Immortal Enemies

Chapter 6

(Bee’s Pov)

“Zack…” I whispered as I stood there almost trembling in fear. This guy seriously scared me, and now he was in my house.

“Kick his ass out!” my brain screamed, but my body stayed frozen. I was about to say something but he started to say,

“Look Bee, I knew I would have to talk to you today, I can’t explain but I had a strong feeling I should. Im sorry for all of the pain I’ve caused you.

“I opened my mouth slightly trying to find words, but they were lost. Did he just apologize to me? Zack Baker? This must be some sick fucking joke or something. He continued to speak.

“I don’t really know why I did…well what I did the other night, but I know that part of me wanted to be mad, but another part of me wanted to have your attention.”

“What do you mean that you want my attention? After all this fucking time of you being an asshole you want my attention Baker?!”

“Well, it’s hard to explain, but I kind of liked you when I saw you in the hallway because you looked like the kind of person that would go well with me and the guys, and I guess I was a little disappointed when I saw u in cheer practice. It gave me a lot of mixed feelings when I thought we could never have anything in common.”

“Zacky,” I said quietly and calmly. “Do I look like a prep to you?”

“Well no…” He said while eyeing my blue skinny jeans, and my zebra print tee.”

“Everyone isn’t what they seem all the time Zacky.” I said smartly as if he were a dumbass. Well maybe he was. He sure acted like one.

“I know that now but, im sorry for all the shit you’ve had to deal with cause of me….and im sorry for ...well that night. It’s too complicated for you to understand but-“

"What do you mean it’s too complicated? It’s too complicated how you nearly killed me?!” I said with tears stinging my eyes as they ran down my cheek, leaving a wet trail. He looked down at his shoe and shoved his hands into his pockets.

“Zacky answer me!” I yelled frustrated from all of these confessions. Frustrated from all these tears. I hated crying. It showed signs of weakness that people fed off of. People like Zacky. He looked up slowly and his sparkling green eyes were uncertain. I closed my eyes briefly to try to shut the tears inside but when I opened them moments later, I saw a pale face and the most mesmerizing green orbs piercing my hazel eyes. Those eyes were gonna be the death of me.
Oh how right I was.

“Don’t be scared…” he whispered softly while trailing off.
Within seconds his lips were on mine, and his hand went up to my face and held it gently. His lips felt cold against mine, but it warmed me inside. The cold metal of our snakebites collided and produced a tingling sensation on my lips. My eyes closed as he stroked my cheek with his thumb, and i found myself kissing him back. As he pulled away slowly, I didn’t know how to react.

“Don’t be scared Bee…” he repeated warmly, and he smiled. A genuine, infectious smile that almost brightened the room and made me want to smile back at him. Not too soon after I was smiling back at his now vibrant face. But a wave of indecisive feelings swept over me and I closed my eyes and faced my head towards the floor. I bit my lip before saying something I would regret later.

“Zacky…just leave now” I said in a quiet whisper, as I turned by back to the door and heard it close sending an echo screaming through the walls of the empty house.
A single silent tear trailed down my cheek…

(Krystal’s PoV)

I screamed inside my head as I sat on my couch watching Fuse.
“Im so fucking bored.” I groaned. My brother and his friends were in the den failing at guitar hero and I laughed as I heard the sound of the guitar screeching, and the people booing. I decided to call Bee so she could come hang out so we can terrorize the children of the neighborhood together. I Dialed Bee’s number and waited for her to pick up. After the 5th ring or so, Bee picked up and said “hello?” im a sad, shaky voice. I immediately knew something was wrong. I got pissed fearing for the sake of the person who fucked with Bee when I was done with them.

“Bee what’s wrong?” I asked in a very concerned voice. Bee rarely cried, I’ve actually never seen her cry so it was only natural for me to be very concerned.

“Krystal I need to tell you guys something. Can you call the rest of the girls and tell them to come over? She asked quietly sounding like a scared little girl.

“Okay, we will be right over.”

(Bee’s Pov)

I sat down and waited for the girls to arrive.
After about 5 minutes I heard a car stop violently with a screech. The knocking on the door was soon followed by a loud

“Its US!”

I got up to open the door. And the girls flooded in. Sasha was the last one to enter, and she was holding a bat. I tried to stifle a laugh.

“Who the fuck did it.” She said while rearing up the bat, ready to strike. I couldn’t help but laugh at her tactics, but who was I to say, I would have been using that bat right now.

“Im Serious.” She said.

“That’s why it’s funny dude.” Jade said.
Well sit down and I’ll tell you guys what went down earlier.
They immediately took seats, but Vicky being retarded, missed the chair and landed on the floor. I stifled a laugh while everyone else cracked up.

“Bee,” she said while rubbing her thigh, “Don’t you have to tell us something?”
She said desperately trying to focus the attention off of her. Ill spare her soul this once.

“Yeah well after I quit practice today, I got home soon after, and I put the keys on the table. When I went to turn around, I saw Zacky standing In front of the closed door. I didn’t know what to say so I just asked him what he was doing. He started telling me about how he was sorry and how he didn’t mean to hurt me, and I wouldn’t understand why he did it. So I yelled at him and said if he doesn’t understand how he nearly killed me. I hate to cry but I ended up crying in front of him and felt weak. But he came up to me and whispered “Don’t be scared.” And then he kissed me for about a minute. I didn’t know how I felt and I needed advice so I kicked him out and called you guys.”I rambled, taking a large breath after.

Everyone’s mouth dropped and their eyes widened. Sasha even dropped her bat.

“That’s, Well….wow!” Vicky said

“I don’t know what to say.” Jade said.

Neither do I, but I kind of liked it. I don’t know if I should get involved with zacky, but there is still something not right about him.

“What do you mean?” Vicky said, and everyone’s expression seemed to ask the same question.
“Well, the night when he attacked me, his eyes were changing colors rapidly as if he were deciding between anger and something else they seemed to flash. He lifted me pretty fucking high when he grabbed my neck, and after he whispered in my ear, he vanished into black smoke. And lastly when I ran, I felt the smoke again as I fell, then I passed out and woke up in my room. I think Zacky definitely has something to do with this shit, but I can’t figure out exactly what.

“Maybe he’s a creature!” Krystal said in a spooky voice, and wiggling fingers.”

“I highly doubt he is, it was probably just special FX or my imagination or something.”

“Bee get real,” Sasha said rationally. “Special FX right out of nowhere?” There is definitely something wrong if you ask me.”
I looked around and everyone’s eyes were on me except for jades. She seemed deep in thought, and after a while a serious look came about her face. She finally spoke.

“Guys, what if he… what if Zacky, is a vampire?

“Bitch, you crazy!” Krystal said as she looked to face Jade.

“No, guys just listen. You said how his eyes changed color and shit, and how he was really strong. When you explained what happened today, you also said that he just appeared in your house. And when he kissed you, he was cold. Think about it, I may not be right, but I could be.
We all saw how serious she was, and the non-believing grins melted off of our faces.

“Guys, you don’t think…” I said in a small voice.

Their mouths went into “O’s” almost in realization, and they slowly nodded.

If zacky knew I was scared then, I was terrified now.

(Zacky’s Pov)
Shit… I fucked up badly. Why did I have to kiss her and make an ass out of myself? I knew she enjoyed it, or at least I thought she did. But why would she turn away from me. I’ve been rejected once before, but nothing has ever made me want to go back like I wanted so badly to return to Bee.

I remembered quickly that I had to stop by Brian’s house, but I had already somehow ended up a block away.

“How the hell did I-” I began to say, but I laughed and shook my head. I walked up the walkway to his house and before I rang the doorbell. A minute or two later Brian opened the door in his boxers and a wife beater smoking a cigarette.

“Sup man, he said sleepily.”

‘I got to talk to you its important.” I said urgently
His face seemed to tense up and a serious expression overtook his face.

“Is it about …her?” He asked, his expression now showing confusion.

“Yeah” I said while looking down. He stepped aside, letting me into his house. I sat down on the leather couch in the living room. He put his cigarette on the ashtray on the table and sat down in his chair.

“So what happened when you talked to her? Did you talk to her in the first place?” He attacked me with questions.

“Yeah, I told her that I was sorry for all the shit I’ve caused her, but when I brought up the memory of the night when I basically attacked her, she began crying. I never knew I hurt her that bad, and now that I know it kills me until I know she has forgiven me. I said that she might not understand now but she cut me off. She closed her eyes trying to keep more tears from coming, and then what happened next happened so fast I could barely think it through. I leaned in and kissed her, but she kicked me out. I think I fucked up bad dude.”
His eyes widened towards the end but a knowing, and serious look soon overtook his features.

“Zacky, I’ve been thinking, and the reason you attacked her was probably because her blood calls to you and you want it, but the reason you kissed her, and you think about her all the time is because, she really is the one you love”. I looked at him and I couldn’t help but laugh when he said “the one” and I was left thinking about it for a while. But soon everything clicked and I was brought to realization; I dropped the cigarette I reached for.

“You must be kidding me.”
