-They stopped playing the flute and jumped off the roof. I thought for surely they would've gone hurt. But... they were fine. They landed gracefully in front of my mother-

I think they were talking about something but I couldn't make it out. I tried to lean in closer to the window. Unfortunately, I touched the window and it slammed shut. The silhouette snapped his gaze towards me. I felt chills down my back. He disappeared as if he just teleported.
My mother looked back at me with an angry expression. I rushed out the door to meet her.
"Who...was that?" I asked out of breath for running.
She glared at me, "What are you doing?" she snapped.
I was shocked by her aggression.
" I heard music so I wanted to see where it was coming from."
She looked shocked, " You heard it?" she asked.
I nodded.
"Rowan!" she shouted her eyes glowing In the dark. Eyes don't normally do that... am I going insane?
I heard the song again but it was different this time. It was faster.
"Rowan it's fine," the music stopped as soon as my mother said that.
A shadowy figure appeared on the roof. I was sure it was the silhouette but he was covering his face in a hood.
"Rose what's going on? the silhouette asked.
He had a very young and smooth voice. Rose is my mother's name.
"Stop being shy! He already heard your music," my mother shouts toward him. "I don't recall taking orders from you. I want to know why you broke the rules." I just looked at them confused.
"Rules?" I asked.
My mother glared at me as if to tell me to shut up.
"I was just picking up my son."
Rowan crosses his arms, "Are you gonna have him turned?"
I have no idea what turned means. I don't think I want to know.
"No! That is way too dangerous!" mom yelled back.
Rowan seemed to disappear again.. Mother looked at me. no. behind me? I felt a hand around my neck
"Rowan!" my mom yelled angrily.
I could feel my heart racing. I couldn't move.
"what's gonna stop me or anyone else from killing him?" Rowan spoke in threatening voice but somehow it didn't scare me.
" I'll get Albert's protection for now hes under mine. Hopefully, I can obtain yours too," mom said calmly.
Rowan stayed quite for a moment.
"why should I? I'm not scared of you."
I tried to piece together what's going on.
"Please Rowan! Let me keep my boy!" Mom pleaded. she was so upset. I didn't think she cared that much.
"...I'll tell Albert and let him decide..." Rowan's hand left my neck and when I turned around he was gone.
"what's going on?" I asked mom.
Quickly, she started to walk inside without answering my question.
"mom?"I followed after her into the living room.
"sit down," she said sitting on the couch. I sat down like she said.
"I'll explain, when me and Chester divorced, I moved into the city nearby. I met Albert there. I fell in love with him but he told me that he can't we can't be together unless I turned," mom said.
I interrupted her by saying "what does turned mean?"
She glared at me, "I was getting to that. You see, Albert's a vampire-"
I cut her off again "vampire?"
"Just listen and be quiet!" she yelled.
I nodded even though I was confused.
"I told Albert he could turn me into a vampire. The only problem was that it's very dangerous. Most people don't survive. but I did. He turned me into a vampire and took me to wrathford. He told me, 'Wrathford is full of the vampires I've turned and humans they've claimed. Most everyone you'll meet here is either a vampire or belongs to one"
I paused to make sure she was done talking, "so you took me to a vampire town?? Do i belong to you??" I was trying to sound calm but i was confusead and a little scared.
My mom was a fricken vampire!
"Well yes, but it's complicated," she said reluctantly.
I sighed, "All right fine. but what do you mean by get Albert's protection?" She stared at me like i was a dumb kid. "Albert is not the only the strongest but also the leader of wrathford. You get his protection no one not even Rowan will hurt you."
I was a little hurt that she thought I needed protectant but I can't argue with her.
I replied, "One more question. Who is Rowan? I know he attacked me. He was also at the city."
Mom sat for a moment thinking like it was a hard question.
"I guess you could say hes Albert's..
messenger. Rowan helps albert run errands and keep track of the people in wrathford. He often doesn't like showing his face. Thats why he communicates with his flute. Which normally only vampires can hear. but I guess you're an exception."
Only I can hear him? Well that explains why everyone was so suprised. I wonder what he looks like. I wonder if his face is as Beautiful as his music? I can't wait to see him again.
