Chapter 10

Rosabella 's P.o.v

My life flashes before my eyes. The band, the shows, my time with Josh and my time with the vampire Finn. I wasn't sure if Josh had it in him to kill. The good boy dentist? The boy from the perfect family with the perfect life. Maybe everyone has a breaking point. Maybe the most upstanding citizen can do the most horrendous things.

My hands beat him in the back. Time was coming to an end. I can feel my life slipping as he strangles it out of me. His hands tighten around my neck, and my world becomes dizzy. I see double of everything in the room.

Then I hear a hiss, and I can make a shadow of a man. I knew that wasn't an ordinary man. I lay on the bed out of breath. I hear Josh's scream and cries. I knew if I don't get up, Finn will kill Josh. It was a terrifying thought. Not that I was worried about Josh at this point, but worried about the clan. What would the police think of Josh's body after Finn was down with him, his blood all gone?

I manage to climb out of bed. My feet are wobbly and my legs hardly move. My head hurt and my eyes felt blood shout. "Stop." I yell as loud as I cloud. I cough from the agonizing pain in my throat.

My eyes see that Finn is a full vampire. He shows his fangs, his eyes are black, and he is growling. He crocks his head to the side, and he grabs Josh by the neck. Josh coughs and struggles to break free.

"How do you like it now, you piece of shit?" laughs Finn with an evil smirk on his face. I see black veins appear on his face. They run all over it. He looks very creepy. It startles me at first, but I know Finn would never hurt me. I reach and grab his arm. He looks at me, and his eyes change from black to golden brown.

"It's okay, I am fine Finn, leave Josh be."

He looks at Josh and hisses. And Josh lets out a cry.

"Please Finn."

He drops his hold on him and kicks him in the ribs. Josh moans, and I almost feel bad for him.

He takes my hand in his. In moments, we are gone far away from Josh. That makes me satisfied." You okay?" Finn asks me, rubbing my neck.

"Yes." I lie. I couldn't ignore the horrible pain in my neck.

"Your eyes, why were they black?' I have only seen his eyes red and brown. He looks sorrowful and then looks away. "I never wanted you to see me like that, a monster," he says quietly.

"A monster wouldn't defend a girl, you are my hero."

"Sometimes I feel like a scoundrel", he remarks.

"You're not."

He smiles and kisses me on the check. He is really sweet, vampire or not. Finn was growing in my heart. And fast.

"What made Josh snap?" he asks me.

" Fighting about our relationship. The party, the three sum and his family. We are simply not meant to be." I feel my eyes water. Maybe this is more painful for me than I thought. Maybe my brain is trying to protect my heart.

"Only Dominic has the power of healing, we need to get you back to him immediately," he tells me, scooping me up in his arms.

"We left your bike."

"I am not worried about it," he responds.

He runs so fast. Faster than the motorcycle. All the images before me all blend together like one. Everything spins, and I swear I'm becoming hypnotized. We were back to the clan in moments, and Finn ran straight into the living.

"What the hell," I hear Dominic say. My vision is still fuzzy. I'm not sure if it's because of the choking incident or because we were running at such a fast speed. I feel cold hands on my neck. It feels like laying in the snow creating a snow angel. I feel magical and simply at peace. I see light flashing all around me of bright color blue, it was beautiful.

Soon everything feels normal. Like the accident never happened. The pain in my neck is gone, and my vision is completely restored.

Finn sets me down to my feet. "That was amazing." I gave Dominic a hug, and his cold arms wrapped around me.

I hear my phone beep.

Are you showing up for band rehearsal? - Jeffrey

Yes- Rosabella

It's just in five minutes- Jeffrey

Oh shit. I forgot. I am always early.

"Finn, I need to get going. I am going to be late for band rehearsal."

He eyes me. I know after the Josh ordeal, he doesn't want me to leave.

"I can zip you there," he tells me.

I smile. "That will be great."

"Only if you let me come with you," he smirks.

I chuckle. "Only band members and bodyguards are allowed to be at band rehearsal."

"Then, I am now your bodyguard," he tells me.

"Okay," I smile, taking his hand.
