Evan…Wednesday…
I stared at myself in the mirror. My vines were still wrapped around my shirtless body despite my countless efforts to hide them. I had injected myself with the serum given to me by Dr. Fred. None of them worked in my favor and my eyes only turned red. My fangs were protruding and I suddenly decided to give up trying.
I laughed out and it sounded evil to my ears but I didn't care. I don't really know what happened. I just can't give an account of it but I believe I had accepted the dark side; my darkside. The side I had tried to resist but hopelessly couldn't do that anymore.
I sighed and picked up my shirt to wear. I was different now. I felt this way ever since it recorded in my mind that I could never be happy. I was just a toy. Logan Howard used me, my foster parents despise me, they want me to get married to the only daughter of Heracles, my real parents would probably use me too and the guy I loved so much loves a girl I take as a friend. I feel so jealous. I really want to hate Sheridan but I just can't. I just have to give up on Jinx and live my life in pure darkness and blood lust because that's all I feel right now.
I really want to have blood as my breakfast this morning so I didn't leave for the cafeteria. Maybe I should have Daphne or better still, Chartreuse. Her blood tastes heavenly.
I really can't overlook the urge. I believe now that Daphne was wrong about me calming down after having fresh blood. And I just don't want blood alone, I want it while satisfying my sexual urges.
I sighed and left my room. The darkness rolling in immediately I saw some students who probably didn't want to have breakfast, hanging around. I sighed. I really needed blood.
I walked towards the main building with my head bowed. I just wanted to lay low. I got to my locker which was perpendicular to that of Jinx, Sheridan and Chartreuse. I saw Jinx hugging Sheridan's waist. It twisted my heart and hurt my being when I saw Jinx and Sheridan share a passionate kiss. I looked away, feeling my sexual drive and blood lust building.
I picked my books and shut my locker with a loud bang which I am sure drew the attention of people to me. I headed to my first class, Biology. I shared this damn class with Daphne and Chartreuse. On my way to the class, I saw Daphne.
'Just the person I wanted to see.'
She walked up to me with a smirk on her face. She probably had something to say but I wanted her to save it till I was satisfied. If I can't be happy, the least I can have is satisfaction.
"Evan…"
"Save it." I coldly interrupted and pulled her with me by her wrist. She didn't protest. Maybe she knew what I wanted.
I pushed her into the locker room and locked the door behind me. She had a flirty look on her face but I didn't care. I pinned her to the wall and grabbed her by her hips. She didn't resist and even tilted her head to the side to give me access. I was about to sink my fangs into her skin but when I saw the ugly mark on her neck, my bloodlust disappeared. I pulled away, anger in my eyes.
"What is that doing on your neck?" I asked.
She smiled and licked her lips; "That was what I wanted to disclose to you last night and right now. You marked me the moment you bit me, Evan. You are now destined to me according the principle of mateship."
I glared at the mark and then at Daphne; "You really wanted to get married to me, didn't you? You just needed the perfect opportunity to do what you wanted? How did you know this would happen?"
"Maybe you are right that I knew this would happen. I have my ways, Evan. I never wanted you to begin with but after seeing you for a semester, I finally saw reasons why. I decided to use your blood lust to my advantage."
I sighed. Once again, I have been played. I shut my eyes, feeling the darkness crawl up to my brain and heart before I opened my eyes. In a swift move, I grabbed her neck, pinning her to the wall and raising her up. The darkness was so…sweet. I loved the darkness consuming my soul.
I smirked at her struggle and chuckled; "You are so pathetic, Daphne. I don't care about how you got that on your neck but I want you to get it off and stay away from me." I threw her to the ground and she gasped for breath.
She laughed but that contrasted the horror on her face; "You are strong, Evan. No one will accept you besides me. You will still run back to me one day, pleading for my blood because it will be the only thing that would be able to calm you down."
I glared at her hard but I also laughed. The darkness was truly bringing out the demons in me. I crouched before her and held her chin. The demi-goddess looked very scared.
"Let me tell you now so you would be informed. The very day I tasted your blood, I got tired of it early. All I am saying is, I love the blood of another." I smirked and stood up. The bell had gone off while I was speaking so I turned around and left.
The darkness was still around but I didn't care. I enjoyed it more than anything. I let down my hood but he vines stayed hidden under my big hoodie. I got to my class and walked in and towards my seat, ignoring all most especially the teacher.
The morning passed by in a blur and I walked towards Chartreuse's locker to pull her to the school clinic.
"I have to…" I grabbed her wrist, interrupting her sentence and ignoring Sheridan and Jinx.
"Evan…" she didn't continue her words maybe after feeling my aura "What's wrong, Evan?"
"We have to be at the school clinic." I replied hoarsely. I really had other plans. Other plans that my darkness wanted. It wanted to lock Chartreuse in the locker room and drink her sweet blood while making sweet love to her on the wall.
"Are you sure you are fine? Your skin is getting paler and your veins are bulging out on your neck."
I stopped when we were just close and looked at her. She must be so scared but hell, I wanted to do so much. Why? Why was I suddenly feeling like this for the girl I hated.
So ironic…
The one girl I had as I friend suddenly became the one I hated most and the girl I hated and couldn't stand was the girl I hopelessly needed.
I chuckled and I must look so insane before Chartreuse. I pulled her closer and buried my face in her neck not caring if there were students around. This darkness was consuming my mind too much and look at me who thought he was bent, breathing in the scent of a girl.
"Are you insane?" She yelled and tried to push me away but I kissed her nape which made her freeze.
"What have you done to me, Chartreuse Linnea Neon?"
