As soon as Alyssa stepped into the house she knew that her parents were waiting for her in the living room. She growled and turned to Nanette, "I'm going upstairs. You tell Mom and Dad about Sam."
"But you need to tell them Alyssa! He's bothering you not me! It's not my place."
"Damn it Nanette! Can't you just do something for me without argument? I just want to go upstairs and rest without Mom and Dad hassling me!" Alyssa turned on her heel and stomped up the stairs.
Nanette groaned and entered the living room. "Hi Mom, Dad." She sat down her stuff and sat on a chair.
"Where's Alyssa," Selene asked as she looked around.
"She um...she went upstairs. I don't think she had a very good day at school today."
"What happened Nanette," Michael asked quietly, "Knowing your sister I'd say it has something to do with our...predicament."
"Well I only know what she told me," Nanette looked at her parents and sighed, "You see Alyssa left early to go to school and as she was sitting behind the school building a boy came up to her and introduced himself."
"What's so bad about that Nanette? People always introduce themselves to new students," Selene said.
Nanette rolled her eyes. "It wasn't then that the problem started, it was during her first period class. When she entered her class she realized that there were three vampires in the class; the boy, Sam, and two girls. I met them after the class because Alyssa and I have the same second period. I think the girls said their names were Corrine and Natasha."
Selene and Michael looked at each other. "We should warn the others Selene. Their children are in trouble of the vampires smell them. Which brings me to the question, how did you and your sister get away undetected Nanette?" Michael and Selene turned to face to look at her.
"You don't remember? Well when we are around Vampires they only smell the vampire blood and when we are around Lycans they smell the Lycan blood in use, and when we around both they each smell their own blood in us. It's really complicated."
"Oh yes I forgot that," Selene said, "I can smell the vampire blood in you, but I can also smell the Lycan blood. Maybe it's because I am married to a Lycan."
"Yes I can smell both too," Michael said, "I think we should talk to Alyssa, Selene." Michael stood up, as did Selene.
Nanette jumped out of her seat. "I think I'll go lock myself in my room." Before they could answer she picked up her bag and ran out of the room.
"Well that was kind of...um...strange." Michael shook his head. "We'd better go and get this over with."
Alyssa knew they were outside her door so she turned her music up louder. She knew they would eventually get in, but she was going to pretend she didn't hear them.
After a few minutes she opened her eyes to see her mom and dad standing over her. She sighed, stopped her CD player and turned it off. "Yes," she asked quietly.
"Nanette told us about what happened at school today. You need to be careful Alyssa. If they find out what or who you are, then we are in big trouble," Selene said.
Alyssa growled and sat up. "Don't worry about that. I think I may have scared him off. I told him to fuck off, and you should have seen the look on his face! It's kind of like the look on your face."
Selene's and Michael's mouths were gaping open and moving like a fish out of water. They shut their mouths and looked at each other. "You know Alyssa you need to learn to speak more...more...oh how do I say this? More ladylike," Selene said.
"Why should I Mother? I know for a fact that you don't."
Selene sighed, "I don't want you to be like me Alyssa. That's what I've been trying to get through to you."
"Your Mother's right Alyssa. We just want you and Nanette to have a normal life. We want you to have friends, to be liked," Michael said.
Alyssa jumped up and both of them jumped. "Don't you get it!? Nanette and I will never be normal! We are destined to be hunted for the rest of our lives! We are hated and by the vampires, and the vampires hunt us and our kind down like we're rabid dogs! So don't talk to me about leading a normal life."
Tears glistened in Alyssa's eyes as she looked at her parents. "You know what? Fuck this shit. I'm out of here!" Alyssa grabbed her coat and car keys, ran out of her room, down the stairs and out the door.
Selene and Michael walked out of her room and stood at the head of the stairs. Nanette stuck her head out of her bedroom and looked at them. "Yep I knew that was going to happen. I'll go look for her if you want me to."
Michael shook his head. "That's okay Nanette. If she's not back by nine tonight then we might send you out to look for her. Right now I think she just needs to be alone. Come on Selene let's go and figure out what we are going to do about this vampire situation."
As Selene and Michael made their way downstairs Nanette shook her head and closed her bedroom door. She went to her window and looked out into the street. "Please be careful Alyssa," she whispered as she turned her back and sat down on her bed.
