Trinity's Blood - authoroffantasy- Faire Lucas (comprehension books txt) 📗

held up a sharp blood covered bone from the carcass I had drank from, and with it in my hand, stabbed myself in the heart. Reese, full of horror, ran after me but as I fell to my knees I begged her to stay away and she did as she listened to my whining.

“I didn’t want to be a vampire! I was beginning to enjoy my illness and appreciate the fact I would die and go to heaven! That I would watch over this family and help you along the way because, face it Reese, I love everyone and even you! You and Puppet are my sisters, Xavier and Devin are my brothers…and Tristian is the love of my life! I would do anything to keep you safe even if that meant dying so that the damn Night Council won’t hurt you!”

Reese was about to run but as I pulled out the bone and my wounds healed, she stopped, only to see me rise from the fallen and jump into the trees. Now as I looked down at her, from each new tree I moved to, I could see she had no idea where my movements were. For a moment I would imagine that I was more rapidly moving then she was and therefore that’s why she couldn’t hear or notice me. It was an exhilaration and a complete chance to escape from this home I had fought so much to keep. But as I moved through the forest, away from the place, I knew I would be heading for the mansion and from there on to my real parents. To Vickie and Allen.


“Flight 28 to New York…”

I bound on the plane, knowing it would be hard for a six hour flight without blood, but I needed to see them and get over with it. As I turned to look down at my check list, noticing the bare spot next to confront parents, it gave me hope of seeing them for the first time…finally. Not to mention the vampire voice that came along which made me a bit older and elegant than how I was when human. Vickie, Allen, what if I had more family? It is true I never knew much of my family and all I was taught was to be quiet and not ask questions but when I get to them I will unload from all these past years’ questions and not give in till I fill complete once more. And of course they’re going to think I’m delusional and want to know how I have survived so long, but I won’t let vampire come across their mind, and just tell them if they wanted to know so bad they would’ve seen me. Yes, that is the more appropriate “lady like” way, as my grandmother would say. But guess what grandmother, I’m an adult, and I make my own decisions. In these past few months I’ve grown from a weak, childish, young girl to being a strong, independent, and not to mention vampire woman. That would knock her socks off!

“Hello!”

The little boy next to me had taken his seat and tied his shoelaces that seemed like he had walked too much on. My vampire sight went crazy as I noticed all those little details that seemed out of place and wondered if the Verne’s saw me this way and how could they not go crazy about it? Oh, right, they loved me…yeah right.

“Hello.”

“What’s your name? Mine is Theodore Fetter, and my mamma over here, her name is Shaniqua Fetter. My daddy is at work though and couldn’t make the trip.”

“Oh, my name is Trinity.”

“That’s a really cool name! So how old are you Trinity?”

Shaniqua laughed and silenced Theodore as he started to play his handheld game while eating pretzels they served on board. Then, as if the mother knew I was confused about everything going on, she patted my knee in a mother-to-daughter way.

“Everything happens for a reason, Trinity, and that’s just like what happened with Theodore and I have never looked back on that.”

“Yeah, momma loves me till the end of the world!”

“Yes, son, I do.”

She was a great mother, caring to her son as he would show her his “wicked moves” and announce “Victory!” It was almost too miserable to see but it was like I was in a trance as if watching the sunset once again and seeing its colors shine bright instead of the dull and darkness I have been feeling.

“You’re right, Shaniqua, and I think I’m going to go with that. Thank you.”

“No problem sweetie, in truth, we all need it once in awhile.”

“That we do.”

It was my final words on that plane, and as I exited, I could almost feel their blood entering mine as if to assure me that nothing would come again to hurt my heart. That I was safe and I could fight anything and anyone. But as I came to the hotel my parents were living in, slowly, I went up to their door and heard from inside some kind of noise…it was my mother laughing. Truly and happily laughing, my father as well! How could they be laughing at a time like this? How could they be laughing knowing their…well thinking their daughter was dying? Its inhumane, it’s wrong, it’s so many things my mind can’t just comprehend right now! And that’s why as I kicked the door open with a might so hard I hear Allen yell to get down and Vickie scream as if she was in danger.

“How could you laugh? How can you live with yourselves? Don’t you feel any emotions at all? You are horrible and terrible people!”

It took them a few seconds to finally see it was their daughter and Allen told Vickie to get up from the floors as they both sat down on the bed, as if this was any normal conversation. It made me angry but terrified that they weren’t at all scared of me for they couldn’t even see I was vampire.

“We know you’d come sooner or later.”

My father got up and put his brisk hand on my shoulder but I nudged it away furiously and he ignored it with a shrug while sitting down once again by my mom. Then as he did so my…Vickie spoke up.

“Honey, how are you?”

My very heart, still with thoughts, gave way as did my legs. I fell to the floor knowing that my parents had the upper hand now. But what more could I do? Because now, as I looked at each picture on the walls, I saw me. Everywhere in the room were pictures of me, whether it is while I was at the mansion or at the Verne’s house! My mumbling made this moment much worse but suddenly all I could think about was that they were watching me but how?

“You were such a smart girl; we knew you’d know sooner or later.”

I uttered a small “what?” in reply to my father’s voice but he didn’t answer. Instead my mother, wide eyed that I didn’t understand, walked over and put a hand on my shoulder.

“That, we, being your parents…have always watched you. That we know all about the world of supernatural. That we are indeed…”

She paused as I eyed her about to mutter “werewolf” and this time I knew what to do. Being a vampire wasn’t so bad, as I lashed out at them, seeing the way they changed into those horrible beasts and knowing they had sent Felix to take me back here so I could live with them like a mutt family. They even showed the sign of guilt once I yelled it out in their faces, while smashing the furniture into bits. If that wasn’t bad enough, now as a vampire, I would forever know that my parents were the opposing side. They were against me…I believe.

“How could you?!”

“Honey, your mother and I wanted to say it before but…it was so hard to. That’s why you have tuberculoses, because it travels in our genes. See each generation of our family have skipped to being werewolves. Your grandmother never got it but we did and well…you didn’t. See the pattern?”

“I’m not an imbecile, you foul dogs!”

“You will respect your father young lady!”

“How can I when he’s on all fours!”

For once in my entire life, I just stared into the distance. Thinking about Tristian and everyone else than focusing on the two werewolves that are my so called parents. Vickie went to Allen, helping him change back to human, then they both laid down on the floor about three feet away from me. We had probably spent an hour just screaming and banging into things and we were all exhausted.

“You…you know.”

“That you’re a vampire, yes, we know.”

“Why didn’t you come to me by yourselves instead of sending Felix.”

“Because if we did, you would hate us more. You would think after all this time staying with your dream family that we were coming to rid you of it. To rid you of the one thing in life you loved.”

“I would hate you…you’re right.”

Allen nodded as he got up to help me stand while Vickie just smiled in defeat at me. Now more than ever I wanted to be home with the Verne’s and to feel Sally’s warm hugs, to see the order that William provides, to love Tristian and hear him call me princess once again. That has all changed. I’m alone in this world now.

“So I suppose now that I am vampire, I will never be your daughter.”

Vickie cleared her throat as Allen was about to shake his head.

“Honey, you will always be our daughter. No matter where, what, who you are you will be. Nothing can change that. But no, you will never be able to visit us. To you, we are enemies, and to us, you are an enemy. So as of right now, you should leave, return to your family and we’ll all forget this. Don’t worry, we won’t tell on you with the other werewolves here to come after you. But next time, we’ll have to.”

“I understand. But mom…”

“Yes?”

“I might’ve thought I hated you and dad all these years. But I think now I was just trying to hide from the thought that even when you were gone my whole life I have always…Well what I am trying to say is that I love you.”

“We love you too sweetheart.”

Vickie and Allen, smiling with tearful eyes, gave me a bear hug as we departed from one another. My eyes blurred but as I ran to the airport, I knew, it was time to face the facts and get my head straight. I had to go back to them; I had to show Puppet I really didn’t hate her and that I didn’t feel anything of hatred towards her. Then maybe, some possible way, we can live together even though it has never been done. My running was stopped short as I exited the building and there Puppet stood, arms crossed, teeth exposed.

“Puppet…what are you doing here?”

“You…or I…have to die. I’m sorry…but I have to.”

My eyes larger than normal were searching her for any movements that were quick enough to fight to. As Puppet stepped closer I realized my whole mind and heart wasn’t able to kill her, if we were to fight right now, I would
