4. JJ's secret
Vampire... I covered my mouth the sheer shock of it making me feel sick. My mind ran on Miss Cooper. I can't leave her here I thought, not with whoever is roaming around her house.
"Honey's I'm home,"
"My Love," says a voice walking so slow I began to understand how Emmett felt. He appears, and I ready myself for attack. His face was pale...white and it looked oddly flaky, well delicate. I've never seen such a face before, it looked translucent, giving me shivers down my spine, however that wasn't the only thing to, he embraced her kissing her on the lips, making me reach out, only to withdraw stung by the scene.
A vampire and a human.
Only she was 54 and he looked late 20's early 30's. She cleared her throat to calm him down...this is too much I got to leave or something.
"Ilina this is my husband Nicholas." He gently nods in my direction. "This is Ilina," I couldn't react my body was rigid, stiff to the bone, solid to the brim. How could she, sheof all people live so casually with such...what was I to say? A monster? Half of what I am? What my family are...? Or is it resentment brought on by the tragic-ness of my reality. Or...or something else?
"She's just shy."
"You're not human?" I'm surprised to hear that not from Nicholas but from a boy around my age. He looked on from the stairs behind Nicholas his skin tone was slightly olive, with blond hair dangling from his forehead.
"I thought the same thing son," Son? Son? Could it be, but he smells so human and he has...only a slightly erratic heartbeat.
"I think I'm rather confused..." was all I could manage.
"Come sit down why don't you, we'll explain mother must really trust you otherwise you wouldn't be here." says the boy
"Bro! I'm gunna kick your vamp ass in PS3 you won't beat my skills you-" He cuts himself off as soon as he catches sight of me. "Mum I'm sorry...I didn't..."He panics.
"Its ok bro she's part vampire...look," He comes up to me and places his brothers' hand onto my chest.
JJ's eyes open wide then his faces relaxes.
"Phew...for a minute there I thought I blew it!" Mrs Peters chuckles lightly. "Well," she sighed. "I didn't know you weren't human." Instantly my rebuttal kicked in, although I knew it was already too late.
"I am human!" I stated quickly. The blonde boy approaches me until his faces inches away from mine. I could see his utter beauty, I have long gotten used to the beauty of the vampires I know but his stood out to me. His golden syrup hair dangled on his forehead. His face was beautiful probably the most human-like beauty I've ever seen, his skin was smooth and I was right slightly olive, my vision rose to his eyes they were crimson red, deathly red, blood red. I almost hauled.
"Yes, you are human...but how much of you exactly?" My breathing quickened, making it ever so hard to stay focused. He breathed his sickly sweet breath into my face, intoxicating me.
"N...none of your business!" His angelical face sours a bit.
"I told you...you can't play with every girls heart like that, some are immune to your inhumanly charm," JJ muses. The blond boy turns to his brother confrontationally.
"Immune...that would really be impossible. Plus I wasn't in the zone yet!" he said walking into what I assumed to be the living room.
"Yeah, sure!" JJ laughs behind him. "I bet this is the closest to human you've ever been! It's a fact of life, rejection you know!" He laughs in the distance. Nicholas chuckled lightly holding his head in his hands shaking it side to side. Obviously a gesture of shame.
"Please excuse my sons, they have no manners and are pretty shallow minded."
"I wonder whom they get that from," Miss Peters accuses. "H...how much human are you hunny?" she asks her puppy dog eyes beckoning to me.
"I'm half...I'm a half breed." Her face changes.
"Il...I know...Ilina... I was wondering if you could tell me about your past...I want to understand you if I can...you bear it all alone...it's painful to see."
This pricked tears in my eyes. She's so wonderful.
"Well," I sigh, the memories resurfacing strangling my other thoughts. "I warn you it's no fairytale,"
"I will listen regardless." She discreetly directed me to the kitchen by the small of my back. I sat fluidly onto a seat and began instantly as the memories were waiting to burst. I explained my devastating first day of life. It was crushing her, I could tell but I couldn't stop now that I'd started I had to release it all. Her sons had become intrigued and were listening behind me by the door.
"My father came for me, taking me away from my mother's ...body, which I was clinging to... I'd stayed there until she'd had her last breath and then some... father then told me 'it was for the best.' He told me 'i'll be with you until you look like a toddler and then you shall live with humans, however you must only stay with a household one week at a time, otherwise they will notice your exceeding growth patterns.
Father was harsh with his training, he would leave me alone, leaving me to fend for myself. He'd leave me in streets, deserts, forests alone with nothing, but my own initiative. He claimed to however 'never be too far away' Maybe he wasn't, maybe he was... I still felt as lonely...then the day came he told me to be strong and that tears will stop soon. He said 'know this...you must never trust human or vampires alike. He said neither could truly understand me," I sighed deeply. My soul lightened to what comes next. "Then I met the Cullen's...and I knew I could trust humans and vampires, because of their love I've noticed, I needed that aspect to my life." I concluded. "I'm happy now,"
"Oh dear!" she embraces me. "You've been through a lot!" she cried.
"I've grown from it, I don't regret my history it made me, me." Her husband cleared his throat.
"Oh I'm sorry I always have to remind myself that I shouldn't throw myself at you guys... I don't know what state you are in...Are...are you thirsty honey?"
"Some apple juice should be fine for that," They all laughed I looked doubtfully at all of them, summing up their sanity.
"Ilina, she means," he crouches next to me. "Would you like some blood...to drink?" says the blonde boy.
"Nathaniel needn't be so blunt!" she scolds him. I can't believe he drinks it. He drinks blood!
"No I don't drink that," I said as bluntly as him. He pulled away from me aghast.
"Ho...H...How do you survive?" He questions my existence quite rudely.
"Since I was a baby I refused blood, so father taught me how to live off human food, since I care so little for blood." He takes my hand and compares it to his own. He felt his heart then my pulse. Then he smelt himself, and then instantaneously smells my neck, his eyes closed exhaling deeply. I was as frozen as the first time he took my hand, I couldn't react it's like my body had just shutdown.
"Nathaniel! Don't be so rude! If you are thirsty, go and drink!" His father ordered.
"Who says I'm thirsty?" He said retreating keeping my eyes locked in his. "She just smells so good!" he chuckles musically. His dad's smile was apologetic. He continues to help cook.
"You've given me a lot to think about..."
"She has?" His father enquired.
"Yes, think about it she's a half breed and she lives fine off of human food I'm a quarter and I could to. I don't have to be like this I can be someone... better. That's the most sincere I've ever seen him...
"You want to give opp ze bluudd?" says JJ doing a really bad Dracula impression.
"Of course I don't wanna be a m...like that if I have another choice." I could see the pain gathering in his fathers eyes.
Silence gathered in the kitchen, the sizzling in the pan kept it from being awkward.
"Maybe Ilina could teach you?" His father said surprising me by breaking the silence with such a sentence. Sentencing me to more time with them, with vampires, with Nathaniel, with death.
All eyes were focused on me.
"Ilina, I know you feel slightly uneasy...and I know this is such a lot to ask but this will help him, be better than what you already think of him."
"Can I think about it?" I asked. Nathaniel huffed, rolled his blood red eyes, and then left gracefully through the door.
"Why of course Ilina, take as much time as you need."
Will my life ever stop changing direction?
