The Beginning Of Corruption (Book 1)

Chapter 2

Amanda's pov

It was a question that I regretted for the rest I my life. My father, Vincent, took me from my mom to live with him. She did not let him take me without a fight. In the end my dad won, and lost whatever trust I had. When he killed my mom in front of me. He took me to live with him and his wife.

Helen's pov

"Amanda are you going to come into the family room?" She moved closer to the window, her focus was on the front yard. I wobbled over to see what had her attention. Her dad. He is outside sparring with his older brother and his nephew's. "You know he is a good man? He is just upset he missed so much of your childhood." She struggled and continued watching. I sighed then walked out. I listen to the little pitter patter of her behind me.

"Helen where are you?" It has been 2 minutes and I'm still wobbling down the stairs. Amanda is walking behind me patiently, her hand in mine. "Helen!"

"I'm okay." Vincent ran over to the stairs, then proceeded to run up them.

"Why are you on the stairs?! I told you I don't want you on the stairs alone!"

"I'm not alone," I pulled Amanda into his version slightly.

"Hi Amanda," he said. His face went soft at the site of her.

"Dinner will be ready in a few."

Vincent looked at me, "okay."

Amanda's pov

I'm in the family room watching the four boys fight. And my father and the other man are speaking. One I the boys broke away from the brawl and walked towards me. "Hey I'm Chase. I'm the oldest of the litter. What's your name?" He has jet black hair with piercing blue eyes.

"Amanda. What do you mean by litter?" He tilted his head to the side and looked confused. He went to speak but the other man talking to my father told him to sit down.

Once we're finished with dinner the two men went back into the family room to speak. "Hey are you okay?" I glanced up to see Helen wobbling over to me. I just stared at her. "Well I know that you talk because you talked to Chase. Now are you okay?"

I smiled, "yes I'm okay."

"Do you want to ask me something?" It is like she could just read people's minds.

"Earlier Chase said he was the oldest of the litter. What does he mean by that?"

She cleared her throat and begin, "what do you think it means?"

"That they are bunch of dogs." Helen left hand holding her stomach and right hand covering her mouth not to laugh so hard. Once she recovered she spoke again.

"Amanda that is your uncle Hans. The four crazy boys in the family room are your cousins. Chase, Michael, Nicholas, and Peter. And they are not exactly dogs, more like wolves." I laughed I'm in a house full of crazy people.

I walk back to my room and lay down. I don't know what to do. If I run I have nowhere to go if I stay I'll surely go insane. "Amanda can we speak to you downstairs?" I shrugged then rolled out of bed. I followed my father down the stairs. Everyone was sitting on the couches even the boys. There was a new person in the family room, a woman. "Amanda we're not humans neither are you. We are called Heavenly breaks and you are a nightwalker."

Hans shifted in he seat when my father said that. "What are those exactly?" Ask him curious and scared to know.

They all told me what everything was. A heavenly break is a type of werewolf that can control when they shift. And completely turn into wolves with different colored eyes representing their ranking. Red meaning alpha, green as for the betas, and pink is for an omega the lone wolf. A nightwalker is a type of vampire. But this race is slowly going extinct. I am one out of 15 still alive. Our eyes turn Pitch Black when hungry. Once we've had our first drop of blood at whatever age our body stops aging. Each species is going extinct because we're all being killed and hunted by Lucifer! Huge monsters who can hide in plain sight without being detected. They stand over 7 feet tall, and looks like wolves standing on their hind legs. There's no way to kill them. At least not yet!
