I woke up to my ringtone, Bite My Tongue by You Me at Six playing full blast. It was Alana calling me.
'What' I answered groggily
'Where are you, we've got a maths test in 20 minutes' she replied
'I'm in bed, I can't come today'
'What why, are you okay, has anything happened?' she asked those question in a mouthful
'Yeah I'm just ill'
'Ok I'll see you tomorrow then, get better' she said sweetly
'Yeah sure' and I cut the phone off. Then it all came back, , my mom and brothers are vampires and Priya and Tobias are shape shifters and that guy Ed. And I'm a half vampire half witch thing that has to pack up her whole life and move to America. I looked at the clock it was 1.40PM I see no one decided to wake me up. I jumped in the shower and got dressed into some black skinny jeans and a shirt that has Super Mario on it. I tied my curly hair into a pony tail and blow dried and straightened my full fringe. I didn't put any make up on too much effort.
I walked down stairs and made my way to the kitchen to see Mom, Alex Josh, Tobias, and Priya and Ed standing there, they were obviously waiting for me.
'Emma can I talk to you for a moment' my mom said breaking the silence
'Kay' I said simply she walked into the living room and I followed her like a lost puppy
'you're going to America now, your suitcases are packed and in the car and your going for two weeks if everything goes to plan, I know you think that im abandoning you, but this is the safest thing for all us.' She said while standing by the fireplace, I had nothing to say to that because I just go TOLD moving.
'don't be like that, it's the best thing, you'll understand in the long run' She said in a quiet voice. I walked over her to hug her. And we stood like that for a few seconds.
'Do you have any questions before you go?' mom asked me after letting me go
'Well there is one, is there any way I can you know, block my thoughts I don't really appreciate people knowing what I'm thinking' I asked her
'There is but only full super naturals can' she said, she saw the disappointment in my face because she asked me if I wanted to try anyway.
'Clear your mind, take deep breaths and empty your soul' my mother said calmly while holding onto my hands. I did what she said
'Now imagine a wall growing, blocking your thoughts from the outside world' and that's what I did. I opened my eyes to see my mom she looked shell shocked
'What's wrong' I asked quickly
'You did it' she said her face suddenly gleaming with pride
'So you can't hear what I'm thinking' I said hopefully
'Nope, my baby's growing up' she said before pulling me into another hug
'Ok Tobias, Priya and Ed are in the car, your brothers want to see you before you go. I love you' my mom said through tears before kissing me on the cheek and going upstairs. Just then Alex and Josh came in and just stood there.
'Vampires huh?' I said trying to fill the air
'Yup' Josh said popping the P
'You know it feels weird not knowing what you're thinking now' Alex said with a grin on his face. I walked over to them both and pulled them down into a hug
'I'm going to miss you' Alex said
'Same' Josh chimed in
'I'm only going for a couple of weeks' I said
'I mean I'm going to miss the sweet little sister we had a few days ago' and then I started crying. What the hell was wrong with me?
'Ok I've gotta go but I'll see you soon' I said and walked out the living room to the car.
