Chapter 6: Blood and secrets

I woke up in a cavern with candles everywhere. I hear whispers coming from outside. My skin has a glow to it but I know I'm technically dead. My hair changed from brown to pure black.

"Hello?" I yelled

The voices stopped. Then loud footsteps started approaching the cavern. Jessie and his mother Heather.

"Jessie? Heather? What am I doing here?" I asked

"I saw you outside of your house. When I went to see if your okay I noticed you got bit by a vampire" Jessie said

"So Jessie came and got me then we brought you here to make sure nobody knows" Heather said

"Why is my hair black?" I asked

They just stared at eachother for a few moments then Heather came forward.

"we're not sure exactly we've never seen this before"

"and this cavern is spiritual we don't know why but when our family got turned into vampires we came here. We thought it would help you too." jessie said

Jessie looked at his mother and motioned them to step outside the cavern.

I knew they were hiding something from me. That's why I casted a spell to hear what they're saying.

"Mother! Why did you lie Rogan? You know she's the prophecy" Jessie said

"that's why she must never know, yes she can be the one to save supernatural creatures but, she can also be the downfall if she gives in to her dark side. You know as well as I do that dark side is going to seduce her"

"How do you know he's on his way to claim her? "

"The darkness is always close especially for us vampires"

Darkness? Since when was darkness a person? And who is this darkness? I'm so confused I feel like Anna from Freaky Friday when she woke up as her mother.

Heather didn't come back into the cavern. Jessie looked worried even when he's trying not to show it on his face.

Guurgggg!!!

Jessie looked at me with a grin on face. I just smiled nervously.

"I must be hungry" I said

Come to think of it I haven't ate in hours. Not even cake from the ball.

"I know a great place where we can eat"

"where?" I asked

He took me to a run down bar. When we entered it smelled like vomit and beer. I must admit though I've always wanted to be in a place like this. Not having to dress nice just to get a meal.

We went up to the bar and saw an older gentleman as the bartender.

"Henry!"

As Jessie was waving at him.

"Get me and the lady here something to eat!"

The old man grabbed a couple glasses. Then poured blood from a spout into the glasses.

"Blood on tap?" I asked

"this place is for supernatural creatures to hang out at and be themselves" Jessie explains

The bartender slides our drinks to us. I looked inside the glass. The blood was dark and thick. Something like this would normally gross me out but in this case my mouth was watering waiting to taste this liquid.

I chugged it.

"Jesse I don't know if I can go home. I'm not ready to tell them."

"You don't have to. You can stay at my place for as long as you need. Your my girlfriend and I love you. I just want you to be happy."

I gave him a small grin.

"I love you too"

The bartender asked Jesse to step aside.

"Henry what is it?" Jesse asked

"I know you turned her"

"How did you know?"

"just a lucky hunch"

Henry put his hand on Jesse's right shoulder.

"Trust me I won't tell" Henry continued

"and when are you gonna tell her?" Jesse asked

"Tell her what?"

"that your her father"

Henry looked at Rogan.

"Now is not the time I'll tell her when she's ready to hear the truth but, promise me that when I tell her you have to tell her your secret also"

"Deal"

Then they shook hands.
