CHAPTER 11

When I got there, it still looked the same as last night. I mean, I was standing in front of the house and I didn't know where the breeze came from even though the sea was a bit further away from the house but it passed through me and made me shiver.

"Why do you do this to me?", I muttered.

I didn't realize it till then that somebody had heard me and said. "Who are you talking to?". I turned around, surprised that somebody had heard me and seen me in front of the house. A girl.

"Oh um, I didn't realize I was thinking out loud", I replied, laughing nervously.

"Okaaay", she said, slowly.

She was wearing all black with some parts purple. I guess she's a punk rock girl or something, though I wouldn't really say that to her. But she had the black hair, black lipstick, black finger nails, black boots and eyeliner look, altogether. How could she even wear that on a sunny day, especially in California?

"Well anyways", she said and I think she was about to continue walking.

"Uh wait", I said, feeling lame. "What's your name?". I thought I'd make some friends here if I was going to stay here over my summer vacation.

"Err… Layna", she replied, I could tell that she was thinking I'm weird. I couldn't blame her.

"Nice name", I said with a crooked smile. A girl dressed in black and purple that goes by the name of, Layna. Now that was something. "My name is Cassie". I didn't bother telling her my full name because then I'd feel even more lame than I already am.

"Um okay", she nodded. "I've gotta go".

"Oh okay, see ya", I smiled. "Nice meeting you, Layna".

"Yeah, you too", she replied. As she walked off I sighed and shook my head. I just get weirder and weirder.

I headed straight towards the back of the house before anyone could see that I was standing in front of the house thinking how weird I am. I hesitated before opening the door, I looked around and yes, the sun was still out and I could feel it's warmth on my shoulders.

I opened the door and walked in slowly and cautiously. I didn't want to be a bigger wuss than I was last night. Everything inside the house seemed to have lightened up, well, okay, only a bit. A bit enough to see more clearly inside. I closed the door instead of jumping out of my skin when it closes by itself. I looked at it and I thought about that something that went through the door I was closing.

As I turned around, I heard someone say, "Oh my". I gasped and my heart was pounding so hard, I thought it would jump out of my chest. "What do we have here?". When I turned around, my eyes widened by the person who was in front of me.

He looked so handsome and perfect, just like Christian. His hair was combed neatly to one side, it was like he was a pretty boy. He wore tight blue jeans and what seemed like a black tuxedo that was buttoned up but with no shirt to cover his muscular chest.

"Is there something I can do for you?", he asked with a grin, whispering in my ear. "You seem a bit… lost yet you smell, delicious". Oh great, another one who is trying too hard. But the way he looked made it look like he was an underwear model, I'd say way better than Ethan. Troy, to say the least, would get jealous.

"Um, no thanks", I replied, nervously. "I was just…".

"Looks like we have company", he sighed and rubbed his cheek against mine and pulled away when I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.

I couldn't even stop my heart from pounding so much, I was beginning to think I was getting a heart attack or something but when I was glancing at who was coming downstairs, I fainted.

Okay, don't even get me started. I know I must be the most useless mediator on earth to have fainting problems. But it only happens when I get really scared or my heart starts pounding so fast, I begin to think I'm hallucinating, like with what just happened.

I started having flash visions in my head which made me wake up with a jolt. I felt my head and I moaned by the headache that was about to come.

"You should get some rest", a voice said from out of the shadows. "You gave me a fright".

I looked to see who it was and it was… Christian.

"I gave you a fright?", I asked, looking really confused. "Christian… what is going on here?".

I realized I was sitting on the torn bed, strangely enough, it felt comfy. I could see the sun still out which sort of calmed me down. I looked back at Christian and even though he was looking really good he was really starting to scare me, a little.

"Cassandra", he finally said, sitting on the bed, staring at me. "I can't tell you unless you tell me what you were doing here last night and the night before". I couldn't believe that he just said that. "I told you to be careful".

"What?", I scoffed. "Christian, how could I know that whatever it was, was going to be here last night? When all you did was tell me to be careful, what is up with that?". I was beginning to shout at him when I heard a voice from downstairs.

"Silence in the courtroom, please!", the guy said.

"Wh-who is that?", I stammered to ask.

"That's my eldest brother", Christian replied, calmly. "Vincent".

"Vincent?', I echoed in response.

"At your service, m'lady". Out of no where Vincent showed up beside me.

"Vincent, stop playing around", Christian said, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Can't I at least get to play with her?", Vincent asked shyly rubbing his cheeks against mine.

"Oh my God", I gasped. "Can someone please tell me what is going on here?".

"Before you get some weird thoughts about Vincent", Christian said, glancing annoyingly at Vincent and back at me. "He's gay".

"Pfft, what?!", I said in shock. I mean, I didn't realize how shocked I was when I said it out loud. "Oh God, I'm so pathetic". I rubbed my head as I muttered to myself if I'm hallucinating and that it's one big weird dream.

"Sorry dearie", Vincent whispered in my ear. "'Tis the way it is, though of course your thoughts are very kinky".

"I was not-!", I began to protest hotly when I quickly calmed down. "Okay, this is driving me insane". I looked up at Christian who was staring at me all this time. "Tell me what is going on and why are you guy's here?".

"Isn't that obvious?", Vincent asked, appearing next to his brother. "We're monsters". I looked at them like they were crazy when actually, I should've been the one that looked crazy.

Christian sighed and said, "In other words… we're vampires".
