I opened my eyes to the sound of birds chirping. I looked up and saw Ethan. He was still asleep. I suddenly got curious. I put my hand on his chest and left it there. There was no heartbeat. Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that he's dead but alive. I don't know, it all confuses me. I slowly lifted my hand up and jumped when he grabbed it.
"Aye!" I yelled and he smiled with his eyes still closed.
"Sorry, I wanted to scare you." He said still smiling.
"I've already told you that, YOU don't scare me." I said emphasizing the word you.
"Oh, whatever helps you sleep." He said getting out of the bed. I rolled over and got my phone. I scrolled through my Instagram and then Snapchat.
"Hey!" Someone yelled and I looked up to see Grayson I assume.
"Oh, hi!" I said smiling and sitting up in the bed.
"I haven't gotten to formally introduce myself, I'm Grayson Dolan." He said walking over to shake my hand.
"I'm Ember Collins." I said shaking his hand in return.
"Man you look like someone. Like, a lot like someone." He laughed and I joined.
"Can I ask a question?" I asked still chuckling.
"Shoot." He said.
"How old are y'all?" I asked, now more serious.
"We are 107 years old." He said completely serious. My mouth dropped.
"How?" I said in shock.
"Magic." He replied.
"I have another one." I stated.
"Okay." He nodded.
"How did you become vampires in the first place?" I asked and he took a deep breath before sitting on the bed facing me.
"So, It was the year 1927. Ethan and I had been at a Flappers show. We had two very "special" girls," he used air quotes on the word special, "come up and talk to us while we were at our seats. Their names were, Sabrina and Lilliana. They were very beautiful. I was mostly talking with Sabrina, where Ethan was all over Lilliana. We were young, only 17 at the time. They were much older but we didn't know any better. Later that night we said our goodbyes and started walking home. We went on to develop serious feelings for these girls. There was a bombing that same year and Ethan and I were badly hurt. The girls healed us but we were still killed. We didn't even know they were different until they healed us but we had absolutely no idea what was in store for us. The next day Ethan and I just had the urge to kill somebody, and, we did. The desperation to feed took over our bodies. We lost it. I've gained very powerful control, where as Ethan, he can't control hardly anything. We hid it from our parents and when they died, Ethan went off the deep end. He lost his hope. He went on a killing spree. He left trails of murders. Ember, I think he really likes you, or else, he wouldn't be so worried about you being around him. He doesn't want to hurt you." He finally finished.
"Wow, I'm completely amazed. You know, normal girls would run away screaming but I'm so intrigued. Something about this whole thing just amazes me but yet makes me so terrified. Honestly, I love it." I said smiling and he smiled back.
"Well I just know that you are a normal girl and I want you to stay that way. That's why you can't leave here for another 12 hours." He smiled getting up and walking out.
"Oh yeah, Ethan is almost done with Breakfast so you can change and come down." He said poking his head back in the door way.This gets better and better for me. I love this!!!! Ahhhhh pure happiness!!!!!!!
