Better Than I Know

Chapter 3

It's been such a long day; I've always been home schooled so the whole high school experience is kinda new to me. I know that none of it is real and that it's just a mission to me but Lila seems to be a good girl, I enjoy her company and her friends seems nice too.

Your mind should be focused Beth, you know that if he find your weakness he'll use it against you; he'll use them against you. My subconscious glared.

If he is clueless to my identity then it won't be a problem, I tried to reason with myself. It's the first time in years that I am surrounded by people, sometimes I wish I was born in a normal family.

I recall the conversation me and my mother had after my father's death.

"Your dad died a hero, Beth." My mother said. I was 8 years old then.

"Dad was hunting monsters, right mum?" I said.

"Yes honey, he died hunting creatures of the dark, creatures that will terrify people if let loose." She explained I could see the pain of loss in her eyes. She lost her husband, her love, her soul mate.

"When I grow up, I want to hunt them too and protect people." I said laying down on the bed, my eyes hurting from all the crying.

"Don't worry, love. You'll grow up to be the best hunter, but remember no one should know you exist I want to keep you safe." She said giving me a kiss.

Ever since that day she started hunting herself, I rarely saw her at home, I was her secret she knew well if anyone knew about me; they'll take advantage of that.

I grew up with fighting skills, I guess I inherited them from mum and dad, years flew by and I became a teenager but I had no friends no one knew about me except my nanny she was the one who was always there for me when my mum was on her missions, she knew everything about me, she was the one teaching me, she always treated me like her own daughter.

"Beth honey, I am leaving." Mum said before leaning and giving me a kiss, I had a bad feeling the whole day but then again I always get nervous before one of her missions but this time was different.

"Mum, can't you just stay?" I grumbled hugging her from behind before she exit the door.

"You know honey, you're old enough now. I must go." She said ceasing my face.

I was 15 then, this mission was dangerous she was after a powerful vampire, I saw her doing the research before locating him and now she was going after him. I wish I nagged her more to stay and not go that day, then she would be still human, as you can guess the vampire caught her and instead of killing her he decided to torture her by turning her into one of his kind.

She came to the house after the transition was made,

"Mum, is that you?" I asked with my eyes closed, it's about 5 in the morning, I was awakened by a noise but it turned out just to be mum.

"Yes honey." She said, she was standing far away.

"Mum why are you standing far?" I said getting up and approaching her.

"Stay where you are." She shouted.

"Beth stay away from her." My nanny said rapping her arms around me; she was holding the bottle of holy water.

"Nanny what are you doing? It’s just mum." I said trying to break free from her hold.

"Not anymore, sweetheart." She said more like a whisper.

"Mum, mum...." I tried to speak but I had no voice, I was waiting for her to tell me that's it's not true..... Anything.

"Beth, take care of yourself honey." That was the last words I heard her saying before storming out of the door.

 And now after 2 years I finally found him, the vampire that turned my mother, that made me an orphan even though my mother was still alive- I think, if you call it living, that turned my life into hell- Sebastian.

He's a powerful vampire but not invincible he could be killed with a stack in the heart like any other vampire and that was my plan, to turn him to ache. My main concern right now is to get Lila and her friends out of this so they won't get hurt.
