My Husband's Family Tree

Chapter one - vampires' do not exist

They do not exist kisa! I yelled, as we turn the first corner of south Grange Boulevard. A route which would lead us to our favorite breakfast diner "chick truck"

"They do too laaaToooyyyaaa"! She yelled back dragging out each letter of my name then continued.

"Am telling you, In the near future, when they come out of hiding and started living among us you will be like?

"Holey shit!!! She was right!

"Holy shit my ass"! I would be out there trying to find my very own Dracula to fall in love with, I laugh out so hard that I had to reduce speed to catch my breath, in response to my slow run Risa came to a halt. With both hands at her side and said

" I told you that ,

she paused then bit her bottom lip. Whenever Risa has something important to say she usually dug her top tooth into her bottom lip which would usually leave a mark, whenever she releases her lip. it's one of her bad habits that I hate but couldn't bare to tell her to stop. I don't ever want to change how amazing she is . I know her well, I see that she has something on her mind but she was not going to tell me

... unless

unlessI pushed. today is the day that whatever it is that she has on her mind she was going to tell me ,whether its while we run or by the time we began eating at our favored spot ,she is going to tell me everything.

"I am a witch! She said reminding me of what she was,

"And you believe that, but when I said that vampires are around you don't believe me?

"Latoya I do not understand your logic .. and ?

She stopped and bit her lips once again

and? I pushed.

I pushed her to continue but she didn't instead she started running once again towards the diner.

***********

As we turned into the diner's parking lot and came to a halt breathing heavily with our hands on our knees we waited to catch our breath before walking towards the entrance of the restaurant. Every time Risa and I make our morning halt into this parking lot it gives me a great feeling of accomplishment, the statement that say's We've finished our morning training ,now it's time to treat ourselves with greasy foods that's a marketing advertisement for heart problems, with a little touch of severe heart burns, that thought made me smile. To think mission's gates high schools two best track stars pigs out on greasy bacon, eggs, pan cakes and hash browns, each morning after their training.

"You think am crazy don't you" Risa whispered, her eyes were sad like I had said something hurtful and insulting. A look that she only uses when something is wrong and the thought of her telling me what she was feeling would break both of our hearts and might even put a big strain on our friendship. Risa I thought to myself I know you, something , SOMETHING is wrong I just know it please please tell me I made a metal sigh then began.

Risa is something bothering you I asked, because if there is, you know that you can always tell me no matter what happens we will always be friends you know that right. I love Risa with all my heart whenever I was going through anything I could depend on her she was the one person that made my heart sing with her funny jokes and ridicules' stories about witches, trolls, fairies, vampires and wolf that can talk. She always talks about her book of spells thou I have never gotten a good glimpse of what's within the pages she has always read things out of it to me as if she was telling me stories. I loved those memories with her.

"You know me too well

she gave me a half hearted smile grabbed my hand and lead me into the diner. We sat in our usual seats by the window that way we could see the road and the cars passing by. Risa I called out her name in a low whisper just for her to hear, but before I could ask her what's wrong once again, our waitress Monica came around
