Chapter 2

Melody's eyes fluttered to open, but she was just too weak. She felt something wrapped around her head as she was hearing faint voices. It sounded like three men and a woman arguing about something. What happened? She was asking herself in her head. Finally she was able to open her eyes and all the people in the room looked over to her. She was laying on a huge bed with people all around the room, none of them she recognized. "W-Who are y-you?" She heard her voice come out as it was slightly shaky.

One of the men came over, showing his features. God, he's gorgeous. He had long dark brown hair that went a little over his ears. Those ice blue eyes were looking down at her with compassion it seemed like. "How are you feeling?" He asked her in a soft tone, reaching down to touch her face.

When he went to touch her face she flinched and looked away from his beauty. "What happened? Where am I? Who are you?" These were all the questions that had just creeped up in her head. She wanted answers and she didn't care who she was going to get them from. As she was asking these questions she seen the others leave the room and shut the door.

She noticed that when the others left the man sat down on the edge of her bed. "You don't need to be afraid of me. My name is Jakob. We found you outside of our mansion. You startled us and one of my brothers hit you on the head. A little too hard for my taste. You've been sleeping for two days, are you hungry?" His voice was soft and compassionate. She couldn't help but stare at his facial features that seemed like they came from heaven. Those piercing ice blue eyes were hurt slightly.

"Now that you mention it. I'm a little hungry. I was just running from...something. I can't remember." She lifted her hand to rub her head as she felt the gauze on her head. "How hard did he hit me?" She raised her voice a little after feeling a slight wet spot. BLOOD! That jogged her memory. "MOM!" She screamed as she tried to get out of the bed. The man grabbed her wrist gently and pulled her back down.

"You don't need to be moving. You're still very weak." He said to her as he held her wrist and covered her back up with the blankets. "I'll go get you something to eat then we can talk some more if you'd like." He said, looking into her eyes.

"...Fine." She said and then looked down at the blankets as he walked out the bedroom door. "M-mo-mom.." The tears were coming yet again as she thought of that awful sight of her mother lying dead on their kitchen floor. There was so much blood..And Richard, I'll come for you yet! Just as she was sitting there with the tears flowing down her cheeks one of the other boys came in the room. She hurried to wipe her face as if nothing was wrong but he could tell.

"I'm sorry for hitting you so hard. You just scared me." He looked at her and started walking towards the bed. When he reached the bed, he reached his hand down and wiped a tear from her face. "Is your head hurting?" He asked, knowing she was in a little of pain.

"...No." She said quietly to him. He sat down on the bed and looked into her eyes. "Why does everyone keep looking at me like that? Is there something wrong with my face?" She snapped quickly then calmed again. She couldn't understand why her feelings were all mixed for these people.

"No. You have a very beautiful face." He said politely to her. "My name is Alexander. It's nice to meet you..." He paused as if waiting for her to tell him her name. She shrugged it off and looked away from him. He looked nothing like his brother. Alexander had a athlete's body and his hair was down to his shoulders, but bright blonde. He still had the same eyes though. Those ice blue, beautiful eyes.

She looked back up at him, she couldn't help but stare when his eyes went from ice blue to blood red. "My nam-names Melody." She said kind of weary now as she seen the change on his face. Jakob walked in to see Alexander staring and snarling at her. "What's wrong with you!" She screamed jumping out of the other side of the bed.

"Alexander!" Jakob screamed at him and with lightning speed he was over at her side. He grabbed her, picked her up and ran out of the room, shutting and locking the door. Once he locked the door she could hear Alexander slamming on the walls and the door. "I'm sorry.." He said looking down at her and still holding her, knowing she was still weak. "I'll bring you downstairs to eat some food." He started walking down the spiral staircase down to a dining room where he sat her in a chair.

"Tell me whats going on!" She demanded to Jakob. "What was that all about? Whats wrong wit-" Before she could finish Jakob was holding his hand over her mouth. She looked at him with angry eyes and tried to bite at his hand.

"Be quiet. You must not wake the others." He whispered to her. "I'll let my hand off your mouth if you'll be a little more quiet. Okay?" He looked at her and she nodded her head.

"What's going on?" She looked at him with question in her slightly angry eyes. Her eyes changed from ice blue to forest green.

He took a deep breath in. "If I tell you, you can't leave here and you can't say anything to anyone." He knew he could trust her and he started again. "We're vampires. And we have been living in this mansion for a few days now." He looked at her to wait for her response to this new news.

Her eyes went back to normal as she looked at him. "V-Vampires?" She said shakily. "Really?" There were so many questions going through her head then she saw a figure from the corner of her eyes standing by the door. It was the other man that was in the bedroom when she woke up. Her eyes went over to him, causing Jakob to look. Then she looked back at Jakob. She could see the fear in his eyes. "Whats wrong?" She asked, kind of concerned now.

Jakob slowly inched closer to her as the other man was walking towards them. "You shouldn't have told her. We'll have to kill her now." The other man had the same lightning speed as he was now next to her. He pushed Jakob back and Jakob went flying through a wall and into what looked like the kitchen.

Melody's whole body was shaking now. She didn't want to look up at the other man. Run! She told herself then she got up to run and the man grabbed her by her hair. "Owww! Let go!" She screamed back towards him as he turned her head to bite a piece of skin out of her neck. Right when he went to do that Jakob was up and pushed him away.

"LEAVE HER ALONE CHEKK!" He screamed at the other man and grabbed Melody, running out of the house now. When he knew that they weren't being followed he stopped and put her down gently. "I'm sorry.." He said, looking down at the tears rolling down her face. He went to wipe them away and Melody pushed his hand away. She knew that she wanted to feel his touch, but she was too scared at the moment.

"I can't do this..I can't." She was hysterical now and fell to the wet ground. Had it been raining? She couldn't remember anything then she felt herself hit the ground and was blacked out again.
