Touch Me Alpha [#5]

Saturday. My birthday.

Mia asked me if I wanted a party but I stared at her like she was crazy. A party when just a couple of days ago my grandma died.

She understood me then, when I told her no. None of the Blake family are leaving me alone. In the morning Vincent was with me. In the afternoon Tyler was with me. And now at 6 o’clock, Mia is sat next to me on the sofa.

All day I’ve been quiet, not talking to anyone just staring off into space.

“Hailey? Shall I get you something to eat?” She asked as my stomach rumbled

“No thank you”

“I’ll go get you some cake” she stood up, debating with herself to go or not.

She nodded to herself, and walked out of the living room.

“Hailey” I heard a voice and I shook my head. No, not now.

“Don’t call anyone” someone was sat in the corner. A girl around my age. She was sat on the sofa, staring at me.

“I was waiting for the moment when you’re alone. Theses people are clingy” she giggled to herself.

“Don’t come near me” I whispered

’I haven’t even moved out of place” she shrugged

“I’ll call Mia” I warned hoping she won’t kill me.

“I won’t kill you Hailey. I’m like your friend. I’m a nice spirit” Grandma did say they’re nice spirits.

“Yeah. I’m a nice one”

“You can read minds?” She nodded

“Yep. If we can enter bodies, reading minds is nothing”

“You won’t enter my body right?”

“Only when you’re in trouble and you’re frozen. It happens” Mia walked in with a plate full of chocolate cake.

“Mia, there’s one here” I whispered and the girl groaned as Mia stood up straight looking around, and standing in front of me.

“Where?” She asked

“On the chair” she looked at the chair, trying to figure something out.

“I can’t see it. How am I meant to protect you?” She whispered to herself just as Tyler ran into the room with Vincent behind him.

“Why did you call Mia?”

“Really Hailey? Really?” The girl asked standing up and walking towards me.

“Stay back!” I shouted getting up from the sofa.

“Are you being serious? I just said that I’m the nice one” she groaned as Vincent stood infront of me.

“Dad? How are we meant to see these things?” He mumbled holding my hand tightly and I stood behind him.

These couple of days,Vincent has been distant. He wasn’t acting like a pervert, or always trying to touch me. When ever he saw me, he would smile,wave and walk off.

“I don’t know. Can you leave?” Tyler looked around the room.

“I need to talk to Hailey first so no” she said crossing her arms, even though they couldn’t see or hear her.

“What’s your name?” I asked

“Rose”

“Rose” I nodded moving away from Vincent, but he pushed me behind him.

“Stay there Bella.”

Bella..

“What if she’s behind me?” I asked and he quickly turned around looking at me.

“Is she? Tell me Bella?” He asked worried.

“No” he took a deep breath, nodding

“Soulmates.. hmm” Rose said and I nodded as she sat down on the floor.

“Why are you sat on the floor?” I asked and the Blake family looked at the floor.

“This is useless Tyler. How are we meant to protect her?”

“I don’t know. We need to call Emily. She would know. She has powers”

“You have magic”

“I know, but I don’t know every spell Mia. Emily must know what to do”

“Who’s Emily?” I asked confused

“My mom” Mia said and I nodded

“Vincent you stay here with Hailey. And we’ll call my mom” Tyler and Mia walked out.

“Bella, where is she?” Vincent whispered to me.

“Sat on the floor, in the middle” he nodded staring at the carpet.

“You know Hailey, today you will see a lot of spirts. Not all of them, but most of them. Some might want to help you, some might try to kill you.” Rose said and I gulped.

“Kill me?” Vincent growled, tightening his hand on mine.

“Yes. But the good spirits will protect you. They’re called demons, the bad ones. If they kill you, yes you will be dead for a couple of hours, but you’ll come back to life. The only one that can actually kill you is Lucifer. The biggest demon out in the world. He’s killed all of your family. And he will get you as well.” She explained

“So why isn’t he here? Why isn’t he kill me? I can’t protect myself now. I’m weak” I asked.

“You’re not weak Bella. You’re not” Vincent turned to me.

“Stop telling her lies” Vincent growled into the room.

“He’s possessive. A keeper” Rose said and I shook my head.

“Answer my question Rose. Why not kill me now?” Vincent shook his head.

“I won’t let her”

“If your boyfriend over here let me finish I would” my face was heating up.

“Aww. You have feelings for him!” She gushed

“No I don’t”

“Yeah. She doesn’t” Vincent copied me, looking around the room.

“What is she talking about?” Vincent whispered to me.

“Me having feeling for you. Which you just said no to”

“Oh. No she does, I know. Right Bella?” he smirked at me.

“Shush” he chuckled as I turned to Rose.

“Lucifer, likes to play a game. If you’re weak, he won’t kill you. Lucifer is the strongest demon, so he wants his opponent to be strong to. ‘Why win easily’ that’s what he says”

“So he won’t kill me now?” She shook her head.

“So if I don’t learn to protect myself, then he won’t kill me. Easy” I smiled as Vincent looked confused but stayed silent.

“Hailey, Hailey” she tutted.

“What?”

“He’ll still kill you. It’s his job to kill you after a few months.” I shook my head.

“But my grandma? He killed her recently?”

“Because she had this pendant, that kept demons away. All demons away. Your father had it first, because he was a spirit talker, first. Then it got passed on to your grandma.”

“I need that. He won’t be able to kill me then” she shook her head.

“It’s gone. Broken” my shoulders dropped. Why?

“Oh” I whispered defeated, as Tyler and Mia came back.

’I’m going to my room” I mumbled but Mia grabbed my hand.

“Let Vincent come with you. You can’t be alone” I nodded as Vincent held my hand and we walked upstairs.

We went into my room, and Rose was sat on my bed.

“Fuck” I stepped back.

“What? What’s wrong Bella?” Vincent asked looking around quickly pulling me closer to him.

“Nothing. It’s just Rose” he nodded confused, but didn’t ask any questions.

“Are you staying here all night?” I asked Rose.

“Yeah. I have to protect you Bella” Vincent staid

“Oh. I wasn’t talking to you, Vincent” I said and he nodded, his cheeks turning red, from embarrassment.

“Yeah” he muttered turning around.

“Where are you going?” I asked.

“To the sofa”

“Sit here Vincent. What if the spirts come to my bed?” He nodded, while smirking.

“Or do you want me on your bed?” He asked sitting next to me, taking his top off, showing his 6 pack.

“Bella, I asked a question” he chuckled laying down,and pulling the duvet over himself.

“Spirts. The spirts” I nodded laying down and looking at Rose.

“Are you not going to go?” She nodded

“I’ll go. God knows, what you guys are going to do” she smirked before disappearing.

“Why are you blushing Bella?” Vincent wrapped an arm around me,pulling me closer to him.

“Vin-”

“Have I been a good boy for the past days? You won’t reject me right?” He whispered, his breath fanning over my shoulder.

“Yeah” I knew I wouldn’t be able to reject him. I missed his touch, his words, his smirk. I missed him.

“Yeah what?”

“Yes, I won’t reject you” he tightened his able around me.

“Why?”

“Don’t push it” he chuckled.

“Good night Bella”

I nodded, looking out the window.

How many days do I have left?
