Twisted

Chapter 4

Soon it would be 7:00, so I put a nice dress on with my same old converse. As I started to walk out the door. Jake was there, standing on my front porch.

"What are you doing here?" I asked
"You don't have to go." He told me this like I should be scared.
"Why? What are you hiding from me?" I asked kind of pushy
"Nothing, it's just my brother."
"What about him? What are you hiding?" I asked again
"I can't tell you!" He said frustrated.
"Just tell me, I won't tell anyone." I said kind of flirty.
"Fine. Your so demanding!"
" I'm a.... Vampire and so is Zach" he said slowly like I would freak out.

Of course I was stunned by this new information but with Chloe telling me she's a which, it made it a little less surprising.

"So what are you waiting for? Lets go to your house for dinner." I said this, trying to change the subject.
"You still want to go? You know what we eat right?" He said this stunned.
"Yes. Blood." I said this with a chuckle.

I started heading for my car.

"You coming? I asked
~
Once we got to his house. He seems kind of scared but I didn't know why, so I just ignored it. I couldn't keep my eyes off of his house. It was stunning! It was like a castle. It had three floors and was huge! When I went inside I smelled chicken... It smelled amazing, and when I walking into the room the smell came from, there was Zach cooking me dinner even though he won't eat it.

"Hello" Zach said without even knowing we were there.
"Hi" I said
"So... Did you tell her Jake?" He asked
"Yes" Jake replied.

Jake seemed mad at Zach for something I couldn't figure out. When dinner was finished we all sat at the table, even though they didn't eat. It was awkward half the time. Sometime Zach tried to start conversations but Jake always answered something that would end the conversation.

When I finished eating I went to the kitchen to clean off my dish. Zach followed me into the kitchen with glass I left at the table. Zach is really easy to talk to, so I decided to ask him the obvious question.

"What's up with you and Jake?"
"Well... If you ask Jake I'm sure he would have a different story" he said
"Well... What's your story?" I asked out of curiosity.
"Let's just say I killed people, and he didn't like it." He answered trying not to say to much.
"Oh." I replied trying not to push him.
"Can you take me home? Jake doesn't seem like he's in the best mood." I asked this because I didn't want to sit in a car of silence with Jake for twenty minutes
"If your sure you want me to, then ya" he said this like it was a bad thing.

He ended up taking me home. It was kind of weird, but not as weird as it would have been with Jake. He played Jazz music. He started most of the conversations we had. When he looked me in the eyes when he was surprised by some of my answers, I could see he was normal just like anyone else, so I don't know why Jake hates him so much. Yes, he's killed people, but isn't that what vampires do, isn't that what they need to survive, blood! Doesn't Jake do the same thing?

When we reached my house, I didn't know what to do. I could tell Zach knew what I was thinking, so he walked around the car and opened my door for me. He also walked me to the door! I was surprised by this. He didn't seem like the gentleman type, but he was. Once we got to the door, it was the same thing all over again. I had no idea what to do. And just like before it was like he could read my thoughts. So, he helped me out, by giving me a hug and saying goodbye. As I walked inside I felt radiant, like I was glowing with a smile.
