The Moon`s Shadows - Ashley Kielak (free novel reading sites .txt) 📗

I awoke screaming in my bed with strains of long burgundy hair sticking to my forehead at four in the morning. I felt the presence of someone there staring at me and watching me carefully. I sat straight up and took in my surroundings. There in the dark corner of my room stood a guy maybe about eighteen years old. He had short black hair that was styled to look messy.
“Danny, what the hell are you doing here,” I had little bursts of chills run down my body,” you know I can`t handle the felling of someone watching me sleep I freak out,”
He smiled and walked closer to me,” that’s what I hoped for,”
When he was close enough to hit I punched his arm. He laughed and rolled his eyes at me.
“You shouldn`t be here what if you get caught,” I glanced around the room out of habit.
He shook his head,” I won`t get caught all the monitors for your hall are busy with the head honcho,”
I gave him a look of distaste. I slid out of my bed and hugged him. He laughed silently to himself.
“What?” I asked
“Nothing, I just thought you were mad at me,” he had a huge sarcastic grin spreading across his face. That smile only made him look dead sexy in the darkness. I rolled my eyes at him.
“You know I can`t stay mad at you,” I was becoming irritated with his joking tone. His smile stayed there and he returned the hug.
There was a sudden knock on my room’s door,” Elizabeth, we would like to speak to you,” a woman with a full British accent spoke through the door. I signaled Danny out of my room but he just concealed himself and became silent. I rolled my eyes then spoke,” just a moment,”
I slipped a pair of lose shorts on and pulled a sweat shirt on over my tank top. I walked over to the door of my room. I opened it and looked out. A dorm monitor and a few of the schools protectors were there.
“What`s wrong?” I asked. Their faces seemed as if they had seen a ghost. None of them answered me right away. They all looked nervous to tell me,” What is it?” I almost yelled.
One of the protectors, I think here name was Lily, calmed down enough and made eye contact with me,” We’re sorry to have to tell you this,” she said fear glinted in her eyes,” but Johnny Salazar has been let out of juvenile hall and is enrolled back at the academy he is starting back here next week,”
I froze, it was as if Sub-Zero from Mortal Kombat had just swooped down and froze me with his ice. Even my breathing stopped, I think I also felt my heart skip a beat. The last time I saw Johnny was when he tried to rape me. I `bruised` him and that stopped him from doing it but the cops still took him for attempt.
I fainted and Danny, being the good boyfriend, caught me before I hit the floor. The others we relieved that I wasn`t hurt but immediately surprised to see Danny there. The dorm hall monitor began to grow angry. Danny stood me up and took a few steps back and smiled like a teacher’s pet.
“Mr. Salvatore you know that you are not allowed up here,” the hall monitor said an angry look crossing her face. She slipped her slim arms down her black silk t-shirt so her hands were on her hips. She slowly started to tap her foot in an angry motion. Danny stood there silently trying to find an excuse but he knew he was caught.
He just gave up and said,” I’m sorry I wasn`t thinking, Mrs. Davon,”
I saw her eyes grow a little bigger at the thought of a student remembering her name. Mrs. Davon was one of those staff members that you just would say miss or hey to everyone forgot her name. I don`t know why it`s not that hard to remember.
She let her big black eyes refocus on what the problem was. When she came back to us out of her train of thought, she seemed terrifying with those huge black eyes, long red hair, emo makeup and clothes(not over board like teens but just enough so people no you’re out there), and striking features.
She cleared her throat and made eye contact with the male protector that had been standing there the whole time being silent like he was supposed to be. He nodded and moved past me and stood before Danny.
“You know the drill, kid,” when the guy spoke it sounded like the angels of sexy hotness had landed. I felt my eyes widen slightly and I saw jealously flash in those beautiful black eyes of his. I flashed an apologetic look his way before they left, then I asked:
“Why were there three people?” my voice was a little shaky still. My eyes became shifty and my stance became protective. In the back of my mind I knew that everything was okay but the rest of my mind was off the hook.
