The Next Morning...
I sat on the small wall and leaned agains't the black fence, I was waiting for Tom to show and I was becoming more and more nervous about my decision, if the vamps found out I was doing this they would punish me again like when I tried to run away, or they would do worse and throw me into the cage on the next full moon
"Melanie" I looked up from the ground and sighed slightly relieved at the sight of Tom "Hey" I sighed, he nodded "How did your monthly gift go?" I asked tilting my head "Painfull as usual. Is dad alright?" he asked worriedly, I smiled reasuringly "Your dad's fine. C'mon" I said nudging my head, I started to walk and he followed
"So how did you get turned?" he asked curiously, I chuckled at the memory "It wasn't that long ago. 'Bout a year, boyfriend gone wrong I s'pose" I replied shrugging, he nodded "He dead?" he asked, I shook my head "Nope, the twat left me with a gang of vamps cuz I dumped him" I said "That's rough" he commented, I nodded "Yeah well I'm glad he's gone. Anyway I need to ask yah a favour" I admitted pausing to face him
"What?" he asked skeptically "If I help you get your dad out you have to promise me that you won't stake me afterwards. You can stake any of the others but please don't hurt me" I begged, his face turned to a look of relief "Yeah sure, I promise I won't hurt yah and neither will dad" he said, I nodded satisfied with his answer and we walked on.
As we were walking up the bridge I looked up and my eyes widened, I hadn't seen him in 3 years since everyone told me he was dead, but there he was unlocking the door to some house with a pretty blonde girl behind him, they both looked relieved and I couldn't stop watching them
"Melanie" Tom said clicking his fingers in front of my face, I shook my head quickly "You alright?" he asked, I nodded "Yeah I'm fine just thought I knew them. Let's go" I sighed walking faster, I knew as soon as I helped Tom I was coming back to this house, and then some serious interogation was going to happen.
At The Warehouse...
I walked into the cage room and found Vincent sat on the crates while Tom's dad, now human, was pulling on his pants "...I told you my name because I want it to be the last thing you ever hear" Tom's dad said, Vincent laughed and Tom snuk his way over before shoving the stake through his chest,
Tom grabbed the keys and unlocked the door while Vincent slowly turned to ash "How did you know I was here?" Tom's dad asked as he got out of the cage "Melanie showed me" Tom said motioning to me, I was stood behind Vincent's ashes feeling rather happy about his death, maybe now I could get out
"She's a vampire" his dad replied slightly disgusted "That wants to get out" I said looking up at them, he nodded "You remember your promise?" I asked hopefully, Tom nodded "Yeah. Thanks for helping me" he said, I smiled a little "Just cuz I'm a vampire doesn't mean I'm evil. Keep that in mind" I said before leaving the warehouse.
I was on the bridge wall watching the house I saw my brother go into, he had dissapeared 3 years ago and everyone now presumed he was dead, mum and dad were devistated and god knows what happened to them when I had to leave, I slowly walked towards the house feeling more nervous with each step, what if he didn't want anyone to find him? There must have been a reason he let everyone carry on thinking he was dead.
I lightly knocked on the door and crossed my arms out of nervousness, someone soon opened the door and I was left facing some guy with dark hair and dakr clothes "Can I help you?" he asked confused, I nodded "Is George there?" I asked hopefully, he nodded "Yeah. C'mon in" he said holding the door open, I walked through and followed him into the living room, it had a bar with different alcahols on the shelf and the one wall was a picture of a beach somewhere
"George there's someone here to see you" the guy said as we walked in, I noticed 2 other people in the room with my brother, one was the blonde girl he was with earlier and the other was a girl with dark brown curly hair "Oh my god" George said with wide eyes, I waved a little "Hello big brother" I said "How did you find me?" he asked still shocked, I shrugged
"I spotted you earlier with your friend coming in here, so I thought I'd come and see just why my big brother has been classed as 'Dead' for about 3 years" I said slightly snappish "Mel you don't understand I had to go" he said standing from the chair, I shook my head "Wait a minute George" his male friend said giving me a small glare, he walked forward and sniffed my neck and seemed to jump back
"What?" I asked nervously "Mitchell what?" George asked glancing from him to me "She's a vampire" he finally said, I sighed and George finally turned back to me "You're a vampire?" he asked, I nodded "How? When?" he asked "Ex boyfriend. And about a year ago. I've been stuck living with a gang of vampires that hold cage fights for the past year, they wouldn't let me leave" I replied quietly
"How did you get out?" the brown haired girl asked curiously "Someone staked the guy in charge so I ran, I remembered seeing you here so I thought I'd see why my big brother never came home" I said looking at George "Do you drink blood?" the guy who I now guessed was called Mitchell asked "Sort of. If I can find a hobo somewhere then I'll drink him. But if I can't then I drink animals, not as good but it keeps me from going nuts" I explained
"So d'you know what I am?" George asked slightly nervous, I shook my head but suddenly it hit me, the weird vibe I was getting from my brother "Werewolf" I sighed "Yeah and so is Nina" he said motioning to the blonde girl on the sofa "And are you something supernatural?" I asked looking at the brown haired girl "My names Annie and yeah I am a ghost" she said slowly, I nodded
"O..kay this day just got really weird" I said toying with my bracelet again "I'm sorry I left but can you imagine what would have happened every full moon? I couldn't be around you guys when I was that dangerous you have to understand" he begged putting his hands on my shoulders "I believe you. But only cuz I left home too when I got turned, I get how you felt" I reasured,
he nodded "So where do you live now?" he asked "Nowhere, I used to live in this warehouse but I kind of ran away. Don't worry though I'll find somewhere soon" I said shrugging, he glanced at each of them for a moment "You could move in with us, this place used to be a B&B so we got a few rooms" he offered "I don't know" I said hesitatingly "Look you're my little sister and you need my help. You're staying here" he said firmly,
he hugged me and I smiled while hugging him back "Are you sure I mean you really wanna live with two vampires?" I asked motioning to Mitchell aswell "Yes. You're moving in. Annie could you help get one of the beds ready?" George asked looking at his ghost friend, she nodded and stood from her chair
"Follow me" she said slightly excited, I nodded and turned to George for a moment "Thanks for this" I said, he nodded and I followed Annie up the stairs.
