Chapter 4, Revealing the Secret
Jack woke up in the mid afternoon. It was bright outside with sun rays bleeding through his curtain. He looked towards the table and saw that the empty bowl of soup had disappeared. He sat up and removed the melted ice pack from his forehead. Standing up, he walked towards the door. Jack was going to tell his biggest secret in his life to his new family members, who he just known for a couple hours. Swiftly, he was from his bedroom to the clock shop with his vampire speed and turned back human. From there, he saw Leo stuffing something into his backpack.
"Oh hey Jack!" Leo said smiling at him. "You feeling better?"
The said boy slightly smiled and nodded. "Uh, Leo? I have to tell you something…"
It was like the boy didn't hear a word he said. "Have you ever gone to school before?"
"No but…"
"Oh, that's good. We enrolled you to Duel Academy with me."
Jack's eyes widen. "You what?"
"I knew you would be excited!"
Zora came into the room. "Oh Jack! Leo, did you tell him already?"
"Yeah! And he's super excited!"
Before Jack had a chance to say anything, a man opened the door. "I'm home."
All eyes faced him and Leo ran up and hugged the man tightly. "Daddy!"
Daddy… Jack's eyes widen. Th-the vampire hunter? The young blonde looked down at his shadow and saw it stood perfectly still.
"Who is this?" The hunter said.
Zora smiled and gave Jack a little push towards the man. "This is Jack. He's an orphan."
The two locked eyes, feared violet with calm chocolate brown. Leo's father eyes narrowed.
I think he knows our secrets… but I don't think he knows about me… Since I am one of a kind… Jack could hear Shadow's voice in his head.
"So tell me, Jack." He pushed the boys name a little too hard that Jack thought he could feel his spit on his skin. "Where did you come from? Before New Domino."
Jack's voice started to shake. "I-I-I-I c-c-can e-e-explain… I w-w-w-was a-a-about to t-t-t-tell them… I-I-I-I-I promise!"
Zora and Leo watched Jack trembling in fear. The vampire hunter stared with cold eyes but relaxed a bit. "Go ahead. Tell your story." He sat down.
The young boy sighed. "I was about to tell them, I swear, sir… It was that my hatred of humans needed to calm down a bit, you know."
"Hatred of humans? But you're human too, right?" Leo asked.
Jack's sad eyes looked at his and shook his head. "I'm not Leo… I was going to tell you… But…" He sighed. "This is harder than I thought. Shadow… Help me out here."
"Shadow?" the three asked. Even the vampire hunter expert didn't know.
"Ha. I told you he wouldn't know…" a voice said.
"What was that?" Leo asked, obviously terrified. He grabbed and held on tight to his mother's arm.
"Don't worry. Shadow won't harm anyone, unless I told him to." Jack said as he helped his black and white figure off the floor.
"Ah… It's feels much better to be above ground again." Shadow said, brushing invisible dust off of him. 3 pairs of eyes looked at him weirdly. "What…"
Leo looked down and didn't see a shadow attached to Jack's body. "Y-y-y-your sh-sh-shadow… I-i-i-It's gone!"
"Let me explain…" Jack sighed. Here goes my secret… "I fainted and had a slight fever when I heard you said that your father was a vampire hunter because… Uh… I…I…"
"SPIT IT OUT!" Shadow yelled in his face, which made Jack scared.
"I'm a vampire!" he said suddenly.
Silence filled the room before Leo asked. "Are you serious?"
Jack nodded. "Well… Actually… I'm a demon… Creature in other words…"
Everyone was surprised when Leo jumped and yelled; "I have an awesome brother!" Leo started orbiting around Jack. "What else can you do besides pull out your shadow?"
"Leo!" Leo turned and saw his parent's worried gazes. That was from Zora.
"Stay away from that monster!" Leo's father said.
Those words hit Jack in the guts. He began to see a vision. Many people were running away from him in this place. Some people turned around and said;
Don't get any closer!
He will kill all of us!
That monster!
Jack blinked back tears. His legs began to feel like Jell-O and he quickly feel down to his knees, covering his face with his bangs. Shadow looked down and saw tear trails falling down his cheeks. His eyes widen. That was the second time he saw Jack cried. Once already when he told Jack his parents was killed. Shadow began to get angry.
"Look at what you had done! Jack's crying because of you! He didn't do anything wrong! I know he may be different than you humans but his whole life he didn't drain anyone from their blood! He always hated humans because vampire hunters killed his family… But he didn't want to hurt anybody… Nobody…" Shadow silenced for a short time. Then he continued. "All I'm trying to get at is… There are good creatures and demons in the world. But you hunters just killed them anyways! They should change your name… Instead of vampire hunter… It should vampire murderers…"
Shadow didn't wait for a response. He helped Jack up and went into their shared room. The black and white figure sat Jack down on the bed and sat next him.
"I'm sorry… I made this mess…"
Jack looked up at Shadow, tear trails still visible on his cheeks. "What do you mean?"
"I told you to tell them about your true form… I made you cry in front of them… For that… I'm sorry…"
Shadow looked up and saw Jack smiling. "Shadow. You were brave to tell them all that." He hugged his dull colored twin. "I'm not mad at you."
Shadow hugged back. "Thank you… Thank you for forgiving me…"
They sat in bed in silence, unknowing the family of 3 were downstairs talking.
"Right… So tomorrow then… If he comes down…" Zora said.
"Well… It was daddy's fault…"
"How was it my fault?"
"You are the one that called Jack a, I quote, 'monster.' For that, you should apologize."
The hunter looked at his son, who was defending the demon. He sighed, obviously defeated when he saw the same look on his wife's face. "Fine…"
With that, Zora and Leo nodded and went upstairs. That had been a tiring evening and no one was hungry for dinner. Except maybe Shadow who was complaining while Jack tried to ignore him and sleep. What will await the two the next day?
A/N: How exciting! What will await the two the next day? What is the family of 3 planning to do? How are they going to do it? Where will I get a cheeseburger? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter! I sound so cheesy… Anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed it! Spread the word about this story! Getting more reviews gives me a boost up for writing! *wink and snap* See you next chapter!
