Heaven or Hell?

Chapter Fourteen:

I wonder what my son would of been? Would he be a half breed like me or a full vampire like his father? I am so confused, why can't things just go back to normal? Why can't Leo just disappear? Why can't me and Becky go back to our usual talkative ways? Why can't I be normal?

"Because your not normal" A voice says from behind me.

"You know normally when someone is alone at a graveyard it's because they want to be alone" I bluntly answer, although what didn't cross my mind until after I said that was that I didn't voice my previous thoughts about being normal.

"Ms Coles?" I question as I turn around and find her looking down at me.

"The one and only" she answers whilst sitting down next to me. "Something bothering you dear?" She questions after a few minutes of silence.

"Where do I start?" I laugh, whilst planting some bluebells on my son's grave.

"The beginning is always the best" She answers with a hint of humour in her voice. "Don't worry you can tell me, I'm a vampire too" she adds as if sensing my hesitation.

"How do you all do it?" I ask in admiration.

"Do what?" She asks.

"Control your emotions? Make the right decisions? Everything!" I cry as all the things that have been dropped on me these past couple of days finally catch up with me.

"A hell lot of training and coffee, but also with the help of our soul mates" she elaborates.

"By any chance is it possible to have two soul mates?" I ask, feeling highly confused with my feelings for Leo and Jack.

"Indeed but it is very rare, I had two soul mates. My best friend and my worst enemy" she chuckles, but all that does is make me look at her as if she is the answer to all of my problems.

"And who did you choose?" I desperately ask.

"I chose my husband, my best friend" she answers. "However, who I choose doesn't mean that you have to do the same thing!" She quickly adds.

"I know, but not to be rude but why are you here?" I ask as I remember that we are in a graveyard.

"I come here often to be close to my family, you see Zoey Haynes I'm not a born vampire. I was turned by my husband so I have no living family members" she answers with complete sadness in her voice.

"What about your children?" I ask, recalling she sometimes talks about a little girl and a boy.

"They're vampires, in fact they're over there visiting their grandmother" she answers whilst pointing towards a headstone in the distance.

"I know about your baby by the way and so do your parents" She adds making me drop the flowers that I was holding.

"What? How?!" I demand in shock.

"When you were pregnant the whole vampire coven that you belong to could sense it, but don't worry no one is mad at you" she answers with a motherly smile.

"You know Zoey I may be your teacher inside of school, but if you ever want to chat outside of school feel free to pick up the phone" she says before calling her children over.

"Thank you" I answer, mirroring the smile that she gives me.

"Now, I suggest you go home and relax. Because tomorrow we start practising the musical" she says whilst happily clapping, making me giggle at her silly behaviour as she walks off with her children.

"You know Liam, if you did survive that could of been me and you" I say to his headstone, referring to Ms Coles and her children. "But just so you know, no matter what happens in the future you will always remain my little boy and I will treasure you forever, until next time baby" I say whilst kissing the top of his headstone as tears roll down my cheeks.

Half way home my mobile begins blaring out deafening music to Usher. Curse Jack for playing with my phone. "Hello?" I answer not bothering to check the caller ID.

"Zoey Haynes?" An unfamiliar voice asks.

"Who's speaking?" I ask in curiously whilst stopping in my tracks.

"It's Aaron, do you know where Telford fields are?" He questions.

"Yeah, the other side of town why?" I ask because by the sound of his voice it sounds like there is trouble.

"It's Jack" He bluntly answers.

"What? What's happened to him? Is he hurt?" I ask beginning to feel scared.

"Not exactly but he may be if you don't get here!" He states.

"Why? Aaron what the hell is happening?" I demand in a commanding tone.

"Leo has demanded a battle with Jack! The winner gets you!" He says sounding agitated.

"I'm on my way!" I say before slamming down my phone.

Telford fields? How the hell am I meant to get there in such a hurry if I'm a good hour walk away? I've got no choice I will just have to run as fast I can. Sprint even. And sprint I do. I sprint through empty fields at such a speed that i have never been able to manage, must be these new vampire skills beginning to kick in. Whilst sprinting the strong wind blows in my face. Although, whilst sprinting the atmosphere takes a turn for the worse as a thunderous storm is visible in the distance. Near enough where Telford Fields is meant to be! Please god don't say that they have already started! How am I suppose to stop two fully transformed vampires anyway? Why couldn't Aaron?!

"ZOEY STOP!" A voice screams making me stop dead in my tracks and look closely at the scenery around me. But it all remains empty. So I carry on running. I run through the deep dark forest that holds many dangers such as wolves and wild bears, yet not even those things make me anymore frightened than I already feel. However, as I am half way through the forest I hear the screaming of my name again. But once again, I am alone. That's when it clicks. The screaming is coming from inside of my head.

"Hello?" I shout out loud feeling completely paranoid about what is happening to me.

"TURN BACK! YOUR IN GREAT DANGER IF YOU COME!" The voice shouts back inside my head.

"No! I got to get to Jack! Aaron said he could be in danger!" I shout back.

"ZOEY IT IS JACK! I HAVE THE ABILITY TO MENTALLY COMMUNICATE WITH YOU, NOW TURN BACK!!" He shouts back, but before I can answer him. A loud ferocious roar is heard throughout the forest. A roar that doesn't belong to any animal that I have ever heard before. Therefore, just like prey would do when attempting to get away from a predator, I run. I run as fast as I possibly can and that's pretty fast with this new speed that I have somehow been gifted with, but even with this speed I can't seem to escape whatever is chasing me.

Challenging myself to turn around to catch a glimpse of what could possibly be chasing me, I catch sight of three strong muscular men. All with a evil glint in their eyes. Vampires. They must be. No human could keep up with me. But it was that one challenge that nearly costs me my life because as I turn my head to look at them, I trip over a massive rock and tumble down a steep hill. Catching my head on the edge of the sharp razor stone on the way down, making blood pour down my face like a river. Great, just what I need when there are three vampires chasing me. Blood!

Swiftly, climbing back on to my feet I carry on running whilst ripping away parts of my shirt to keep my wound covered until I can get it properly checked.

"Zoey, keep running! I'm almost there!" I hear Jack say in my head. Thank god! Wait how does he know the danger I'm in? And wasn't he meant to be in danger? So where's Leo? Unless he's one of the vampires chasing me. No. He hurt me but surely he wouldn't possibly try killing me. Would he?

"Jack I'm scared" I silently think, praying that he can hear me. But I gain no response. Instead another voice fills my head.

"Zoey, find Jack and don't leave his side. We're on our way just remain calm and don't give up" My mother says in a protective tone.

However, before I have time to register what she says I find myself being wrestled to the ground. Only to find a pair of green emerald eyes staring straight back at me with a evil glint in them.

"Miss me?" He snarls as I struggle underneath him, yet before I have chance to reply. Jack comes crashing through the trees along with Aaron and Blake who tackle the other two fast approaching men. Whilst Jack tackles the man who pins me to the ground, Leo.
