Chapter 38 - Thirty - Eight : I Almost Died
"Hi, I\'m Dan " he said to the shell-shocked Lia, who was still trying to wrap her head around all this.
"How di ....."
"How do you feel ?" Dan interrupted her, stunning her. Again.
He drew himself closer to the extent their bodies were touching. His gaze dropped to her body, blazing hazel eyes examining her body thoroughly
"What are you doing? " she asked dodging this very tactile guy, he had lifted a hand to touch her face.
"Do you feel weird?" He asked trying to feel her temperature.
Lia raised a confused brow " Am I supposed to feel weird? "
Ben snickered by the side while Lia wished she was a witch so she could silence him with a spell.
"Go on , just pretend I don\'t exist " Ben threw his hands up in surrender when he saw the killing stare she was giving him.
Ben knew how lucky he was sitting across from her else he couldn\'t tell what evil prank she would pull on him.
"OK, mister. Back off! " Lia warned when she saw Dan grab a few strands of her hair and sniffed it.
Dan blinked, momentarily stunned by his action. He was just checking out if something was wrong with her body when this tempting scent wafts into his nostrils, so he unconsciously leaned forward, inhaling her scent.
"I\'m sorry " he apologized realizing his behavior wasn\'t fitting of a gentle man.
Lia shook her head in disbelief " I\'m outta here " She said and stood.
Dan tried to explain but she left before the words could roll out of his mouth. He plonked down on the bench dissapointed, he never knew babysitting was this hard. If he had known, he wouldn\'t have taken up this offer in the first place.
His mission was to stay close to the girl which he was trying to until the hair sniffing incident. Well, he couldn\'t help himself, her scent was just too illecebrous and intoxicating. If she could smell this good, he wondered how good her blood would taste.
Dan frowned, realization hitting him. If the girl could smell this good to him, what about the other creatures? He wasn\'t a fool not to notice that vampires weren\'t the only blood suckers in town.
He stood abruptly " Where is she? "
"Who? " Ben asked confused
"The girl " He retorted , his eyes restlessly searching for her.
Ben said in between a yawn " I have no clue moreover why are you so interested in my goddess "
"None of your business human" He replied rudely, stood and left to search for her.
Ben innocently shrugged, picked up his goddess unfinished foods and began consuming it.
Meanwhile, Lia was in the school courtyard lieing on a concrete bench,earphones plugged in her ears, listening to some cool jam oblivious to what was going on.
After a while, she sat up realizing she was the only one left in the courtyard or so she thought until her sight fell on a young girl staring at her with fiery intensity.
The girl has light brown skin, double eyelid almond shaped eyes with ink black hair that flowed down her waist and a slim body. She looks asian, but Lia couldn\'t tell what part she was from.
The girl was beautiful but not to the extent of being referred to as ethereal. Strange enough, she just stood watching Lia who was creeped out.
Why was everyone looking at her that way? First, the handsome yet creepy guy, now this beautiful yet creepy girl. what the hell is wrong with this school?
Trying not to show she was affected by her intense gaze, she stood intending to move but her sunglass she took off earlier fell from her laps landing on the ground .
Thankfully, it didn\'t shatter so she bent to pick it up . Upon standing, she screamed discovering the strange girl was standing right in front of her.
"That\'s totally unfair! " She cried out " You guys got to stop sneaking up on me, I almost died " Lia clutched her heart, it was beating hard against her chest.
The strange girl didn\'t flinch instead she murmured "Come closer "
"What? "
"Come closer " she murmured again, this time a bit forcefully
Lia ignored the warning bells sounding in her head, she inched closer trying to make out what she was saying.
Perhaps she\'s a glutton for punishment cause no matter how much her instincts warn her, she always seem to dive right into trouble. literally, trouble seems to be her middle name.
As soon as lia was within her reach, she stretched her hand and made a grab for her. It all happened too quickly, Lia couldn\'t even tell what was going on.
All she knew was the strange girl engulfed her in a tight hug, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn\'t set herself free.
Her senses returned when she felt something cold and squishy on her neck, she turned and got the shock of her life.
The beautiful girl wasn\'t there anymore rather an ugly creature with wings was holding her still, it\'s proboscis-like tongue reaching for her neck.
Lia screamed . or tried to - she couldn\'t mutter a sound. She was frozen on the spot.
Out of nowhere, an indescribable force hit the girl or whatever creature she was , sending her flying a few metres away.
Next Lia blinked, she was standing on top of a building\'s rooftop. She couldn\'t think nor move, her mouth was dry and her legs felt like jelly. Her legs finally gave out but a cold firm arm wrapped around her waist securely.
What just happened?
