Flashback
Carlene heard footsteps. Derrick and Cam came around the corner carrying Massie. Alicia, Kemp, and Josh trailed behind them.
"What did you do to her?" Carlene asked kind of curious. She looked really unconscious. Like almost dead. Well she was dead but you get the point!
"We took your advice and drugged her." Derrick answered making it sound like knocking people out was just a day to day thing for him.
"Ka.. but Chris and Kemp keep an eye on her so when she wakes up we can tell her everything. Josh, Cam, Kristen, and Derrick watch outside for them." Carlene ordered.
They all nodded. Josh, Derrick, Kristen and Cam split up outside each taking corner. Everything was silent until Dylan turned on the television to watch her mom's show The Daily Grind. Alicia went into the kitchen probably to watch something other than The Daily Grind, on the television in the Kitchen.
"Hey. Carlene. Did you tell Anna or Keith about Ms. Massie over there yet?" Alicia asked from the Kitchen. Carlene walked into the Kitchen and took a seat at their Kitchen table.
"No. I should call though. When they get home they'll smell the new scent and they'll think we got into some kind of trouble." Carlene said taking out her cell phone. She dialed Anna's number and she didn't answer.
"Hey Anna. It's Carlene. You know how I told you that Derrick was hiding something well… We found a newborn vampire except, she doesn't quite realize what she is yet. Anyways… see you when you get home. Bye!" Carlene said and hung up. She dialed Keith's number and he didn't answer so she left the same message for him except, with his name and not Anna's.
"Carlene! She's up!" Kemp shouted from the living room. "And she looks really pissed. Hurry up."
Carlene ran into the living room where she was greeted by frantic looks from Kemp and Plovert and a death glare from Massie. Alicia walked in the living room and stood right behind Carlene. You could tell she was still mad about this morning but, she tried her best to hid it.
"Before you yell can you at least let us explain?" Carlene asked, Massie nodded "Well have you been having really good hearing? Running faster than usual? Not wanting to eat lately? Do you know what you are?"
"What… How? I mean yes to all of those except the last one." Massie said her voice cracking. "What do you mean by what I am? I mean all I remember from the move is fainting then waking up and hurting everywhere."
"Well basically…… there is no easy way to tell you that you'll believe me. But you are a vampire." Carlene explained "And we are too. But well it' s a little more complicated than that."
Massie nodded and Carlene continued "You see we don't drink human blood. We drink animal blood. As gross as the whole blood drinking thing sounds you need it to live."
"Hmm…. Interesting. I thought I was just sick. It makes sense though. And as much as I think I'm going crazy I believe you." Massie said. "I'm just getting this vibe that your telling the truth."
"Vibe? Carlene I think she controls earth. You know like you and Alicia control ice and fire?" Plovert asked "Well I think she can control earth, because then she can tell if your lying by the vibes your body realeases when your lying.
"I think your right Plovert." Carlene said thinking "Well Massie we're going to ask you right now. Do you want to drink animal blood or human blood? Because we're kind of in a war here against the human blood drinkers and don't worry we won't hurt you if you choose their side. We just need to know because….. they'll be here in a few minutes."
"Uh… Animal blood. I mean to actually kill a human and drink their blood that's disgusting. But I think I can handle the animals." Massie stated.
Carlene heard a noise outside and nodded for Chris and Kemp to go check it out. They heard the noises enter through the Kitchen and then they heard them talking to each other. Carlene started walking towards the door, nodding at Dylan, Claire, and Alicia to block the line of sight to Massie. Carlene walked into the Kitchen. Alec, Seth, and Cade stared at Carlene.
"Carlene. So good to see you again." Alec said. Alec was Aidan's twin. They both looked a lot alike but you could see the differences very clearly.
"I could say the same if I knew why you were here." Carlene said already knowing the answer but, just wanting to hear it out loud.
"Oh we were just in the neighborhood and we smelled a new smell and we noticed a new vampire was here. But then again you already knew that." Alec responded his tone cheerful "So if you'll hand over the girl we'll be on our way."
"I don't think so. You can just go on your way right now while your still in one piece." Carlene said matching his cheerful tone "Or you'll give us a reason not to send you back at all."
Alec frowned. He looked at Seth and Cade. Alec didn't enjoy playing with even numbers. Even though they took risks they knew what was just plain dumb. So at light speed he put something in my hand and then him, Seth, and Cade disappeared as fast as they appeared. Carlene opened her palm and lying in it was a note.
We'll get her eventually. – Aidan
It was like he was physic and knew what was going to happen. And how it was going to play out even though he didn't see the future. Carlene laughed for Aidan predicting ability. I mean it's not like we were predictable.
"Well that was boring I didn't even get a chance to knock out Cade." Carlene said walking into the living room.
"Oh yea no one beats you without you, getting back at them and ten times harder." Kemp said following her. "You know my shoulder is still sore from the last time you punched me."
Carlene shrugged and laughed "Well next time don't get me angry and you won't get hurt. Right now I think it's better if we all train her tomorrow. Right now she needs rest she's still too young to not need any sleep."
They all nodded. Dylan took Carlene to one of the guest rooms, got her a change of clothes, and told Cam to stay outside by her window in case they came back.
The next day Massie woke up around 7 in the morning. Derrick took her to go hunt and after that to train her on attacking with her teeth. When they came back Plovert taught her how to hit the right way. Finally it was Carlene's turn to train teach her something.
"Ok Massie I can tell by your little limo legs that you don't work a lot." Carlene said "We're going to fix that I'm going to teach you how to learn your talent some more. Kaa…?"
Massie nodded. Carlene showed Massie how to strech the vampire way not the human way. It was a good thing that they lived on a huge estate so no one could see them or pay attention to what they were doing.
"First, I need you to take a defensive positition otherwise, when someone tries to hit you, you won't be able to meet their attack with your own." Carlene demonstrated a defensive position and Massie copied her example.
"Ok now I want you to focus on that rock right there. Then try to move it by letting the energy flow through you." Carlene ordered. Massie nodded, she closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
Some kind of energy hit her, she thought it was energy but decided to just go with it. Massie opened her eyes and focused them on the huge rock that was at least 100 feet away. She moved her hand forward and then pulled it back, still focusing on the rock. Suddenly the rock was a good 4 feet in front of her.
"Very nice. I would have expected it would take longer but you are after all Massie Block." Carlene said a little humor in her tone. "Now break it into 20 different pieces all the same shape. I just want to see what your limit is."
Massie nodded at her and took a few deep breaths. She focused on the rock imagining the rock in 20 equal pieces. Then it went from this big rock into - from her estimate – into the 20 pieces. She was overwellelmed with joy from her success. Carlene looked a little impressed by her success.
"Interesting you learn just as fast as me. Believe me that's saying something." Carlene said thinking "Ok here is what were going to do now. Your going to fight me. Don't worry I won't hurt you, your skin doesn't burn unless I make it really hot – which I won't - and I just want to see what happens when your overwhelmed with adrenaline."
Massie nodded and took her defensive position (improving Carlene's just a little). Carlene took a defensive position of her own. Massie made a rock come out of the ground and threw it at Carlene, which she dodged gracefully. Carlene made a little flame into a huge ball of fire and shot it at Massie. Massie met it with a rock, but the fire didn't stop it still came at Massie, burning through the rock wall. Massie painacked but, she went down into the earth and covered the top, waited a few seconds, and came up.
After a hour of that, in which no one won, they heard clapping. They turned and saw Derrick, Cam, and Josh. Carlene grinned at Massie then turned to grin at all of them. Massie wipped the sweat that had appeared on her head after 5 minutes of fighting with Carlene and to think that Carlene was going easy on her!
"I think it's time for a break Carlene. Look at her she's about to fall." Derrick explained "But you are the only one who Carlene has even let, come close to beating her."
"Well I agree. I'm tired too. You know how fighting wears me out." Carlene said "Massie would you like to tan with me by the pool?"
Massie nodded "Yea. I could use a break. Your so much better than me. It's hard to believe you were going easy on me. Plus swimming calms me and that seems to help when I'm moving rock."
Carlene nodded still smiling and they headed inside leaving the boys outside to do who knows what. Carlene led Massie and threw a bikini at her, that was white with green polka dots. Carlene put on a similar one only this one had purple polka dots. They walked towards the pool.
Carlene sat down on lawn chair near the flowers that surrounded the pool area making it smell wonderful. Carlene put on her sunglasses and closed her eyes. Massie jumped into the pool happy to cool down after the workouts she had all day. Carlene bolted up after 5 minutes of silence.
"Did you hear that?" Carlene said just as guess who appears? Aidan, Seth, and Harris. Aidan and Seth looked at Carlene but Harris looked at Massie. Seth and Cade apparently in a way "liked" Carlene, Harris didn't care for any of the girls but, from the vibe Carlene was getting from the way he stared at Massie made her think he liked Massie, and Aidan he was such a mystery.
"I don't think so." Carlene said positioning herself in between them and Massie. "Alicia, Dylan, take Massie inside."
Even though Carlene muttered this Alicia and Dylan suddenly appeared. They glared at Aidan, Seth, and Harris who were all gritting their teeth but standing perfectly still for some reason. They picked Massie up and rushed her inside and Alicia came back outside in case Carlene needed help (which she rarely did).
"Massie has made her desicision. And she chose us. Shocker there huh? So basically you have no business coming here 24/7 anymore." Carlene said her tone the farthest thing from cheerful.
"Oh. You wouldn't want that now would you?" Aidan said into her ear appearing right next to her. Carlene took this as a chance to punch him, ignoring the shiver that went down her spine, and sent him against a tree. Not hard though, not that she would tell anyone though. He came back laughing.
"You always were so head strong." Aidan said still laughing, making Carlene just as happy as she was mad he her. For some odd reason Seth appeared next to her and punched her in the ribs, hard, very hard so much that it hurt. She gasped with Alicia echoing her gasp but knowing better than to interfear. Carlene thought she hear Aidan hiss. Carlene stumbled back but straightened up her side still throbbing.
"Your dead!" Carlene yelled at him. Alicia appeared next to her holding her back but just barely. Carlene struggled and felt someone else more stronger than Alicia hold her back. Derrick.
"Let me go just let me kill him half way." Carlene pleaded "Come on you know you want to see me kill him. Please?"
Derrick shook his head and smiled. Carlene calmed down and Derrick let her go. Carlene glared at Seth who winked at her and she almost attacked him but composed herself fast before she could do anything drastic.
"You know that's no way you get girls." Carlene explained "But then again the last girl who liked you died."
Seth growled probably remembering the memory. He had been liking this human girl…. Amanda.. and was in love. Well summer love. He told her the truth and how he drank human blood but, surprisingly she still loved him. Anyways it was her birthday and she was cutting onions in her kitchen. Alone. With him. She cut herself and well the smell was too tempting and he killed her. But he moved on fast to Carlene but still felt horribly angry when someone mentioned her in the wrong way.
Carlene smiled at her letting the venom drip off her teeth. Aidan looked bemused but, Seth looked ready to pounce. And that's exactly what he did. Carlene saw him in the air and felt it when he punched her. She went flying at least 300 feet in the air, landed a mile away (still on the Slovack estate though), and flew into the trees, knocking down most of them. She let out a ear spearcing screech. Aidan and Alicia were right next to her in a minute.
Alicia nodded at Aidan and he examined her. He had a healing how can I explain it, a healing talent. Meaning he was examining her bones without using a x-ray and he could heal you without using any hospital tools or anything like that. I mean even though vampires can't get hurt easily when Seth (strong if not stronger than Carlene) hit her in her already sore ribs he could've done some damage.
Carlene heard him gasp and then Alicia gasp when she saw Carlene's bones when Aidan projected the picture in her head. Carlene couldn't move so she did what made the most since to her and what she couldn't fight. She blacked out.
