who seems to have a hold on my heart.
The moment I laid eyes on him, it was easy to get wrapped up in him so quickly that I allowed the gates of desire and lust to open and flood through my body, and for that I am disappointed in myself. I wasn’t supposed to let myself become vulnerable to the enemy. Maybe it is fate’s way of eventually bringing us together, and if it is, then I must fight against fate and escape this monster’s love.
But how could I dream of someone whom until last night I have never laid eyes on? That is the question that I have no answer to. Every time I try to figure it out, I am left exasperated and flustered.
It is seven in the morning and I have yet to find a comfortable position to fall asleep in. My mind has been spinning from thinking non-stop and I can’t seem to shut it off. I’m bothered by the affect that immortal had on me, I’m bothered that once again my father found a way to get under my skin, and lastly Eli has been in a coma since last night, leaving my group of hunters down one member. My father will more than likely have to replace him for the time being. That problem alone has left me anxious and tossing and turning. I know my father will choose someone that I don’t get along with, or they will be a rookie and I will be forced to take them under my wing. I need someone who will strengthen my group, not make it weaker than it already is now that I lost Eli.
I sighed and turned on my back. I looked around the room smiling at the millions of purple stars that glowed in the dark on every wall in my room.
Chelsea and Taylor had ordered Isaac to take me out and keep me busy so they could surprise me with an early birthday present when I came home. I have quite an obsession with stars, I talked their ears off with all the facts about them that I found the most interesting. That was the night Isaac and I really started to get to know each other. He was in my group before we began dating, but I never showed any interest in him until I was forced to spend time with him. Sparks certainly didn’t fly the first time, but after a while I found myself falling for him. So I came home to a nicely done up room and a second date. I had a new purple, silk bed set, a vase of sunflowers sitting on my bedside table, and when they turned the lights out I was surrounded in purple glow in the dark stars. It was magical and I was in heaven. I haven’t changed it much since they did the makeover except add an egg shape chair that is now hanging from my ceiling and placed a couple of photos on my computer desk.
I crawled out of my bed, deciding to go bother Chelsea. She isn’t the only person who can crawl in my bed and disturb me. I just hope Taylor isn’t in the bed with her that would surely ruin my plans to sleep in there.
I crept down the quiet, abandoned hallway to her room, which was only five doors down from mine. The door creaked as I slowly opened it, careful not to wake her up. Her room matched her personality perfectly. She had pink all over, with sketches of her own clothing designs hanging on the walls. A mannequin that matched her height and build stood in the corner with a half done red dress on it. She likes to wear her own clothes when she has the time to actually make them. She not only could be a model, but she could be a fashion designer also. Instead, she chose to become a vampire hunter.
Chelsea and her parents came to live with us when she was three years old. She is the same age as I am. We became best friends and grew up together. She is used to this lifestyle just like I am, and hunting is in both of our bloods. We may not have much in common, but we bonded over the loss of our loved ones. She lost her parents when she was eight and because I had already lost my mom, she leaned on me for comfort.
She was curled in a little ball, holding onto a light brown stuffed bear that held a red heart. I climbed in bed next to her, gently moving her blonde hair from her
