The End Of The Beginning

Past And Present

"I'm sorry you had to see that." Kyler apologizes. "But it was cool, right?!" He laughs and smiles. "No!" I said. "Aw well. Not everyone does think it's as pleasing as I do." "You're a monster!" I scream. "I'm a monster? I'm not the one keeping the truth away from you! You deserve to know what you are." "What do you mean?" I ask, heart pounding. "C'mon, Vanessa. I've been sworn to secrecy, I can't say. But just think! What feels different to you, huh? Can't you feel it?" "Sworn to secrecy?" "Just think!" Kyler snaps. I try to think. "Oh there's no possible way I can think about me after what I just saw you do!" Kyler heaves a sigh. "Fine. I'll explain myself-" "You turned them into demons. You're a true...demon!" "Well thanks. I try." He smiles. "Now will you shut up so I can talk?!"

A long time ago, demons and vampires were in a huge war with one another. But it wasn't going any further than death of a demon, death of a vampire, and back again. So, the demons called a temporary truce while we created more of us to overpower the vampires. But, being the idiots they are, the vampires thought we forfeit. They thought they won when in fact, the war is not over. No, we're still preparing." "It took you over one hundred years to prepare and you still are?" I ask. Kyler looks irritated with me. "Did you even hear what you said?" "Yeah." "Think it over..." He pushes. "You have a huge army." I say breathlessly. "There ya got it!" He cheered. Now it was my turn to look irritated. "Wow, you're kind really is slow." He mutters. "What? My what?" "Oops! Did I say too much? Anywho, as I was saying-" "Wait, what'd you mean?!" "Good god, pick a topic!" Kyler yells. "As I was saying, I turned them into demons for the war." "You're actually continuing the war?" "Did you not listen to a word I said?!" "Sorry! It's just you seemed so nice, you know, helping me at the hospital-" "Oh, I know. It's no fun to help your type. You know, I really shouldn't-" "What do you mean my type?!" "Will you let me finish my explanation!" "Will you stop mentioning 'my type'?!" I yell. Kyler's eyes were literally flames. "I'm sorry, carry on." I say in a small voice. "Actually, that was it." Kyler laughs.

I stare coldly at him. "Ok. Now I know why you did that. Oh by the way, not cool with it. You're declaring war on my boyfriend and his brothers!" Kyler shrugs. "So? What can you do about it?" I look him over. "You're just a pitiful little girl. You can't save you're friends." He laughs. "I'll just kill them all! Maybe I should start with the one you love most. That would be Dalton, yes?" My heart starts pounding. "Ooh, or maybe Zaiden! You like him least, right?" "That's not true!" "Then Ruben. Oh yes, I can see it." Kyler laughs. "But Ruben can't." I snapped at this point. Just the very thought of this jackass near Dalton and his brothers made me want to rip his head off.

I lunge at him, but he saw it coming. He wanted to piss me off. But why? "Look at you, Vanessa! Now you're coming into your new self!" He smiles, his eyes burning into mine. "What are you talking about?!" I growl. "I seriously can't give you anymore hints." He sighs. "Vanessa, can't you tell? You're a vampire!"
