Aphrodite

Lydia

Hello everyone! here is chapter 2. Enjoy! 

--------------------------------------------------------

 As I parked my car in front of a big white house, I could see a woman standing in front of the door. When she saw my car, she immediately rushed over to my side and before I could even open up the door, I was in her arms. A familiar scent rushed over me. God, I forgot what she smelt like.

 “I am so happy to see you my dear” she said while breaking the hug. She took a few steps back and that gave a chance to look at my grandma Lydia. She had light brown hair and brown eyes. Everyone got brown eyes in my family. My mom, my grandma, my aunt, my uncle. All of them, except for me. I guess I got my sparkly blue eyes from him.

“Lets go inside. It’s been a long ride and you should get some rest.” She said giving me a smile that I returned back. I grabbed my bags from the backseat and followed her inside.

The house was big. It had two floors, and a basement + an attic. The first thing I noticed when I walked in was that nothing had changed. It was all the same as I remembered. Still a lovely family house. I used to love to come here as a child. We lived here for some years, and I would always come here. After spending so much time here, my grandma actually made a room for me. It was perfect and I loved my life then. Of course my coward of a father had to leave us and that left my mom heartbroken, which made her pack up all our stuff and move. “Your room is still the same, I haven’t changed a thing. You could sleep there” I heard grandma say. “Thank you grandma”

My grandma gave me a warm smile. “You can go settle in and then we can have dinner and catch up a little?” she suggested. I nodded before heading upstairs and opening up the door to my bedroom.

I smiled when I saw the bedroom. She told me the truth when she said she didn’t change anything. The bedroom was quite big with white walls. It was my mother’s room when she was a teenager. I put my bags on the queen-sized bed and started unpacking.

“Grandma? Can I ask you something?” I said. We were gathered around the dinner table eating some food. You probably wonder if I eat human food, and yes I do. Most vampires can, but it takes a lot of control and patience to get used too it, but to me it wasn’t a problem.  My grandma nodded. I looked down for a second, trying to figure out how I could say this. Just when I was about to speak up – she beat me to it. “I know you don’t like coming here, and yes I know it isn’t because of me, but honey. Your mom is right. It is dangerous for you to be there, especially when werewolf - rouges have been seen around LA. “ I swallowed my bite before looking up to her. “But they wouldn’t find me. My mom told me everything the night before I left. You did something to me when I was born that could hide my smell. Right?” My grandma was a witch. When I was born, she put a spell on me that would hide my smell. To the world, I was a human. “The spell I put on you might hide your smell. But it wouldn’t hide your mom’s smell. If they located your mom, they could easily figure out what you are.”

“Grandma, I’m tired of hiding. I don’t understand why it is so dangerous if they would smell my scent? I get it that werewolves and vampires hate each other’s, but why? Why would they kill me?” My grandma let out a sight. “Aphrodite, I understand that you are trying to look for answers. I don’t think I can tell you everything now. The time isn’t right. Just know that even tough you might be a vampire, your smell isn’t like others. You.. You are different then other vampires.”

I was starting to get angry. “I am going to my room. I´ll see you tomorrow. Good night” I said before standing up and running to my room. I quickly jumped in my bed and tried to contain myself. I was so sick and tired of not getting answers. If I wasn’t a vampire, what was I? And what could be so special about me? I am tired of getting the same answers every fu*king time. You are special. You are different. You got to stay patient. It is for your own best.

*They aren’t lying you know* a voice said in my mind. “Yeah, right” What the hell? Am I starting to get crazy? Of course I am. I am talking to my mind. A few hours went by as I laid in my bed thinking about my life. Before I knew it the darkness took over me and I got lost in my dreams.
