Chapter 4

Rebeca's POV

I saw Mich leave, and invited my mom into my room.

"What do you want to talk to me about," I asked her, hoping that she didn't want to talk to me about what I thought she wanted to.

"I sure that you know," She said to me.

"I want to know how far you've gone with him," It wasn't a question, it was a demand.

"Why do you want to know?" I asked in a defiant tone, like it was any of her business to began with.

"DON'T TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME!"She yelled, it was frightening, her lips curled back, showing her fangs and teeth, she looked like she was about to attack me.

"You know I only want what's best for you," She said, calming down substantially.

"That old cliché, come on. Do you really don't know what is best for myself?" I asked her, trying not to sound as pointed as I could have sounded.

"Ok maybe that cliché won't work but I sill want to know. I just would like to know," She said unable to come up with an explanation I would buy.

"I love him," I told her, quietly.

"I know that, you wouldn't have formed an emphatic link unless you really believed that you loved him, you also wouldn't have formed such a bond unless he didn't feel the same," She told me. I wasn't sure why, I had pretty much banished such feelings. However I felt that, for some reason, I thought he didn't love me. I believed her, and she made me relived because my bond wouldn't have formed unless he felt the same way.

"You look happier now," She observed, fuck, I really wished she didn't have the keen insight that she did.

"Forget it, it's impossible," I said

"So have you lost control yet? He dose seem to have a particularly powerful sent," She said.

"No I haven't!" Almost yelling.

"Didn't like that did you," She observed, she looked like she was expecting my outburst.

"I was wondering, what determines a powerful sent?" I asked her, really curious.

"That dose not have a simple answer. Some people believe that it is all in the DNA, some believe that it is entirely based on the powerful the vampire's smell is. I however believe that all humans have relatively the same smell to all vampires, and what variety there is, is the personal preference of the vampire. However your Mich seems to have a powerful sent regardless of the preference. That is interesting I've never smelled a more powerful sent," She said turning her head to the side like she was a scientist observing a interesting specimen.

"He's not yours, I won't let you hurt him," I said with the deepest conviction.

"Don't worry, he's all yours, I have mine," She said with a smile.

"So...You never did say how far you've gone," She hinted.

"Aside from cuddling, I drank blood from the lips," I confessed.

"How much blood have you taken?" She asked interested.

"I don't take blood, I would never take unless he let me," I informed her.

"I see, I wonder how long you will be able to keep that up. And how long it will take for you to be able to keep control of yourself?" She mused to herself.

"I will NOT lose control, I will NOT drink his blood with out his consent," I said with utter and absolute conviction.

"You know that he would never say no when you want a drink, so that doesn't really count," She said, smiling slightly.

"I...I..." I stuttered.

"You don't have to answer that," She said.

"Are you done, antagonizing me?" I asked exasperated.

"Hello? I'm Home!!" Dad yelled opening the door and closing it.

"Yeah, I'm done with you," She said, walking out of the door.

Mich's POV

I drove home slightly annoyed that we were cut short but, I guess it couldn't be helped. I was driving a little over the speed limit, but in this small town, I doubt that a cop was around. I got home and opened the door.

"That was kind of quick," I heard my mom say.

"Rebeca had somewhere to go," I lied, usually I don't lie to anyone, but I didn't want to extend the conversation, and had some history homework to do, and I wanted to reflect about what had happened over the walk, what the implications might be. So I went upstairs and into my room.

I had just finished my labeling of a map of Asia when I got a call to my cellphone.

"Hello?" I asked, I didn't recognized the number on the caller ID.

"Hello Mich," I heard Jene's voice say calmly over the phone. I stopped dead. I looked around and out my window, probability out of irrational fear.

"I'm nowhere near you so why look around?" She asked. That just creeped me out, I could have sworn she was smiling.

"If your not watching then how do you know I looked?" I asked with disgust.

"Just a good guess," She said

"So just how did you get this number?" I asked interested in her answer.

"My mom's top cop in the local precinct," She said slyly, that wasn't good.

"Don't do anything wrong," She said, again I could have swore that she was smiling,

"Mommy knows I'm more punishment for you than any fine or time in jail," She was really scaring me now, mainly because she was right. I probability rather go to jail then stay with Jene for however long my sentence would be.

"So other than scaring me to no end, was their something you wanted from me?" I asked.

"Other than your undying love, no," She said, still smiling I bet. She must have known I would never do what she almost desperately wanted. I wasn't completely sure why she wanted me so much.

"Why do you crave me so?" I asked, bad choice of words, but were fine for the lack of better words. She started giggle.

"I might want you so bad because I've never been able to not have who I wanted before, it's a new challenge of sorts," She answered me.

"So theirs no feeling behind the craving, just the prospect of overcoming a challenge," I stated.

"Oh, theirs feeling behind it, genuine feeling of affection, maybe not as much as my sister but..." She trailed.

"Wait, did you say your sister?" I interrupted, confused.

"She got her fangs, right after drinking your blood. She was very happy when she got them, but I could tell she wasn't completely happy. I asked her about it and she told me that she wanted you again, apparently I'm not the only one who thinks your blood is tastily. She wants to see you again," Jene told me, it made me shiver, not only did Jene want me but her sister wanted me too. That's just fucking great I thought to myself, I thought that one vampire was bad but now I had the unwanted attention of 2 of them now.

"So any other information that might make me quake in fear and give me nightmares?" I asked, wishing their wasn't.

"Nope not yet at least," She replied

"Bye then," I said.

"Bye," she said and hung up. I visibly shivered. This whole thing's going to get me hurt again, I just know it I said to myself. I might be immune to her "charm" power, which I still don't know why I'm immune, but still, if she drinks enough I don't stand a chance at stopping her if she tries to abduct me again, and now I had to worry about Jene's sister getting to me too. I sat down on my bed and wondered what I was going to do. I heard my cellphone go off again, it was 3:45, it had been about 2 hours since I got 'kicked out' of Rebeca's. I go it and picked it up, it was Rebeca.

"Hello?" I asked.

"You know who this is Mich," She said matter-of-factly.

"What's wrong?" She asked. How...How did she know something was up, did she... wait that's right, the Emphatic Link, it's going to take awhile before I get used to that.

"Well... I didn't want to mention it because I know you would worry but, because of that Emphatic Link I guess I can't stop you from knowing me," I started.

"Jene called me, she called me on my cell. Apparently her mom is top cop at the local precinct," I informed her. She gasped over the phone

"That's not all of it either, apparently Jene isn't the one who wants me, I guess her sister wants me because she might think I'm special because she got her fangs right after drinking my blood," I continued. I felt overwhelming fear that wasn't my own, I guess the door swings both ways with the Link.

"Calm down, please I'm not sure how much more paranoia I can take in one day," I said.

"Oh right, the Link, I'm sorry," She said, the fear diminishing to a more manageable level.

"This is not good, defiantly not good," She told me.

"Your telling me," I said agreeing with her.

"You know how much I hate talking over the phone, could I come over?" She asked, she much rather have a face-to-face conversation.

"Sure you can, I lied to my mom about why I came back early, I said that you went somewhere. Just telling so you might want to think of something on the way over," I told her.

"You, lie, what is the world coming to, is the apocalypses coming?" She asked sarcastically.

"If it is, I know who I want to spend my last days with," I said playfully, playing along.

"Me too," She replied.

"See ya soon," She said.

"See ya," I replied. She hung up and I put my cell in my pocket. I started to clean my room. About 10 minutes later my room was clean and presentable. I walked out to the living room.

"Rebeca's coming over," I said to my mom, who was knitting. She loved to knit it was like a hobby of hers.

"Ok," She said keeping her attention on her count. I sat down on the chair, since mom was taking the couch. I grabbed the remote from the coffee table. And turned it on to the guide, we had Dish so we got the T.V. Guide for next few days as a function on the remote. I turned it to my favorites. I scrolled down, I went through the entire list and turned it to Law and Order on TNT. I had probability seen every episode at least 3 times but I still watched, I wasn't sure why though. Another 5 minutes passed, when I heard a knock at the door at the same time as the detectives were arresting a suspect. I turn the TV off and went down the stairs and opened the door.

I saw Rebeca's anime smile light up, she threw her arms around me and hugged me. Somehow she didn't poke my eye out when she threw her arms up since she closes her eyes when she smiles big, like an anime character, that is why I call it an anime smile. I returned the embrace. She stepped back, I turned and opened the stairs to her, she walked in and started up the stairs as I closed the front door.

"Hello Rebeca," My mom said.

"Hello Ms. Teir," I heard Rebeca said, I hated my last name: Teir. I'm not even sure why I don't like it so much but I don't.

"You know you don't have to call me Ms. Teir, it's too formal, just call me Rachel," My mom said.

"Ok, Rachel," Rebeca said. Rebeca was at the top of the stairs, she turned to her right and at the end of the hallway on the right was my room. She entered. I heard her gasp. I ran up to her looking at her.

"Whats wrong Rebeca?" I asked franticly, she was standing in the doorway. Staring in my room. I turned my head to my room.

"Whoa," I said as I saw Jene sitting on my bed, my window open. This wasn't good, I couldn't have a fight in my home. And I couldn't let my mom think something was the matter and see 2 girls in my room. She would think all the wrong things. Not good, not good, I yelled at myself. I didn't know what to do. I was frantic.

"Something the matter Mich?" Jene said to me, her head tilted to the side, smiling.

"Who was that?" I heard my mom ask. Shit, shit, shit, not good, not good.

"That was me, Rachel," I heard Rebeca lie, Thank, You, Rebeca for the save. She entered the room, I followed quickly. I shut the door quick but not quick enough to arouse suspicion. I reached over from next to the door and turned on my boombox on the top of my bookcase. And turned the volume up until it could drown out the screaming that were about to happen. I heard "Dammit" by Blink 182 start to play. I stayed near the door threshold, Rebeca was a foot or so away from me, standing between me and Jene and about 3 steps away from Jene. Rebeca and Jene had their eyes locked. I could feel the tension, you could probability cut the tension with a knife. Only the music breaking the 10 second of awkward silence.

"Why are you here Jene?" I asked slow and deliberately.

"I'm here to take you to my place, since I don't think you would go voluntarily," She answered eyes locked with Rebeca.

"Over my dead body," I heard Rebeca say quietly. I felt a primal urge to kill, it wasn't my feelings.

"I can have that arranged," I heard Jene say contently, with her small smile. Jene's lips curled back reveling her fangs and teeth, and made a low growl. I saw both Jene and Rebeca crouched a little and I heard low growls come out of both of them. I saw Jene's eyes start to turn red, I bet Rebeca's eyes were turning red too. I sighed, I knew what I had to do. I stepped from behind Rebeca and walked over to Jene. Both of their eyes following me, they didn't relax their stances though.

"I can't have you two fight here. Someone innocent might get hurt. Rebeca you know, with all my heart I love you. But since your both hell bent on rending each other limb from limb I have to go with her. I also don't want to see you hurt at all, so I guess this is the only way to diffuses the situation," I said, standing in front Jene. I could tell Jene was smiling, Rebeca relaxed her stance so I suppose Jene did too. I felt Jene's arms wrap around me from over my shoulders, she pushed me against her. And jumped out the window carrying me with her. My room was on the second floor of my house. She had jumped out side ways, head first and we landed on the ground next to my Kia. Jene threw me into the backseat of the Kia and slipped into the driver seat, she locked all the door. And sped off, I saw Rebeca standing in the window, crying. It hurt me so much to see her cry, her own pain mixing with mine was too much to bear and I started to cry too, I curled up into a ball and sat in the corner of the back seat, my hands wrapped around my knees who were up to my chin, my feet on the seat, my head looked down.
