Shadows in the Dark: Rise of Three

Chapter III

I lay the motionless for several more minutes. I hear a man voice saying that they have to go. They got what they wanted. My mom kisses my forehead than gets up to leave. Her and the man leave to wreckage of the café. We stay silent and unmoving until we here sirens. We run out of the back and back to the hospital. We dust ourselves off then walk inside and head to my fathers room.

Jennifer checks for any other people other than my dad that would be in his room. She gave us the clear and we went inside. I sit on my dad's bed, Jennifer sits on the sink, and Zach sits in the chair.

"So what the hell happened back there?" Zach asks to no one in particular.

"The cafe exploded. That's what happened!" I answer.

"No shit! I know that! My question is why?"

"I don't know. I heard the one guy say that they got what the came for. I don't get it. What would he want from a cafe?"

"I don't know, but from what I heard they got it." I say.

"Ya. What ever they wanted it there's now." says Jennifer.

"Is it just me? Or do you want to know what it was too?" Asks Zach.

"Maybe a little." I say.

"Jenn?"

"Don't call me Jenn! And I'm not in the least bit curious. What I am curious about is who had your day for a snack?"

"It was my mom. We established this."

"Ya. That was before we were blown up and heard she was with someone."

"Your joking."

"Not really." She walks over to my dad and bites her wrist. She opens my dad mouth and puts her wrist over it.

"What the hell are you doing?" I shout at her.

"I'm healing your dad! Your welcome!"

I see my dads eyes flutter open. He looks around the room in wonder. I start to cry. My dad is ok. He's not going to die.

"Dad." I whisper sounding breathless.

"V? Where am I? Who are you?" My dad asks.

"You're in the hospital. I found you in the kitchen with a knife in your stomach. This is Jennifer. She's a new friend of mine."

"Your mother! She's back! You need to stay away from her. She's dangerous."

"Did she do this to you?" Jennifer asks.

"No. Some friend of hers or something. I don't know, they seemed friendly."

"Did you catch a name?" Jennifer asks.

"No. Wait maybe. Michel I think."

"Michel as in Michelson?" Jennifer asks.

"Ya. I think so. Why?"

"He might be an ancestor."

"You think he's a vampire too?" My dad asks Jennifer. I stand there in shock. My dad knows about vampires? What the hell? Why didn't he tell me?

"Why didn't you tell me?" I shout at him.

"Tell you what?"

"Vampires are real and my mom is one of them? Why not? I'm one of them too! I had the right to know!"

"V! Your one of them?" My dad asks in shock.

"Partly. I'm half-vampire. I have no idea what the means."
