Chapter 6

My classes passed by quickly so when the bell rang for lunch, I was surprised. I walked with Universe back to where our lockers were located. She didn't say anything, which was. I was just able to enjoy her presence. I stopped at my locker to grab my lunch while she walked to hers. I put the books that I didn't need in my locker, and took the ones I did need out. I stuffed them into my backpack before grabbing my lunch; I was so hungry.

"Hey, Vlad!" I turned to see Henry walking toward me.

"Hey man, what's up?" Henry glanced over my shoulder before he looked back at me.

"Nothing much," I raised an eyebrow.

"Really?"

"Uh, yeah. Come on, let's get to lunch, Universe and Snow are waiting," I nod before shutting my locker and following him toward the girls. They were talking quietly, and Snow looked a little freaked.

"Hey!" Henry called out, interrupting the twins' intense and quiet conversation. "You ready to eat?" Universe wrapped an arm around Snow.

"Yeah, let's go," She said with a smile, but it wasn't real. Something was wrong, and I was determined to figure it out.

For most of lunch, Snow sat quietly next who her sister and picked at her food. Universe was having a conversation with Henry and I, trying to divert attention away form her sister. I was sitting across from Universe and next to Henry; it was difficult to read Universe's facial expressions. I couldn't tell if she was upset or happy or bored. She was unreadable.

"Uh Vlad?" I blinked.

"Yeah?"

"You've been staring at my face for the past few minutes, is there any reason why?" I shook my head, trying to hold back the blush.

"No… not really. However, what happened to Snow?" Universe, Henry and surprisingly Snow all shared a look before turning back to me.

"We'll tell you later. After school most likely," Henry stated.

"Why can't you tell me now?"

"'Cuz of all the people around here," Snow answered quietly. I looked back at Universe, to see her boring holes into her sandwich with her piercing green eyes. I glanced all three of my friends. They all looked stressed.

"Okay…"

"Let me put it this way, Vlad," Universe stated. Her eyes locked with mine, "We came here for a reason."

I watched Universe pace back and forth across the living room floor. School had ended a few hours ago, so we were at the twin's house. Immediately after we got to their house, they locked every door and closed all the curtains. They didn't say anything to me as they rushed around. Henry was sitting on the couch next to me, Snow was watching her sister on the floor, and Universe was still pacing.

"Universe…?" I asked softly. She stopped her pacing before she turned her blazing green eyes on me.

"Easy, Silver. We know you're upset but don't take it out on him!" Snow exclaimed. I swallowed thickly, wondering what had gotten into the beautiful girl.

"Well, since we came here for him, we might as well tell him what's going on," Universe stated with a sigh.

"Vlad, what we are going to tell you, may be slightly hard to comprehend," She stated as she ran her hands through her hair.

"Okay, I think I can handle it," I told her. She glanced over at Snow before she looked back at me and stated firmly.

"We're vampires."

"What?" I exclaimed, jumping up off the couch.

"We're vampires, Vlad. Since the day we were born. That's why we have weird hair colors and seem to know a lot more than we should," She told me quietly. I shook my head in disbelief.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" I growled out. Tears were forming in Universe's eyes.

"We didn't think we had, not this soon."

"What do you mean? When were you planning on telling me? Three years from now, when I was dating you? When?" I yelled.

"What I mean is, that we came here to make sure that some people can't hurt you. We are here to protect you, and whenever danger came up we were going to tell you! And since Snow saw the assassin that has plotting to kill you since you were three has finally found you we got a little freaked out!" I stared at the angry girl in front of my, utterly shocked.

"Someone's been plotting to kill me since I was three?" I whispered.

"Yes, from the day you turned three, vampires have known that you were special. Your mother and father did their best to protect you, but in the end they failed. When our parents were killed we immediately moved out here to keep an eye on you, because that's our job," Snow explained. Universe guided me back toward the couch before she began to speak again.

"Your mother was my mother's best friend. They had known each other since they were children. They also had similar lives. Your mother fell in love with a vampire and had half-vampire child. My mother found out she was a descendent of this mythical kind of vampire, a type that had all the strengths of a normal vampire and none of their weaknesses. She fell in love with a vampire as well and had twins that were unlike any other vampires my parents had seen before," For some reason I felt tears forming in my eyes, and when they spilled over, I felt Universe's nimble fingers wipe them away. "We stronger than any other vampire in the world, Snow and I, which will make it impossible for any vampire to kill you. From the moment my sister and I knew what we had to do, we have sworn to be your protectors," I felt her wrap her arms around me before I buried my face in her neck, drinking in her unique and delicious scent.

"Why?" I whispered over and over again as I continued to cry into her shoulder. "Why me?"

"You are the chosen one, Vlad. It's your destiny, and my destiny is linked to yours," she told me quietly. I wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her close to me, knowing how lucky I was to have such an amazing girl like her.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this now Vlad, but you're in danger. We all are, and the only one who can really protect us all is Silver," Snow said from across the room. I gently pulled away from Universe, which she let me do.

"What do you mean Universe is the only one that can really protect us?"

"I, uh, I am the strongest vampire in the world. Stronger than Snow, who ranks above all of them as well," She said quietly. I couldn't help but shake my head in disbelief.

"How is that possible? There are only vampires and then me. How could there be a different kind of vampire that's stronger than the rest?" I looked into Universe's stunning green eyes, finding comfort in them.

"It's who I am Vlad. It was all written down thousands of years ago, about you, about me, about us. But this book was lost for centuries, until it was found the day of your birthday-"

"When I turned three," Universe nodded.

"Your mother told my mother, who told my father, who immediately began to teach us about what we could do. Though my kind haven't been seen for a millennia, there a stories and books about them," I shook my head again.

"This is all so hard to comprehend."

"I know," Universe stated with a small smile, before she leaned over and kissed my forehead. "I'll walk you home, you need your rest, and you have school tomorrow," I nodded. I could feel the energy draining slowly from my limbs as I stood up. Universe fetched my backpack, and was waiting for me at the door.

"I'll see you guys tomorrow," I told Snow and Henry before I walked out the door. Universe followed after, and fell and step beside me.

"Are vampires coming after you as well?" I asked her as we walked down the sidewalk.

"Yes and no. Yes, because some vampires want to use me as a way to make powerful children, and no because I could kill them without touching them," Her voice was thick with malice and her shoulder's were tense. She sighed before looking back at me, her green eyes glowing in the dim light of the moon. "Vlad, I will do anything to keep you safe, not just because I have to, but because I want to. You're more important to the future than I am," I stopped walking. She stopped a few paces ahead of me.

"Universe, you're important to," I stated firmly.

"Vlad," She turned around to face me, her green eyes boring into my dark ones. "I can't let you die. At all. If it means that I have to throw myself in front of you, to protect you, I will do it."

"But-"

"No buts, Vlad. I really wish that it didn't have to turn out this way but it does. You're safety is more important than mine, you're life is more important than mine. You need to understand that. It's the only way you can make it through," She gave me one last stern look before she turned back around. Not really knowing what else to do, I walked up behind her and wrapped my arms loosely around her waist and rested my chin on her shoulder.

"If I'm more important than you, and you're sworn to protect me, can you promise me something?"

"Anything."

"Promise me that no matter what happens you will never sacrifice your life for mine," I felt her tremble in my arms, before I felt her turn her head and kiss my temple.

"I promise."

"Good," I stated, before I unwound my arms from her waist. "Let's go, I'm getting cold."

"Wait," She said as her hand shot out and grabbed my arm in a tight grip. I looked back at her to see her standing as still as a statue. Her eyes were closed, but her entire body was like a tightly wounded coil that was ready to spring. The next thing I knew, her eyes flew open and she yanked me back behind her. Her right arm shot out and pierced the chest of a man. He stood there frozen in shock, and then he blew up into ash.

Universe immediately yanked me forward, and we began to sprint.

"Univ-"

"Just keep running!" She yelled. She increased her speed until she was almost pulling me. A dark shape jumped in front of her; she let go of my hand. I watched her jump into the air and smash her foot across the vampire's face, sending him flying. She grabbed my hand again, not a second later and we were off running again.

I could see my porch lights from where we were. "Just keep running Vlad! We're almost there," Snarls were echoing all around us, and Universe began to run even faster.

A few more vampires got in her away and she batted them away like flies. Her right arm was covered in icky black stuff, as well as some of her face. We were only one hundred feet from my porch when a vampire landed in front of us. I thought universe was going stop, but she continued to run and with just a flick of her hand, the vampire exploded. Some of the icky black stuff landed on me and burned through my clothes until it reached my skin. A few seconds later Universe flung me halfway up the stairs. I landed on wobbly feet. I turned around to see her standing in just behind the fence with her hands spread out in front of her. I could see she was saying something, but couldn't read her lips. As she continued… chanting, this silver… barrier began to form. It started on the ground and continued upwards. From where I was standing, it looked like it went all the way around the house. I turned back to see Universe's silver hair swirling around her. Vampires tired to attack her but were unable to do so, with the silver barrier.

She began to speak faster, and a bright white light began to form in front of her. All of the sudden her eyes flew open and she shouted something in another language, and the light shot out in front of her, into all the bloodthirsty vampires. The light became so bright that I had to shut my eyes. I heard screams of agony for a good few seconds, and then it was blissfully quiet. The light slowly dimmed, and when I was able to open my eyes, I found myself staring into the familiar depths of Universe's green orbs. The blood had disappeared from her face and arm and there were no signs that she was tired or hurt.

I watched as she slowly reached up with the hand that was once covered in that icky stuff, toward my face. I let out a deep sigh as her palm rested against my cheek. Her other hand joined the first, and she began to softly trace my features. Her touch was lite a delicate, and calmed me down. I don't how long I stood there with my eyes closed, and her fingers tracing random patterns across my cheeks and forehead. I suddenly felt her breath fan across my face and something soft and warm press against my lips. It only lasted a few seconds but my eyes flew open, wide in shock. I wanted to be mad at her for kissing me, but as I stared into her eyes, I knew I couldn't. My hands moved of their own accord to her waist as I slowly leaned forward. She closed her eyes, and when our lips touched for real, the outside world completely faded, until it was just me and her. Her lips moved softly against mine as we stood on my front porch and shared our second kiss. Her arms moved, to wrap themselves around my neck and she curled her fingers into my hair. I felt a burning sensation growing in the pit of my stomach, as I began to kiss her with more vigor, which she returned whole-heartedly. When I felt my fangs pushing through my gums I quickly pulled away from her, breathing erratically.

"Vlad…" She whispered quietly. I looked down at the ground, trying to control my hunger, my thirst for her blood. I heard her shifting her clothes, and since I was curious, I looked up, which was definitely not a good idea. She had moved her hair, so that it fell over her right shoulder, and she had pushed both her t-shirt and sweatshirt off her shoulder, fully exposing the beautiful golden skin of her neck. I couldn't stop myself from licking my lips. "Vlad," She said again, and that time I looked up at her. Her eyes met mine, and I watched as she slowly smirked.

"Bite me," She commanded, and that I did. I sunk my fangs into her neck, her blood rushed into my mouth. It was the most delicious thing I had ever tasted in my entire life. I couldn't stop myself from drinking more. She stood there, patiently waiting for me to finish. She kept running her fingers through my hair, and every once and awhile I would feel her kiss my head. A few minutes later I pulled away, after I had licked up the left over blood that didn't make it to my mouth in my little feeding frenzy.

"Better?" She asked. I nodded. She smiled before she softly took hold of my chin before she leaned forward. I was surprised to feel her tongue lick up the left over blood that had dripped down my chin. She pulled back and looked at me with an even gaze. I glanced at her neck to see where the bite marks should have been, instead my name appeared in the ancient script Otis had shown me.

"What does that symbolize?" I asked Universe, confused. She merely chuckled and pulled up her t-shirt and sweatshirt so that they once again covered her shoulder.

"That I belong to you," She stated simply. My eyes widened, which made her smile.

"No one can see it, except for vampires… it stops them from drinking my blood," She explained. I sighed in relief that Henry, or Meredith wouldn't be able to see it.

"Does that normally happen when vampires bite other vampires?"

"No, not always…" She glanced over my shoulder before softly stating I should go talk to Nellie.

"I don't want you to go…" She smiled and pecked my lips.

"I'll see you tomorrow Vlad," She walked down the steps. "Don't leave the barrier okay? Only vampires can see it to so your aunt can't see it!" I couldn't help but smile, even after everything I had been through in the past week, I still managed to get the girl of my dreams, even if it was a little sooner than expected. I turned around and saw my backpack lying against my front door. There was a note tapped on it.

'I figured you would forget about this. Sweet dreams Vlad.' I glanced up from the note and looked around, and saw no head of silver hair. I shook my head, baffled at my new girlfriends abilities. I quickly unlocked the door to find Nellie walking out of the kitchen.

"Well, your friend Universe called and said that I shouldn't be mad about you for staying out so late."

"It sort of was her fault…" Nellie smiled.

"That's exactly what she said," I couldn't help but smile. I may have lost someone I loved, but I had gained someone I could love, and who I didn't have to be afraid to love.

I do think this is my favorite chapter... :D maybe cuz Universe's and Snow's secret is revealed and then she kicks some butt...? XD

Well, I don't know when chapter 7 will be written and posted, but hopefully it will be sooner than later :D

Till next time :D
