~I'm on my way ~
Jack's POV:
What's done is done. Can't change never will. I slowly slice legs and arms with the knife I took away from Jason when he wasn't looking. Smoke comes up from her blood showing she is dead, leaving this world. I splash blood all over her for the murder case. I clearly leave my bite marks in her neck shown. I slide the knife in my pocket. I walk out of the barn. The sun rises beyond the horizon behind the gray clouds in our direction. We better get going before the sun comes up.
"Hey guys let's go. The sun is coming up!"
They run out of the bushes, their wings already flapping ready for flight. Dad goes first, then Jason, Mike, Jasper and Jerry, then me. I flap my fragile wings hard catching air under my wings. I lift off the ground. My wings flap to the beat of the guy's. Making me feel like one of them. I'm a vampire!
"WOO-HOO!"
I yell at the top of my lungs. They all glance at me raising an eyebrow.
"What?"
"Why so loud?"
Mike asks holding his ears. This is surprising because Mike never talks. I fly closer to him so he can hear me over the wind.
"I'm a vampire. I'm going to show it!"
I spin around in the air enjoying life. I do flips, handstands in the air. They all look at me like I'm a werewolf on steroids. My dad whispers to Jason
"Newbie."
He says chuckling. I fly left over to them. I butt in.
"If I'm a newbie how can I do this?"
Not even thinking I spread my wings as far as they can be, kicking my feet for lift off. I spin like a tornado making heat around me. I see their faces amazed. Jason shocked me the most. Not knowing what the heat is I slow down in front of my dad and Jason.
"How did you do that?"
My dad chokes out. I shrug my shoulders.
"I'm just awesome like that."
I speed down to the ground grabbing an apple from a tree, zooming back up to them. I take a bite out of the apple. Delicious sour apple. Jason moves closer to me with dad the others play around not even noticing what I did.
"That's impossible."
Jason murmurs.
"What impossible?"
I say through biting my apple.
"You must be the next."
My dad says, looking off into the distance.
"What do you mean next?"
"What you did over there. You must be the vampire king."
Jason and my dad tilt their heads loyally. Jason puts more force into it like he doesn't except my awesomeness.
"I'm a what?"
"The vampire king."
Jason repeats coldly. Rolling my eyes I ask my dad
"So I'm a king?"
"Yes you are. It passes down through generations. You protect the vampire resistance."
Spit take.
"I protect you guys?"
"Yes."
Jason flies away not saying a word.
"What's with him?"
"He's always wanted to be the vampire king. When you first grew our fangs we knew you are the vampire king."
"So he's been hiding all that anger?"
"Apparently so, but if you need any help with this I'm here ok?"
"Yeah I know."
"But we need to train you."
"For what?"
He holds my shoulders at arm's length.
"If I ever go away this all goes on your shoulders. That's why I will train you to be the best you can be alright?"
"So what did I do right there?"
"You did this."
He backs away ten feet. He spins as fast as I did. His wings catch on fire, smoke rising above him. As he slows down the top of his wings slowly die off. I drop my mouth in amazement.
"I did that?"
"You can also do this."
He cups his hands together and makes the area between his hands wider. A glow forms. The smallest lion with wings forms in his hands. It gets bigger when my dad makes the area between his hands farther away. He pushes the lion out of his grasp. The lion flies in circles around us, then flying about 15 feet away. 'It' turns and faces me. I fly back little. It flies closer.
"Dad?"
"Yes?"
"Why did you make a lion with wings?"
"This is your training."
"But how did you do that?"
"Because I am the vampire king."
Walked into that one.
"So I have to fight that?"
"3-2-1!"
My dad yells. The lion roars into the sky blood thirsty. Well lucky for him I'm blood thirsty too. I charge at it with all my strength. It easily shoves me closer to the ground. Which is like 200 feet away. I stay still stunned.
"Jack kill him!"
The lion roars louder. I make my claws go longer even if they can't, I'll make them. My fangs sharpen with my ears following. I make my wings stretch farther. I attack the lion, ripping off his wings with his legs not so far behind. He whines in pain. Ignoring his pain, I sink my teeth in his thick neck. His last whimper disappears. Knowing that he's dead I toss him into a corn field. I turn around to see my dad. He's happy.
Giving him a hug, we get the guys and fly away to our mansion. I feel nothing in my pocket. Reaching into my pocket I feel around for the knife. The guys notice I'm not coming.
"Jack? Aren't you coming?"
Jerry asks while chewing on a bird he caught.
"I'm going to get a quick snack. You guys go. I'll be home soon."
They shrug their shoulders, flying away. Jason doesn't look happy at all. He could at least say 'Good job' or 'it's your turn to the dishes!' I would've even taken him shoving my head under his armpit. I fly to the ground almost perfectly behind the barn. I trip falling into some rocks. Picking the rocks off my face I walk around to the front of the barn. Rain pours suddenly like it's a depressing day. I pull my black hood over my hand. The knife. I pick it up, sliding it in my pocket Cop sirens and speeding car come this way.
Panicking I tightly put my wings to my body, hiding in the shadows.
Vampires own the shadows my dad has said more then enough. But you have to watch out werewolves can see you in the shadows.
The cop cars and a speeding car pulls into the drive way. The cops get out pointing the guns at the barn, ready to shoot. An older man, older than my real dad already dead, gets out of a sliver Toyota like he is scared for life. He runs up to the barn but the cops hold him back.
Something catches my eye. Out of the corner of my eye blonde hair shines through the window and through the rain. I slowly walk through the bushes closer to her car. I hide in the bush closest to the car. I walk up a little closer interested in her. Still in the shadows I watch her carefully, catching every detail. Her hair comes down in silky strands cascading down her back, her sweet face would make the devil smile, and she swings her small legs back and forth. As sad as she is she looks happy anyway. She looks at her dad than the dsi she's playing with a dog on the screen. {I didn't put this in the second chapter but here it is. Remember she was only seven}.
Her eyes lock with mine. She puts her dsi down, sliding over into the next seat. Pressing her face up against the window she looks at me catching every detail. Her nose presses up against the glass. She's a werewolf. I can't believe this. She looks so sweet. This is bad but I do it anyway. When the cops and her dad aren't looking I come out of the shadows leaning by the car.
I put my hands over the window. The little girl slowly presses her hands against the window on the inside. Her eyes close, she opens them turning into aqua blue. I close mine, turning them into black. Nothing but black. We stay still watching each other closely. She suddenly mouth the words
"Please don't be one them."
She says in the sweetest voice.
"Who are them?"
I whisper.
"The monsters of the shadows. Please don't be their king."
She whispers. I didn't know we are monsters of the shadows.
"Why not?"
"When vampires imprint on a werewolf, their pack will kill them."
"Wait. I imprinted on you?"
Jason told me doing that with some else you make them your friend. He did this just because I'm king and he's not.
"It's okay. You're a nice guy. Please don't change. I like you this way."
She says, pressing her face up against the window even more. I press my face up against the widow where hers is.
"I won't. I promise."
With that she puts on a windbreaker. She slides out of the car and gives me a hug. I hug her back. She whispers in my ear
"I know you'll keep that promise because even though vampires are cruel and soulless, they never break a promise. Ever."
She skips around the car to join her dad. She cries on his leg. All of this comes into my head. I killed her mom. I killed her mom. I can't do this. Vampires are cruel hateful creatures. I back away into the shadows, mad at myself. I fly away. Not in the direction of the mansion.
After an hour of flying, I land behind a church. {How about this?}
Making my wings disappear with my fangs, claws and blood stains I walk into the church. Soft music plays in the background. I quietly close the door behind me. I walk down the aisle glancing at people on their knees, and their hands press together and their eyes closed. I get a big statue of god. He has his hands together too with his eyes closed. He looks like he's wearing a dress but he is so way back when why not?
I slide into the second aisle. I get down on my knees. Putting my elbows on the railing in front of me I close my eyes. I put my hands together ever so lightly. I pray. I learned how to prey from my real mom. My dad tries me to talk more about the devil than god. I disagree. I mumble under my breath
"Oh heavenly father, I wish I could undo all of this. I thought being a vampire would make everything better but it hasn't. Only worse. If you can send me a sign that I'm not a bad person they made me out to me, I would really appreciate it. I know I'm not a bad person but do you think I am? I will never follow in the devil's footsteps ever again. I will only follow yours. In Jesus Christ amen."
I touch my forehead, then my chest, then my left shoulder then my right. Getting up I leave the church. I walk to the back of the church ready to shift into a bat so I can go home. The sun is coming. I'll have to fly in the shadows. Only way to stay alive. I hear crunching I pick up my foot. The sun reflects off of it. I pick it up gently.
A cross with a small Jesus hanging on it from the nails. I slide it over my head around my neck. I look up into the sky. I mouth
"Thank you"
I jump into the air, shifting into a bat. I flap around looking for the shadows. After I find a patch of woods I fly home, wearing the cross around my neck.
{Sorry I forgot this was just a flashback}
Flashback ended:
Jack's POV:
I look up from the file.
"Who is she?"
May says disgusted.
"She's the girl I have to kill."
I say sadly.
"She's too pretty to be human. She's a witch."
"She is not."
"Well I don't like her."
Ignoring her comment I look at the crime scene pictures of her mom
"I'm a murder."
I blurt out.
"So? I am too."
"You don't get it May."
"What do you mean?"
"I killed the girl's mother who I'm supposed to date."
"Sucks for you."
She dashes away after a deer. I roll my eyes. I close the file. I walk into the old house remembering all the fun I had. I smile at my first toy on the floor. I hide into a closet away from dad. I'm not going back until I have to. I cup my hands together, forming a glow. I separate my hands making the glow bigger. I pick to make a butterfly. Fragile and helpless.
I make it a little bigger. It flies around trying to find a way out. I make a spider. The spider attacks the butterfly, killing it. Someone this reminds me of Kim and May. Kim- sweet and gentle as a butterfly. May- destructive and creepy as a spider. I let them go. I watch the spider crawl away into a whole, while the butterfly sits there with it's wing damaged. I pick up the butterfly gently. I walk outside letting it find shelter.
I'm on my way to being a good guy.
I'm taking names for this story if anyone has any. Maybe I'll write a story Beauty in the Beast someday but I don't really like it with this one. So what do you think about the chapter? What are your opinions on the whole imprint thing? Is it stupid? Is it actually a good idea? Do think May has feelings for Jack? Please comment below. I will answer your questions if you have any or if you PM me. I would much like it more you PM me because I can do you guys one at a time. BYE! :D
