Adrian came back a short while later, and by then the others had left the
apartment. I was listening to the music blaring from my radio, thinking
about the soulmate principle.
"Hey," his voice said, jolting me out of my thinking.
I looked up at him and smiled. "Hey. So, did you know about vampires and such before I changed you?"
"Mostly, yes. I've had many dreams lately, and learned about the night world. I've wanted to become a vampire for a while now, and now my dream came true," he replied, laughing after saying the last part.
"It is great to be a vampire. Though, I never expected I would become one, until a few days before my change. At the beginning I was a little sad, since my best friend was a Smoke witch, and I would never be able to see my family again," I told him.
"My family is dead, and my best friend betrayed me, so I don't miss my human life. Hey, can I see your family? It might be fun to surprise them by saying you are alive," Adrian said.
"My mother thinks I ran away, so it would be nice for her to see me. And I sort of do want to see me younger brother. I haven't seen them since I was changed. Though, now to think of it, I don't know why. Okay."
"Great."
On impulse, he kisses me lightly...though it ends up being a long, hot kiss, leaving us breathless. Well, if we were human we'd be breathless, but we don't breathe.
We leave my apartment go into the suburbs where the house is. Before knocking on the door, I use my mental powers to make my eyes seem violet since I certainly wouldn't have black eyes if I were my human self.
A few moments after knocking, a teenage boy of about seventeen years opens the door. He looks at us suspiciously, not recognizing me.
But I recognized him and said, "Hello, Josh."
His eyes flashed as he suddenly realized who I am, and gasped out, "Liseli?"
"My name is Elani, now. Well, aren't you going to invite us in?"
He stepped aside so that we could enter, and I saw my mother come down the stairs. She took one look at me and burst into tears. Coming over to me, she embraced me in a hug which I had no choice but to return.
"Is it really you?" she asked, hopefully.
I smiled and told her, "Yeah, its me. I decided to come back and visit you. Oh, this is Adrian, and my name is Elani now."
"Light and Dark. Strange names, dear," my mother said, after figuring out the meaning of our names.
"Yes, well it is that way for a reason. Adrian is my soulmate."
"That is pure bullshit," Josh blurted out.
I turned towards him and said, "No. It is not bullshit. There are many things you don't know and I know. The soulmate principle is one of them."
"What could you know? You ranaway and became someone looking like a biker. You don't know anything I don't know since you've probably been living on the streets as a prostitute," he said in an angry tone of voice.
I burst out laughing, and saw him flinch at the harshness of it. "You don't know anything, baby brother. I know more things than you could ever know in your mortal life. Oh, and I wasn't a prostitute, and neither am I a biker. In a way, you could say I'm just a totally different person."
"Mortal life? What the hell is up with that? Everyone is mortal," he says, confused but still angry.
"Nope, they aren't. There are people who aren't even close to being mortal. Ever think of vampires? Did you?" I said in a condescending voice.
"Vampires? They aren't real," he said.
"Really? Then explain this," I told him, showing him my pointy fangs.
He paled, but then said, "It must be a trick."
I suddenly spoke into his mind, 'Do you think this is a trick?'
His eyes widened and he paled even more. I smiled at his reaction.
"Honey, you didn't!" my mother suddenly burst out in a voice full of fear.
"I am a vampire. Do you know something I don't know?" I asked, sensing that she did know something.
"Your father became a couple months after Josh was born. Your father was only nineteen at the time, and was mad at being held down by two children at such a young age. He stayed with us for a few years after his change. Don't you remember how he got angry so fast?" my mother said.
I had forgotten that. My father had been a loving father until I was two, which was when Josh was born. He had suddenly changed and didn't like being around the family anymore.
"What was his name?" I asked, since I had forgotten it.
"Delan."
Oh shit. He was one of the Leron! I knew that particular name since every vampire hated him and he had suddenly disappeared about ten years ago.
"He's one of the Leron! Damn!" Adrian said, coming to the same conclusion I did.
"How do you know? I only just changed you," I asked him, puzzled that he would know.
He replied, "In my dreams I saw him and heard his name quite a few times."
"What the hell is going on?!?" Josh suddenly yelled.
"I am a vampire, and so is Adrian. There is a prophecy about a Light One and Dark One. I am the Light One and Adrian is the Dark One. The Leron is a group of vampires, humans, and werewolves that are out to destroy everything. Adrian and I must stop it somehow," I explained impatiently.
Before he could say something, Risika burst through the door and said, "We got to go now! New Mayhem was just attacked by the Leron and we need to get everyone there to help fight them!"
Damn. "Coming. Bye mom, by Josh."
Adrian, Risika, and I left and instantly went to New Mayhem. Where everything was in chaos, and I saw things that shocked even me...
"Hey," his voice said, jolting me out of my thinking.
I looked up at him and smiled. "Hey. So, did you know about vampires and such before I changed you?"
