A Vampire's Touch

Chapter 12 ~•Shattered•~

~•Chapter 12: Shattered•~

Graces POV

I sit down at my usual spot at the dinner table. Cameron comes and sits beside me. I start to eat but I couldn't help but feel that something is wrong and out of place. I feel like someone else other than Cameron is supposed to sit beside me. I ignore it and keep eating.

When I'm almost done, a maid comes running in the room.

"Sir William! Something's on fire in Ethan's room!" she says with concern in her voice.

Everyone gets up and runs towards Ethan's room with their vampire speed. I run as fast as my legs can go. I go up the spirally stairs and go into Ethan's room. For some reason it feels so familiar, but not at the same time.

I see everyone run in his closet and opening a door in it. There's puffs of smoke coming out the door.

I look to my left to see a messy bed and a bunch of drawings on the wall. I look closer and realize they are all of me.

What? Why me? I don't even know him. I feel a weird sensation creep in my stomach. I walk out his room to bump into Ethan himself.

"Sorry," he mumbles.

"Why do you have drawings of me?" I ask.

"Uhhhhh," says Ethan a bit taken aback.

"Well?" I say.

"You wouldn't understand."

"Oh I must understand, I have the right to know why you have drawings of me. I don't even know you!"

The shock on Ethan's face is plain in sight. He stares at me like he's broken hearted.

"I-I just like drawing," he says

"Well next time, don't do them of me," I say and walk away.

Ethan's POV

I watch as Grace walks away after saying she doesn't want the drawings of her. My heart shatters into a million pieces. I always thought that people were over reacting about heart breaks, but you will only understand when it happens to you.

I can't do this anymore, I don't want to live. I walk into my room, everyone's gone now because they took care of the fire.

I snatch the pictures I drew of Grace on the wall and I start to rip them. One by one I destroy them and rip them in pieces, just like my heart. My heart is like the pieces of paper I rip. it feels shattered!

"Ethan calm down," says Cameron.

I turn around and glare at Cameron.

"I can't!"

"Listen to me, just calm yourself. I need to tell you something."

"I can't calm myself Cameron! Not after what dad made me do to Grace! Do you know how it feels? Do you know?!" I yell.

"Listen Ethan, ju-"

I use my speed and quickly grab Cameron by the throat and throw him on the wall. I keep him pinned to the wall, my hand wrapped around his neck.

"You don't know how it feels when Grace looks at me like I'm nothing! You don't know how it feels to see her everyday, and her not knowing what we went through together! She thinks I'm some kind of creep drawing pictures of her! She hates me! And it's all dads fault!"

"E-Ethan! I-I ca-can't brea-the!" Cameron chokes out.

I quickly let go of Cameron's throat and look away towards my bed.
