Mysteries of the night
Chapter 4
Emily was very confused, she looked at Kieran in confusion. "They're keeping something from us." She thought quietly, knowing Kieran would hear her. He looked at her in confusion. "I don't know what, but we need to find out, it must be something big." Kieran nodded.
"Emily, stop it.!" Rob looked sternly at Emily. "You know I can hear you too." Emily looked at the floor sheepishly. "Sorry, she thought." She looked at Kieran they both nodded. They looked at Billy, both Bella and Rob looked at Billy and nodded.
"Let's carry on with the vampire story." Billy continued. "I'm getting tired of my own voice though, Robert, maybe you would like to tell your tale tonight." Rob looked at Billy in confusion but nodded. He sat around facing the children and started talking his harp like voice drawing the kids in with his first breathe.
"O.k. Where do I begin. I guess I start with the part when Geraldine found me in my favourite hide-out. You see, I was hiding because the world had found out about vampires and anyone who was proven to be a vampire would be burnt. Of course I couldn't go out in the sun anyway, but people started suspecting me and I was then on the run. Geraldine had a screaming child in her arms, she was crying herself. I let her in my little hut I had and took Charlotte from her. I warmed up a little snack and fed the child, she soon settled and Geraldine made a cot appear. I placed her in their with her teddy and she soon fell asleep. Geraldine began to tell me about what had happened, she told me that there was a spell on Charlotte not to age until I had children of my own so she didn't feel so different. Geraldine told me that I had to look after Charlotte and that she has to go do some business. She flew off far into the night and I was left with a child. I knew I had to look after the child. I did what any decent person would, I waited a couple years for the whole vampire thing to die down, and I moved here, to England, where sun was unlikely. I knew then I had more chance of giving Charlotte a normal life. I could only stay in certain places a little while, but when I reached London, I found I wouldn't have to move after all. A little coven of vampires called the Raymond's had a little place their. I moved in with them for a few months, and they introduced me to more vampires. When I thought I was on my own, I really wasn't. The more vampires I met the more I found out about myself. I found out how to control my mind reading like my son" Rob smiled at Kieran and Kieran smiled back. Rob carried on with the story. "I met a human eventually, that I fell in-love with. Bella, she was beautiful and so amazing. She laughed at my jokes and loved me for me. She knew what I was straight away, which scared me as I thought she would run and tell everyone, instead she kept it completely to her self. The other vampires were starting to find out that Charlotte was a witch because even though she wasn't growing she was performing some little tricks with her mind. The other vampires didn't like this as they were seen as one of our enemies, then they found out I was with a human and they hated that even more. I had to move away from the Raymond coven as they turned on me and said they would come after me. So, I once again had to change location and Bella, Charlotte and I went to America. That is where we had Emily and Kieran." Kieran and Emily looked at each other and giggled.
"And, we're amazing" They laughed.
"That isn't where it ends, you all led normal lives and went to school and that is how we met Zack" The children all looked at Zack, remembering the first day they met in America in kindergarten. "Can, I tell this story, I've heard it so many times!" Emily cried out. She was always crying out for attention. The other kids moaned at Emily stood up and took Rob's place.
