That voice...the voice from earlier....

I slowly turned around, but before I could scream, he threw a hand over my mouth. "Don't scream. I'm here to help you," he said in a calm voice. "Now I'm about to take you to your room. Don't scream," he said giving me a warning look. I nodded, he threw me over his shoulder and I yelped. I closed my eyes, and within seconds, he was opening a door. I opened my eyes. We were in my room. He set me down on my feet.

"Who are you," I asked looking slightly dazed.

"Tristan. I'm their cousin. But it's best you don't tell them I'm here," he said taking a seat on my bed.

"And why is that," I asked, looking at him skeptically.

"They think I'm dead." He said it as if he were stating that the sky were blue. As if this were all normal. He placed his hands behind his head, and lied back.

I gawked at him, "Why would they think that?" Don't push it, Nyla. You don't need to know.

"I did die. I was just...turned into a vampire afterwards. I was one of the few humans related to them, and once people found out I was human, they came after me. I was killed, but then Hayden's dad found me and changed me. Nobody knows I'm alive, but it's for my own protection."

I walked over to him and sat down, "So why are you here," I asked, looking down at him. He sat up.

“Like I said, I'm here to help you. Some vampires found out about you living here with them. They know you're bonded to Hayden, and now they're coming after you. You and Hayden have to leave...soon," he said, eyes beaming into mine.

"How'd they find out," I asked shakily.

"I don't know. All I know is, you can't live here much longer."

"But...what about my mom?" How could I ever leave her behind? How could I leave the one person who truly knew me?

"Call her now," he said in a demanding tone. I pulled out my evo and went to my contacts. I scrolled down until I saw Mom in my phone.

I hesitated, "What am I going to say," I asked, looking up at him.

"I'll tell you when you call." I pushed the call button, and put the phone to my ear. It rang twice before she answered.

"Hello" she answered. I smiled. I missed her voice.

"Hey mom."

"Hey Ny. Having fun at Blake's," she asked, I could hear the smile in her voice.

"Yes, actually I wanted to talk to you about that."

"What is it?" I looked over at Tristan.

"Tell her you were invited to go on vacation with them," he mouthed. "No," I whisper yelled, covering the mouthpiece.

"Just do it," he hissed.

I rolled my eyes, "Mom, they want to know if I could go on vacation with them." I heard her laugh.

"You found out didn't you?" Okay...now I'm confused.

"What?"

"You found out what they are didn't you?"

I sat there shocked, "How'd you...how...what?" I couldn't even form a coherent sentence.

"They're vampires," she said.

Again, I sat there shocked, "How'd you know," I warily.

"His hands...Hayden's...only vampires are that cold. And when the rest came over, I knew they were," she answered calmly.

"How do you even know about them," I asked. I was panicking. Here I was thinking my mother was clueless, and she knew way before I did. What else could she possibly be hiding from me?

"Honey...I am a vampire" she said calmly. Whoa!! Hold on... Did I just hear that right?!

"WHAT!!!! What...I don't understand...I...” I was cut off.

"I was turned into one. Remember that night your dad and brother died? Your dad had found out that night. He went out and got drunk." I started to piece everything together, my eyes were watering now. She continued, "Your dad came home with a gun. Your brother and I were downstairs. He knew about me too. He saw your father with the gun and tried to get it away from him. When I tried to help, your brother told me to leave and go far away, until later on that morning. He said I would be safe. So I did...I ran away. And when I came back..they were dead..." you could tell she was crying, she sounded all choked up.

Tears started to slip down my face, “I’m sor...”

"Don't...don't apologize. It's not your fault," she said in a stern voice. "Now, I know you have to leave. Do whatever you can to be safe. Just stay with them. They will help you." Her voice had become soft.

"Mom...where are you?" I asked still a little choked up.

"I'm in the vampire world right now, but I'll tell you about that another day okay," she said, her voice was slowly becoming calmer.

"Okay mom, just...be safe. Okay?"

"Okay Ny. You be safe too. I love you. Hey, I have to go. Bye sweetheart."

"I will. Bye Mom. I love you too." I looked down and clicked the end button.

I looked up at Tristian. Sympathy was plastered on his face, "I'm sorry Nyla..." he reached over towards me and embraced me in a huge hug. I immediately wrapped my arms around him, and cried into his chest. This was way too much to take at one time...
