In Our Blood

Chapter 25

I left the school after Lilith gave me her number. I noticed that she left to the office after I had left. I walked home because I didn't want to explain to my butler why I was out early. I also wanted to get some thinking through my head. What that tan low class said about me liking Lilith kept going through my mind. I shook my head to ignore the thought. I knew where I was walking, I had watched where my butler turned when he drove me to school for the past few years. The drive itself was 15-20 minutes, so that meant it would take me at least an hour. I let out a sigh, preparing myself for the long journey. I took out my phone and plugged in the headphones, I started playing my heavy metal crap that Lilith hated so much last night, I caught myself laughing when replaying her expression of her first impression to the music in my mind. I covered my mouth hoping no one around me noticed.

An hourish passed and I was home, my mom and dad were still at work and my sister Liz was still at school. I walked down the long driveway and I saw a car parked outside the house, I looked at it confused, something about it felt familiar. I walked inside the house and I heard rummaging occurring in the kitchen, I quietly set the bag down, cracked my fingers and made my way to the kitchen. I picked up my sister's softball bat as I walked to the kitchen, when I was next to the corner I lifted it up like I was about to hit a ball. I quickly came around the corner, squeezed my eyes shut and swung the bat, I heard a yelp. I opened my eyes and saw a tall guy bent over going through the fridge, I looked up and down at him, he had dark black hair like me, and he was also very pale. He looked to be 18 or older. I dropped the bat.

"Benny?"
