My first year of high school was when it all started for me. For some people that meant finally being a teenager, but for me that meant sitting alone at a lunch table every day for a week and everyone at school talking behind my back naming me weirdo or other crap like that. Oh joy! Not. The second week things started looking up. I met some people who liked me for who I was and knew exactly how I felt. Chizzy, Millie, Alexa, Brian, and Hunter were there names. They all went through the same thing before they found each other so they ended up being my life savers. They invited me to sit with them every day after we met. And after two days I had found my normal hang out group.
The third week was when things started getting alittle different. Millie and I had developed a really good bond since we first met. She had invited me over for a sleep over that weekend with Chizzy and Alexa.
No one was able to sleep - pretty much the same as every night for me. "Can I tell you something Deeana?" Alexa asked. "What's up?" I replied. "So as you know we are all different from everyone else." I nodded "I'm going to let you in on a little secret we all share. We're supernatural. I'm a fae, French for fairy. I can read emotions and with a simple touch I can even change them. Not to mention I'm able to communicate with animals and heal physical and internal injuries."
Chizzy spoke next, "I'm a shape shifter. I can take the form of just about any animal you can think of. And not to mention I'm one of the most powerful of my kind." Millie was the last to speak. "I'm a witch. I can create and perform spells. My kind is the closest spieces to human. Deeana, listen, you always complain how you're different and always have trouble fitting in. You always say you would kill to find out why, but you don't have to kill because we might have that answer. Brian, he's a vamp, he thinks you're a vampire. Hunter, he's a were wolf, he thinks you're a were. Since the abilities of a were and vamp are so alike they don't know which one you are. I'm able to find out some of what you are and maybe even some of the gifts you might posses. It's called testing, do you mind if I …?" I didn't know what to do. Should I let Millie test me without knowing the risks I could be taking or tell them they are all crazy and go home. I was really confused and freaked out at the same time.
Alexa must have been reading me because she said, "Deeana I know this is a lot to take in but take a few deep breaths and chillax. Millie's just going to test you, not cut you open." With that I relaxed. Alexa was right. There was nothing to worry about. After all, how cool would it be to find out you were super natural? "Good." Alexa smiled. "Okay will it hurt? Because if it's going to hurt then no. But if not…"
Millie closed her eyes and five minutes later they opened with shock. She smiled. "Welcome to our world!" I was estatic and upset at the same time. What was I going to tell my family? "Hold on, I'm super natural?!" "Yup! You're a hybrid, a blend of two different species. I was only able to find one of the two, but I did find fae. Chizzy you need to go to Brian and Hunter's houses and get them over here so they can test her. Got that?" Chizzy nodded and was out the door seconds later in the form of a wolf.
An hour later Chizzy was back – in human form, with Brian and Hunter right behind her. They must have ran there because they were both out of breath. "What's wrong?" Brian asked before anyone had a chance to say anything. Alexa spoke first, "Nothings wrong. We just need you both to test Deeana. Now who wants to go first?" Hunter frowned. "I was told you guys were playing spin the bottle and needed two guys but if we're testing then I'll go first. But the only way I'm doing it is if we can spin a bottle." I frowned but I needed to know what I was, so I said" Fine but if it lands on you I'm passing." He smiled and said, "We'll see about that. If it dose land on me you'll be begging for more." "Please!" I laughed, "You really need to get over yourself. C'mon, let's get you guys down the stairs so we can do what I needed you guys to do."
We went down to the basement. Hunter cracked his knuckles and rolled his neck "C'mon! Take a shot at me, you weak, little bitch!" Big mistake I thought to myself. I tackled him to the floor and started throwing punches left and right. Unfortunately for him, he didn't know the people who picked fights with me always ended up injured. "ENOUGH!" he yelled. "That's not going to happen because I'm just getting warmed up. Maybe you'll think next time before you call me a bitch!" "This is the test and you passed! You're not a were!" Millie screamed. My fist was still in the air when the words came out of her mouth. I got up and told him, "Don't ever do that again! I could have landed you in the hospital!" "Yeah right! You only gave me a bloody nose. It'll take a lot more to land me in the hospital." I frowned. "Let me have a few more shots and we'll see who is right." "Do you want to go for real this time? If we do then you'll be the one in a hospital bed!" Millie stomped her foot. "ENOUGH! You both need to shut the hell up before I put a hex on both of you! So we know Deeana's not a were. Let's see if Brian can find anything. Now can you both stop fighting like effien three year olds?!"
Brian went next. He stepped up to me and said, "Hold out your arm. I'm going to make a small cut in it and taste your blood. Vampire blood tastes different to a vampire who hasn't developed the ability to scan brains so we can see who is one of us and who isn't. Got that?" I nodded. I held out my arm and he dug the tip of his finger nail into my soft flesh. He took a few sips and backed away from my arm. He looked like he was going to barf. He ran upstairs and didn't come down for ten minutes. "What happened?" I asked Millie. "He needs to get it out of his system. Vampire blood is poisonous to a vampire who hasn't grown his fangs yet. That's the thing about vamps, once they have fangs another vamp's blood isn't poisonous, and once they develop the brain scanning ability they can't even tell the difference." Brian came down with his teeth brushed and a bottle in his hands.
"Okay, since we just found out about Deeana, she'll go first." I felt my cheeks heat up when he handed me the bottle. This would be my first kiss. I spun the bottle and only hopped it didn't land on Hunter. Luck was on my side because it landed on Brian instead. He stood up and held out his hand to help me up. I smiled and took it. Our lips met and it felt like the world was on fire. The kiss was so hot and I didn't want it to end. But he did end it five minutes later. He smiled and said, "You know, people say a first kiss is supposed to be really awkward. But that wasn't awkward, that … that was hot." I smiled and sat back down in my spot. Alexa nudged me in the ribs and smiled. I rolled my eyes and smiled back.
