Chapter 2
Rebeca's Point of View
"May I have a glass of blood instead of juice?" I asked as my mom was about to pour the drinks.
"Since when do you drink blood?" She asked, an eyebrow raised.
"Ahhh... It's a, resolution, yeah a resolution. Who said they can only be made on New Year's?" I said, trying to hide the fact that it was a quick answer.
"Ok," she said skeptically, not a good sign. I was dreading this dinner, at some point dad would say at least something about my confession to Mich. However I didn't know how he would ease into it. Mom set down the drinks on the table with such grace, it never ceased to amaze. She sat down and I took a small sip of the blood. I grimaced and wanted to spit it out but swallowed. It tasted like plastic, no flavor, nonsustaining. Mich's blood on the other hand, felt like silk, tasted like warm milk down my throat. It's flavor, like all my favorite tastes rolled into one elixir, and was very sustaining. I was surprised I was able to stop, I wanted to drink forever. But some how I summoned the will to stop. But my personal battle wasn't over until he left the house. His sent was at least twice as strong with an open wound. However even after he left, his sent permeated my room. His blood was a drug, and I was addicted.
"It's ok, none of us find it tasteful. Rest assured real human blood tastes much better," My dad's voice informed me, and snapped me out of my daydream.
"So...Should you tell her or do you want me to?" Dad asked with a sigh.
"Tell me what?" Mom asked pausing from eating the rare stake. I stayed silent.
"Your daughter told her boyfriend our true identities, origins and about our powers," Dad said with another sigh knowing what was about to come.
"WHAT!!" My mom screamed with uncontrolled furry.
Mich's Point of View
I looked around, it was kind of dark, the sun had already set. But it there was a full moon out tonight. The moon light filtered into the bedroom. I could see the glint of the dull metal of the handcuffs on my legs. The bedroom was however also dimly lit by a over-head lamp in the center of the room on the ceiling with different levels of illumination. She walked towards me smiling her teeth couldn't have been that white naturally. Her canine teeth easily picked out, on account of they being twice as long as her normal ones and pointed. I was defiantly scared but probability not as scared as I should have been.
"You don't seem as scared as you should be. Why?" she asked. I was silent
"hhhh," she said pinching the bridge of her nose, "You really aren't making this any easier on yourself are you," She said
"I can make my bite as pleasurable, or as painful as I want," She threatened. "Or maybe even drain you dry," I remained silent. She sighed she knew this was not going to work.
"Maybe you need to feel, first-hand, how much pain I can inflict," She said with a sick sadistic smile. I was really scared now, I could feel my skin getting paler as she got on top of the covers of the bed with me and laid close, next to me. She leaned closer , her hair brushing against my face. I was paralyzed with fear, I couldn't move. She bit me, but it only a prick that broke skin, she moved back a couple inches. She inhaled as if taking in, not only my sent but my fear as well. She plunged her fangs into my neck as she exhaled. I yelled like I had just got my arm cut off. It didn't, but it felt like that would have been the equivalent, it was like a blowtorch against my neck, like my blood was boiling.
Rebeca's Point of View
I grabbed my neck, it felt like it was burning with white hot heat. I fell out of my chair to the ground yelling. My mom and dad were over to me before I even it the floor. My dad caught me in his big burly arms. I kept screaming and started flailing my arms. He set me on the couch a second later, I was still kicking and screaming. Until it finally stopped. It must have lasted 5 seconds but that was the most painful 5 seconds of my life. My dad pulled my hand away from my neck after I stopped screaming without a word. Their felt like no wound, my dad confirmed it.
"How..." My mom started and stopped, looking wide-eyed at my dad, and then at me. They knew something I didn't
"What?" I asked, "Other than I had a very painful episode without any apparent wounds," I included.
They both sighed at the same time.
"Apparently you have an emphatic link to that boy of your's," My mom said.
"You can feel some of the most powerful emotions that the subject of the link feels. It would seem that he was in excruciating pain just now," She continued.
"There is only one other vampire family in this town, the Holor's" Mom explained.
"I believe that it is Wen Holor and her two daughters Jene Holor, and Nena Holor"
"What! You knew Jene was here, you heard my story, you knew what Jene did. Why didn't you tell me she where she lived?" I asked extremely frustrated
"Well. I didn't think that you knowing her address was a good thing for the exact reason of how you know her. Also I didn't think that she could affect you directly," she explained calmly.
"What about Mich," I asked.
"Well... I was hoping you hadn't had too strong a bond, that you wouldn't have a link" She said "However I have to admit that I was hoping that Jene would kill Mich, our secret would be safe," She continued.
"How could you even think that!" I exclaimed, "What about me, what do you think I would have done, if Mich had died," I continued my rant.
"You would get over it," She said simply.
"Teenagers tend to over inflate their relationships," She explained herself.
"Yeah well... You know how close we are now," I said looking away still angry.
"You wont die if he did but you would feel pain leading up to the death," She said, explaining how far the link would go.
"I still need to help him," I said. I grabbed my neck again from the pain.
"FUCK!"
Mich's Point of View
"FUCK!!" I screamed as she finally took out her fangs a second time, I was really weak, I must have lost half my blood by now, I was light-headed, blood was draining out of my neck.
"You know how this can end," She said condescendingly. She was straddling me by now, she had to keep her hands on my wrist. I had enough chain to grab her head and push it away when she bit me. I heard someone from upstairs coming down. Jene got off me and sat on the side of the bed. The door to her room opened . A very pretty girl walked into the room, she had Jene' long black curly hair but had blue eyes instead of Jene's green.
"Hey Nena," Jene said pleasantly, like she wasn't causing immense pain to someone in the same room.
"Hello Jene, I see your having a little fun with your food," she said with almost no emotion, she spoke like she showed no emotion in her entire life, like monotoned.
"I'm bored, this looks like it can give me something to do, may I?" Nena asked.
Jene was smiling "Go ahead, just don't kill him, that's my job,"
"Thank you," Nena said. She walked up to me, she couldn't have been more then 15 years-of-age. She grabbed the sides of my head and pulled me towards her at the edge of the bed. It twisted my arms, and I winced. Then she bit into my neck fully however, unlike Jene, started to chew into my neck. It made the pain 3 times as worst than when Jene bit me. A few second later I barely felt it but Jene plunged her fangs into my neck but man did I feel it when she did. Between Nena's chewing out my neck and Jene's malicious biting of my neck. I wasn't sure how much I could take, before I died, or broke. No! I wouldn't break, I would die, I would take Rebeca's secret with me screaming to hell. I heard another pair of footsteps coming down the stairs, both Jene and Nena took their fangs out of me. Oh god, could my luck be bad enough that Jene would have three sisters as evil as her . The door opened in in walked a grown women, well I think so, she looked about 25. She looked like Jene in about 8 years, her long thick black curly hair. Her sparkling green eyes. I could see the family resemblance, 2 daughters and a mother.
"I just got a call from the Borno's," my ears perked up, Rebeca's last name was Borno. "They claim that we have something of theirs, a boy," She said with stern stiffness.
"Is this the boy?" She asked glancing at me.
"I don't know what they're talking about," Jene said, she moved closer to me.
"They'll be here in about 10 minutes. Try not to harm the boy until then. I really can't afford to get in a fight with an older family," She explained. Jene did not look happy one bit.
"Oh.. You might want to clean him up too, just in case the boy is their's, sparks might fly if they see him like that," She added and then left the room. Jene got up from the bed and got a towl and started to wipe the blood from my neck, whispering in to my ear as she did,
"No matter who you belong to, I will not stop, I will find out how to bypass your protection from my charm and you will be mine," She said whispering. She was fixated on me, no not fixated, obsessed, I wondered if I could survive such attention from a vampire. 10 minutes passed quickly, I was still cuffed to the bed, but my hands were free.
I was sitting on the side of the bed. I heard a ring of the doorbell, footsteps going to the door. The door opening, I could not hear what they were saying. But after a minute, they started to come downstairs. The door opened, and I saw Rebeca, she ran at me and wrapped her arms around me.
"She's a VAMPIRE!" Jene exclaimed, letting out a low growl but it was silenced by her mom's presence. Rebeca's mom and dad walked into the room too.
"Yes, thats the one," Her mom said. "Thank you for finding him," She regarded me like I was property but I did not pay it any heed. I had Rebeca in my arms and that was all that mattered. She glanced at my neck, she was too fast she saw all the bite marks. She looked at Jene with barely contained furry, I knew that this was not the time for a fight, I gently held Rebeca's face in my hands and turned her head towards me and whispered.
"Calm, calm yourself, here," I said and lifted her left hand using mine and put her hand on my heart.
"Let the rythem calm you down, listen. I could tell Jene was pissed, I didn't even need to see her and I knew. I saw Rebeca's mom and dad standing near the door to Jene's bedroom
"Thank you for finding him, he is ours," Rebeca's mom told Jene's mom regarding me as property, but I didn't care, I had Rebeca with me and that is all that mattered.
"Let's go Rebeca" Her mom said, annoyed a little. She took my head and led me to the door. I tripped, I forgot all about the cuff Jene had on my legs. Jene walked over with all the reluctance in the world and unlocked the cuff.
"Remember what I said," She whispered so softly that only I would hear. Rebeca still had my hand and she led me out the door, into her parent's car. A black Doge Viper, Mer mom and dad in the front, me and Rebeca in the back. The interior looked somewhat old fashioned, but still cool. Black leather on almost every square inch, it even smelt like fresh leather.
"Let me see, please" She asked, I knew what she was talking about, I pulled down the right side of the collar of my jacket. She leaned closer and examined the 3 sets of bite marks,
"Well, they don't look infected, at least their's that," She diagnosed. I turned to my left side, she looked confused, and pulled down that side of my jacket's collar. She gasped,
"What did she do to you," leaning in again.
"Well technicality it was Nena, Jane's sister who did this," I said referencing to the gnawed wound on the left side of my neck.
"She's teething," She said.
"She's what?" I asked
"Teething," She said "Sometimes the increased canine teeth growth is the last thing to happen so vampires without the teeth have to gnaw on the neck to break the skin to get at the blood. That must be what is happening with this Nena, on the plus side it doesn't look infected either," She concluded. She laid in my lap, and I started to twirl and play with her hair. She fell asleep. Too bad the drive wasn't longer. The car stopped
"Stay in the car, she's too tired, you should probability wait to talk to her," I nodded. Her mom stayed in the car while her dad got out and held her in his big arms and went into the house. Rebeca's mom drove me home, I got out of the car and thanked her for the ride, it was only 8:45 but wanted to go to bed early.
