Chapter Two

After following Zack for at least thirty minutes I saw Savannah, Sophie, and John. I ran up to Savannah and Sophie and hugged them both tightly tears streaming down my face.

"Welcome to the family Nessa!" They said together. After the shock I fell to the ground. I am a monster; how will I hide it? Who can I trust?

"I'm a monster." I mumbled into my jacket sleeves.

"No you're not." John said while picking me up off of the ground. He hugged my tightly

"I'm here and so are Savannah and Sophie. We went through it too. So don't worry." He said looking at me.

"Won't I turn into a bloodthirsty monster?"

"No Nessa that's just stereotype." I nodded my head and hugged him back.

"Nessa its tradition for the new vampire to meet our leader victor; do you want to go?" John asked looking at me and then Zack.

"Yes, if it's tradition then I do." "Okay Nessa come on I'm going to take you to meet our leader; Victor."

As we reached Victor's house John wrapped his arm around my waist in support and held me close to him. Sometimes I wish he saw in me what I saw in him. I hugged him tightly to embrace his support.

"It's all going to be okay Nessa I got you." He knocked on Victor's door and we waited for him to answer.

"Why hello John, Who is this?" Victor said in surprise.

"Victor this is Vanessa the new vampire, Vanessa this is Victor." John said looking back between me and Victor.

"Hello Vanessa, what a pleasure to meet you." He said slyly.

"Hello Victor." I looked at the tall pale vampire. He had gray hair and pale blue eyes they looked almost white. Victor did the same except he studied me as if I was fresh food. "She's a fine vampire John." He said with a grin.

"Yeah you can than your son for that Victor."

"She'd make a fine bride John." John let out a sort of growl.

"SHE'S MINE VICTOR!" Once he had realized what he had said he cleared his throat.

"I mean she's not going to marry Zack; she just became a vampire not even a day ago! Give her time to get used to it."

As they were arguing I wondered off farther into the woods following the scent of roses and morning dew. When I reached a meadow with a waterfall I sat on the ground to overlook the beauty of this work of nature. The grass came up to my ankles when I was standing and the stream was so clear; with little pebbles at the bottom of it, and the waterfall, it was just so beautiful no words could describe it. While I was studying this amazing work of nature I heard a branch snap behind me. I froze in shock, then heard heavy breathing and I immediately knew who it was.

"Why'd you leave?" John managed to huff out of the breath he had left. I turned around

"I'm sorry John this meadow's smell was sort of calling me." He fell down laughing and landed right next to me. I looked down at him; I had never realized how beautiful his eyes were until this moment. I started to lean down towards his face. I wanted to kiss him so bad the heart I didn't have ached. Our moment of bliss ended when Zack came walking up. I fell over onto John and started laughing; I got up and walked over to Zack. I gave him a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek. He pulled me close to him and forced a kiss upon my lips.

"Ermm…Thanks for turning me into a vampire Zack."

"No problem darling." John growled and went past us. I swear he has anger management problems!

I went after John and tackled him to the forest ground; I looked at him and closed my eyes and kissed him softly. I didn't realize what I had done until I realized I was sitting under a tree crying my eyes out.

"Nessa its okay please don't cry." Little did he know that's all I wanted to do. I forced a smile and hugged him.

"Come on Nessa you can bunk at my house." He picked me up and carried me all the way to his house. I laid on the couch and fell asleep as he slept on the floor.
