"Your lying!", I say shaking, "My mother looks nothing like that!" Pookie just shakes her head and starts pacing the floor. Why was she the one acting so nervous, I was the one being told that my whole life has been one big lie?! "I know this is all a lot to take in all at once", she says, "but it's important that you understand that your mother didn't give you up, you were taken from her and put with a new family when you were just a baby. Your mother, Reana, is one of the most gifted of us all! And your father couldn't except this and had her put in a mental facility. He convinced them that she was delusional and a threat to herself and others. And when she tried explaining to the counselors there what she was and the gifts she possessed they put her on medications that kept her sedated most of the time, and when she was awake she was so out of it that her gifts didn't work. All these years have went by and no one knew where Reana was until now. Somehow she's getting her gifts back and she's able to communicate with us alittle at a time. I'm hoping that soon she will be strong enough to tell us where she is so we can get her out of there."
"All these years? Pookie your my age....your talking like you knew my mother when I was born, but you would've been a baby too. Tell me what's going on...why are you talking like this....what am I missing here?" Pookie stopped in her tracks. I guess she hadn't realized how she had rambled on. Turning to me she says...."I've been told the story of your mother by one of my friends, you see, this person doesn't age...he's been 17 for many years and he knew your mother back then, they were close friends. But Susie it's not my place to tell you who or what he is, that's something he'll want to tell you himself." "Someone that doesn't age, really Pookie!? You must be joking....I've seen those Twilight movies, I know what your trying to say....one of your friends is a vampire, you really expect me to believe that?! I've met all your friends and none of them sparkle or avoid the sunlight, none of them have on those gaudy looking rings to keep them from burning up like on Vampire Diaries! I was just a normal teenagers once remember, I'm up to date on the vampire mumbo jumbo!" I couldn't believe it but she actually laughed at me!
"Susie Susie, you may think you were once normal but you'd be wrong. You were born with gifts you haven't even discovered yet and you have no idea what the truth is about vampires. They're NOTHING like what you've seen on TV! The sun doesn't bother them anymore then it does any of us and they only drink blood every once in a while. Only to keep strong. They eat regular food just like everyone else and when it's time for blood they get it from a blood bank....there's no need to kill anyone when there's perfectly good 'donated' blood sitting in a cooler somewhere." She said all this like it was no big deal, just a typical day.
"Okay, so your telling me that I've actually met a real vampire?" With that she actually chuckled! "Yes silly! It's not that hard to believe is it, after all I've explained to you?!" I wasn't sure what to believe at this point.
We had been talking for well over 3 hours before we realized it and my stomach was growling like crazy. How could I possibly be hungry after all the information I've just taken in? We decided to take a break to eat and maybe give me a chance to absorb the things I just learned. I was hoping for us to eat alone, after all it was only 6am. But no such luck! There at our table sat Sebastian, Darla, Lyza and a new person I saw at the party but never caught his name. He was at our table for first day but I was too distracted by Sebastian. Him and Sebastian stood up as we approached, Sebastian offering me a seat beside him. The other boy, also very good looking, shook my hand....."Hi, I'm Eithan, sorry I didn't introduce myself before, it's very nice to meet you." "Likewise!", was all I said. What was up with the people around here? Everyone looks like they just stepped out of a magazine. But you would never know it by how nice everyone was.
I noticed that Eithan stared at Pookie alot and smile when she talked. Wonder is she had any idea that he was crushing on her. I must say I enjoyed breakfast! Being that close to Sebastian and talking and joking with all the others made me forget for a while, all the information Pookie had just layed on me. It was nice to not have to think about any of it for a minute!
After breakfast me and Pookie headed back to our room to get cleaned up and ready for class but not before Sebastian actually kissed me on the forehead. I thought my heart was gonna jump outta my chest. What was this boy doing to me? I wasn't sure but I definitely wasn't complaining. I've never felt like this about a boy before. I've had little crushes now and then but this was different, I think I was actually falling for him.
Pookie was in the shower singing the same song she always sings.....high pitched as ever. I couldn't being myself to tell her she sounded like a dying cat! I hadn't realized I had dozed off till the room changed. I was back in the white room with the woman Pookie called 'Reana.'
"Hello again my beautiful Susie," she said with a smile on her face. She looked weak and fragile! I could see the truth now....the woman standing in front of me WAS my real mother. How could I have not seen it before? The resembelance was uncanny! She sets on her bed before saying..."Did Megan explain everything to you? Do you understand who you are now...and who I am?" "Yes mother I know who you are, can you tell me where you are so we can help you escape?" "Not just yet my dear. I'm too weak to survive on the outside right now. But soon I will be strong again and we can be together. But like I've told you before, you must prepare for Daisy....she will be coming for you soon and if your not ready she will take your soul..." And with that the room faded and once again my mother was gone!
