The party started an hour ago it's just getting dark outside. I sat and wondered was Roc and his brothers going to arrive.

"Ayana, you've been sitting here for the longest. " Torrance said. "The least you can do is eat since you won't get up and dance."

"Yeah, I'll eat in a minute. " I said paying no mind to her as I watched people walk in and out of the house.

Still no sign of Roc.

"Okay. What's wrong?" She asked sitting down.

Just then I saw Ray walk in followed by Jacob, Craig, and Roc.

"Nothing. " I smiled. I got up and walked to the door.

"Whats up lil mama?" Craig greeted me.

"Hey!" He said a little too hyper. They all giggled at my excitement.

"Aye, this party is live!" Ray said making his way through the house leaving everyone else standing there awkwardly.

"Well, looks who's here. Glad you guys could make it. " Gabriel said as he dapped the three. "Food and refreshments are ever there. Roc right?" He said turning to Roc.

My cheeks burned. I knew what he was about to do.

"Yeah. " Roc answered.

"Come sit with. Let me talk to you for a second. " My brother insisted. Roc followed him into the backyard and they sat down.

"What's that about?" Craig asked. Craig was the shortest of the four. His hair was platinum blonde and even though he was dark skinned, that didn't stop his skin from looking pale. His teeth were also sharp.

Damn, did sharp teeth run in the family?

"I have no idea?" I lied. They continued through the party catching up with Ray andI snuck into the backyard to eavesdrop on Gabriel and Roc's conversation.

"So, where are you from?" I heard Gabriel ask.

"I'm originally from California but moved out here. It's a little too sunny out there. " Roc laughed.

"How do you feel about my sister?"

Goddamn Gabriel! Cutting right to the chase I see. Roc paused for a moment. I was dreading to hear his answer.

"I think she's alright. She's pretty cool I guess. " Roc answered truthfully.

That's it? He thinks I'm cool?

"That's it? You think she's cool?" Gabriel asked. Atleast we can agree on one thing.

"Yeah. She kind of cute too. "

Kind of?

"What if I told you that she liked you?" Gabriel asked.

"I can't do this. " Roc said shaking his head. "She can't like me?"

Huh?

"Why not?" Gabriel asked.

"She just can't. Besides, I'm not boyfriend material anyways. " Roc admitted. He got up from his seat.

"The hell you mean you're not 'boyfriend material'?"

"Look I meant what I said alright!" Roc said. Slight irritation in his voice.

"Hey man, don't get snappy with me. I'm just looking out for my sister."

"Well if it involves me then don't. "

With that being said, Roc turned and tried to walk away from Gabriel. But him being my brother, he grabbed Roc's shoulder violently.

Knowing my brother, I know he didn't mean to grab him so roughly. He can't help the fact that he's heavy handed. Roc didn't know that though. He whipped around quickly and punched Gabriel dead in the face.

Gabriel was no punk.

He punched Roc in his face as well. Roc became angry and punched Gabriel a few times in the face then lifted him into the air by his collar.

I couldn't watch this anymore.

"Roc stop!" I yelled. "Put him down! What are you doing!?"

He turned to me. Rage filling his eyes. They were a completely different color which scared the living shit out of me. I paused and stared at them.

As if on cue, all three of his brothers came running into the backyard.

"Oh shit. " I heard Ray say as we continued to stare each other down, my brother still being held in thin air.

Roc is one strong ass teen.

"Not again. " Craig said running to help Gabriel. "Put him down!"

Before I knew it, Roc was breathing extremely hard. Is chest moving up and down along with his breaths. Instead of letting him down softly, he threw Gabriel onto the cement.

Hard
.

"Man, Roc! What the fuck!" Jacob shouted. He tried to grab Roc but he snatched his arm away from him and ran back through the house and across the street to his home.

"What just happened?" I asked. My body shivered noticeably.

"Nothing. He just has a bit of a... Anger problem. " Jacob lied scratching the back of his head.

I'm not stupid.

"I need to go check on him. " I said as I began to walk.

"NO!" Ray shouted as he stopped me. "You can't go over there!"

"Why not?"

"You just can't Ayana!"

I ignored him and ran as fast as I could across the street. I heard them all yelling at me to come back but I ignored them. I bursted through the doors of his home and looked around.

It was pitch black. I couldn't see my hand infront of my face.

"ROC?" I yelled out. It was dead silence. I became worried. "ROC?!"

"Go away." I heard a deep voice say. I walked to where I heard the voice but tripped over something and fell into someone as they caught me.

"Roc?" I asked more calmly feeling on his arm.

"Just go home Ayana. " He said calmly.

"No. Not until you tell me what's going on. You put on quite a show over there. " I said still unable to see.

"Please. I don't want to hurt you. Go home. " He said.

"You're not going to hurt me. Just tell me what's wrong and what the hell is wrong with your eyes?"

"If I tell you, you won't want to talk to me anymore. You'll be scared. "

I sat and thought about what he just said.

"Can you turn on the lights? Your voice is creepy in the darkness. " I asked.

"Promise me you won't run. And promise me you won't tell anyone. " He said. I promised.

I felt him get up as I felt the floor beneath me. I must've been sitting on his lap. Before I knew it, the light came on.

I squinted my eyes and waited as they adjusted to the lights. My eyes shot open at the figure infront of me.

His eyes weren't dark brown anymore.

They were
red.

His skin wasn't caramel anymore
.

It was pale white with a hint of caramel.

His nails weren't as short as they were.

They grew
long within a matter of minutes.

His teeth were still sharp.

But they got sharper as he opened his mouth and showed his
fangs.

"I'm a vampire Ayana. "
