High School

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela turns to Emery, and with her free hand she turns his face towards her. "You won't lose me again, Emery." She says and gently rubs his cheek with her thumb. "That's a promise." She puts her hand down, but doesn't turn away from him. Instead she studies his eyes, noticing his reaction to crying. "It's a terrible feeling, to cry. Though, sometimes there are tears of joy."

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery smiles and puts his finger underneath Leelas chin and tilts her head back up to look at him. "I won't leave you, okay?" He whispers and strokes her cheek with his thumb like she had done to him. "I cant live without you. I..." He smiles and shakes his head slightly, he wasn't going to finish that sentence.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"I love you." She says, before standing on her tip toes and pressing her lips to his. So many feelings went through her, her heart pounded in her chest. It felt like that was where she belonged, right there with him. She didn't mean to let those three 'little' words slip out of her mouth, but before she could stop herself they came rushing from her lips.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery is shocked that she was kissing him, and even more so that she had said she loved him, and his hands raised up to her head. His hands were in her hair and he kissed her back passionately. He didn't want the kiss to end, and he wasn't sure when he should end it. His heart was beating faster, his stomach tied in knots, how did she have such an effect on him?

 

[HappyBeingMe]

The kiss lasted for minutes, but it felt like hours to Leela. Finally when she had ran out of breath she pulled away slightly and smiled. "I'm not sorry." She says, and smirks. It had been perfect, the way she had always imagined her first, well second actually, real kiss. She still couldn't believe she said that she loved him, it's not like it wasn't true or anything, but she just didn't know if it was the right time to say it.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery grins, his heart beating at human pace and his stomach feeling so fluttery. He pulls Leela closer and kisses her forehead, "I love you too," he whispers. He might as well say it, it was true, and she had said it to him. He would have done anything to kiss her again, but instead just held her closely while he traced patterns on her back with his fingers. Everything felt right, as though they were just two people who loved each other, and not runaway vampires and werewolves who had a forbidden love.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

It felt so amazing to hear him say that. Leela's hands connected with each other when she wrapped her arms around him. Everything was perfect, and there wasn't a single thing she would change. "I feel like a fucked up version of Romeo and Juliet." She jokes, and presses her forehead against his chest, which was the only part of his body that she could reach without standing on her tiptoes.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Just don't fake your death or anything," he laughs slightly and rests his head on the top of hers. He strokes her hair, and for a moment he is silent before he smiles and begins to quote something he had read in a book once; "Love, you dealt a bitter blow – you lay me cross the mortal plains, bedewed, bedimmed amongst a show of tearful clouds: eternal rains to weep at my enduring foe of harsh reality – searing pains of destiny: dependable propensity, to fool myself repeatedly, that I could ever triumph over love." His voice was quiet but he said the quote in such a way that suited quotes perfectly.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

((The site like, went down or something for a long time.))


"That's beautiful." She says, a sigh escaping her lips. She was to awkward to be romantic like that. Instead of some romantic quote she scans her brain for a good song, and she finds what she thinks is the best one. She starts humming softly to the song Give Me Love by Ed Sheeran as her grip tightens a bit around Emery's torso.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery laughs slightly and hugs her tightly, he kisses her forehead, and then her cheek, and then her lips again for a moment before a grin spreads widely across his face and he kisses her neck, he pulls away and smiles at her, then realises how hungry she actually must be. His smile fades and concern is shown clearly across his face as he pulls back and walks over to a drawer in the kitchen. He opens it and pulls out some money.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Almost on cue Leela's stomach growled. She puts her hands over it and growls back. "To be continued." She says as pulls a wallet out of her suitcase, it was her dad's wallet. She had left his ID and credit cards back at the house, so that they wouldn't be traceable, and just grabbed all of the money she could find. Which was around six hundred dollars that her dad was saving for a rainy day in a place that he thought nobody knew about. She sticks the wallet in the back pocket of her short and smiles at Emery.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks at her funnily, confused for a moment. "I don't know anything about food or shopping so... This is all entirely up to you." It was true that he'd never done anything himself, he had servants for that and he usually drank blood instead of eating actual food. He walks over to his boots and puts them on, before he looks in the mirror. There were purplish bruises around his neck and his wrists had gouges and dark bruises. His had a black eye and a bruised cheekbone, his hair was slicked back by sweat. He needed to shower.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"No worries." She says, then walks up to him. She looks at his reflection, and sighs. "They really did a number on you, didn't they?" She asks, his bruises sticking out like a dalmation's spots.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"It's not a big deal," he laughs and looks at her own cuts and bruises. "We look like we've been in a domestic," he smiles and wraps his arms around her waist, kissing her cheekbone. He didn't care about his bruises, he would do anything for her.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela's arms make their way around his neck and she smiles up at him. "True, if so I kicked your butt." She says and she leans up to kiss bruised cheek gently. They looked so beat up, as if they were running from something. They were, though, they were running from their past.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery pouts at her, "Kiss my butt." He taunts, then kisses the tip of her nose, before he picks her up and wraps her legs around his waist, he walks over to the kitchen and sits her on the kitchen counter gently. He leans his head in close and kisses her lips softly for a second, trails his kisses down to her neck, he kisses her there playfully, before an image flashes before his eyes of blood all over Leela's neck. He steps back quickly, his hands on her knees, biting his lip. (Sorry im getting on the plane now!! ))

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela hops down from the counter and smiles at him. She kisses him, then grabs the bag of chips she had. "Alright." She says simply before eating a chip and sitting down on the bed. She pulls her legs up and crosses them, smiling over at Emery happily.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery looks confused for a second before he leans against the dining table. "What do you know about vampires?" He asks, genuinely curious about what Leela had been told. If it was as little as he knew about werewolves then there was a lot to tell. He walks over and sits next to her on the bed before laying back and pulling her down with him.


((Longest plane ride ever ))

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela licks the salt off of her lips and thinks for a moment. "Well, my dad always told me that they wouldn't hesitate to drain somebody of their blood. He also says that they're pretty much all attractive, which is kinda true. He also said that-" She pauses for a moment. A flashback coming to her mind.


"Stay clear of all leeches, or you'll end up like your mother."


"Yeah. That's all that. Uh, that's all that he said." She says, her mind overflowing with different things she's heard over the years.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery smiles and doesn't believe her for a second, but he doesn't pester her about it. It seemed that vampires and her family were a touchy subject that he should definitely avoid. "You don't know much about us then," he laughs and strokes her hair, tucking it behind her ear. There was a lot he could tell her about vampires, but he didn't know where to begin. "Just like I don't know a lot about werewolves."

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela smiles back at him and sighs. "Well there aren't a lot of interesting things about werewolves," She starts tapping her chin with her finger, "Some run in packs, some would rather be loners. Dad and I, well we were each other's pack. He said that mom and him were going to have a lot more kids and we'd be a big family." She says and another sigh escapes her lips. "You already know how we change, and you already know that I can hear and smell pretty much everything." She adds, she honestly didn't know a lot about her species either, so she couldn't say a lot of things about it.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Emery nods, chewing the inside of his cheek. He wished that Leelas family were still alive, he wished vampires didn't take them away from her. "Vampires have clans. They're usually families but sometimes it can be non related clans. My clan was my parents clan but, now I'm a lone wolf." He laughs a little at his choice of words. "We can turn other people obviously, but not in the way you think. It's not a bite that does it, its exchange of blood."

 

[HappyBeingMe]

"That sounds incredibly unpleasant." She says, one of her eyebrows raising slightly. "Lone wolf, nice one." She adds, then props herself up with one elbow, facing Emery. "So, the movie Interview With A Vampire (if you haven't seen it, it's amazing), is it accurate?" She asks, remembering the movie like she had watched it yesterday. The way Louis turned the little girl was he bit her, then the other guy fed her his blood and she turned into a vampire. It was a pretty good movie, even if her dad yelled at her for watching it.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

(Love that film )


"Yeah, yeah that's actually pretty accurate. As long as you don't exchange blood the person wont turn into a vampire. But you don't have to bite them, they have to be dying and then fed vampire blood." He smiled at her and reached out so that he could stroke her cheek. He did that for a second before he continued. "But then you can also be born vampires, like I was. Humans cant have vampire children, vampires can. My parents had a lot of children but..." He starts, remembering his other siblings.

 

[HappyBeingMe]

Leela smiles and places her hand on his chest. "Family, it can be wonderful," she pauses thinking of her father, "but sometimes deadly" she lays back on her back and stares up at the ceiling. "Very confusing."
