Chapter 5

I layed down on the bed thinking about what Breaden had said, I would have to ask Kyle about it in school today I concluded in my mind. I washed up quickly and wore the clothes which I had seen on the night stand when I woke up. It was a black leather jacket and leather pants which made me feel more..... dangerous but I had no choice than to wear what had been given to me.

I searched a little bit for Breaden but couldn’t find him until I heard a sound outside. Breaden was there warming up his car and he looked hot as usual. I stood for sometime admiring before he looked up and we stared at each other.

“Do you want to ride with me today?" he asked, amused by my expression as he caught me by surprise . There was uncertainty in his voice. He was really giving me a choice - I was free to refuse, and part of him hoped for that. It was a vain hope.

"Yes, thank you," I said, trying to keep my voice calm. As I stepped into the warm car, I noticed his tan jacket was slung over the headrest of the passenger seat. The door closed behind me, and, sooner than should be possible, he was sitting next to me, starting the car.

We drove through the fog-shrouded streets, always too fast, feeling awkward. I was, at least trying to make a conversation but everything I said was answered with a shrug and with that I gave up.

” Have an anchor be focused on something, then you will be able to control your urge” he said as we pulled over at the school parking lot.

There were lot of eyes looking our way as soon as we got out of the car, everyone wanted to know how I had ended up with the hot new guy. I could hear what some of them were saying

“ why the hell is she with him”

” who the hell is that girl”

I could hear almost all their voices and it was overwhelming. I decided to play it cool and pretend to not hear any of them.

Under the shelter of the cafeteria roof's overhang, Kyle was waiting, his eyes about to bug out of their sockets.

"Hey, Kyle" I said when we were a few feet away. "Thanks for taking care of my car." I said as he handed me my car keys without speaking probably because of Breaden behind me

"Good morning, Kyle," Breaden said looking at Kyle with utter disgust.

"Er... hi." He shifted his wide eyes to me, trying to gather her jumbled thoughts. "Well you seem alright ." He gave me a meaningful look, and I suppressed a sigh. How on earth was I going to tell him he came from a family of vampire hunters and that one day I was going to be hunted.

” Kyle could we talk after school there’s something I need to talk to you about

"Yeah, I'll see you then."

He walked away, pausing twice to peek back over his shoulder at us.

"What are you going to tell her?" Breaden murmured.

"Hey, I thought you couldn't read my mind!" I hissed.

"I can't," he said, startled. "However, I could compel him "

Ignoring him I walked towards my next class.

The day went by really fast which was probably in my head since all I could think of how to tell Kyle about what breaden had told me the night before.

“ Eva” I heard my name from a far corner but saw no one.

I ignored it and went towards my car where Kyle was already standing probably as anxious as I felt.

The ride to Breaden’s was shorter than I expected. Kyle drove faster than usually, I could feel he was scared but didn’t want to show or say anything and I didn’t want to push him into telling me.

“ so what’s going to happen now” Kyle said anxiously

“ well first you should probably ask your family” Breaden said coming out of nowhere

“ what do u mean ask my family “

” you haven’t told him yet” Breaden said pointing his head towards me

” tell me what??! Eva what is he talking about”

” well........I think your family are vampire hunters......although we don’t know for sure....just a hunch”I stammered

“ fuck sake Eva, you stay with a stranger for one day and then you think my family is filled with vampire hunters, what next your mum is a zombie” I couldn’t help but laugh at the last pert before comporting myself

“ Have you ever felt like your family was keeping something from you” Breaden ask Kyle. Who just stood without saying anything

“ well sometimes.... but all parents are like that... so that doesn’t prove anything.”

I stroll towards the kitchen and quickly peeled some fresh apples that were laying on the kitchen counter then went back to the sitting room. Both guys looking at me like I had done something wrong.

“ well am hungry or can’t I eat again “

” why don’t you try confirming it yourself “ Breaden said ignoring me

” of course but how??”

“ well as far as I can remember your family house has an underground, start from there and it needs to be done tonight.”

” I don’t take orders from you” Kyle said angrily

“ oh you definitely will or I could just snap your neck like a twig” Breaden said walking towards Kyle

I walk towards them using my newly found vampire power. Standing in between both of them

” You guys need to calm down and yes Kyle we need to check tonight, I will go with you.”

“ No it’s too dangerous for you, they will be able to sense you”
