"Cousins? Harry? What the f-ck is happening?" I shout gaining all the attention
"Alice. Calm down. They are here for the fight, nothing bad" Harry attempts to restrain me as I begin panicking. I'm going to be in a house of blood thirsty vampires. 

God help me! I know I'm not religious but if you could-

"Alice, god isn't going to help you" Louis shakes his head; an amused smirk lay on his face "If anyone's gonna need help it's Harry" He speaks causing everyone but myself and Harry to snicker 
"Go on, Haz. Tell her" Summer says, clearly enjoying every moment of this
"Tell, me, what...?" I say slowly eyeing him carefully.

"Well you see, Alice. There's this thing and I- I have been meaning to tell you-!"
"Spit. It. Out" I grind my teeth. He begins looking around at everyone and everything, clearly debating what he needs to do. He let out a deep breath running his hands down his face before grabbing my arm and racing me out the room. Don't ask how I'm doing it but I am somehow keeping up with his running.

When we stop, we're in my fathers field. "Alice, listen... I have one more letter to give you-!"
"From my dad?" I cut him off, furious as to why he kept it from me
"Yeah, don't be mad, you weren't actually allowed to read it until the right moment, I don't know when the right moment is though, heck, I don't even know what the thing says... So here" He hands me a letter, which unlike the others, was folded into an envelope.

I tore it open as if I was a starved child getting food. The date at the top of the page, it was the day I was born, he basically planned this?

' To my darling Alice,

     By now, you'll know mostly everything. I can only hope Harry is treating you well since I can't be there to look after you.

It's weird to think right now, you're a small, little baby sleeping in your crib as I write this, but when the letter will be in your hands, you'll be a grown lady. 

I need to tell you a few things. I don't know how to put this Alice but you're a half breed. A dhampir. Now, listen to me. You are one of the most dangerous creatures known to the world at the moment, you'll be even more powerful when Harry changes you. 

Okay, now, I need you to know a few things. Alice, have you ever wondered why you're so smart? You have an ability, I like to call Power sensing. You can tell anything by looking into ones soul, you can pinpoint any part of a persons life, you can sense everything they know. 
Also, if you really put your mind to it, you can resist any type of mind-control, like if Summer wanted to see your future you could prevent it, if CeCe wants to be invisible around you, you can stop it, if Louis wants to read your mind, you can block it. Practise this, it'll soon be a natural habit, I like to call this Resistence.
Lastly, you can race-switch. This, Alice. Is extremely important. As you may already know you can live of either blood or human food. Sometimes you'll get thirsty for blood, you may not notice but you are. You'll want to tear everyone around you apart and drink them dry but Alice, you can control this. In your mind, you are human. Remember that. But try drink blood as often as you can, it'll keep you strong.

You have one weakness, temperature. Remember I'd never let you go to the beach? I couldn't risk you, Alice. The lower the temperature the better.

This is my last good bye, Alice. Harry will explain the rest, he'll look after you.

I know there is never a right time to say goodbye, so I don't really know what to say. I love you with all my heart, Alice. Even though you don't know who I am at this time but I hope when you're reading this, you love me as much as I love you. You are my first and only child. I can't stand the thought of ever having to leave you but I'd rather that than you die and leave me. Once again, I love you. 

You know, good byes hurt more than anything? Especially now I know we'll never say hello again. Live a long happy life with Harry, have kids, get a house. Just forget the past. Try forget me too, yeah? I don't want all my trouble weighing you down in your new life.

Yours truly,

Edgar x'

What do I feel? Nothing.
What should I feel? Anger? Betrayal? Hatred?
What do I want to feel? Just something. I just want to feel something.

But I am numb, I can't make sense of what I've just read. I'm- I'm a half breed? How? What? Why?
"Tell me" I speak quietly
"I'll tell you anything... Just ask" He speaks just as quiet
"How am I... A half breed?" 
He gulps loudly "Alice, this is a long story, can you just bare with me a moment?" He says and I nod "Alice, you're not like other humans nor are you like other dhampirs. Uhm, you remember when I told you Edgar tested on my father?" I nod "Well, it was all because of a prophecy. It has been foretold that a great, powerful creation shall roam the earth, ruling over the mystics. On the first blue moon of her 19th year she shall become a pale one" He stops speaking before pulling out a crumpled peice of paper from his pocket and reading from it "She would stand out among others. Hair as dark as a raven that ripples to her shoulders like a waterfall, her face pale, like the a moonlit night. Hidden strength and courage peak through the blackness of her eyes. She'll have a beautiful mind as well as body. But something dark is lurking behind her pretty face" He sighs "That was written over a hundred years ago, Alice. Want to hear more?" I nod eagerly "The girl, she was not conceived nor born. But in fact created. A man- A human, he'll practice and practice on many vampires until he gets it right and only then shall he make his daughter. His daughter shall be our saviour" He finishes.

"I- I don't understand!" I cry
"Calm down!" He steps towards me but I step back, warning him off with my eyes "Just, I'll try explain.. Your dad, Edgar, he, well he used my dads venom and blood to make the perfect chemical, he used his nerves to create the perfect reflex, he used my fathers cells to make the perfect brain, he used the parts of your mother to make you. He made you the perfect child, don't you understand? You're strong and desirable! You are what is written in the prophecy!" He raises his voice
"I'm a freak, Harry! I am nothing like what they say! I am weak and hated! It can't be me! Stop lying to me! Just stop it!" I cry 
"I'm not lying, Alice!" He yells
"Then tell me! How am I half!? How is it possible? Both my parents are human!" I shout, reasonably
"You... You have my blood too..." He doesn't finish his sentence as I fall to the floor, hyperventilating "Alice, calm down just... Listen to the sound of my voice. I think you're having a panic attack" He says though his voice is muffled in all my thoughts.

I've lived my whole life so easily, it was always so predictable and then Harry came and swept me off my feet. Not in the fairy tale way more like a horror movie. This is such a drastic change, I can barely keep up. All my life I've been living a lie. I discovered this a while back when I got the first batch of letters but now, now I know what I am I don't know if I'm dreaming or if this is just a massive joke, whatever it is. I'm sick and tired of it all. I just want to put my past behind me like my father said and just live up to the expectations of my future. The more anger I hold towards my past is just making me uncapable of becoming who I need to be. I need to be the person that saves Harry and Zayn and CeCe and everyone else. I need to save my kind. I was made to be that. I am still me, I haven't changed. I am still the girl who stood up to her bully, who got an A in physical education, I am still the girl who can swim laps around everyone. I'm still the girl who one multiple chess tournaments. I am still Alice. The truth hasn't changed me, it has somewhat made me.

"Alice?" Harry's voice is louder this time
"Uh, yeah?" I shake my head from my thoughts "What is happening?"
"You're a dhampir, remember?"
"Oh yeah"

His next words, they caught me off gaurd, I already know what he meant but hearing them out loud, it fazed me a little, I understand but it feels as if my brain short-circuited and needed to reboot. Everything around me was going fast-forward while I sit on the ground motionless just trying to comprehend everything.

What were his words? Well...

"You were made to be one of us"

The End.
