My Secret, Breanna Davis [thriller novels to read .TXT] 📗

/> I saw Blaze crying over her as she coughed in his arms. Blaze was covered in Iris' blood. Chris was crying and patting her hair back.
I ran over to them, praying that Iris wouldn't die. I couldn't let another person close to me die.
"Iris! Please, don't die."
She looked at me and a faint smile touched her lips.
"I won't," she gasped.
I shook my head as tears spilled down my cheeks. There goes that gasping sound. It was the same sound Jake made before he died.
"She's dead!" I heard Chris yelp.
He drop to the floor and shook with tears.
I looked at my sister. Her dark brown hair was soaked in blood and her face was pale. Blood covered her face and torso.
I touched her cheek, silently. It was still warm. Just like how Jake's body was warm.
Tears slid down my face as I backed away.
Blaze looked at me.
"We have to call mom."
I shook my head.
"I can't deal with this, Blaze. Too many deaths for me. I just can't. I can't."
I started walking out the cafeteria. I ran from the school hoping everything was just a dream and I would wake up in Jake's arms. Jake will snuggle me closer and tell me it was just a dream. We'll make love and then I'll get dress for school. Blaze will try to get on my nerves and Iris will ask for all my stuff. Everything will be back to normal.
I sat down on the sidewalk and held my head between my hands. Anger tears streamed down my face. I didn't wipe them away. I wanted everyone to know that I was sad. I wanted everyone to know that people were dropping dead like dominoes. I chuckled darkly.
I grabbed my hair and pulled as hard as I could. The pain satisfied me. I gritted my teeth and started pounding me head. Nothing made sense anymore! How did I go to a track star to a person who's loved ones keep dying? Who was next? My twin? My mother? My father? Me?
I shook my head angrily. I pounded my head harder and harder. I couldn't stand my life! Death was a bitch!
I kept pounding my head, until hands wrapped around my wrist.
I kick whoever touched me. I punched and kicked and released my anger and pain and loss on this person. I knew if I didn't stop I was really going to hurt this person, because I was using all my strength. Though, I wasn't very strong I wasn't weak either.
"Amelia! It's me Malcolm. Do you mind to stop hitting me?"
I stopped at the familiar voice.
"Malcolm?"
"Yes," he said and dropped my hands.
I put my hands in my laps and looked down. I didn't want him to see me cry.
"Was she your sister?"
I looked up at him and saw understanding clear on his face.
I nodded.
"Yeah. The worse part about it all is that it happened to my boyfriend too."
He looked down.
"I'm sorry, Amelia. I had no clue."
I smiled.
"Hey,, don't feel bad for me." I insisted.
He looked up and smiled back at me.
The smiled was brilliant and gorgeous. It look sexy on him and I calmed down a bit. I wanted to kiss him and forget everything.
And as if he could read my mind he said, "Amelia, can I kiss you?"
I nodded and leaned in to him.
He leaned in closer to me, and my heart nearly stopped. Then, my lips met his. The kiss was sweet, and yet hot. I wanted to get naked right there, but fought the urge to do so. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned into kiss. He moaned and I tightened my grip around his neck.
Then, I heard a heartbreaking yelp.
I pulled back and looked around, but I didn't find anybody.
I looked back at Malcolm who was also looking around, and then I noticed his eyes were red.
I stood up and started backing away.
He looked up at me, confused and stood up too.
"Amelia?"
"Your eyes." I gasped.
"They are red."
He blinked and his eyes went back to its normal color.
"I'm sorry, It happens from time to time."
I shook my head.
"You see Amelia, my eyes always does that. It runs in my family."
"You promise?"
"Yes," he said sincerely.
I exhaled and I felt a bit better.
He smiled at me.
"Did you think I was a monster?"
I giggled.
"No. Just a demon child."
He tilted his head back and laughed softly.
Then, he took my hand.
"You should go home,"
He cleared his throat.
"Today must've really been hard on you, seeing your sister like that. I guess I should let you tell your mom about the loss."
I looked down. "Yeah."
"Bye," he said and walked back into the school.
I swallowed hard, realizing what I had just done.
I kissed somebody else besides Jake.
And, I didn't regret. Tears filled my eyes, as I realized I was a bad person. I forgot about Jake. I wiped away the tears and looked up at the sky.
"I'm so sorry, Jake."
Then, I headed for my car.


When I reached home nobody was there. At least I didn't have to face reality yet. I headed for my room and plopped down my bed. I took off my shoes and snuggled underneath the covers. I closed my eyes and dreamed.
I was expecting to see the same meadow I kept dreaming since Jake's death. but instead I saw Jake, crying.
My chest hurt at the sight of him in pain. He was in a tree, and his light green eyes was filled with tears and I could see sorrow plain on him. I saw betrayal in his eyes and loneliness.
His head was bowed as he shook with tears, then he looked up again and his eyes widen. He yelped a familiar heartbreaking sound. He gripped his chest and closed his mouth shut, tight. I could see pain on his face and he buried his face in his arms.
"Amelia. I shouldn't have let you go," The words were clear.
My eyes opened and I realized I was in my room. Tears filled my eyes. "Jake," I sobbed. "Where are you?"
I sniffled and wiped my face, before I realized something else; Iris was dead. I shook with new sorrow.
"Iris," I sniffled.
I got out of my bed and dragged myself out my room. I had to tell my mom, if Blaze didn't already tell her.
I walked into the kitchen where I saw Blaze and mom looking at each other, not talking. Blaze's face looked confused while mom had a smile on her face.
"Amelia, I have to talk to you and your brother,"
I stepped all the way into the kitchen and looked at my mom.
"He told you?"
She nodded.
"But, I already knew this was going to happen since yesterday."
I was confused.
I looked at Blaze and he looked back at me and shrugged.
"What do you mean? If you knew this was going to happen, why didn't get help?"
"Because there is no stopping it."
"You should've told us!" I said getting mad.
"Amelia, Blaze. I have to tell you guys a little about our family history."
Secrets Unfold

"What about it?" I asked sitting down in a chair.
"A lot." She said and sat down too. Blaze stood where he was and looked at my mother.
"Let me start with Jake, first."
My heart fluttered at his name.
"He's dead, I know."
"He isn't dead, Amelia." she said placing her hand on my shoulder.
"I saw him die, mom."
"That was just a part of the change."
"What change?" Blaze asked.
"The change of becoming a vampire."
"A vampire?" Me and Blaze asked in unison.
My mother nodded.
"A vampire."
"I don't understand. You are saying that Jake is a vampire?"
She looked at me.
"Yes. And so are you two and Iris. Your father and I are also vampires."
I shook my head.
"Vampires aren't real."
"They are."
"Prove it."
"I cannot. At least not yet. My power is not one that can just be shown off."
"Your power?" I asked.
"So, you are saying that we are vampires with super powers?" Blaze asked.
"I wouldn't say super powers, but yes."
"I don't believe this."
"Even though you don't believe me now I must tell you about the concept of being a vampire,"
"Of course you are going to have a taste for blood. If you drink a fair amount of blood when you first wake up as a vampire, you won't be ravenous. You'll still need blood a one a month."
"Why do you die when you become a vampire?" I blurted out.
She smiled.
"Because your heart is dying out. Your heart is trying to stop so your vampire genes can kick in. So, you cough, then second by second it gets worse, soon you start coughing up blood then, your heart stops. When the vampire genes do kick in your heart beats again, but quicker, faster and harder, and most off, fiercer. It does hurt when you change into a vampire, but when your heart stops it goes away.
"After you get your share of blood your 'super powers' come in. Most have one, twins, such as you two, have three or four. Then, there are rare ones that can have up to ten different powers."
I gasped.
"Ten?"
She nodded.
"And Jake is one of them,"
"Jake has ten super powers?"
She nodded.
" He only knows of two. Seeking into someone's dreams and controlling emotions, but there is many to go."
Seeking into someone's dreams? That explains how he kept coming into my dreams! Jake was alive! I can snuggle into his arms and kiss him again!
I felt happy tears fill my eyes.
"Thank you for telling me that, mom" I said hugging her.
She hugged me back then she pulled back.
"I had to."
Then, she cleared her throat.
"Twins usually have telepathy, and can inherit each others powers."
I gasped and Blaze.
"I'm going to be able to read Amelia's mind?"
She nodded.
"Just each others, though.
"Then, there is the sexual part of being a vampire. When you bite somebody, human or vampire, you imprint with them. If you do not wish to imprint with them and just suck their blood, then you must suck and do not bite. When a vampire imprint with somebody it is permanent and can only be broken if one dies."
A silent moment passed between us.
"How long until we change?" Blaze asked.
"Two days."
"How do you know?" I asked.
"Because I gave to birth to you. When I did give birth to you I was given a day that you will change."
"Two days until I feel the pain . . ." I mumbled.
"Well, I'm tired. I think I'm
