Kristin’s pov

Tom kissed me, how dare he?

“What do you think you’re doing?” I asked as I pulled away from the kiss.

“What does it look like, I was giving you a kiss?” Tom asked.

“Why?” I asked

“Because I can and you said you’d give me a chance to be your mate,” Tom said

“That didn’t mean you could kiss me,” I argued.

“Yes it did,” Tom argued back.

“No it didn’t, I just accepted you, a kiss was way too soon,” I decided.

“It would be too soon if it was our first kiss but it wasn’t, we’ve kissed before,” Tom said a proud smirk.

“It still doesn’t give you the right to kiss me,”

“Yes it does, you’re my mate I have every right to kiss you,” Tom disagreed.

“Only if I allow it and right now, I don’t,”

“I don’t need your permission to kiss you, you’re mine,”

“I don’t care,”

“You will care once I’ve finished with you,” Tom said with an evil smile.

“What do you mean once you’ve-” I began to say but couldn’t finish because Tom was on top of me in a flash and had pinned me down under him.

“Tom what do you think you’re doing? Get off me?” I struggled to get away.

“I’m showing you that you’re mine,” Tom said and brought his lips to mine and kissed me. This time I couldn’t get away, I couldn’t even move and did the only thing I could do which was to kiss my so called mate back.

Tom thought I was finally responding to him and he kissed me more enthusiasticly which made me angry. I tried to pull away but couldn’t, Tom was too strong.

After a while his lips moved to my neck and he began trailing kisses there.

“Tom stop now,” I said.

“Why?” Tom asked

“Because I don’t want this,”

“What do you mean you don’t want this. Are you saying you don’t want me anymore,” Tom said and went red in the face, it won’t be long before he loses his temper.

“That’s exactly what I’m saying,” I agreed and was right, his anger is now showing, he’s furious.

“What did you say?” Tom asked angrily.

“You heard me,” I shot back just as angrily.

“You don’t want me?” Tom asked quietly.

“No,” I stated.

“YOU DON’T WANT ME?” Tom asked in a raised voice I’ve never heard before, it scared me.

“No,” I began to tremble in fear.

“It’s too late now, you have no choice but to stay here with me. There’s nowhere for you to run to either,” Tom said with a smirk.

“You can’t keep me here,” I crossed my arms over my chest nervously.

“Oh yes I can,” Tom said as he tightened his hold around me.

“No,” I argued.

“Yes,” Tom said firmly.

“How?”

“By doing this,” Tom left me confused and before I could ask what he was going to do, he shoved his fangs into my neck causing pain and wouldn’t take them out. What does he think he is doing? This is so painful and feels like I am dying. Is Tom killing me for refusing him?

After a minute, Tom took his fangs out of my neck and licked his lips. He looks rather pleased with himself. How is killing me pleasing him?

“What did you just do and why are you smiling?” I asked still in pain.

“I made you mine,” Tom smirked.

“What do you mean?” I asked in confusion.

“I marked you,”

“I don’t understand,” I said looking confused. I thought he was killing me.

“I’ll show you,” Tom handed me a mirror, I looked in the mirror but didn’t see anything.

“I don’t see anything,” I voiced.

“Look at your neck where I gave you a bite,” Tom ordered and I did what he said but what I saw was shocking. I saw a tattoo in black ink of a rose and a swirly pattern around it, in the middle there were two letters ‘T.A’, I wonder what they mean.

“This mark shows you are mine, T and A are my initials. We are now connected for eternity. If we are ever apart we will both feel pain,” Tom answered by reading my thoughts.

“Why would you do that?” I asked.

“I had no choice, what would you have done if the only person you’ve ever loved only thought about running away from you?” Tom asked me. What? He knows I want to run away?

“Of course I know, I can read your mind remember?” Tom replied.

“How come I can’t read your mind?” I asked with annoyance. It’s unfair for him to be able to read my thoughts and I can’t do the same. I would rather have had him kill me then mark me because it appears I am now stuck with the arrogant fool forever.

“You will once you mate with me but first you have to mark me,”

“I have to mark you?” I asked, I don’t ever see myself doing that.

“Yes,”

“Well that’s never going to happen, I hate you,” I said and Tom loosened his hold on me. He looks so hurt but it’s his own fault I hate him, he should have approached me differently to kidnapping me and forcing me in to a relationship. I took Tom’s sadness at my words as my chance to get free.

Tom looked so broken and finally let go of me. I left the room. I feel really bad for saying that but he deserved it, he shouldn’t have kidnapped me.

Now time to find a way out of here before I start feeling the pain Tom was talking about.

I slowly walked down the hallway once I was out of Tom’s room so no one would hear me. I made it to the end of the hallway and was about to open the door leading out but I stopped because I heard footsteps.

There was a door beside me, I opened it and went inside before shutting the door behind me. The room was dark inside, I couldn’t see a thing so I put my hands out onto the walls to find a light switch and after a minute I found one, I pressed the switch and the light turned on.

I looked around and realised I was in a small storage room for cleaning supplies, it made my nose wrinkle up from the bleach I could smell. I switched the light off and listened for the voices to go away.

After a while, there was silence so I decided to step out of storage room. I walked to the door leading out of the hallway, I looked around to see no one and continued to the stairs before walking down them.

When I reached the bottom of the stairs, I saw that no one was around and there were no guards by the front door. I opened the door without a thought and stepped out, luckily there were no guards standing outside either.

The only way to get out was to go through the gate but it was locked and would only be opened from Tom or his parents orders.

That only left me with one option, I had to climb over the wall. I’ve never done that before but I’m a vampire now, I can do anything and things I have never imagined I could ever do.

I went up to the wall and tried to climb up, I struggled at first but then I managed to get a leg up over the wall. I slowly moved my other leg over and sat up on the wall.

It was quite a distance down but I had to jump. I did jump and was surprised to land firmly and softly without making a sound. I looked around and saw a main busy road full of traffic, no one noticed me. I saw nothing but fields for miles ahead but then I noticed the start of a road towards my left and started to walk down it.

I began to run and soon, I saw a car appear. The person driving didn’t see me because I was running so fast like a blur. I kept running and soon enough, a path appeared and I began to follow it.
