《Bound By Blood》Bound By Blood: 21. Come A Little Closer

"Diana, what did you do!" I scream at her, I don't know why I'm screaming. I don't know if I am getting pissed at the thought that she hurt herself or that I'm upset she did what she did.
"Leave me alone!" She shouts back at me while I'm towering over her at the edge of the bed. This is not going to end well. She lets out a loud cry again, digging her head deeper in her pillow and a wave of her blood hits me again. I look down at her hands that are bawled in fists and I smell it fresh and wet. She is still bleeding.
"Get up." I say but she doesn't listen except mumble to herself, something like 'no'. "Diana, get up!" I scream, getting on the bed and trying to grab her. I'm hovering over her while my legs are on each side of her body and my knees resting on the mattress.
"NO! Leave me! Let go!" She screams, moving around uncontrollably under my body so I can't grab her. I finally grab a hold of one of her wrists but it slips out of my grip from her wet sticky blood.
"Stop moving." I say through gritted teeth, grabbing her shoulders and pinning her down while her eyes are closed and tears streaming down her face. I finally grab her wrists again and I move off of her, lifting her off of her bed. She screams and cries again while I start to drag her into the bathroom. I open the light while it flickers open and hurts my eyes for a couple of seconds from the brightness. I go to the tub and I put one foot in, sliding until I have fallen in and I throw Diana on top me.
"Stop!" Diana shouts in my ear and I pin her down on my chest, her back on me.
"Calm down!" I reply back, lifting my foot and turning the nozzle, freezing cold water coming down at us from the top. She shouts as the cold water is pouring down at her while the side of her face is pressed up at my chest.
"Please stop." She finally chokes out with her low voice which kind of soothed me.
"Are you not going to try and run now?" I ask her, moving a strand of wet hair sticking on her face away. Diana nods while chattering her teeth from the coldness. I sigh, using my foot to turn the nozzle again while warm water comes down. Her heart beat slowly paces down when I hear it like a melody. She takes a deep breath while closing her eyes and the water filling in the tub. It felt relaxing, having it hitting us and Diana breathing softly against me. I realize that I still have my arms wrapped around her so she can't leave, the water rinsing her bloody arms away. I lean my head down to her head, kissing her shoulder and staying like that, the heat of the water and the smell of her consuming me.

Minutes passed and we are still in the tub together, the water becoming cold.
"Diana, get up or you'll get sick." She lets out a sigh, trying to move. I helped her up, turning the water off and stepping out of the tub soaking wet. My hair is ruffled everywhere and I probably look like a mess. She loses balance until I grab her by the waist but I pause. I narrow down at my holding and I feel her warm skin through her wet shirt. I shake it out, making her sit on the toilet and grabbing the first aid kit in the cabinet. I turn the sink on, letting her dried blood and glass pieces in there run down the drain. I grab one of her hands, wrapping it up in bandages so it can stop the bleeding while I do the same with the other.
I leave her in the bathroom so she can walk by herself while I use my vampire speed to run around the room and change the bloody sheets. Luckily, her blood didn't seep through the mattress. I change the sheets and I throw the clean blankets over them. I go to her garbage and I throw the old sheets in there. Diana finally comes out dripping wet while I turn my gaze to her.
"Go get changed into sleeping wear. I'll be back, I'm gonna go get changed too." I softly say to her but she doesn't respond except head to her closet. I leave her room and I run to mine with fast speed so it won't take that long. I take off my wet clothes and I put on a pair of boxers and a white long sleeve shirt. I go to my mirror and I ruffle my hair dry with a towel before leaving. When I reach her bedroom, she is laying down on her bed wearing pajamas. I walk up to her and I move her hair away from her pillow because it was wet. I bit my bottom lip, turning my heel until her voice stops me.
"Xavier?" She croaks out with her eyes closed.
"Yes?" I ask her calmly.
"Can you lay down with me?" I open my mouth in detest but I shake out of it. I walk back to her bed, sitting down on the edge than slowly laying down besides her. Her presence felt warm and I liked it. I pull the covers over me while I turn to my side, my front against her back. I didn't know what to do so I put my arm over her body to keep her close to me. Once again, I can't sleep so I hear her breath deeply and the sound of her humming heart.

It's weird when I'm around her. I want to test myself when I'm alone with her. I don't know why but I haven't been feeding correctly either since she came here. I want to see how long I can control myself around her before I can't, to see if the Prophecy is fake. But I don't think it is.
"Diana?" I whisper in her ear but there's no response, she must be in a deep sleep. I look down at her bare neck with a vein showing clearly bare at me. My mouth waters and I still smell her blood from her hands. It's hard to resist. "She's sleeping, she's sleeping... she's innocent." I whisper to myself with my eyes closed so I can control myself. I know I should leave but I feel like I can't. I need to be near her, I have to be with her where ever she goes. I clench my stomach tight while my throat burns for thirst. When I healed her neck when she got bit my Mason, I had to pull back. The taste of her blood was on the tip of my tongue and I couldn't get it out. I wanted more. I craved her.
I don't know why but I heard her scream my name when Mr. Walsh attacked her but no one else did. I had to excuse myself from class to save her. I still question the thought of why I was the only one who heard her. I lift my head up from laying on the pillow and I lean closer to her neck, licking my lips. Maybe if I do bite her, it won't be that painful because she's sleeping. I just want one taste, one drop. I can hear her blood circulating through her veins and the heat of her skin getting hotter. My fangs withdraw from my gums and I bring them down to her skin. They are aching so bad while I cup my mouth around her neck. I slowly bite down, my fangs digging deep until I hear someone at the door.
I become alerted as I quickly get off of the bed, sitting down at the chair near her desk. The door opens and Alex pops his head in, seeing me and walking in. He watches Diana sleep while heading towards me.
"How is she?" He ask, straightening down his pajamas shirt.
"She's good, eventually fell asleep." I say, skipping the whole bathroom scene. "What happen with the girl's body?"
"We sent her back to her family so they can have a funeral. Luckily they are very nice and understanding what has happen and that we did nothing. News flew fast and everyone knows about it, some people not very happy."
"Of course, hopefully nothing else happens." I admit and Alex lets out a low chuckle from my comment. Suddenly, he sniffs the air and wrinkles his nose.
"Do you smell that?"
"What, Diana's blood?" I shift uncomfortably in my seat. Hopefully he doesn't go near her and see the bandages or go to the garbage or the bathroom with no mirror and blood still in the sink.
"Is that what it is? Wow, that's very strong."
"Maybe she has her period." I joke while Alex groans grossly.
"Ew, why are you thinking about that?"
"I'm joking." I laugh and he joins with me quietly so we don't wake Diana up.
"Yeah but if she did, it wouldn't smell pretty pleasing as now." He admits and I nod in agreement while he hits me lightly against the shoulder.
"I'm used to it, she smells like this all the time to me."
"Wow that's odd, unless I'm getting older and my senses are growing weak or it's something with the Prophecy."
"I think it's something with the Prophecy." I say and Alex's blue eyes light up in the dark room.
"Wait a minute, did I just hear that right or is my hearing dying down too?"
"Nope, I just said it."
"I'm proud of you, Xavier." I furrow my eyebrows towards him.
"For what?"
"You're changing into a different person, you're caring." I scoff at his comment, I always cared about people... didn't I? "I hope she changes you." We both turn our gazes to Diana who is calmly sleeping.
"I think she is." I confess, I don't know why I'm telling Alex this. I tell him everything but about my emotions... no. Eventually, silence engulfs us and he tells me that he's going to bed so he leaves the room, leaving me alone with the girl that is changing my world.
I am very curious and I want you guys to comment here who you guys don't want to die in this book. For example- you're favorite character or whoever!
^^^^ please do!
