Immortal (BxB)

Chapter 12 - Danger

I stared in silence. Shit. She obviously knew if I did anything right now I'd seem sketchy.

"So, you do know his secret!" She exclaimed, I panicked and put my hand over her mouth.

"Shh! Jesus do you even know when to shut the hell up!" I clenched my teeth as she rolled her eyes, I pulled my hand off her mouth. "What secret? He's just another schoolboy like all the other guys here. Have you been drinking or something?" I asked sarcastically trying not to look suspicious, I crossed my arms and stared at her. All she did was roll her eyes.

"You know what I'm talking about, Zane! There's a bite mark on your wrist, I'm not stupid. I know what vampires are and Xylo is one of the only ones left!" She said softly, exclaiming to me about this true knowledge to me. I knew she was right but if I told her I knew it shed have not only her evidence and knowledge but mine as well to more likely get Xylo locked up or killed. I sighed.

"I'm sorry Claire, but I don't know what you're talking about. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to rub my wrist under some water after you decided to brutally squeeze it to get my fucking attention!" I slightly yelled, storming off back into the bathroom, once the door closed I held my wrist and looked at Xylo. "She knows" I muttered, he obviously heard me because he was a vampire. I looked at my wrist, it was all red and slightly bleeding out from the holes Xylo made with his fangs. I walked over to the sink and turned on the water and put my wrist under the water, it strung but I acted like it didn't. Xylo eventually walked over to me and turned off the tap and very carefully grabbed my arm and pulled it away from the sink.

"You could just ask for my blood, Zane." He said strongly, just before he was about to slit his wrist on his fang I gripped his hand and pulled it away from his mouth.

"Xylo don't I'll be fine. You need as much blood in your system as possible, besides if Claire sees my wrist completely healed she'll know for sure I know about you" I muttered softly. There was a long moment in complete silence between the two of us, I heard him softly sigh after a while.

"I know about the risks and everything Zane." He said softly. "I don't want you hurt though..." He continued, muttering softly under his breath. I softly smiled, ruffling his hair softly.

"I'll be fine, promise. We should get ready for our 3rd class though." I softly smiled then walked out of the bathroom, this time he followed me out, he was probably worried Claire would grab me again.

In class, I had drama. My teacher had put me in a group with Xylo and sadly Claire. Xylo death stared at Claire about five times because of what she did to me and all she did was roll her eyes. I pulled my phone out of my back pocket and purposely looked up how romantic vampires were because I could see Xylo looking at my screen. He looked away quickly, he was obviously flustered and all I could do was chuckle.

"Fuck you." He pouted. I was crying tears of laughter, slightly rolling around on the floor. This was the funniest thing that had happened since I arrived at my new school. Claire stared at us, her whole-body language said she was confused and that made the situation twice as funny.

"I'm curious, tell me. I honestly want to know." I said chuckling, he looked at me annoyed.

"Very." He leant down and whispered into my ear. "In shorter terms, if I was horny and you were my victim, I wouldn't hesitate to fuck you in front of everyone." He continued in a low voice. I stared for a few seconds before falling onto my back, covering my face to hide all the blush and my flustered look. I peeked up at Xylo between the gap of my fingers and all I could see was him smirking, I wanted to slap him, but my heart was telling me not to hurt him. It was like I cared about him, which of course I did but in a different way. I sat up and looked at him and then at Claire, Claire knew Xylo was a vampire and I could see a pocketknife in her back pocket. We were about to leave the 3rd class. The teacher asked Claire, myself and Xylo to clean up which was okay because I got out of maths for a little.

When we were about to finish cleaning up Xylo was on one side of the room and Claire was on the other, it was my idea because keeping the two of them separate was the best idea. Not long before everything was done Claire grabbed my hand and put her pocketknife blade against my wrist.

"Don't. Move. A. Muscle." She demanded; I froze. I knew if I called for Xylo she would slit my throat and Xylo would use me as a blood bag until every drop of blood was gone. If he can control his thirst, I would probably be okay. Sadly, he has not told me if he could, right now my thoughts told me he could not. I held my breath and eventually, Xylo turned around and saw what was going on. "Xylo, give me the complete truth or I'll make you kill him, I know your little secret and I know Zane knows it as well."

"Don't..." I muttered the words as softly as I could knowing he could hear, but Claire could not. Claire was staring straight at Xylo but Xylo was looking at me. Claire was using me to find out if Xylos secret was true and I couldn't let her find it out. I looked at her and in the fight to make sure Claire didn't figure out Xylos secret I said the only thing I could.

"Xylo isn't a vampire Claire. I am." Everything went silent after my words, I looked at Xylo and grabbed Claire's knife then went to him. "I'll prove it." I continued, grabbing Xylos arm and cutting it. I dropped the knife to the floor and bit into his arm drinking his blood. It was fine because his blood would heal the wound he left on my wrist. I could feel Xylo flinch at me biting him, of course, I had to bite hard to make it realistic but Xylo pushed me away. I looked at him in a shocking way wanting to know why he stopped me, he looked away and said nothing. Claire stared at us, did she still think Xylo was a vampire or did she now believe I was one completely. She snapped a photo of me and ran out of the drama room. I watched her leave then looked at Xylo. "Why'd you stop me!"? I demanded. He walked over to me and cupped my face in his hands.

"Shh," I stayed silent and just looked at him, confused. "You shouldn't have done that..." He muttered softly. I wondered why he told me I shouldn't have done what I did but it was better off her thinking I was a vampire then her actually knowing Xylo was one.

"If I didn't she would've known and-" He cut me off, putting his finger on my lips. I looked into his eyes and continued to be quiet, I could feel blush crossing my face. What Is this feeling? He was so close to me that I could feel the coolness of his body through my clothing. Not knowing everything about vampires I stayed still close to him, his head leant down closer to mine, I softly bit my bottom lip feeling confused, nervous, scared, paranoid. Too many emotions and feeling ran through me.

"Xylo?... Are you okay?" I asked, he sighed and said nothing, then he leant closer and planted his lips on mine.
