"You're took me off school grounds?" I mumbled looking up at Ascelin.
"You never been off of school grounds?" He asked looking down at me.
"Not without permission, no," I said. I watched as his eyes turn to confused wondering why I probably need permission, but I didn't say another word. We shouldn't be doing this anyway, I could get into trouble if I get caught, "we shouldn't do this..."
"Do you trust me?" Ascelin asked pulling me towards him wrapping his right arm around my waist.
"What?"
"Do you trust me?" He said and I let out a stiff laugh.
"I barely know you," I mumbled glancing up at him.
"Are you sure?" He whispered placing the back of his cold hand on my warm cheek and I sighed into his touch. Something flashes in my eyes...a flashback or something. I gasped when I realized that the flashback was set in the middle of the winter season, snow was everywhere as I look around at what looks like a forest. Apparently I was in the mind of a little girl who was crying, she was alone in blizzard ice cold. She was scared as we start hearing strange noise around us. I felt my heartbeat quicken when the scary sounds start coming closer.
"Who's there," the little girl whispered.
"It's me, my love," her eyes turned around and I see him...Ascelin.
"Hahhhh," I breathe coming back to reality as I quickly look up at Ascelin, "what was that?"
"That's what you need to remember," he said running his hand down my cheek and my mouth parted feeling very confused.
"Remember? You know me from somewhere don't you?" I whispered and he smiled.
"Do you trust me?" He asked again.
"For some reason, I do," I said. Who was that little girl and why was Ascelin there? Why did he show me that? He said that I need to remember something, referring to the vision I don't know who that little girl was or the story to that flashback, but to tell you the truth, I don't know what he's talking about. Who is Ascelin King and what is his interest in me. One thing I do know is that he does seem familiar and somehow I trust him, which is weird, but I do.
"Then close your eyes," he whispered closing my eye lids, I kept them close feeling his left hand run up my arm and over my shoulder then neck making me shiver before covering my eyes.
"Breath" he whispered in my ear turning me around so my back faced his front, I slowly took a breath, "ok, we're here."
"What?" I mumbled moving Ascelin hand off me to see that we was outside in front of a huge mansion.
"How did we get here so fast....where is here?" I asked turning to look up at Ascelin, but he just grabbed my hand and lead me up to the mansion.
"This is where we live," Ascelin said referring to the creepy squad.
"Wait, you don't live at the academy?"
"No, sweetheart," he said pulling me into the beautiful mansion where you see two staircases on opposite sides leading up to the second floor. The decor and antiques was beautiful.
"Lovely," I said admiring the house, "why did you bring me here?" Ascelin came up behind me wrapping his arms around my waist, burying his face deep into my neck.
"Ascelin," I gasped placing my hand on his. His touch was so comforting and soothing that I want to stay like this forever. He's the only person I feel that didn't judge me from the beginning, besides Sydney. Heck, I think he made it clear to everyone that he has interest in me, which I can't figure out why?
"Why me, Ascelin?" I mumbled.
"You might not know or remember me, Rose, but I know you very well," Ascelin mumbled into my neck sending chills down my spine and before I could react another vision popped into my mind.
(Flashback )
It was the same girl but older sitting on a couch and this time I was watching it from outside her mind. The girl looks to be ten years old, she was smiling up at someone, but I couldn't see who it was. Love! Is what I see in her eyes at whoever she was looking at. Curiosity went through my mind wondering who the girl could possibly love so dearly. Then I start to really look at the girl to find her looking familiar. 'Who is she?' I thought as the vision began to slowly span out to show that she was holding what look to be a boy's hand. Until it showed the two people cuddling up on the couch and that's when I realized who the girl was.
'That little girl is.....me!' I thought before my eyes went to the boy and my heart completely stopped when I look to see who it was.
'Ascelin!'
(End of vision)
I quickly turned to look at Ascelin like he was a ghost. I have met him before, not once but twice, when I was the little girl and when I was older...but I don't remember that, why don't I remember it. I look down at Ascelin hands and placed mine in his and immediately I got a familiar feeling.
"Hmm," I mumbled closing my eyes trying to remember, but nothing comes to mind, "who are you?"
"You still don't remember?" Ascelin said placing his hand on my face and I lean into his touch.
"I can't remember, but the vision...it was you and me and I...I..."
"Loved me?" He said and I slowly nod my head.
"Who are you? Why can't I remember you?" I asked feeling tears following down my face.
"I'm sorry, Rose, this was to early. There is a lot more things you needed to know first before this," Ascelin said kissing my forehead.
"What?" I looked into his eyes to see his eyes turning redder than usually. I watched how his eyes looked between my bare neck and my eyes and I looked up at him confused, "Ascelin?"
"Rose!" He said burying his face into my neck and that's when I felt something sharp hit my skin and I gasped.
"Vam...vampire," I gasped gripping on to Ascelin arms but I couldn't pull away from him. Ascelin is a vampire, a vampire...that means the rest of them...oh my gosh! I slight scream of pain left my lips as I felt Ascelin pierce my skin slightly on my neck drawing a little blood.
"Stop me!" Ascelin growled but I couldn't, my body wouldn't let me.
"I don't want to," I groaned at the sensation when he licked the blood that was running down my neck.
"Damn it," Ascelin growled pulling away from me taking a few steps back. I look up to see his fangs and my blood dripping from his lips.
"Why am I not scared?" I mumbled up at him. There is a freaking vampire in front of me right now.....wait, I quickly slap myself making sure I wasn't sleeping and having a dream, but nope, this is real. Ascelin is a vampire, a blood thirsty vampire.
"I'm sorry, Rose," Ascelin said whipping his mouth, when he put his hand down his fangs was gone.
"I think I'm about to pass out?" I said then darkness took over me.
