The New York Mystery Crew: Jackson's Past (book 2)

Chapter 2: The Vampire Siblings

On March 4, 2018, Jackson was walking through his school when he bumped into his friends, Caleb and his younger sister Rachel.

"Are you okay Jack?" Came Rachel's sweet voice. Jackson looked up from the floor and met her eyes, which were spiralling in different hypnotic colors. "I-I'm fine." Jackson replied. "Rachel, keep the spirals to yourself." Caleb commented. "Fine. I will." Rachel responded with a huff.

13-year-old Caleb Heart and 9-year-old Rachel Heart were brother and sister.
Caleb had dark brown hair, dark brown eyes that were currently glowing a strange blood-red shade, and he was tall and unusually pale.
Rachel had curly dark brown hair, dark brown eyes that could hypnotize Jackson at any second, and her skin was currently just as pale as her brothers, which is pale even for them.

"Do you enjoy hypnotizing people?" Jackson asked, curiously. "A little bit, yes." Rachel replied. "Why?" Jackson asked again. "I don't know. I guess it's a female vampire thing." Rachel responded.

"Female vampire?" Jackson echoed. He then heard Caleb sigh in frustration. "I'll find Lisa and then Rachel and I will explain why she keeps saying that we're vampires." He said. "Okay." Jackson replied, awkwardly.

"The last time we were alone, I fed off you because I couldn't wait for lunch that day." Rachel commented. "Yeah, not very helpful." Jackson responded. "I got thirsty!" Rachel said, defensively. Jackson didn't get the chance to respond, as he saw those colors again.

Jackson's dark brown eyes widened once he made eye-contact with the colors. Soon, he found himself relaxing to the point where anything Rachel said seemed reasonable. Anything she said would be the truth and there was no other opinion in his mind except for hers.

Rachel opened her mouth and Jackson tilted his head in a certain direction. He felt her teeth sink into his neck and sighed in relaxation. He was finally back home. After over a year of only catching glimpses of the pretty colors only once in a couple months, he was finally back where he belonged; Blissfully trapped under Rachel's hypnosis.

His muscles were starting to feel so weak and tired, but as long as Rachel was happy and fed, it would be worth it. He was starting to feel the effects of the blood loss, but didn't care. His eyelids were so heavy, but he had to keep them open, otherwise Rachel would end the bliss in punishment. All.. he had to do.. was... stand.... a-and..... relax......

It felt so nice to let Rachel completely drain him of his blood. At least until he snapped out of her hypnosis.

"W-What's... going on?" He asked, groggily. Rachel stopped doing... whatever she was doing in order to respond. "How are you awake already?" She asked in return. "I don't know. It kinda feels like I was forcefully awakened." He replied, casually brushing aside the fact that he had just said "awakened" even though he didn't know why he had been asleep in the first place.

"Maybe that's because I pulled you out of her control." Caleb responded, making Jackson jump. "What's going on here?" Lisa asked from behind him. "I got thirsty." Rachel replied, shrugging. "So you drank Jack's blood?" Lisa asked in confusion.

12-year-old Lisa Starr was Jackson's older sister. She had long golden blonde hair that was down to her waist, forest green eyes, light skin, and was taller than normal people her age.

"Listen, Rachel has made a few slip-ups here and again and I think it's finally time to explain why she says that her and I are vampires all the time." Caleb said. "Okay." Lisa replied. "Spill."

"We were born vampires." He explained with a serious expression on his face. Jackson's eyes widened. "Let me get this straight.. I'm dating a vampire." Lisa said. "That's correct." Caleb replied, stuffing his hands inside his pockets.
