Chapter 14
I pulled my lips away from Alexander's, he looked at me, his eyes turning red again, "Henry, leave... please" he muttered quietly. He jumped up and scurried out the door in to the kitchen.
I looked at the ground, unsure what was up next on this traumatic day.
"I think its best that you sit down"
"Umm, sure"
"So, anything you would like to know, or should I just start from the beginning?"
"Beginning seems like a good place to start"
"Your sarcasm really bugs me sometimes... but that's what I like about you"
"Err, thank you?"
"Okay... well I am not sure what Henry told you but... I was sixteen when I was walking home late one evening, after dropping my girlfriend off home from a date, when a young beautiful woman, named Breanna asked me to help her with some car trouble, she led me to a car, then she pushed me up against the car and kissed me, then bit me, like you did, I blacked out and woke up in my room, with my mother sitting on a chair asleep next to my bed, I woke her up and she told me that Breanna had brought me home and explained what I now was, and why she had done it, Henry was only a baby then, so he didn't learn till about my age..."
"What was Breanna's reason for changing you?"
"Well, her reason still doesn't make sense to me, but she said that there was a war, a terrible war that will begin in the future, that threatens to destroy the world, and she believes I am the one who can stop it, well me and one other, she expects me to find the one other person to help, she told me that her name is Scarlet, and that I will have found the right Scarlet when she loves me in return... but right now I don't think it will work, not with my crappy past anyway?"
"Don't say that, you never know, I mean, does Breanna say when this war will start?"
"Yes... the war is supposed to start on the 24th of August... the day I killed my parents"
"I am really sorry, what year exactly?"
"Next year, that's why I am panicking!"
"Tell me more about the Breanna woman?"
"Well she was the first ever Xenotime, her mother was a vampire and her father was a shape shifter... those are all real too, but anyway, she is the oldest one, the creator of me and the other four alive, there are six Xenotime's in the whole world, and we cannot change anyone without her permission, she is like out ruler, our Queen"
"What is she like, where is she?"
"She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, but she loves no one, not even her parents... she is a dark evil woman Scarlet, you must never go near her, speak to her, she is very dangerous"
"Why can't she stop this war that is coming?"
"She is planning on suicide, soon... and she wants me to be the next ruler, king I guess, she lives here in England, somewhere in London, last I heard of her, but the other four Xenotime's, well they are all over the world, and this was, well it's supposed to between Xenotime's and, well, we don't know yet?"
"Umm, okay, the red eye thing, I've noticed it only happens when you looked at me, why?"
"Well, our eyes turn red when we, how should I put this, turned on, like horny, if that's what you call it"
"What?"
