Katrina

I woke up the next morning, I tried to roll over but I noticed I wasn’t in my bed alone. I looked up at the face of the person's side I was cuddled into. Jack. When I saw his face, the events of last night flooded back to my mind. Starting with the dream.

“Did you two like what you just seen? Seeing your parents die right in front of your eyes?” Vlad asked. “I’ll come back for you two when I’m ready. Don’t go to far. Just be glad I’m giving you a fighting chance.” With those words he was gone within a one blink of an eye. I looked over to Dallas and we both had tears running down our cheeks, we never cry, we’re not weak. But what else were we suppose to do at this time? We just seen our parents get their heads ripped off in one quick movement. Now Vlad is coming after Dallas and I. We have to protect ourselves.

I came back reality and looked back at Jack. I moved ever so slowly to not wake him up. As I was pushing myself up, his arms pulled me back down and pulled me closer to him and brought me into a tight embrace.

“You should know that I was already awake.” He spoke, keeping his eyes closed.

“I should have. Vamps don’t sleep.” I replied, mentally slapping myself. He chuckled and released me so that I could sit up. I sat up quickly took most of the blanket with me, pulling it off of Jack. I noticed he was only in his boxers. I must have been staring because he spoke.

“Like what you see?” He asked, chuckled again. I removed my eyes from him and looked away, feeling a blush come onto my face. I felt movement on the bed, then my side dipped down, telling me that JAck got up. “You can look now, I have pants on.” I looked back over at him and saw him standing by my bed, still not having a shirt on.

“And a shirt?” I asked.

“Don’t have one with me.” He replied with a shrug. I gave him a strange look, telling him to elaborate on his reasoning. He got the hint and spoke. “I rushed over here pretty quick last night. Just be glad I put pants on. Oh, and also, we do sleep.”

“Huh?”

“Alex, Zack, Rian, and I. We coxed ourselves to sleep, even if it’s only for a few hours at night. We like feeling somewhat human.” I nodded in understanding, but really I was confused. They sleep, only drink the blood of animals, want to help hunters, and get scared? What the hell kind of vamps are they? I pushed my thoughts to the back of my mind and got out of my bed. “Want me to leave the room so you can change into some day clothes?”

“I don’t feel like changing right now. I normally just stay in my night clothes till about midday, unless I have somewhere to go. One question though, does Dallas know you’re here?”

“Yep. I asked him if I could stay the night last night, after you told me not to leave you.” He replied. Okay, he is a very strange thing. He’s so different from most vamps. It’s kinda creepy, it’s like they are trying their best to hang onto their human life. I started to walk to my door and walk out of my room, hearing Jack’s footsteps behind me. We walked into the living room and I saw Dallas sitting on the couch with a cup in his hands, taking small sips.

“Mornin’, is that tea?” I asked.

“Sure is. There is some in the kettle for you. I would offer you some Jack, but it’s not really your type.” Dallas said looking up.

“I love tea.” Jack said.

“It’s vervain tea.” I stated.

“Yeah, I think I’ll pass.” He said with a light chuckle. Dallas laughed as well. I let out a sigh of annoyance and went into the kitchen to get some tea. Why is Jack still here? Why was he able to calm me down last night, but my brother couldn’t? Of all people. A fucking vampire could calm me down. For all I know, he and his buddies could be planning on killing Dallas and I any chance they get. I pushed my thoughts to the back of my head when I turned around and saw Jack was standing at the entrance of the kitchen. “Hey, I just wanted to say that I’ll see ya later, I’m going to head back over to mine.”

“Okay. I’ll see you whenever I guess.” I said, taking a sip of my tea. With those words he left the kitchen and made his way out of mine and Dallas’ house. I went into the living room and sat next to Dallas, drinking my tea.

“You’re crushing on a fucking vampire?” Dallas asked looking over at me.

“What?! Fuck no!” I defended myself. There was no way in hell I was crushing over a fucking thing like that.

“I seen the way you looked at him this morning. And I seen the way you instantly looked a lot calmer when he came over yesterday. Don’t fucking lie to me.” He said, ending his words with a growl. I moved away from him and looked him dead in the eye and spoke.

“There is no way in hell. That I will ever fall for a fucking vampire, Dallas. Like I said before. After this whole thing's over with, I still plan on adding all four of them to my kill list. Not saving you any. So shut the hell up and leave me alone.” I growled.

“Okay, we will see about that. But I swear to fucking gosh, Katrina. If you fall in love with a fucking vampire, I will disown you in a heartbeat.” When those words left his mouth I felt my heart drop. He would disown me? What kind of brother says that?

“Wow, some brother you are.” I spat as I got off the couch and started to walk away.

“Kat, I didn’t-” He started, sounding just as hurt as I felt.

“Save it, asshole. I’m getting dressed, and I’m leaving. I’ll be back whenever the fuck I want to be back.”
