Chapter 4 RFTV

"You haven't met Elizabeth yet," said Alexis.
"She should come back from hunting soon," said Erik.
"She's probably munching on a deer right now," said Alexis.
"I thought vampires only ate human blood," I said.
"Some times we eat animals," said Greg.
"It's not as good as humans," said Erik.
"But at least no one will notice they are gone," said Alexis.

"Normally we try to get the bigger animals like cougars or bears," said Erik, "But if we have a long trip we eat something small for a snack."
"Like owls or rats," said Greg.
"Do the bloods taste different?" I asked.
"Yes," said Alexis.
"My favorite blood is from mountain lions," said Erik.
"Even though they're hard to catch," said Alexis, "I love eagle blood."
"Bear blood is probably the most refreshing animal blood out there," said Greg.
"Of coarse we all know how much Greg loves drinking murderer blood, said Erik.
"He tries his best not to kill the innocent," said Alexis.
"Just like the night he killed the three people," I said.
"What?" Erik asked.
"Three people were trying to kill me," I explained, "He killed them then accidently killed me."

The door burst open. Elizabeth walked in.
"Elizabeth, we just bought a new lock," whined Alexis.
"I forgot my key," said Elizabeth.
"So you couldn't have rung the door bell?" asked Erik.
"That's the boring way to do it," said Elizabeth as she closed the door.
"Well the boring way doesn't cost us money," said Erik. Elizabeth ran over to Greg and kissed him.
"Who's this?" asked Elizabeth. No one said anything. "Don't tell me this is Channy."
"Well," I said.
"She's too young to be allowed," said Elizabeth.
"I know she may seem young at first, but she's worth the risk," said Alexis.
"Really?" I asked.
"Totally," said Alexis.
"Fine, we'll allow her to stay," said Elizabeth, "But she needs to stay out of the way of the other vampires."
"She's right, our friends should not know about this unless it's necessary," said Alexis.

After a few hours I went hunting with Dave. His favorite animal to drink is a tie between a bear, a cougar, and a deer.
"I smell deer," said Dave. I licked my lips in hunger.
"Go for it," he whispered. I ran for the deer. It ran off. I jumped over a root from a nearby tree and ducked under some low branches as I ran towards the deer. It made a sharp turn and headed for some bushes. As I was turning, I spun into a tree.
"Grrrr," I said. Dave ran after me.
"Don't feel bad, even old vampires have trouble hunting," he said.
"I better find something else," I said. Dave ran off and I smelled deer blood. He had caught the deer. Even though the blood beckoned me to chase after him, I knew it was common vampire kindness not to steal another vampire's blood. I ran north so the blood would not block my scent of other animals. I smelled a bunny, but it wouldn't be enough. I smelled a moose. She was lost.

I pounced on it and bit it's neck. She kept yelling out and squirming. Finally, I sucked all the blood out through her back. After a few minutes I walked back to the trail. Dave was waiting for me.
"Let's go home," he said.

I returned home and everyone else was gone.
"Probably hunting," said Dave. Ari walked downstairs.
"Except for one," she said, "I'll watch the house meanwhile you should probably buy the new door lock." Dave left.
Ari and I sat on the couch.
"I have a question," I said.
"Ok, what?" asked Ari.
"Why is Elizabeth so scared of me?"

"It's not you personally, she's had a bad experience with newborns," answered Ari.
"Really?"
Ari nodded and said, " Before she was in this clan, she was in a different clan called the Roderians. They had been in existence for 70 years. She was the second to last one to join. The last one to join was a immortal child. She quit the clan because of it."
"What happened to the clan?" I asked.
"A year after she left all of its members were killed," said Ari, "Including the baby."
"Wow, does every member of this clan have back stories?" I asked.
"I'll tell you them, but you can't tell anyone else I did," responded Ari.
"I Promus I won't tell," I said.

"Jessica started this clan. She dated a vampire a long time ago; thirty years I think. They broke up and she later on dated a vampire named Yaminashi. He was killed by the Volturi for overhunting. She says that dating gets in the way of her life, so she is currently single. Before she started this clan she was transformed by a guy who thought he had killed her while she was a vampire, but she lived."
"Wow," I said as I felt a burst of energy, " What are the other back stories."
