Chapter Ten :S

Chapter Ten:
Spencer’s story

I opened my eyes to see the history teacher in front of me, his eyes narrowed like an irritated cat’s. I sat up as the teacher began rambling on about something. I think it was something about how I was sleeping in class. But I couldn’t tell because I was already hundreds of miles away. I stood up and walked out of the class room, ignoring the teacher and the fact that it was still an hour until the school day had ended. I ignored everything around me. The sneers of the students around me, the pleading of my one and only love. The only thing I saw leaving that class was my body colliding with another person. I ignored the person and continued walking blindly. I felt something grab me, then I saw my world disappear from my sight. I blinked and saw one of the kids that had hated me the most through out school standing over me, his hand gripping my shirt tightly. I stared up at him blankly as he cracked his neck. His crew of punk kids had always hated me. I never knew why. He shook me as my hearing returned to me.

“You bastard. Why’d you run into me, huh? Do you want to start something?” He asked. I shook my head.

“No. there’s nothing I want to start with you.” I stated. He shook me again.

“Then why’d you run into me, huh? Come on, lets go!” He shouted, taking off his jacket. Suddenly the teachers and students began spilling into the room and pulled both of us away from each other. I didn’t struggle but the other boy did. He snarled and hissed at me “Eight o’clock tonight. If you don’t come, I’ll find your girlfriend and kill her.”. After that, I pushed away from the teacher and fled the school. that’s when she came. She walked down and held my hand.

“Don’t go.” She said softly. I shook my head.

“I have to. He said he was going to kill you if I didn’t go.” I said calmly. She looked up at me and smiled.

“I don’t think they can find me. I think he was bluffing. They’ve threatened you before, right? And you’re still here. I’m still here. There’s no way they can kill us now.” She said calmly. I sighed.

“You’re not going to let me go, aren’t you?” I asked. She laughed and winked.

“How’d you guess?” She asked, teasing. I laughed and kissed her forehead.

“Fine. But if something does happen, you have to promise me that you’ll call right away. Got it?” I asked. She smiled and nodded.

“I got it. Love you, babe.” She said softly. I nodded and held her gently.

“I love you too.” I said softly. 


I awoke that night to the phone ringing. I walked over nervously and answered it.

“Hello?” I asked. There was sobbing. Her sobbing.

“Where are you?” I asked. She made a noise.

“Don’t come. Don’t come!“ She cried. There was a sharp noise then nothing. I heard panting, then the phone was picked up.

“Spencer. If you want your revenge, then come to the corner store. We are in the back.” The voice demanded. I heard a noise coming from her lips.

“Don’t come… please…” She moaned. I felt tears running down my cheeks as I heard them rabidly jump on her and kill her. I heard her pain. I felt it. I closed my eyes, but respected her dying wish. I didn’t go. The next day I went to school in all black. Everyone cast me strange looks as I walked past, but I ignored them all. They were all monsters now in my eyes. I sat through my classes, dumbfounded. She was really gone. For ever… As soon as that last bell rang, I left the room. I wandered down the street and decided to cut through the park. I felt my eyes beginning to water. I sat down at the fountain and wiped one of my eyes. A large boot suddenly blocked my vision. The punk kid from yesterday stared down at me, cracking his knuckles. He grinned, his teeth glistening in the sun.

“I’m going to enjoy this even more now. Now that your soul has been broken down, there’s nothing left for you to fight for. This will be fun.” He said. He gripped my neck tightly and threw me into the ground. I felt multiple bones cracking against the pavement and saw shards of it fly around me. Suddenly more of his friends appeared. The leader held his hand up

“He’s mine.” He snarled. He suddenly leapt on me, trying to stab me. I weakly pushed his hand away. He grinned and snapped my arm, then punched me in the stomach. I puked up blood. The leader grinned and tried to end my life again. I kicked him off of me and stood up. He snarled and was suddenly behind me.

“Give up” He hissed. I turned around, but he wasn’t there. I felt tears running down my face as I thought about how I couldn’t beat this… thing that had killed her. I felt my body being thrown again and felt it collide with a near-by tree. I slumped against it, my eyes flickering. I saw the light from the world draining out. The entire time I felt her name being formed on my lips. That was all I said. Just as the figure got close again, I saw him. Ryan. He stepped in and threw the leader away.. The other ones saw what was happening and lunged at him, but Ryan hissed and dodged each one of them. Realizing that he was more powerful, they all ran away. He stepped towards me.

“Spencer Smith. I’m going to give you a choice between life and death. What will it be?” He asked. I looked at him and mouthed the word “live.” He nodded and leaned in. I felt his teeth pierce my neck. I closed my eyes as I let the pain engulf me. I felt my body grow stronger. I opened my eyes suddenly and I was at his apartment. There were the three of them. Ryan, Brendon and John. John looked at me, irritated. I looked around.

“Dead?” I asked. Ryan shook his head.

“They’re still alive.” He said as if understanding what I meant from the one word I spoke. I suddenly fled the room. I didn’t want them to live. I wanted to pay the same way she did. I found him very quickly. He looked at me strangely.

“Shouldn’t you be in a cast or something?” He asked nervously. I snarled and barred my new fangs at him. His eyes widened as he turned to run, but I didn’t let him go any where. I leapt on him and snapped his arm. He began crying but I felt no sympathy for him. I stared at him, my eyes midnight black. His friends appeared, but quickly ran as they saw me tearing apart his limbs. He screamed in pain. I finally finished him off by stabbing him through the heart with a dull stick I had found. I knew how much pain he was in from the look on his face. But I didn’t bite him. I left him. I walked away. As I was about to leave, Ryan appeared before me. He shook his head.

“You can’t do that, you got it? Don’t do that ever again unless it’s against another vampire or against a werewolf.” He ordered. I nodded sullenly. He sighed and lead me back to the house.

I looked over at Taya as I finished my story. She looked at the floor sullenly. Suddenly she was at my side, holding me closely.

“It’s okay to let it go.” She said softly. I hugged her as well. I hadn’t felt the warmth of a human against my body in so long. I closed my eyes and relaxed. I knew everything from this point on was going to change.
