My mother disappeared when Bliss and I were only two years old, her partner Ben thought it would be safer for the three of us to move to the U.S were we are currently living now. He was human but he looked after us like his own, he new what we were but he loved us and we loved him. Bliss loved him like her own father since we never knew ours. I often dreamt of my mother, she would visit me in my dreams; she began to visit me when I was only ten years old, but she recently stopped just after mine and Bliss's birthday. The last ever dream I had about her was quite strange it felt like it was actually happening.
I was standing in a white silk tunic at my grandmothers house in Venice Italy where I was born I turned around and that's when I saw her. She was standing by a pond with water so dark it looked black, under an apple tree that was in full blossom, she wore a white silk dress. She held a golden locket that looked like half a sun and half a moon put together to make one whole circle in one hand and a small knife in the other.
She beckoned for me to come over and I did, she stood with her back toward me her long light brown hair flowed like a river down her slender back, her pale skin was bright in the moon light when she turned around I thought she was Bliss they looked so alike that is was amazing. The only resemblance that we shared was our eyes light blue and fiery. She walked behind me and clipped the locket around my neck she then signalled for my hand and I gave it to her, she cut my hand open with out warning and then the other all of a sudden golden blood dribbled from my wounds, she then knelt down bringing me with her. She pushed me into the dark pond; my blood turned the water golden and bright. Out of no where came Bliss she looked beautiful, it was hard to believe she was my sister; she was wearing a white silk dress as well.
Our mother then presented her with a silver locket exactly the same as mine. she cut both her palms but instead of golden liquid seeping out of the broken skin, silver liquid ran smoothly over her pale skin she pushed Bliss into the water. As soon as Bliss hit the water the pond began to boil and bubble it burned my skin the water changed from gold to silver to the colour of blood then back to its original colour. Bliss grabbed my hand and everything stoped. The blisters from my burnt body had vanished completely the cuts on my palms were gone and I felt as if I had just been drained of energy.
When we exited the pond there was a faint swampy groggy smell lingering in the air, I saw our mother sniff the air her fangs beared at the same time, she ran towards the forest and we followed, the smell grew stronger and stronger I felt as if something was following me and no one else. I turned around and something or someone leaped on me with such strength I was forced to the ground it was another vampire its fangs were beared against my neck when Bliss came out of no where with such anger in her eyes I felt it in my own heart, but instead of her heading for the person attacking me she was headed straight for me, before she could lay a hand on me our mother spoke to me "save her, you are the last hope" then the dream faded
When I woke up in the morning my sight was blurred, I felt weaker than I have ever felt and I hated it, I ran my fingers over my bare chest where the locket once sat. I had a scar there the exact same one that was engraved into the locket there were two of them, one below the other.
I started to hear Bliss in my head which was odd because just yesterday I could not. I thought back to the dream how our blood mingled in the pond. I remember reading somewhere that in doing so it would create a bloodbond which only vampiric twins can carry out and that our mother must of done this to protect us from whoever captured her. Bliss's thoughts were so strong I knew that she wanted to talk to me, I felt as if she felt strong and she wanted to talk about her dream to ask if I thought if the dream had anything to do with it, when she finally did she seemed scared in a way, I showed her my scar and she had the exact same one, when she showed me I new for a fact that it was defiantly a bloodbond. As the day went on I felt weird like a sick feeling that someone had just died like a nausea rolling over me making me want to hurl, that's when I saw him.
In a small car just out of town parked outside a small diner was Ben he sat there lifeless all blood drained from him and cold. After that I avoided Bliss for the majority of the day, and what could I possibly say? I did not want to tell because I new how close she was to him I new that she would never forgive herself for not being able to protect him even though she was not the one who caused this to happen. So I waited until the police came to our house, I new they would for I was beginning to see the future.
I was waiting outside trying hard to avoid her. When the police arrived I stayed outside by the garden I knew that Bliss was looking for me I could feel it strongly, she had no idea what was going on, but I couldn't be there I could not stand to see her so sad. I chose to stay outside in the garden that Ben had planted last summer it reminded me of him. I ran my hand over the top of one once red poppy but now one dull dead bulb as I did the bulb sprang to life and once again the red poppy was a beautiful flower again it made me feel wonderful inside and I couldn't help but be pleased with myself.
The police left and Bliss was looking for me I still couldn't face her I didn't want to become sad just by watching her become sad, a tidal wave of anger washed over me and I new I had to pick my sack up and talk to her. When I entered the kitchen Bliss was sitting there red eyed and miserable I felt bad for not being here earlier but I couldn't bear it, I held her which was a first for the both of us.
She rested her head on my shoulder and sobbed. I told her about how in the dream a bloodbond was created so that we could protect each other. I knew little about bloodbonds but I new that the bond was suppose to work both ways and that in our case it didn't. She got pretty annoyed that I could read her mind and that she couldn't read mine, she got angry when I told her that I could feel her every feeling as well.
