Carters POV

I locked eyes with this boy and I could tell there was something really different about him. When he touched me I shivered as if someone dropped an ice cube down my shirt. His eyes...were a ruby red. His skin was pale. When he spoke he was very calm and articulated his words very carefully. He has black hair which was longer in the back but smooth in the front (not like in the movie because I wasn't a fan of that hair cut. More of a modern cut)

I was scared shitless. Not just from him but everything. Where I was, when it was and now I'm alone with a stranger. Besides that I felt sick to my stomach due to the mixture of booze, fear, adrenaline and hitting my head.

After I nodded in agreement too keep quiet he kept looking at me as if he was in a trance. I didn't know what to do or what to say. We sat there for a few moments with him just looking at me.

Eventually he reached to where my foot was trapped and put his hand around my ankle. I winched in pain but he didn't ease up. He twisted and moved it until it was set free

"Thank you" I half whispered

"Yeah, sure" is all he said before moving closer to me

I didn't even notice I was still crying but I guess I was.

He reached his hand to my face and swiped away the tear and in a swift movement moved his fingers upward to my forehead. He was wiping the blood that was dripping down my face from my cut

He pulled his hand away from from me and examined his bloody fingers. He smiled and noticed it....when he smiled there were 2 long fangs, one on each side of his mouth. He moved his fingers to his Mouth and licked the blood off, his pupils dialed and he let out a satisfied exhale

Hell no. My mind was racing and I didn't even know that to think. Was I dreaming or did I have a concussion from the fall. There is no way he is a...vampire? Cannibal??

I must of had fear written all over my face because he looked at me

"Carter" he spoke calmly and his voice had a slight accent but not Scottish. Wait...how'd he know my name? "I am not going to hurt you" he spoke as if he was trying to convince both of us

"Okay" was all I was able to get out

He looked at me more and his eyes went to my bloody hand, and without hesitation he grabbed my wrist and looked at me again. Blood was running from my finger tips past my wrist

"I'm not going to hurt you" he repeated again without taking his eyes off my hand and brought my arm to his mouth. He started half way down my arm. He began licking the blood off of me, cleaning me. I didn't know what to do. This was the strangest thing that has ever happened to me. I kept quiet as he made his way up my arm to my hand. Once he reaches my wrist be did a combination of sucking and licking my palm. He moaned quietly. Not a sexual moan but a moan as if he was eating at a five star restaurant....and I was the bloody steak.

Strangely enough it felt actually good.

He cleaned my hand and began too lick up my finger. Reaching the tip he stuck the whole thing in this month. I never expected a guy to do this too me....dead or alive. He pulled out my finger and moved to the next one. He moaned deeply and I felt the same. The sensation was moan worthy but I wouldn't let one escape. He pulled my newly cleaned finger out and placed my arm back on my lap as if nothing happened.

There was an awkward silence...I mean how could there not be.

"Am I going to become a vampire" I broke the silence "I don't want to be a vampire" I blurted out

"Did I bite you" he asked

"No"

"So there's your answer" he said as if it was obvious. I mean I guess it was?

He was looking at me again. Eyeing me up and down but not in a vicious way

"I have to leave" as if it just clicked in my head and I stood up quickly...to quickly. I hissed at the pain once I put pressure on my ankle and lifted it up.

I don't know if it was the liquor or the head trauma or the blood loss but the world stared to spin. Around and around and around. the dark moving in circles.

I leaned against the tree for support but it was too late. I leaned over and it came out....vomit. I felt an arm around my back holding me up as I let more come out. When I throw up I cry, everytime. As I finish vomiting I feel weak but try and pull away from the boys grip, failing to do so.

"That's repulsive" the boy looks at my vomit, actually very rude of him since he just drank my blood without asking

"Excuse me" I snapped at him But he ignored me And just shrugged

My head rushed and I couldn't support myself, I turned around to face the boy and just let it go. I was exhausted. I didn't have any fight in me anymore. I placed my head in the crook of his neck (hey don't judge me, nothing about my night is normal okay!) he smelled like the forest...like nature? I couldn't put my finger on it but it was something I wouldn't ever forget.

Between his smell, his abnormally cold skin, and his eyes I don't think I could forget him....oh yeah and the fact he's a vampire.

"I need to get back to my friends" I spoke and even that was too much for me

"The friends that left you" he said but not too me exactly but in general. I was slightly hurt at that comment but I mean yeah? I guess? I don't know exactly, Collin left me but did they think we were together? I have no idea. Katie had my phone in her purse since I didn't have any pockets so I am 100% disconnected. But if they knew Collin left me would they have come looking for me?

"I'll get you to your friends" he said in my ear "but you have to close your eyes okay"

"Hmm"

With that I shut my eyes and I felt him pick me up effortless

"Keep them closed" he said again and I felt a rush of air. I didn't open my eyes, I didn't want too. I didn't want to panic myself even more. I just kept inhaling his sent and honesty, it become engraved in my nose. It was comforting

A few minutes later the rush of the air stopped and the boy put me down

"Open them"

When I opened my eyes we were in the woods

"Where are we" I asked

"Your friends" he said and pointed too the right. "The two girls and the other boy, there on the road walking. I'm not sure about the guy who left you" he said and had a slight eye roll but I didn't care I was mad at Collin too. Mad? No. Pissed. Fucking infuriated. "I'm going to walk you a few yards behind them, you are going to call their names and I'm going to leave" he said and it wasn't as if I had a choice.

"Okay" I nodded.

Without warning the boy picked me up Bridal style and Walked in between the trees until we came to the road. In the moonlight I could see three people walking in the opposite directions, their backs towards us.

He placed me down again And grabbed my face with his hands

"You are going to make your way too them. Call out their names. You aren't going to tell them about me. You aren't going to remember me. You going to remember that the Collin left you, you're ankle was trapped and he left you. You pulled it free. He never came back for you. You got up and made you're way here but that's all you remember"

I didn't understand why he was saying that. Why he was gazing into my eyes and speaking so slow. It wasn't like he was asking me to keep him a secret but demanding me

"Sure" Was the only thing I could think off

He turns me to face the road and I take a few steps forward—limp a few steps forward—I never said thank you. I turn around and he was gone. Just vanished out of thin air.

I face the road again and limp to the middle of it.

"Guys" I call out "Gabe, Katie, Danielle"

"Carter" I can hear Gabe shockingly say and the three of them ran to me

"Oh my god what happened to you" Katie said as they approached me

"Collin and I ran away. My ankle got caught and I fell. I hit my head. Collin left me. He just left me there" I cried and Katie hugged me

"Let's get your back to our house" Gabe said and put his arm around my back and so did Danielle on the opposite side helping me

"Carter we swear we didn't know what happened" Danielle said and she sounded sincere

"We texted Collin and he just gave the shrugging emoji. We thought that meant you were with him. He said he would meet us at the house"

"You're fucking kidding me" I laughed because it was crazy. He literally is the biggest asshole

we walked in silence to Katie's house and when we finally reached it Collin was on the front porch waiting

"Oh god carter" he said and walked to us

"Get the fuck away from me" I told him "you're the biggest dick. You fucking left me in a graveyard alone. With some guy looking for us" I knew I was crying but I don't care. I was a crier and it wasn't going to change

"I knew you were going to be okay babe and look you are" he said smugly

"Collin I think you should leave" Katie interjected

"Why" Collin was offended

"Dude just go home" Gabe told him, pulled out the house key and opened the door helping me in

"You're kidding" Collin said pathetically

"Bro you literally left Carter in the cemetery with the grounds keeper looking for us. She has a cut on her head and her hand is all busted open. And then you didnt even tell us. We would have went back for her" Gabe turned to Collin and got in his face

"Stop it" Danielle told him "leave Collin you're not welcomed here right now"

Collin listened and stormed off ranting about bro's before hoes. Yup I guess I'm a hoe now. Gabe didn't even seem bothered.

Katie and Danielle brought me to the bathroom and helped me get cleaned up and brought me my bag that I dropped off earlier. After a small shower with the help from Katie, putting some anti bacterial gel on my cuts and getting changed into pajamas I laid in Katie's bed with her.

"I'm sorry" she said to me in the dark

"Don't be" I told her "I knew he wasn't a nice guy and now it's done between us"

"Goodnight" she eventually said

"Night" But I couldn't sleep. All I could think about was the boy. His smell, him sucking my fingers. How I never got his name or to say thank you. How I just met a fucking vampire.

I pictured his face as I drifted into a deep sleep.
