Vampire Tendencies, hope you like. And do not worry, there may be

"Nicole, are you happy?"
I opened my eyes, blinked and felt the wet tears slide down my cheeks. "Am I happy?"
"Yes."
"I am happy..."
Happy..
"Nicole.."
I awoke from my sleep and sat up in my bed, stretching like there was no tomorrow. Turning, I smiled with pure joy at the young boy standing beside my bed. "What is it, Glendon?" I asked while rubbing the sleep from my eyes.
Glendon, with his shaggy brown hair and aquamarine eyes, smiled broadly. A mischeveous child at age twelve, going on thirteen in a few days. "Oh, nothing. Where's dad?" He asked while rocking on his heels.
"I just woke up, why don't you go outside and see what he's up to."
"Aye!"
Glendon sprinted out of the room and I could feel my heart throb for blood. I hadn't eaten in a long time, only living off of cold blood from bags from the blood bank. It was dark out, but we soon evolved just enough so we could stand almost four hours of sunlight. Thanks to lovely pollution that seemed to block out the sun's unhealthy rays. I got out of bed and stretched once more before changing into a pair of jeans and a button up shirt that was Vash's. Soon I could feel the damp grass on the bottom of my bare feet and I breathed in the scent of cold air. I also could smell the scent of someone with warm blood walking in the woods.
Glendon took a step towards Vash and smirked. "Mom said I could probably find you out here, dad," he said.
Vash turned around and smiled at his son. "Where is she?" He asked.
"Still in bed? I don't know, I left right after she said to go outside and find you."
Vash folded his arms across his chest and raised a questionable eyebrow at Glendon. "What is it you want then, Glen?"
"Dad...I've been wondering about something. It's kind of personal..."
"Oh! Well, we'll talk about that when you're older. Young boys sh-"
"I wasn't implying on my physical growth! I was talking about my teeth...why I'm always hungry after we eat...and why you two don't eat what I do."
Vash shifted his weight. "Well....Glen. We're vampires."
Glendon's eyes widened. "Awesome!!!"He exclaimed.
Vash slightly fell over at his outburst. "You mean....you are not afraid of them? Not the least bit...eww?" Vash asked with a laugh.
"It means I'm a vampire too! This is sooo awesome! But why didn't you guys tell me?!"
"Because...we think you should have found it out yourself, not with the help of your parents who are feeders on the living."
Glendon flexed his arms. "But...why is it that I don't have any muscle..or have super powers like regular vampires?"
Vash nelt infront of Glendon and smiled. "Because..that all happens when you're fifteen and you might as well like the way you are now. No one will suspect you of a vampire."
Glendon smirked, baring a small fang. "Is there any side affects that I need to know about?"
"No...all you need to know is that you shouldn't get too greedy on blood. You don't really need to worry about the sun yet."
"Cool!"
Glendon allowed Vash to hug him and then took off towards the huge house that used to be Legato's mansion. An eeiry silence stayed as Vash watched his son sprint towards home and it sent chills up and down his spine.
I let the man fall from my grip and licked the leftover blood off my lips. "Nicole," a dark voice said as a gust of wind blew through the woods.
A shiver ran through me and I folded my arms across my chest. I knew that voice all too well. "Just leave me alone...I'm not going to listen to you anymore!" I snapped as I made a brisk exit from the woods.
"But you must....you will..."
"I won't!"
"Nicole..."
"Shut up! Leave me alone and my family!"
I was sprinting towards the mansion when I spotted Vash standing near the barn. His right hand was raised to the sky and he looked as if he was in a trance, staring blankly at the dark clouds. I walked over to him and followed his arm up to the sky. "What are you staring at?" I asked.
Vash looked over at me and smiled crookedly. "Nothing. I just thought I saw something worth reaching out to," he replied.
He grabbed my hand and we walked back to the house. A strong feeling of silence and death washed over me as we stepped inside. "Glendon?" I said.
No answer.
Panic raced through my body like a poison and I looked worridly at Vash. Vash frowned. "Glen!" He yelled.
There was silence in the halls and rooms. "Glen! Answer me!! Now!"
I felt as if something important in my heart was ripped out. My feet carried me up the flight of stairs and into the master bedroom. I breathed a sigh of relief as I spotted Glendon standing near the window. "Glen...why didn't you answer me and Vash?" I asked.
He didn't asnwer me. All I saw was the outline of his body, but the darkness wouldn't let me see more of him. "Glen?"
"What is the purpose?" He asked.
His voice made a chill go up my back. This voice, it was dark. His aquamarine eyes flashed and horror filled me when I recognized them. His eyes were full of hate, rage and they knew no mercy. Legato's eyes. "Glen! What's wrong with you?!"
"I do not know what you mean, mother. I have nothing wrong with me, I am healthy and vibrant. Have you not noticed that?"
"I now noticed your voice....who did this to you?" I asked.
"Did what?"
"Glen! Answer my questions!"
"Questions are but a mere decoy, mother."
I collapsed to my knees when I felt Vash's presence behind me. "Glen! Listen to me, son. What happened when you got home?" Vash asked.
Glendon shifted. "Nothing, I don't know why you two are worked up over nothing. I'm fine..."
"No, you're not fine! Tell me, who did this to you?"
"Vash...do something," I said with tears sliding down my cheeks.
Vash stepped around me and I felt a huge power build inside of Glendon. I quickly go to me feet and pulled Vash to the side as a intense power erupted from Glendon and hit the wall. The wall exploded as did the others after it. "Glen! Snap out of this! Tell us who did this to you!" Vash yelled.
"He's the one who should have made me...he should have been the one to be my father...my mother...my world. But all you two did was stop the unavoidable...you should have known not to bring me into this world...I am the destroyer of all creation. And I'm starting off with a big bang," Glendon said with a snicker.
"Is his name Legato!?" I asked.
"Legato? I don't think so.."
"Then who!?"
"You'll find out soon enough, dear mere vampires."
A light flashed and I gasped. Glendon looked much older than he was when I last saw him. He looked like the Glendon I saw when Legato showed me him, even before he was born. "T-this can't be happening," I mumbled into my hands.
"But it is, Nicole. I don't know how it is...but it is," Vash said as he put an arm around me.
Glendon smirked as another light flashed and someone was sitting on his shoulder. A smaller person, but with cat eyes which peirced your soul. Her own smile was deadly and her eyes turned to slits before the two vanished. "Glen!!!" I screamed.
-- To Be Continued. -- Yeah, I know it was short. But..who is the mysterious cat- girl...which..looks like a cat, on Glen's shoulder? And who, if not Legato, made Glen this way? Find out in chapter ten! Wahahahaha...::ahem:: ^___^;
