Chapter Ten: The Family's Secret.

I walked into his office and he closed the door behind me. "Cecilia what's wrong? You know you can tell me anything." I wiped the tears from my eyes and grabbed a tissue off his desk.

He sat down at his desk. "Charlie something's…happening to me."

"Like what?"

"I…I'm able to read his mind…Rob's I mean. I don't understand why I am able to but I can and I'm freaked out about it."

Charlie looked normal like he knew already. He waited a few minutes to respond. "Do you remember the day Rob brought you back here to meet us?" I nodded. "Well Cecilia…I knew what you were. I knew you had powers…powers you did not know you had."

"Wait. Charlie. I don't understand. I don't know what Rob is all I know is that he isn't all human. Something about him…just doesn't age…I…I just don't know WHAT he is. When he did Twilight I never thought vampires and werewolves really exist here. I mean Vampire maybe?"

Charlie looked at me and I could tell he wanted to laugh. "Cecilia, do you understand the concept of being supernatural?"

"Well no not exactly, Charlie but I have seen the movies about people being…supernatural."

"Well it's not like what you see in the movies. They don't sparkle…obviously and they don't eat people, obvious as well. They do drink blood but only animal blood…they can survive on human food but they still need that every once in awhile…some more than others…depends on the vampire. The only thing different is that they have powers and are immortal. Has Rob ever…left you alone at night?"

"Not that I am aware of. Why?"

"Cecilia…he's a vampire. Like you thought. However I know what you are and why you are able to read minds. You, too, are a vampire. When I first met you, I knew. There is a certain…thing about you that sets it off to me and you had it. Have you ever had weird feelings?"

I thought about it for a few seconds and then it hit me…I do get abnormal feelings and urges that I had not understood until this very moment…but I still don't get all the feelings he is talking about or why I get them. "I have."

"Has it been weird cravings? Coldness, paler than usual?"

"Yes. All of them. Charlie how did I become a vampire?"

"Well there are two ways…one. It's hereditary but by my senses no one else in your family has it and you would get it from your mother or father and I know for a fact that they aren't. and two…well someone changes you into one. If this is too personal but when was the first time you and Rob spent the night together…not sexually or anything just in general?"

"Wow. We fell asleep the first time we met on the top of the house in the glass house and when I woke up I was in his bed…nothing had happened but sleeping."

"Well….then…." Charlie said continuing on…
