"We should be honest with you two." Rowan told them sitting down on the edge of Mary-Lynette's bed. We haven't known you for long but your both extremely important to us." She looked to Jade and Krestal for assistance but Jade was staring at Mark and
Krestal was looking absent-mindedly out the window. "Were not exactly like you."
"What do you mean?" Mark asked.
Rowan sighed heavily "A few weeks ago you both witnessed us bury the body of our great aunt."
"Did you kill her?" Mary-Lynette asked leaning a bit away from the older girl on her bed who was chuckling softly.
"No, No. We would never kill anyone, especially our own family. But someone did. And we found out it was a boy named Jeremy Lovett."
"Isn't that your friend?" Mark asked his sister.
"Yes." Mary-Lynette remembered "But why would he kill an old woman? He's so nice and sweet."
"Well." Rowan continued her smile frowning in a slight grimace "Maybe, he was."
"Was?" Mary-Lynette repeated trying to remember her friend. All she could see was fuzz then a bit of a glow as off in the distance. It was getting bigger and bigger but it was still very fuzzy. Why couldn't she remember it?
"He died." Krestal said still looking out the window. "Burned to a crisp in your old car. Nearly killed you and Ash before hand. He deserved it."
"How can you say that?" Mary-Lynette cried He was my friend! I loved him. And he's gone? He was just a boy. Not even 18 yet." Mary-Lynette looked down and willed the tears that were threatening to pool over her eyes to hold.
"That's what we needed to talk about. He wasn't only a boy, Mary-Lynette. Jeremy Lovett was a werewolf."
"A werewolf?" Mark whispered trying to stifle a laugh. "Werewolves don't exist."
"There are werewolves out there Mark." Jade corrected him. "And not just werewolves. Witches, shape-shifters and, vampires too."
"Then why haven't we ever seen them walking around the town?" Mark asked.
"There all part of the Night World. Rowan answered. Werewolves, Shape-Shifters, Witches and, Vampires, all live in the same world you live in but without you knowing. It's one of the best kept secrets in the entire Night World."
"Then how do you know about it?" Mary-Lynette asked skeptically. Even if these girls were her friends, they seemed a bit crazy. Maybe their not really our friends
Mary-Lynette thought. What if they escaped from the psychiatric ward her and are just speaking nonsense.
"Because." Rowan stared at her calmly. "Krestal, Jade and I are vampires."
Mary-Lynette gasped and leaned back farther in her bed. They really are crazy. She thought.
Mark pulled back from Jade as if she was on fire; it was as if he pulled the rope that held onto her tears as they now came flowing down her beautiful face.
"Please don't be afraid of us." Rowan explained raising her hands up in alarm. "We do not harm people. In fact we are some of your closest friends. You both helped us with the were-wolf issue and you both did a blood primes allowing you to become family. We would never hurt you. Do you believe us?"
Mary-Lynette looked between Rowan and the two other girls quickly. This is nuts! She reassured herself. But somewhere in her, this felt…right. Like this was something she had heard before, something that made her remember something. This was as much remembering as she had gotten since she found herself in the hospital so maybe, maybe she should listen to these girls. No matter how crazy they sounded.
"I believe you." Mark and Mary-Lynette whispered at once, causing both to look at each other in alarm. "Does this mean I have a Vampire girlfriend?" Mark asked with a small smile causing everyone –even Krestal- to laugh.
"Well that's the next thing we should explain." Jade leaned down to become eye level with Mark. "I'm your soul mate. We were made for each other and we have a connection that allows us to speak to each other without anyone else hearing us. It's private and special." She reached out and touched his hand softly and soon they were in their own little world. It was light and it was warm, it was the place that Jade had wanted to stay with Mark forever.
"So were you girls sisters before or after you changed into vampires?" Mary-Lynette asked as her brother and jade wrapped themselves in their own little bubble.
"Oh." Rowan came back to the room after being lost in thought with Krestal. "We aren't made vampires. We're Lamia. We are naturally born vampires who descended from Maya the first Vampire. We can have children and grow up like normal humans but, made vampires cant."
"Oh." Mary-Lynette nodded "I see. Is it just you and your sisters then?"
Rowan looked away slightly. "No. It's not. We ran away from our parents and brother to live out here. He actually came back here and helped us with Jeremy."
"That must have been hard." Mary-Lynette whispered reaching out with her u injured arm and placing her hand on Rowan's.
"It was. But we had to do it." Rowan said.
"Why?" Mary-Lynette asked.
"Because our father is a lunatic." Krestal replied turning towards her sister. "He wants to take over the entire earth and create a Night World."
Mary-Lynette gasped. "He can't do that can he?"
Krestal shrugged "If he gets a wild power he can."
"Wild what?" Mary-Lynette cried.
"Wild powers. There's a prophecy that says that if the four wild powers come together and fight for good the world will be safe. But if we only get three the whole world will fall into darkness. And that's what Redfern wants. But we shouldn't talk about that now. Rowan looked out the window at the setting sun. "We left them. It's time for you to sleep. She turned and pulled a blanket over Mary-Lynette's body. Rowan asked her sisters to follow her and the three of them left the room. With a smile Jade turned of the over hanging light.
No fangs. Mary Lynette thought. Just like I thought.
