Just as I suspected, Arden had already smelled her and was already on my bed. Still shocked. "So, you are saying that you are an Elf? And your mission is to protect my sister from monsters?" Arden asked Este as I entered. "Yes, I am here to serve the chosen one." Arden laughed at Este. "Can you hear yourself? She is the chosen one... which means, she is meant to protect you, not the other way round." Este looked at me then focused on Arden. "Are you sure she can protect herself? I heard she hasn’t even had her first bite and will be dead in two days and you expect me to believe she can protect herself and the whole world?...what a joke." "I’m right here guys," I said as I walked to my bed. "And Arden, get out." "Why don’t you want mom to find out?" he asked. "I ask the same question," Este said as she stood up from the window she was sitting on and jumped down. She walked towards the door and opened it. "Don’t even dare." I looked at her as she closed it and walked toward my bed
"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.
"But Principal Elise, we thought we were going to swim today!" Jada said as she stood up from where she was seated. "We don’t want to hear a story... we are not kids!" she added."You are the only one who disagrees with Jada, no one else... so sit down." principal Elise said.She looked directly at her friend and took Maddie’s hand. "Maddie does." Confused, Maddie looked at the remaining students and back at Jada. "I do?""Yes Maddie, remember?" Jada said. Giving her friend an agreement look."I think it’d be best to sit with the rest of the people tonight and swim tomorrow before we go home.— I mean, it’s getting dark and I am scared and the water will be too cold Jada, unless you are a witch, then you can survive out there alone." Maddie said as she covered her body properly with the blanket around her shoulders. I was sure she wasn’t in the mood for Jada’s company. She wanted to stay and have fun with the rest of the class. Jada felt embarrassed. She scoffed and carried her bag.
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 can sense someone here." A young gorgeous lady said as she drew her sword. A bloodsucker came forward and bowed at her feet.She placed her sword back and focused on him."Master!" He called... "Shall we begin?"The young lady nodded her head twice.Two women walked in front of the barrier holding chains and started to speak in tongues. "Witches!" I said as I looked at Este. "We can’t defeat them." My breathing started to fade. "You are the chosen one, put yourself together," Este whispered as she placed her hair in a ponytail and tied her boot lace tight. "We are ready." She tried to come out of our hiding place but I stopped her quickly."Look closer," I said as she focused on what the demons were doing. "They are trying to break the barrier!" "Exactly... and when they do, we will all die because more demons will be here and we won’t be able to defeat them." "But Inez, we can prevent that by killing all of them in this place and we have to do it now!!!" She yelled as she r
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 walked through the long corridor, giving glances at the portrait which decorated the off-White walls.It was as if they worshiped themselves here.A huge picture of Mr. and Mrs. Parker hung at the far end of the hallway. They were in each other's arms as they smiled at the camera dreamily.They looked… in love.But now, I guess their busy lives are replacing much of their family time because Chase doesn't always go to him often; instead, he enjoys staying with me.I turned to the side, spotting a picture of Chase and a little girl. His sister? He never told me he had a sister. He only told me about how busy his parents are.She looks beautiful.Chase was smiling wide, showing all his teeth and also holding his sister's hand.We kept on walking, turning down another hallway to a door.His mother pushed it open and we stepped into a big room colored sky blue.Now, I'm wowed."You like it?" She asked as I smiled at her."It's beautiful," I said as I dropped my bag. My eyes scanned the
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
