| �Don�t be. You two getting along?� �Oh, we�re having fun,� Miss Winters said. �Oh, I can bet. I�m gonna go look for something. I�ll be back.� �Okay babe.� I smiled and walked away, walking up the drive. I kept thinking about what the chief said. That �when we arrived, the fire had just started.� That wouldn�t happen unless this fire was rigged. But how the hell would you be able to do that? If you lived a long time, I�m sure you would start coming up with stuff. I walked around for a few before I saw a wire. I followed it with my eyes and noticed it was almost a straight line to the house. �Kevin!� I yelled. I saw him still talking to the reporter and I fumed. �Jose!� I screamed. �Damn it,� I mumbled. �Would somebody get the fuck over here?� I saw some guys turn and they came running. �What�s up boss?� Jose asked. �Give me a pair of gloves and an evidence bag.� �Yes ma�am.� He ran to his car and got me a bag. He came back and handed me what I asked for. I picked up the cord and started rolling it. I walked all the way to the house and rolled the cord up. I stuffed it in the bag and walked around the house. �What are you trying to find?� a voice asked me. I straightened up and I could feel his presence. He ran his hand down my arm and I could feel the goose-bumps come up. �You seem to only get prettier over the years.� �Is that a bad thing?� �I�m not sure. Are you dating that Kevin?� �I suppose.� �Are you not mine?� �I hardly remember you. I didn�t even know you were back till you had your first feed.� �Oh, she wasn�t my first. Just the first one you I�d let you find.� �How long will this go on?� �Forever or until we kill one another. But now that I found you, I�m not going to hurt you.� �Howard,� I whispered. �What, my love?� I snapped out of the trance when I heard someone coming. �You�re getting old. Someone is�� �Coming. I�ll catch you later love.� As quickly as he came, he left. I rubbed my eyes and turned around. �I�ve been looking for you.� �Whatever. I didn�t know that talking to Miss Winters consisted of looking for me.� �It�s not what you think.� �Oh, it�s not? Than why is her number on your hand?� �How did you know?� �I saw it. Whatever though.� I walked right by him and tripped over the bag I had dropped. My body landed with a thud and shortly after, I felt someone picking me up. �Alexander, get me a wet cloth. This blood is still coming.� �Yes Howard.� I moaned and fluttered my eyes open. I grabbed my head and shivered. �Why does this keep happening to me?� �Simple. This is the way you are to remember. I�d never meant to bring you pain, the memories was supposed to come in your dreams. But I soon learned you don�t sleep right, so therefore, this was the only way my love.� �I think I understand. Where am I?� �Where you belong. With me.� �Howard, I can�t be here. I don�t belong here.� �Theresa, how can you say that? You�ve been mine since before the dawn of time. That is the way it is supposed to be. If you think you don�t, I�ll easily end your life as well as mine and than you will understand.� �No, that�s quite okay. So, how long where I stay here?� �Why forever my lady,� Kevin said. I looked around me and nodded my head. �I suppose that�s a grand thing?� �Why, of course it is Theresa,� Alexander said. �I see. And what am I? �To describe you is not easy,� Brian said. �You�ve lived ever sense your mother bore you in 1764,� Alexander said. �I�m over 200 years old?� �Yes,� Howard said. �I find that hard to believe. I�m only 24.� �No, that�s how old you think you are,� Nickolas said. �What do you mean?� �You were put under a spell so that you do not remember how old you are or the past. We let you only briefly let you remember little pits and pieces,� Kevin answered. �Like when I first met you, I than dreamt that night about meeting you the first time?� �Though, when we first met you, we hadn�t planned on it,� Brian said. �Meaning?� �I ran into you, only looking for a feeding. I had the chance, but as soon as I saw you and your eyes, I had realized who you were,� Alexander said. �I understand.� �We�ve been searching you for a while. We�ve been awake for quite sometime and usually you come to me,� Howard said. �But when you didn�t come, we had to find you, and that wasn�t easy,� Kevin said. �I know that wasn�t.� �So, what else would you like to know?� �What am I? How did I live so long?� �You are what we call, a vamp child. Meaning, you have the blood of a vampire flowing through your veins. Through some ancestry, you acquired it,� Kevin explained. �My mom, Rochelle?� �Oh yes, that�s right,� Howard answered. �She was quite lovely. A very dear friend of ours.� �How did I become this?� �I believe she feel in love with Scott. A vampire that was close with us but got himself killed,� Alexander answered. |
