Chapter 1: Gone

Nessie's POV

I couldn't find it in myself to pay attention to what was being said. I could hear the teacher speaking but I wasn't paying him an ounce of attention. A few months ago I would've killed for the opportunity to even go to school but now things were different. I had begged and begged my mom to let me go to school for as long as I could remember but she always refused. Why? Because I was a hybrid. Half human and half vampire. Mom didn't want to risk that I would accidentally lose control and suck a human dry one day.

So it has been to my total surprise when a few months ago, on my seventh birthday, my mom told me that I could enroll in high school. I was only seven years old but physically and mentally I was a teenager. My unusual combination of genetics had made it so that I would age much faster than normal humans. We had no idea when it would stop as we had never met another hybrid before.

As a a matter of fact I had never even met another vampire before. Besides my mother anyway. I knew that my father was a vampire but that was pretty much all that I knew about him. When my mother was pregnant with me my father, along with the rest of the family, had wanted to abort me because she was dying. They thought I was some bloodsucking monster that would end up killing her for her blood. Mom said that only one of my aunts was on her side but it wasn't enough.

Mom was a human in a family full of vampires. She knew that if they wanted to they could easily grab her, tie her down, and force into an abortion if they wanted to. She would be completely helpless to protect me against them. The only way she could gurantee my safety is by leaving. That wasn't easy for her either. The plan probably would have failed if Jacob hadn't been there to help her.

That was pretty much all that I knew about my family. I didn't even know their names. Mom hated talking about them as it caused her so much pain. The only reason that I even knew what I did know was because of Jacob. Jacob had always been there for as long as I could remember. He and mom weren't romantically involved or anything. But Jacob was definitely part of our small family.

Jacob took care of me for the first few days after my birth. My mom nearly died when I was born. Thankfully when I was born instinct immediately took over and I bit her as hard as I could. Injecting her with my venom. Saving her life.

When my mom woke up as a vampire three days later we became inseparable. She loved me more than life itself she would often say. I loved her. We moved from city to city for the first several years of my life. The three of us lived a nomadic lifestyle because I aged way too fast. People would surely notice and find out that we were different. That I was different. I didn't understand it at the time. I wanted a normal life and I wanted to go to school like all the other kids. Except I was not like all the other kids.

I was a vampire-human hybrid. I was much stronger and faster then they were. More importantly I drank blood. Animal blood more specifically but that didn't mean that I didn't find human blood tempting. Like my mother I didn't want to hurt humans but the smell of fresh blood had almost gotten the better of me a few times when I was younger. According to my mother and Jacob I had a stong mixture of both human and vampire mannerisms. They've even told that at times I can be more human than vampire and at other times more vampire human. It was not something I consciously did it's just how I was. No one could really explain it.

My growth rate started slowing down a lot last year and that's when we finally decided to settle down for a little while. Then finally I was allowed to go to school. It was nice. I could actually pretend that I was a normal human girl for a few hours. I had even made some friends. But my happiness didn't last.

A few months ago my mother went on a hunting trip up north and then she never retruned. Jacob left to go search for her but had no luck. It was as if my mother had simply vanished. The only reason he came back was to take care of me. I wanted to go search for my mother though. I couldn't just stay here doing nothing as more and more time passed. I couldn't lose my mother. I couldn't lose her. I needed her.

I wanted to go search for her but Jacob had forbidden it. Said that he "didn't want to lose me to," and that mom "wouldn't want me to go endangering my own life for her,"

So I knew that if I wanted to go and look for my mother I had to go out there and do it on my own. This morning I made a split second decision. I was going to leave and go look for my mother without Jacob. I had stuffed my backpack full of clothes. I had my credit card, that my mother had given me for emergencies, and a realistic looking passport and Driver's License.

My plan was to escape during lunch. I'd have a few hours to get to the airport and leave. I'd go to Northen California. That's where my mom had gone when she went missing. Maybe I would find some clues that Jacob missed. As soon as the bell rang for lunch I jumped out of my seat.

The fence was open as kids were allowed to leave school grounds for lunch. I made a run for it. I requested an Uber who then took me to the airport. Once there I ditched my cellphone so Jacob couldn't track it. I tried not to appear nervous as I purchased my ticked to San Francisco.

I say down in the waiting area waiting for my flight. I couldn't believe that I had done it. Mom and Jacob had said that I was extremely prone to making rash decisions without thinking. I've done that a few other times in the past. Mom thinks it may have something to do with my age. She would often say "You may look like a teenager but you're not. You're only seven years old. You're still a child and you make decisions without thinking,"

Well that was certainly true right now. All I was thinking about was finding my mother. If my decision was a rash one than I didn't want to be rationale. The only thing, person, I wanted was my mother and I would do whatever I had to do to find her.
