Paul POV.
"Happy Birthday grandpa." My best friend Jacob said while he slapped me on the back.
"Yeah, very funny man."
"Yeah how old are you now? 140 or something?"
"Shut up man." I said while I tried to slap him over the head.
"Calm down Paul he's just trying to get to you." said Sam while he walked into the house, "I mean it's not everyday a man turns 145." He said through a fit of laughter.
"Yeah your one to talk seeing as your what… 165?" I replied back.
"Quit being a smart ass." He said while he smacked my head from behind.
"Yes dad."
"Dam right I'm your dad seeing as I raised for the past something years." I just rolled my eyes cause he just loved bringing things like this up expically when I was a kid. Which was a good many years ago. However seeing as I'm a werewolf, I don't age. Unless I decided to stop.
"Yo gramps, here's your birthday gift." Said Seth with a huge grin on his face.
"How many times do I have to tell you people not to get me anything?"
"Suck it up." Said my girlfriend soon to be fiancé Rachel.
"Fine." I said throwing my hands up in defeat.
"Don't worry, we all chipped in for this one." Rachel said while she wrapped her arms around me.
I unwrapped the gift that Seth handed me not at all that excited, but keeping a smile on my face nonetheless. When I finished unwrapping it, I wasn't sure whether I should laugh or be pist off as hell. In side the wrapping paper was a wooden cane with an engraving that said 'Happy Birthday Grandpa'.
"Yeah very cute guys. You guys are hilarious." I said with a role of my eyes.
"Opened your present grandpa?" said Jared as he walked into the house.
"Yep." Answered Jacob.
"Why do you guys call me grandpa when Sam's older?"
"Cause it bugs you." Replied Seth.
"Right. Well I'm go-"
"Outside." Seth finished for me
"Yeah. I'll be back." Just like that I walked outside and left everybody else the way I always do for my birthday.
I stopped looking forward to my birthday years ago. I think the last birthday, I actually had that I was looking forward to was my 10th, and for what it wasn't even that great. Yet I can't bring myself to be mad about it the way I get mad at everything else. I hadn't realized it but I subconsciously grabbed at my necklace that was a gift from my mother, for my 9th birthday.
Flashback
Yes I finally get to meet my mother! Anya Sais that she's very nice and sweet and that I will love her. Doesn't she realize that I already love her? I mean she's my mom. Besides she's always sending me letters and gifts so I pretty much already know her. Last year for my birthday she had gotten me a dream catcher necklace. At first I thought it was really girly. I still do though, but my mom sent a note saying she had the same one and that it will keep us close until we saw each other on my tenth birthday.
Which is today! I'm so excited. I know she also got it cause I told her about all the bad dreams that I had been having. She said it should protect me from them. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Normally in wouldn't bother in this kind of stuff, but when your "aunt" is a fortuneteller and your mom's a vampire… well you tend to believe in things like this.
Most kids my age would hate their parents for abandon them, but not me. I actually understand why she's not here. Aunt Anya Sais that it's hard for my mom to be a round humans but she's trying so she can take me to live with her.
When she gets here I'm going to show her my horse shadow. Shadows a good girl I've had her since I was younger.
While I was brushing shadow I herd a woman's high pitch scream. I instantly recognized it as Anya's. I ran out the barn and ran to the house. I stopped in the middle of my track and looked at what stood before me. My house was burning to the ground and it was engulfed in flames. The screams grew louder. I ran to get to the house, but a cold and hard force that knocked me to the ground immediately stopped me.
When I looked up I wanted to scream. In front of me was the man that has hunted me in my dreams for the past few years. His ruby red eyes bored into mine, like he could see right through me. I grabbed a rock that was laying next me and through at him. I got up and started running to the house. I managed to get inside the house without getting burned until I saw Anya berried underneath burning wood.
"Anya!" I screamed while I made my way toward her.
"Anya!" I screamed again while I felt the burning flames burn my skin.
I was almost next her until the red eyed man yanked me from behind.
"What did you do!" I screamed at him.
"What had to be done!"
He did this. He did this to my aunt, to my house, to my family, to us. I felt so much anger course through my veins. He murdered he! Him! It was all him! Wasn't it bad enough I had nightmares about him, now he had to come and cause them to came true!
One moment I was standing on two legs then the next I was standing on four. I started growling at him and I crouched down low ready to attack. He did the same and bared his teeth at me.
"You are to leave and never return here! I'll let you live as long as you go! You are to never see your mother! Do I make myself clear!"
What! First he takes away my aunt, then my home, now my mother! Hell no!
I just snapped and lunged at him. Just when I almost had his neck in my mouth, he swung his arm and through me half way across the room causing me to hit one of the burning walls, hard. I landed on the floor with a thud and howled in pain.
"As far as I know, you died in the fire with her. That's all anyone will ever know. The Austen twins killed you. No one saw you. Now either you die here, or you run. Either way, if I see you again…. Your dead."
Then he vanished, I howled out in pain again hopping that someone will come and save me. As if on cue, a huge black wolf came and busted in through the door. When he spotted me, he came toward me and helped me get out of the house. When we finally got out, the last thing I saw was a woman screaming my name and trying to run out the house, but were being held back by two other people.
They smelled sickly sweet, except for the woman. The woman was tan with black straight hair dark eyes and tall. I couldn't see or here much other then the woman's screaming and shouts as she fell to her knees.
"Why...why...my son. My son! Why!" She wailed, and that was the last thing I herd before everything went black.
End of flashback
After that Sam took me in. Sam and Rachel are the only ones who know about my vampire mother. I told Sam my theory about that woman being my mother, but he said he wasn't sure. I just think he doesn't like the idea of my mom being a vampire. If she was, I wonder how she would react to her son being a werewolf. Better yet her son being alive. The sad thing is, she never got to meet me before I "died". In truth I don't know if she's alive. Sure she's a vampire and all, but for all I know another vampire could have killed her, or worse another pack could have killed her.
Rachel's arms wrapping around my waist broke my train of thought. She kissed my back and mumbled into my back, "Thinking about her again?"
"Yeah."
"You want to talk about it?"
"No… I was just thinking about that night that I thought I saw her."
"Do you really think it was her?"
"I don't know."
"Do you think she would have liked me?"
I found myself chuckling at that thought. She wouldn't be scared of the fact that my mother is a vampire that could kill her. No she was scared if she would like her or not. I grabbed her and turned my body around so I was facing her. I placed a kiss on her forehead, then her eyes, her nose, and then I pecked her lips.
"Of course she would." Rachel looked up and smiled at me, and I smiled back before I gave her a long passionate kiss. Who knows, maybe this year's birthday wont is so bad after all.
A.N. Ok, hopefully you understand part of what was going on. If you have any questions feel free to ask. In the next chapter Leah and Sam meet so if that's what you're waiting for you only have to wait a little more.
