Katrina

I stormed out the door as soon as I was ready. Dallas tried to speak to me but I ignored him. We normally don’t fight, and this is really not anything to fight about, but he just really irritated me today. Don’t ask why, he just did. Like, does he really think I would fall in love with a fucking vampire?! In fact, that part doesn’t even piss me off. The part that pisses me off was him saying he would disown me, that hurt. Really bad.
I reached in my bag to look for my keys, noticing I could find them. I groaned as I realized I left them on the kitchen table, oh well, looks like I’m walking. To where? I have no fucking clue, but at least it’s somewhere away from that house. Somewhere where I can just sit and think about everything that’s going on in my life. I was okay with walking today, since it was a pretty nice day out in the first place. I continued my walk down the sidewalk, and I ended up at the mall, don’t ask how, I just did. Well, what better time than to go shopping then when you are pissed off? It’s even better that I still have Dallas’ credit card in my wallet. I giggled at my thoughts and walked around the huge mall, taking everything in.
I ended only buying a new pair of shoes, but that’s fine. I took out my phone and saw I had five missed calls, and six text messages. All from Dallas. I looked out one of the windows of the mall, and noticed the sun had went down. Well, better get something to eat before I head home. I made my way to the food court, and saw a Chinese buffet. I quickly walked over and ordered myself some food, having them put it in a to-go bag so I could just bring it home with me.
Once I was finished with getting my food, I made my way to the exit of the mall and left. I went straight to the sidewalk I was previously walking on, and started my journey back. I walked for a few more minutes, realizing that I didn’t really want to go back home and face what Dallas has to say, I can just hear it now.
‘Why were you out so late? Do you know how worried I was? Do you know that I went out and looked for you? Why didn’t you answer any of my calls? Or even my damn text?!”
Yeah, whatever Dal.
Before I could talk myself out of it, I turned down a different road, deciding I would take the long way home. Hopefully by the time I got home, Dallas would already be in bed, and asleep. I put both the bags, my food and the one with my shows, in one hand and pulled my phone out with the other one. I checked the time and saw it was already 11:56pm. I put my phone back in my pocket and looked forward. Dallas should be asleep by now, the guy couldn’t stay awake past 9pm even if he tried. I continued to walk, and I turned the corner of a road, and saw four guys on the other side of the street. I continued my pace down the road, trying my best to ignore their hoots and whistles. I rolled my eyes when I noticed that they were all coming across the street and making their way in front of me. They stopped me dead in my tracks.

“Hey baby, what are you doing out this late?” The one with blonde hair spoke.

“Making my way home. Now move.” I replied trying to push through them, but was only stopped by the brown haired one. “Move before I kick all your asses.” I growled.

“Awe, how cute. She thinks she can hurt us.” The one with the bottle of alcohol snickered.

“She may not be able to hurt you. But I can.” I heard a voice behind me say. I looked behind me and saw Jack was there.

“Oh, hey Jack. Have a thing for following me around at night?” I asked with a chuckle.

“Your brother was worried. He called me and had me follow you. You alright?”

“Jack, I can take care of myself. Would you like to see me prove myself?”

“Alright. Put on a show. I’ll just stand back and watch. Here, let me take those bags for ya.” I gladly handed my bags over to my vampire friend, well, somewhat friend, and turned back around to the three men in front of me.

“Done talking to the boy? Want to see if you can handle a man, little girl?” The blonde one spoke, as he reached over and put his hand on my shoulder. I grabbed his arm and twisted it, flipping him over and making him land on his back, onto the sidewalk.

“What the fuck?” The brown haired guy said as he gave me a look of disgust and tried to grab my arms, which he did. I heard Jack let out a growling sound and I chuckled.

“Chill Jack, I got this shit.” I said as I looked over to him. He nodded his head and I put my focus back on the guy holding my arms behind my back. I noticed we were right next to a back wall of a building, so I jumped up and let my feet hit the way as I kicked myself back, landing behind the guy, getting my arms free. He was confused on what just happened, so I tapped his shoulder and he turned around, once he made eye contact with me, I put my leg behind him and leg sweeped him so he landed on the ground next to his scum of a friend. I looked over at the one with the alcohol and he had a scared look on his face. “Do you want to try something, too?”

“How the hell did you do that?” He asked, in pure shock.

“Maybe you and your stupid friends should learn not to mess with a vampire hunter.” I spoke as I shook my head at him.

“Or a vampire.” Jack said as he came to my side and hissed at the guy, showing his fangs, which really freaked them all out. I let out a chuckle and took my bags from Jack.

“You know boys, I could easily sick him on you all. So you have about five seconds to get up and get out of our way.” I said as I glared at the two on the ground, then back up at the one still standing. Jack made another hissing sound and the two on the ground jumped up to their feet, and they all ran across the street and back into there little alleyway.

“You know Jack, I kinda knew you were following me.” I spoke as we continued to walk down the sidewalk.

“Oh yeah? And how is that?” He asked.

“I felt you.”

“What?”

“I get these feelings in my gut when a vampire, or vampires, are around. It’s kinda something I got from my Mom. When I was in the mall, I could feel that it was you, which is why I wasn’t really surprised when you showed up behind me just now.”

“Understandable.” He said as he nodded his head. The rest of the walk was silent. We reached our houses and we stopped on the sidewalk, well, I stopped on the sidewalk, and Jack just followed my lead.

“What the hell is the light doing on? Dallas should be asleep. Ugh, I don’t want to have to deal with him right now.” I spoke, and ended with a groan.

“You can stay at my place. You can take my room and I can sleep on the couch.”

“First off I don’t want to intrude. Secondly, do you really think I would stay in a house with four vampire's? Who’s lives I could end any time I wanted to?”

“Oh shut up. You will learn to love us. Come on.” Jack ended with a chuckle as he grabbed my arm and pulled me with him. He opened the door to his house and we stepped in. The first thing I saw was Alex, Zack, and Rian, sitting at the kitchen table, drinking from blood bags.

“Okay. Gross.” I said. Making them all look up to us.

“Fuck, why didn’t you tell us we were going to have someone over Jack? We would have waited till they were gone!” Alex complained as he took the bag out of his mouth.

“I thought you guys only only drink animal blood?” I asked.

“We do, which is what is in these bags. Don’t ask how we got animal blood in a bag, just note that we did.” Rian spoke. I nodded my head slowly and looked up to Jack. Who was already looking down at me.

“You’re a creep. First you follow me, now you stare at me. Stop that.”

“Sorry. I just couldn’t help it, you are just too fucking cute.” He said with a smirk.

“Yeah, will I still be able when I take a stake to your chest whenever you fuck up?” I asked, matching his smirk.

“Yes. Yes you will be.” He said. I let out a groan and walked away from him, and made myself at home in the living room. I took off my shoes next to the couch and turned on the tv. I put my bag with my new shoes, next to my old shoes on the ground. I opened up my Chinese food and started eating, right when the vamps walked into the living room. “Yep, go ahead and make yourself at home.”

“I was already planning on it. As you can tell.” I spoke as I took another bite of my food. I noticed Zack was looking at me like I was prey, and I didn’t take kindly to that at all. “You got about two seconds to stop looking at me like that, or I swear I will reach into the bag and put a stake to your chest before you even know what is going on.”

“Gosh dammit Zack. Humans are friends. Not food. Get it in your head. And you just ate!” Rian said as he got up and grabbed him by his arm and pulled him over to the other couch and sat him down next to him. Zack took his eyes off of me and put them on the bookcase, which I’m pretty sure is only for show.
No one else said anything, and I soon finished up my food, and placed my trash back in the bag I carried it home in.

“This house smells too much like vampire.” I said as I put my shirt over my nose.

“Well no shit. Four of them live here.” Jack said with his smirk as he was sitting next to me.

“Yeah, four to many.” I said looking him dead in the eyes.

“You really want to kill us, don’t you?” He asked.

“I sure do.” I replied.

“How about I take you up to my room, and you can go to sleep. That way you can get that thought of murder out of your head.”

“How about you like me just kill you already?”

“No thanks.”

“Trust me. I don’t need permission. If I wanted you guys dead so quickly, it would have happened already.”

“Well, aren't you just a bundle of joy to have around.” Alex spoke.

“I am, aren't I?” I asked with a smirk.

“I don’t know about you three, but I love having her around.” Jack spoke looking around to his friends.

“Why?” Zack asked.

“Well, you guys know how much feistiness turns me on. What can I say? I find her rather attractive. And when I win, she will be mine.” He spoke lowly as he bent his head and placed his lips to my neck. I rolled my eyes and in one swift movement, I had his head in a position when I could snap it with one twist.

“Now see, you let your guard down. We don’t want this happening, now do we?” I whispered into his ear. He chuckled. I release him from my grip and sat back down. “Watch where you place those lips of yours, Jack. We don’t want you dead, now do we?”

“Oh, we all know that you want me dead. But then again, I feel like you don’t want me dead. Because if you really did, then you would have done it right then and there. What’s holding ya back? Starting to catch some feelings for me?” He asked with a smirk. Gosh, that smirk just made me want to snap his neck.

“Oh please. Like I would EVER fall for the likes of your kind.” I spoke as I shook my head.
