the forest, I had to walk to school, luckily it wasn't that far and I got there soon, but the bad thing is that I was grounded after school since I missed the first class, they wouldn't call my dad luckily but I would have to stay after my class schedule.—Hello Serena. —Madison was coming towards me. "Are you okay, do you look... upset? Are you upset with me because of your father? I swear...—Calm down. —I said, remembering the beast that left me in the middle of the forest, "I'm just upset because I got grounded and I have to stay after school.—I mean, I was punished too, I didn't want to leave my aunt alone and I stayed a little bit longer with her.Oliver's group was coming this way and when they passed by our side they hit our shoulder on purpose while they were walking, the girls that accompanied him made fun of Madi by making him look like a pig, for them it was funny but for her it is someth
—If you think you intimidate me... you do not. Besides, what are you doing here, because you never think you'll feed on me after what you did to me by leaving me abandoned in the forest.—Are you still mad about that? —The tone he uses seems to be something insignificant for him and it pisses me off —Come on... don't make so much drama if you were already five ten minutes away from the high school on foot.That doesn't justify anything that I did. Anything could have happened to me like another vampire attacking me and killing me by leaving me without a drop of blood, just thinking that could have happened to me pissed me off and I told him I hope he rots in it.—Don't you want to come with me?I let out an angry shriek because he always tries to wake me up.—Listen to me.I hear dad's voice calling me, I turn on my heels and keep silent again to find out if it wasn't my imagination, I heard him calling me again so I turned to tell Antton to leave but he wasn't there anymore, he left.
Madi says that in the book it said that they are treacherous beings that have no soul and much less heart, according to mythology they are children of the devil, but other research says that they are infernal beings that escaped from the depths of hell for unknown purposes. They are such cruel beings with a lethal beauty, perfect for foolish humans who are driven by their carnal desires, they don't care about anyone since they are incapable of love.That was like a slap in the face for me since for some stupid reason, I feel an attraction for Antton that takes my breath away every time I have him near me, I feel like if he moves away from me it's like he's taking my soul away—What if... someone falls in love with one of them?Madi looks at me questioning my question.—You die, because they do not love, they are villains who do not care about the feelings of a human, they only enjoy our pain when they walk away and abandon the one they used as a blood bank, and that's not all, almost
My mind keeps repeating Dalton's crude words in my head, I did nothing but remember them so I remembered his image in my head, the one he showed me of that girl that there was nothing left of her that they could recognize her, "surely her parents went crazy with grief for how their daughter was left"."You are so foolish and naive that you fell in love with your tormentor. He is not who you see from your window when you spy on him. He is a sadistic killer who takes girls, makes them his slaves and gives them such a torturous death that even though... they beg for their dead, he dismembers them alive.My heart stops when I hear that.""Loving him...will lead to your death, human.They torment me so much that I did nothing but cry scared because I would probably end up like that girl, "no, I don't want to end up like that".—Daughter, are you going to have breakfast or...? —I wipe my tears quickly when I see daddy at the door —Are you ok?—Yes, yes. —I get up from my place like a spring
I flinch startled by his words but he starts laughing as he throws himself on my bed, pissed off I locked myself in the bathroom because I don't know what the hell just happened why is he laughing, is he making fun of me?I grabbed one of my robes then went out and couldn't find him anywhere, as I peeked out the window I could see he was arguing with his mother again, he remains serious and his mother shows a fury making me scared when I saw he raised his hand against her ready to hit her, "He's going to hit her".... my heart went crazy not believing he was able to do it, my heart flips when I turn to where I was, he stares at me, his eyes were as red as blood and then... he disappeared, his mother fixed her sight to where I was and in her eyes I could see a deep sadness.I slammed the window shut, my uncontrolled nerves made me think about what Dalton said about his brother, he was about to hit his mother, if he is capable of doing that with her, "He could kill me if I piss him off".
My body doesn't react, I was immobile because of the blow I received, I could swear I broke my back but, this pain doesn't compare to what Serena must be going through, I could only see how the vampire, observes her without any expression, she laughs to later become unconscious. My tears came out uncontrollably as I blame myself for bringing her to this situation.—Serena..." my whisper was almost impossible to hear. —Serena...The only friend I had ever made is now hurt because of me, I will never forgive myself. Antton caressed her cheek, he tilts a smile and puts it gently on the floor, my lips tremble because he's surely going to kill me for this, in his eyes I could see the desire for blood, a look that pierced every part of your body because of how sinister it is when you look into his eyes.—I can't believe how stupid they both are for going into the woods.Something fell next to me, I move my head with difficulty to see Dalton's somber face, he squats down and looks me in the
It's been more than a week since I left the hospital, but also... it's been more than a week since I haven't heard from him again, Antton has been hiding from me, I've been looking for him because he didn't give me an answer when I asked him if he was hiding something from meHe just turned his back on me and disappeared before I could speak, I haven't heard from him since then, I know there is something about all this, it's something that keeps pricking me deep inside because if it wouldn't mean anything to him, he wouldn't have saved me from those wolves, "oh god, it's unbelievable that I'm involved in all this" even before I could say that this would be stupid, but now... everything has changedMy heart suffers in silence because I feel he is avoiding me, I can't even see him in his room anymore from my window, it's like he has gone away and left his family behind, although sometimes I think they are just hiding him from me, but I discarded that when I saw his mother's concern in h
