Cradle of Filth poster. Jacob was obviously a fan of them.
Carrie looked around more. N ext to the bed there was an old- fashioned audio play er and a stack of vinyl records and on the other corner there was an elec tric guitar with an amplifier. The fake spiderwebs hanging from the ceiling also impressed Carrie.
“Is this your room?” sh e finally got it out of herself and looked at Jacob who leaned on the wall.
“Yes. Carrie…” He slowly went to her and softl y grasped her face with his hands. The girl ’s heart speed ed up when his hand touched her lower lip smearing her bloodred lipst ick. Then he got closer to her neck and inhaled her scent as if he wanted to take a part of her wit h him. He sighed with delight “I need to tell you something… “ The girl almost fainted when he touched her lip s and then kissed her “ Just please… don’t be scared … don’t scream… because I don’t want to. .. hu rt you… or your friends… okay?” he whispered between the kisses.
Carrie moved a few millimeters away from him and looked into his eyes burning with passion.
“Why would I be scared and scream?” she whispered “You wouldn’t hurt us… would you?”
Entranced by her excitemen t she put his hand on her thigh and put them under her dress as she pie rced his lips with her tongue. But when she penetrated them with it , she felt a sharp sting and mo ved away with a silent squeak. Jacob looked at her wit h eyes wide opened as she noticed two fangs in h is mouth a nd closed her own with her hand. She felt that the tears were forming in her eyes.
“Y-You … are..?”
“Yes.. Carrie.. I am a vampire and so are Blake, Aidan, Zack, Mikaela and Jonathan. That ’s what I wanted to talk to you. It’s about yours , Jay ’ s and Pagie’s safety. Please, trust me.
Chapter 7
“But… how?” Carrie didn’t understand anything. She was a vampire fanatic for yea rs and often dreamed about meeting one but she n ever thought she actually would and not only one but five… no.. six. Six vampires? It would seem to be impossible but somehow it happened in this small town called Knoxville. Additionally the town’s priest was a vampire which was totally beyond the girl’s understanding .
“Maybe I ’ll start from the beginning” Jacob sat on his small bed a nd patted the place next to him but Carrie prefer red to stand with her hands crossed and penetrated him with her gaze. “A few years ago me and Blake created a sect called the Dark Star. We recruit vampires who worship Lilith, the mother of the demons and all the immortals. Unfortunately , nowadays there are almost no vampires left. Although we managed to meet Zack, Adian and Mikaela. You could say that since that time we’re one big family. Once in a while we conduct a ritual on the cemetery, although not that often anymore. But we are always searching for the new victims for ourselves and for Lilith .
“So that’s why you’ve lured us here? For us to becom e a sacrifice ?”
Jacob nodded .
“But that was Blake ’ s idea, I didn’t agree with it” he added hastily “His plan was to throw Jay a nd Paige on the mercy of Lilith and you were supposed to watch. My brother believes that you can be valuable and help us to take over the world
That’s interesting, Carrie thought to herself. But how could I help them ?
“ He start ed thinking that after reading your diary” Morton added.
“What? So you’re the ones who stole it” She didn’t expect that, although…
Jake nodded his head again .
“ Not ‘we’ but ‘ me ’ , to be specific. Blake ordered me to ”
So Paige was right! Unbelievable… Carrie covered her mouth with her hand again and shook her head feeling a wave of anger rising .
“What about Jonathan?” She asked “I always thought he was a human…”
“He was but they attacked him when I visited you and Lilith transformed him”
A dead silence ensued and only
