![]() Chapter 11A Chapter by Amy BakerI was sitting in Zach’s living room when someone knocked on
the door. Everyone was out hunting and I was alone in the house. Zach didn’t
tell me that there would be any visitors so I was confused as to who was at the
door. When I got up and went to the door, out of the window I saw Sarah. I went
to the door and opened it. “Sarah, what are you doing here?” “I’m here to help you with your blood lust. Zach sent me.” I
shook my head. I already hurt her once. I couldn’t hurt her again. “Katie,
look. I know that you don’t trust yourself around me right now. But you need to
learn how to be able to trust yourself around humans.” I just kept my eyes
closed and took deep breaths like Zach and I have practiced. “Sarah, I can’t hurt you if you don’t come in so please
don’t.” “Katie, you can’t keep yourself locked in here. Zach said
that it will draw questions. If you can learn to control yourself around me
since you already fed from me, you can control yourself around your family.” I
sighed. She was right. I nodded and let her in. I went to the kitchen and grabbed a blood bag from the
fridge. “Katie, you probably shouldn’t..” “Sarah, if you want me to not kill you, you are going to
have to let me have some blood while you’re here.” She nodded. I had to admit
in the weeks I have been a vampire I have noticed that I’m a little more
irritable lately. Zach said that it’s just the hunger trying to fight itself
out.
“So
how are you feeling?” Sarah asked. I understand that she’s trying to get her
best friend to come out but honestly, I don’t think her old best friend is in
here anymore.
“Honestly,
I feel pissed off. Jenna made me feed on you all because she can’t have this
damn power anymore. I just want to kill her.”
“Umm,
Katie.” I looked at her and she was pointing to my hand. I realized that
without thinking about it, I broke the glass that had my blood in.
“Sorry,
I’m still getting used to how strong I actually am.” She just came over and
helped me clean it up. “You
will get through this. Don’t worry.” Just then Zach and his family came in and
saw that I broke a glass.
“I’m
sorry.” I said. Zach just laughed and shook his head.
“You
wouldn’t believe how many times I broke mom’s favorite glass.”
“Which
one?” His mother looked at him with her eyebrows raised.
Zach
came over to me and kissed me. “All of them Mother.” That’s when everyone
laughed. “We would rather you break a glass than break someone’s neck.” I
nodded and headed upstairs and went into Zach’s room.
Zach
followed me into his room. “What is it?”
I
sighed and threw the one end table across the room. “Jenna, is getting in my
head. All I can think about is killing her and how much I would enjoy killing
her.” Zach just looked at me. “I know you said that our emotions are heightened
but right now I feel like mine are on overdrive. I didn’t even know I broke
that glass until Sarah pointed out.” I threw the table across the room again.
“Feel
better?” Zach asked. He came over to me and wrapped his arms around me.
I
closed my eyes. And took a deep breath. “Now I do.”
“Listen
to me. I know the transition is hard especially with Jenna getting you to feed
on your best friend. You can’t keep it all bottled up though. That’s how you
hurt someone. I’ve broken everything in this room probably more than ten times.
If you feel like you need to break something, you can just come up here and do
that. Okay?” I nodded.
It
took about a month, but I was finally ready to go back to school with Zach. We
got to the school and everyone was looking at me like I’ve never been here
before and I was a new student. I didn’t realize that the transition to
becoming a vampire not only affects me on the inside, but I guess it also
affects how I look on the outside. I was really nervous about what I would do
so I looked at Zach and he just grabbed my hand and nodded. He was trying to
tell me that everything would be okay. So, I took a deep breath and continued
to walk to the school. I finally got my blood lust under control when I was
around Sarah and then I had it under control when I was around my family so we
thought that it would be good for me to go back to school. Zach’s family
thought that it would be good for me to get out of the house and stop hiding
form Jenna. I wasn’t sure though. I didn’t know how everyone would react and
how my temper would be with everyone at school.
The
first half of the day seemed to go smoothly. Nothing really seemed to be of
major concern until lunch. I went out to meet Zach for lunch and instead of
meeting Zach, I was met my Matilta. “Matilta, what are you doing? Where’s
Zach?”
“Oh
Katie, glad to see that your transition to vampire hasn’t changed that crazy
obsession that you have with your boyfriend.” She rolled her eyes. I knew that
she has never gotten over Zach and I knew that she was jealous of me for being
with Zach for as long as I have.
“It’s
not a crazy obsession Matilta.” Zach and I have been figuring out this power
that I have. We didn’t want to worry about me getting all crazy and accidently
using it on someone that I don’t mean to worry about it. I started to focus.
Matilta started choking. “I’m going to ask you again. Where is Zach?” She
continued to choke until I let off a little bit of slack for her to answer me.
“Wow,
that power really does work.” She said in between her coughing.
“Do
you want me to use it fully?”
“Relax.
Zach is just running late in class because I compelled his teacher to run the
class late.” I stopped chocking her.
“What
do you want?” I asked. I was tired of her games and I wasn’t going to put up
with it anymore.
“Jenna
sent me to see how your transition was going.”
“Why?”
“Why
does Jenna ever want anything? She mainly wanted to see if you had figured out
how to use your power. Now I can tell her that you have and you know how to use
it on vampires.” She’s so obsessed with this damn power. Then Matilta just
left.
Zach
came out to the courtyard and saw me standing there. I must have looked pissed
because he ran up to me and asked me what happened. “Matilta compelled your
teacher to run class late and found me to find out if I figured out how to use
my power for Jenna.” I never looked at him. I was so angry that I was afraid
that if I looked at him then I would do something that I knew that I wouldn’t
want to do.
“Did
you use the power on her?” He put his hand on my shoulder. I knew he was trying
to get me to calm down. I slowly looked at him.
I
nodded. “She wouldn’t tell me where you were.” He pulled me in and kissed my
forehead. We continued the day as if nothing had happened. Something about
using that power on Matilta though made me think that possibly that I could use
it on Jenna. I finally had a way to kill her. © 2017 Amy Baker |
