Chapter 21
• Hann •
”I have nothing to say to you.” I heard Cassia say to Haruna and anger rose inside of me. Her problem was with me not with my sister, why was she treating her like that? ‘Because she’s related to you.’ Abius stated, making me roll my eyes at him. He was right though. She was related to me but that still didn’t mean she was at fault.
“Runa?” I called, seeing her walk pass me and I instantly got up from my chair.
“Leave me alone, Hann.” She said sternly as she continued walking pass me and out of the cafeteria. I sighed, following after her and leaving Scarlet behind. I had to compel her to forget about what had happened. She wasn’t exactly my girlfriend, she was just here to help me release myself when ever I was horny.
“Runa, wait.” I called after her, but she continued to ignore me, so I called her again.
“No, don’t Runa me, you don’t get to Runa me after what you did. You ruined my friendship with Cassia.” She yelled, turning around and facing me. I could see the hurt in her eyes. I didn’t even know she was that serious about Cassia. Especially since It didn’t even look like Cassia felt the same way about her.
‘Who is she yelling at?’ I ignored Abius and sighed looking at my little sister. She was hurt because of me. Ever since we came to this damn school, she was always to herself. She never wanted to get close to anyone. I didn’t think she was close to Cassia either. Cassia was human, she wasn’t a good friend to my sister. She deserved better friends.
“Why are you so mad over that. She’s human, I did you a favor.” I told her and I watched as her face changed to an angry one.
“You did me a favor?” She asked, getting in my face. ‘I think you made someone very angry, be careful now.’ Abius laughed in my head, I ignored him and looked at Haruna. If looks could kill, I’d be dead right now.
“How the fuck did you do me a favor?” She questioned and I sighed. I knew she wouldn’t care if Cassia was human or not. She didn’t drink human blood so to her it meant nothing.
”She’s human, Haruna. We both know that was not going to last long.” I tried explaining it to her but she just glared at me before shaking her head and walking away.
“Unbelievable.” She mumbled under her breath. I closed my eyes inhaling deeply and breathing out slowly to calm myself a little bit. I turned back towards the cafeteria and sat down next to Scarlet.
”What’s up with you and Haruna?” Matt asked, drinking his bloody soup. Disgusting. Those shit were so gross.
“Don’t worry about it.” I told him, looking at where Cassia was. ‘Remind me again why we haven’t killed any of them yet?’ Abius asked, randomly. He was clearly agitated. He had been tucked away for to long and he was starting to get annoying with all this killing bullshit.
‘Because I’m not a murder.’ I answered him back, slightly annoyed. All he did was try to control me and kill people. Not once did he ever try to be nice. ‘You didn’t have a problem killing Cassia.’ I scoffed, my eyes still on her.
‘Good thing I didn’t kill her then.’ I told him. I felt Scarlet get closer to me and I looked down at her. I was no longer attracted to her. She was beautiful enough, but she wasn’t my type. I don’t even know why I’ve kept her by my side for this long. She was starting to annoy me.
“We haven’t been hanging out much. I miss you.” She said, laying her head on my shoulder. I moved her head from my shoulder and fully turned to look at her. I was no longer interested in her. My attention was now on someone else.
“You and I are over. You’re going to forget about ever dating me and you’re going to forget about sitting here with me.” I compelled her while her brother and Matt looked at me shocked. Scarlet nodded and got up, walking off somewhere. I didn’t really care. So I just ignored her and turned back to look at Cassia.
If I couldn’t kill or hurt her. I was going to make her mine. She was beautiful had she had an amazing body. She was definitely my type and I wanted her next. ‘Her? Really?’ Abius asked but I ignored him as I watched her get up and walked out of the cafeteria with the witch. How the hell was I going to make her mine?
• Cassia •
“Don’t you think you were a little harsh on Haruna?”? Nina asked, once we left the cafeteria. I looked at her and raise an eyebrow at her. She thought I was being harsh?
“She’s a vampire and her brother tried to kill me.” I answered her and she scoffed, stopping to look at me.
“Yeah, her brother tried to kill you. Not her.” I sighed, stopping also. She was right. My fight was with Hann, not with Haruna. She’s been nothing but nice to me, but that still didn’t change the fact that she was a vampire. And it shouldn’t be a reason why Nina should be on her side and not mine. She wasn’t even her friend.
“Why are you defending her?” I question, feeling slightly offended. Just because she was nice to me did not mean I wasn’t going to kill her. I still had a mission to complete. I wasn’t going to spare her life when I was after her and her family.
“I’m not defending her. I was simply pointing out the truth.” She stated and I let out an annoyed sigh right before my eyes landed on Hann. Speak of the devil. We made eye contact for a while before he walked away and towards our last class.
“What do you want me to say? She’s still a vampire.” Nina sighed also and looking around. Did she like vampires or not? She was confusing me right now. I thought we would be on the same page here but I guess not.
“I have to go.” She said turning and walking away. Okay. I guess that’s that. What ever that was. But why the hell was she defending her? Annoyed, I turned around to go to class but ended up bumped into someone. Great, it better not fucking be Hann. I looked up and gasped.
“Christian?” I asked surprised, I had forgotten all about him. He looked down at me and rolled his eyes before walking pass me. Asshole!
“An apology would be nice.” I yelled after him and he turned around. Well at least I got his attention.
“I don’t like you.” He answered randomly and very rudely. Okay? What was I suppose to do with that information? He didn’t like me because he didn’t know me. Why would he? There’s nothing to like, all I did was annoy him that day.
“You don’t even know me.” I stated and watched as he shrugged. There was honestly no need for him to be such an asshole. One asshole to deal with was enough. I didn’t need two.
“Don’t need too. Just know I don’t like you.” He stated before turning back around and walking away.
“Okay.” I said walking towards my last class. I entered and walked over towards my seat. Hann was already looking at me. Of course he was. I sat next to him and the urge to kill him started taking over. I inhale deeply trying to calm down, not making eye contact. I really did need to control my emotions.
“Haruna is nothing like me. She likes you a lot and you shouldn’t be mad at her because of me.” I heard him say and turned to look at him shocked, I was surprised by hearing those words coming out of his mouth. I was surprised by how calmly he was talking to me. I was surprised by how normal he looked. Was he sick? Did something happen to him?
”What?” I asked, pretending I didn’t hear him and he closed his eyes taking in a deep breath. Ahh, I get it now. He was trying to stay calm because of his sister. I knew there was a reason. If it wasn’t because of Haruna, he’d probably try to kill me again.
“You shouldn’t stop being friends with Haruna because of me.” He repeated, while I just looked at him. He was so close and he looked even hotter talking to me like that. I couldn’t believe myself right now. He tried to kill me yesterday and all I could think about was how hot he freaking looked right now. Unbelievable. I mentally slapped myself and focused back on our conversation.
”So, you’re telling me she’s not a monster like you?” Fuck! Great, my stupid mouth would be the one to get me in trouble. The words slipped out of my mouth before I could even stop my self. After what I said, his eyes turned red for a bit which caused me to stay quiet.
“She’s not.” He answered through gritted teeth as his eyes went back to normal. I didn’t know what else to say to him so I turned around and looking at the teacher. I had gotten him angry again and I really didn’t want to deal with it. The rest of the class went by quick. I had ignored Hann completely and listened to the teacher. She had spoken about square roots and other stuff I didn’t really care to pay attention to. Why did I take pre- calculus? I could’ve taken algebra or something. Not like it mattered anyway. I won’t be staying here long. I’ll make sure of it.
