Flashback…
"You really have to leave?"
"Yes. My coven needs me back. My sister must be scared to death since I said it was only going to be a small hunting trip, and I have been gone for… how long has it been?"
"Eight months or so. I understand. I must get home too. I bet my family is worried as well."
"You say you understand, but you don't look like you feel so. Why?"
"I will really miss you Alec."
"As I will miss you. I very much hope that we will see one another again day."
"Yes."
"Don't look sad. I have something for you."
"What is it? Oh it's a heart shaped necklace! How beautiful! Thank you."
"It's not just a normal necklace, it's two necklaces. The heart splits right in half."
"One for me, the other for you?"
"Right. Also, it has a vampire's curse on it."
"A curse? That doesn't sound good."
"It's not as bad as it sounds. When pulled apart, the necklaces automatically start searching for each other. When close, the necklaces glow to show the other is near. And there is something else, but the person who gave it to me will not say what it is."
"So if I keep mine on and you keep yours on, we might find each other again one day?"
"Precisely."
"Then I will keep mine on for all eternity."
"I will as well."
"Swear it."
"I swear on my existence."
"Then I swear on my existence, also."
"Alright, we have an agreement. Now, the time has come for me to take my leave."
"Good bye Alec, I love you."
"I love you too, Audrianna Millington."
"Millington? Miss Millington. Miss. Millington. MISS MILLINGTON!"
"What? Huh? I'm alive!"
"I can see you're alive, Miss Millington. The question is if you are paying attention, which clearly you aren't. Now, will you please solve the equation on the board?"
I took a quick glimpse of the board and solved it in 1.24 seconds. "It equals 28.553427-"
"I only asked you to solve the first three digits, but thank you." Mr. Solomon straightened his tie and pushed his glasses up his nose. "Ok class-" and that was my cue to drown out his lecture again.
I missed Alec and wondered if he sill remembered who I was. He had sworn on his existence that he would keep the necklace on but it had been so long that I highly doubted it. The night was even a little foggy for me now.
I fingered my necklace automatically, at the thought.
"Miss Millington?" Mr. Solomon was staring at me again.
"Yes?"
He sighed and shook his head. "It's a shame that I have to repeat myself every time I speak to you Miss Millington. I asked if you knew that pi never ends."
"Actually," I started, already matter-o-factly. "it does end. I checked. At line 1,223,998 the pattern starts over again."
"uh… ok. I'll ask someone else."
I looked down and rolled my eyes. One night I was bored so I randomly started doing pi and at the end of three nights I got to line 1,223,998 and found the pattern.
11th grade was always such a slow grade. Heck all the grades were slow, but this kept going on and on. I had been in 11th grade far to many times to count. I had also gone to so many schools in general, that I couldn't count. Every three years, a different state. We even went to ones out of the U.S.A. Like in France, Greece, and Italy, which is where I met Alec.
When I say we, I mean my family. It's pretty small, with only four members, but it feels like I was lucky to even have a family. It has my mother Mala, my little sister Lillian, My brother Luke and me. Mala isn't our real mother, but she was the one who created us. I remember that evening like it was yesterday. It was on May 16th, 1625.
Flashback…
"Audrey? Do you think Elizabeth liked her birthday present?"
"Of coarse Lilly. Who else on this street has a more beautiful feather pen than that?" I patted the brown curls that had gone awry back into place on the top of her head. "Nobody does. I am sure that she is very satisfied." She smiled up at me with that sweet grin that lights up the room.
"Hello you beautiful ladies." We turned to see three men wobbling toward us, drunk as can be. "Would you like to dance?"
"I'm sorry good sirs, but we have to hurry home. I bid you good eve." I said walking faster, dragging Lily behind me.
"Stay awhile," The man with a missing tooth grabbed my waist and I tried to twist away, but he held me securely. "We will have some fun with you." His alcohol scented breath wafted up my nose and I started coughing. The other men grabbed Lily away from me. And what happened after that was too horrifying to explain. We were left bleeding to death in an alleyway when Mala found us.
"You poor things." I saw the outline of her, though my eyes were blurring.
"Help," I moaned. "Help us." I was almost dead, and she was our last hope. She kneeled and leaned over my sister.
"I think I can save you both." Her head bowed down, my sister let out a shriek of pain and I passed out. It was pretty much simultaneous. All I can remember after that was the pain. The awful, tormenting, scalding pain that felt like my body was going to burn away into a pile of pitiful ashes. It was worse than anything you can imagine. Worse than being tortured. Worse than knowing you are going to die. Worse than death itself.
I shook my head to clear the thought. It was the worst day of my life, and yet the best day too, because it was the day we met Mala. Mala was our mother now, though she was only 20. I mean, she's much older that 20, but you get what I mean. I'm only a few years younger than her, at 17. My sister was pretty young to be a vampire, at only 14, but somehow finds a way to be happy every second of her never-ending life.
My brother Luke is a very interesting case. Nobody knows how he came to be, but he seems happy to hang with us. He's not really my brother in fact, I've only known him for the past five years of my life, which is when we found him on our doorstep.
Flashback…
"Um, Mala?" I heard Lily yell from the doorway.
"Yes?" Mala answered from the kitchen.
"You might want to come see this," Lily called, and then added "You too Audrey," I pushed back lightly from the table, where I had been working on homework, and joined lily and Mala at the door. Outside, on the doormat was a small basket with a baby tucked inside. It was like something you would see in a movie.
Mala bent down and picked up a piece of paper that was stuck between the blankets.
"Dear Millington's," She read aloud. "I can no longer care for the baby in front of you. I know that you are a kind family, so please take him in. Do not be alarmed, but the boy is half human half vampire. He is not venomous. Please help. P.S. His first name is Luke and his middle is Jay."
"Mala, can we keep him?" Lily pleaded. "He's so cute, and he's half vampire!"
"I believe there is nothing else to do. Without us, he'll starve." Mala picked up the basket and bought him inside.
"Are you sure?" I asked Mala. "What if it's a trap?"
She looked down and patted my auburn hair. "I'm sure."
That was the day we met Luke. We found that he grew and learned with lightning speed. He was five and yet he looked and acted like a fifteen year-old.
I took a piece of my auburn hair, and played with it. I was glad Mala had said she was sure about Luke. He was quite the guy.
"Homework is to look over these equations. Class dismissed." I gathered my things and hurried out the door.
