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.”
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.

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.
“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!”

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.
“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 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.”
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?
