Chapter 17
Confessions (Part 3)
"I'm a vampire." He says and the blonde girl's eyes open showing how shock she is.
"Dylan stop playing with me tell me what is it." Quinn says but when her boyfriend look at her turns to shock. "It is not possible." She says almost as a whisper.
He doesn't answer he just tries to gives her time to absolve everything.
"Are you going to hurt me?" She asks still murmuring.
"No Quinn, I am not going to hurt you. When I told you that I love you I mean it." She looks into his eyes and believes in it.
"Tell me." She says to him after a couple of seconds and now with her normal voice.
"What do you want to know?"
"Everything." She says to him.
"I was born in German in 1677 and I turned in 1702." He says and Quinn just nods for him to keep talking. "My father was a powerful man. I had a younger brother, he was 3 years younger and a baby sister who was 7 years younger. My mother died having birth to her. I had been married for two years before I turned and I never saw any one of them again."
"Did you love her, your wife?" Quinn asks not facing his eyes.
"No." He simple answers and Quinn looks at him strangely. "It was a forced marriage all about financial and proprieties, most marriages for the social class I was where a deal not about love. I cared for her, like a friend or even a sister, but I never feel for her."
"How turn you?"
"A year after I got married I met a beautiful woman and I was charmed with her for the moment I saw her. She was new to town and we frequented the same parties."
"So you too had an affair." Quinn concludes.
"True, but I wasn't that man, so I told my wife, Elizabeth, about her. She told me that she knew, in our society it is normal for husbands to have affair."
"How could she accept it?" Quinn asks incredulous.
"Because she was also in love with someone, he work in our farm, I can't remember his name, so I did everything to help her with his love, he moved to our house and Katherine moved too."
"Then you found out."
"Yes then I found out but I was so in love with her that I didn't even run. I wanted her to turn me and 2 months after she turned me… I faked my death and left everything to my wife then we left German."
"Then something happen right?" Quinn asks being 100% into the song.
"She left one night, 15 years after and I never came cross her again. Then I met Ryan."
"Ryan, my teacher?"
"Yes. Katherine pissed off the most powerful vampire in the world and she was in the run. Ryan let me go alive because he realize I didn't knew anything and for the first time in more than a decade, I went back home."
"And what did you find?"
"Elizabeth was happy and married with the man she loved. They had 4 kids, 1 girl and 3 boy and they were happy. My sister was married and had 2 boys and was waiting for another. And my brother became a priest."
"Did you talk to them?"
"No. They were happy so I left and travel to the world."
"Did you love again?"
"Not until now." He truly answers.
"What about the other things like blood and sun?"
"We drink for blood bags and something we go hunt animals. The boys sometimes go out, you know party, and they feed on girls, but they don't kill her or make it painful. About the sun, see this blue stone. It's called Lapis Lazuli and it enchanted, it allowed me to walk in the sun."
"What if you don't have the anklet?"
"I burn."
"So no sparkles?"
"No sparkles." He says and for the first time since Dylan told her about being a vampire they both smiles. "We can also eat garlic and crucifixes aren't a problem but we need to be invited to a person house and there is something else, we can use compulsion on humans. I never use it on you. Every day when I take to school I offer you tea right?"
"Yes you said it is good for me because of the exercise."
"The tea has vervain, a herb that makes it impossible for vampires to compel you. Actually." He says getting off the bed and picking something from his jacket pocket. "I want you to have this." He says giving her a simple box in wood. "Open it."
Quinn opens the box she sees a beautiful classic white pendant she takes it from the box and looks at the necklace on her hands. ( www . searchperfectgifts )
"It's beautiful."
"It belonged to me mother inside it was vervain that way you can be protected.
"I don't know if I should take it."
"Quinn even if you don't want anything to do with me, I still want you to have it. That way you can protect yourself a bit."
After he finishes speaking she gets up and stays in form of her mirror.
"Can you help me put it?" She asks with a soft smile and Dylan gets to her pulling her hair from the back for neck to the left side and putting the necklace not taking his eyes from her refection of the mirror when he finished he steps back and Quinn turns giving him a kiss on the lips which surprised him.
"It's late my mom I probably getting home but I will see you on Monday?" She asks with a smile.
"Of course, I pick you up at the normal hour?" He asks and she gives him another kiss.
"I wouldn't accept less."
When Dylan gets home he sees Evelyn, Mark and Marley are watching some old movie on the TV in the living room.
"Hi someone arrived late." Mark says turning to his friends. "Are you ok?"
"I told Quinn." He says and everyone turns to him completely ignoring the movie.
"What did she said?" Marley asks concern about the girl who she actually believe to be a friend.
"She listened to the entire story and actually took it very well."
"So you too are still together?" Evelyn asks and Dylan smiles and nods. "Great, she asks to come have lunch tomorrow."
"We will see about it. Where is Rachel?"
"Upstairs, she told us she was tired but I think she still awake." Marley answers.
"I need to talk to her." He says leaving to the room.
Rachel was in her bed reading a book when Dylan knocked.
"It's Dylan shorty."
She rolls her eyes at the nickname but says for him to come in. He sits on her bed with a smile.
"I told Quinn."
"You told Quinn?" She asks not being sure of what he meant.
"Everything, what I was, my story and what I feel for her."
"And what did she said?"
"Well she said she loves me and took everything pretty well actually." Rachel hugs Dylan with happiness.
"I am so happy for you."
"Evelyn wants her to come for lunch tomorrow should she come?" Dylan asks.
"Call her and we will see."
Next day Dylan came to the dinner room with Quinn on her arm.
"You must be Quinn. I'm Evelyn."
"Pleasure." Quinn says a little shy.
"You already know Cooper and Blaine." He says to the two vampires who smile at her. "This is Mark." He says and the blonde man gives her a smile.
"Quinn you came." A voice comes from the door and hugs the girl.
"Hi Anna, Peter." She says to the couple. "Mr. Anderson."
"Please Quinn, call me Ryan outside school, actually, in here you can call me Elijah." He says and the girl looks at me not understanding.
"I explain to you later." Dylan whispers to his girlfriend.
"So this is the time Quinn tells us she is vegetarian and someone breaks something, I bet on Anna."
"Cooper, don't start." Rachel with Marley appears and smiles at the blonde human who smiles at the two girls.
"Come on let's eat." Evelyn says.
Lunch goes great. Quinn laughs with the family and learns a little more from almost everyone, they laugh and have a genuine great time.
