Chapter 2
Callista found Eric in the lunch room, she had tired to find him several times that day, she knew that she could trust him. Some how she knew that she could trust him.
“Can I sit here, Eric?” She smiled at him.
He looked up, noticed she had a tray, but not only that, he noticed her veins. He was starting to get hungry, and not a human hungry.
“Uh, sure. Where's Allan?”
“Um, he went out to lunch with the guys, I wasn't invited of course.” She grinned. “Well, he wasn't nice about earlier, he interrupted our conversation. So anyways, where were we?”
“You asked me if there was something you could tell me and I said you could tell me whatever you needed to.” He noticed her neck, and he almost groaned.
“That's right, are you alright, Eric?” She asked, concerned.
“Fine.”
“Well, last night I dreamed about my sister, Jolean. You remember her?”
Eric nodded, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a capsule, he stuck it in his mouth. Callista didn't even ask what it was, she didn't even question it.
“Well she keeps haunting me, I mean seriously haunting me.” She spoke quietly. “I hear her, when I'm sleeping, I hear her scream. Eric, I don't know what's wrong with me.”
Eric couldn't say anything, he placed his hand on her's, and he felt a tingle in his skin.
“There's nothing wrong with you, Callista.” He replied. “Callista, if you ever need to talk.”
“Hey, baby.” Allan sat down next to her.
Eric could smell perfume on him, that wasn't Callista's but could she?
“Allan, I'm trying to talk to Eric.” She shoved him away, lightly.
“Well, I need to talk to him, myself.”
Eric glanced at him, he didn't say anything. He stood, and watched as Allan stood too.
“Calli, if you ever need to talk, you just give me a call, I'll listen.”
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~**~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Allan and a bunch of the other football players surrounded Eric. Allan glared at him, and shoved him up against the wall. They were outside the school, and far away from a teacher's eyes.
“Look, I don't know who you think you are, but don't you dare become my girl and me.” He hissed menacingly at him.
Eric laughed. “Why not, it seems to me that you’re doing a pretty good job of that yourself. Oh don't look so shocked Allan; I know you've been with Jasmine. You can tell Callista that you where out to lunch with the guys, but I don't buy it. Jasmine's perfume is all over you.”
He shoved Allan off, Allan just snapped his fingers, the boys tackled him, shoved his face in the dirt. Eric wasn't about to let some human boys get the better of him. He grabbed the closest guys arm, and pulled him down, he twisted just enough. He could hear the snap of the other boy's wrist, the boy cried out in pain.
“Look, Allan, you don't want to mess with me.” He grinned showing off his pointed teeth. “I'm not normal.”
Allan backed away, the blonde boy was holding his wrist in pain, he knew it was broken.
“Allan!” Callista yelled. “I thought I'd find you back here. Eric, what happened?”
“Nothing, Calli.” He lied to her, and he knew she knew.
For some reason Callista didn't mind when Eric called her Calli, she actually thought it was kind of cute. She also thought that Eric was cute, sweet, and kind. For some reason she trusted him.
“Now tell me the truth, Eric.” She placed her hands on her hips, in a stance, one that said give me straight answers or else be prepared to hurt. “And what happened to Luke?”
Luke just looked at her, he didn't say anything. After all if she knew that he had been in on what happened to Eric, she probably wouldn't like him anymore, either. After all they had been friends for a long time, he hated the fact that Allan was cheating on her. That's all that Luke and Callista were, friends.
“Well, baby.” Allan was starting the smooth talk.
“Shut up, Allan. Don't call me baby!” She screamed at him. “You don't think I don't know?”
“Know what?” Allan asked innocently.
“About you and Jasmine, that's what. Don't play innocent with me, Allan. I know you're seeing her.”
Eric could feel the fact that Callista was getting angry, he could feel the sparks around her.
