Chapter 8
"Anyway! Do you remember?" they all nodded, "ok, Rachel, she is a witch. Joe is a werewolf and Brooke and I are vampires. Zak, you will be turning into a vampire this week. Chad, you will when your 20. Troy, Ness, you guys can turn into one when you choose, or if you die and want to be one. I know it's hard to believe, but it is true. You can even ask mom and dad. They are going to be vampires in a few days. It's not painful at all. You can't tell people you are vampires. You burn in the sun, but we were these necklaces and they protect us. It's really fun! I'm half human and half vampire. So I eat human food, and I can drink blood, but its animal blood." Gabriella stopped speaking when she saw their eyes wide. Maybe it was a bad idea to tell them...
"What? How? When?" Chad stuttered, knowing Gabriella is telling the truth.
"I'm half human, half vampire. Mom is human, but dad is 1/3 of a vampire. Grandma and Grandpa are both vampires. I found out a while ago. They had to tell me" Gabriella answered honestly.
"That is... so cool! So I get to be a vampire soon?" Zak asked excitedly.
"Yup. And the girl you were checking out is my friend" Gabriella answered with a grin, knowing he likes Brooke.
"Cool" Zak hugged Gabriella gently and kissed her cheek, "so what's going on here?" Gabriella sighed
"There's going to be a war. Emma and her army, against us werewolves, vampires and witches. Grandma and Grandpa are in it too. Why there's going to be a war, is cause of me. On my birthday is when I can die. But any other day, I can't die, and they know that" Troy is slowly letting this sink in, along with Nessie. Chad looked upset and Zak, he looked furious.
"Are you going to fight?" Troy asked as Gabriella looked at him
"I have to. But you, Chad and Nessie are going to stay here. Zak, you are too. But the rest of us are going to. Mom and dad are going to be fine. They won't be able to die at all, since they are going to be bitten"
"But..."
"When I turn 13, I will NEVER be able to die. I will be fine Troy. What's going to happen is we pair off into teams. Like the soccer game that we will be having. Us kids, it's our idea. We just want to see if we can do it right"
"Gabi, it's time" Rachel cheered as Gabriella, Joe and Brooke sighed.
"Rach, STOP using your powers for once in your life!" Joe called as he walked over with his team of werewolves.
"Ya right" Rachel answered as her team of witches. Brooke walked over with her team, and Gabriella's.
"Thanks Brooke" Gabriella told her.
"You're welcome. That's what I get for being bored" Brooke laughed. Zak listened to her laugh. It sounds like bells.
"Brooke, this is my brother Zak. He's your age and will be a vampire soon" Brooke and Zak smiled at each other, both knowing that Gabriella is playing match maker... again! She got Joe and Rachel dating.
"Hi" Zak greeted.
"Hello" Brooke answered, as she checked him out.
"Ok, let's play!" Joe called holding Rachel's hand.
"Ok" Gabriella and everyone agreed.
"You want to watch?" Gabriella asked Chad, Nessie, Troy and Zak. They nodded and everyone went out, including the adults.
Once outside, all the adults, Chad, Zak, Nessie, Troy, Lucy and Jack sat down and watched as Gabriella stopped the fight between teams.
"GUYS!" Gabriella shouted and that caused them to stop, "we are going to play a nice, clean game. Rachel's team vs. Joe's team" Gabriella's team and Brooke's team walked off the field as the game began. Once Gabriella told them it was over, it was 100 against 99. Rachel's team won!
"Ok, now it's me and Gabriella" Brooke told them, as the teams' 'ooo'.
"Vampire vs. Half vampire. This is going to be good" Joe cheered. As the game began, it's always Brooke, then Gabriella, and back and forth. By the time Joe told them it's over, it was 200 against 201. Gabriella's team won!
"YES!" Gabriella's team cheered. Nessie smiled and ran onto the field, to Gabriella.
"You were great!" Nessie squealed as Gabriella picked her up.
"Thanks" Gabriella kissed Nessie's cheek and smiled, "I love you"
"I love you too"
By the time all the teams played against each other, it was midnight. In a week today, the war will start and finish. Tonight, Gabriella's grandparents, decided to change Lucy and Jack, while the kids are asleep. And when they were asleep, the unthinkable happened... Zak's genes kicked in, and he is now a vampire...
Chapter 9
By the time all the teams played against each other, it was midnight. In a week today, the war will start and finish. Tonight, Gabriella's grandparents, decided to change Lucy and Jack, while the kids are asleep. And when they were asleep, the unthinkable happened... Zak's genes kicked in, and he is now a vampire...
As everyone awoke, Gabriella saw the difference in Zak.
"Wow, I didn't think it would happen this fast and painless" Gabriella heard Zak whisper to himself.
"I know right?" Zak's head snapped up and saw Gabriella 10 feet away from him.
"How can you hear me?"
"Part of being a vamp" Gabriella grinned and walked to him, "now you have to go with mom, dad, grandma and grandpa. They will help you control yourself. We all know that you are craving blood. Human or animals. It doesn't really matter. Just go with them, and then you can play soccer with us. Why we play it, is to control ourselves. We always need to do that, it's a fun way too" Gabriella smiled and helped Zak up. As she got him up, he fell and a rock smashed to smithereens, from under him, "get up" Zak looked at Gabriella and slowly got up. Once he was up, he tried to keep his balance, "your body isn't used to the vamp side of you yet. Just stay like that for a few more minutes"
As a few minutes went by, Gabriella walked with him to their grandma and grandpa, Lucy and Jack. Lucy and Jack smiled at Zak and hugged him gently.
"Welcome to the vamp life" Lucy joked, as everyone laughed
"Thanks mom" as the 5 of them left, Gabriella turned around to see Troy, Chad and Nessie.
"Don't you burn in sunlight?" Chad asked stupidly.
"Ya, but I told you already. We were necklaces to walk in sunlight. Not a lot of vampires do. You need to listen for once" Gabriella rolled her eyes at Chad, knowing he will never listen. Chad stuck his tongue out at her, and she gently flicked him in the arms, "you're annoying"
"Yup" Chad smiled wickedly and Gabriella punched him in the left arm gently. She didn't want to hurt him, and since she is half vampire, she has a lot of strength, she can hurt him badly.
"You are lucky that I don't use my vampire strength on you. I can do a lot of damage" Chad opened his mouth to argue, but he found that he can't, "Rach!" Gabriella ran to Rachel and punched her gently, "leave Chad alone" Rachel sighed and nodded.
"GABRIELLA!" Gabriella saw Chad, Troy and Nessie walking to her, and Chad punched Gabriella. Gabriella didn't feel anything, but she heard a crack, "OWW!" Chad jumped up and down holding his, now broken hand.
"I told you" Gabriella sighed and put him hand in place again, making him to cry, "Rachel" Rachel grinned knowing, that Gabriella wants her to use magic to help her brother, and that's what Rachel did, "thank you" Gabriella told her, when Chad stopped screaming and crying.
"Now I know not to punch you" Chad whispered.
"Hey! I told you NOT too!" Gabriella argued and hugged him gently, "I miss you"
"I miss you too" Nessie joined the hug and Gabriella looked at Troy. Troy sighed and looked at the ground.
"What's wrong Troy?" Gabriella whispered, just enough so Troy to hear
"Nothing" Troy turned to walk away, but Gabriella grabbed him gently and put him on her back. They ran outside and ran toward the dock, where the boats are.
"Now, what's wrong? No one can hear us"
"Ok, I'm just upset, that after this... war, we won't see each other again" Gabriella saw tears fill his eyes, and Gabriella pulled him into a hug then released him.
"I'm coming back with you. Mom and dad are getting me, grandma and grandpa to come back, with Zak and my friends. You know, Joe, Rachel and Brooke. We all are coming back, as everyone else is going to be free, but we all are going to stay in contact" Gabriella explained.
"So you are coming back?" Troy asked as he looked Gabriella in the eye and has a weak smile on his face. Gabriella copied him.
"Yes" Gabriella's and Troy's smiles turned into grins.
"Yes!" Troy jumped to his feet and pulled Gabriella with him. He pulled her into a hug and held her tightly. Troy kissed her cheek, "you're cold. Is that part being a vampire or are you cold, cold?"
"Vampire cold" Troy nodded
"Gabs?"
"Ya?"
"I..." before Troy could finish, someone tried to pull Gabriella and Troy apart, but Gabriella used her vampire speed and strength to get away, and run with Troy on her back. They arrived back into the 'safe house' and they saw Lucy, Jack, Zak and Gabriella's grandparents back.
"They are here early!" Gabriella whimpered as she gently placed Troy on the ground, "they are going to get used to our area" everyone looked at Gabriella and right then and there, they knew she got her powers.
"Gabs, how do you know that? They didn't say anything and we didn't see their faces" Troy pointed out.
"What? I... I, I thought they were..." Gabriella looked at her grandparents, searching for an answer.
"Gabriella, you have your powers now" Gabriella's grandma told her
"P... powers?" they both nodded, "what is it?"
"You hear their thoughts, you freeze time. You see the future, you feel emotions, you make a shield, you manipulate people's emotions and you even have self-control"
"I... I... what? How?"
"Only ONE vampire in each family has powers. Brooke has the power to see the future. You are special. It's written in the book of vampires, which a SPECIAL vampire, will save the day against the humans. That SPECIAL vampire is you. All werewolves, witches and vampires, know it's you. The originals will be after you to get you to join them, to kill you or make you their slave. But, in the book it says they will come 2 years after the war" Gabriella sighed, starting to get scared.
"Why me?"
"No one knows" Gabriella looked at Troy, to see him smiling. Gabriella smiled weakly back, and he hugged her, along with Chad, Nessie, Zak, Brooke, Joe, Rachel, Lucy, Jack and all their friends and families. Once the hug ended, everyone heard a bang come from upstairs.
"Did you lock the entrance Gabs?" Lucy asked.
"Yes mommy" Gabriella answered as Lucy picked her up and hugged her tightly.
"We will keep you safe" Gabriella nodded and hugged her back, never wanting to let go. They all know, the war will started 2 days early. And that day will be... tomorrow.
In the next chapter, the war will start. Please review
