The Town Plaza [2]

Halee

I sigh, "I'm not stubborn. I'm just don't believe In drinking blood."

Lucian

I study her before looking down, "You don't have to believe in it, Hales. You just have to believe in staying alive for me and Blithe, staying at your healthiest."

Halee

I look at him, "Not believing in it means not doing it."

Lucian

I just shake my head, done arguing.

Halee

I watch him before shaking my head and trudging out the door.

Lucian

"No, Halee, wait," I jump up and chase after her.

Halee

"I'm tired of this!" I turn to him, "We fight almost everyday, you don't understand me, and our freaking one year old son is probrably scared as sh*t, thinking this is how his future is gonna be! I-I can't do this anymore, thinking that all I am, is a bad mother, and I can't stand, seeing him this insecure!"

Lucian

I swallow, shrinking back, "A-an argument isn't a fight... it's a discussion."

Remembering what she said last, I cross my arms and just want to run.

"And we both know where that came from," I murmur, twitching at the whisper.

Halee

I shake my head, crying now, and just shake my head before continuing to run.

Lucian

I know I should go after her, but my legs won't listen. Instead of taking me in that direction, they turn me around and lock me in our room.

Halee

I drop beside a tree and just let myself run out of tears. Once done, I'm insanely thirsty. I try to push that aside, my face becoming pale and my eyes becoming red again. My lips dry, I glance around before going to the beach, not wanting to be near anyone.

Lucian

I curl up on the floor, burying my face in my arms, and rock back and forth slightly.

Halee

Someone grabs me from behind when I get there, putting safety things on my fangs, and pulling me behind a rock. I try to get them off, hating it, "Wh-Who are you?"

The person doesn't answer and I give up, too weak to fight back.

Lucian

I get a bad feeling, the voice whispering to me again, and I glance out the window to find some random person holding her against her will. Composing myself, I bolt downstairs and order him to stop.

Halee

My eyes wide open, the person goes invisible, "Hungry little vampire? I am too..."

I freeze and try to get out of it again just when Luce comes, my face pale and my eyes bloodshot red.
