Chapter 18
The police offered us protective custody but patch and I said we didn’t want it. They also said it would take at least a week to clear the crime scene; I was upset but glad that I could stay in patch’s protection. The next job was to tell my mum and dad, so patch and I drove over to the small beach house. I knocked on the door and waited for them to answer… they didn’t. Patch found the spare key and opened the door, but the house was empty. On the table was a note… Kiss me or they die. “Patch?” I squeaked, he walked around the corner. “There’s a note, it’s him. It wasn’t there when we walked in” “Oh god” Patch whispered. I walked all around the house. Bedroom after bedroom until I found what should have been my parents’ room. Patch hadn’t followed me. Tony lay on the bed. “I was wondering when you would show up” Tony smiled though his words. “What have you done with them?” Ok so… all I wanted was my parents. “They are at the beach, don’t worry they are fine” Thank god. “Cassandra” Patch shouted, while running up the stairs. The bedroom door slammed. I tried the handle… locked. “Patch” I shouted, while banging on the door. “Cassandra” Patch shouted through the door. “Cassandra” Tony whispered, I could feel his breath on my neck, so I turned around to find him right behind me. His smile was seductive and I wanted to kiss him but my hate for him ruled my thoughts. “Cassandra. I know he’s in there. Open the door” Patch yelled. He thought I had locked the door? Seriously? “I can’t he’s locked it. Patch help me” Tony grabbed my waist and put his lips inches away from mine. One of his hands held my waist and the other held my wrist secure. “Kiss me and be mine” He whispered. I spat in his face. Haha. “No” I yelled and he whipped his face. His lips touched mine and I stomped on his foot. “Then scream for me” Tony bit my neck. What? He just bit my neck! Blood trickled down my neck and I screamed. I could feel a surge of pain racing down my spine and controlling every inch of my body. “Cassandra” Patch screamed while booting the door. Tony laid me on the bed while I shook with pain, horror and shock. “Open the door Tony” “Sure” The door opened and Patch ran to me. He cradled me in his arms. “What the hell did you do to her?” Tony laughed. “What am I Patch? What do I do?” “You bit her?” Patch continued to yell at Tony. Swearing, punching and throwing things were involved in this argument but I couldn’t hear most of it. “Patch?” I whimpered, I couldn’t see a thing everything was pitch black. “It’s ok darling. I’m here” someone said. Was this tony? “Who is it?” “It’s patch. Tony is dead” Patch came behind me and wrapped his arms me. He kissed my head and I swear, I could feel his tears drop on my head. “Patch. I can’t see anything” I moaned “I know” All of a sudden I could see again but it wasn’t just normal it was like… like… a bit like seeing things in HD. I felt stronger and powerful, but not like a vampire… “I can see” “I know. Oh my god… Cassandra you’re beautiful. I mean you were before but you look amazing now” I got up from the bed and looked in the mirror. My hair looked like it was on fire and my eyes looked like diamonds. Every facial feature was perfect. My skin glowed like the skin of an angel. Yesterday I wouldn’t have called myself attractive or beautiful but today I looked like an angel. “You have always looked like an angel to me” Patch whispered “And Tony is dead?” He nodded “So what am I going to do? I don’t have a clue what vampires do, apart from suck blood and bite people. I don’t know if I’m immortal. Will I go to hell now? Do I have to stay in the dark? What will happen between you and me? I mean I know you don’t want me now. I can tell” “Cassandra I have all your answers… Vampires kill. Yes, you are immortal. You won’t go to hell now. No, you don’t have to stay in the dark. And you and me will be together because I love you and I want you to be a werewolf” What? “I’m not a vampire?” I asked “No” Patch replied “How?” My face automatically lit up like a Christmas tree. I was a werewolf. “I changed you into a werewolf before you could become a vampire” I grabbed him so tight “Thank you” “You’re welcome but your kinda killing me here” I let go of Patch; I’d been too strong for him. “Sorry” I kissed him. “I love you patch” “I love you Cassandra” The end…
