Deadly Secrets - Emma Smith (howl and other poems TXT) 📗

out my tan wool sweater with an ethnic pattern on it. I loved this sweater because the hood was lined with faux fur and draw string had faux fur pom-poms. I burgundy long-sleeved v-neck and pulled the sweater over it. I grabbed my red scarf and my striped red and white hat that had flaps to cover my ears. I then laced up my boots and headed down the stairs. I walked into the kithcen to se Nona making eggs and toast. I skipped the eggs and took the toast and headed to the door. I slipped my grey parka on and grabbed my back pack and left for school. My high school was only a mile and a half away so walking in knee deep snow was somewhat bearable .
When I saw the school building I felt my heart sink. I remembered what had happened last night. I also remembered that Nate was a vampire, and he now knew I as a witch. however my mood lightened when I saw my best friend Carly. Carly was a native girl with copper skin and black eyes which were hidden behind thick hipster glasses . Her black hair was shoulder length with thick bangs her hair in general was choppy and uneven at the ends. She smiled at me and ran over to me.
"smile!" she shouted at me. She clicked her bulky black camera and the flash blinded me.
"Carly why do you have to take my picture every single day?" I asked her with a sour look on my face.
" Because your so pretty. " she said bluntly. I laughed at her comment as we linked arms and walked to our first class. As we walked down the hallway I saw Nate staring at Carly and I. I tried not to look at him and walked into history class. the day went by quickly and as soon as the last bell rang I got up and ran for the front gate of the school. I stopped running when I heard someone call my name well not my name exactly but I knew who they were referring to when I heard a voice call,
"Hey, Russia." My eyes widened when I recognized the voice behind me. I turned around to see Nate with his arms crossed staring at me intently.
"What is it?" I asked him.
"We need to talk." he said sternly. I nodded my head and began to follow him. He lead my out side behind the Gym.
"Listen,last night what did you see?" He asked me glaring down at me.
"I saw you drinking the blood of a girl, and I also saw your fangs. And what did you see last night."
"I saw you standing there and then when I tried to explain, you hexed me." when I realized that he knew what I was my eyes widened.
" Then you know I'm a-"
"A witch. yeah I do, and you now that I'm a-"
"Vampire, yes I do. Are we done here?"
" Not yet. Since your a witch then you already know what I'm ordered to do if anyone finds out my secret. Right?" At first his eyes were cold like stone, but when I saw his eyes were filled with pain and sorrow, I understood fully what he meant. I immediately was filled with fear and started to back away from him. He reached out his hand out after me.
"Savanna-" he was going to say something else but stopped when I revealed a wooden stack strapped to my arm that was hidden under my sleeve.
"If you ever tell anyone about me being a witch then I'll drive a stack threw you so fast before you can say anything more."
"Same to you." he said without another word I turned around and ran as fast as I could. When I was far from the school I slowed down, and started walking at a normal spend when I heard the snow crunch behind me. I turned around to see Nate only inches away from me.
"what the hell are you doing?" I asked.
"Following you. I don't want you spilling my secret on you way home."
"Oh, so you just going to stalk me now?"
"If that's what it takes then yes."As he said this his lips puddled to one side and formed a smirk. However when he flashed his teeth I saw his razor sharp canines, and then I remembered what he was. My eyes widened and I knew he took note of my emotions. When he sensed my fear his smirk instantly faded and he looked at me with those same pained eyes I saw at school.
"why are you so scared of me?" he asked with a hurt tone. When he asked me this all the memories of the day my parents were killed flooded my mind. All of them the stranger, the killings, and then him coming after me. As I remember that vampire biting me, I traced my hand over the crescent scare below my ear. I looked up at Nate who was in shock.
"I-I didn't know." Was all he managed to saw before I cut him off.
"Then if you understand then go away!" I shouted at him.
"You know that I have to kill you, right?"
"I'd hex you before you even got close."
"I highly doubt that." he said. I glared at him and started walking away. When I heard him following me I turned around and glared at him and suddenly his boot caught on fire. Nate was startled and slammed his boot onto a pill of snow on the side of the road.
"What the fuck, Savanna?" he called.
"I said go away." I said as I continued walking.

Nate*
I stood in the tall pine tree in front of her house. I watched as her and her Nanny goofed of while attempting to bake bread.
"is that her?" a voice asked. I turned my head to see Blake. My guardian and a member of the council.
"yeah ,unfortunately." I said with a heavy heart.
"Do you think you can go threw with it?" he asked me.
"No I can't." I told him. I heard him sigh and then he turned to me.
"Nathaniel, you've done it before. You'll find a new love."
"Not like her."
" And why not?"
"I highly doubt I could kill her."
"She's only a witch Nathaniel, she can't be that strong."
"I think she's more then a common witch. She has no use for spell's and she could kill me with a single glance."
"Another reason to exterminate her." He said in a dark tone.
"I won't do it. It's not right. I don't understand why she has to die."
"Because you were sloppy, and she saw something she shouldn't have. We can't have the humane race discovering our presence. They're to narrow minded. We allowed one human girl to live after she found out about us once.... along time ago." My head snapped up and I looked at him.
"what happened to her?" I asked frantically.
"she told her mother, her mother told her friends and then their little village began to hunt us. we were close to extinction. As for the girl, her vampire husband ended up punishing her with death. That's why we don't make exceptions, not even for God himself." he growled.
"Then I'll make sure that she tells no one."
"Do as you wish but she'll end up dying in the end." after he said this he was gone. I tensed up at the thought of her dying in the same way her parents did. I watched her and her Nanny continue to throw flour at one another before disappearing into the night.

Savanna*

As I felt a chill travel down my neck I felt as if someone was watching me. I turned around to face the window and saw what looked like a person standing in the large pine tree. Out of disbelief I blinked several times and looked again to see the figure was gone.

“Shit! The bread!” I yelled as I rushed over to the oven. I opened up the oven, and a large cloud
