His Little Vampire [BOOK SIX]

08.

**Jinx**

"I killed someone."

The words left my lips and they tasted bitter as I stood there with my face flushed and tears burning at my eyes.
I was overwhelmed and I knew the side effects from that drug was still in my system, so I knew I wasn't thinking properly as I stood there waiting to be screamed at.
To be shunned.
To be thrown out and forgotten.
Which was probably best.
I mean I killed someone important to Ozzie.

"Jinx."
I squeezed my eyes shut turning my head as my brows knitted.
"I get it if you don't want me-"

"Jinx, look at us." My dad told me as I forced my eyes to open to look at the adults.
Carefully, my dad took both of my hands and sat us on the couch, there was no anger on either of their faces as my papa knelt down.

"When did this happen?" Dad asked me, his voice was gentle and soothing, it made the tears reappear as I blinked which made them fall slowly.

"Y-Yesterday." I choked back a sob.
"But it was an accident." I cried harder sitting there.
"I was so h-hungry and I didn't mean to, he was just right there and no one saw us. Well, Ricky did, but now that he knows, he wants to be the one I feed from so I won't hurt anyone else, I know what I did was wrong and I know I'll have to tell Ozzie the truth, b-but right now I'm so scared and confused because all I've known up until two years ago, was to feed from other vampires and maybe that's why my real parents hated me so much." I sat there crying as tears began staining my cheeks.

"I'm a fucking monster." I looked away.

"You are not a monster, Jinx, baby look at us." I shook my head as more tears slipped.
"Jinx." I heard papa speak up and it made me tremble before I forced my eyes back on them.

"First of all, like your dad just said, you're not a monster. Did you kill someone out of malice? No, like you said, you were hungry and sometimes that blinds judgement on how we act. I'm not justifying what you did was a good thing, you took away someone's child, someone's partner." Papa sighed softly.
"But we can't change the past, what's done is done, all we can do now is move forward and work on controlling that hunger of yours." He frowned rubbing the side of his neck.

"And who is this Ricky kid?" He asked me.
I wiped my eyes frowning.
"He's no one really, just some jerk at school who had a huge crush on Leif then started liking me when he found out I was available, I can't stand him sometimes, but he's not as bad as Amber was trying to make him out to be. He's just an asshole." I frowned deeply.

"I'm getting a lot of mixed messages about this kid." Papa arched a brow as I glared looking away.
"Again, he's no one important, why are you guys not angry at me or yelling? I just told you I killed someone-"

"And you're a vampire, Jinx." Papa frowned at me.
"Like you just said, up until two years ago? You were living with your brother and your life was a lot different from what it is now, no one expected you to change into a whole new person when you were raised on that kind of lifestyle, again, we don't condone murder, but we will keep this under the rug until it needs to be brought back to our attention. The last thing we want right now is mourning parents demanding for you to be killed." He explained.

"Can they do that?" I asked with knitted brows.
"You killed their child, Jinx, no one thinks straight when they're mourning, especially when another kid was behind the reason for the death." Papa sighed looking at me.
"So for now, keep that to yourself and we'll work on cleaning up the mess, okay?" He told me.

I frowned before nodding.
Dad smiled softly brushing his fingers through my hair.
"It's late and a school night, so off with you." He said now.
I looked at him sighing softly, I got to my feet and made my way to the hallway, turning to the two who were watching me.
