Then without warning I found myself pinned against the wall. First by Thomas's arms and then by Hayley's arms.
"Thank you, Tom" she said in a cold voice taking his arms off me and pinning me down with her owns.
"Hayley! That was wrong. I wish you would found other way, I know there is another way," he said.
"I know you hate her but do you really want me to go down with her" said Thomas.
"Come on, Hayles. We'll deal with it another way," he said again putting his hand on her beautiful shoulder. I still couldn't move, Hayley was a lot stronger then she looked. She dropped her arms and in the time it took me to blink she was out of my room. I stood there, like Hayley's arms were still holding me down.
I was lost in thought until Thomas walked out of my room onto the balcony. I ran up to him putting myself between him and the door on the balcony that lead into his room. His blonde hair blow in the breeze that come from the forest. I had never looked at him close up before, more because he could never be in the same room as me for more than 2 seconds. I could have stood there looking at him for hours but I had questions.
"What was that," was the best one to cover everything I had to ask.
"Well, She. Scott. You. Together," he said in a matter trying to put it right.
"What? Hayley and Scott together or" I said. Thomas cut me off with a laugh.
"In her dreams, maybe. Only one, she can't get to do whatever she wants" he said shacking his head.
"She likes Scott and she hates us hanging out" I said thinking over everything that had happened with me, Hayley and Scott. This was the only thing that fits.
"Hanging out? Yeah, right! He kissed you the other day remember" said Thomas in a mocking voice.
"Yeah I remember. But it doesn't mean we are together. She can have him," I said my voice raising as I said it.
"Yeah. Well, she knows that. But it's different now you two can be together because that little mutt ditched you for your sister," he said in a cold heartless tone. And that was it. Why did I think I could talk to Thomas about anything? So I turned away and went back into my room. I couldn't take it. All my emotions were everywhere.
Hayley was standing against the door of my room that lead to the hallway.
"Now you know," she said not taking her burning golden eyes off me.
"I'm sorry. I didn't know. I don't think he knows. You should tell him," I said in a rush to get everything I needed to say out before she stopped me.
"Maybe I should. Thankx," she said now deep in thought. Then there was a loud bang as something hit the wall on the balcony. I jumped to my feet. Then there was another bang like two boulders hitting each other. Hayley bet me to the door. Throwing it open she yelled
"Guys, cut it out. You're going to break something." I looked over Hayley's shoulder to the fight outside. There was a great human sized hole in the wall to Thomas's room. Then I saw Thomas being pushed off the balcony by Scott. A scream came from my lips before I could stop it.
Then like in the movies, Thomas was back on the balcony. He had just fallen off a second story building and then jumped back up without even breaking a sweet. All of them, Hayley, Thomas, Scott and out of nowhere Andrew and Penny all were staring at me like I did something wrong.
"It's okay Megan" said Penny putting her hands up as she walked towards me.
"Is it really?" as I asked she stopped a few feet away from me. Was everything really okay? Was Thomas really not hurt? No one could fall off a second story building and live but there he was. Were they really going to tell me, what was going on? No one said anything.
"It's okay. We aren't going to hurt you. You can leave if you want," said Andrew moving to stand next to his wife. "Everything is going to be okay. You're not going to hurt me. I can leave. Unless you're going to through me of the balcony too, I don't want to go anywhere," I said trying to find out what they looked so worried about. Nothing was making any sense.
"She's not scared of us! You pick the one human who isn't afraid of us," said Hayley is a sick mocking laugh to Penny and Andrew. I looked at the faces of my new family. Penny, Andrew still looked worried. Scott had the biggest smile on his face and Thomas looked as expressionless as always. They were my family no matter what they were. But what had Hayley meant by Human? They weren't human?
"What are you guys" I asked each member of my family? Each one looked to the next for help until all eyes were on Andrew. Andrew my first and only father figure looked into my eyes. He would tell me the truth right or was it really that bad that they didn't want me to know? I thought about all the weird things that happened in this house.
I'd never seen any of them eat food, now that I was thinking about it. They all have the same golden eyes, even though they are meant to be adopted and the biggest was the human side hole in the wall.
"I've never seem any of you guys eat," I said out loud even though it made me sound crazy. "That's because we don't eat food," said the loving caring voice of Penny though what she was saying made no sense.
"What do you eat then, human flesh like a werewolf? God now I do sound crazy," I said with a sigh, looked for a hint that I was getting warmer.
"Not human flesh, Megan. Human blood," the words came like a terrifying story from Andrew's lips. Human blood? For a second I was scared but only a second because then I remember I was talking to my family. The ones who I had lived with for the past 3 months, they were taking blood from other people to live. I was living with vampires. Then other questions hit me. Why hadn't they eaten me yet? What were they waiting for? Was there any way, they could live without blood or am I doomed to be killed by my family? I must have said something I was thinking out loud because Penny became to speck.
"Megan. We don't eat human blood. We can live on animal blood," I looked at Penny but somehow I couldn't see her taking down a fully grow bear and drinking its blood. She was far too sweet for me to think of her hurting anyone or anything at all.
"Okay" I said I didn't really know what else to say to that. So they weren't going to eat me but I was still living with vampires.
"Maybe Meg you should sleep on it and see how you feel tomorrow" said Scott. Before I could say anything, I was being tucked into bed and two seconds after that I was asleep with all I had leant playing over in my dreams.
