From a distance...

From a distance I saw him, I knew he was of creature blood...and then he came over to me...

From a distance…..

 

 

From the distance I could tell it was him. He was dressed in dark clothes but his skin was pale white. When he smiled you could see his canine teeth were sharper than normal people. His hood covered most of his face. One day I walked into him and ended up falling over. I wasn’t scared but my ankle was sprained. He stared at me for a moment his eyes emotionless then suddenly his eyes seemed to come to life.

“Are you alright?” Jasper asked worriedly.

 “I’m fine.” I lied.

Jasper seemed to tell I was lying and helped me get back to my feet. I refused to put weight on my left ankle. I limped down the hallway away from Jasper but Jasper quickly followed after me.

“You’re hurt, why did you lie to me?” Jasper asked softly.

 “Nobody ever cares about me so why should you?” I said quietly.

Jasper frowned before he asked,  “Why do you say that?”

 “My parents and brother abandoned me.” I said.

“How?” Jasper asked.

 “They died.” I said.

 “I’m sorry about that.” Jasper said.

 I shrugged.

 “Well if they’re all dead then who do you live with?” Jasper asked.

 “I’m homeless. I try to stay at many people’s houses and steal their food while they’re sleeping.” I admitted.

“You want to come to my house, I have food.” Jasper asked.

My stomach growled loudly.

 “Sure, if you don’t mind.” I said softly.

 Once the bell rang I walked with Jasper to his house. Jasper gave me all access to his fridge. I ate until I felt full. Suddenly Jasper’s dad came into the kitchen.

 “Who are you?” his dad asked.

 I stayed quiet. My eyes turned colors and ended up orange.

 “Your eyes…they changed colors.” His dad said.

“They tend to do that.” I said simply.

 “What are you?” his dad asked.

 “A veela.” I said.

 “What’s that?” his dad asked just as Jasper came into the room while reading a book titled creatures in London.

“A veela is a magical creature that is protective over the people they care about, will kill for their soul mate’s safety. They can be easily angered. If found their said mate then the pair will become immortal.” Jasper read aloud.

Jasper’s father sat there in shock.

 “Do you know what we are?” Jasper asked.

“Yeah you’re a vampire.” I said simply.

 “Yet you come home with me?” Jasper asked.

“Yes because I can be scarier than you.” I said.

            Jasper suddenly pressed a light kiss to my lips making me conscious of the allure I had accidentally released. I sighed in content against Jasper’s lips causing Jasper to smile.  This was the beginning of a sweet relationship.
