the gold eyes sat next to me he said his name was Kale. I was amazed at how good looking he was he had tan skin and amazing gold eyes I could’ve melted in. I played it cool and dropped him hints and I’m a pretty good looking girl but he didn’t seem affected. He told me that I was a werewolf and that I had to run away. I was so excited I get to go run off with this hot boy.
I blinked in surprise; I didn’t know how into him she was, although I wasn’t surprised at how shallow her diary entry was. She abandoned her whole family she had to be more sentimental then this.
I flipped through the book to the nearest entry and it turned out to be from the night I was changed.
Dear Diary,
I did something really bad. Really, really bad, I’m so ashamed in myself and I will never tell anyone as long as I live. Tonight we were running through the woods hunting like usual, then suddenly we heard a scream it was late even by our standards so we were to say the least surprised. We then heard a girl’s voice shriek “vampire” and Kale was off before I knew it. We followed after, swerving in and out of trees nearly missing them and found a girl and boy being held captive by vampires. The girl was bleeding from the neck and head in fact she was covered in blood. She looked pale and her big green eyes were wide in fear, it was amazing she wasn’t dead. She was fighting and one of the vampires was shot in the head. We ran out and ripped them to shreds she sent her brother to someone’s house staying to distract us.
Kale cautiously approached her and she seemed nervous but she pets his head and started to smile. She looked like a stupid china doll. She was short and had no boobs and yet Kale seemed to be attracted to her. He was nice to everyone but he was more understanding and lenient with her, he was happier and tried to spend as much time with her as he could. He was extremely protective of her and he had never been that way with me. So I got him drunk and mixed some pain killers with the alcohol and I had sex with him. When he woke up in the morning instead of being excited he was shocked and horrified and said that he wasn’t interested in getting involved with me and then left. I hate that stupid little bitch what does she have I don’t I’m way prettier than her.
I felt anger rear its ugly head, she was now not only selfish but a whore and she had also insulted me only because of her own insecurities. She raped Kale she raped him. I threw the journal across the room and stormed out.
Kale followed, “Wait what’s wrong?”
I shook my head “trust me when I say you don’t want to know.”
Kale frowned, “I wouldn’t be so sure about that.”
I turned to him, “Are you sure I belong with you guys?”
Kale nodded, “yes I can tell you were meant to be one of us I know you’re technically half and half but you aren’t selfish that’s why you belong with us.”
I thought about how I left them before to kill that vampire, “don’t be so sure.”
I had written the letter and sent it anxiously, I was excited for the response it was amazing of Tristan to send me a letter about how Daddy and Adoni were doing. Although I had to admit that the fact Tristan knew where we were was alarming. However I was relieved nevertheless it was a relief to know someone from my old life could know all this new stuff; well not all he wasn’t aware I was also part vampire he thought I was just a werewolf. There really was no point in me hiding it but I just couldn’t manage to tell him something was holding me back for some reason I just didn’t trust him with that knowledge yet.
As for being a werewolf it seemed like to be a part of the pack I would have to remain quiet and walk on eggshells I needed to be especially cautious of Meg. So far my best ally was Kale since he knew everything; everything except that I have to drink blood, but no one knew that. I didn’t dare keep a journal in case the wrong person found it. I didn’t know who to vent to or to trust.
Kale came into me and Meg’s room smiling, “Come on Skylar it’s time for more training.”
I smiled weakly, I still had bruises and the cut on my face from last time when I fought with Derek and he hasn’t talked to me since. So now I only had one ally Kale and I had to keep him on my side, if that meant lots of training then so be it.
We all got dressed and walked to the outskirts of New York City again to the same old abandoned, semi- creepy factory. This time we were in a really dark room with only 1 dim swinging light underneath it was a set of fake vampire teeth.
“What the hell is this?” I looked to Kale confused.
He grinned, “Your next challenge, you and Gerard are going to play steal the bacon with these fake vampire teeth. If you don’t know steal the bacon is a game, there is an item placed between two people on opposite sides of the room. They have to race to grab the item in the middle; whoever gets it first wins a point. There will be 3 rounds. Ready?”
I shrugged, “sure ready as I’ll ever be.” I thought it was kind of stupid to replicate hunting vampires through a game especially because I killed one and shot another in the head. Then again they knew a lot more about this stuff then I did.
Kale placed the vampire teeth down on a chair in the center of the room, above it the dim light swung back and forth hypnotically and I watched as Gerard slipped into the shadows, I walked up simply and reached for the vampire teeth suddenly I was quickly spun around, I fell to the floor dizzily. I looked up and saw Gerard smiling mockingly down at me holding the toy vampire teeth. His pale skin and white hair looked even more alien because he was surrounded by darkness his grin was sharp and cold like a blade. In fact everything about him made me think of cold he reminded me of a blizzard. He was blank, nothing but white.
“I really expected more from you Halfling must say I’m very disappointed.”
Kale took the set of fake vampire teeth and set them on the chair again and made us get back on opposite sides; Kale grinned and winked at me.
“Show this moron what you can do.”
I smiled feeling my confidence swell a bit. I didn’t respond though out of fear I couldn’t live up to what I’d say.
This time I slipped into the shadows, watching and waiting for Gerard to make his move. At first it seemed like he’d never move and then in one quick instant he leaped into the light reaching for the vampire teeth. I quickly ran then slid towards the chair like a baseball player slides to home plate. Then I quickly hooked my foot around one of the chairs legs and flipped it upside down then kicked the chair towards him. Sending Gerard flying I then picked the toy fangs off the floor smiling.
Kale whistled and clapped no one else seemed amused. I smiled weakly and looked over to see Gerard clearly ticked off. I sighed I thought we were supposed to go rough on each other, am I supposed to hold back? Why was everyone so sore with me? I was just trying to play the game.
Gerard got up his blue eyes now cutting through me, promising bitter violence. I shivered believing every bit of cold hearted vengeance that was shining through his eyes. I gave the fake vampire teeth to Kale who was grinning from ear to ear then put the vampire teeth on the chair. “Good job kid.”
I smiled sheepishly at Kale, I was glad he was proud of me but I wish that his feelings were mutual throughout the pack. Gerard growled crouching as if to lunge he then slowly backed away into the shadows until once again he was invisible. I slowly backed up until I as well was plunged into the darkness.
“Use your wolf eyes,” the she wolf advised. It had been awhile since I’d heard from her, I had forgotten how relaxing her “voice,” was.
I nodded I tried to penetrate the veil of darkness, and eventually I was able to however one eye saw everything in varying shades of red while another saw only outlines of gold. I guessed that this was just another quirk of being part werewolf part vampire. I finally found Gerard, in the red vision (vampire –vision) I could clearly see his veins arteries, and most prominent, his heart. In the gold vision I saw his outline and then next to him the outline of a wolf. I saw both make a step toward the chair, his heart was beating rapidly and I could see that his head was turning side to side cautiously he then began to quicken his pace. I ran over without a sound so that I was behind him. Gerard went to take another step but I grabbed his shoulder and violently threw him down to the ground I then proceeded to run towards the chair when I felt Gerard yank me back by the foot so that I fell to the ground. I heard his feet slapping the floor ahead of me I then lifted up my head and jumped to my feet. I sprinted over to him then lunged tackling him so he narrowly missed the chair. He backslapped me, leaving me stunned and then rolled onto me and growled pinning my hands over my head. I froze I should’ve reacted but I couldn’t my mind was working too slow to contemplate what he was doing. Suddenly light shown throughout the room making Gerard and I both wince.
I closed my eyes tightly trying to adjust them to the light but I heard Derek chuckle, “Wow new girl works fast.” I hope this joking meant he was over me beating him.
I heard a snarl and a huge thump, the pressure over me was gone, I finally opened my eyes to see a worried Kale.
“You okay?”
“Yeah,” I said rubbing my head, “where is Gerard?”
I looked across the room to see Gerard crumpled against the floor on the opposite wall. Not too far above him there was a gaping hole in the wall which I assumed was created by the impact of his body against it.
I ran over to his side, “Are you okay?!” I looked back and forth between Kale and Gerard.
Gerard said keeping his head down, “I acted inappropriately, I apologize.”
I looked at him confused and raised his chin “No you didn’t we were fighting.”
“You don’t get it,” Gerard said, “Kale will explain to you later,” he then got up and brushed off rubble and dirt from his clothes and walked out of the room, head down and eyes down.
I looked at Kale and the rest of the pack confused, and they all looked at me back with careful, blank expressions. “Leave us,” Kale commanded. Jason and Derek left without a question but Meg hesitated looking pleadingly
