Hidden Love

A waft of air hit my face, and my oldest friend, Timothy walked in. He was wearing a black vest under a white shirt. His brown hair was cut short. He looked good, for him. "Hey!" I greeted.

I got up from my bed and gave him a huge hug. "Where were you yesterday?" I asked

"Helping my cousin out with her history paper. Being 199 has it's perks you know?" Timothy smiled.

Now, you're probably wondering what the hell he's talking about. Let me start from the beginning....

My name is Eleanor Calder. I have dark brown hair and hazel eyes. I'm 199 going on 200. And if you haven't guessed already, I'm a vampire. Yes, I drank blood, but I did I pretty good(ish) job resisting human blood. So it was the animal diet for now.

Other than Timothy, I have another best friend named Amber who I met when I was around 160. You also must be thinking...oh suppose her dad is Dracula, that over protective blood sucker who lives in a castle up in Romania

Truth is,

1. There's no Dracula

2. He's actually not that protective of me, as long as I'm home by 11pm

3. And...well yeah we live in Romania, but not in a castle.

Now here comes the exciting part: my dads sending me to a school in London, England! Finally a taste freedom . I'll be going to attend the University Of Manchester and was looking forward to it.

I was really going to miss Amber and Timothy though, so today we were going to have a picnic in the evening.

1 hour later

Amber, Timothy, and I arrived to the graveyard.

The air was foggy, and I could hear the sounds of wolves and owls among us. This was the best time of day for me. Everything was so peaceful.

We took a seat down on the wet grass.

I unpacked the food, and took out sandwiches, drinks, chicken, and potato "We're really going to miss you El"Amber said unwrapping her sandwich.

"Lets not think about that now. Lets just enjoy the present" I replied.

Amber nodded. "So uh..." Timothy trailed off. "Uh what" I drummed my hands on the cold ground. "We'll since you're going....we", Timothy looked at Amber nervously. She nodded like it was painful. I looked at both of them confused, my hazel eyes squinting in confusion. "...decided to tell you that we're...dating" . I burst out laughing. "That's hilarious!" When I saw they were serious I frowned.

"How long has this been going on" I whispered

"About 5 weeks" Amber mumbled.

My hazel eyes turned a light brown and my teeth slowly sharpened a little bit. This happened when I felt sad or in this case betrayed. It was really scary when I got mad though. My eyes turned a deep blood red and my fangs were so sharp that if I bit my tongue I'd probably lose it. I tried not to get emotional.

"Eleanor, I'm sorry" Amber apologized me, reaching out for me. I backed away and stood up. "I can't..." I choked up, "Just leave me alone.

And then I ran

I ran and ran and ran.Amber and Timothy didn't even bother coming back probably. Just thinking about them hurt me. What really got to me is that they didn't tell me. For Five weeks they had kept this from me. We were best friends!

I got back to the castle, and opened up the creaking door. "Dad?" I called. Silence. "Daa-" "Yes Eleanor?" He came down the stairs.

"Um I'm back from my picnic. Just going to sleep"

"That was awfully quick" he said in his thick British accent. You'd think he had a Romanian accent. Long story.

"Yeah, I should get some sleep before I leave tomorrow. Goodnight"
