Hmm, There IS A Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Recap: Bella'sPOV: "Yeah," he took another swig of alcohol. "Just talking about how we are the better kind of vampires." he said. Every pair of eyes landed on us then. Crap! Adrian what did you just get us into you $$hole.
Chapter 8: Uh Oh, We're In Trouble Now
Bella's POV:
That idiot! If I could have a genie I would wish Adrian never showed up, there wasn't a such thing as alcohol, and I was as far away as I can get from these wolves.
"Bella? Answer me please!" Jake said desperately.
"I don't know how to say this or how you'll take it. But please try to stay human okay?" I asked the surrounding group.
"Bells! It's not that difficult to understand. So let me spill it out for all of you dogs and doggie lovers. Bella and I drink blood. Yummy stuff, just let me tell ya! But no we are not like the cold ones. Dmn them and their bloodthirstiness. They give all vampires a bad name. Now I'm not saying that some of our kind are not bad but us, we're good. We even have a separate name! We are called moroi, the kind that are similar to the cold ones are stroigi. Being a vampire and a royal one, isn't as cracked up as it seems to be! So we each have ways with dealing with it all. I tend to like the drink, of the alcoholic variety, more than others and well you all know Bella." Adrian explained. "Drinking helps the cravings and the freaking magic!"
"Adrian, why oh why did you have to open your freaking mouth?" I asked rhetorically.
"Well-" he started but I slapped my hand over his mouth.
"Can you explain Bella? You can't be a vampire. It simply isn't possible." Sam said. I was about to when Adrian licked my hand.
"EWWW!" I shrieked and started wiping my hands on my pants leg. Nasty drunk perv. "Was that necessary?" I asked glaring at him.
"Yes," he smirked. "Now pups, let me spell it out for you. Unless I'm not speaking English. Bella, I am speaking English, aren't I?"
"Adrian you need to shut the heck up! Please let me explain. You are just going to make them all phase with your drunk bluntness."
"Fine, appease the pups." he said, leaned back, and took another swig of his drink.
"Okay, please don't freak out. I just found out today as well. I was hoping to adjust on my own first before telling anyone. But thanks to him," I jerked my thumb at him. "I can't do that. So first things first. I am nothing like the Cullens. The best way I know how to describe what I am to you guys is that I am human. However, I have to drink blood, or else I will die. It has to be human blood. When I drink it I don't have to kill the person. The only way to become my type of vampire you have to be born into it. My kind of vampire has magic abilities. And our senses are heightened. Any other questions?" I asked them.
"How come we have never heard of your kind before?" Sam asked.
"Um, Adrian? Can you answer that one I myself do not know the answer to that one." I asked him.
"Oh, now you want me to talk. Well, okay. So the other kind of vampire, the stroigi. Also known as cold ones. Absolutely love the taste of our blood. It calls to them. So we have been in hiding since the first stroigi was created. They can be created in numerous different ways. They can be moroi and drink to full consumption. Now, if you were a dhamphir, they can be turned to. I forget how but they can be. They can be human and bitten by one of the few stroigi that have venom. There are other ways but I forgot. I wasn't much into history. I was busy slacking and sweet talking my teachers into no homework.
Some can be turned back from their stroigi forms. A moroi that deals with spirit, much like myself, would have to infuse a stake with spirit and then shove it into their unbeating hearts. It has only been done twice, I think. The new queen did to help our friend Rose save her lover. And he turned back into a dhamphir. Adhamphir are half vampire. Dhamphirs are trained from a very young age to protect moroi with their lives. Our kind are diminishing though, the stroigi are getting smart. Which is why it was set up a long time ago that moroi shouldn't fight their own battles. Which is why dhamphirs do all the work. But, Lissa is planning on changing the way things work. However all the royals are used to the old ways and are frightened of change, they want to have everyone do their work for them. Their fear is understandable, there are only a handful of royals left in each line. The stroigi like to go after the royals to cause panic so they can try to strike again. Which is the main reason why you haven't heard of us, we're going extinct!" he laughed.
"Are you a threat to the humans?" Sam asked.
"Nah, just the blood banks in the area! We have to feed everyday, like humans have to have breakfast, lunch, and dinner. We can also eat food. But we need the blood or we grow extremely weak." Adrian said.
"Do you have the same bloodthirstiness as the cold ones, or as you call them stroigi?" Sam asked again
"Nope." he took another swig of his drink.
"Earlier you said that drinking helps your cravings, if not for blood then for what exactly?" Seth asked from his spot across the fire.
"That is a good question," Jacob said for the first time in a while.
"Like to use magic or other normal cravings," he said and gave me a wink making me blush ten different shades of red. I glared at him and he blew me a kiss. He is an insufferable pig!
"Ugh," Jacob groaned, "What about your venom? Is it able to hurt anyone?"
"Dmn, we're vampires not snakes. And again no, but according to some humans and dhamphirs, the bite is euphoric. Some might even say addictive."
"So you two have no real potential to hurt any of the locals?" Sam asked
"You can't be serious Sam!" Jacob shouted, "They're leeches!"
"Jacob, as your alpha I am ordering you to not say another word against this." Sam ordered Jacob then turned to Adrian, "do your kind pose any threat to the people of La Push?"
"Nope," he said popping the 'p'.
"Then it is settled I think. As long as you two pose no threat then there isn't any real reason you two would have to leave." Sam said happy to hear of our weak, or lack thereof, vampire prowess.
"Sam, I will not say another word on this matter. But, it is far from over. I will see to it that no leech is left unscathed in this territory." Jacob said then stood and shook all throughout his speech. When he was done he phased and took to the forest. A scary howl filled the air when he was no longer within sight.
"I think he's got some issues," Adrian said. And for once I couldn't agree more.
