This hadn't gone the way I thought it would. I imagined that we would be sitting in some where private and I would tell her that I had something to tell her something she needed to know, that's when I would tell her that I was a vampire and once she was ok with that after how long it would have taken I would tell her about mates and what it means for us but, that had been replaced with the picture of her face when she seen that I was a vampire was burned into my mind, those fear filled greyish blue eyes, her body shaking and bleed while she sat on the road with a pieces of car we had been in all around us. A strange thought crossed my mind one that Id never had before, I found myself wishing for the first time that I was a human.
"Well, she's a ray of sunshine, isn't she." Ethan said breaking the silence.
"I blew it Ethan." I said putting my hands of the side of my head thinking about pushing them in.
"She'll come around, don't worry." He said trying to make me feel better.
"You didn't see the way she looked at me, when she seen what I was." I sighed.
"A vampire almost killed both of you and she had just regained consciousness. You would be freaked out too, did you ever think of that?" Ethan said as we pulled into the drive way.
"No, I didn't." I admitted reluctantly.
"Well, there you go." He said getting out of the car.
We got out of the car and headed inside into the lions den that was going to right off the bat drill me with questions about tonight and what my plan was. Which I hadn't thought of yet. We walked at human pace to the front door and went inside, there was slight chatter coming from in the living room before it stopped entirely as Ethan walked thought and I followed behind him.
"Ian, I'm so glad you're already." My mom said hugging me.
"I love you mom but, can you please hug me after my back is healed?" I asked her.
"Oh, alright." She said releasing me.
"What happened tonight?" My dad asked.
"How bad is my car?" Roman asked getting a smack on the arm from Tegan.
"How's Luna?" Tegan asked with genuine concern.
"One question at a time guys." Ethan budded in.
"I didn't know he was following us until it was to late. I tried to speed up but, it wasn't working so when he started coming at us I shielded Luna as best as I could but, he hit the car and we went sliding across the road and flipped over. She was bleeding so I got us out as fast as I could but, the vampire was waiting in the trees and attacked me. I threw him a few feet and Luna saw everything and totally freaked out." I sped through my explanation.
"That seems a little drastic, why would the vampire attack you like that?" April asked.
"Because Ian and I tracked him to where he's living." Ethan answered for me.
"He doesn't want us getting in the way of what he wants." I sighed.
"Which is?" Thomas asked.
"Luna, obviously." I snapped.
"We'll make sure that doesn't happen, now come with me." Tegan said getting up.
"Alright." I said and followed her up stairs.
I was sitting on her bed with a towel under me as Tegan stared pulling out the pieces of glass. There was a slight pulling sensation before I could feel the skin knitting back together just as soon as she'd taken them out. The silence of the room had calmed me down some and allowed me to think about the current situation. I would have to find away to protect Luna from a distance or at least until I could talk to her about what happened and about the vampire thats stalking her. I felt another pull and I decided to break the silence.
"Thank you." I said finally speaking.
"For what?" Tegan asked me pulling at my back.
"Getting me out of there, it's been a crazy night and I didn't want to have questions thrown around at me." I told her as she pulled another piece of glass out of my skin.
"I know. As soon as you walked into my living room I was how hard you were trying to hide your emotions and once you snapped at Thomas I knew I had to get you out of there." She said her voice calm.
"How did you know?" I asked her.
"I'm your sister, it's easy for me to see when something is bothering you or your upset or hurt. Just like I can with Ethan." She answered and I could tell her was smiling by the sound of her voice.
"This whole night had gone so wrong Tegan and it's my fault. I was so sure that if I tracked his scent to where he was staying I could have ended it before anything like this happened. Ouch!" I said wincing.
"Sorry! That one was really in there but, Ian you can't blame yourself for this. I know what its like wanting to protect your mate. I fled my home for Roman and I would do it again and again. Its what our kind does." She paused before getting back to the glass pieces.
"Ethan says it had more to do with the accident and waking up on the road but, it was more than that Tegan. The way she looked at me, it was different." I whispered the last word.
"At least she knows the truth now." Tegan sighed.
"Just before we pulled up to the house, I wished I was human for the first time ever." I told her being completely honest.
"You wish you were human?" She repeated.
"Not really." I said honestly.
"Well, don't let mom and dad hear you say that and I'm done." She said pulling the towel out from under me.
My blood had dried onto my back so I got up and headed out of Tegan's room and straight to the bathroom. I watched the bloody water pool into the tub before going down the drain until the water ran clear. I had to come up with some kind of plan, I could easily find her house but, that might make thing worse. I could take my dads car to the spot we would meet and hope she shows up, seemed like my best shot. I got out of the shower and headed to my room to change and go join my family.
I got to the middle of the stairs before I felt my body tingle and made me pause. I smelt the air and I was drawn to a familiar scent that was coming from outside. Tegan came around the corner and seen my standing there looking at the door before she raised an eyebrow at me, I ran down the rest of the stars and past her opening the door to see Luna standing at the end of the drive way.
