Chapter 4

Once we arrive to my house, I tell him to stay by the door while I go in to see if my mom has woken up. I go into the house and notice the kitchen light is on and mom is getting some water.

" Hey mom." I say, hoping Xavier wouldn't walk in.

" Hey Lyla. Where'd you go?" She asks.

" Oh, I just went for a walk." I reply, taking off my jacket. She just nods, and I could tell that she was still really tired from her expression. " You should go get some rest mom." I say. She yawns before nodding and saying,

" Yeah, I agree." She says before walking up the steps. " Goodnight, Love you Lyla."

After waiting a few seconds after her bedroom door was closed I walked back to where Xavier was standing with his hands in his pockets. I watch him with careful eyes before stepping out to where he could see me. His eyes meet mine for a moment before I bring him inside to the living room. I sit on the couch while he sits in the recliner.

" Okay, so explain to me how I know you." I demand in a quiet voice. He sighs, with a slow nod.

" It's hard to explain." He starts. I nod, understandingly. " But you've met me before the phone call." He says. I glare at him.

" Technically that wasn't meeting you." Annoyance clear in my voice. He sighs but continues.

" We met the day your dad was shot." He says in a serious voice.

What? All kinds of different emotions flood through me. How does he know about my dad? My dad was murdered 7 years ago, when I was 11 years old. He was shot by some man and whenever I asked my mom about it or why it happened she would always silence me and tell me that there was just bad people in the world. She never wanted to talk about it. I understood because it was and still is sad. I don't remember seeing Xavier anywhere that day or night.

" I-i don't remember you.. How do you know about that?" I ask looking up into his electric blue orbs. I can tell that he feels bad for mentioning it but he continues on anyway.

" This is going to be a lot to take in and think about, so I'm going to explain the best I can." He says. I nod for him to continue. " Alright. Your dad was my leader." He starts.

" What do you mean?" I ask confused and curious.

" Well... your dad was a Seer."

" A what?" I ask, looking at him. Okay he is really starting to confuse me.

" Your mom is a human but your dad is a supernatural creature." He starts again. I just stay silent and wait til he is done. " I viewed your dad as my leader because he could help with just about anything. A Seer is a person who is able to see through supernatural insight to see what the future holds. They can also see the future through dreams or pictures." He says looking at me.

The dream I had of him comes to my mind. Does that have anything to do with it? Xavier stays silent for a few seconds

" The dream you had the other night, where we met." He says. I nod feeling a little frightened.

" I didn't think that meant anything." I reply, looking at him. He shrugs.

" I'm not really sure either." He says truthfully.

" How come I didn't know about all this?" I ask, feeling disappointed.

" They were just trying to protect you but now that you're 18 you will be on your own out in the world soon. " He replies.

I nod, because it's true. I can't get it out of my head that he knew my dad, seems like he knew him better than what I did. My dad was a very caring person, he loved my mom unconditionally. They didn't really get into many fights, at least not around me. How was he a Seer? I never really did believe in supernatural creatures. I ignore the thoughts of my dad because I know I'll end up crying and that is not my motive of today.

" If he was a Seer, does that mean I am?" I ask confused. He just watches me.

" Not necessarily, your mom is human so you could be just human... unless you're both." He answers looking at me. My mind races, this is crazy.

" Are you a human?" I ask feeling my heart pick up, because from the dream I had, if it has anything to do with using meeting. He is definitely not a human. He sighs before shaking his head.

" No.. I'm a vampire." He says.
