My True Identity

Chapter 23

Chapter 23

Those 2 words changed my life forever. Dhamphiric Lycanthrope. “What?” I asked, my mouth suddenly feeling dry. He nodded solemnly. “I...I know its har” he began but I cut him off with a bitter laugh. “Hard?” I asked letting out another bitter laugh. “You have NO idea Saltzman, NO idea” I told him. He looked at me sadly before grabbing my arms with unnatural strength causing me to tense up. “Selena! You have to listen! You are a half vampire and half werewolf!” he shouted trying to get it into my head. I backed away shaking my head in denial. I turned around to run when he stopped me with his words. “You want proof?” he asked softly. I didn’t make a move and he took that as a yes. “When...when you were at the hospital, you went through a change. It wasn’t a werewolf change because you were already a werewolf. It was a vampire change because after that you had heightened senses and you became more powerful” he explained. I looked at him. It did make sense but......but it couldn’t be true. I shook my head once again and he sighed. “Ok, I have no choice other than to do this....” he trailed off before cutting his wrist. I gasped as a pool of blood formed on the floor. “Drink” he said shoving it in my face. I looked at him in shock and tried to push him off but he was too strong. Before I knew it I was sucking blood and............it tasted good.

After proving to me that I was a vampire Mr Saltzman drove me to a restaurant. “Are you alright?” he asked looking at me with worry. “Just.....shocked with the discovery” I replied. He nodded and carried on driving. A few minutes later we arrived at an expensive restaurant and sat down. “What would you like?” asked the waiter.

“We haven’t chosen yet, give us a few minutes” Mr Saltzman said even though I had chosen what I wanted. As soon as the waiter left I shot him a glare. “What was that for?" I asked him. He rolled his eyes and ignored me. We sat there in silence whilst I scanned the menu continuously. Just then a man arrived and sat down next to me. I looked at Mr. Saltzman in shock but he shot me a reassuring look. “Hello Selena” the man said flashing me a toothy smile.

“Have we met?” I asked. At that both the men started laughing as if I’d just cracked a joke. I felt left out. “What?” I asked angrily causing both of them to shut up. I glared at them whilst they both looked down like little kids. “Would someone please explain what’s happening?” I asked in irritation. Mr Saltzman sighed and began the explanation. He told me that this man was my biological father and he was a vampire. My mother however was a werewolf. They were both running from the Supernatural Order Government as it was illegal in the supernatural world to mate with another species. My biological mother was friends with a human woman named Catherine McKenzie. Catherine was trying for a baby with her husband but she couldn’t conceive. Therefore they had given me to the McKenzie’s who had promised to look after me and never let me find my real parents.

“Wait, so why are you here if you told my mum that I wasn’t supposed to find out about you” I asked my ‘biological’ father.

“You have recently gone through your change and after that you have to be around one of your vampire parents to complete the change” he explained.

“But I wasn’t with my ‘biological’ mother when I changed into a werewolf” I said.

“It’s different for werewolves” he replied. I rolled my eyes.

“What’s your name again?” I asked him.

“Kristopher Vincent and your real name is Alexandra Bellatrix Vincent” he replied. I raised an eyebrow. “Alex What?” I asked. He gave me a small smile.

“Alexandra Bellatrix Vincent which means defender of mankind and female warrior” he answered.

“Oh” was all I managed.

“Where’s my real mother?” I asked him.

“She’s in my house in New York” he explained. “She misses you a lot. She wanted to come as well but I couldn’t risk anyone finding out” he said.

“So the Supernatural Order Government is still after you?” I asked him.

“They’re not exactly searching for us but if anyone sees us then we’ll be in trouble” he explained. I nodded. “Ok and how does Mr Saltzman come in all of this?” I asked.

“I’m also a vampire and since I’m your father’s best friend I’m responsible for looking after you” Mr Saltzman explained. “Ok, so how am I going to complete the change?” I asked.

“You have to come with me back to New York” he explained and my mouth fell to the floor.

“No!” I shouted. He sighed.

“You need to Selena! I have to be there for you first feeding and teach you how to control your powers. It’ll only take a month” he pleaded.

“I....Give me some time” I said. He nodded.

“You have 1 week” he instructed.  Before I could say anything he was gone and I was left staring at the spot he sat. I looked up at Mr. Saltzman who was staring at me intently. I sighed feeling stressed after all of it sunk in. “Let’s go” he said standing up and dragging me to his car. I obeyed.

Once we got home it was 2:20am and I rushed up to my bedroom. I threw on my pyjamas and jumped in bed feeling extremely exhausted. I was so tired that my mind wasn’t functioning properly so I decided it was best that I deal with all my issues later.  ‘My life was so messed up and it kept getting worse’ was the last thought I had before I was pulled into a dreamless sleep.
