The Truth Behind It All- Myth Chronicles Book One

Chapter One

Silvano woke up to a cow sniffing him and his clothes. "Pfft well morning to you too..." He said grumpily before looking around the barn. The windows were covered with black curtains which made sure that no sunlight entered the room. In the center of the room there were candles which were nearly used down to their stands. "Well this isn't creepy at all," he sighed and stood up, grabbing one of the candles to light his path.

A slightly familiar female voice sounded from above "If you plan on leaving then you're going to die. Just to let you know."

"Well thanks for the warm welcome lady," he muttered under his breath and crossed his arms.

A figure jumped down from the rafters above, landing on her feet in a crouched position before straightening. She wore the same hood as last night, with the hood covering half of her face "Well, so that you don't need to call me 'lady' again, my name is Jay."

He stared for a moment before quickly snapping out of it. "Uh... Yello. I'm Silvano," he said quickly.

Jay flipped off her hood and looked at him with now green-blue eyes "That doesn't exactly sound English."

He scowled and remained silent, already annoyed with his new acquaintance.

She shrugged and walked over to a room not to far away that he could see through, the doorway had an odd mixture of tack, weapons, and regular day surprise, coming out not much later with two plastic bottle filled with an odd red liquid, one of them she was drinking out of. She offered the other too him.

He backed up and spoke. "Uh, not trying to be rude or anything, but what the Hades is that?"

"Greek mythology I'm guessing? And something that all us vamps need. My Elite advised me to make you a trainee, so I didn't get it last night, and you're a new vamp, you need some." She replied cryptically, smirking and wiping some of the substance off her mouth.

He froze for a moment before slowly putting his hand on his teeth and felt around for lengthened canines. "So first you knock me out, then you bite me, then you knock me out again, and then you take me to your little barn place and drop a big bomb on me. You sure don't know how to hit on a guy, I can tell you that."

Jay rolled her eyes "Oh trust me, that's one of the most common things to happen. There's been much... Harsher ways to become a vampire. Be happy you were knocked out like that."

"Should I even ask?"

Jay went ahead and sat down on a small hay bale and sipped some more of the substance before replying "I'm sure you have many questions, so go ahead. Except for the harsher ways, I'd... Rather not talk about that." The tone in her voice showing that that subject was not open for discussion.

He raised an eyebrow, shrugged before walking over to the wall and leaning back against it. "Oookay lady. Whatever you say," he said sarcastically. "Just tell me when I can leave and if the vampire effects will wear off and I'll just be on my way."

"Nighttime, since you don't have the clothing for daytime travel, and most likely never." She replied casually, adjusting her position so that her legs were up on the hay bale and she was leaning backwards against another.

He growled quietly, not enjoying her complete coolness over the subject. "So I'm trapped here. With a girl. A... Special one at that but still a girl,"

"Till nighttime, yes. Though if you want my suggestion, I'd say at least stay till I teach you the basics. Else you'll die." Jay replied casually, sipping more out of her drink.

"Could you stop being so calm! You kidnapped me! I got a phone I can call the cops if I want. See how well you can put up with them," he then stuck his hand in his pocket and pulled out his phone and opened it before noticing the smashed screen and buttons.
