Chapter 1
I was in agony. The fire was burning every bone in my body. I wish the people would put it out. Couldn't they see I was on fire? The blonde one kept saying sorry as if it was his fault I was on fire. I had been on fire for about 2 days now and approaching the 3rd. I wondered why it was it was taking so long to die. I heard rain from outside and I wished it would rain indoors so the flame would be put out.
"2 minutes" said a very high voice
2 minutes until what? My death or when they'll put out the flame. In a weird way I wanted them to leave me to die. I shook it off and waited for either death or life. The flame started to fade from my fingers and I knew then I would live. Then my heart started beating very fast and all the fire chased it. It was like the fire was a hunter and my heart its prey. My heart got trapped by the fire and suddenly it stopped.
The fire was gone and I thought I was dead. I couldn't hear my heart beating and I knew when I opened my eyes I would be in heaven or hell. 'Funny' I thought. 'I was wrong'. I got up with my eyes still closed afraid of what I would see when I opened them and heard a velvet voice
"Hello" said the bubbly voice and I sighed in relief. I knew from that voice that I was in heaven, not hell so I opened my eyes and gasped in shock
I wasn't in heaven but I weren't in hell either. I was in a large house with 6 golden eyes staring at me. There were 3 boys and 3 girls. And then I focused on the room.
I gasped again.
I could see everything. And I meant everything. Every single detail in the room was clear and I could even see the dust sparkling in the distance.
"Hello?" someone asked. It was one of the males. The one who kept saying sorry. He looked older than the others and I replied "where iam I"?
"What is your name"? The man said dodging my question. I frowned in annoyance. Uhh jac… I stopped mid sentence at the sound of my voice. It was higher than before with the same velvet tone in it like the other people. I sat down on the couch behind me and breathed deeply. But the action felt wrong, like I didn't really need it.
"Where am I? I repeated, desperate for an answer this time.
"In my home" he said in a sorry tone.
"Why am I here"? I replied trying to keep my tone not scared.
"Ill answer your questions later but first your name?
"Uhh Jack Cooper" trying to stop the ring in my voice. "Why"
"Because you will be here for quite a while" The blonde one said
"What!!! But why!!! I am going home right now" I shouted in disbelief. I turned my back on him and turned to walk out the door. Suddenly He wasn't behind me anymore. He was in front of me, blocking the way out.
"Hey let me out" I yelled at him.
"I am sorry but you can't leave"
"But why can't I leave"
"But you will hurt someone" He shouted at me. Me? Hurt someone? I couldn't even hurt a fly, let alone people.
"What do you mean hurt someone"?
"Please wait a minute" The man said again. I sat down annoyed at him and the younger blonde one grimaced. They started talking but they were talking too low and quick for me to hear. I only heard 2 sentences.
"Who's going to tell him"? An unfamiliar voice whispered. I realized it was one of the girls.
"I will" said the tall blonde one. Tell me what? I pondered. Why I was here maybe? I hoped.
"Jack could you come in here please". I went in and wasn't surprised to see the others gone.
"What do you want"? Curiosity strong in my voice
"I have something to tell you" a sad tone again to his voice
"You are dead" he replied
"What? I can't be dead. Iam not in heaven or hell"
"Well you're a… vampire" I stared at him in disbelief.
"You guys are crazy" I shouted
"Alice get in here". A small pixie-like person came in with a huge mirror. She put it right in front of me. I looked in it and gasped in shock. My eyes were blood red. I stuttered in shock "wwwhattt diid yoouu doo tttto mee".
"I just told you"
