“Hey Lyra! Come on!”  Flora yells, appearing on the other side of one of the super tall rose bushes. There is know way she is that tall! She is using her powers, I realize, I will too.  Jumping up I fly over the little hedge, and land on the ground as she makes the plants put her back down.  She is smiling like an idiot.

“So,  Sebastien told you guys.” I note, and she nods. “You aren’t mad.  I add, and she shakes her head.

“Lyra, we understand, you spent two years with the guy. Even though it was a lie, but still. It’s going to be hard to not see him, especially if he likes you!” She links our arms, I let out a long breath. Thank god, she isn’t mad … although maybe some of the others feel differently. Like Sierra and Frederick.  Oh well, I live with those two being mad at me. She leads me out to the basketball court in which everyone is gathered again. Does everybody live here or something?  “Lyra, thinks we all hate her.”  Flora says,  once we’re close to the group. I reach over to smack her, but then again. It’s okay. I should just get this over with.

Everyone, accept Sierra,  bursts into laughter about it and jumbled words all come at me at once. Good they aren’t mad!  I smile in relief, laughing along with them. Then I sit and join in on there conversation. They were talking about boys, yes even around Sebastien, Chase, and Frederick, I laugh at some of the stuff Chaston says, because I know she is in a relationship.  I’m happy Sierra and Frederick aren’t hiding their relationship anymore.  Maybe, I will fit in here, and have a good time. No more needing to worry about only having Elijah! Moving on to the topic of what everyone wants for lunch as I sit here eating a gusher every couple minutes. Being around my friends is making me feel like a teenager again, always being around adults made me a little high strung. Accept Elijah, he makes me feel just plain alive!  I shiver runs through my body, jeepers just thinking about Elijah does that do me now. Must be from yesterday, and the whole scene we had in his room.

“You cold?”  Janessa asks, and a small fire ball appears in between us.  I  move back it makes since now why I don’t like fire, I have the power of ice. Forming a snowball, I throw it towards the fire and  the fire puffs out, and then some water falls to the ground.  “Nice aim.” She replies, smiling at me. I smile back. Turning my head and looking at Chase and Frederick who are playing one on one.   “Holy shit, some hickey ya got there!” Janessa says standing up, and getting in my face. She moves my hair, showing everyone.  “Look at this!” She smiles pointing. I try to move away her hand. Sebastien knew what is was, I bet a couple other people will too!

“Hey that almost looks like… wait! That is a vampire bite!” Flora stands swatting Janessa away, so she can get in close. Looking at it expertly, I try to move away from her. She knows, and she might spill her guts!  “It’s a bonded bite! How? Who?!” She screams shaking me. Now all eyes are on me. I gaze at everyone a second, stopping at Sebastien. He isn’t happy.  “Spill it Lyra Castir!”  She keeps shaking me. I close my eyes, thinking. Should I tell them? I should, but am I ready for it? I should talk to Elijah about it.

“What is it?” I play dumb stalling, and they all scoff at me, yeah that didn’t work.I scratch the back of my neck, and Flora looks at it closer.

“It’s even fresh, within the past 24 hours!” Flora goes on. How does she know all of this!? I stand under the look of everyone still. I’m so in for it now. Avoiding everyones eyes, I look towards the castle, spotting Elijah, standing and obviously listening. He isn’t hiding or anything, he must’ve been walking out here for something, but stopped listening in the conversation. He scratches the back of his neck, and I role my eyes. He is reading my mind right now too! Little turd. He looks up at me, and I can imagine him rolling his eyes! He starts walking again, but I stay sitting unsure if he is coming for me or not. Even if he is coming for me I don’t want to seem to happy to go with the doctor even though that would be a highlight to my day!

“Dr. Drake?” Sebastien says first, and Flora backs up from my neck. I move my hair over it to cover it now. “What can we do for you?” He asks.  

“I actually need to borrow Lyra, for a second if you don’t mind.” He says, keeping his eyes off me. I stand up, sighing. Walking away with him, we stand a ways away and whisper. “Sorry. I forgot about the mark.” He whispers, moving my hair and looking at it. His touch making me shiver,  as we lock eyes.   “You’re parents want me to start tests on you. Although I don’t know how much testing will be done.” He smiles.

“My memories.” I rub my brow,  I wonder what he thinks about it? I know what Sebastien thinks.  Elijah puts both his hands on my face, looking me in the eyes. “Sorry. I just wonder what you think, and I know what he does. It just comes up!” I whisper.

“Lyra, I love you. I don’t care you have your memories or not.” He says, and my knees almost buckle. I almost jump on him and attack his face, but then I realize  the group is probably still watching.

“Can we go take some test?” I ask, wanting to get out of their view.  He smiles mischievously understanding what I really want.

“I think you should tell your friends.” He says, dropping his hands. I sigh, and nod. I glance at them, Chaston is watching intently. She knows.  “Chaston knows.”  he says, I don’t know he read my mind or hers.  I nod anyways.

“Yeah, I’ll get on that.” I say, “Let’s go do some tests.” I sigh, waving to them. Then I walk behind Elijah trying to get rid of some suspicion, as if I’m following the doctor to where ever where going.  Following him to his bedroom, I wonder what he will all have to do for tests. I mean, obviously stuff like cat skins or something. Maybe he will have to knock me out and like explore my brain! I shiver, freaking myself out. Once we are in his room, I lose focus. We’re in the bed room, where he drank my blood! Why did he bring me here? I thought we were really going to do some tests! Sitting down on the chair, while he paces around the room.

“I don’t know if I want to do the tests on you.” He said finally says, I cough unsure how to reply. “ I like you the way you are, and I just I don’t know if doing the tests will hurt you…” He trails off.

“You’re scared, my feeling for Sebastien will take ver from before!” I realize, and he stops rambling.  I’m right.  “Oh dear lord! Elijah Drake! Come here!” I stand up curling my finger at him.  He doesn’t move, he is embarrassed!  Walking over to him, I stand up on the tips of my toes wrapping an arm around his neck.  “Elijah, I  love you.” I say, and then I blink in surprise. I just said that.  “I chose you.”   laying my lips lightly on his. Then I lay my head on his chest. He squeezes me, and we stand here like this for a while.

“Lyra…” He sighs, letting go of me. “You are just so….” He stops, and I’m left wondering what he was going to say.

“Elijah.” I sigh, and he looks down at me.“Just kiss me already!” I whisper and he laughs, doing what I said.  Only this time no holding back, forcefully and hungrily, we kiss. I push him backwards towards the bed, already untucking his shirt.   I whimper under his touch, as his hands run over my butt. Stopping at my hips, he pulls my rear end in closer to him, and I start grinding my hips.  He groans, biting my bottom lip a little. My body tingles as his hands lift my shirt inch by inch, massaging small small circles into my skin with his thumbs.  He stops right under my bust, and I reach back pulling, my shirt over my head, breaking our kiss.  I toss my shirt on the floor, joining our lips again. My fingers work quickly unbuttoning his shirt, and then I push it over his shoulders, showing his chest.  God he is beautiful, moving my hands over his chest and abs, I can feel the tension in his body. Why is he tense?  I  break apart from him looking him in the eyes.

“Elijah why are you so tense?” I ask, stopping my hands on his chest. I’m in my bra… first time a boy has ever seen me this naked, and I still have pants on of course, but hey, My top half is naked accept my bra Which I’m happy, I picked up my only nice black lace bra. It’s not slutty or anything, it’s just my only nicer bra other than sports bra’s and normal solid color ones.

I just don’t want to lose you again. Ever.” He says. I smile, watching his eyes. God two years having no clue where I was must’ve been really hard for him!  “I’m scared you’re just going to disappear again.” He admits.  I bury my face in the crook of his neck, smiling like an idiot.

“You won’t, I promise.”  I whisper placing my lips on his neck. Wrapping his arms around me, he holds me tight, and kissing the top of my head. Leaving a trail of kisses up to his mouth again, we engage into a passionate and heated kiss. Holding his face, my grinding motions begin again.  His hands move to the small of my back, pushing us together more. Kissing his jaw, and roaming his front side with my hands, feeling his muscles,  I realize again what I want to happen. He knows too.  I want to do this with him, I know it’s right, and I know it’s going to happen.  Kissing him, one last time, I put my mouth next to his ear.  “Bite me!”  I beg, and he doesn’t hesitate this time. Sinking his teeth right in, the all to familiar feeling (already) flows through me. I  take in a sharp breath, moaning from the pleasure.  God, it feels so good, I wouldn’t think you could feel this way if I didn’t feel it myself.  Biting my lip, to try and keep myself quiet. I lay my forehead on his shoulder,  breathing heavy and  getting excited. In between my legs, is getting wet and aroused!
