Chapter one
Stepping out into the hall I smiled as I saw my family (Faragonda, Griselda, Du Four, Palladium, Avalon, Wizgiz, Griffin, Zarathustra, Elditrude, Saladin and Kotatorta.) They were slowly walking up to me, shining in the sunlight. Their eyes- golden, were sparkling in the rays. I smiled hugging all of them, and a sense of serenity and belonging filled me; it covered me, making me strong and sure. Nothing would harm me as long as I stayed here, with my family. And I wouldn't let any thing harm them either. I would do anything to protect them. My love hovered over me in a protective matter, and I smiled up at him calming him down.
Palladium sweet heart calm down, everything's fine. Nothing's going to come and get us while were all together. I used my thoughts to project this, taking his hand I blocked my thoughts from the others. I was stronger then all of them put together as I could take any power I wanted, and give someone any power I wanted, although that task was very draining.
We walked outside and sat under a big tree. Sitting in the shade I smiled watching my parents-Faragonda and Saladin talking to everyone. All of them joining in I just watched enjoying the peace it was all so tranquil. It was very different from the upbeat streams of life down town. I was glad to be quitting my career as a famous dancer so I could join my family here; it would mean that I wouldn't have to move around from place to place and be able to settle down into teaching. Smiling I curled closer into Palladiums chest, enjoying all the conversation and the summers breeze. Yes summer. Everyone broke up for summer brake yesterday so we all had some free time. Tonight though I had to go hunting, and it meant lying to them as they didn't know that I was a vampire! I wanted to tell them, of course I did, but I was scared that they would hate me. Of course I was going to have to tell them soon because I live forever, so I will never age, or the only other option is to leave forever. That was my last option though, my last measure. I didn't want to do that if I could help it, if there was any other way out of it… sigh. I really was going to have to tell them.
Tears sprung to my eyes, and I tried to blink them back, but found it near impossible as I thought about telling my family that I was a monster, and what they're reactions would be. Burying my head into Palladiums chest I tried to calm myself, but the smell of him was intoxicating. His arms wrapped around me, and I could sense his-everyone's concern and worry. Well I guess I had no choice now. I had to tell them what I was, and hopefully they wouldn't take it badly. Of course though that was just wish full thinking after this conversation they would never want to know or see me again; and that thought made me so scared. I wouldn't get a summer with my family, after I had just been reunited with my parents once again, but they needed to know. Looking around at them all I saw worry on their faces, and I couldn't take it any more. Boiling hot uncontrollable tears streamed down my forever pale, cold face. I didn't deserve their kindness, I deserved to be punished, I had to drink blood to survive; kill another to survive, and that was unforgivable. Tension built up in my muscles, ready to run and leave after I told them, after they would all be disgusted and hate me forever. When Palladium would find out why I had never properly kissed him, why I didn't hug any one for long amounts of time, why my eyes changed colour, and why I tried not to sit to close to any one when my eyes were pitch black-when I was hungry.
A gentle, warm hand was placed on my shoulder, and I looked up to see my mum beckoning me silentely to tell them what was on my mind. Nodding I held up a finger signalling that I would tell them when my thoughts were in order, which they weren't… How would I start this conversation off? What could I say to make it seem a little bit better, to make them understand that I would never hurt them… Snapping out of my thought I realized that I was taking far too long to tell them what was wrong. Taking a deep breath I realised that there was no easy way to do this, so I plunged in on my horrifying secret. Hoping against all hope that they would accept me for who I am…
"Well you have all noticed some strange things about me, and I haven't answered any of them. Just stared blankly at you like I didn't know what you was on about?" They all nodded so I proceeded to continue. "Well now I'll answer you, but please just promise me one thing. Promise me that you all will remember that I would never ever hurt you. Never, I love you all." I looked around and once again heads were shaken in understanding and promising. Sighing I hoped dearly that they would remember that, but I would never blame them if they hated me for what I was. Goodness knows I hated myself for what I was, so it wasn't hard to imagine that they would feel the same way towards me.
"There's no really easy way for me to say this, so im just going to come out and say it, ok? Well please don't be scared I would never hurt you, and I trust me I hate myself for what I have to do, but I've tried to stop. But I just go crazy, it doesn't kill me at all… I'm a, a vampire." I whispered the last part to them all, hoping that they wouldn't hear it, no such luck… Gasps echoed from all around and tears just kept coming. I couldn't bear to look at their faces; to see the revulsion and disgust that I knew would be there, so I went to stand, only to find a gentle hand grab my wrist.
"Fern dear don't leave. Were shocked and certainly confused but we wont hate you." My mum told me standing up beside me, looking into my eyes… telling the truth. My Mum almost always knew on the lines of what I was thinking, which with this secret was really scary. Everyone stood around me agreeing with her, making a circle so I wouldn't be able to escape, although whether consciously or sub consciously I don't know they kept a little distance from me, which is what I had been afraid. Sobs racked my body, and I collapsed to the ground, just crying, worrying about what was to come…
Fern: Well???
Faragonda: Very dramatic, and why a vampire???
Everyone else: Yeah, why???
Fern: Because I wanted to, I told you it would be random, and that was. I just wrote the first thing that came into my mind; and I thought it went quiet well considering.
Palladium: Yeah you did very well. It only took you about…
Everyone: TWO HOURS TO WRITE, OVER A COURSE OF THREE NIGHTS AN ALL1!!!
Fern: Ok ok. Yeesh no need to shout ya know, honestly you all need to act your age. Smirks.
Everyone: Hey!!!
Fern: Lol, well that's it for now. Please R&R. Hope you enjoyed this one. I know I did.
