Vampire Love For The Cold - Charlotte Taylor (fiction book recommendations TXT) 📗

in my head as i brushed through my silver/black hair. I looked at Kirsty from the corner of my eye, she was looking at some book.

*
'What's that?' Abigayle stood up and lent her head on Kirsty's shoulder. 'It's Crystal's scrapbook from when we were little...'
Kirsty looked down at some pictures of her, Abigayle and Crystal messing around in a photo booth when they where 12.
Abigayle smiled, Kirsty haven't had a picture since they became 16. Hard to make excuses for that.They laughed as they saw a picture of Kirsty's 15th birthday, the three of them where in a photo booth the top picture was the three of them smiling then the other three messing around, there was an arrow going from the picture the the paper that said, Kirsty's 15th <3
They looked for a little while longer and remembered all the great times they had had together. They had known each other all there life and loved each other like family.. but that was then. Once Crystal woke up, everything would change, the way she was, the way they all were, i mean what do you expect when one of your best friend's is your worse enemy.

Abigayle had fallen asleep, she woke as she felt Kirsty's cold hands on her shoulder, she stood up fast, just in case. Gave her evils then walked gracefully down stairs. Kirsty stayed for a second, smiled to herself. She was getting better at controlling herself. First time she had touched her since being 16.
'ARRGGGGHHHHHH' the sound came from downstairs and undoubtedly from Crystal waking up.
Crystal took a breathe in again and screamed. Every breathe burnt her lungs from the inside, the pain was unbearable, she wanted to curl up and die. But she didn't. She couldn't she opened her eyes and gasped, she held in the screams of pain and looked around. She saw EVERYTHING, every piece of dust fling around, every little hair in her eyes, it was like the lights had been switched on after a black-out and she could see again.
'I? - don't? - what?' Crystal stammered.
'Don't breathe.' a sweet voice whispered from behind her.
'Don't? - what?'
'Please Crystal. Listen to him.' Izzy's sharp voice spiltted the silence.
So Crystal held her breathe. It was.. easy.. it felt more natural than breathing was.
I saw Kirsty smile from the side of me her hand was wrapped around mine tightly, then Abi ran down the stairs breathing deeply. 'How are you?' she asked weakly, not knowing what was going on.
'I don't know, i mean, i don't know what happened.' I looked at mum for an explanation, she looked at the floor so i looked at Frank.
He sat on the chair next to me and Kirsty, he smiled weakly and began to speak.
'Crystal, remember when you where little and your mother always said you, Kirsty and Abi where one of many but simply unique. You didn't understand and she always promised to tell you when you were 16...'
He waited for my approval but i just stared at him, so he carried on.
'Well, we are going to explain and remember when you read all those fantasy stories about vampires and wolves and demons and one day, at Kirsty's house, you said to me how amazing people's imaginations where and how they came up with that sort of stuff?'
'Yes'. I said weakly, because i don't know what this had to do with everything.. i mean unless. NO
'NO!' Crystal screamed, it burnt but she didn't care!
'I CAN'T BE.. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!! KIRSTY!! YOU DON'T BELIEVE THIS SHIT DO YOU? ABI?' Crystal was standing up now holding her hip that was bandaged up.
Everyone was silent.
'YOU FUCKING SICK, YOU KNOW THAT!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!'
She felt like she wanted to cry and die again, but she just couldn't believe what they were saying.
'Christ Crystal! shut the fuck and listen.' Kirsty was pissed off now, she could here it in her voice so she sat on the coach on top of her crumpled up duvet.
' You are half-vampire- no listen, please. Half-vampire means that someday you deflectate in the sun will were off and you will be able to control yourself around humans and not drink as mu-'
'WHAT?' Crystal screamed.
'CONTROL MYSELF!!! WHAT'S THE POINT??? ARGGHHHH NO I AM NOT DRINKING ANYTHING!!!' Crystal stormed into the kitchen, holding her side, the pain was unbearable, tears rolled down her face.
She stared out throw the window into the garden, 'The Garden Of Memories' mum called it.. she knew why now.
It all started to add up in her head then, all the times her mother had shown her vampire books, many times they had talked about the mysteries about them.. never would she had thought, even for a second, she was one.
She wiped her tears because she herd foot steps walking behind her, someone had opened the cupboard, took something out and walked behind her.
'Here, you need to eat.' Abi passed some crisps to her. 'I don't understand it. Your not-' Crystal stopped herself from even thinking about it. Her own mother had drank blood from another human...
'Hell no! Sorry, but. ew. I'm no blood sucker-' Abi stopped.
'Neither am i. I won't i swear, isn't it dangerous me being with you?' She took a couple of steps back but Abi just went forward and smiled.
'No its fine. I'm a Were-wolf'.
'Wha-' all in one day.. the world turned on its head, or tits, she didn't really know.
'I'm sorry i never told you, but my family promised they would help your ... family' she said grimly.
'Wait, leave the whole vampire, were-wolf thing out of this.. i'm still your best friend, so is Kirsty. THAT'S why you to are always bitching about each other.'
Abigayle breathed in. 'Yeah, i'm not even meant to be here, we only stayed because of the war...' Abigayle stopped herself there, she knew she had said to much and wondered into the living room.
Crystal looked back at the window, pictures ran threw her head, memories and the dream last night, maybe that was the future? Abi kills us?....
Crystal peeped around the corner on the door to see Abigayle sitting on the coach alone, Kirsty sitting with her father and Izzy pacing around
the living room. This meant she was worried about her, and thinking deeply, probably of what to say next.
'Mum? Are you ok?' Crystal's voice shook.
'Aren't I meant to be asking you that? i'm a horrible mum, and you know it. I lied to you all your life, I should have told you when you were little-'
'No, mum we all make mistakes.. this isn't one, you thought you were doing the best for me. I'm sorry i shouted. Frank am sorry, Abi,' Crystal turned to face Abigayle, 'I love you no matter what we are... i always will, ok?' Crystal lowered her head to look into her eyes.
'Crystal, please. Just love who you are meant to. I've got to go.' Abi stood up. Crystal stood in front of her and said, 'no, sit down.' Crystal nudged Abigayle into her seat.
'Crystal.. no.. leave her. If she loses control of her anger her were-wolf instincts will kill in and she will bite you.. hard.' Frank's mere voice came from across the room, Abi nudged past Crystal and went out the door.
Crystal sat on the couch dazed, just last night Abi, Kirsty and her were eating everything they could find out of the fridge and fighting over what film to watch first.. but know... it was like she had woke up into a different world, well thats exactly what she felt. Except her surroundings and memories where the same. But when she came to think about it she could hardly remember last night.
'Mum, what exactly happens when you become.. this?' she looked deeply into her mother's eyes.
'You can't eat, sleep, go out into the sun, you start to forget things from your past.. like last night.' She stood up slowly, 'look at me... what do see at first?'
'You standing in front of...' She looked at her mother, shaking her head then she knew what she meant.
'Palish face, tall, blonde hair, Black-blue shirt, Grey pants, one or two freckles, Deep blue eyes... why?'
'Look deeply, further.' Izzy sounded worried...
Then when she did, she knew why, now that she thought about it, she looked.. dead! belch blonde hair really red lips, black rings around her eyes like she hadn't slept for ages and.. Then she smiled... 'Fangs?!?' Crystal felt her teeth with her tongue. 'Ow.' Two teethe were really sharp.. 'No wayy. What. Crystal ran to the mirror. 'STOP CRYSTAL!!!' Kirsty's voice bellowed from across the room, but it was to late, she was at the mirror, looking into it and what she saw was freakier than anything she had seen or herd before. nothing. Absolulty nothing.
Then she ran. She ran so fast everything was a blur around her but she could still see what was in front of her, her reactions were so fast she didn't even have to think about it.
She ran out of the house in a black blur.
Her speed was unbelievable but it seemed natural and ordinary to her even though in school she was the worse runner ever. She knew Kirsty was running after her, she heard her almost, non-existante beats on the floor
Then she halted to a stop, Kirsty skided behind her, she was in the forest about 100 miles from where she lived. she wondered in silence with Kirsty by her side through the forest, deeper and deeper, every glint of light, she saw every branch twig and leaf she felt under her bare feet as she thought how her own family and friends could keep a secret about HER from her. she felt like she should just curl up and die again because her existence was a secret to almost the whole world and a fact was it disgusted some of her class mates (thats what she learnt from doing mythical beasts in class) miles into the dark forest of thick trees, she stopped, dirty and alone. One big tear slithered down her frozen cheeks. Kirsty wiped it away from her eyes and looked into her eyes. 'You mother didn't tell you for a good reason know, never think differently- Let me speak' she said as Crystal opened her mouth then she closed it and sat on a fallen tree. 'People have been told months, years before they turn, but gone mad, commit suicide because there whole existence is disgusting to them.. thats how you feel now? You were the one that said, I am who I am and shouldn't care what others think'. They were sitting face to face.
'We are not meant to exist.. even in a world full of mythical creatures, because Abigayle is our relative and she is a shape-shifter, she can be any animal she wants. But she has to have a reason to change into that animal. Her favorite the wolf thats why we said she was a were-wolf.'
'Me and you are one of a kind, never have existed and never should.. but we do. We can't die, we can control the elements like shape-shifters, run fast.. like you've found out.'
'Amazing eye site and extremely cold..' Crystal added, Kirsty smiled nodded.
'ARRRGGGHHH' a big black panther with gleaming red eyes leaped off a tree. She thought she even saw it smile...
