Beauty Within Her Dark Eyes

Chapter 7

- Max -

I sat in my bed and tried to finish my chemistry homework. My mom opened the door to my bed room and peaked her head in.

"Ambers here..." she whispered and I raised my head. I raised an eyebrow at her and she smiled.
"I invited her to dinner. Come on" she sighed and I rolled my eyes, but got out of bed. I followed my mother down stairs and I seen Amber, she was wearing a blue sleeve less dress that is mid-thigh. Her hair was in a bun and she was admiring my moms plants.

"Amber! You look gorgeous" my mother gushed making Amber smile. Then she turned and looked at me. I smiled back at her.

"You look really pretty" I said as I walked up to her. Her cheeks turned red and she smiled showing off her white teeth. She bucked her head then looked back up at me.

"Let's eat" she said and grabbed my hand pulling me towards the kitchen. Her touch sent shivers down my spine. "don't be such a girl, Maxwell" she said and looked back at me. I shook my head and started to laughed. She stopped in front of me and held both my hands.
"Her touch sent shivers down my spine". She mimicked my voice. I rolled my eyes and smiled down at her. Her eyes turned purple as she looked at me, making me smile wider.

"We should eat" I whispered and she nodded. She blinked a few times and let go of my hands. Her eyes returned to normal. I stepped into the kitchen to the smells of what my mouth had been cooking.

I laid on my bed and Amber was in n her phone, she looked over at me and smiled a little. She then stood and pulled at my arm.

"What?" I laughed sliding up and she sighed and rolled her eyes giggling.

"Dance with me" he demanded I just nodded and stood up. She set her phone down after playing some music, it was accually kinda good. "Roslyn by Bon Iver & Vincent" she stated and wrapped her arms around my neck. I rested my hands on her waist.

"I like it" I smiled and she nodded. She was accaully a good dancer, I guess she would have learned threw out her 200 years.

"I know. I heard" she laughed and I just swayed us back and fourth. "Why do you have to be so handsome?" she asked and I looked down at her. She was admiring my face, her eyes scanned over me.

"Why do you have to be so beautiful?" I asked and her eyes finally locked with mine. She was truly beautiful. The way she treated people. Her heart mostly, even if it wasn't beating.

"Maxwell, Thank you" she said and her cheeks were a light pink. The song stopped and Amber untangled her arms from my neck. We parted from each other.
"I have to go." she said and frowned. "my brother will come looking for me" I nodded and she walked up to me.
She leaned in and kissed my cheek. Then left my room.

School was a drag but I was really excited because Amber would be at my moms work today.

"Hey!" I heard from behind me and I started to walk faster. Not today.
"Come one turn around wimp." he said and I stopped when an hand was wrapped around my wrist.

"Please just leave me alone" I stuttered and he and his friends laughed. Patrick and his two dumb friends had been beating me up for years, bullying me.

"Please..." he mimicked and then he gripped my collar and slammed me against the brick wall.

I was on my way to get Max from school, I was pulling in and my eyes turned red. Angry was boiling inside. i dont know why though. Every thing was fine.

I saw what had me so worried and angry. 3 boys were beating Max up.
I instantly jumped out of the call and rushed over to them. They looked at me and laughed.

"Look who's here to save the day, a little girl" one laughed and I just smirked at him. He smile went to a expression of fear when my eyes turned black.

"Your turn" I growled and the turned to run away but I already was chasing them.
I drained them in the matter of 10 seconds.

"Maxwell." I whispered to myself and I ran over to him. When I reached him, his nose was bleeding and his eye was starting to swell.

"Hey..." he managed to say with a smile. I laughed at him, he's so cute.

"Maxwell, lets get in my car before we start to chat, yeah?" I laughed and he nodded and I helped him off the ground.
