Alexa's POV The job was relatively not hard. Although I wouldn't call it easy, it was not tasking too. It was made better by the occasional compliments that Allison showered on me as she taught me how she wanted things to be done.The only downside was the boredom. At first I had not felt it, because I had a lot of customers to attend to and could barely sit down, but when the stream reduced to a trickle, I felt it.That was why when I saw Hayley burst through the doors with three other teenagers, I was relieved.I did not particularly like her or classify her as a friend yet, but she was growing on me fast." Oh thank goodness you are here, I'm running late for my appointment and traffic would be a nightmare very soon" Allison said as she tried to fix her earrings while holding on to her small purse. Hayley rolled her eyes as she came behind the counter, flashing me a small smile and taking a piece of cake." How could I not? You threatened to cut my allowance in half" Hayley said
Alexa's POV The days were mostly the same. Boring until Hayley came along. I hated to admit it. I did not want to admit it, but she had become a principal aspect of making my everyday whole. As I sat down now on the bed, listening to her drool on and on about this girl who was trying to steal kris's ex-boyfriend from her, I came to the conclusion that she was a good person, just with the bad set of friends." And obviously kris told her how she feels about her hanging out with him but she did not listen. School was so crazy today , Kris declared war on her." Hayley said.I looked at her." So...stuffing her in a trash bin was the right way to go?" I asked.She had a bit of a conflict with herself for a while." Well she had it coming" she replied simply.A knock stopped me from uttering the next sentence that was about to leave my mouth.Allison popped her head in, as if she was shy to properly walk in." Um, hey ladies, don't want to be a bother but can you help me get groceries. W
CHAPTER 17 Alexa's POV I was such a sucker for touchy feelings. It all always just felt either unnecessary or too much. But for the sake of the spluttering mess that Hayley had become, I chose to keep my own dislikes away and not point out the fact that she was ruining my shirt with her runny make up." I don't get it. Why would she do something like that to me?" She asked, her nose buried on my flat chest." Because she is a bitch dear. Now I don't want to be that girl, but I told you so" I said.We were back in her room now. I had not bothered to pick up the groceries and had just walked straight in with Hayley basically leaning on me.Allison did not ask questions, she did not complain, she just collected the list and picked up her bag, patting me on the shoulder as I led Hayley into the room." I really liked hanging out with them." She said, she sniffed as she looked up at me." You know, when we were younger, I was so ugly. Kris did not even want to look at me. So now I put in
Alexa's POV The silent treatment was something I was fast beginning to understand the pain of. I have never been on the receiving end of this treatment but I sure have dished out a lot of it to different people.Hayley was good at the silent treatment, a pro at it in fact. As I sat on the dining table, watching her avoid eye contact with me, I just knew I had had enough of it.This would probably all go away if I say sorry. But it was a word I could not bring myself to say however how much I tried." Pass me the salt Hayley" I said, in a bid to start a conversation.She reached out to it, passing it to me while trying to refrain from looking at me.She was good.I stood up mechanically with her and we walked towards her room to sleep. The tension could be felt by everyone, gem included." Hayley..." I called out as I laid on the floor, staring at her ceiling." What is it?" She responded." Are you still mad at me?" I asked the obvious question." Well yes, yes I am." She said." Wel
Alexa's POV I took a step back warily, knowing my words probably provoked him. " Hi, we don't want any trouble, just give me my friend and get someone else in there. There are lots of idiots you would like in there" I said." What makes you think I would just let go of her?" He said, his voice sounded human enough, except for the slight snarl that seemed to escape his mouth with every word he said." Because I think you are a good vampire..." I said.I was grappling for words now. He was coming closer slowly, and I was running out of places to back into." You know of my kind human. Interesting. for your sake, I would make both your death and hers very quick, you would barely feel it" he said, the smile still on his lips." We would both prefer to be alive" I said, I was against a wall now, my hands beginning to sweat as he advanced." It would be quick" he said and with that, he pinned me against the wall, sinking his fangs into my neck.The scream seemed to be pressed into my brai
Alexa's POV When I opened my eyes, I was in a room. A room different from the one I fell asleep in. I looked around unsurely, touching a few paintings and trying to find a soul.Voices were coming from just beyond the door outside. There were approaching the room faster now. The door burst open and a strange man entered, carrying someone in his arms.He looked devastatingly handsome but that was a trait I was used to seeing in most men. He also felt oddly familiar. Like I had met him somewhere.He dropped the body on the bed, his arms shaking." Where is the pack doctor? Don't you see she is bleeding out?"he growled pointing to the body and screaming out the door.Two women and a man entered inside. " Alpha you really have to calm down She would be fine" the old man said.For some reasons, I was beginning to freak out." Where am I and who are you people?" I asked firmly.The man looked in my direction. I felt my heart clench. No, he was definitely more handsome than any guy I hav
Alexa's POV When things went too perfect, I always knew there would be a twist soon. Most of the time it was always a bad twist. Sometimes there is a good twist here and there but nothing spectacular.It was another normal day at the cafe shop. I was bored out of my mind and just wanted to curl into a ball and die. But of course death was a luxury I could not get.Hayley and gem had gone with their dad to visit a niece or something, I was not really paying attention to what she was saying.I was dozing off slowly already, my head banging the counter a few times when the door opened.Their presence was announced with the looming shadow their huge figures casted on me. I raised my head up groggily, hoping they already decided on their orders so I could go back to drifting in and out of sleep.They were huge. The one on the left hand had a long tattoo that reassembled a dragon, running into his shirt.I looked at their faces one after the other, my eyes slowly leading to the one in the
CHAPTER 1Alexa's POV The sky was bright red, I could feel myself falling, from the bright red sky, the air leaving my lungs. I tried to grasp anything, anything that could break my fall and not send me spiraling to my room down below. I closed my eyes as my body neared the ground, bracing for impact.I landed with a soft thud. Possibly the first thing that shocked me. I had landed on something, a mould of something...or more appropriately, someone. The dark red blood that spilled out of the person's chest made me gasp as I tried to get up, falling on my hands again. I was struggling to get my breathing under control, afraid that I might die next to a dead person.As I backed away, my hand hit another mould, turning around, I saw another body, lying just a few feet from the first. The scream that I wanted to so desperately release did not come out. I was screaming in my mind, my mouth was wide open, but not a single sound came out.I got up swiftly, and that was when it hit me. I la
