Chapter 5
She heard another click, and the door opened. When she looked in, she gasped, not believing her eyes...
"G... grandma? G... grandpa?" Gabriella whispered in shock.
"Gabi!" Gabriella's grandparents ran forward at their vampire speed and hugged her gently, "you're ok"
"Ya? I am. How?" her grandparents sighed, not knowing how they can explain how they are alive, when she saw them die, when she was 5 years old.
"Well, we're vampires. This is our army. We never really died. We are born as vampires, and so are you... kind of. You are half vampire and half human. Your mom is a human, and your dad is 1/3 vampire. Do you understand?" Gabriella blinked trying to understand her grandpa.
"So, I'm half vampire and half human" Gabriella translated
"Yes" her grandma told her.
"Is this kind of like Twilight and Vampire Diaries?" Gabriella's grandparents and the other creatures laughed.
"In a way, yes. You will stop aging when you turn 15. Every half vampire, half human does. When you are a full vampire, you will stop aging at 20. Don't ask me how that works out. But you are immortal Gabriella" Gabriella heard a guy tell her. She looked behind her, to see a guy, shirtless, wearing jean shorts and his hair is short.
"You look like your Jacob from Twilight" everyone laughed again, but Gabriella and the guy. Gabriella's grandparents pulled Gabriella to them, just in time for him to change into a werewolf.
"You're a werewolf" Gabriella whispered and the werewolf nodded.
"Yes I am. I am NOTHING like the werewolves you see in Twilight. But they do get part of the truth right. We do kill vampires. Our bite is deadly to them. But we can only attack on a full moon, new moon or an eclipse. We are immortal and same are vampires and witches. Everyone here in this jail, as well all call it by, are the only werewolves, vampires and witches, besides our originals. Our originals are the original vampires, werewolves and witches. They have the power to kill any of us if we break the law. Which are: 1) not allowed to kill innocent humans, 2) can't let them know there are creatures among them, and 3) no wars. But we are going to break law number 3, to save you. You can die... kind of. There is one day a year, that you are a human, and can die. And Emma knows that"
"What? What day is that?" Gabriella asked confused as ever
"Your birthday"
"What the heck? I don't get this. First you're telling me I'm half human and half vampire. Second, you're telling me I'm immortal. Third you're telling me that I can die on my birthday"
"Kind of. If you don't get kissed by your best friend and tell each other your feelings, you will die"
"How the hell did you if this out, and who made this up?" Gabriella shouted
"It's not made up. It's the truth"
"Whatever" Gabriella went to the wall and sat down, with her grandparents following behind her. Once all 3 of them sat down, Gabriella sighed, "Why is this so confusing. Why can't it be simple? Like, '1) you're a vampire and immortal. You stop aging at 15, and you can't die'"
"Nothing is simple sweetie. That is why we led you here, so we can tell you the truth and that way when the war starts, you will know how to protect yourself" Gabriella's grandma told her
"Protect myself?"
"Our family are relatives of the vampire originals. The leader of the vampire originals is my great, great grandfather" Gabriella nodded.
"This is a lot to take in"
"I know. You should've seen me, when my mother told me"
"Did you go all freaky deeky?"
"Yes. Very much so" Gabriella and her grandma laughed
"I went crazy when my parents told me" Gabriella smiled at her grandpa, "I was screaming, crying and wanted to break something"
"Why couldn't my dad tell me? Will Nessie become one of us?"
"You have to get told by vampires. I don't know why, but you do. And as for Nessie no. Your mother isn't a vampire, and even though you guys are sisters by blood, she won't be one"
"Can she become one?"
"Yes. If YOU bite her. And it has to be by choice or when she is dying"
"What about Troy and his family?"
"Again, choice or dying"
"Ok. But will they go to war with us?"
"Yes. We are best friends with Lucy and Jack. They know the truth, and they said that they want to become one of us, just a week before the war"
"Will Troy, Chad, Zak and Ness come too?"
"Yes they will. They will be hidden in here. The war will be happening here in the woods. Its destiny, and Emma, Jake and their army will be coming too"
"Is that why they tried killing me and kidnapping me and all that?"
"They were trying to keep you from finding out the truth about your history, and our family's"
"Will I die?"
"No. We will keep you safe honey" Gabriella's grandma told her, "the war is next month, and so we have a month to teach you how to fight"
"Will I be like Demon and Stefan?"
"In a way, kind of. You will be fast. You're vampire side of you will have to get triggered and then it will come out, and you will be like us."
"Ok. When do I start? Will I have to drink blood? Will I be pale, and sparkle?" all the vampires laughed
"You will start tomorrow. No, you can once in a while, but you will be eating human food. We don't sparkle in sunlight. We wear necklaces so we can walk around. And you will be pale, but you will have a beating heart" Gabriella nodded, "do you remember the necklace I gave you for your birthday, when you were 4?" Gabriella looked at her neck and played with the necklace she never takes off, "that's the necklace"
"This is the one? It's still as beautiful as when you gave it to me"
"I know. But we will be giving your brothers and sister one. Zak is coming of age, where he will become a vampire. When he turns 25, is when he will be one of us. As for Chad, he will be 20"
"Why will Zak be later than others?"
"No one knows. They have 1/3 like your dad"
"Is dad one?"
"No"
"How do you know who will be and who won't be?"
"You have to be pure and believe"
"I don't understand..."
"You have to have a pure heart. You have to believe in the supernatural and you have to protect the ones you love, with everything you have"
"Like you Gabriella. You will protect your family and Troy's friends with everything you have. You have a pure heart and you believe in vampires, werewolves and witches. You always have" Gabriella's grandpa told her.
"Oh"
"Ok, that's enough for right now. Let's let you sleep so you can think about it" Gabriella's grandma told her, "We will be right here when you wake up"
"Goodnight. I love you"
"We love you too"
