"Inez," Denise called, waving as she ran to me. She hugged me with so much joy. "I thought you wouldn’t make it. I was so scared." she released me from her grip. "I’m fine now, really." I gave her a soft smile. Denise looked at the girl next to me. "You made a new friend and..." "She’s my cousin." I cut in immediately. Denise smiled. "That’s great, I’m glad to meet you." she stretched her hand towards Este. "I’m Denise." Este took Denise’s hand into hers. "Este." She said as she removed her hat. "O.M.G!" Denise said slowly. What she saw surprised her. "This is the first time I’m seeing someone’s cousin have the same look as the person...are you sure, she’s not your twin sister?" She asked me but I shook my head. Well, I was also shocked the first time I saw her, and I still haven’t gotten used to it or her. She scares me but when I feel her aura, it makes me want her to stay closer to me. "Well Denise, how about we get ready and set our camp in the woods?" I proposed.

The story made the time fly by so quickly. It was nine on dot and people were going into their tents while some were still having fun outside. I felt someone hold my hand and I turned to look at who it was and I smiled the moment I saw him next to me. "I’m sorry about earlier, Jada can be a drama queen but I guarantee you that nothing is going on between us." He said as he handed me a sandwich. "Thanks," I said. I looked at him for a while and smiled again. "I believe you."Did I just read his mind? I guessed I did but Chase wasn’t lying and that alone made me happy. Denise already went to eat in her tent and said she would be back once she is done. I unwrapped the sandwich and took a big bite from it. "Are you going to be traveling this summer?" I asked around a mouthful of food. "Well, first of all, Inez, you need to take it slowly." "Hmm," I said as I nearly choked. "I will be back... let me go and bring water," he said as he stood up. I heard the sound of a demon from afa

I stood steel and my legs just wouldn't move. I was burning inside, trying not to transform. I didn't want Chase to see me as a monster. I was trying to avoid it. "Inez." He called. "I can't move," he said. "Don't c...come any closer." He stuttered. "There is something at-at-my back." I started to get angry. "Run for... for help." He said as the vampire fangs started to come out. "Don't worry... Inez— Denise isn't here." All that he was saying wasn't what I was worried about... I just wanted to save his life. I had to."Leave him alone!" I yelled In a demonic tone; Deep and harsh. I had no choice now or Chase died. There it was. I transformed. My fangs started to come out as my claws followed. I've never been this angry in my life. "What the hell?" Chase said as he focused on me. The expression on his face became priceless. "I said... leave... him... alone!!!" I yelled again as I jumped on the vampire and devoured him along with his flesh without a second thought. I didn't f

I stood in front of the door and was about to knock when the door opened. I could see him standing in front of me. I looked up to meet his gaze, and immediately, he took three steps back into his room.I entered quietly without uttering a word.Silence took place for about five seconds before I finally spoke up. "I know you hate me now and you still find it unbelievable. I can explain. It's true. I'm not like you.""What do you want, Inez? If that's even your real name.""I don't know about that either, but my family calls me that." I chuckled a little and focused again. "Please don't tell anybody about me. The truth is, I'm a dhampir and I have a mission here. To save the human race from the vampire king, Cain. As I've heard, he is cruel and very ambitious and will do anything to get what he wants.""Okay, I won't tell anybody about you being a monster." He looked away. Trying not to look me in the eyes.I tried to touch him, but I hesitated and dropped my hand back to my side. He ca

Dear diary,Corner is like me. I haven't spoken to him before but all I can feel is a great aura coming from within. I feel fear. A lot of it and it makes me want to cry. Chase found out about what I am and now he is scared of talking to me or even getting closer to me. He was the reason why I had hoped to keep living. My first love... the only person I will give my life to in order to save him. And Denise can read Latin. Shocking! A language only I understand. My best friend understands it and I guess that might mean something right? I have to go to the council today to tell them about it. "exire debeo." (I have to go.) I heard a knock on my door. That should be my mother. "It's opened." I said before putting my diary inside my cupboard. She entered with a book. "I found this and got this for you from the book shop... I thought you might need it." She placed it on my bed and I took a look at it and smiled at her. "Thanks mum." I said as she sat next to me. "So what is the p
