I can feel the blood gushing through my veins all because my heart is going rapid. Drake has a power to influence emotions I know that much, the wind does that to cool me. To help me feel safe, however Drake is using it to get out of trouble.

“What do you know about that power?” He whispered curiously but seductively at the same time. How does he do it? How does he make me feel so

Uncomfortable but still I like him as if he were God.

I now feel like I shouldn’t have said anything so I stepped back and turned around to walk away. I crashed into a hard chest and I realised straight away that it’s Drake. 

“You move fast.” I said.

“Alicia I have to ask...”

“No you have no right to question me.” I snapped before he could finish then the bell rang. “My plan was to ignore you for the entire day but now that I think about it what happened last night almost got me killed because of you.” I growled and what raised my anger was that he didn’t look shocked, worried or even remotely surprised and worst of all he doesn’t even look guilty for what he’s done. It’s as if this is a normal occurrence to him. He just stared at me unblinking. “Well bonus points for paying attention jackass.”

“What?” Oops said that out loud.

“Don’t question me Roman God! You abandon me at a club, I’m so lucky I had someone there who remained sober while I got pissed drunk. Really it should have been you dancing with me on that dance floor, you who bashed the guy who tried to sexually harass me.” Finally he shows emotion his eyes widened stunned then he looked upset. “And you...” He interrupted me. “I’ll kill him.”

“Huh?”

“The guy who attacked you.” Really that’s what he’s getting from this.

“Hmmm.” I checked my imaginary watch. “Nope nine and a half hours too late to play the hero Roman. You know what why am I even bothering you don’t care about me.” I tried to side step him but forced my back to slam into the wall and placed his hands on either side of my head to trap me. This is exciting me but also scaring me, he has a power to control my feelings what else could he possibly be capable of?

“Alicia I know I shouldn’t have left you behind it killed me...”

“Alicia? Hey you OK?” Drake and I both looked over at Tom coming from another corridor behind us and he had Arnica there with him. They both look concerned actually Tom looks like he wants to start a beating. Other students are aware of us and aren’t sure what to do.

Drake’s right hand fell to his side as he moved his body slightly to stare at them. “Just fuck...” NO! I grabbed Drake’s left hand and let my inner snow seep out from my skin to sink into his pores and freeze up his hand. He groaned and stiffened then glared down at his hand. I’ve painfully frozen the nerves in his hand and he shot me a horrified glower.

“Don’t be rude to my friends.” I hissed at him angrily then gazed over at them blankly. “We’re good guys just go I’ll see you later.”

“OK.” Arnica said hesitantly but they didn’t too fast. Not until everyone heard a teacher yelling through the corridor shouting at slow students.

“Come with me.” Drake whispered to me and started walking down the opposite way from all the students. I’m tempted to follow him, but I just thought of what the wind would say for me to do. She wouldn’t want me wasting my time with boys when there’s serious schoolwork needed to be done. But this dark temptation is growing and then fear of being alone with him snapped me back. I started walking the opposite direction. “Alicia.” He called out and I turned around then fell hypnotised by his dazzling eyes. He head gestured for me to follow him, I didn’t move. Now that I have seen what I can do, what happened in my past and what shouldn’t have happened last night. I need to every detail of what’s going on. So I rushed up behind him and he attempted with his hand to hold mine but his fingers wouldn’t move.

“I can’t believe how calm you took that.” I said talking about his frozen hand as he rushed me around the corner.

“What exactly did you do to me? Paralyse me?”

“No I froze you.” I replied then lifted up my hand to show him snow seeping out from my palm and he remained blank.

“Now I understand your love for cold.” He said then stopped me in my tracks leaning his face really close to mine. He smirked. “I like things hot.” He whispered then the hand I froze went a lit with bright blue fire. I yelped jumping back in fright and his smirk widened but then he shook it away as well as the flames and used the same hand to hold mine. He dragged me to a classroom; it’s an art room with carpet. Who puts carpet in an art room that’s just stupid? I would complain loudly if I wasn’t staggered by fangs, fire, blue fire and now snow. He closed the door and we moved over to the back table to avoid passing teachers with curious eyes. We sat on seats next to each other but turned them to face each other. My foot is nervously tapping as he stared at me not blankly, there’s some emotion there and for a minute I mistook as adoration. I don’t know.

“Drake...”

“Finally, are you always going to call me Roman when you’re mad?”

“Probably.” I whispered now hunching over a bit and looking at the paint splotches on the table.

“Who tried to kill you?” He paused. “This time.”

“Take a wild guess.” I responded coldly pouting a little as I laced my fingers together and sat them in my lap.

“Charles... I didn’t think he would follow after you Alicia I swear I didn’t. Wait!” He stood up leaned over me and forced my head to the side.

Pushing my chair back I shot straight up and stared at him annoyed.

“What are you doing?” Is he actually checking my neck for bite marks? Does that mean Charles that green eyed guy who hates Drake is a vampire also?

“How did you get away from him?” he asked suspiciously walking towards me so I started walking backwards getting more freaked out by the minute.

“It wasn’t Charles. I was attacked by your ex girlfriend last night as I was driving home. You could have mentioned to me that your ex is an obsessive psycho bloodsucker.” I exclaimed and he looked taken aback then dared to act all confused.

“What are you talking about? Vampires... They don’t exist.” Really? How simple minded does he think I am?

“She had fangs and everything! She’s vampire which makes you a...” Oh my god. “A sexy vampire...” I stepped back almost stumbling over a chair and cupped my face. I really simple minded. He is a vampire.

“A sexy vampire?” He grinned showing perfect white teeth when I expected fangs. I blushed and then hugged my arms.

“You’re an OK vampire.” I mocked sourly and he chuckled perking his brow.

“Alicia?”

“Yes?”

“What are you?” He asked me and I frowned.

“I’ll get back to you on that.”

“You don’t know?” I shook my head as in ‘no I don’t’. “Mind if I try smelling you?” He asked me and I perked a brow. “Your neck to see if I can figure it out.”

“You expect me to trust a vampire to just sniff my neck?”
“Alicia.” He smiled then trailed his fingers from the top to the bottom of my neck tickling my skin. “I kissed you along here. Don’t you think that if I wanted to drink you I already would have?” I suppose he has a point. An unneeded point that did not have to be said and just reminded me of last night. I leaned my head to the side and I felt the tip of his nose touch my neck and his breath tickled me. “You smell fine.” He whispered then gently kissed my neck and my whole body shivered. The feelings I tried to push down just blossomed up again and I let him nuzzle his face into my neck.

“Drake...” I breathed and that only encouraged him to lift me up and force my legs to wrap around his waist as he kissed my mouth. The act drove out any common sense and I kissed him back feeling the soft threads of his hair slip through my fingers. His kisses spark something in me, this is just right. Not how I expected this to go but there are no complaints coming from me. He set me down on another table and I dropped my bag on the floor then silently moaned when I felt his cold hands slide under my T-shirt and electrify every nerve around my stomach. In my head I’m scowling at myself and telling me off because the only dumb thoughts I’m thinking now, is how soft Drake’s lips are and how bad it will be when a teacher catches us. Ugh bad Alicia... Oh well, I guess I’m only missing out homeroom. As a seventeen year old girl I do need to live a little. Right? At that moment I started to worry because I can’t trust these feelings if Drake can control them. I pushed back Drake and glared up at him. “This is not fair. My feelings for you are not even real.”

“I’m not provoking your emotions Alicia.” He said and I stared at him unbelievably and unsure.

“Promise?”

“I can only heighten or soothe someone’s feelings, you’d already have to love me for me be able to heighten that emotion.” My cheeks heated up at the word love. This all makes sense but can I trust him? “I promise Alicia I will never use this power on you. Just keep our secret ok?” He stroked away a strand of my hair and I watched as his eyes turned black.

“Drake your eyes...”

“I’m hungry.” He replied then backed away from and paced soundlessly to the door. Of course he’s a vampire he can’t just eat normal food. Will he literally leave school to feed on... something? I dread to think what? He wouldn’t drink from a human would he?

“Drake you’re leaving?” I called out to him before he opened the door.

“I’ll be back at recess.”

“Wait because you’re a vampire you won’t drink anyone will you?”

“Are you disturbed by that thought? Just think about what we talked about and see if that comforts you.” He said winking at me then with such inhumane speed he was gone within half a second. I thought about our conversation on vampires. He had asked me my opinion of them, he wouldn’t to see if it was possible for to accept. I see it now, and then I remised the part about good vampires. Drake is a good vampire I know he is. He acts all tough but he would never intentionally hurt someone without good reason. I don’t just say this because I love him, but because it’s true.

But I’m not going to go all Bella Swan, I will not be persuaded that easily.

He still has a lot to explain for last night. Don’t care how good his butt looks today in those pants.
