Chapter 7
About an hour later I woke up on the sand. Damien had his arm around me, asleep. I giggled silently and turned over so I could watch him sleep. Damien and I had kissed and then lay down together talking, I must have fallen asleep. I heard him make a silent grown. Cute. I snuggled down into his chest and fell asleep again. It must have been 3.00am when Damien woke me up. I was in what must have been his car outside my summer house. He kissed me. “Come on, you have to wake up for a few minutes” He whispered. “Ok” I got out of the car and Damien put his arm around me. “Would you like me to take you upstairs?” I nodded. He picked me up and climbed to the top of the tree. “Oh my gosh. Seriously” I said, high pitch voice. “Seriously” He jumped into my bedroom and put me into my bed. I didn’t want him to leave. “Will you stay with me?” I asked and he smiled. “Yes” He pulled off his shoes and got into my bed. I snuggled into his chest again. He was warm and comfy. “I love you” I whispered. What did I say? No way in hell. Too tired to talk now, it will hold until morning. “I love you too” He replied, I smiled and fell asleep, cradled in his arms. The next morning I woke up, Damien was watching me sleep. His arms were still wrapped around me and I still had my head on his chest. I could defiantly get used to this. “You stayed?” I asked, smiling. “I couldn’t leave, even if you hadn’t asked me to stay” He replied, sweetly. “Thanks” I kissed him “So are we like together now?” “Depends” That’s not always good. “On what?” I asked. “Would you like to go out with me?” He asked. His voice was soft. That’s when my emotions just went crazy. I smiled, laughed and then finally cried tears of happiness. “Yes” I whispered. “Then the answer is yes we are together now” This is the answer I wanted. “Good” Cheeks=blushing. Smile=my jaw is not aching, but I’m still smiling. Eyes=puffy from crying tears of joy. “Christine? You said something last night” Oh god, I know what he meant. “Yes” I replied, embarrassed didn’t even begin to describe what I was feeling right now. “Would you say it again?” Damien asked. Here it goes, deep breath… One… Two… Three… “I love you” Those three little words made Damien smile so much, I wondered if he was going to stop breathing. “I love you too” Oh. My. Gosh. He just-. Face=SMILE “I love it when you blush” “Thanks” “You’re welcome” After that I closed my eyes and listened to Damien breathe. I smiled. Then I realised that Jessica would be awake soon. We had planned to go to the beach today. She wanted a tan so she could impress her crush, Sam Colgate. Everyone used to tease him at school, his mother and father were dentists and he had the name of a toothpaste brand. But now they all adored him, he had an 8-pack, a handsome face and he could play water polo. Jessica didn’t care about any of that though; she had loved Sam since year 2, when he was chubby and cute. “What time is it?” I asked. “10.00am” Damien replied after looking at his watch. He put his arms back around me and cuddled me. “Oh. Would you like to meet Jessica?” I asked. “If you want me to” Yes please. Saves me explaining to Jessica. “I do” “Then yes. But can we stay here for an hour?” “Yeah. Jessica doesn’t get up until at least 12:00” Damien laughed. “Good” I kissed Damien on the lips and put my hands on his chest. My bedroom door opened and Jessica walked in. “Christine are you awake? I-oh” Jessica said, staring at me and Damien. He removed his lips from mine and I looked down. This was awkward. “I’ll just go” “Jessica wait. This is Damien” I said, getting up from the bed. “Hiya” Damien said. Jessica was going to kill me now, she hated these situations. “Hey” Jessica replied “Ok… so I’ll leave you two to emmm… Carry on. I’ll see you at breakfast yeah?” “Sure” Jessica walked out of the door smiling. Damien started laughing and I joined him. “Come here” He held out his arms and I climbed back onto the bed. He wrapped them around me and I lay my head on his chest again. “Well that was a little awkward” I laughed and buried my face. “Cute. But my lips want to meet yours” “I think my lips want to meet yours too” I pressed my lips onto his and they danced peacefully until he stopped. “What’s up?” Damien just stared behind me, I looked round. There was a guy. What? There was a guy. I freaked out and sat up staring. “Wow it’s not a staring competition. Hey bro” The guy said. Bro? “Who the hell are you?” I asked “Your girlfriend is polite. I’m his brother, love” Love? What the hell? “What are you doing here?” Damien growled. “You left. I’m your brother, I followed” “Why?” “Her” He pointed at me. Damien’s face just dropped. “Not another one” “What?” I squeaked. “You. I want you. Get up and come” Damien’s brother shouted while grabbing my arm “What? No” I shook his arm off me. “Get away from her” Damien shouted and pulled me closer into his chest. “Oi. Bro. she’s mine. Kay?” Did this guy not know how to speak English? Kay? Bro? He grabbed my arm and pulled me off the bed. I screamed but he covered my mouth. Damien was gone. Great, I’m going to die. Suddenly Damien’s brother removed his hand from my mouth and dropped to the floor. I shuffled away and saw a bite mark in his neck. My eyes widened with shock and horror as I realised what had happened. Damien had bitten him. I freaked out and ran out of the room… I found myself in the tree house about 10 minutes later. It was large and even had a bed. Where to go? I decided to sit in the small corner of the room, staring at the floor. That’s when Damien came in. I just carried on staring. “I’m sorry you had to see that” He whispered. “What do they want with me?” I squeaked, trying not to cry. “I don’t know” Ughhh… don’t lie. “I know you know. Tell me or leave” If he loved me he would tell me, wouldn’t he? “I- They want to kill you” Of course… “I got that bit but why?” I was annoyed and he knew it. “Your part angel” Ultimate shock. “This just gets better and better doesn’t it” I said sarcastically while I laughed. “Yeah” He laughed. “Explain please” I hugged my knees. “Ok. So your part angel and me being vampire, I’m a demon” Damien explained. So… I should hate Damien and he should hate me. “So… Why do you want to protect me?” I asked. “I want you” Huh? That’s not an answer. Not really. “Why? There has to be a reason why you would pick someone you should hate” There has to be. “There is. Up until I saved you in the forest I was going to kill you. I knew exactly what I was going to do. I killed that man because I wanted to be the one to kill you” interesting. What? Am I seriously that strange? “What made you change your mind?” “I looked into your soul. I’ve never been able to do it but with you it just hit me” Wow. He really does love me. “What was it like?” Of course I wanted to know what my soul was like. “Amazing. Your soul is so clean and pure” I smiled “Thank you” Smile time. “You’re welcome. It was a pleasure” Damien replied. I laughed. “So what were you going to do to me?” Why did I want to know? “I don’t understand” “When you were going to kill me, how were you going to do it?” He sighed. “I don’t want to say” “Please” “I don’t think you’d like to hear” Maybe that was true. Maybe it wasn’t. I wanted to know anyway. “I do. It’s strange but I find it interesting” “I don’t think you should” Damien replied. “Please” “You really want to know that badly?” “Yeah” I said. “Forgive me. I was going to take you away, somewhere where nobody could hear you scream. Then I was going to cut you until the floor was covered in blood. But obviously that wouldn’t kill you so I was going to bite you until you died of excruciating pain” Damien said evilly. I was shocked. “Oh” “All you can say is oh? I’m a monster for even thinking that” He stood up and walked away from me. “You’re not a monster” I said, speaking up. “I think your soul is a little too pure. You’re saying that demons aren’t monsters” He laughed. “I’m not. I’m saying that you’re not a monster” He smiled, walked over to me and kissed me. “I love you” “I love you.” He kissed me again. “What did you do with your brother?” Damien went blank and then we heard a scream. Jessica. “I didn’t” “Jessica” Damien picked me up and jumped from the tree house to the ground. We ran inside the house and upstairs to find Jessica. She was screaming and covering her eyes. Damien’s brother was dead on the floor. I grabbed Jessica and turned her around. “Calm down” “Are you crazy? There is a dead body in your room. Don’t tell me to calm down” She screamed “Maybe I can help” Damien said. He grabbed onto Jessica’s shoulders. “Jessica, calm down ok. Just breathe in and out” She instantly calmed down. “Wow” I said “What did you do Damien?” Jessica spat but she was calm “It has to be you. Christine would never do anything like that” “Yes. I did do this” He replied “Oh my god. Get away from me. Christine we need to get out of here” Jessica screamed, she was freaking out again. Damien let go of her shoulders “That mood controlling thing doesn’t last for very long” I said to Damien “What the hell?” “Jessica, calm down” Damien said, she didn’t. “She’s too scared” “We need a way to calm her down” I said “She’s only human, there isn’t any other way really” “We are all human” I laughed “What is with you guys? Are you like partners in crime now? I’m calling the police” She turned but I grabbed her shoulder. “Can’t you like put her to sleep or something?” I asked Damien, he thought about it. “I can’t but you can” Seriously? That’s awesome. “Me?” I asked “Yeah” Since when? “How?” “Tell her to sleep” I nodded “Jessica sleep” She fell to the floor “Wow” “Nice” Cool I’m magic “Will she remember anything?” Please say no. “No, she will think this is a dream” Thank god. “Great. So what are we going to do with him?” I asked “Eric? He’s not dead” His name was Eric? Awesome. But wait, he’s not dead??!!! “What? I thought you-” He cut me off “No” “Good. So he’s just unconscious?” How? You
