The Ones Left Behind by K Lime (best e reader for academics .txt) 📕

comes back and takes our orders. Conversation flows back and forth while we wait for the food. When it arrives we eat quickly. The waitress brings the bill but David stops her.

 

"Are you the new girl?"

 

"Yes sir."

 

"We never pay. Ask your boss."

 

The girl looks at him before turning and walking into the office. She comes out a few minutes later and smiles.

 

"You all have a nice day. Miss Rose said stop by again."

 

"Tell her she knows we will."

 

We all get up and head to the cars. At the doors, Tobias and Mandy bump into us.

 

"Excuse me." Mandy's nasally voice cuts through the air.

 

"Excuse yourself bitch." David snaps at her as he holds the door for Sam and I.

 

Tobias glares at us. I have no problem returning the glare. David steps between us and looks down at Tobias.

 

"I strongly suggest, boy, that you watch yourself."

 

With that David sweeps me into his arms and turns his back on Tobias.

School Sucks (my life away)

After the close encounter in the resturaunt this morning David is even more protective than i expected him to be. Of course there were the rumors that he was only protecting his new food source but that didnt bother me too badly. I stand up from my place at the table next to David. He looks up at me quickly.

 

"Where are you off to?"

 

"Gonna go talk with Chloe and Connie about how the campaign is going."

 

"You silly student leadership kids. Have fun." Sammy calls cheerily.

 

"Be safe. I'll meet up with you in second hour." David says kissing the back of my hand.

 

I smile and nod before walking over to the 'popular' table and sit next to my friends Chloe and Connie. Excited to see me, the two girls quickly launch into conversation about the campaigning for school offices. Chloe was running for Class President with Connie and I as her vice presidents. Even though it is only the third week of school the campaigning is going full swing. The one thing I must say I love about having friends in every group and class would be that i'm never alone and I always have ears everywhere. Funny that I never heard of Tobi's deceit...

 

The bell rings to signal it is time to head to first hour so we wrap the conversation up quickly and head in separate directions to our classes. David is smart but he doesnt bother applying himself so he heads off to take his manditory classes that are on the normal level with the rest of his gang minus Sam. Sam and I are both on the fast track to college so we are off in the direction of the highest level classes our school offers, college courses. It isn't easy having math first thing in the morning but it isnt so bad.

 

The class picks up where we had left off but my mind wanders off. I think of David and other things such as revenge on Tobi through class but nobody notices.  The professor assigns us work after his lecture and there is a rustle of noise and students move to take down the assignment onto their own papers. I had been paying enough attention to get my notes before starting the assignment. Starting the assignment would prove pointless as we had very little time before class was over so I quietly put my things away and wait patiently. As if to prove me right, the bell for dismissal rings out and everyone scrambles to put their things away.

 

Already prepared, I stand to leave only to be stopped by an angry looking Tobi. He takes my arm none too kindly and tries to pull me to the door. I am only a half vampire so his much stronger strength overpowers me with relative ease. He starts to drag me through the hallway ignoring the odd looks people are giving him and he finally stops after wandering through a maze of deserted halls and into a storage room in the basement. He throws me into the room and quickly locks it behind us with a key before he hides the key. I glare at him defiantly and cross my arms.

 

"Well well, I bet you think you're so smart bringing somebody like David into the equation don't you? You think he will be much better than me? Why are you suddenly with a vampire like him?" He growls angrily.

 

"Why are you suddenly with a human? Decide you need a new blood bag?" I shoot right back at him.

 

He growls in anger and flashes his fangs at me. I dont outwardly show my fear but inside I really want to know where this is going. Like yesterday.

 

"A new blood bag? I am assuming you don't know then?" He looks at me with a lifted eyebrow.

 

I raise an eyebrow in response and give him my continue on look. He smirks at me before pulling his fangs back in and sitting down.

 

"I turned Mandy when you broke up with me. I had no reason to keep her a human after that. You wouldn't hurt her as a human but I didn't trust any of your friends not to leave her intact. There is no way any halfie like you could take on a full vampire so I turned her to keep my assets safe so to say."

 

"And you're dragging me into a empty storage closet to gloat?" 

 

"Ah no, sadly Mandy seems to be happy sleeping with others. It's only fair that I enjoy the same privilages, but with somebody I desire of course."

 

His fangs slip back down as he stands and quickly has me trapped under him with his fangs buried into my neck. I struggle against him but he is much stronger and I am quickly losing my strength with every mouthful of blood he steals from my neck. As I feel myself beginning to black out I cry out for David knowing that i'm at the mercy of a monster.

 

Meanwhile with David

 

I finally reached the college level math class that Kry is in to see a very few amount of students inside. I look around for her but I dont see her anywhere. Angel, a sweet little human walks up to me boldly.

 

"Uh David?"

 

"Yeah Angel?'

 

"Tobi came and drug Kry off after him a little bit ago... I dont know where they went but he looked angry and she didn't seem happy about going with him." She tells me nervously.

 

"What way?" I ask her feeling my fangs slam down with my growing anger.

 

She points down the hall and I begin walking in that direction asking a few people if they had seen Kry. A couple of people just pointed and others didn't know. I let out a growl and think as I walk. What could he want with her...Suddenly I stop and look towards the stairs leading towards the older parts of the building that were off limits at the moment. If he were to take her anywhere it would be there. I start off that direction as I go I list off places he could have went. Coming up with no wonderful ideas I stiff the air for emotion. Fear and anger stand out and I follow them until suddenly I smell blood. Not just any blood, its Kry's blood. As a coven leader I can call for my coven and I call for them all telling them if they can to get to where I am.

I follow the smell until I am met with a key to key lock and the sounds of sex. One sided sex. Rage fills me and I slam into the door until it busts down under the weight. The door slams into the now partially dressed Tobias. I look between him and the girl laying on the floor. Her beautiful tanned skin is ashy white but smeared with blood. Her chest has bloody bites covering it and dried blood covers her neck and shoulder. I see red with anger when I see the inside of her thighs covered in blood. She wasn't a virgin anymore so that was an obvious that he had hurt her. She is unconscious but breathing. I growl at Tobias and he smirks at me.

 

"What's wrong big guy? Take something you wanted? Shes not a virgin anymore so how exactly do you expect to be with her?"

 

"You fool. You act as though you are high and mighty. You see the blood and assume she is a virgin but you don't care. She wasn't a virgin anymore. You hurt her."

 

"She had one more place that was a virgin then. I know you didn't touch that."

 

I pale slightly and look down at her prone form. The blood covering her exposed thigh was bad and there was still some trickling from her opening. I long to flip her onto her stomach and assess just how much damage he did but I look back at him sensing Sam near. Tobias grins wolfishly before kicking her leg. The force is enough to cause her to roll a little bit giving me a little better view of how badly the situation is. I know if I fight Tobias I will kill him and he is too afriad to fight me. 

 

"Get out." I hiss angrily at him.

 

At his arrogant smirk I slam him into the wall and sink my fangs into his neck draining him of blood as quickly as I can. I leave him just enough to survive before shoving him out the door. He runs fearfully just as I expected. I wipe the blood from my lips and drops to my knees beside Kry. Any movement of her legs causes more blood to pool at her wounded sex. I risk moving her legs in order to roll her to her side. He hadnt been gentle with her in the least and the bloody torn openings were proof. I feel for her pulse and sigh as I feel it beating against my fingertips. It isn't strong but it is there. I hear a strangled cry and I look up to see Marko and two others holding back Sam. She looks ready to faint.

 

Her best friend is dying in my arms and there isn't much I can do to save her. I sink my fangs into my wrist and hold my wrist to her lips massaging her throat to make her swallow.

 

"David what are you doing?! You'll turn her!" Sam screams at me.

 

"Don't you think I know that!" I yell back at her fighting tears.

 

Turning Kry wasn't what I wanted at all but I couldn't let her die. I cradle her to my chest as I continue to feed my blood to her. Her pulse doesnt change and I begin to worry. I allow the skin on my wrist to seal itself as I cradle her into my lap. Tears flow from my eyes as I hide my face in her silky hair. My coven stands in the doorway with Sam crying against Marko. We are watching one of our best friends die and we know there is nothing we can do. My blood isn't enough to save her. Her body cools even more and blood ceases to pour from her damaged body.

 

I lift her into my arms and carry her
