Memories...
Analise POV
"Ha! That's funny." I say walking and sitting back on the ugly bed. It gave a little squeak when I flopped down.
He watched me the whole time; actually now that I think about it he hasn't taken his eyes off me. I wonder who he is or better yet why I'm not afraid of him.
Taking a moment to analyze his features I come to the conclusion he's hot. He's tall and muscular in an athletic way. The stubble on his jaws coupled with his dirty blonde hair falling over his eyes definitely added to the hotness.
He slowly raked his hands through his hair still keeping his light brown eyes on me. My stomach clenched with a desire I've only felt for one other person; Jace. His name in my head immediately brought me back to the problem at hand. Oh right I'm in a strange room with a hot guy in some else's body. Well make that crazy hot guy because he did after all just say I'm a vampire.
"Okay" I say standing back up breaking eye contact. "Here is what I think happened. The last thing I remember was walking on that dark creepy road. It was really bumpy so I must have fallen and hit my hard. Voila! Here I am now in some weird dream. Sounds good right?" I finish waiting on him to agree with my theory since his was ludicrous.
He steps closer to me shaking his head. He doesn't stop until he's right in front of me. His strong masculine scent washed over me making my mouth water and my eyes close in delight. Mm he smells delicious.
"You need to feed" His deep voice snapped me out of it and I took a step back to clear my head
"You just said I smelled delicious and your fangs extended." He continued.
Oops didn't mean to say that out loud; how embarrassing. I catch the rest of what he said and I touch my finger to my teeth but they feel normal to me. What is with this guy, he's totally loopy.
"Look umm..." I say holding my hand out to get him to offer up his name. "Seb" he says when he catches on
"Okay Seb, I'm Ana and you need to stop with the crazy talk. Vampires don't exist!" I end throwing my hands ups. Geez this guy is going to give me a migraine in my damn dream.
"First they are real. Second your theory is wrong. And third I believe because your transformation was so unusual your memory of the incident is taking longer to come back." He says summing it up so nicely he should have put a bow on it I think sarcastically.
However, I'm not in the mood to argue this anymore so I change the subject.
"Seb how about you smack me so I can wake up and get my fat ugly body off the ground and figure out what's next in my runaway plan" I say pinching the bridge of my nose to calm myself.
"Fat and ugly?" he asked with his brows furrowed in confusion. I sigh dramatically. I forget he doesn't know what I really look like
"Yes. My true body is fat and ugly so don't get used to this. Wait what I'm saying once I wake up you'll be gone anyway" he opens his mouth to reply but the door bursting open ended that.
The door banged against the wall with a loud boom!
In waltz the cockiest guy I have ever seen. How can I tell this? Well he doesn't make it hard with the lazy smirk he wears. He walks in like he owns the place. Although he isn't bad to look at with his dark eyes, buzzed cut hair and neatly shaved face. He is about the same height as Seb but Seb is slightly bigger. Not by much though. He walks right up to me and slowly rakes his eyes up and down my body. The way they travel my body make me feel very exposed in this thin gown.
"Excuse me? Can I help you?" I ask growing irritated by his eye banging
"Oh I can think of a few ways you can help me" he replies still staring at my fake body.
At this moment though this body I'm in feels very real to me.
"Talon! Enough" Seb said with a blank expression. Talon slowly turned from me to face Seb instead
"Watch your mouth human" Talon spat venomously.
This dream is getting stranger by the moment. Does this guy believe in vampires too? Oh gosh! He probably does. Leave it to me to dream up two equally crazy sexy guys. The two men faced off waiting for the other to make a move. I could tell they were both strong but something about Talon put me on alert.
"I'm starting to think I'm in a coma. This is too much for a normal dream" I say aloud more to myself than anything.
Somehow it cuts the tension and both men separate and turn to me. Great all eyes on me. Talon gives me a questioning gaze before looking at Seb expectantly.
Seb shook his head "She thinks this is all a dream and vamps aren't real. Apparently her final memories haven't surfaced" he offered as an explanation.
Talon turned back to me with an amused smile on his face before he burst out laughing. Both Seb and I watched him laugh like a mad man. Did I miss something here? Ugh I hope I wake up soon before this gets any weirder.
"That. Is. Perfect. Marcos is going to love breaking the news" his tone still hints at laughter as he walks back to the door. He gets the entrance before looking over his shoulder at me "Well come on he's expecting you" he says giving me his back again disappearing through the door.
I look to Seb but he just nods his head to the door for me to follow that Talon guy. This is the worst dream ever I think angrily stomping from the room.
The hall is enormous. The walls are decorated with various old paintings and the floor is carpeted in a deep red color. I see Talon at the bottom of the staircase watching me tapping an invisible watch. Man this guy is an ass. How did I dream up something so bizarre? I begin my descent down the stairs. I feel Seb behind me matching my slow pace.
We reach the bottom and Talon leads us to a big office. The desk is split in half but other than that everything looks perfectly in order. The way a big city CEO office would look except the shades are drawn and I have no clue if its day or night lights outside.
We stand in an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes. Talon has that smirk on his face again leaning against the far wall of the office. It's really starting to piss me off. He looks like he knows something I don't. He has three seconds to wipe that smug look off his arrogant face before I do it for him.
My emotions seem so heighted in this dream. Literally it seems as if I'm on edge and the smallest of things set me off. First my instant desire for Seb when I smelt him and now my simmering anger towards Talon. He continues staring at me and I narrow my eyes and glare harder. Three...two ...one... times up pretty boy. I take a step in his direction when the office doors open wide behind me. Damn he got lucky this time. I give him a promise with my eyes that this isn't over and the a-hole smiles at me.
A cold chill creeps down my spine. I stiffen knowing it was caused by the presence at the door behind me. For the first time since this dream began I feel fear. A part of me doesn't want to turn because the moment I do everything will change. Another part wants to know what's happening.
Slowly I turn on my heel. Coming face to face with a menacing looking man. His long dark hair reaches his shoulders and his all black attire triggers something in my memory. I get a mental image of something but it's too blurry.
A sharp pain shoots through my head. I grab it to steady myself; closing my eyes in deep calming breathes. Something about this man seems familiar. It's like my mind wants me to know something but I'm not letting go.
I raise my head to look at the man again. He is staring directly at me with this frightening smile on his face. Deja vu hits me like a ton of bricks. This has happened before. But when? I shake my head to clear the jumble thoughts when he speaks
"Hello again fat one" his voice freezes the air in my lungs.
The roaring in my ears is deafening. That voice I know that voice.... Suddenly a collage of images attacked my mind. The suddenness of it all brought me to my knees. I open my eyes but I'm no longer in the office.
I see flashes of an old house...
Basement...
And...And...
A girl....
Blood... there's blood on her....
Eyes...
Black eyes are watching me while white fangs sink into her neck.
I scream in horror. Please stop!!!
The scene changes again. I'm on my back. The black eyed man is saying something then he disappears...
A wave of fire engulfs my body...
I scream in agony as loud as my lungs will allow.
Seb Pov
Seb waited impatiently for Marcos to arrive. It's been several minutes since they had been summoned here. He stood on the right side of the room wanting to be the opposite of where Talon stood. He casual looked to Ana in the middle of the room. He almost laughed out loud at the death glare she was giving Talon.
Guess she wasn't too fond of him. Imagine that! A girl not falling all over the infamous Talon. Seb enjoyed the ironic moment even more when she took a calculating step in his direction. Wow is she going to hit him? He wondered. Considering the look she was giving Talon he was sure that was the goal. Unfortunately the show was cut short as Marcos finally decided to arrive.
Seb noticed instantly that her body stiffened when she caught his scent. Her eyes closed in concentration as if she were battling something intensely. The men all watched curiously as she slowly turned around to face Marcos. Marcos lips instantly curled up in a crude smile mostly likely from the fear and recognition in her eyes.
"Hello again fat one" Marcos greeted in his usual cold voice. Ana out of nowhere dropped to her knees mumbling words that couldn't be understood. Talon stepped off the wall approaching her.
"Guess it's working" Talon stated as they continued to watch her. She opened her eyes but had a faraway look to them like she was no longer in the room with them but lost in time.
"What's working?" Seb asked wanting to know what he was talking about.
She screamed and fell on her back panting hard
"What's happening?!" Seb asked more demanding this time. Talon raised an eyebrow at him
"Marcos was her trigger. She's remembering her change. Sad really, her mind is probably tricking her into feeling it too" Talon ends looking down on her withering form.
Marcos had left the room to talk a call and when he came back he had a few more guards with him carrying tranquilizer guns.
"Her screaming is annoying me. Take her out" Marcos ordered.
Seb hesitated for a second debating if he should interfere. On one hand he didn't want to show he cared and on the other he didn't want her to be knocked out. They don't know how that would affect her with her being so unusual. She let out another scream and one of the guards stepped forward aiming the gun right at her chest
"Stop" Seb said before he could contemplate any longer on the consequences of his actions. "I'll take care of it" he finished. He kneeled down and gathered her shaking body in his arms.
"Ana snap out of it. It's not real anymore" he said tapping her cheeks lightly. He was aware all eyes were on the two of them but he couldn't allow himself to get distracted. She needed his help and that's all that matters.
"It's burning! Please make it stop!" she pleaded with everything she had.
It ached to hear her so broken and in pain. But he needed her to realize that it's just a memory. Doing the only thing he could think of he clutched her tightly against him. She tried to wiggle loose but he needed her to feel his warmth against hers. To feel something real. His heart beat perked up at their closeness. Seb kept talking in her ear. Telling her it was alright and the pain is over.
"Ana come back..." he whispered low enough for her to hear. With a room full of vampires he wasn't certain if they could hear too.
Ana began responding to his coos. Her breathing slowed to a normal pace and her body stilled in his arms. She relaxed into him snuggling even closer. Seb cursed himself because he enjoyed holding her like this. He was aware of their audience so he began to coach her awake. All too soon those beautiful bright eyes met his.
Seb couldn't look away. It was like they held him in a trance. For the first time in twenty years Seb desired something other than freedom. The realization snapped him out of her spell. He hardened his gaze. Her face fell a little by his sudden change but she quickly masked it
"Well looks like you made yourself useful Seb" Marcos said in a condescending tone. Ana eyes snapped up when he spoke. When she saw Marcos her orbs drained of their blues, replaced with a fiery red
"You!" she yelled pointing at Marcos. Seb didn't get the chance to grab her because in a blink of an eye she leaped from his arms tackling an unsuspecting Marcos to the ground...
