Promise?
The wet sticky stuff dripped from above. Blood? Of course. She ventured in farther. The deeper she went in to the old abandoned building more it groaned and creaked. But nothing was worse than the cold snow that fell from the solid grey sky. A burst of wind came rushing through lifting up her skirt making it flow all around her. A creak from the level above her sent her scampering just in time as the ceiling fell through the level she was standing at. Scared and still cold she decided to endeavor it. Why am I here? Why could I just go back the foster home? They weren’t that bad. Another gust of wind had her shuddering. Couldn’t be worse she thought as she continued into the house hoping to find something or someone. I know there are vampires in here I seen the blood.
“Hey parasites!” I called out not really expecting to get a response out of them. But when the chair down the hallway moved I hastily spun. A figure emerges out of them shadow’s.
“what would your mother say if she heard you insult your family?” he alleged. I scoffed at him.
“what family? My mother is a lowlife whore who couldn’t afford kids but isn’t willing to keep her legs closed!” I screeched at him. I hate talking about her nothing good ever comes out of my mouth when it involves her.
“ ahhh so you don’t know who you are.” He smirks. I look at him not knowing what he means I decide to get on his good side.
“ no I don’t could you show me?” I ask in my most flirtatiouos voice. I bat my eyelashes as he looks over me. The hair on my arms raise as his mouth turns into a devilish grin that looks oddly appealing on him. I’m attractive I think long dark hair,green eyes framed by kitten lashes there so green they stop men In their tracks. I quiver as his eye’s run back over my body stopping at my chest.
“Now why would I do that?” he says as he takes slow precise steps. I take a step back and say
“Because I asked you to.” And with that he stiffens.
“ damn witch!” he says as he turns away. I stand there in shock, he’s crazy! That’s the only explanation I come up with is crack. I know vampires are real and I know witches are to but me a witch? hahaha yeah crack.
“are you coming?” his yelling sounds far away. I start my journey up the creaking staircase. If I fall through I swear I’ll kill you. Right before I make it to the top the stair under me collapse’s leaving my leg torn into pieces.

She’s crazy, She eccentric and more powerful than she knows… and beautiful. Her green eye’s held me captive as I came back to see what happened. I think the crash woke everyone up in the house. I almost laugh out loud when I see her on the ground half way through the stairs. Then I smell the blood. There was a lot of it pouring through her shredded leg. I look down and see the tears in her eyes and the thought of her crying makes my heart quicken in anger. I bend down and look into her emerald eyes. Quickly slipping her bruised arm around my shoulder I haul her back up onto her feet. The sight of her leg makes my stomach churn and I’m normally good with blood. This wasn’t just blood; skin was barely hanging on to the muscle flopping back and forth as she moved.
Promise
Oh god my leg! Shredded and bloody. The vampire came back probably because he smelled the blood. This time he was nicer and also looked like he was about to throw up. Weeny I think until I look down an actually see my leg. Skin was barely hanging on the muscle and oh god here comes my lunch as I feel the vomit start to come up my throat. As it pours out of my mouth and nose I feel the skin flop back and forth.
Wiping the vomit off my face I look up to see his face next to mine. Suddenly self-conscious of the way my breath smells I turn away and hide my face. Well now I need to go to the hospital. Though I really want to find out what he was talking about I’m worried about bleeding to death. Even just standing here I looked down and found that blood was starting to pool.
Jace
Wow I look down at her leg and see it’s well healing! No way is she a normal witch. The most experience witches can’t even heal this fast! I pick her up and carry her the rest of the way showing all the vampires watching that she’s mine. I stop myself. Mine? Where did that come from. I drop her on my bed not caring about the blood. The attraction I feel for this girl is ridiculous! I’ve known her for all of five minutes and our first words to each other were insults. It’s because she’s a witch it think if she can heal that fast she can probably do other things like mess with me. I scowl at the floor not buying my excuse.
