ALL ABOUT VAMPIRES (EDITED!)

Chapter 6 - Why won't you look at me?!

I sighed. I was full.

"Hey, Tanya, thanks. I can't breathe anymore."  I said and smiled at fair haired girl as she tried to fill my plate with more food.

"Mich, where is mama? I want to talk to her." I said as I got up. Mich got up with me fast with his face concerned.

"Um.. Yeah, you go to the living room, I'll go get her." he said and got up.

"Oh it's ok, I can go myself." I waved him off.

"Anya. Sit. I'll go get her" he said in serious matter frightening me a little and stormed out of the room before i could follow him. Tanya got out of room quietly.

"She is feeding." Vlad said while sipping at his coffee and reading a book.A Tale of two cities.One of my favorite.

"Why isn't she eating with us-... Oh... Oh!" i sat back down. He looked at me over the book.

" I know this is a bit hard for you.." he started but I just burst out.

" A bit..? A bit?!Do you have any idea what it's like to find out that everything you thought was myth is actually TRUE?! Oh and, by the way, my mother and brother who I thought were dead, are a part of that myth!Oh and my almost friend, who actually isn't my friend but my FIANCEE, and is actually very bitchy towards me, and probably, I am just like a sick puppy for him! A mere human being!And on the top of it I have to become a monst-" now he cut me.

" Oh, and you think i like the fact that I have to marry you? Do you think I like the fact that I am marrying a girl i saw twice in my life, for whom I came all the way from Serbia just to persuade her to come back with me and what? Should we just go to the sunset with little birdies singing and little vamp boys and vamp girls running around us?!You think I like the fact that I can not be with the girl I love?!" he started yelling, his accent thick, popping R,SH and J out.And I found his voice even more attractive. No!

"What about the boy I love?!"  we both stood now facing each other practically in each others faces, just a few inches parting us. We stood looking furiously at the other and both of us breathing hard. My eyes started filling with tears and I sat back in my chair still looking at him. His face became softer.

"Anya.." he stretched his hand towards my face but someone coughed silently from the doors. Vlad quickly put his hand down and i looked in the other direction to wipe roughly tears away. I heard my brothers voice from the doors.

"Anya. Mama is expecting you." His words were very formal but his voice was gentle. I got up from my chair and without looking at either of them I just said: " Vlad. Mich" and got out of the room.

I was walking fast.My God, was i furious! How dare he?! Like I was all up for this! Does he think I like the idea of leaving all I just got to know.. Again!No. No, I am not doing this again. I am not going through the same suffering!Tears filed my eyes again and for the second time I wiped them of roughly, as if they were going to burn me. But they would, wouldn't they? They would burn their way down my face and let the others smell my fear of the unknown. And my sorrow for losing the known.

I was in front of the living room. I took a deep breath and went inside.My mother stood where I first saw her.In front of the fire place but now she was not facing me.She was looking at the paintings above the fireplace.Paintings of two people. Male and Female to be exact.

"Hello,mama" I said in Russian.

"I..I need to talk to you.I mean you hardly said anything to me since I came here." I said laughing nervously.Quietly.

"I just..I need you.So much happened. Papa was beating the daylight out of me, you know. He started drinking. Everyone..Well, hates me here.I just..." i stopped. She wasn't paying attention.

"Mama.. Say something.I thought you died." i whispered.

"All these years.. Why haven't you send me a message? Anything just to.. Mama,please.." i was desperate now.. Tears gathered in my eyes once more. I started shaking. 

"Mama,please! Why won't you look at me?!" i yelled. 

She turned slowly towards me and shook replaced my anger.She was all bloodied. Her face and her pale blue blouse.

"Don't you ever..Ever. Disturbed me again while I am having my meal. Ever." Slowly she started towards me and i huddled backwards.She walked past me and reached the doors not even sparing me a glance. Over her shoulder she said:

"Oh.And..I am dead". She let the doors slide shut as she got out.
