Baby cries could be heard coming from down the hall as a group of people waited impatiently to hear the news that could change everyone's life. Eve was sitting in a chair with her legs crossed while tapping her fingers onto the end table that was next to her chair, while Louis paced back and forth for couple minutes then an older Vampire came and told him to follow him. It had been at least 30 minutes and still no sign of anything happening in that room. My mom had finally went into labor while the rest of us had to sit out here in this room and wait to see what happened. I was frustrated and not to mention angry that I couldn't even go near my mom right now to even see how she was doing. Phoenix was sitting on the couch with Kane next to him while they talked about something or another. Victoria and Torrie were sitting on the other side of me while I read a letter from Chris.
"Dearest Angel,
How are you? I hope that you're still not mad at me by the way I left, but you did know that I wouldn't be able to stay for long. I got news that your mom went into labor, bout time something happened! Well I can't really say how things are going here cause you know before this letter got to you it was probably read by other people. So how are Torrie and Victoria holding up, Victoria still complaining about everything? Well at least you have your friends to talk to now I know you've missed seeing them even if you do fight with Victoria. Well the clan wishes the best for your parents with the new baby, have a name picked out yet? Well this is short and I'm sorry for that, but you know how it goes around here. Oh one more thing before I stop writing, have Torrie, Victoria, and Kane write to Stephanie. She says its important well I'm going to stop for now, but I'll see ya soon ok? Love ya Angel.
Sincerely Chris"
I'm still wondering what Stephanie would want with Victoria, Torrie, and Kane that could have been so important that she couldn't tell me and my family, knowing that if it has anything to do with the Hunters then we should be informed as well. Then again this is Stephanie and if it does have anything to do with the Hunters she won't say anything about it until its too late. She says it's better if the other Vampires don't find out about what the Hunters are doing or what they're up to. I know a lot of Vampires that hate Stephanie with a passion and would love to strangle her, but for some reason I don't think that way about her. I mean don't get me wrong the woman can be a total bitch and just plain annoying, but she knows how to handle a bunch of Vampires that don't listen to her and she even takes care of them. I know some Vampires that just think of themselves and don't even give a damn about what happens to other Vampires. The only clan I would go to if I was in trouble would be Stephanie's clan there its like a home away from home. Right now, however, I'm perfectly fine with staying at home with my parents, Phoenix, and Garnet. Yeah that's right mom named her Garnet cause it's my mom's favorite gem.
"Eve! Stop day dreaming! Take care of mom while dad and I go out to hunt" Phoenix shouted glaring at me as he walked out of the house.
I watched him leave with my dad following shortly after as he smiled reassuringly at me then walking out the door. I got up from the chair and went into my parents' bedroom to check on my mom and my new baby sister. Resting in her bed was my mom with her eyes closed, but I could tell she wasn't asleep just resting her eyes. Then I glanced down at the baby in her arms and gasped in shock as I saw a baby that resembled me in every way possible right down to the skin color.
"Mom what's going on? Why does she look just like me?" I questioned sitting on the side of the bed and placing Garnet in my arms
"Because if I were to have you and her at the same time like it was planned she would have been your twin, but things don't go the way you plan and it didn't happen. I just had you, but having Garnet changed that and now you have a younger sister reincarnation of your twin sister" Asha said softly with a smile on her face
"Wow that's amazing she's so pretty," I said softly with a smile as I tickled her tummy lightly
"If you want you can go take her out for little bit, but bring her back in after awhile ok?" Asha suggested
"Oh ok I will" I said kissing my mom's forehead before walking out of the room with Garnet hugged to my chest.
I was walking out in the back, going through the maze garden, while singing softly to Garnet as I came up to the center of the maze and sat down on the marbled bench. I gazed down at Garnet as she yawned and two tiny fangs were exposed as she smiled up at me playfully nipping at my finger as I ran it through her black hair.
"Oto no nai mahiru// kaze ha tada akarui// sukoshi nemutasou ni hanabira ga yureta// nani ge nai kono omoi// nee, hito ha donna kotoba de yondeiru no// shiroi suna no tsuki toji kometa hanashi o hikari furasu you ni kikasete ne sotto// itsuka shiru toki ga kuru no? Mune no itami o// soshite ima yori yasashiku naru no ne// atatakai kono omoi// nee, hito ha donna namae de yondeiru no// shiroi suna no tsuki mabushikute mienai// tooi mirai no koto kikasete ne sotto"
As I finished singing the song Garnet smiled and made baby noises before clutching my fingers and resting her head on my chest. I ran my fingers through her hair as I rocked her to sleep, but the scent of a vampire watching me caught my nose as I turned to glare at the person that was watching me. I sighed with relief when I saw that it was just my dad as he came over and placed Garnet into his arms.
"Need to go feed I can tell your hungry I can take care of Garnet while your gone besides your mom said so. Now go get something to eat" Louis said with a smile before hugging me
"Oh fine I'm going" I said hugging him back before running through the maze and going out to the front to start my search of food.
I walked into a club that smelt like smoke, sex, alcohol, and something else I couldn't quiet place what it was as I walked over to a corner of the club and ordered a drink. I was sipping the drink when I sensed someone watching me and turned to see a tall man with silver hair and yellow eyes staring at me with his arms crossed over his chest. I sensed something bad around him, but it soon left my mind as he started walking towards me our gaze locked on each other as he grabbed my hand. Without saying a word he took me to the dance floor and we danced the night away swaying our bodies together while the others watched in amazement. I felt that I had known him from somewhere, but nothing came to mind as I kept gazing up into his yellow eyes. It was like every time I looked into those eyes every thought left my body and images of him were the only thing I could see. My arms were wrapped around his neck while his was wrapped around my waist. He bent his head down and placed his lips onto my neck and I gasped in surprise as I felt two sharp fangs piercing my neck. The dreams started coming back like a tidal wave and I instantly saw an image of Darien with a smug smile on his lips as he looked down at me. I brought my hand up to my neck and felt the blood running down my neck from the two holes in my neck. I suddenly pushed the guy off me and saw Darien, but this wasn't Darien. This man was a vampire and I could sense Hunter's, but when I looked around the club I couldn't see any around the place. As I turned to look back over at the man that I had been dancing with I couldn't find him it was like he disappeared not a trace of him anywhere. I ran my fingers over my neck and sighed with relief when I didn't feel any marks on my neck. I walked off the dance floor and back to where I had been, but the feeling of the man watching me never left so I left the club and went to the park. I found a woman sitting on a bench by herself with tears running down her face. I walked over and heard her gasp in surprise as she looked up at me then moved slightly so I could sit next to her.
"What's wrong, why are you crying?" I asked with softness
"Only problem in this world are men! They suck and I hate them! I was told to come here and meet him, but he hasn't shown up and now I know why I hate men in the first place" the woman said with sadness in her eyes
"I can take the pain away if ya want just follow me. I won't hurt you," I said smiling inwardly at the easy meal I would be getting later tonight.
The woman nodded before standing up and we walked back to the club, men staring at us as we walked inside. I took her back to the table I had previously been sitting at before ordering us both drinks. The music played through the club as the smells of earlier hit my nose again, but I ignored them while I studied the woman. She was around my age with brown chestnut hair while her eyes were a pale gray blue color that contrasted with her tanned skin. She wore a simple red dress with black trimming around the neckline and bottom of the dress with black heels. She was tapping her fingers to the music on the table while sipping her drink. She had a faint smile on her lips before turning to look at me with a pleading look in her eyes and at first I was confused, but as she grabbed my hand and started going to the dance floor I got the idea. We started dancing to the song that was playing, but with the hunger rising inside of me I could careless what was happening just as long as I got some sweet blood inside of my body. I looked around and noticed some other vampires dancing while biting the necks of their partner of the night. I glanced over at the woman with a suggestive smile before grabbing her hand and leading her over to a couch, sitting down and running my fingers over her sides. I could tell she was too drunk and that after this it wouldn't matter because she would be dead after I was done with her. I licked her neck piercing the skin slightly so the blood would flow slowly down her neck I smiled inwardly when I heard the intake of breath. I licked the blood up slowly before licking up and over to her lips looking down at her, smiling inwardly when I saw the fear in her eyes. I smiled reassuringly before suddenly grabbing her neck and plunging my fangs deep into her slender neck, groaning as I felt the warm blood run down my throat. I ran my hands down her chest as the blood lust took over the hunger building, but I suddenly stopped and dropped the body as it went limp on the couch. I licked the blood from my lips and trashed the body behind the club before leaving to go find another meal for the night.
I had finally got my last meal of the night from another club that I usually go to that other Vampires go to and the gossip of the night was chilling if not scary to the Vampires ears. Something bout Hunters attacking the Vampires in Japan and now they were heading in our direction and the way they were talking the Hunter's were lead by none other then Taker. After I had heard this I went back home and told my parents, Kane, Victoria, and Torrie about what I had heard. Everyone was shocked by the news knowing that if this really was Taker and by the amount of time it takes him to just finish off Vampires he would be here any day now. Louis, Kane, and Phoenix left the house to go talk to the Elders to see if this was true or not while the rest of us stayed home and waited for them to come back in one piece. I was sitting in a chair that over looked the back yard when I felt someone watching me from behind so I turned and saw my mother holding Garnet in her arms. I smiled as she walked over before she placed Garnet in my arms as she sat down in a chair that faced the one I was sitting in.
"Don't worry my angel everything will be alright and when its all over we can live peacefully without having to turn our heads every time we feel like were being watched. I know this might be new to you with the Hunters and Vampires fighting, but we can't let that get to us" Asha stated with her eyes softening up slightly, but I could hear the venom in her voice as she spoke of the Hunters
"I know that and I plan on killing the Hunter's myself if they even think about laying a finger on you or the rest of my family!" I said with anger in my eyes
"Eve I know you hate the Hunters and I'm proud of your progress with your fighting abilities, but don't jump to far ahead of this ok? I don't need you to get hurt or killed by those bastards," Asha said with anger in her eyes as images of her family being killed flooded her mind
"I promise nothing is going to happen to me, but you have to promise the same thing," I said with sadness in my eyes as I latched myself into my mother's arms
"I can't promise you that angel, but whatever happens I'm always going to be with you so don't forget that" Asha said hugging me closer to her.
Don't you just love foreshadowing? ^_^ Hehe anyway, the song in the story is in Japanese so the English version is right down there ^_^
(English version of song: "One soundless mid-day// the wind was so cheerful// Flower petals away in the breeze// as if they were sleepy// This serene feeling...// Tell me, what's the word people use for it? // Tell me a story that's locked away// in the white-sand moon.// Let me hear it// as gentle as light shining down...// Will the time come when you will know the pain in my heart?// Then you'd be able to be gentler then you are now.// Such a warm feeling...// Tell me, what's the word people give to it?// Softly, let me hear// of the distant future,// so bright it can't be seen,// like a white-sand moon."
Well that's it hope ya liked it! Sorry it took longer then usual, but who could blame me when last night all I could see or even think about was how hot and sexy Kevin looked when he came walking down that ramp on RAW last night! However right now I'd love to bash Trish's head in right about now, but I'll let it go for now ^_^ JK Anyway tell me what ya think, till next chapter. Later!
