Trinity's Blood, authoroffantasy [best books to read in your 20s txt] 📗

I could think of that would be evil was me going to sleep while the guests were still here.
“I saw nothing.”
The Night Council gasped in astonishment. I just closed my eyes, I didn’t need to see their faces…they were shocked.
“What do you mean by nothing, she has no thoughts, your power didn’t work?”
“No I saw so much good in her and no evil. This has been the first time, ever, that I’ve seen that.”
“Well is that a good thing, Kendrew?”
“Yes, I suppose so.”
“Then to my daughter, I purpose a toast, of her good and unusual fortune.”
William was well kept but I knew everyone was wondering about what Kendrew, the Night Council Leader, had seen in me. They were thinking of how my mind worked, of how I worked, so differently. Truth is I had no idea either. They all raised their cups though, full of blood, and drank. I raised my cup and drank some water. This was going to be a long night, perfect.
“Hey, Trinity, over here.”
I was busy either getting caught up in another vampire’s power or conversation of vampire things which I knew nothing about. I had to admit it was fascinating to learn such things and hear of such creatures out and about but the real thing I wanted to do was ask Kendrew of what it was he really saw. Is it just some kind of aurora he sees or is it memories of good times I’ve had and nothing else. Whatever it was I wanted to know more about it.
“Excuse me, Kendrew, but I was wondering if I could speak to you alone.”
Kendrew didn’t even turn around but kept talking to the other man who looked to be a great warrior of some type. I tapped Kendrew’s shoulder but he only flinched in response.
“Night Council leader I do think it I s very rude to ignore a lady and I do apologize if I’m butting in but that gives you no right to act like I’m not here.”
Kendrew bowed his head and the soldier did too, then the warrior left and Kendrew turned towards me. He sighed and looked me over.
“Your face tells me that you have a great question to ask and that you are strong enough to declare for it now and to hear what is needed to be said…right?”
“Yes, I want to know what you saw.”
The vampires around the room stopped in midsentence and Kendrew didn’t look so happy. He grabbed my arm and pulled me outside. We walked a ways and when we were far enough he stopped and I fell to the ground. I finally noticed he had been in such an urge that he didn’t even recognize that I had fallen. I stood up and brushed my dress off. It was very cold out and I shivered.
“I’m sorry I should’ve brought a coat for you, human.”
“No, thank you.”
“Look, I don’t mean to be rude but whenever I tell you what you show then you agree. You don’t ask me because you are supposed to trust the Night Council leader. And I cannot tell you what your mind tells me, it’s just there. I don’t even remember any of it; I have to say it in a matter of seconds to the person. We, Night Council leaders, always have unique powers that people never really know of. Mine has only come around once a few hundred years and I was lucky to have gotten mine about 900 years ago when I was turned. Do you understand?”
“Yes, I’m sorry.”
“That’s alright just don’t let it happen again.”
We started to walk back to the house and I didn’t say another word to Kendrew unless he’d start to speak to me. But he didn’t, he kept quiet too for he knew we were both wanting to know about the other’s mind and how it worked but it’d be rude to ask.
“Kendrew, Trinity, where were you guys?”
Tristian came up and hugged me tightly and all I could do was shrug. Tristian right away noticed my frowning and looked over at Kendrew. And right away I saw Tristian turn into his vampire self.
“What did you say to her?”
Kendrew did not respond but kept walking over to his fellow people. That’s when Tristian lashed out at Kendrew and I saw the crash right in front of me. After that is was all a blur of some sort…Devin picked me up and ran to the room, Puppet following after, Devin left and I heard the bangs in the living room, I didn’t even think all I could do was dream.
“Do you see me?”
I followed the voice down the forest grounds and came to a stop when I saw Kendrew. He was smiling and he reached his hand out to hold mine and I let him. He pulled me near and bent my head back and lashed out for my throat.
“Night Council leader, Kendrew, I wish to have your power.”
“My dear wife, Trinity, you already own it.”
“Ahh!”
I awoke to the ceiling fan hanging above me making strange noises and suddenly it fell and luckily I moved out of the way in time. Puppet ran up into the room and closely behind was Reese, all the girls were here now, and maybe I could ask them a few personal questions while we talk about what just happened.
“I should’ve sensed that the fan was going to fall, that’s strange.”
Reese picked it up and threw it to the side and sat down. Reese wasn’t so kind to me, she didn’t really like me at all but I trusted my life with her. After all you can’t pick family.
“Yeah, strange,” was all I could say to her.
Puppet realized I wasn’t much for the oatmeal she had brought to the room and all I could do was stare at the fan. What did my dream mean? Maybe the girls could tell me?
“Puppet, Reese, before you were umm bitten did you have dreams about powers you’d have when you were a vampire?”
They both reacted with a shocked look between them and then at me.
“What power did your dream tell you?”
Puppet was serious, which scared me to no end.
“I had a dream that Kendrew had bitten me and I had his power, you know to see if you’re evil or good, erase memories that are bad, stuff like that.”
“Oh no, do not tell Tristian!”
“Why not?”
Reese looked over at me.
“Because, idiot, that means that it will happen to you and Tristian wanted to turn you the day before your timed death.”
“Oh.”
I pondered over what she had said, if that was true then it didn’t matter what Tristian power was and it shouldn’t be a surprise anymore.
“What is Tristian’s power?”
“We aren’t supposed to say…”
“Please, my dying wish here.”
“Fine.”
Puppet sat down at the other end and looked straight into my eyes.
“His power is…to switch between a human and a vampire in a time when needed the most. That’s why we thought his power might help you when you were haunted by Felix because his power has always been connected with humans and vampires alike. It is the first time in vampire life that a power has not been recognized or shared with another. He’s like ancient to the Night Council and Kendrew…why would Kendrew go behind his back?”
“I don’t know but in my dream there was also another thing he said…”

“What?”
“He called me his wife.”

Puppet and Reese rushed out of the room and came back in.

“Here read this…”

Puppet handed me a big old black book that held the golden letters Vampire Rules on it, I opened the book to the page Puppet had marked with a sticky note. I read the lines in the book aloud so they could hear too.

“A human, if wanted by a vampire, will be turned soon enough. First the human has a dream of the vampire, telling what power the human will have or if he/she won’t have one. And on rare occasions a vampire will choose to marry this human during the turning. If this happens and the human becomes husband or wife to the vampire during the change, the newly turned vampire will then be connected to that vampire for eternity, forever loving the sire with undying passionate longing. If another vampire does try to come between the two, the newly turned wife or husband will be then told by the sire to kill the vampire. And the newly turned vampire will do so.”

That defiantly wasn’t what I was expecting.
