Chapter 5: Markie

Celeste P.O.V

I never thought I would see the day when I saw Maria's twin brother standing in front of me. "I thought you were dead" I say before I could even think.

"Guess not. Now can I come in, its starting to get a little windy."

"Oh, yeah of course sorry."

He mumbles no problem while he walks in.

"Maria! It's been so long since we've seen each other!" He yells.

"Who are you?" She asks not moving from the stairs.

"I'm not surprised you don't know who I am, I'm your twin brother, Markie."

Maria P.O.V

I have a twin!! Was all that went through my head. I can't believe I didn't rememer him. Why wouldn't I? Unless I wasn't told we were siblings.

"Right well, Miss Maria, I will go start breakfast while you and your brother catch up." Why was he being so formal again? Oh, no one can know about our 'relationship'. "Alright. Markie, I guess I will show you to your old room? Or them guest room?" I wasn't really sure where he would stay to be honest.

"Uh, the guest room, I don't have an old bedroom. I never lived here." He said while looking down.

"Oh. Okay well follow me."

After getting him settled we went back downstairs to talk.

"So why didn't you live here?"

"Mom and dad didn't want me."

I was confused. Why wouldn't they want their son.

"Why? I mean, you seem like a nice person."

"They didn't want me because I'm.... I'm different."

Okay now I'm even more confused.

"Different how?"

"You probably won't believe me..." He says looking away again.

I get up and go sit on his lap to get his attention."Try me." I say.

"I'm a vampire. Most vampires don't turn until they're seventeen but I turned early so they didn't want me because they were afraid." He says looking scared that I might laugh at him.

"Well, just because your different doesn't mean I'm going to kick you out" I kissed his cheeck and gore up from his lap.

"Really?"

"Really. But I need to know, are there any other siblings I should know about?" He laughs before saying

"Actually yeah, we have an older brother. His name is Demetri, he's nineteen."

"And why wasn't I told any of this?"

"I have no clue. Maybe you just forgot."

None of this makes sense. Why would my parents keep the existence of my two brothers from me? I wonder if I'll be able to meet Demetri. But either way, I can't believe I have family left. Markie told me he came back because its our coming of age birthday, and because he wanted to see his favorite sister of course. But I can't help but wonder if I'll end up being a vampire also. Some part of says it will happen and the other says that its all ridiculous. I don't know what to believe anymore. All I do know is that I'm supposedly cursed. I should learn as much about this curse as I possibly can.

Celeste P.O.V

I can't believe he came back. I wonder if we should tell him about us. I'll have to think it through, I'm not really how sure how protective of his sister he will be.
