A Vampire Story part 4

For the rest of the day all I could think about was Tobias. He invaded my mind in Algebra 2 and made it impossible to learn about Saturn's many moons in astronomy. Finally the last bell rang summoning a reaction much like Pavlov's dogs. Finding a way out of the rushing crownd,I stopped at my locker and found a note from Liz.1

Hey babe,2

Just wanted to say good luck with reverend Joe tonite,3

Incase you forgot report cards were sent out today. 4

If you're still alive I will see you tomorrow.5

Call me6

Peace my love,7

Liz8

"Shit!" I had totally forgotten about the report cards.9

I had a D in math, an F in French and a C in English. Infact my best grades were in art and poetry, both of which I was getting an A. those classes however, don't count to reverent Joe.10

Now I was really glad I had suggested showing Tobias around, I could prolong my trip back home and the fury that I knew would be there, for a little bit longer. 11

As I walked outside it surprised me how dark it already was. Even for February it was darker than it should have been at 3 in the afternoon.12

The moon was already shining brightly, showing another three or four days till it would be full. I shivered although I wasn’t cold, and headed over to the willow. When I reached the old tree I noticed that Tobias wasn’t there yet, so I pulled out a sketch pad and decided to wait. The light form the moon was enough to draw by, and I started sketching a face. It was a girl's face, big innocent eyes, small cute nose and full lips. I would have judged her to be around 14. There was something very compelling about her eyes. They seemed to be calling to me, asking for help.13

I had had this problem before, being sucked into my artwork, but not like this. I had a funny feeling that I knew this girl, that my life was somehow connected with hers. As I was released from the pull of her eyes I noticed a shadow falling across the paper. I turned around and Tobias was staring a t my drawing the same way he had looked at me when I read my poem. He looked angry, sad and confused.14

"Hey" I said, trying to get his attention.15

He didn’t say anything, and just kept staring at the girl.16

"Are you ok?" I asked getting worried about a boy I hadn't even known for 24 hours yet.17

He snapped out of his trance and looked at me.18

"Yeah, I'm fine" he said19

"Alright then let's go"20

We walked out form under the weeping willow and into the darkening night. 21
