I am back with another Chapter

Chapter 12
“So have you talked to Elizabeth about this?” I looked over my shoulder and Zachary was standing there. “Well um no, no I haven’t.” “Are you two fighting again?” “She started it.” “Veronica, Elizabeth is your best friend and she is the only one you can really talk to.” “Fine I will talk to Elizabeth.” I turned and walked out of the room. Looked down the hallway to the last door to the right and walked over and opened it. There was a winding staircase going down into darkness. Oh boy, see how well this goes. I walked down the stairs and came to another door with a padlock on it. I unlocked the lock and opened the door.
Well look who it is. Well if it isn’t Veronica. I looked across the dim room and saw to glowing red eyes. “Hey Elizabeth.” So have you come to apologize? “Hey I have nothing to apologize for you’re the one who over reacted about me not coming down here that one day.” Me over react! Just then Elizabeth came forward from the darkness and I had forgotten how huge she had gotten. Her head just barely missed the ceiling that we had lifted for her size. You didn’t come down here for a week! I was about to starve. “Yes I know and for that I apologize for but not for that other thing you won’t let go.” Fine. Now why are you here? “Well I am kind of in trouble.” What else is new? So what is it this time? “Well there is this guy and he knows about me and about my family. He wants me to turn him.” What! Her eyes glowed brighter and she was holding back fire. Only once has she ever breathed fire and then we had to move. She was a dragon after all, even a world of vampires dragons are rare. She was the last of her kind, that of the fire dragons of the north. Are you nuts? How could you let this happen? First he finds out about you and how long will it be before he finds out about me? We can’t have the Tre Old find out about me. “Yes, I know very well what they could do to you and to our family.” So what are you gonna do? “Well I can’t turn him, no one can. I just go along with it for the time being until I think of some thing.” Well you better think of something quick. And what are you going to do about your mother? “I am not sure I am hoping to figure it out before she wakes up.” Well good luck with that. “Yeah I will need that.”
I suddenly heard music coming from upstairs. Who would be playing at this time of day? “I got to go I will talk to you more when I get home tonight.” Ok I will see you then. I went up the stairs and into the dinning room and saw Angel playing the piano with mother and father standing around her. What are they doing up so early? I looked over at mother and as soon as I did her head went up and stared at me.
“So where have you been young lady?” “No where, I was just walking around town.” “Oh really, then why are you looking so worried? You know you can’t hide things from me,” Dang it she is right, I forgot that about her. “so where have you been?” “I was at someone’s house.” “Who’s?” “The Smiths.” “The Smiths? I thought you hated that girl?” “Well hate is a strong word, but I am more interested in her brother William.” “Veronica you know the law you can’t be with a human!” “Yes but I am only interested in his blood mother.” “Really? My little girl, she is finally interested in human blood?” “You could say that.” “So when will you suck his blood?” “After graduation.” “Why wait until then?” “I figured I should string him along until then so it will be worth it.” “I see, starve your craving so when the time comes you will enjoy it more. Oh you really do take after me in that way.” “Ha yeah, so I am gonna go get the door, because he is almost at the door.” “Right, right and where are you going?” “A movie.” “Perfect, sitting in a dark room close to each other, you can practically smell the blood in the veins.” “Right that was what I was going for.” “Have a goodnight my daughter and so proud.” “Bye.” Don’t be too proud, your little girl just lied through her teeth to you. She can never find out.
I went to the door and opened the door as he was about to knock. “How did yo—oh right, vampire.” “Yeah so let’s go before my parents come and ask you a hundred questions.” “Right because it isn’t like their daughter is going on a date or anything.” “Rig—a date?” “Well that would be what we are going on.” “Well I guess so but only a fake date, because you got us into this mess.” “Me, you’re the one who came to my house.” “Well, I…” “Ha I got you there.” “Shut up… so what movie are we seeing?” “You will see.” “Ugh I really don’t like surprises.” “It will be fine. So shall we play a game?” “What kind of game?” “Well it is more me asking you questions and then you say truth or myth. What do you say?” “Oh I don’t know about this.” “Oh come on, you can ask me a question when we are done.” “Fine but don’t you know everything because of that chick at your house?” “Well mostly.” “Ok.”
“Ok now garlic bothers you.” “Myth I actually like garlic on my pizza.” “Ok, hmmm. Ok I got another one. You turn into bats.” “Myth again, we can control bats but we can’t transform.” “Werewolves are real.” “Fact and they are so horrible. They never do as you tell them to.” “Oh really, so do you know any?” “Yes one. He is good friend but our families hate each other so.” “I see. Well that is all I got for now.” “Ok now I have only one. Why do you want to be turned?”

Chapter 11
“So what are we going to do about Amy?” He looked at me and asked, “What about her?” “Well you just told her a lie saying I am your girlfriend and you know she is going to tell everyone this.” “Well I guess we will just have to fake it.” “I guess so.” “I can start by picking you up later for a movie?” “Maybe, come by and see if I am home.” “Oh I see how it is.” “Well I am going to go, see you around.” “Good bye.” I turned and walked out the door. I started to walk up the street.
How is this going to work? I don’t really want to suck his blood… personally I find the whole sucking blood thing kind of gross. I mean really you don’t know where that person’s neck has been or if it is clean. Another thing is I don’t really want to pretend to be his girlfriend. I looked back to his house and saw someone staring out the window. I made my way down the hill to the house. Why would he make up such a lie about being his girlfriend, I mean sure we probably will be seeing each other a lot now. But he doesn’t have to make up a lie like that. I got to the door and went inside.
“Well how did it go?” as I expected Zachary was standing at the stairs. “Fine.” “Fine? Just fine?” “Yes, just fine. Oh and I will be expecting him to drop by later.” “Oh really and why is that?” “Because I am his “girlfriend”.” “Ha! When did this happen?” “When I got over there… it was his excuse for me being there.” “Oh just wait till mother hears about this, you dating a human!” “Yeah… I didn’t think of that when this happened.” “So what exactly happened?” “Well for one he knew everything about me. He has his own vampire source. The part that made him want to talk to me was he knows about Marcellus.” “What! No one knows that we are related.” “Well his vampire friend did.” “So let me guess he wants one of us to try and turn him then?” “Yes and no. He wants me to. He thinks that I am capable of doing it.” “You told him that none of Marcellus’s children turned out to be half-breeds right?” “Yes, but he still wasn’t convinced.” “Well what are you going to do?” “I told him that after my graduation I would try.” “What!” “Well all I am going to do his suck his blood. We know that none of us are half-breeds.” “What would mother and father think of this though Veronica?” “They won’t know, and you better not tell them.” “I won’t, I will leave you getting into trouble on your own.” “Thanks, kind of.” “So what are you going to do about the dating thing?” “Well one, we are just faking it, and I two make up some excuse to tell mother.” “Well good luck kid.” “Yeah I need that.”
I looked at the clock on the wall, only 3 pm. Mother and father won’t be up until 5. Oh boy what am I going to do? I went to the living room and sat in front of the fire place. Why is it that all the complicated things happen to me? First Henry now this… oh Henry I am so sorry. I can still see that night perfectly in my mind…
We were going to meet in the park after midnight. He wanted me to become a full vampire so that I could make my family proud. Some how Alexander found out and got there before we were suppose to meet and killed him as I got there. As I watched him get up he mumbled something and then ran off. Henry was just laying there on the ground dead. Some how I felt like it was my entire fault.
That was three years ago…

Ch 10

Chapter 10
I walked up the hill to his street. I looked to the end and saw a house cover with ivy and shadowed by trees. The house itself was made with black brick and had a gothic feel to it. How could someone like Amy live in this house? I walked up to the gate and pushed pass it. As I approached the door I saw a figure move in the window. I walked up to the door as I was about to knock a force pushed me back. I landed flat on back and I saw the door open and Amy standing there.
“Oh my gosh, I am so sorry Veronica.” “It is ok it was an accident.” She helped me up, “If you don’t mind me asking, um why you are here?” “Well I uh…” well let’s see I am here to suck your brother’s blood. Hmm that isn’t really the thing to say and I don’t want to tell her about the club. “You see it is a funny story…” “She is here to see me.” William stood behind her. “Yeah that is it.” “Ok but why? And wait how do you guys know each other? You guys aren’t secretly seeing each other.” I turned bright red, why would I even—“Yes we are sorry for not telling you sis.” What! I looked at him and he looked so serious. “Wait for how long?” “Oh just a little while, sorry we didn’t know how to tell you Amy.” I looked at her and she started to smile at me, this is getting creepy. “This is great! We can see each other all the time!” “Yeah!” great… “Well sorry but I got to get going to practice.” “Practice, oh you mean cheerleading?” “Yeah of course, you know you should have tried out.” “Ha sure maybe some other time.” “Well bye!” she ran to her car and drove off.
“So come in girlfriend.” I turned around to see him gesturing me in. “Yeah uh why did you say that?” “Well I figured I would be seeing you around here often and so I came up with that story this morning. Would you rather me say, oh she is here to suck my blood and we met at a club last night.” “No, but you couldn’t come with any better than that?” “Well no.” “Fine what ever. So you going to move so I can come in?” “Oh right sorry.” He stepped inside and I followed behind him. The house was a lot brighter on the inside than it was on the outside. “So this is my home, a little brighter than I would like, but Amy had to do something to cope with the ‘dark depressing’ exterior as she says.” “So I take it you don’t share her bubbly personality.” “Ha no, no I don’t.” Now that I look at him he doesn’t really come off that way. He was wearing a long dark blue sleeve shirt and black pants. He wore a leather arm band. “I guess you don’t really seem like that.” “And what do I seem like?” “I don’t from what I gather from all the empty canvases you’re an artist, are you not?” “Yes, a starving artist at that, the club is on of my jobs I am a busboy but last night was my day off.” “I see.” “And what about you, Miss Veronica?” “What do you mean? Oh a job? At the moment I am currently unemployed.” “That’s not what I meant. I meant are you some bubbly vampire?” “Are you kidding me? No way. I don’t mean to be mean but I can’t stand people like your sister.” “Yeah I figured as much.” “I guess I am really just ordinary. I don’t really have a style, I mean I like dark colors that is about it.” “From what I know you are far from ordinary.” “Yeah I know being a vampire and all right?” “Well you’re not even an ordinary vampire now are you?
“And what is that suppose to mean?” “Well just look at you. You have silver hair, your tan, and you’re still not a full vampire.” “How—” “Look at don’t mean to be a know it all but I think there is something about you that seems a bit off. I know I know ‘how dare you speak to a vampire that way’ but I am just speaking the truth and please don’t run off like you did last night.” “What is this? A lover’s quarrel?”
I looked up at the stairs and there was a woman who looked like she could be his kid sister standing there.” “No Victoria we are just discussing how she isn’t an ordinary vampire.” “William!” “Don’t worry she is the vampire that has been living since I was seventeen.” “What?” “Yes, let me introduce myself I am Victoria Smith I am kind of his adoptive sister.” “Wait Victoria Smith?” “Yes that is me.” “You’re the girl who turned down my brother last night.” “What? Oh that tall vampire? With the bad pick up lines?” “Ha yeah that is Zachery.” “So what happened to him afterwards?” “He acted really mature and got drunk and ran out in front of my car.” “Oh wow, was he ok?” “Yeah he does this anytime a girl turns him down.” “Ok?” “Yeah I don’t know either. So anyways back to the fact that you’re a vampire and you’re living with humans.” “Right well you see, William’s parents took me in before they died and he promised me if I told everything there was to know about vampires then he wouldn’t send me out to the streets.” “I see. So how does he know who I am?” “I told him a story…” “The story of Marcellus?” “Yes, and he found you on his own.” I turned to William who leaning against the wall, “So you think just because I am related to that half-breed that I could be like him? Look none of his children were half-breeds so I can’t do any to help you.” He stood straight up and walked towards me, “Have you ever tried?” “No, but I don’t want to suck your blood and disappoint you.” He placed his hands on my shoulders, “I want you to try. Even if it doesn’t work, I will be ok.” “Ok maybe, but not now.” “When do you want to do this then?” “After graduation, if you still feel the same way about this then we will try it after my graduation.” “Well that is how many months away?” “Five because I have extra credits.” “Ok I will wait five months then. I am telling you now that I will not change my mind.” “Fine.”

Chapter 9
“I know what you are. You can’t hide from me!” a hand reached over and grabbed my shoulder. “Get away from me!” “You should give it a try my dear, you will love it.” Another hand reached for me. “Get away from me!” “Only you can change me!” a figure stepped towards me, “No I can’t!”
“Leave me alone!” I shot straight up and looked around, “Only a dream. Ugh what time is it?” I looked over to my alarm clock. 6.45 am oh there is no way I can go back to sleep now. I got up and got dressed and went down stairs. “You know,” I jumped and nearly fell off the last step of the stairs, “you really should be asleep dear sister.” I looked around to see Zachary standing around the corner. “Shouldn’t you be asleep?” “You know the best thing about being a vampire dear little sister? No hangover.” “Right, I keep forgetting. So are you going out again?” “No not yet, I heard you yelling in your sleep and I was going to see what was going on.” “Oh. Well I am fine now thanks.” “So where are you going dressed like that anyways?” “Dress like what?” “Well one you haven’t worn that since Henry died.” I looked down seeing him holding my necklace. It was a locket with our family crest on it, and inside used to be a picture of Henry. “Well you were right, he is dead and I don’t need to hang on the past.” “I see, and the rest of your attire makes me think your going to look for that boy from yesterday.” “Maybe I am, maybe I am not.” “Look just be careful, he knows about you already and I am not sure if that is a good thing.” “You’re the one who said to last night.” “You remember I was drunk right?” “Yes, but you usually give good advice when you are.” “What ever, just be careful.” “I will don’t worry.”
I went into the kitchen and make myself some toast. Am I really going to go looking for this guy? I guess it couldn’t hurt. But the whole he knows who I am or I guess what I am, is really bothering me. I guess it could have advantages but look at what happened with Henry. I guess I just can’t let anyone know. “Ok, I am going to do it.” I turned towards the door and saw Zachary holding the door open gesturing me out. “On your way young lady, and please do be careful. After all you are my favorite.” “Ha since when have I been the favorite?” “Well think of it like this, Olivia is a crabby old hag,” “She is younger than you, you old fart.” “As I was saying, then there is Angel. Angel is so far advance than all of us that it is scary. Then there is you.” “Yeah, and what about me?” “You are so completely different from any vampire any of us have come across. You can do so much and yet you hate your very existence and want to be like everyone else. So what if your not a ‘normal’ vampire, you have special abilities that full vampires don’t even have.” “I don’t care, I want to be normal. I am a vampire who is hardly a vampire it isn’t fair. Not to mention mother and father look at me like I am broken. I don’t even want to know how grandmother would look at me.” “So what, you are who you are and I don’t see why you can’t see how special you are.” “I am sorry but I don’t see it. Look I am just going to go and find this guy and become normal.” “Fine have your way then.” I walked out the door.

Chapter 8
“Zachary! What the crap do you think your doing!” “I came to see my little sister do it for the first time, silly.” He pushed my arm and tried to get up. “Zachary are you drunk?” “What no, I only had this much.” He lifted up a bottle of rum that was nearly empty, “Come on lets get you home. This is getting old you know?” “Aw come on Veronica this is how we get to bond.” “What ever, so how was your night anyway.” “Very productive until I got to Victoria Smith, she ruined me.” “How so?” I lifted him into the car. “She did fall for any of my tricks.” “Well what do you expect? You use the same old tricks all the time and your with a different women every night.” “It has never failed me before. So anyways how did your night go?” “Fine I guess, I didn’t drink anyone’s blood though.” “What but I saw you leave with that guy.” “You what?” “I was there the entire time but then I left when you did because of that women. So why didn’t you suck his blood?” “Because he knew too much.” “By too much, you mean he knew you’re a vampire then?” “Yes, he willingly gave me his blood and you know what happened last time.” “Henry.” “Yes and I can’t go through that again.” “Listen I may be drunk but I can still give you this advice. Just because of what happened with Henry doesn’t mean you need to beat yourself up about it all the time. I know you loved him and he probably loved you too, but that was years ago and you got to let him go. He is dead.” “I know that! But I can’t just forget him, he was my best friend.” “He was a human he would have died in time anyways.” “I don’t care. Just please shut up, I don’t want to talk about him anymore.” “Fine then let me say this, you should try to find that guy again.” “Why?” “I can tell he will be good for you.” “Let me guess you saw something.” “Well I can see the future you know, or at least part of it.” “Yeah you never have been very good at that have you?” “Hey I am working on it!” “So what do you think my power will be? You have seeing the future, Olivia has the power to control metal which I can’t say is very useful, and then Angel has the power to control feelings which so isn’t fair.” “Well I can tell you this your power will probably be very random, I mean you are a very odd vampire already.” “Hey! But your probably right. So ‘Oh Great One’ where do I meet this guy again? Ha.” “Well don’t you know that his family live on the street behind us?” “What?” “Yeah that is why you always run into Amy.” “Oh great.” “Yup, isn’t it.” “I guess I can give it another try then.” “Good girl, hey slow down your going to past up the house.” “Oh right.” I pushed down on the breaks and pulled into the driveway. We got out and I helped him to the door and as I reached for the door handle the door opened “I see that this is becoming a regular trend with you two.” I looked up to see my mother standing in the door frame. “Yeah not something I look forward to.” “Hey you know you enjoy our bonding.” “What ever.” “Here I will take him for you Veronica you go up stairs to bed.” My dad came around my mom. “Thanks father.” I handed him Zachary and headed up the stairs and did as he said.

So this is rare but I wrote another chapter and it is a bit short oh well.
Chapter 7
We turned the corner back to the front of the club to see Jack standing there. “Hey Jack! You owe me ten bucks!” “What?” he turned looked over, “Yeah you see brother I ended up with the red head, the blonde was too full of himself and you know that isn’t my type.” “Fine,” he dug out his wallet, “here is your ten bucks.” I reached over and took it, “Thank you. So wait Jacqueline what is your type?” “Ha my type are the people who are insecure with themselves, my favorites are the ones who don’t believe they will end up and where.” “I see, and you Jack?” “The jerks and hot heads are my types.” “I so you guys are kind of opposite then.” “Yeah, right from the start Jack and I never really saw eye to eye.” “I see, you guys must have been a hand full.” “Yeah, mom always had to deal with it the most. Our dad wasn’t around very much. He was one the first turn so he kind of thinks highly of himself.” “I see.” “So how about you, what is your family like?” “Well there is my dad and my mom they have been together for ages. Um my brother Zachary he is the oldest and a total womanizer, my older sister Olivia who has a hatred for humans that I can’t fully understand, and then there is my younger sister Angel she seems innocent but she was one of the youngest vampires to become a full vampire.” “What about the one in the coffin?” “Oh grandma! She is in there sleeping, she likes to sleep for long periods of times. We never really know when she will wake up.” “Why was the coffin bolted shut?” “Mother-in-law verses Daughter-in-law.” “I see. So what about your grandfather? Is he in a coffin too?” “No I have never met him, neither has my father. All I heard was that he was killed the day before my father was born.” “Wow, I am sorry Veronica.” “It is ok Jacqueline.” “I am sorry too.” I felt arms wrap around me and I looked up at Jack putting his chin on my head. “Hey if you don’t mind I kind of want to go home now.” “Oh sure, ok lets get going.” “No Jacqueline I don’t want you to leave if you don’t want to, you can go back with Jack.” “Are you sure?” “Yeah.” “Ok then.” “See you tomorrow at school.” “Uh Veronica it is Friday.” “Oh right well then see you around. Bye.” “Bye.” “Good bye my sweet.” Jack lifted up my and kissed it. I turned and walked to my car. Why does he act like that? I got in my car and drove home.
Man tonight was not my night, I told my family’s secret to a girl who I don’t know if I can trust, and what was with that boy. Argh I don’t get it, how did he know all of that? I know he wasn’t lying about knowing it but still. “Almost half way home man, I really need to get this off my min—Holy CRAP!!!!” Just then a figure ran out in the street, I slammed on the break and just barely miss it.” I put the car in park and got out. I walked around the front of the car and say a hooded figure lying on the ground. I lifted the hood to see…
Chapter 6
“So where do you want to go?” I looked at him, “I don’t know. I just want to get away from here.” “You mean from that guy.” “Yes. I mean no.” “Well what is it? Yes or no?” “Oh I don’t know… I mean he is nice and all, but I only just met him. He is treating me like some princess and also like a child.” “Well maybe he was just trying to be nice.” “Maybe, but it doesn’t help that he is my friend’s brother…” “And what is wrong with friends’ brothers.” “Nothing, I guess.” “You should no my sister is in your class.” “What? How do you know that?” “Well when you said your name was Veronica I figured you must be my kid sister Amy’s friend.” “Well I wouldn’t call us friends.” “Ha yeah I figured just as much. So where do you want to do it then?” “What! What do you mean by ‘it’ you don’t mean ‘it’ it do you???” “What? No of course not.” “Then what is the ‘it’ you’re talking about?” “Well I guess I should start with I know you’re a vampire.” “What! Um what on earth could you be talking about.” “Come on you very well do,” He moved closer to me. “you can smell it right, my blood?” “Mhmm… Uh no I don’t know what you’re talking about.” “Yeah, yeah sure you don’t.” “Look even if I was, how on earth would you know?” “Easy your scent?” “My scent? How would you be able to tell the difference?” “Well back when I was like seventeen a vampire came to live with us, not like we knew she was one when we let her into our house. Well as time went on, I found out her secret and in return for not sending out she taught me everything about vampires. And I know all about your family. Miss Veronica Joanna Price.” “What are you talking about?” “I know you can change me?” “Um no I can’t, no ordinary vampire can.” “Well you don’t seem very ordinary to me.” “How dare you talk to me you worthless human!” I turned and walked away.
I turned the corner and bumped into Jacqueline with the red head she was hanging with earlier. “Mmm that was good, oh hey Veronica. You may go.” She said as she walked away from him. “So what happened? Did you suck his blood?” I looked at her “No.” “Why not?” “He knew too much and look I got to go.” “No tell me what is going on.” “Look you wouldn’t understand.” “Try me.” “Well he knew I was a vampire and I just I don’t know, like I said you won’t understand.” “So why do you have so little faith in your friends? It isn’t like I would betray you Veronica.” “I know that Jacqueline, I mean after all you are a vampire as well. But don’t you know of my family? Why no other vampires ever come close to us?” “No. Why would no one want to be near you guys?” “You have heard of Tre Old? “Tre Old? Oh you mean ‘The Old Three’? Why wouldn’t I know who they are they are like our kings er and a queen haha.” “Well we have so history with them.” “History, like what kind of history?” “Well have you heard of ‘The Fallen One’?” “Well yes but not much really.” “Well ‘The Fallen One’ is my great times five grandfather.” “What!” “Well I guess I should tell the story then, the story of Marcellus Lombardi. Well you know the Tre Old, Alexander, Marcus, and Francesca, how they are the original three and how only they can turn humans into vampires.” “Yes, Alexander was the first to do so.” “You are correct; he turned a woman named Bella Lombardi into a vampire so that she could live forever with him.” “Yeah it was so romantic! But didn’t she like disappear or something?” “Yes she ‘disappeared’ for twenty years and then was found with a young man named Marcellus who turned out to be her son. Everyone was so excited thinking he was Alexander’s son, but they soon found out he was the son of a human. Bella was put to death for having a son with a human, they saw it as unholy. They soon found out something very special about this man, up until then only Tre Old could turn humans into vampires, but this man this half-breed could do so as well. He had turned his wife into a vampire. No one quite knows how he did so but he did it, there were rumors going around that he could only do it to someone he loved and loved him back.” “Wow.” “Yeah, he went on to have children and none of them ever turned out to be half-breeds and to this day he was the only half-breed ever to exist. After what happened being married to a human was banded unless given special permission buy Tre Old.”
“Wow I had no idea, so what if due to genetics someone turned out to be a half-breed?” “Nothing thankfully, only those who marry or have sex with humans are at risk for punishment if they give birth to a half-breed.” “That is so harsh.” “Yeah but that is life for us. You know that story I told you about Henry.” “Yeah the one about the wild animal attack?” “Yeah…it wasn’t a wild animal, it was Alexander.” “What?” “Well Henry knew I about what I am, and offered his blood to me so I could fully transform, but Alexander found out and got to him before we could do it.” “Wow he really has it out for you guys.” “You have no idea.” “So is Marcellus still alive?” “No one knows. Most people do not think so, since he was a half-breed anyways. I think he could still be out there hiding. I would be hiding to if I was known through out the clan as ‘The Fallen One’.” “So then why did your mom marry your dad then if he is a descendant?” “They loved each other before they knew about each others family. I can’t say I see my grandfather often.” “Because of Marcellus?” “That and her dad is Alexander…”
“What?” “Well did you hear he took another bride like two hundred some years ago?” “Well yeah but I had no idea your mom would be his daughter. Wouldn’t she have been warned about him?” “Yeah but our last name is price from when my grandma got married.” “Oh, so how come I haven’t met your grandfather then?” “I don’t really know, I guess they split before my dad was born.” “Wow, well I am just telling you this now, no mater what happens I will always be your friend Veronica.” “Ha thanks Jacqueline.” “Sure let’s get going, alleys give me the creeps.” “Ha this coming from a vampire, anyways I need to find your brother.” “Why?” “He owes me some money.”

Chapter 5
“So have you ever been there before?” “What?” I looked over at her in the passenger seat, “You know to ‘The Cheshire Cat’?” “Oh right, um no I haven’t ever been there before though I know I few people who have been there before. They all say a bunch of college students go there.” “Oh yummy.” “What?” “Oh nothing haha, I just like college boys they have a nice taste to them.” “Um ok.” “Look Veronica I know you’re a vampire.” “Wha—your crazy vampires don’t exist.” “Yeah they do, you’re one and your entire family too. Look don’t worry I am too, and so is my brother.” “Wait, how did you find out?” “Well your scent tells it all. Also your brother was a dead give away, his pick up lines were horrible and screamed vampire.” “What did you mean by my scent?” “What you don’t know the difference between our scents and those of humans?” “Well um no…” “Aren’t you a full vampire?” “No…” “Oh my Go-” “Please don’t use that word in vain…” “Oh sorry, but your eighteen and you still haven’t sucked a humans blood?” “No, I haven’t had any reasons too. The one time I was going to he was attacked by an animal.” “Oh my, that is horrible. Well maybe you will have the chance to do that tonight.” “Maybe.” “Oh by the way my brother will be there, and he is very interested in meeting you.” “Oh don’t tell me you’re setting me up with your brother?” “Well he is a vampire and you’re vampire.” “Yeah you have a point but I have no idea who he is though.” “Don’t worry I will introduce you.” “I guess… Oh well here we are.” “So since you haven’t fully transformed yet you don’t know of the power of persuasion?” “Well I know about it but yeah I can’t use it, actually I can just it doesn’t always work.” “Wow really?” Yeah, it is weird I know…” “I think it is pretty cool actually because you can do things other vampires can’t.” “Yeah I know I am a freak?” “No your not and being normal is so over rated.” “Haha maybe your right but only.” “Good enough for me. Hey look a parking spot!” I turned into the empty spot and parked the car.
“So this brother of yours, is he meeting us here?” “Yeah, actually he is right there.” I looked up and he was standing at the end of the car. “Wow when did he get here?” “Ha he likes to do this, he actually was following us the entire time.” “Whoa really?” “Yeah he is ‘sneaky’ like that.” I looked up at him: he was really tall, taller than his sister that was for sure. He had the darkest eyes on a vampire I have ever seen. He had black hair that covered half of his face kind a like a punk style I have seen in magazines. He walked over to my door and taped on the window, I rolled down the window. “Ma’am can I see a license and registration?” “Ha why?” “For being too fine.” “Ha does that really work on girls?” “You tell me?” “Hmm needs some work. Jacqueline you didn’t tell me your brother was a flirt.” I looked over to her to see her shrug. I turned off the car and he opened my car door. “Thanks you…uh I don’t know your name.” “It is Jack.” “Nice to meet you Jack I am—” “Veronica Price, 18, about 5’9” and the most beautiful silver hair I have ever seen.” “How did you know all of this?” “I am a vampire am I not? My job is to know who is who.” “Ha I guess so.” “So shall we go on in?” “Uh sure.” He gave me his arm and I accepted it.
We walked towards the line and then kept going, “Uh where are we going?” “In.” “But the line started back there.” “Yeah but darling you’re a vampire and us vampires don’t wait in lines. Just watch.” We went up to the bouncer and asked for our names. “Stone and Price we aren’t not the list but we are a different kind of VIP.” The he got this weird look on his face and stared directly into the guys eyes. “Oh yes of course, well go right on in.” “Thank you.” We walked past the bouncer and entered the club. “How did you do that?” “The vampire art of persuasion, why? Don’t you know how to do that?” “Well no, I am not a full vampire yet.” “What! You are 18 and you’re not a full vampire yet?” “Well no, the last time I tried it didn’t end so well.” “I see. Well we will have to find you a human tonight.” “Yeah we will see how that goes.” We walked into a dark room to a curtain, then Jack pushed the curtain and I could see purple lights and strophe lights flashing. We walked out onto a platform and I could see the dance floor full of people. People dancing on the floor, sitting at the bar and the couches this is truly a sight I have never seen before. “Wow.” “Are you impressed?” “Well yeah this is so cool, I never been anywhere like this.” “Well then let’s dance then.” He offered his and led me down the stairs onto the floor. We started to dance and I realized something, from the first time I saw Jack he hasn’t taken his eyes off of me. I looked around to see where Jacqueline went. I finally looked to the bar to see her sitting with three guys drinking with them. Well she didn’t waste anytime. I wonder who she will end up drinking from. “10 bucks on the blonde one.” I looked up at him, “How did yo—” “Mind reading my dear, one of my wonderful talents.” “Oh I see. Well I say the red head.” “Fine it is a bet.” I looked out of the corner of my eye to see a figure standing at the bar staring at me. “I see you finally noticed.” “What?” “The guy at the bar, he hasn’t taken his eyes off of you since you got here. He might be the ticket.” “But I don’t know who he is.” “Well get a move on.” He turned around to start dancing with some other girl.

I walked over to the bar and took a seat a couple stools away from the guy. I took out my cell phone and pretended to be txting. “Well I haven’t seen you around here before?” I looked up to see the guy leaning on the counter. This was the first time I fully saw what he looked like. He had a total surfer’s hair style, and speaking of his hair it wasn’t blonde like most surfers it was a deep red. He had dark green eyes and he wasn’t very tan for a guy who looked like a surfer. “Hello? Earth to cute chick.” “What oh sorry I must have spaced out. And cute chick?” “Well yeah, I find you very attractive.” “Oh really?” “So do you want me to get you a drink?” “Are you legal?” “No one more year, are you?” “No, three more years.” “Oh so we got a young one here then.” “Hey I know this is forward but do you want to get out of here?” “What?” “I said do you want to get out of here?” “Well wouldn’t your boyfriend be angry?” “No he is cool, and he isn’t my boyfriend.” “Ok then lets go, uh—” “Veronica.” “William.”

Chapter 4
“Clubbing?” “Yeah Jacqueline invited me.” “Well I am not too sure about this Veronica.” “Come on mother, I am 18 I think I can handle it.” “It is true Matilda she is growing up,” my dad come up behind her and placed his hand on her shoulder, “and just imagine honey she may be able to find her type there.” “You may have a point there Martin, but what if she finds her type and she still isn’t a full vampire?” “Mother you don’t have to worry, it will happen. Now I am going to get ready now.” I walked up the stairs to my room. When you go clubbing what the heck are you suppose to wear? I looked into my closet, and tried to find something to wear. “Here.” Next thing you know I have a dress in my face. I pulled it down and saw Olivia in my doorway. “Why are you giving this to me?” “Because, if you find your type then you won’t be such a misfit.” “Gee I don’t know whether to be happy or insulted.” “Just take the dress.” “Thanks.” I looked down at the dress: it was a purplish grey with noodle straps and was about knee length. I have to find my type soon… I need to make my parents proud of me.
I got ready and looked at the clock. 7:56 Ok so she will be here any minute. I looked over to my mirror that was in the corner of the room, “I have to find that person…” Oh crap, I looked at the mirror closer and realized that the dress that was knee length on my sister only reached my thigh. Well that is great I knew I was taller than my sister but not that much taller. I don’t know if I can go like this, “Veronica your friend is here.” I heard a voice say down the stairs, but it wasn’t a voice I hear often… CRAP! I ran down the stairs to see my brother kissing Jacqueline’s hand. “Hi Jacqueline I see you met my brother Zachery and now we must go.” I grabbed her hand and lead her out the door. “Well now you met the womanizer of the family.” “What? Him? He seemed so nice.” “Ha don’t let his charm fool you.” “Ha ok I won’t. By the way your dress is awesome!” “What? Oh this, it is my sister’s. You don’t think it is a bit short?” “Oh no of course not, I mean just look at mine.” I did, her dress was a blue dress that wrapped around her neck and cut off at mid-thigh. “I guess your right.” So where are we going to go? I mean I know I few places but never been to them.” “I asked around from some people I met in the area when I went shopping for this dress and they said to go to the one in the next town over, it has a pink and purple cat on the front.” “Oh you mean the Cheshire Cat?” “Yeah that is the place.” “Ok, I have an idea of where that is at.” I walked over to the driveway and opened the garage. As the garage went up I had totally forgot what else was in the garage besides my car.
“Uh Veronica why is they a coffin in your garage?” “Oh that it is a… a Halloween decoration that never went back to storage.” “Oh ok, I guess that makes sense then.” Phew I am glad she believed that, I forgot that grandmother was sealed in there. “Hey why is it bolted down?” I looked over as she was about to touch it. “Hey um lets get going ok?” “Oh ok.” I now remember the reason for it being bolted, it is because the last time grandmother woke up she wasn’t happy to find my father married to my mother, in fact she had her witch friend turn mother into a toad. After my grandmother went back to sleep my mother bolted it shut so she couldn’t get out. I guess even us vampires don’t get along with the in-laws, although I don’t think father has every met mother’s parents. “Wow you have a nice car Veronica.” “What? Oh that thing, I guess it is ok.” “Veronica it is a freaking Hummer!” “Well I guess it is cool, I don’t use it much since I walk almost everywhere. So are you ready then?” “Yeah, sure lets go!” “Ok, here we go then.”

Chapter 3
I went out the door and there stood this rather tan girl who was pretty much a total valley girl and man she was really tall: like I am a tall person being 5’9’’ but wow she was like 6 foot. She had long black hair down to her mid back and the most striking blue eyes ever. “You must be Jacqueline.” “Yes, Jacqueline Stone. It is nice to meet you, Veronica is it?” “Yes, ha my mother must of have told you about everything there is about Me.” Apart from being a vampire I would hope. “Ha how did you know?” “Oh I know my mother, she is always talking.” “Ha ok, I hope you don’t mind walking with me to school. I don’t really know my way around the town yet.” “Oh of course not it, I know how it is to be in a new town.” Seeing how we have moved like five times thanks to big brother. “Ok well thanks.” We started to walk to the school which was only a couple blocks down the road, “So you know so much about me, yet I know nothing about you.” “Oh how rude of me. Lets see hmm, well I am a senior I live with my brother Jack but you won’t see much of him.” “Why is that?” “Well he likes to keep to himself and he is kind of gothic and likes the night ha. Also he is in the University here.” “Oh that is cool. Richmond University then?” “Yes he goes there, which he isn’t too happy about. The university requires a sort of uniform.” “Well he should be happy because at least theirs isn’t as dorky as ours.” I looked down to look at the uniform, short plaid skirt with black knee highs, a white shirt with a black jacket, and the worst part was the green tie. “Yeah you got a point there.” We laughed, for a girl who comes off as a valley girl she sure isn’t annoying. “So I have a question.” I looked at her, “What is it?” “I was wondering, why did you dye your hair silver?” “Ha oh that, well I was actually born with it.” “What! That is so cool, I wish I was born with silver hair it is so pretty.” Ha ok her comes the valley girlishness.
“Well this is it.” “Whoa it is huge!” “Ha what did you expect?” “I don’t know, so hey this isn’t an all girl school is it?” “No of course not, I would go insane.” “Ha me too, I just wanted to make sure.” “Veronica! Oh Veronica!” “Oh great…” “What?” “Amy Smith.” “Who?” “Veronica how was your summer vacation? I know we have been back in school for two weeks now but I haven’t gotten to talk to you.” There is a reason so for that. “Oh sorry I was busy with back to school things, and my vacation was very nice.” “Well I am glad to hear it; oh wow you must think I am a huge clod for not introducing myself to your new friend. Hi I am Amy Smith Class Representative.” “It is nice to meet you, I am Jacqueline Stone.” “So will you be in Class A or B?” “Class B.” “Oh you will be in class with Veronica and me.” “Oh that is great because I don’t know anyone else.” “Yeah we will be best friends, now I have to go and take care of some things see you in class.” “Bye.”
Then she finally walked away, “Wow she sure is peppy.” “Yeah doesn’t she remind you of that one girl from the movie Grease” “Oh my gosh, yes!” “Let’s get to class.” We walked in the building and went up the stairs that were on the right of the entrance. “Wow how do you not get lost in here?” “Well as big as it is there are only so many class rooms so it is kind of easy. Our class room is right there at the end of the hall.” “Ok I see it now.” We walked to the class room and took our seats which strangely as it seems the school don’t have assign seats. As soon as I sat down I felt someone jabbing at my side. I turned around and say Jeremy the school pervert. Great that is just who I want to sit behind me. “So Veronica, who is your lovely tall friend here?” “Oh right, this is Jacqueline. Jacqueline this is Jeremy the school own pervert.” “Now why do you have to be so mean Veronica?” “Just ignore him Jacqueline.” “Sure will do.” “AWWWW COME ON!” “Is there something the matter Mister Jones?” I looked up and our teacher Ms. Jefferson was standing at the front of the class, “No Ms. Jefferson I was just getting acquainted with our new student here.” “Very well, but it is time to start class. Now you can save your being a pest for after class.” The day went on and Jacqueline and I grew closer which was weird seeing how I don’t have very many friends here.
“So what did you think of the school?” “I like it; it seems like a nice place. There were some major hotties in our class.” “Yeah there are some nice looking guys in class but none of them would give me the time of day.” “Why do you say that?” “Well I am kind of a misfit.” “No? You? You got to be joking. You seem like you would have every on their hands and knees.” “Ha really?” “Well yeah, you are tall slim, tan, and you have the coolest hair. Not to mention your face doesn’t have a single flaw.” “Ha well thanks. I guess I am just not used to the idea of not being a misfit.” “Who tells you that you’re a misfit?” “My family, well not my younger sister but everyone else does.” “That is horrible, why would they say that?” “Well for my family it is true; I am not like any of them.” “And that is a bad thing? You see I am different than my family and I am happy I am. My family are freaks.” “Well thanks I guess for try to make feel better.” “Ha sure no problem, hey lets go out tonight.” “What?” “Is there any good clubs around here?” “Um not really, but a couple cities over I think there is.” “Well lets go then.” “I guess it could be fun.” “It will be fun, you will see!” “Ok I guess I will see you later tonight then.” “Yeah I will come over at like seven.” “Ok bye.” “Bye.”

Chapter 2
Entry 346 08-25-11
Hmm where do I start? I know I have said this in theses entries multiple but here it goes…Ok I am Veronica Price; I am an 18 year old vampire. I have two sisters Olivia (22) and Angel (16). I also have a brother, Zachary (24), and he isn’t around much he is always with a women every night so… oh yeah my transformation still isn’t complete till I have drunken the blood of someone who is my “blood type” as my dad puts it. I have no idea what my blood type is… he says I will just know I guess. So yeah I am the misfit of the family, all of my family has black hair, a pale complexion, and weird as it is they have purple eyes, just like every other vampire I know. When it comes to me well I have rather tan skin for a vampire because I am not allergic to the sun like my family is: they can only stay in the sun for about 4 hours. I was born with silver hair, like the color of granite. I have the darkest green eyes ever. But all of this doesn’t come close to the thing that makes me a misfit… I don’t like to suck blood, I find it gross. I will though drink blood out of a glass.
“Veronica! It is time for school young lady!” “Ok mother!” sheesh does she have to yell?
Oh yeah I forgot to mention… I am still in high school I am a senior this year. And also I am worried because some weird people moved in down the street and they don’t seem friendly.
I went down the stairs to see my mother standing at the end of them.
“Oh by the way Veronica, one of our new neighbors will be walking with you on the way to school with you.” “What!?” “Her name is Jacqueline and she is in your grade.” “And you didn’t think of running this by me first?” “Now don’t talk to your mother like that young lady.” “Fine I will walk with her… maybe…” “What did you say?” “Nothing mother dearest.” I turned from her and walked out the door.

So I started a new story cuz it came to me very randomly haha.So here is the new story... ha I don't have a title yet..

Chapter 1
“Why is it in every movie we are evil?” “Huh?” “Well look at the plot of this movie. We are creatures that kill humans and have no mind.” “Yeah well that is because the world thinks we don’t actually exist.” I looked over to Olivia sitting in her chair looking out the window. “Well maybe if we didn’t have to hide who we really are they would-” “They would hunt us! Don’t you understand Veronica? They make these movies and people believe that we would be like that.” “Well Henry wasn’t like that!” “Henry is dead!” I looked down at the floor “…look I am sorry I know how you felt about him. You know that humans who are kind to us and know us they end up dead. Just look at grandma's best friend Rick.” “Well first off he went and told the church and you know how they were back then or well just the people in general. May I remind you the Salem Witch Trials?” “I guess you have somewhat of a point there. But still humans are a hostile and violent race and they don’t deserve to live.” “There you go again Olivia, cursing the human race. Why do you hate them so? Don’t you believe in a world where we can all live together and not in secret?” “No I do not believe that and my reason for hating them is none of your business! God you’re such a misfit!” she got up from her chair and went into the other room.
I walked to the fire place across the room, there was a picture of Henry and I. “Don’t mind her Veronica, you know how she is.” I turned around and there was Angel. “Yeah I know, I just don’t understand why she hates them so much.” “I don’t think any of us will ever know…” “Argh I really am a misfit…” “Aw don’t say that. You know I am envious of you.” “You’re envious of me?” “Well you can do all these things that I can’t like be out in the sun for more than four hours. You can dye your hair; you can be around men without being thirsty, and so much more.” “That is true I guess but I don’t want to be different.” “Why not? Being different isn’t always a bad thing.” “When you’re different from your kind and different from humans yes it is.” “Well have you ever thought that your being different could help you later?” “I used to, but no I doubt it.” “Don’t give up hope sister.” “Ha Angel how is that you a 16 year old be so wise?” “Ha Veronica it has been four years since my full transformation, and I have had time to gather information.” “Yeah, here I am at 18 and I have not even had a full transformation.” “Just you wait you will soon, your just a late bloomer.” “Maybe your right Angel.” “Aren’t I always?” she turned and walked out the door. I sat down on the in Olivia’s chair and picked up my journal.
Entry 345 08-24-11
Why the heck am I such a misfit? Maybe Angel is right maybe not being allergic to the sun and having silver dye able hair and green eyes and not having the urges to suck blood will help me in the long run. But what does it truly mean to be a… Vampire?

Ch 2 of The Clash

So I finally got back to writing this, I have had my notebook with my story in my car for ages and finally got it out.


"One ticket to Erwin" "Both ways or one?" I had never thought of it before, do I want to even come back? "One way please." "That will be five dollars then." I handed him the five dollars and took the ticket. With my luck the train had just rolled in to the station. I got on to the train, put away my luggage, and took my seat. I looked around, being that it was nine o'clock it was pretty dead. It was a 6 hour ride to Erwin then I would have to drive the rest of the way to Elizabethton. My seat was in the back of the train car where the seats faced each other. Right before the train was about to leave a man came stumbling in and sat in the seat facing me and his luggage flopping to the ground. Great a drunk that is all I need right now.
"No one is sitting here right? Ma'am?" "What? Oh no, no one is sitting there." so maybe he isn't drunk then. "Glad to hear it, my name is Henry." He was a taller man from what I could tell, he had strawberry blond hair with a scruffy looking beard. He wore a plaid shirt and ripped blue jeans. His eyes were something like I had never seen before, so warm and inviting yet they seemed as if the could look right through you. The color was even more astounding, they were a light green almost gray with a deep evergreen border around them. "Uh this is usually when you introduce yourself." "Huh what? Oh sorry. I am Aubrey." "Well Aubrey where are ya from?" "Nashville, and you?" "Actually right outside Nashville I worked on my parent's farm," oh a farm boy huh? "so where ya heading Miss Aubrey? If ya don't mind me asking?" "Oh I don't mind at all, I am heading to Elizabethton, well Erwin and then to Elizabethton. How about yourself?" "Me? Well I am not too sure, you see this was a last minute decision for me. I am heading to Erwin as of right now, but from there I am not sure," Oh so he isn't a planner, not too surprising. "I guess I will just try and find a good college and try my hand at country singing." "So you sing then?" "Well sure, well never in front of anyone." "So that is why you left the farm?" "Yes, that and me and my folks don't see eye to eye. They want me to take over the farm and it is hard work and I enjoy it but it just isn't for me. But I guess a city slicker like yourself wouldn't understand that." "A city slicker like me?" "Well yeah, just look at ya. Your hair is all fancy like, your clothes look like something out a magazine, and you seem like ya never worked a day in your life." "Well at least I have proper grammer, you, you hick!" I got up and sat down on the other side of the isle. How dare he talk to me like that.
