Realization

Chapter 15- Eye Opener

I grabbed Jane's arm, dragged her ass to an empty classroom; blocked the escape path and stared her down, no way was she getting away without telling me what I wanted to know! 

Which was for her to admit to what I finally know...a closure that I wasn't crazy and Hazan wasn't lying

"You keep surprising me Jane; why didn't you tell me?" I asked

"You were much safer not knowing" she replied

"What do you mean much safer? stop acting all responsible and talk to me like we always do" I snapped

"Honey I'm much older than you can believe so trust me when I say you should have never found out that am a night-walker" she said with a sly twist of her lips

"Were you really me friend? Or was I a cover?" I asked

"In the beginning as a cover but of course I consider you as a friend"

"You said you're much older than I think....so you aren't actually 17?"

She huffed and dropped her gaze away from me and walked to the edge of the window and looked at me with a lopsided smile

"No I'm 95 years of age" she admitted

My mouth was left a-gape.....

"How...the hell.....but the memories"

"Yeah I might have compelled you and everyone here that I grew up with you all"

"Compelled? Like brainwashed?" I asked confused

"Bingo smarty Mog" she replied

"What else have you kept from me?"

"That's it Morgan" she said; her lip pressed tightly shut

"How can I even trust that what you're saying is true?"

"Please I haven't compelled you since I got to know you"

"This is really weird" I said smiling trying to lighten the mood

If she is revealing that she's a vampire well knowing I know a night-walker hunter, she could be trusted; and I wasn't crazy as I thought

"You took the words right out my mouth" she said smiling 

"Who else is a vampire here?"

"Me and Kyle and his family" she said walking me out the door and down the marble floor path to our literature class because we were almost late

"Who's blood have you been drinking to stay....you know....sane" I asked curious

She shyly glances at Zen at his sit and my face flushed as I noticed she meant Zen was her blood bag...

"Did you compel him..."

"No he accepted to be my déta"

"You're what now?!" I whisper-yelled

"It's an ancient language of my kind, it means he's a donor, and he offered his services, why do you think we haven't been hanging out with you lately?"

ouch! Guess i deserved that

I nodded in understanding, explains why they were never around the time I wanted them to help me or that time when I broke up with Kyle

"I don't know whether to be happy that Hazan has no reason to hunt you or insulted that you guys still couldn't stop your session to come aid your friend"

"If I had come those days trust me, you wouldn't have been alive by then. I was struggling with my hunger and Zen was helping me" she confessed

"For a 95 year vampire you suck" I said nudging her playfully 

She smiled but it got wiped off as Hazan joined my side and I huffed not ready to be the intermediate between them at least from letting them kill each other.

Welcome to your new life Morgan Freeman I thought
