Dark Secrets

Maya sat on her bed,she was thinking about how Rashel's mum meet her dad. Of course now her and Rashel are both foster kids. What bothered her though was that Rashel always seemed to get them moved to a different foster home after a year and she always went out in the dead of night without even telling Maya where she was going. Sometimes she didn't even come back until the afternoon then she'd be off again. Whenever Maya asked to come Rashel would say 'It's too dangerous,but I'll be back then we'll do something together'. That was when Maya was really young but now she was sixteen and she could take care of herself.

"You're not going out again are you?"Maya asked as she watched Rashel get dressed to go to the movies with her and Rashel's boyfriend Quinn.

"We're going out altogether aren't we?"Rashel was wearing jeans and a light black top. Her hair was straight and she had put light blue eye-shadow on to bring out her emerald green eyes. Maya remembered how Rashel's mum always called her kitten.

"You know what mean,Rashel. When are you going to tell me what your doing out there at night?"Maya asked in a small voice.

"Maya,I promised to keep you safe at all costs and that's what I'm doing. Plus you have fun here don't you? With Molly and Kate."

Oh great Molly and Kate Maya thought joy,what fun.

"Rashel please."Maya had told herself not to let tears spill out,so far was good.

"Oh ok. Tonight you can come with me,but look at me if you get hurt because I'm telling you now,it's dangerous."Rashel's eyes filled with concern and worry left the mirror to look at Maya.

All Maya could do is smile up at her step sister. While she waited for Rashel to get ready Maya sat and thought about her life. She didn't think of Rashel as a step sister but more as a blood sister. They had been through a lot of things over the past eleven years. Both Maya's dad and Rashel's mum had both got murdered on the same day along with Timmy which had been a really close friend of ours. Maya didn't know what happened to them because Rashel said to wait in the tubes while she went after Timmy. She didn't know that both her dad and Rashel's mum also went after him.

"Ready!Lets get Quinn to meet us there ok"Rashel's voice chimed through her thoughts.

"Ok Lets go!"She said in a airy voice.

As they walked to the movies,they talked about the old times and the food Rashel's mum used to make. When they got there,they were meet by a tall figure.

"Took your time."Quinn said as they approached him.

"You can't rush Rashel."Maya said while laughing.

"Oh shut up."Rashel said making a funny hand gesture.

They walked inside and took three sits in the middle row.

After the movie Rashel stood hugging Quinn until she said "I'm taking Maya for a walk with us after we go home and get changed."She nodded as if Quinn knew what she meant.

"You're crazy,it's dangerous out there at night."Quinn dropped his arms from Rashel and looked at Maya then back at Rashel.

"You can't do that to your own sister. What if she gets hurt?"Quinn's voice took on a fierce anger as he stared at Rashel.

"I don't see the problem in going for a walk at night,and why do we have to change?"Maya's voice cut in what appeared to be some kind of connection between Rashel and Quinn.

They just stared at her,Rashel with her concerned eyes and Quinn with stern,powerful eyes. Maya felt frightened,as if she were some small animal trapped in a cage. The uneasy felling didn't leave her until her and Rashel had both got changed in black ninja outfits. Now,she felt just...just strange. It wasn't till they meet up with Quinn that she realised that Rashel was right and she could get hurt. Maya didn't know why she felt like she could,it wasn't like they were jumping of a cliff,they were just going for a walk. But the feeling stayed as they entered a dark abandoned house.

Rashel held her hand out to Maya. Why had she agreed to bring her here?Maya was no vampire hunter. She is my younger sister,just my sweet...innocent...darling little sister,and of all places I agreed to bring her here. Rashel began to get angry at herself. Maya had been through a lot and Rashel had vowed to look after her,especially after that vampire had threatened to see them again.

Maybe Quinn was right...maybe I was crazy to even consider bringing her here. Rashel thought.

"Maya stay close and keep quiet."She hissed in Maya's ear.
