Can You Love a Vampire?

Chapter 2- The Secret Family


I stopped running when i saw my father's old rusty toyota and took a deep breathe. I could still see the reddish colored eyes of both james and Adison staring at me. Hers had that hungry look that chilled me to the bone. And their teeth! They had fangs! I shook my head and tried to regain my composure. As soon as i thought i looked normal enough i walked to the front door.

"Dad! I'm home! Sorry I'm late, i got stuck up with a conversation." I called out to him. I wasn't lying really. Just not telling the whole truth. How could i? Even my dad would find me crazy. Yeah dad the two hottest people at my school can change their eye color and they can grow fangs. He would most likely answer with, Hun do i need to take you to the sixth floor?

I pushed the screen door open bracing myself for the entergetic welcome home from Stitch, my lovable puppy. Sure enough i could see his black furry self bounding through the kitchen. I knelt down and rubbed his ears smiling. "Hey buddy. Did dad give you your bone yet?" I asked him and smiled when he gave a small 'Woof'. "Guess not. You wanna bone?" My question was answered with another 'Woof'. Quickly i gave him a small bone then glanced up at the counter. A note sat alone on the counter with my father's hand writing on it. I tossed my bag into one of the chairs, left Stitch to naw on his bone and picked up the note.

Hey Ray-Ray

I got called out on another cow attack. I should be home for dinner.
If you dont mind could you fix something up for the both of us?
If i'm not home by dinner then just leave it in the microwave.
Love ya kid,

Dad

I smiled at my dad's childish name for me while i placed the note back where i found it. I glanced up at the clock and frowned. It was already 5:30. Time for dinner. I shrugged and hurriedly fix my dad something to eat the placed it in the microwave. I was still shocked from what had just happened and only grabbed some sweet tea. I learned from my mother that you should always have something sweet when your body is under great shock, and well hell my body was under a great amount of shock. I grabbed my bag and patted my thigh for Stitch to follow then climbed the stairs to my room.

After i dumped my bag in its never changing spot on my floor, i sat my tea down and layed down on my bed. Stitch jumped up beside me and nudged my side with great impatience. I groaned and rubbed his ears till he fell next to me. "You are so weird Stitchy-poo." I called softly to him. He gave me a funny look and nudged my arm, making me keep rubbing his ears. "yes yes your almighty lazyness." I smiled at my own joke then buried my head in my pillow. Adison's hungry red eyes glared up at me changing into James golden eyes. I was still freaked but starting to feel sleepy.

I turned over and stared at my ceiling. Bloodsucker? Isn't that just another name for a vampire? or the famous chuppacabra. Is he really a vampire? I thought those were only myths!!, My thoughts ragedabout what had just happened. It did explain his reaction to my cut. I lifted my hand and peered at the bandage. Guess vampires aren't like Count Dracula, I thought and turned over. My eyes started to feel so heavy that i thought i couldn't open them. Why did his eyes change back to the golden color when i started to get scared?, I thought drifting off to sleep.


James Point of View


I shook my head at the bush that shook loudly. "Adison this isn't right. I wasn't hunting that girl. She cut her self as you should know. Blood tends to waken our other side." I called out to my selfish sister. I leaned against a tree and hung my head. I had broken one of the 7 commands. Never let a human know of your true being.Araya Trachstron had found out what i was. And it scared her. I shook my head ruffly then stood up straight. "lets go home. Leave your stupid game and get to the house." I barked out into the night, knowing Adison had heard me. Charles wasn't going to be happy with either of us and we both knew that. Emily might save us from the worst of his temper but not all of it.

I cast these thoughts from my mind and focused on the night sky. By the position of the stars my house was to the north of here. Quickly i started off into the woods. Any human that saw me would have thought they were seeing things. My body seemed to melt into the shadows, making it easier for me to track them.

Silently i made my way through the woods till i saw the lights from the large house that belong to Charles Peirce, my 'father'. I lingered at the edge of the forest then gathered enough gut to face Charles' hot temper. From the smell radiating fromt he house he was already hot headed, meaning Adison had already made it home. Slowly i walked towards the luminese house swallowing hard.

"YOU LET THE GIRL SEE YOU THEN LET HER GO! HOW FOOLISH IS THAT ADISON? HOW FOOLISH?" Charles roaring voice sounded dangerously loud from inside. I carefully opened the front door and nearly walked over Adison. I gave her a hard glare and turned my attention to Charles.

"Charles leave her be. The girl cut her self. The scent excited both of us. you know Adison is still young and that it is hard for her to gain control at the moment." I stated the obvious trying to draw the heat off of my sister. As the older brother i had to prtect her, knowing that Charles loved to strike out physically. He gave me the sharpest, most knifed glare ever and opened his mouth to speak.

"Leave them be. The girl will forget by morning most likely." A sweet voice called from behind the angry man. If you could call him a man anymore. "Plus you know she has two protectors guarding her. I'm suprised her protecter wasn't there." Charles turned as his wife, Emily glided into the scene. she looked as beautful as ever. Her thick Auburn hair burning with color and the strong green eyes the looked upon them kindly. Charles muttered something gruffly and smiled at her. His sleek black hair fell onto his forhead bringing attention the the hard but kind gray eyes. He glanced back at me and Adison and gave us both a stern stare.

"Make sure you aren't foolish like this again." He ordered then waved his hand in dismision. I grabbed Adison's upper arm and dragged her upstairs.

"Don't ever pull a stunt like that again. you hear?" I hissed at her. She gave me a cold stare and nodded. We stood infront of her door, staring at each other. "This is gonna cause some trouble, you know that right?"

"Look James. If you hadn't been there then she wouldn't be able to tell anything." She hissed back with angry eyes. I placed my hand on top of her head and forced her to look at me.

"You know the law. We cannont drink from a human. Cannot!" I hissed out the last words. She flinched as if i had struck her and looked away. She shrugged my hand off her and walked into her room with a 'whatever'. I sighed and found my way to my room and layed down on my bed. The image of Araya's terrified face kept finding its way to the top of my thought. I remember the scent of her blood. It was so intoxicating. If i could get drunk then the scent was enough to make me tipsy.

I sat up and ran my tongue over my teeth. My two top insicors were painfully sharp and they tingled uncomfortabley. "Alright Alright. I'm going." I muttered to no one really and stood up. I walked over to my window and opened it. Stepping softly on the sill i breathed in the sweet night air. With one last thought on the girl that smelled so wonderful, i dissapeared into the night. For the thrill of the hunt.


Authors note- by sixth floor i mean the sixth floor of a hospital...Hospital give me the chills. i originally planned for it to only be from araya's point of veiw but i thought it would be more interesting if i mixed james in there too. Possibly Mia.
