Join us, he had said. Was he crazy? Did they actually think that I was going to join the vampaneze. I shuddered at the thought of it. They were daft to think that I would actually say yes. I wasn't about to betray the vampires. That wasn't like me.
"No way." I said to them. "I'm helping the vampires." That angered them. One of them looked at the other, and they pushed me up against a tree. It hurt my back, I thought it was broken for awhile, until I realized I was half vampire.
"You're really going to be that stupid?" One of them said. "Then the world is going to die." He said. "You're worthless." He slapped me in the face and called to the other one. "John, show her how we treat idiots."
"John." I learned would be the scariest man, I would ever meet. Maybe even scarier than Mr. Tiny or Gannen. Once he looked into my eyes, I knew he wasn't a normal vampaneze. When I looked into his eyes, I seen all the people he had killed. I saw a man that he threw in front of a train, someone that he strangled with his bare hands, and someone that he stabbed over and over, missing vital organs, to make the pain last. I saw many others that I cannot describe. If you would have been there, anyone would have seemed nicer.
When I snapped out of his trance, I almost had a heart attack. I was as still as a statue. John and the other vampaneze laughed at me. It had freaked me out.
"You have six weeks. Only six, not a day more to decide what you want to do." John said. "Or else I'm coming for you." He looked at me cruelly. "Tell no one of this visit, or the snake boy you care for, will be my lunch." I froze. "We've been watching you awhile." He called over his shoulder as they ran out into the woods. "And will continue."
I walked back to the camp as silent as a morgue. This wasn't good….
"Hiya Emma!" Evra called from the other side of the camp. I turned to him slowly, scared that he was going to be hurt. I couldn't think straight, I kept imaging, everyone dying. John, had freaked me out. What was wrong with him? What was he exactly? He wasn't a normal vampaneze I knew that much.
"Hey." I finally greeted Evra. He looked a little sad, as he gave me a hug.
"You okay?" He asked me. I nodded. "You sure?" I nodded again.
"I'm fine. Let's do something, I'm really bored." I gave him a small smile, and he returned it. We went out for Chinese food. I kept trying to have a good time, and live in the present, but something else was really bothering me. John made a memory come alive, but at the same time it was still fuzzy. It had to be something important.
And there was an even bigger problem, I couldn't read minds! I had not noticed, it had been at least a month since I had read anyone's mind. I started to freak out, that had been something I was born with, and to lose it now would be horrible.
"What do you mean?" Evra asked when I told him I couldn't read minds.
"I can't read minds. It's not because I'm a vampire either. I noticed that I haven't been doing it for awhile." I explained to him.
Evra was silent. "Maybe you weren't supposed to have it your whole life" He said quietly. I was so upset. I needed that power.
"Don't worry about it Emma. You're fine." Evra said with a small smile. I tried to return it, but I didn't do so well.
"It's not fine." I said. "I'm going to die without that power." He frowned.
"Well don't listen to me then." He said.
"You don't understand, you're not a vampire." He snorted.
"I don't have to understand, I'm a snake boy." He said. "I've lived my whole life with everyone hating me." I stood up.
"At least, you aren't hunted down." Evra said. "If you are going to act like this, I don't think we should go out!" I stood still.
"You don't mean that."
He nodded. "I mean it. I'm tired of you!" He yelled and stomped out of the Top Wok Chinese Food Joint. I shook. How could I lose someone so quickly. I was a failure.
"No, you aren't." Someone said. I turned around and Mr. Tall was sitting in the place where Evra was. "You are very special." I looked at Mr. Tall in a curious way.
"What makes you think that?" I snapped.
"Destiny told me that. Do you remember all those visions you used to get?" He asked me picking up a dumpling. I nodded. "Those weren't real. Well in a way they are. It shows you what could happen." He sighed. "One part isn't true. You aren't a mind reader anymore."
"How?" I asked highly upset.
"I'm not allowed to interfere." I picked up my drink, and threw it.
"Then why the hell, am I supposed to love you?" I asked him. "It's not fair!" I yelled. "I want a life that is mine!" I pointed a finger at him. "Why, did you come to my town!"
"Because fate led us there." He said. "and fate led us to this very situation." I mumbled something under my breath, and he said. "Nothing can change now. You set a chain of events into action."
"So you're saying that the world is going to end either way?" He shook his head.
"I cannot say." He said. "It is not up to me." Mr. Tall actually looked worried. He cared for me, but he didn't know what to think of me I could tell.
"What can you tell me?" I asked.
"When the girl with four names is born. She has four choices, but by the time she turns 15, there will only be two chances left." With that he kissed my hand, and disappeared into a flash.
"Only six weeks, not a day more."
Well that's part three of confusion. Confession is next I'm seriously thinking of rewriting the beginning of this story, give me your thoughts. I feel like no one wants to read it because of the beginning. Well, that being said Please read and review.
