Lost Dreams Chapter 16 Howie slowly became aware of his surroundings. He could hear people whisper and he smelled blood. He bolted upright. He could smell blood. He looked around. The people he had heard were standing at least twenty feet away. He didn’t see Nina anywhere. ‘Nina?’ He asked. ~I am right here~ He looked around. ‘I can’t see you.’ Howie scanned the whole room but Nina was nowhere. ~I am inside you Howie. You are mine.~ Howie sat down. ‘I am hungry.’ ‘Let’s go and eat.’ Howie swirled around. ‘Alec?’ ‘Yeah I live here.’ Howie looked confused. ‘So you are a…’ ‘I am a vampire too.’ Alec reached out her hand. ‘Come on. Breakfast is served.’ Howie took her hand. ‘But why can’t Nina take me?’ Alec started laughing. ‘You nearly sucked her dry. She needs time to recover. And I am 348 so I am the oldest.’AJ sank to his knees at Krystle’s grave. ‘He is gone, Krys. My best friend is gone.’ AJ felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up. ‘Kathy!’ He got up. ‘You have been crying.’ He nodded. ‘My best friend killed himself for a girl. I found his note.’ Kathy hugged him. She could feel his veins pound in his neck. She softly whimpered. ‘Would you kill yourself for a guy?’ Kathy smiled. Isn’t that what she done all those years ago? ‘I have to love him a lot to do that.’ AJ lifted her chin. ‘You are remarkable, you know that.’ Kathy stared in his eyes. AJ leaned in close and kissed her. Kathy sighed and pulled him close. She hadn’t kissed someone in nearly seventy years. Suddenly Kathy pushed him away. ‘What? Why?’ Kathy turned around. ‘Kathy?’ He grabbed her shoulder and swirled her around. AJ gasped. ‘Are you al right?’ Her eyes were bright red and he could have sworn her teeth were not that long before. Kathy pushed him away and ran. ‘Kathy wait.’ AJ saw her run. ‘Damn.’ He slammed his fist in the ground. A small silver thing caught his eye. He picked it up. ‘Kathy, 1737.’ AJ looked in the direction she had run away in. ‘Something weird is going on around here.’Aaron ran up stairs and pushed the doors to the balcony open. ‘Leave him alone.’ He yelled. ‘Don’t take away my friends.’ ‘Aaron?’ He saw his girlfriend standing in his room. ‘What?’ ‘Why are you yelling?’ He stepped inside. ‘God you are blond.’ Steph sat down on the bed. ‘Why are you so mean to me?’ Aaron ran his hand through his hair. ‘I saw Hannah today.’ Steph looked at him. ‘Hannah is dead.’ Aaron was in front of her with two steps. He towered over her. ‘Hannah is not dead. I saw her this afternoon. I even kissed her.’ Steph yelped and ran out of the room. ‘That was so rude Aaron.’ He slowly turned to the balcony. ‘Jess, could have guessed you would show up.’ ‘Somebody needs to keep an eye on you.’ Aaron sat down on the bed. ‘Why me? Why did she choose me?’Next: Chapter 17 |
