~Chapter 8: Secrets~

Krystal P.O.V.

Zero continuously shot at John but he kept dodging him before the bullets were from a great distance. I also took note that he was moving really, really fast.

Next thing I saw was unbelievable! John was hanging from the side of the building. His feet was on the side of the building and he was standing straight up. His face looked twisted and ugly. I could tell he was looking at me as he licked his lips.

His once eyes were now red with no soul in them.

"Krystal, run as fast as you can in the opposite direction. Hurry!"

"But—"

"Go now!"

I did as told by Zero, as I was running by the police cars, I had seen Kathryn being shoved inside of one of them. I was so glad she was taken away.

What the hell is John really? He's really creepy me out now.

I rounded the corner and thought I was far enough away from the catastrophe back there. I was still recovering after all.

"Got you!" John's creepy voice said as I spun around.

He cut me a bit deep on my neck with his long finger nails.

"J-John…what a-are you?" I stuttered.

He gave me a look that was as inhuman as a zombie and cold. "I'm a vampire dear. Remember those bite marks I left on you? That was because my teeth weren't fully developed until recently."

He grabbed me by shoulders and pinned me against the wall. I was still weak from still recovering, and his nails dug into my skin.

Before he bit me, John was thrown in the ground by Zoey, she held him down as Zero came and shot him execution style.

"V-vampire's e-exist?" I said in a scared tone. I was starting to shaking a little.

Zoey nodded. She looked at Zero and gave him a knowing look. He nodded in approval for some reason.

"Krystal…you see its true that vampires do exist. There is the crazy ass Level E's like John here." She picked up the remains of him which were dust and threw them away. "Then there are the good kind like Zero and I. We hunt and kill the bad vampires and bring justice to those who were wronged."

"Wait, you two are vampires? For real?" I said with a ton of interest.

"Yes, see?" Zoey showed me her fangs and her eyes were red for a few seconds.

"Woah."

"See we are getting to know each other little by little." Zoey sent me a warm friendly smile. I returned it.

"Wait so how—" I was cut off by Doctor Hayes, my doctor coming around the corner. After taking a moment to catch his breath, he stood up straight.

"Krystal are you alright?" He asked and I nodded. "I'm very sorry about the incident earlier. But don't worry your safe now and in good hands with the Kiryu's here. Please, let's get you back to bed to rest for the night."

He had a nurse bring a wheelchair and I sat down in it as he wheeled me back into the hospital.

Later that night, Zoey and Zero came back up to visit me.

"What were you going to say earlier Krystal?" Zero asked me.

"Oh yeah!" I said as I finally remembered. "Since you guys are vampires, how come you haven't eaten or something yet?"

Zero scoffed. "Believe me; we really wanted to at first. You had so much blood that day I rescued you from the park. Hell Mother had to steer Kathryn away from her own room several times. But, we've controlled ourselves around you by eating beforehand and keeping ourselves in check."

"I see, how did you guys become rulers of the land? Did you use special vampire powers or win it fair and square?" I asked.

"We were born into the royal family. Time went on and we are the Prince and Princess now." Zoey piped in.

"What's a Level E? And how do they become like that?" I asked wanted to learn as much as I can.

"This is the last answer I will tell you tonight. Level E's are vampires who cannot control their thirst for human blood and they attack humans and kill them.

Morning came and the Doctor Hayes said I was good to go. He quickly pulled me to the side and out of earshot. He placed a hand on my shoulder. "Krystal, sorry to bring this up but when John messed with you." I shivered and he noticed. "Dear, you may be pregnant."

My eyes dilated in fear. "What! I don't want to be!" I cried.

"Don't worry, we have solutions for pregnant teens. You could have it and give it away for adoption or you could have an abortion. There is no life inside you yet, it's just cells right now. What would you like to do?" He asked as I considered my options.

"I'll do the abortion. I don't want it especially what will become of it. I'm scared Doctor Hayes." I hung my head low.

He hugged me and rubbed my back. "I know it's a scary and freaky thing but we're all here to support you Krystal. How about we do the abortion tomorrow or Monday. Any time you're ready."

"What about the costs?" I asked uncertainly.

He smiled and said, "Don't worry everything has been taken care of by the insurance company. You don't have to worry about anything. See you soon and take care!" He waved and left. I went back inside my room.

Zoey said, "Do you have anywhere to go?"

"Yes, I'll see you guys Monday!" Today was Saturday and I wanted to take time to think over a lot of things. Zero and Zoey are vampire hunters which is kinda cool. They are my only real friends in the world.

I wonder how Lisa and Erin are taking the news about Kathryn and John? Should I go back home? I didn't think so, too many horrible memories…

I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I made my way to the secret place in the woods of the park. I felt better but my stomach was beginning to hurt and bother me to an extent. School might be better now, cause I finally had people—vampires—who understood and cared about what the hell I was going through.

A small smile formed on my lips as I took a bath in the river and cleaned myself up. I still felt "dirty" down there. As I finished up, the last things I did were brush my teeth and set up my tent and stuff.

As I looked out of the small tent window and gazed at the stars, I thought of Zero and Zoey. Every time Zero crossed my mind, I would feel my cheeks get warm. I guess he was starting to grow on me.

Even though he is cold, he isn't uncaring and heartless. And Zoey is really friendly and wants to get to know you and doesn't judge. I smiled again and fell into a peaceful sleep for the first time in a long time.

I thought about how things were starting to turn around and I was finally moving forward, but I didn't know about the horrible things that were coming my way soon.
