Chapter 3 Unknown Man

I wake up hearing two people shouting at each other. I'm back in the hospital with no memory of what happened. Suddenly in the blink of an eye, a man is yelling and screaming at me. "How in the world could you try and kill yourself Nev!!!!" Suddenly I connected the dots, this was the man who was there at the hospital when I was 9. "Who are you?!" I asked and he looked taken aback. He mumbled "Crap, I have been waiting all this time only to mess up so close!" He then told me "Look Nev… Please don't try to do this again. I'll be back in 5 years to get you away from everything and I'll tell you who I am then…" And just as fast as he came, he was gone.

I went back to the system as if nothing had happened except now I had to go to even more counselling. Which had only made me feel worse. After about 3 years, they convinced me the man I kept hearing and seeing was just in my head.

I'm almost 17 now and I finally had been in one place long enough to get a boyfriend. His name was Jake and he was 18. One day I brought him home. Right after we entered the door to my room, we started to kiss. He started moving his hands. I pushed him away and said "I'm not ready."

"It's ok, I'll be gentle," he said, not stopping. "Jake I said no" and after being ignored again I tried to push him off and suddenly the guy I saw all those years ago returned. He pinned Jake up against the wall with his hands around Jakes neck and yelled "SHE'S MINE!!! I've waited many years for her and you will not take her away right before I can!!!" Jake started gasping for air when I too started yelling. "PLEASE STOP!!! WHO ARE YOU!!!" Then he was suddenly in front of me. I just realized how tall he was. He had bright blue eyes and long red hair.

He took a deep sigh and snapped his fingers. Suddenly Jake was gone and it was just me and him. "My name is Val Anderson." he said. I responded "Like the famous architect?" He nodded in agreement. There is literally a millionaire in my room trying to kill my boyfriend and is now sitting in front of me. "WHY DO YOU KEEP APPEARING AND DISAPPEARING?! AnAND I'M NOT YOURS AND WHERE IS JAKE?!" I yelled, trying to get some answers. "Do you believe in vampires?!" He said, I'm assuming he was trying to change the subject. "DON'T CHANGE THE SUBJECT WITH A STUPID QUESTION!" I screamed when suddenly I felt like there was someone behind me.

There was another tall man behind me. "What the…" I said before I felt a knife grazing my skin and I heard Val shout. "WHAT DO YOU WANT BLAKE!" "Oh sweet Val, you know exactly what I want." replied Blake. Val shook his head no to whatever this other man wanted. I then felt the blade pierce my neck. I couldn't help but wince at the pain. Val tried to stay calm, but I saw him flinch. "You must not like your new toy Val" said Blake "I saw you hanging around her when she was little. I figured you'd come back eventually."

Blake then started to kiss my neck almost like he was testing the limits. I couldn't say or do anything. Val tried to act as he didn't care until I felt something smooth, but sharp almost pierce my neck. That's when Val lost it. "WHATEVER YOU WANT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HER!!!" Val screamed. I suddenly notice a set of fangs forming in Vals mouth. I started to feel my legs give out. They were actual vampires, no wonder Val asked that silly question. Blake removed the knife and licked all the blood off my neck. "No wonder you fancy this human. She tastes delicious." Val lost it and started to charge at Blake. He pushed me to the ground before accepting Vals challenge.
