Chapter I: Regret

         I should have never gotten talked into going to that party, and the only reason I went was because my friend Jessica said that the new guy in town was going to be there and well I have a crush on him since I first saw him transfer to my school Woodrow Prep. But it's bad enough that I sneaked out of my foster parents' house and well I do have certain stricter rules than the other normal teens my age since I am a vampire but nobody knows that. The church orphanage that I used live at never found out other than two people one that I hate and the other person one that I hate so much, but either way I have tried to act as normal as possible so that I don't get discovered. One time my friend Jessica almost found out my secret only that I told her it was because I had anemia, and well it's a good thing that she is naïve. But getting back to the real problem I didn't know that the party was a drinking party in the middle of nowhere and there are a lot of guys mostly from the football team. I never get over the fact that there are some stupid jocks and dumb blond cheerleaders but it's their problem although many say that it's a stereotype, but it never really is. I could probably lie to my parents and say that Jessica kidnapped me but I doubt they would believe me they don't really like me the only reason they took me in was because of Father Jean, and he is the only living person that I know of that actually met my parents. I don't really like to talk about the fact that I never met my parents but Father Jean once told me that they gave me away to protect me from something evil and well I don't want to be depressed by thinking that my parents never wanted me so it's best if I think that they left me here to protect me. In actual truth I didn't want to go into another foster home I am about to turn 17 so what's the point nobody wants me and some of my past foster parents were cruel and abusive. So I hope that if I get in trouble that they take me back to the orphanage where I like to stay, and help them since they acted like a true family, and raised me despite knowing what I am. As I look around its dark and nobody is around I then remember that Jessica handed me a cold beer even though I don't drink, and left somewhere but there was nobody around and I didn't know where she had gone. That idiot left her purse with her car keys on the hood of the car where I was sitting on, so I decided to wait inside the car and lock the doors. Since I have had nightmares after watching a scary zombie movie earlier today, about a girl alone in a corn field, and that's enough to convince me to stay inside the car and lock the doors. A moment later I see a shadow at first I thought that it was Jessica but looking closer it looks too masculine so I turn the headlights on and I see that it's the new guy and to my surprise he doesn't look like a zombie. He comes around and I pull down the window he smiles at me and I feel my heart beating "hey I heard there was a party around here but I can't seem to find it so I ended up lost." I just looked at him he had black curly like hair that made him look like he came from a Victorian era it looked soft and shiny too. His eyes were an unusual color they look to be silver or ice blue at first I thought it could be contacts but they were his real eyes, and so I just stared at him for a very long time. I probably seemed stupid and I felt stupid I was wearing some ugly jeans and a stupid t-shirt that I use as a pajama, and it has taken me a lot of effort to create this image so nobody pays attention. After a while he smiles or more like chuckles at the long silence around us "oh I am sorry I forgot to tell you my name, my name is Luce its short for Lucifer but you can call me either one of those names, and your name is Vivian, isn't it? I have seen you in school." I was surprise that he knew my name but that wasn't my real birth name the church gave it to me and well that one seemed to stick to me and I kind of liked it. Although I wish that I knew my real name but I was just a baby when my parents gave me away it's sad and the only person that knows is Jessica and we have been friends since I was in middle school. "Yea that's my name Vivian Hearts, and I was also wondering where that party was to begin with, my friend Jessica Parker just left me here with this beer can only that I don't drink and I don't really no where she went." I started to sound nervous but then again I was in the middle of nowhere in my friend's car talking to a hot guy. "Then can I keep you company until she returns since its bad to leave a pretty girl all by herself, don't you think? So, it's better if I stick around and that way we can get to know each other since we are going to be classmates after all." He gave me a vexing smile that sent my girl hormones over drive and well I gave in and opened the passenger side door, and he got in I then noticed that he was wearing designer clothes he must be rich. He wore black jeans and a black t-shirt that had designer graphics he was overdressed if he was simply going to a get together party in the middle of nowhere just to drink. But I wonder if that was really the case I had a sharp eyes and I noticed that something didn't feel right something about him seemed eerily familiar but I didn't know what. "Oh! I almost forgot, I didn't catch your last name," he looked at me for a while "it's Lucifer Evangelical" well his last name was hard to say and he had a bit of an accent but for some reason my mind didn't want to realize that there was something off in him. "What an interesting and hard last name to say are you from Europe or somewhere close by," he looked at me but didn't answer I guess it was because it was so obvious. It was all thanks to Jessica I should have made her stay in the car with me now she's probably out there making out with Brad her football quarterback boyfriend. Well he's not really her boyfriend they are friends with benefits or something like that since Brad's girlfriend is Angela Greene the leader of the cheerleader's squad and not to mention the mayor's daughter. I don't know how Jessica ended up being Brad's beneficial friend for all I know Brad is a pig and Jessica is being used which makes her stupid that and she is stupid at times it gets me so frustrated to be near her. I hadn't notice but I was staring off into space, and it made me embarrassed when he was simply looking at me without saying anything. So I quickly decided to at least make some small talk or not he did say that we should get to know each other, and well I want to know if he could be the right guy who I noticed from all the other perverted, ugly, and disgusting guys in school. "So where are you from? Do you have any friends or younger siblings?" he smiled but something about that smiled didn't convince me there was something dark in his eyes that seemed to glitter. "You could say that I am from a faraway place that is dark, cold and some may call it scary. Unfortunately no friends yet that's why I decided to come and make some, and as for siblings I had a brother but that was a long time ago I don't even want to talk about him." I studied him for a really long time "so what about your parents, do you live close by here or closer to the school?" He laughed "wow... so many questions and somebody actually wants to know and they are mostly what I do actually, instead of trying to find out what type of imported car I drive, really I appreciate that you actually want to know the real me and I hope you like me for just wanting to be me, simple and having a normal school life." I smiled at him his words were sincere and calm almost like I imagined, "my parents died when I was little but to my demised they left me with a big inheritance that all of my uncles and family want to get their hands on, and as for where I live is in between school and the old monastery church I live in the old mansion on Dark Lane Grove." I was suddenly shocked that old mansion use to belong to my parents supposedly and I also herd that it was haunted well practically it was plain creepy since the backyard of the mansion was actually a graveyard. "Sorry about your parents I didn't mean to remind you of anything sad. Really that is interesting I used to walk by the path that led to the mansion on my way to school from the church since I do live at the church believe it or not." I laughed nervously since I know that when I guy hears the words living in a church they either think I am a nun or they realize that I am an orphan. But when I looked into Luce's eyes they didn't show any surprise or disgust he looked at me as he was looking at me before with no sympathy at all. "But I heard that you lived with your parents in a nice house close to the school, what happened to your real parents then?" I looked away trying hard to remember if I could even picture my mother's voice or face but just as I thought I was only a baby. "I really don't know I was only a baby when they left me with Father Jean and Father Jean is like the father I never had, and he is the only person that I know that actually met my parents face to face. He told me once that my parents lived in that mansion that you are living in and I don't really know why they left me even though Father Jean tells me that they left me in his care to protect me from something evil." When I mention that last word to him he seemed to freeze and after a while he slowly relaxed "then it is you...I have been looking for you all of my entire life, but I don't know how this falling in love thing is supposed to work but I really do feel something for you something special. There is a feeling that I get from you something powerful, dangerous and if you were to be yourself I bet all the guys would turn their heads a second time to look into your beautiful eyes." I started to feel really hot even though it was cold outside and the heater inside the car wasn't on, I couldn't believe that he actually noticed that this wasn't my style. I then felt something warm that sent electric currents down my veins it was Luce's hand that was touching my arm he was trying to allure me into his trap but I haven't kissed a guy yet because I was afraid that I might bite him. "Um... Lucifer you might not want to get close to me I'm not really the kind of girl a guy like you should go for since I am antisocial and I am a bit of a loner at times and my best and only friend is Jessica and most if not the whole school hates her so I am the only person she's got to be friends with." He laughed a little he had an amused smile playing along his perfectly good lips "are you scared that I might hurt you or something, I don't bite." Although he laughed I didn't because I did bite and I learned it the hard way when I first, well almost bit my playmate Joseph, and the only person who knows about that is Father Jean who saw it, good thing Joseph doesn't remember. "Don't tell me you like me?" When he didn't answer that question I decided to hit the brake and let him off gently since I couldn't fall in love not after knowing that words and fake love hurts so much more. I hated that my last foster parents left me traumatized with the word Monster, and it keeps repeating in my head like a broken record only that it affects me so much more when I think about the fact that I can never find love without someone calling me a demon or monster. "Listen carefully Lucifer Evangelical you cannot fall in love with me no matter what," I was scared for my life and his since imagining the town and people with pitch forks and torches was not my ideal fantasy. So I began to use my hypnotizing voice to make him forget about the fact that we even met or remember that he has feelings for me. But to my surprise it doesn't work "Listen Vivian I like you ever since I saw you praying every day at the monastery you looked like a white angel just kneeling before god. When you were actually being selfish and asking god to let you meet your parents or to at least give you a sign that if they were dead or alive." I was in shock to how he knew I had been praying since I was little to god about me wanting to meet my parents and it wasn't a selfish prayer it was private and I was desperate to know who they were and why they left me here. "How...did...you know about my daily prayers were you listening to me...wait! You couldn't have been listening to me because I was saying it in thought so how do you know what I was praying about." He laughed an almost sexy but dangerous smile revealing, it seemed that we were playing a game of tag with our questions. "Oh, and trust me that isn't the only thing I know about you I know of the secret that you hide and if you don't want me to tell everyone at school what you are I suggest that you come to my house tomorrow and all will be fine." I became cold to the bone or even deeper than that he knew my deepest darkest secret, now I was beginning to think that Lucifer was a real jerk face or demon instead since I thought he could be a good person, "and come dressed like you truly dress when you really want to sneak out because those ugly jeans and that wrinkled t-shirt aren't working for me but the real you is what I am looking for, and I can already imagine you being even more beautiful showing off those beautiful blue purple eyes." I was so in shock that I didn't noticed he was a few inches from my face getting ready to seal the deal, he was going to kiss me but I then realized that he grabbed a strand of my hair since I had closed my eyes. "What a beautiful color of hair just the right shade of black or should I call it midnight black and so soft and cool it feels like silk," he kissed the strand of my hair "wait you still haven't told me about how you knew what I was praying for and how you found out my secret you have only been in town for a week or so right." This time when he smiled it made the image of the familiar person come into my mind but it quickly became a faint memory "why don't we do this my dear Vivian I will help you find your parents if they are still alive but you don't care since you only want to know about what they were doing all this time. But you will have to do what I say so do you want to do a pact, blood oath, or we could do a plain and simple contract all you have to do is come to my house and do what I tell you too." I became suddenly afraid hoping that it wasn't anything perverted or indecent "do you really think I am the type of guy to do something as indecent as that, that is too low even for my standards even though if you were thinking of such and act would you like to go ahead and make the first move or if you say it nicely I will make it for you." For a second I thought that Lucifer was either a mind reader or he knew me too well, but I don't think that it was the case since for one thing I didn't want anyone to find out my secret and if he knew it then I was in serious risk. "Fine I agree where do I sign my soul and life to you Mr. Know it all," he laughed, "that's a very good way of putting things in perspective since I want you and everything that has to do with you Vivian but only your true self and for the looks of it you look super pale do you need blood my blood is really rich and delicious." So he really did now what I was there was no doubt now and I was kind of hungry I swore never to drink blood but here was this guy offering himself to me a creature of the night. "I really do love you Vivian," and when he said that he actually kissed me and I never expected that I would become weak since it was supposed to be the other way around. When Lucifer pulled away he smiled and looked into my eyes as I saw his devilish smile and as soon as it was over he left and I only heard the car door close, and as I looked at the door he had left thru only a few short seconds ago. I noticed that he wasn't there or anywhere for that matter it was like he had disappeared, but the only thing that didn't disappear was the heat and the passion of the kiss we had just shared. So I kept staring at the empty passenger seat hoping that he was still there when a sudden tap of the glass coming from my window startled me. I looked towards whoever it was that was knocking only to see Jessica looking rather angry I already knew that this had to do with Brad he had done something to tick off the raft of the most hated girl in school. Since I already knew her problem and I was betting that she was also going to explain as soon as I opened the door. I began to move to the passenger seat feeling the heat of Lucifer's body it was warm and it felt like I was sitting on him, I then unlocked the door and she slammed it close really hard. I was multitasking with listening to her and thinking about my foster parents punishments and thinking about Lucifer, I was so happy I didn't  care what happened but I was wondering how he had found out my secret but I was going to make him tell me tomorrow. Halfway thru the ride back home I decided to listen to Jessica and her problem which involved her and Brad making out and without any warning Angela found out and saw them but of course pure little Angela held it in and only cried a little and then she ran away. I was betting that Angela's co-captain cheerleader told her where to find Brad and with who. I felt bad for Jessica but this was bound to happen sooner or later and she was also trying to lie to herself by actually believing in Brad since he was a total bastard. That and his breath smelled like hot dogs but I guess Jessica loves hot dogs, I can't believe Jessica was even saying she was going to forget about Brad. "Are you listening Vivian, I am never going to see and or talk with that jerk ever again. I mean it! I knew it was wrong to go out with him but I couldn't help myself he is super-hot, isn't he?" She had those dreamy eyes that radiated with love, I tried to mask and by tried it fail Jessica saw my look of disgust at the remark she made about her sweet heart which she couldn't help by not keeping her promise of ever seeing him. And Brad will never stop dating Angela because without poor sensitive rich Angela his world would fall apart, but he does need Jessica for his other urges and needs. A couple minutes later and a long silence we got to my house and Jessica left me up front and said goodnight, and as I turn to look at the house the lights were on which meant that I was in big trouble with Mr. and Mrs. McNeal my current foster parents/guardians, and I also noticed a familiar car parked in the curve. This night wasn't really looking so good, I walked into the hallway and I put my jacket on the coat hanger and took off my shoes at the door entrance. When I walked further inside I heard voices coming from the living room and I walked towards the living room only to see Father Jean and Mr. and Mrs. McNeal talking about me, and as I looked down I saw two packed suitcases which I then knew what it meant. So to save me the tears that were beginning to well up I grabbed my suitcases and ran towards the door and into Father Jean's car and a while later he came around and into the car I didn't have to show him my face for him to know that I was crying. "I want to go home," I said it a little shaky than I had expected but I didn't care, once we were on the road heading back to the orphanage, where I belonged, I had calmed down a bit and he began to talk "so...do you want to talk about anything are you feeling okay." I knew that if I didn't talk to him I was going to regret it and if I lied I would hate myself so I decided to tell him the whole truth even about me liking Luce. That was the first time that Father Jean actually had a very dead cold pale face he suddenly stopped the car and prayed "did he tell you anything else." I looked at Father Jean for a while this was really the first time I saw him in such a panic state "yea...he knew my secret," he immediately turned deadly pale "he knew your secret, that you are a vampire?! What was his name again?" I didn't know how that was going to help him but I wasn't going to hide it "his name is Luce he lives in my parents old house at Dark Lane Grove," his lip quivered a bit "Father Jean is there something I should know about this whole situation," he looked at me for the first time with so much horror "Luce is short for something isn't it?" "Yes, its short for Lucifer his whole name is Lucifer Evangelical," and when I said his name I could have sworn that his soul left his body if only he hadn't put the car on drive again and speeded towards the orphanage. I could tell that Father Jean was thinking about something but I didn't know what, and it began to rain suddenly good thing the trees were like umbrellas covering us from getting wet. Slowly I realized that the mansion that I used to pass by on my way to school and from school was coming up and in slow motion I saw the big black rusted gates, and the gloomy looking dead trees whose branches looked like skinny hands with claws. I could have sworn I saw someone at the window upstairs slightly peering thru the thick curtain, it looked to be Luce. But then it was suddenly gone but I suddenly remembered the warm passionate kiss that Luce had given me, and I felt it tingle on my lips as if he was still kissing me. When I got to the orphanage I went to my room since everyone was sleeping already it was late, and all thru the night I kept dreaming of Lucifer and I had such a desire to bite him and drink some of his blood since he did smell good. This was probably the first time that I wanted anyone or anything in my whole entire life, and Luce loved me too, but the words Father Jean had said stuck to me like glue. Since, I couldn't forget his scared face.
