alisha’s pov

“DAD! wake up please dad” i kept shaking his body knowing that his life was being drained faster than water. i started pacing in front of his body. tears running from my eyes dropping to the ground. i knelt in front of him. grabbing the knife out of his heart and wiping it off i stuck it back in the case strapped to my belt which held up my black sweat pants. i was wearing a black shirt to match and be able to blend into the park better than someone who wore bright orange so when you look at it you go blind for a while. which i actually saw someone wear that. i mean come on are you trying to tell vampires hey come drink my blood. well i guess most people don’t believe in vampires so they wouldn’t think about it. i have to get my dad out of here. i can’t carry him back to the house i can carry him but just barely. i did a quick 360 check to find my dad’s car just a few feet away. i will have to save my tears for later right now i have to get him home. i put my hand under his neck and back of the knee. as soon as i lifted him up he groaned in pain. kids always hate to see their parents in pain mentally unless you are a devil child. well i actually have to see my dad in pain physically and knowing i caused it well lets just say my plan to save my tears for later wasn’t exactly working. when i got to the car i put him in the back seat and laid him down i ran to the drivers seat. i pulled out of the parking spot and sped down the highway. surprisingly no cops pulled me over. it took minutes to get back to my house but it felt like forever. i opened the door and put my dad’s body on his bed. what do i do? who do i call that i can tell? only one person popped into my head and i wish there was someone else but there isn’t so i have no other option. i grabbed the phone and dialed the number waiting for him to answer. “hello.” the voice said. “alex i need you now.” the voice waited a little what was he deciding what to wear. “alex it’s important i need you now.” i pleaded. he had hung up and for his sake he better be on his way here right now. i heard the doorbell ring but before i could even take a step alex walked in. i had looked into my dad’s room and in a blink of an eye he was gone. i bolted to the his room to see alex just looking at him shaking his head. “alex save him. he needs you right now.”i told him. “you want me to turn dad into a monster. you want me to make something people fear and pass off to make believe. even if i said i would he would kill anyone to survive. he could kill him and you would have to hunt him down and kill him again. his human emotions for you or anyone will be gone and chaos would use that against you. i still serve chaos but i do love you and i don’t want that happening to you.” he said not moving his eyes from dad’s blood. i saw what little life that was left in my dad slowly fade. the light in his eyes went away. i couldn’t stand it. my job is to keep people alive from these creatures and ended up killing my own dad. wait i killed him. my father the one who helped give me life the one that held me when i was scared the one who helped me when i was hurt was gone from my life because of me. i killed my dad. what am i going to do? that’s when i noticed alex’s eyes go blood red, licking his lips, and fangs come out. i stepped in between my brother and my dad’s now lifeless body, putting my hand back to the knife. i stared into my brothers eyes. they were hungry, craving blood. my dad’s blood. i could see his eyes scanning me deciding where to attack and then back to my dad. “what’s wrong my dear sister. don’t want me to drink old dad’s blood anymore. he’s already dead therefore, you would have no reason to kill me. isn’t that what you want?” he tilted his head as he spoke. “you touch him and i will have no more family. i am not joking about this alex i will kill you.” i was staring at him thinking of what to do, where to hit, when was the best time? he just smirked. “poor poor alisha. killed her dad and now threatening her brother. you would make mom proud oh wait she’s dead to. to bad alisha. you know chaos will get you. he will find you and kill you. that should be a complement. the head wasting his time on a low life like you. only because you are one of the best. everytime you kill one of us that’s one more reason to kill you.” i was taken back. he never spoke like that. it’s like he is different person. “who said i was hiding tell him i said bring it on. it will be a pleasure to be the who killed the head.” i replied and with that he came to attack me. throwing his left fist aiming at my jaw but i moved my head back just in the nick of time. i took out my knife and slashed it trying to cut off his head but he used his vampire reflexes to catch my arm and twist it around. i gritted my teeth trying not show pain but failing and when he was laughing i kicked at his kneecap which went back a little before fixing itself. i kneed him in the stomach and as he toppled over he tackled me to the ground hard enough to make me drop my knife. he started punching at my sides. each jab a little harder than the one before. i kept feeling the pain getting worse but nothing i couldn’t handle. i have been in fights like these all the time. i reached my hand down to where my knife was laying on the ground. i couldn’t quite reach it. i used my other hand to punch alex on the nose with enough force to break it. his head went back and i took that chance to move and grab the knife. i stabbed him in the stomach. he got up and took a few steps back looking down at the knife. his hands going to the handle and ripping it out of him. he threw it on the ground. he moved his hands to his wound and held it there. why don’t i attack him right now? i can’t. i just couldn’t help but looking at him, watching what he did. when he removed his hands the wound was gone. now how is this fair. i stab him and now the wound is gone. the only ways to kill a vampire is burn them, cut their head off, or stab them in the heart. no matter what you have to always burn the body to make sure they won’t come back. “fine i can take a hint i will go, but remember you are wanted by the head which means everyone is after you.” he told me as his eyes were going back to blue. black goo (their blood) was still on his dark blue shirt. “and they will get you.” as he spoke there was pain in his voice. maybe i injured him worse than can be healed or will take a while. hey a girl can hope right. most 17 almost 18 year olds want to finish high school or get a car. me i just want this world to be safe from all vampire and to be the one to kill the head. just like he came into this room in a blink of an eye he was gone to god knows where. at the exact moment i lost it. i burst out into tears. whatever i had that kept me from crying was gone just like my dad who i was never going to get back. tears kept coming i don’t even know where they all came from. i was crying so much i might have tracks from the tears. i don’t know how but i went to unconsciousness. i was walking on the beach with my dad. i stopped  and looked at him. “dad are you alive? how? when?” i would of kept asking him questions but he held up a hand telling me to stop. he looked me in the eye with pain. “you killed me. why? then you tried to kill you brother. was i that bad of a father?” he asked. my heart snapped. at that moment i dropped to my knees and more water works came. god i hate crying. crying shows weakness and i can not have any in my job. everything around me went black. i couldn’t see anything. when i picked up my head i saw my mom. i got up and started running to her so i could give her a hug and talk to her. when i went to hug her i passed through her. i turned around to see my 5 year old self pushing mom away. “sweetie i am doing this so i can protect you. you don’t know what kind of creatures are out there.” her voice was so sweet so smooth. just like i remember her. “what do you mean by creatures?” i heard my younger self say. mom just paused as if to decide whether or not to tell. “you will know when you’re older sweetie now please come with me.” she held out her hand. my younger self turned around. “you are always keeping secrets from me. you don’t tell me anything and you expect me to come with you? no. mom i hate you go away and never come back. ever.” as i spoke that i ran to my mom to fall and see that picture vanish in thin air. i looked behind me to see another one. my younger self was at the police station crying into my dad’s shoulder. watching the tv. the news said a mother was killed right in front of her child and there is no evidence of who did it. i remember it was a vampire. i was crying over her body the last thing i said to her was i hate you. at that moment i woke up from my dreams. i was sweating. i stood up to realize i passed out on the ground. i looked around and remembered what happened the day before. i went to the drawer to find a letter. i opened it to read “so your dad died. about time. well what about your mother. that was priceless. the last thing you said i hate you. must have broken your mothers heart to hear that and then die thinking it. well got to go. see you later. from a vampire.” were they doing this to me on purpose? do they think this is all it is going to take to brake me? they have another thing coming. i got up and packed some food, water, 2 anti-vampire pistols, and chains. hey you never know when you are going to need them. they are especially good at keeping vampires in place since it has a spell. i threw the stuff in the front seat. i took the matches out of my pocket lit all of them at once and threw them at the house knowing that was the last time i would ever see this place ever again. i got into the car and drove with all the money my dad had(which was a lot i don’t know why but it was) my 2 emergency  kits one thats in the car and the one i keep in a hidden place and the things i packed.
