(Eddie)
I still can't believe it. Two people I knew and trusted. But don't think I'm going threw this bad. Just imagine Nina. Her best friend, her boyfriend. And her best friend. They mean well, I understand. But I just don't get it. They aren't the people to be feared. But now I'm freaking scared. Not the, "OMG! They know my secret and they'll probably tell the whole school!" or the "ACK! THE BULLY!". No this is the "Am I gonna be greeted by the sun ever again in the morning?" kind of horror. Whom am I talking about? Fabian and Amber, silly! Who'd ya think I was talking about? Victor and Vera? HA HA! The geek-chic boy who basically is enemies with the terrible, and friends with everyone he can, and the pretty, er, blonde, who proves herself more thaan just a pretty face. Who would've thought? Nina and I are the only ones who know. Amber told Nina. She took it very hard. Amber didn't have to prove herself. Fabian told me. Me, being the "Believe it when I see it" kind of guy, Fabian had to prove to me. Although, he isn't typically your joking guy. Occasionally he'll say something sarcastic but he's a very serious/ down to business kind of guy. All this time. Brown wasn't even his natural eye shade. His eye shade for centuries was vibrant red. Vampire. When he was human, in 1699, his eye shade was a blue. A blue any guy would kill to have so girls could like them better. He was apparently very well known in his village in Liverpool, England. Fabian is currently three hundred fourteen years old. Amber isn't much off him. She's a decade younger. If you passed fourth grade, you can find the age yourself. It's against vampire law to have any kind of compassion for any mortal. I'm kinda convinced Victor is. Vera wants to be. I bet. Now, as soon as Fabian told me, he was hoping I'd shunn him. Nope. I've grown to like him too much to ever do that. Instead, I asked, "How the hell is Jasper your godfather if your centuries older than him?!". Seriously! Then another secret was spilled out. Jasper's apparently older than him! How long have vampires existed?! Longer than I thought obviously. Jasper's a whopping seven hundred eleven years old, eh. That really makes me sick. But, here's the story of how Nina and I found out about the vamps. Just warning you now, PG-13 from here until I say so. I might even forget. So if your, five, see ya, go find a cookie. It want's your slimy teeth biting it.
"So, you've been awfully quiet, Fabian..." Alfie said at the dinner table, interrupting everyone's silence.
"Uhh, sure..." Fabian said, poking a fork at his un-touched food.
"You becoming a 'rexicy, Fabian?" Jerome hissed bitterly.
"Someone's time of the month, Jerome." Fabian hissed. Burrrrrrrnnnnnn.
"Oh, thanks, I'm not really a girl, but, thanks anyways." Jerome hissed. These two were never friends. Never knew why. I guess it's their clashing personalities, however, his former best friend was a dumb, what the girls would say, 'hot', athlete. Fabian's a smart, what the girls would say 'cute' multi-talented non athletic guy. Never known him to get this nasty though. Oh, before I go on, vampires barf their guts up when they eat human food. Fabian's very, very, risky. That day he just chose he didn't want to barf his last hunt's worth.
"Oh, I didn't know. Learn something new everyday." Fabian snapped. Mara came to his boyfriend's defense.
"Oh so you thought I was a lesbian?" Mara snapped. So the two who have the same personality, both are giving whip lash verbally to people. Interesting.
"Yes, actually." Fabian said. Wow. Clever.
"Why the hell are you giving people whip lash, Fabian?" Patricia said.
"Why the hell is everybody bothering me!? I'm the one here, who was minding my own business then all of you start attacking me!" Fabian said standing up. Amber wasn't eating either. She usually does as well but she goes somewhere else to puke it up. Fabian's risky for being lazy. Fabian quickly stomped out of the room. Before he left, he whispered something in Amber's ear so only she could here it. She nodded. Then he stomped away.
"Hope everybody enjoyed their supper." Amber said calmly, kindly, and quietly. Everybody looked at each other like, "WTF?".
"What? I can't be kind to people? I have to be mean?" Amber said putting her plate away.
"I'm just greeting you guys goodbye. I'm going in my room till tomorrow. I found good sales on prom dresses. Never a bad time to start getting dresses for senior prom. I'll of course have the best. Anyone who wants advise, five dollars and you'll be one of the hottest there." Amber said, with a bright smile on her face. She left right after that. I felt tempted to see what she was up to because she headed towards Fabian and I's room, not her's.
At times like those, I'm glad our room was next to the bathroom. I leaned towards the wall to hear what was going on.
"What do you mean Lord Edward's gonna kill us?!" Fabian yelled.
"We're being to kind to the mortals! You fell in love with Nina, I'm falling in love with Alfie, we made really strong friendships, we can't do that with the mortals or the lycans." Amber said.
"Well thanks for pointing the facts out, Captain Obvious." Fabian hissed.
"Ugh, no time for sarcasm, he's sending, Micheal, to tell us what I found out." Amber said.
"Ugh, Micheal, the one who pissed in the lemonade when we were in ninth grade, for the sixth time?" Fabian said.
"Yup, the dork who thought he could beat us." Amber laughed evilly.
"I hear breathing in the bathroom." Fabian said breaking their mood. I heard Amber swear. I quickly flushed the toilet then ran into Patricia, Mara, and Joy's room. They were in there.
"Patricia!" I yelled.
"What? What's wrong!?" Patricia asked.
"It's Fabian and Amber!" I yelled. Joy perked up when I said Fabian.
"What's wrong with them?" Joy said. Mara looked confused.
"Um, you know what, I'll tell you guys later." I said running.
"We can't do that with the mortals or the lycans."
"Ninth grade, for the sixth time?"
The voices kept rushing threw my head. I kept thinking about opposites. Mortal, Immortal, Lycan, what the hell was a lycan!? I kept throbbing to go back to my room to research it on my laptop but then I'd be busted by Fabian. So I tried to think. I went to the couch in the living room. I laid down and thought. What was immortal? Zombies? No. Well, yes but according to "The Walking Dead", one swing at the head with a sword would do. Warlocks and Witches? I don't know. UGH! The pain of wanting so much to go on the internet. It kills. Trudy happened to notice.
"Eddie? Are you okay?" Trudy asked looking concerned.
"I despretly need to get online. I would go on my laptop but I don't want Fabian knowing." I sighed.
"Oh, honey, Fabian's such a nice boy, why hide things from him?" Trudy asked.
"Oh Trudy, I wish I could tell you. I wish I could tell someone. Ugh I regret ever eavesdropping on Fabian and Amber." I cried.
"Oh, I see. Fabian and Amber are a thing now." Trudy frowned.
"Noooo! Fabian said he'd rather barf on someone and die than ever date Amber. Their just really good friends." I said.
" Ah, okay. So, how bad do you need the internet?" Trudy asked.
"Super bad. Urgently bad." I said.
"Okay, come with me." Trudy said taking out keys from her coat. Her and I went to the attic to see Trudy's stuff. She had an Apple Mac Laptop.
"Be quick, you know how Victor get's mad with you guys up here." Trudy said leaving.
I looked up "lycans" first. It said that they are immortal, vicious, and nasty werewolves. DUH! How could I've been so stupid?! Next I looked up "immortal creatures". All that came up were lycan stuff. Nothing. Zombies appeared too, mummies, ghosts (obviously because I've seen one...), etc. Mummies, yuck! Their bodies that have been drained out with no anything except a heart, why? WHO THE HELL KNOWS?! And their wrapped in freaking old toilet paper. Oh, excuse me, SPECIAL toilet paper. Ghosts, uh, the one I've seen was the meanest piece of dirt ever. Zombie? Uhhhh, no comment. What else was there that was immortal? At that point I was brain dead. I turned off the computer and went downstairs. I told Trudy I was done. I thanked her and everything. Nothing useful to me really.
The next day, at breakfast, I was disappointing. But also worried. I didn't find anything useful the day before and Fabian and Amber weren't here. I looked in Fabian's bed but he wasn't there. Th newbie, K.T. I still didn't question.
"Hey, K.T; was Amber in her bed when she woke up?" I asked.
"No, I figured she was here, I guess not," K.T, shrugged.
Everyone kept eating.
"So no one cares? Nobody cares if Fabian and Amber were kidnapped? Their missing." I hissed.
"Don't get your balls in an knot, they probably went to school early." Joy said.
"Uh, don't get your panties in a twist. Nobody goes to school that early." I hissed back.
They weren't in school all day. They weren't there for dinner. By the time Sibuna time came, they were fifteen minutes late. My jaw dropped when I saw them. They look like they came out of a human washing machine then chickens pecked them to death.
"Where. The. HELL WERE YOU?!" I screamed.
"SHHHH" They both hissed at me.
"It's none of your business where we were. We need to get Sibuna updated." Amber said.
"I have no idea why Victor didn't go nuts today." Joy said.
"Well, if you won't tell us where you were, what happened to you then?" Alfie asked.
"Well, um, should we?" Amber said looking at Fabian.
"Noooo! Are you nuts?!" Fabian snapped.
"But life as we know it is going to end for u-" "Shut. Up!"
"But why not?!" Amber whined.
"It will kill them! Get it in your head!" Fabian hissed.
"But once again, Fabian, we shouldn't have compassion for these-"
"EHH!" Fabian whined pointing at us.
"But-" "No." "But we-" "NO!"
That's when I knew they weren't what I thought they were. No human being would try to refer to us as mortals. Or these mortals for that matter. Amber didn't finish her sentence but I knew what she was trying to say.
"Um, guys, maybe we should do this tomorrow. I think we're all beat. And tired. And have attitude." I said glaring at Fabian and Amber. Fabian gave me a evil look then went to our room. Amber looked at me in a depressing kind of way. Then she left.
"I miss the Fabian and Amber I knew. The ditzy blonde and the geek chic guy." Patricia sighed going to her room. Everybody left me in the kitchen. Alone. I went to my room. I wasn't intending on sleeping however.
"You have a lot of explaining to do." I hissed quietly closing the door.
"See, I don't. It's none of your business where we were." Fabian hissed.
"Well, I'd at least like to know why you look like you came out of a dog fighting ring." I said.
"Well, if I told you that, it would also tell you where I was. Look, I wish I could tell you, Eddie, but, it's not safe if you do know." Fabian said.
"W-what do you mean?" I asked.
"Um, did I not just tell you? I can't." Fabian said.
"Uh, will you get mad?" I asked.
"Well, that depends." Fabian said.
"Um, last night I went in the bathroom and over heard you and Amber." I confessed. His eyes suddenly widened.
"Okay, what do you know?" Fabian asked.
"Um, I heard something about mortals and lycans, and being in the ninth grade six times." I said. He shook his head.
"Is that all?" Fabian asked.
"And something about, Lord, uh, Edward?" I said. He held his head like he suddenly got a head ache.
"Uh, hold on," Fabian said getting his iPhone. He texted someone. Amber came in the room five seconds later.
"What do you mean he knows?! Did you tell him?!" Amber said Oh, now she doesn't want anyone to know.
"No. He was the one in the bathroom. He overheard us talking last night." Fabian said.
"Well he knows too much!" Amber whined.
"Not necessarily. Well, what could you conclude from that?" Fabian said glaring at Amber.
"Well, I figured the opposite of mortal would be immortal so I tried to think of things that were immortal. I came up with zombies, mummies, and ghosts. I had no idea what a lycan was until I looked it up and it's a human who was bitten and infected by a werewolf. I still couldn't figure out what was the opposite of a lycan though." I said feeling dumb. I was dumb. Fabian and Amber exchanged looks, then the both smiled evilly.
"Well, I guess not. But he could find out sooner than we think." Amber said.
"Is there something I'm missing? Code language? Conspiracies?" I asked.
"Well, we'll see if you find out. Then you'll know." Amber said said leaving.
"I-I don't get it. You and her are so different now than last term. Amber's really quiet and kind and your making everyone confused. Is it because of Nina?" I asked. We said nothing. I knew it wasn't just Nina. I hadn't seen Jasper at all this term. We all should've seen Jasper by now. We're two weeks in this term.
"Well, I won't lie. I'm not happy with her absence but it's not that." Fabian said.
"Jasper?" I asked.
"Uh, Jasper's away on a cruise. He'll be back soon." Fabian said quickly. That wasn't the truth. I couldn't believe Fabian was lying.
"Oh, well good for him." I said going in my bed.
"Yeah. It's an, uh, American and European cruise." Fabian lied again. Wow. If he is lying, he's a terrible lier. We both went to bed.
I am the only one who has contact with Nina. She didn't want anyone else to know the real reason whyshe didn't come to Anubis House this term. She lied and told everyone that her gran was dying and she needed to stay with her. But, truth be told, she really just didn't want to go back. I was confused when she told me. She said it was because of all the drama and she couldn't deal with Sibuna anymore. Over the summer, she gave me her locket. Only the Chosen One can use it though, according to Patricia. But I've been able to use it just fine. Of course I don't wear it, I just carry it with me in my pocket when Sibuna goes on. Nina of course second guessed leaving, but, she said maybe Fabian and Amber would be able to gain more of a friendship. Well, obviously her planned worked. They are two peas in a pod now.
I went to the cellar, by myself, to talk to Nina on the phone. No one needs to hear our conversation.
"Hello?" Nina asked, sounding kind of tired.
"Oops, I forgot about the time change," I said.
"Nah, it's fine, Eddie, my gran woke me up at like, four thirty, I'm good. So what's up?" Nina said. She was super bubbly.
"Well, Fabian and Amber are two peas in a pod." I said.
"YAY! I love them two so much, now that their best friends, YES!" Nina cheered.
"Hate to burst your bubble, chosen one, but, there's something wrong with them." I said.
"Oh, are they too close now?" Nina said.
"Well, they go everywhere together but their acting funny." I said.
"Good funny or bad funny?" Nina asked.
"Bad. Nina, um, Amber's quiet and not as girly, Fabian's verbally attacking everyone like a girl on her you know what, they were gone all day today and they came back just in time for Sibuna and they looked like they were mugged! They fought with each other too. But not the kind you'd think. I feel terribly guilty for eavesdropping but, they were talking about mortals and lycans and being in the ninth grade six times! And they were talking about some guy named lord Edward. Fabian's lying like a mad man, sayng Jasper's on an American and European cruise, Jasper's not here, they aren't eating or drinking, god knows if their sleeping, they keep wanting to tell all of us Sibuna's something but one of them says that we'll get killed, and they refer to us as mortals, Nina. What do you think?" I explained.
"Are you sure this information you gave me is correct? That absolutely does not sound like the Fabian and Amber I know." Nina asked.
"One hundred percent positive." I said.
"I'm coming back. Wait, lycans are human infected werewolves and mortals are people that have a life span, immortal, vampires..." Nina said. I almost crapped myself.
"Um, what to vampires look like?" I asked.
"Human! Go look them up online!" Nina yelled.
"I'm coming back, don't let anybody know. I know what's happening. But I'll tell you when I get there. Don't let them out of your sight." Nina said hanging up. I gulped. This could not be good.
In the morning, Fabian and Amber were the last to show up for breakfast.
"Oh well, well, well, if it isn't the snobby squad, featuring, Fabian and Amber." Jerome hissed.
"Oh, isn't that nice. Jerome decided to be herself today!" Fabian snapped.
"And with her lovely boyfriend, Mara!" Amber hissed. They both snickered and stood behind the two newbies, who where in their seats. K.T was in the seat that Fabian sat in since he didn't want anyone but him or Amber to sit there since it was Nina's seat, and Amber took Fabian's old seat.
"Um, there are chairs over there." K.T said politely.
"Okay, go sit in them then!" Fabian hissed.
"If you two morons had the knowledge of a kindergartner then you could've figured that out. But obviously you don't." Amber snapped.
"Come on, Amber, we aren't eating anyways." Fabian said.
"Hmph." Amber said following Fabian out the door.
"Thanks for starting them up today, Jerome." I hissed.
"I was just teasing. They started attacking the newbies who were minding their own business. And my girlfriend." Jerome said.
"Whatever." I said.
"What's up with them anyways? Their usually the one's that would stand up to us from the newbies. Not vice versa. It's just really strange for them." Joy said.
"Um, uh, I gotta, uh, go, uh, crap." I said running.
"OH NICE, EDDIE! YOU RUINED MY BREAKFAST! YOU DON'T TELL EVERYBODY THAT!" Jerome yelled.
I ran to the school, I spotted Fabian and Amber. I was doing what Nina said for me to do; keeping an eye on Fabian and Amber at all times. They were whispering about something. At times like these, I so badly wish I had dog like hearing. I wondered what the were saying. Then, outta no where, Patricia was behind me.
"Hey, Hey, Hey! Whatchya doing?" Patricia asked, almost making me pee myself. I jumped up in the air due to my fright. Fabian and Amber turned to me and snickered.
"Woah! I didn't mean to scare you like that." Patricia said.
"Nah, it's okay." I said.
"Remember when you told me there was something wrong with Fabian and Amber?" Patricia asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you..." I said.
"Well no turds. Tell me now." Patricia said.
"Well, I can't now." I said.
"Uh, why?" Patricia asked.
"Look, yacker, I wish I remembered but I didn't. Now I can't tell you." I said.
"Eddie!" Patricia whined.
"I'm sorry, Patricia." I said walking away. I still had to keep an eye on Fabian and Amber though. That was going to be tough; they weren't in all of my classes.
By dinner time, I managed to lose them.
"Hey, where's the newbie bullies?" Jerome hissed.
"I saw them in school this morning!" Willow said, trying to make herself useful.
"Well no duh." Joy said. Right after that, Fabian and Amber showed up.
"Wow, you two always find a way to dramatically appear in this room nowadays." Jerome said. Fabian glared at him. But not your, "Shut UP!" kind of glare. No this was the death glare. Jerome flinched.
"We need to talk to you." Fabian whispered in my ear so only I can hear. He sounded like velvet. I couldn't believe I thought that. He sounded super pissed though. Either he was mad about Jerome, or they found out something. I walked out in the hallway with both of them. They shut the door.
"You. Are. So. Dead." Amber hissed at me.
"What did I do?!" I asked.
"You got my girlfriend involved with your freaking game!" Fabian screamed. Everyone heard it.
"W-what game?" I asked. I knew Fabian would kill me.
"Okay, genius, I'll explain. You love to play kiss and tell, kiss up to Fabian, run to Nina. You told her everything you knew about us and she found out. Now she's coming. If you or anyone finds out now, we're all screwed. We can't fight all twenty of them!" Amber snapped.
"Your lucky I haven't killed you yet." Fabian mumbled.
"Fabian." Amber tisked.
"We have to tell you." Amber said. I gulped.
"We're vampires." Fabian said. I laughed. Fabian took out contacts to reveal his vibrant red eyes.
"Uhhhhh," I said.
"We also have special powers. Show him, Fabian." Amber said. Fabian put his hand against Amber's neck and eletricuted her with nothing. But, his hand. She screamed in pain. He finally let go when she punched him in the face.
"Now, my power's more distant." Amber said.
"Pain." She said facing Fabian. He fell to the ground and started having a seizure and screaming in pain. She didn't do anything to him. She stopped when he could raise his hand so her could give her the middle finger.
"Um, Fabian?" I asked.
"What." Fabian hissed. I could tell he didn't like the idea of telling me.
"How old are you and Amber?" I asked.
"I was born in 1699, she was born a decade after me. I'm three hundred fourteen years old. Amber's three hundred four." Fabian said.
"I know, Fabian's a pedophile, he's an old man dating a seventeen year old." Amber laughed.
"Well, I am seventeen." Fabian said.
"Yeah, since 1699." Amber said.
"Wait, if you said you were born in 1699, how were you seventeen?" I asked.
"Oh, I became a vampire in 1699, same with Amber, I was actually born in 1682. She was born in 1692." Fabian said.
"What's your diet? I'm curious." I asked. I knew what it was already but you never know.
"Well, we try to drink the local blood drive's blood rather than human's. We don't bother with animal blood because it's like tofu. And nobody likes tofu. I don't even think vegans like it." Amber said.
"What happens when there isn't any blood in the blood drives? I mean, of course there is but what happens if you can't get it?" I asked. This will be interesting.
"We just kill something to get it. We always have a plan B, we usually try to avoid it but, we have to go out of town and then find random people to kill. We always have to kill someone either way to get our blood but we'd rather not have to actually get it from a human." Amber said.
"What happens when you eat human food?" I asked.
"We throw it up. Violently. And then our actual food that we need goes down with the human food." Amber said.
"But, you guys eat human food. Well, ya did anyways..." I said.
"I go somewhere out of the house and get it out of my system. Fabian's lazy and does it here." Amber said.
"Pfft." Fabian said.
"Well then. Who is this, Lord Edward?" I asked.
"Lord Edward is the ruler of all vampires. All. Vampires all around the world. He's kinda like the Voultri from Twilight. Anyways, his laws are very strict. Us vampires aren't allowed to have an sorta compassion for humans." Fabian said.
"What happens if you do?" I asked.
"You get decapitated. Which is the only way to kill a vampire. Not light or garlic. We don't even sparkle in sunlight. We just prefer no light because there are humans out in daylight." Fabian said.
"Why do you guys have red eyes?" I asked.
"Yellowish Gold-ish means your a vegan, vibrant red means you drink human blood, dark red means your thirsty, etc." Fabian said.
"How does Nina know?" I asked.
"Well, she has a feeling, she isn't one hundred percent sure, and let's keep it that way, shall we?" Amber said. I nodded.
"What's gonna happen to me now that I know? And, what's gonna happen to you guys?" I asked.
"You might die, or have to turn into us, if you have any value to your life, which you do, your the Osirian, and as for us, we're probably screwed. We're probably going to be killed because we do feel compassion towards humans." Amber said.
"Lycans are a different story." Fabian mumbled.
"What did lycans do?" I asked.
"Ugh, their retarded, they think they know it all and they are the biggest threat do vampires because the know about us and could tell humans, or destroy our kind." Fabian hissed.
"Oh, are they a threat to my kind?" I asked.
"Yep, they can infect you with their venom, and we can do the same to you wit our venom. I'd personally have you a vampire rather than a nasty lycan. But I'd like you to be a human more than anything." Amber said looking sincere with her big vibrant red eyes, she was still the Amber I thought I knew.
"Would one of you change me if Lord Edward wanted me a vampire?" I asked.
"Yes, yes we would." Amber said.
For the whole week I had the same dream over and over. Me being a vampire. I might be better looking (a lot of people say I am but I'm not sure), I could go hunting with Fabian and Amber, it seemed like a fantasy for a life. Fabian told me he loved to go to the prison's and tourcher the convicts that were in there for like raping children and stuff. He liked the show them toys of whatever sex the child they raped were. Then he'd kill 'em after a couple of hours. I imagined doing that with Fabian in my dream. How much fun we'd have doing it. That's when my want for being a vampire began.
The next day, a week after I found out about the vampires, Fabian and Amber were beginning to be more calmer about everything. They eat again. I'd always keep guard of the bathroom while Fabian puked his guts up and I'd also make sure Victor never came down and saw Amber not there in her room. Fabian told me it was a relief to tell me about what they were. I agreed. It was a relief to me now that I only had one mystery to solve and not two. Fabian and Amber were a huge help to Sibuna, trying to find this re awaking thing. Jerome leaves them alone. Fabian taught him a lesson. Everything seemed perfect. Until Nina showed up during Sibuna...
"Eddie!" Nina called threw the tunnels.
"Nina! Why'd you get here so late?" I asked.
"Gran's pretty hard to convince, now where are my two trouble makers?" Nina asked. I was pretty sure she was referring to Fabian and Amber.
"Nina?!" Patricia yelled running towards Nina.
"Patricia!" Nina yelled running towards her hugging her.
"Aww, show me some Alfie love Nina!" Alfie yelled hugging Nina.
"It's not possible to forget you, Alfie!" Nina said.
"Hey Nina!" Joy said.
"Hey Joy!" Nina said hugging her. They were fighting over Fabian last year and things got brutal, but things are better now apparently.
"Hey! I'm K.T. I'm new here. Kinda." K.T said.
"Hey nice to meet you! Things here at Anubis house can get pretty weird. As I'm sure you've seen." Nina said shaking K.T's hand. Fabian and Amber then stepped out. No one said anything for awhile.
"Awkward." Alife said.
"Well, how you two weirdos doing?" Nina said.
"Good?" Amber said. She caught them at a bad time, they were going hunting tonight. But they would never hurt her.
"Well?" Nina said.
"Well what?" Amber asked.
"Wow, you two got lazy!" Nina said walking over towards them. She hugged them. Amber was ready to dig in. But she knew she couldn't. Fabian would either decapitate her, or electrocute her then decapitate her.
"Hmm, you two are awfully quiet huh?" Nina said rubbing her hand on a sharp rock to scratch it I'm amusing. Oh no.
"Ouch!" Nina said, she cut herself. Amber freaked out. Fabian's eyeballs were bulging.
"It's okay guys, it's just a little cut. Nothing that a little disinfectant stuff and a band aid can't fix." Nina said. Amber licked her teeth. She leaned down a bit, then charged at Nina.
"AMBER!" I yelled.
Fabian grabbed Amber just in time and electrocuted her.
"AHHHHH! UGH! ACK!" Amber screamed falling on her knees.
"Ummm, Fabian? HOW THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT?! AND WHY DID AMBER PLUNGE AT ME?!" Nina screamed.
"Uh, I had one of those thingies on that electrocute people and she was trying to uh, rip open your cut! I told her it would hurt you but she was being selfish..." Fabian lied.
"Yeah! How selfish of me!" Amber said glaring at Fabian.
"Um, let's call it a night? Huh?" I suggested. No way I was letting Nina go near Amber when she was thirsty.
That night, Fabian told me he was going hunting with Amber and to make sure Nina didn't find them gone. Nina ruined what I thought was perfect. I went into Nina's room with K.T and Amber, I told them that Fabian was taking Amber to the hospital because she fell and hurt her upper arm.
"Nina? Can I talk to you out in the hallway?" I asked.
"Sure." Nina said following me out into the hallway.
"I know what they are." I said.
"That's great! What are they?" Nina asked.
"I can't tell you." I said.
"Why did you send me OUT HERE THEN?!" Nina yelled. She was now pissed.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know then and I needed to know! They finally told me and now you can't know because you'd get killed!" I explained.
"Fine! I'll get it outta them myself." Nina said going back into her room.
The next day was ridiculous. We had mid term tests everywhere and Jerome started his crap again. He was lucky he didn't do it before Fabian went hunting. Nina wouldn't stop bombarding Amber all day about the what-species-are-you crap. Nina was annoying everyone. I was about to make Fabian kill me by the end of the day. I decided against it. The next day after that, Fabian and Amber got mail.
"Here, children." Victor hissed harshly giving Fabian the letter. Fabian read it, his eyes getting wider and wider every sentence he read. He handed it to Amber. She had the same reaction.
"We are so screwed." Amber said.
"He's coming here?" Fabian asked.
"Who's coming here? Why are you screwed?" I asked. They pulled me out into the hallway.
"Lord Edward's coming with the royal vampires." Fabian said.
"Oh.." I said.
"When?"
"Tonight." Amber said. I almost fell backwards.
"What time?!" I asked.
"Eight p.m. Everyone will still be awake. Everyone will see what will happen to us." Fabian said.
"Can't you get other vampires to come and help you?" I asked.
"Well, yeah, but we'd have to skip school again." Amber said.
"Who gives a flying squirrel pee?!" Fabian hissed.
"We'll be back before seven thirty. We'll have about sixteen other vampires with us. Make sure everyone's in their rooms." Fabian said.
"Okay." I said. They left in thin air as I watched. For what I thought was my amazing bliss just became a amazing nightmare.
"What's going on?!" Mara said coming in with everyone else.
"Okay, you guys, there are intruders coming but don't worry-"
"INTRUDERS?!" Jerome screamed.
"Don't worry," I continued.
"Fabian and Amber are taking care of it."
"Oh yeah. We're going to be saved by them. Whoopee." Jerome said sarcastically.
"No, no, I think this'll work! Fabian's really smart, Amber's smart when she wants to be, they both can sweet talk you outta things, and, no offense but, they can just look at you and you'll drop dead. And I'm not saying that because their the closest to me, I'm saying it because they are." Nina said.
"Oh great. Let's complement the snobs while their gone. Maybe you should say it to their face sometime, Martin, it might help their anger issues." Jerome hissed at Nina.
"Ugh, can everyone just shut up about them?!" I yelled. Dead silence.
"Thank you! Just have faith in them, Jerome, they know what their doing. They aren't stupid." I hissed.
"Their certainly acting like it..." Jerome mumbled.
"Okay, if your gonna talk crap about us, do it quieter, please?" Amber said coming in the room we were in.
"Where the hell did you come from?! I thought you and British Justin Bieber were gonna save the town!" Jerome said. Alfie chuckled.
"Not funny, ailen boy, and uh, we are, it's been a long time, it's seven, go in another room! Shoo!" Fabian hissed flying right behind Jerome.
"Uhhh, you are a stalker." Jerome said.
"Mmm, yes. Now go before I hurt you. I can. You're just denying it." Fabian said putting a weird, hypnotic emphasis on denying. Jerome stared right into Fabian's eyes. Either Jerry was turning gay on me, or Fabian has multiple powers.
"Yes. I. Am. Secretly. Petrified. Of. You." Jerome said, Fabian keeping his death stare with Jerome on dead lock.
"Go." Fabian hissed. Jerome did as he was told. Wow. They need to explain to me more. They obviously didn't tell me all of it. Everybody went into their bedrooms except me and the weirdo vampires.
"Uh, you still have some explaining to do. But first, did you get the vampires?" I asked.
"Yes, we have all of my close vampire friends, ditto for Fabian, and everything is planned. Fabian has multiple gifts. He can electrocute you, as you saw. But what you just saw there was another one. You can't, you won't, you never will, lie to Fabian again once he does that to you. Jerome's tricks are done now. He also can read minds. Only he holds multiple powers. He is so far, the only vampire existing on Earth, that has three powers. And there all useful in any situation. May it be defensive psyically, mentally, or socially." Amber explained. Woah. My eyes were huge.
"Do you want to know why he has that many?" Amber asked.
"Captain obvious." I mumbled, thinking only I'd hear it. Fabian chuckled. Amber stuck her tongue out at me.
"Lord Edward is my grandfather. Great grandfather, that is. He has the power if your related to him, to make you do or look. He made me like this." Fabian said. Yep, that time I felt something come outta my butt. And it wasn't nice smelling or looking. Fabian looked at me like he was gonna start rolling on the floor with laughter.
"Well, come and meet our guests, we're kept them waiting long enough." Amber said. Fabian pushed me for what I thought was so hard into the living room.
"Well, Eddie, I'm immortal, your mortal, I'm stronger than twenty thousand guys that could pick you up past their heads. You could even lift Amber. Period. She's as light as a feather, yet you'd think she weighed a ton." Fabian chuckled darkly.
"Meet my friends first. This is Willow, Daisy, Lily, and Rose. The Nature Coven. There powers only use the nature around them, but if there's a really heavy rock around, and you wanna fight, these are your girls." Amber said. Daisy and Lily looked like twins. They both had strawberry blonde hair, liquid topaz eyes, a very petite body, etc. Lily had like a lily pad pendant on her neck along with a chain to go with it, also earrings that matched. Daisy was wearing a daisy pendant with a gold chain to go with it and daisy earrings. Daisy, however, was wearing a daisy bow on her head while Lily had just a neon purple headband on. Willow was way different looking though. Willow had red hair with blonde highlights, really Gothic like eye makeup, fingerless leather gloves, a leather jacket, tore up jeans, really worn out boots, and this really long chain that wen all the way down to her top thighs. There it had a pendant with words in really sleek cursive, I couldn't read it though. She had red eyes.
"Hello." Willow said to me. Daisy and Lily both smiled at me.
"Hello, Fabian." Willow said raising her eyebrows up and down.
"Hey power puff girl." Fabian said.
Over by Fabian were four vampires. They all had golden eyes. There were three guys and one girl. The three guys were the same size as Fabian. One of them had blonde hair that really looked like Justin Bieber's modern hair. The next one had hair that was short and simple with spikes. It was brown. The last one was really clean and snobby looking. I guess we'll have to see if he is or not. The girl was beautiful. She had the same features as Fabian almost. Her hair color was the same. She had her hair swept back but Her eyes were the exact same color as Fabian's vampire eyes. She was very slim but not petite, like Fabian. She wore a guys leather jacket, black jeans with a spiky looking belt. She had a bracelet that looked like her belt and a spiky necklace that looked like a collar and looked like her belt. She had DC sneakers on and they were like, zebra print almost. She caught me staring at her. She smiled shyly at me.
"Faith! He's gotta girlfriend! I think!" Fabian said. Their names were even similar.
"I was not you turd! Ugh! Brothers are annoying! Oh, I'm Faith! Fabian's twin sister!" Faith said sticking her hand out at me.
"Nice to meet you." I said shaking her hand. Twins. Of course.
"Theses doofs are, Brian, Jake, and Dominic." Faith said pointing to the guys.
"Hey! We're smarter than you'll ever be! Even though your brother's a freaking psychopath and scares the crap out of me, still, WE'RE SMARTER THAN you!" Jake said. His voice was deep and doofus sounding. Oh yeah, real smart. Fabian chuckled at that thought. I gave a crooked smile and shrugged.
"Okay, now that we're all here, Fabian and I would like you to meet our friend, Eddie Miller." Amber said.
"Uh, nice to meet you all." I said shyly.
"Um, is he wearing contacts or something?" Lily said.
"Uh, he's um, uh," Amber stuttered. I looked at Fabian confused. I think they told me why but I forgot.
"I'm a human..." I blurted out. Daisy gasped. Faith was ready to pounce on me.
"That's why I smelled blood in here." Jake mumbled.
"He's mortal but he is not a threat to our kind." Fabian said.
"Any mortal or lycan is a threat, Fabian, you know that!" Willow hissed.
"This mortal in particular is not going to give us away. He knows everything." Amber said.
"He'll be killed!" Brain said.
"Not necessarily. We're gonna try to convince Lord Edward to not kill him. Like, we don't want him dead or immortal. We want him the way he is." Amber said.
"Oh please! Like Lord Edward would listen to you. He already knows what you do with those, mortals." Willow said.
"Oh what's that supposed to mean?! Willow..." Fabian hissed. Willow fell to the ground.
"Ugh! Whose doing that!?" Willow screeched.
"I am, now shut up about what we do. That's absolutely the worst thing you can do right now!" Amber hissed.
"Oh whatever! If we're all here to help the mortal, I'm not one of them!" Willow hissed. Fabian looked at Amber like he was asking her a question. She nodded and glared at Willow. I figured something bad was going to happen. Willow's eyes looked around the room like she was looking for an exit.
"Willow, you only have one more chance. Either you corporate with us or you'll be just a paralyzed vampire. Your. Choice." Amber threatened. Then I knew what they were saying. Fabian was asking Amber if he had permission to electrocute Willow at full power. Would hate to be Willow.
"Ugh! Fine! I'll help you save the dumb mortal!" Willow hissed.
"Good. He's coming in fifteen minutes." Fabian said finally breaking his silence. All the guests' mouths flew open.
"Of. Course." Faith sighed.
"Now come on!" Amber said taking my arm. We practically flew to the backyard of the house. Fabian was already there along with the others. Then, if you squinted really hard, you could see them coming. Lord Edward and the royal vampire army. Lord Edward looked as he was forty-nine.
"How old is Lord Edward? Vampire years and human years." I whispered to Fabian.
"He's fifty three in human years and he's nine hundred ninety in vampire years. He's been around since the first thousand years of A.D." Fabian said. Before I could even blink, which vampires pretended to do, Lord Edward was already here.
"Ah, Fabian and Amber. How nice to see you again." Lord Edward said, smiling evily. Amber snorted. Fabian looked at me. He was worried. I could tell.
"So, you brought the mortal with you, I see." Lord Edward said. I was just about ready to punch someone if they called me a moral again.
"He's no threat to our kind." Fabian said. Lord Edward snorted.
"He really isn't."
"And how can you be so, sure, of that my great grandson?" Lord Edward asked. Fabian had no response.
"Exactly. But, maybe you are correct. Let me see the boy, Fabian." Lord Edward said. Fabian nodded and he and Amber brought me to Lord Edward.
"What is his name?" Lord Edward asked.
"Eddie Miller." Amber said. Not. My ugly, hideous name is Edison Sweet.
"Eddie, give me your hand." Lord Edward said. I hesitated at first, then I gave it to him. He grabbed it and cupped it with his hands. He smiled evilly at me.
"He's the Osirian." Lord Edward said letting go of my hands. He pointed back to where the other vampires were. We started to head back but then he grabbed my arm. He still pointed towards them. Telling Fabian and Amber to go back. Amber glared and returned to where they started. Fabian did the same. Lord Edward looked at me in a very weird way. Then pointed for me to go. I ran over behind Fabian and Amber. Amber told me not to worry. One of the royal vampires whispered something to Lord Edward.
"He isn't a threat, Calius." Amber said.
"I'd take my chances. And if you two keep talking back, the consequences will be high." Calius hissed. All of a sudden Jasper was between Fabian and I.
"Jasper..." Fabian whispered.
"What's going on, Fabian? Why is Eddie here? Does he know? How did he find out?" Jasper questioned.
"Yes, he knows, he was catching on to us so Amber and I just told him. Now Edward's on our case, planning to kill him-"
"What?!"
"We're handling it Jasper-"
"But he's not a-"
"Fabian Lewis Rutter-"
"Why are you being over dramatic Jasper!?"
"Because, he is only seventeen, Fabian! I can't believe you! Just wait until Uncle A-"
"Jasper!" Fabian hissed.
"AHHHHH!" Lord Edward screeched happily.
"What the fudge?" Willow mumbled.
"Faith, my great granddaughter..." Lord Edward said motioning Faith to come to him. She did as she was told.
"My dear, what do you see in the future?" Lord Edward asked.
"Your not going to change your mind! No! Well I'm not letting you touch him!" Faith screamed kicking Lord Edward in the face. He flew high up in the air but quickly flew back to where he started.
"Now that wasn't very nice, Faith, take her away." Lord Edward said. Calius and another royal vampire, I was assuming Serio, took the arms and pinned them behind her back. They started heading off with her.
"NO!" Fabian yelled charging at Lord Edward, Amber got him.
"Fabian no!" Amber yelled. He electrocuted her. She made a face but kept him still.
"Let her gooooo!" Jasper yelled charging at Lord Edward, Lord Edward came charging at him. They flew in the air at each other and Jasper's body flew on the ground and Lord Edward landed on his feet. In his hands, he reveled, Jasper's decapitated head. His eyes were wide open. Faith started crying. Fabian screamed and cried. Amber covered her mouth in shock. All the other vampires looked at each other in shock. Then Fabian's eyes went into what seemed like flames, I saw some sparks fly off his hands. Lord Edward smiled evilly. Fabian growled then gritted then looked at Amber. She mimicked his face reaction. They looked at me.
"Eddie, go inside." Fabian snarled. He wasn't meaning that as a insult but he wasn't being compassionate when he said it. Nor did he mean it as an option. I pretended to run in the house but I really was hiding behind a wall, watching the fight. I was far enough so Fabian couldn't hear my thoughts; and no one could see or hear me. Yet I was close enough to see and hear everything. Great!
Fabian and Amber looked at the other vampires and they nodded. Then they all charged at Lord Edward and the royal army. Lord Edward raised his hands in the air and all the vampires except him, Calius and Serio charged at Fabian and Amber's little "army". Amber ran out there hyper. Like she's always wanted to do this he whole life. Human and vampire. She ran threw a little bit of the royal army like they were leaves. She either left them paralyzed, or decapitated. I swore I saw her bite one of them. Amber went flying threw royal after royal, with her straight, blonde har flying every direction. Her thin black long sleeve shirt wasn't even touched by the time she made it towards the more difficult vampires. She had a little struggle with them. But she managed. She did her special power on them and the were paralyzed. It's not like she's actually hurting you! She's just making an illusion! She had no difficulty running faster than a cheetah in her four inch high heel leather boots. She looked fashionable while kicking people's butts. That's so Amber.
Fabian was super pissed flying threw one vampire after another, decapitating vampire after vampire, electricuting many, hypnotizing a few here and there. He looked as if his eyes were little volcano eruptions. He went straight to the royals with the powers. There was one that shot a life threatening vapor threw his hands. It took away your capability of sight, hearing, an touch. Not a good power to get hit with. Then there was one that totally changed the setting you see. You could see a blizzard one minute and then the freaking Bahamas or a rainforest. And you can't see anyone in your surroundings either. It's just you. The rest either had mind powers, or were freakishly strong. Or both. Fabian quickly slide threw them because they were attacking other vampires. He headed towards Faith who was getting her head pulled off. Faith looked at Fabian in a pleading way. But not the plead you'd think. She was pleading Fabian to kill her. Quickly. He backed up and kicked all three of their heads off. Calius, Faith, and Serio. Lord Edward saw that and quickly went for him. Fabian electrocuted him. Amber came to Fabian's side to help. Lord Edward grabbed Fabian's head and tried to pull it. Amber went on Lord Edward's neck and started pulling his head. Willow saw Fabian and Amber dying over by Lord Edward. They were. Fabian had some cracks in his face and Amber did as well. Willow, being apart of the coven that only had nature related powers, did something tat was both good and bad. It was good because Fabian and Amber's group can kill more royals, but vise versa for the bad. Willow punched the earth making a crack in the earth so big that it would kill you to cross, and so deep that you could see the inner core of the earth. Dominic pushed the royal vampire that could make you lose your most needed senses in the crack. A random royal threw Lily in the crack. Willow grabbed that royal vampire that threw one of her coven members in the crack down with her. Wilow saw Daisy's motionless head rolling towards the crack. When Willow realized she was the only one left in her coven she almost fell in the crack herself. Then she saw a freakish looking wolf thing spit out Daisy's left arm. It licked it's fangs. Willow gasped. A bunch more of them came chewing on either Daisy's or some other vampires' body parts. Her eyes suddenly became huge.
"LYCANS!" Willow screamed so loud, I bet America heard it. Lord Edward's face was really screwed up, put it was beautiful once you saw Fabian and Amber's face. They were dying. Lord Edward caught eye contact with me and he plunged at me. Fabian and Amber went after him. All of a sudden something bit my neck. I screamed so loud as I fell on my back into the snow. I was having spasms everywhere, blood was dripping out of my neck. The pain was unbelievable. My eyes rolled into the back of my head as I gurgled blood. Fabian was in much worse condition than Amber but he said he'd stay and fight. Amber brought me inside the house where everyone was standing. In horror.
"AMBER?!" They all screamed. They were probably horrifyed by her cracks in her face. I gurgled blood at her by accident.
"What's wrong with Eddie?!" Patricia demanded.
"Ugh, the royals, then the crack, then the lycans, now you?" Amber nagged cleaning me up.
"Am. I. Going. To. Die?" I could barely get the words out. Amber sniffled and she looked horribly upset. She nodded and carried me into my bed and put my covers on me. She kissed my cheek and ran away. I coughed up blood as I was still having spasms. I was screaming in pain but no one came in. I knew I was going to die. All of a sudden Fabian came in, he looked worse than Amber. I heard Nina and Joy screaming in horror over him.
"Your not leaving me, Eddie." Fabian said biting my wrist. Oh great, more pain. I jerked and squirmed around as I felt something other than my blood go threw my veins. It felt like whatever it was it was burning eery last drop of blood in my body. It took hours of that pain until I finally blacked out. I was having that vampire fantasy again with me as a vampire hunting with Fabian and Amber, me teaching the rapists a lesson with Fabian. Oh how I wished it were real.
When I woke up; everything was different. Everything was sharper, defined. I heard things clearer. I was in the Anubis House's living room couch. I saw Fabian and Amber around the couch, waiting for me to wake up. Fabian and Amber looked even better than before I met them. They were beautiful. Fabian saw me and handed me a mirror while he told Amber I was up. Then I realized, I was beautiful too. My throat really hurt me though.
"I know it does. You're a new born." Fabian said.
"You wanna go hunting with us?" Amber asked. I couldn't believe it.
"I would like that." I said. It didn't sound like me. It sounded like I was singing. Fabian chuckled.
"Most of the time I wish I could read thoughts." Amber said.
And so we head off, into the town of Liverpool, England; to have a wonderful day of hunting for blood drives.
