Chapter 2 …..School
My first day of school was horrible and uncomfortable the humans just stared at me like I had a third head. They whisper very mean stuff about me and they don't know I can hear them. Most of the students looked like my sisters dark skinned I was one of the only white students in class. Good thing I didn't go to early to class that would have been difficult or more difficult.
My first Class is English. I got my text book yesterday so I read a lot of it to pass the loneliness. When I got to class there was another white female student sitting in a seat. To say I was a little excited is an understatement. Next to her was an open seat. She has long reddish brown hair with a little curl to it she also has the prettiest green eyes I have ever seen.
I asked her "Is this seat open?"
She giggled and said "Yeah want to sit by me that way I don't feel so out of place I'm Elizabeth Rose Mason, My parents are doctors and are working at the missionary up the road, and they say I need to have a proper education" she sighed and continued I tried to argue but they wouldn't have it."
I smiled I really liked her she was so honest and she could talk. "My Name is Sarah Rose Forest." I laughed because my dad wouldn't allow me to have his last name and I didn't know my mothers so I picked something generic. Then we played 20 questions till the teacher called class to attention. We also compared schedules we had every other class together. So we wouldn't have to be apart. I enjoyed her company immensely the months went on and we were pretty much inseparable my dad didn't care as long as I wasn't around him bothering him. I wrote Nephel often telling him about Sarah and asking him when I get to see him I also told him he could come to the school to see me. He wrote me back once a month and sent it to the schools so he knew I'd get it. I always laughed at his notes.
I eventually told Sarah about Nephel and my dad and how he don't want me around any more. She asked me to explain it better to her. I told her dad isn't very nice to him and me now. I couldn't tell her dad was mad at me because I refused to feed on humans any more she is my best friend and I didn't want any problems with her if dad knew he could hurt her very easily. I always keep her secrets so I will tell her soon.
Im just a little scared. But the months go on quite quickly Lizzie is so excited it is almost Christmas. Our first conversation on Christmas was funny she explained to me about everything about Christmas and the gift giving her parents even asked me to stay over on Christmas day. We both knew dad wouldn't care he actually yelled at me to leave him alone and called me a stupid girl. He told me that he was going hunting soon and he was leaving the forest and going away for a week or two so stay there your sisters are coming as well.
I was excited I went to talk to Lizzie so I could get permission from her mom and dad to stay the couple of weeks. Of course they said that they would be happy to have me. They wanted to talk to my dad but I told them that he already left and I'd be staying at my house alone. I think they were both horrified that my dad would do that but I assured them I was ok to stay alone and it was important business that they needed to do. I thought yeah if they don't they will suck everyone in the neighborhood dry. I stayed there for months instead of weeks. I went home after the two weeks Lizzie came with me and no one was there so we went back to her house after the next week we left a note letting them know I'd be home in one month. The month went by and still nothing.
We have been going to school and going home doing homework it was always easy for me. It was a little harder for Lizzie but it only took her about an extra 15 minutesthen me so we didn't have any trouble. I started calling Lizzie's parents mom and dad I feel a connection with them just like I do with Nephel I wrote Nephel and told him about our father leaving me he wrote me
Sweet Pea,
Are you ok still? I can come and stay with you for a while till he
comes home, but I will not stay and watch him treat people like
that. I am so sorry he has wronged you again. Trust me he will
keep doing it so all I can say is protect yourself sissy. I will be
there to help you if you need me.
Your loving Bro
Nephel
I wrote him back and told him everything about my new family the Masons and that they love me too and that I'm staying there and not to worry so much and that I love him too I also told him that I'm telling Lizzie about us being half vampires.
I am going to tell Lizzie tonight I am so scared I have been living with them for 6 months and I'm sure she has noticed things about me even if she hasn't said anything. I waited till night fall when we went to bed. I started out
"Lizzie I need to tell you some stuff" she giggled and said "sure"
I continued "Ok promise you wont get scared" she said "Ok but you are scaring me by just starting like that" I said here it is please don't tell mom Iamhalfvampireandhalfhuman I said it so fast she didn't catch it. She even told me "slow down Rosie it don't matter to me you are my sister forever."
So I told her "I am half vampire and half human" along with everything else like my midnight hunts of animals every week, I also told her of the real reason Nephel hates him. And the way my father views humans as useless livestock and that was the real reason my mother died. At first I didn't think she believed me but I did some demonstrations and she thought it was so cool. We keep going to school months went by and we were really happy but as it always goes happiness for me can only last so long school was to be done tomorrow Lizzie and I got the highest grade in our class. We were going to have a party because it was only a half day and the last day. I have been at my Mason's home for a little over 7 months now.
Lizzie and I were walking home and I caught out of the corner of my eye movement so fast that I knew she didn't see it. I hisses so low that who ever it was would go away and Lizzie wouldn't hear it. Then I heard My father say just as low come home tonight we need to talk….
This cant be good at all….
