My Vampire Twin

Chapter 21 - Who is She?

Shawn's POV

We were all panicking, especially Emily. As soon as I told her what I saw in Alexa's room she couldn't speak but she didn't have to say anything.

"I knew that this was going to happen eventually... I just didn't know that it'll be today." She cried earlier.

I tried asking her about it but she just cried and cried. But then she stopped, wiped her tears and looked at me.

"You want to know what's happening?" She asked which I nodded in response.

"Go ask Philip." She said in disgust and left.

I marched straight to Philip's office and slammed the door open.

"What the hell is going on Philip?!" I screamed which didn't seem to surprise him.

He just gave me a quick "shut up." look.

"Watch your tone young man. Remember who you're talking to." He said and stood up.

I cleared my throat. "I think you're aware that Alexa's gone, right?" I stated which made him stare at me and grinned.

"Well who let them get away?" He said and leaned against his table and tucked his arms inside the pocket on his pants.

I growled and cleared my throat.

"I know, but you plan on just sitting there all day? Do you even care about her?" I asked which made him smirked and turned to face his desk.

"Even if I did, what do you expect I do?" He asked.

"And I can see that I'm not the only one who cares about her, am I?" He teased while he fiddled with the pen he has in his hands and turned his head to me.

He chuckled when he noticed how red I now am which I only noticed when I saw my reflection on one of his glass cabinets.

I remembered something that Emily said when I tried to ask her about Alexa. I sighed.

"Okay, we'll think about that later." I said which I got a nod for a response.

"But I need to ask you one final thing." I said seriously which made his smirk disappear and made him clear his throat.

He began to slowly walk towards his chair.

"I know the kind on question that you will say and I know what the answer will be, but be sure if the truth that you seek is more than you can handle." He said and finally sat down.

"You have a lot in your mind and chest, boy. Why don't you take a sit and ask away." He said and leaned back.

I walked towards his desk, pulled a chair and sat down. As soon as I did he raised his eyebrows motioning me to ask away.

"Emily has been crying since I told her about Alexa." I said which made him chuckle.

He shook his head a couple of times before looking at me. "She always cries." I didn't laugh for I know that this is not a laughing matter.

"She kept saying that she knows that this day will come, I tried to ask her about it but she got pissed and said that I should ask you." I said which made his smile disappear. He didn't respond, he just waited for me to finish my question.

"What exactly is happening Philip, who is Alexa?"

His serious expression turned into a death glare. It frightened me for that everyone knows how terrifying Philip could get when you actually piss him off.

I swallowed my fear and thought of what he's been hiding. I cannot get the answer if I back down now.

He didn't respond, he waited for me to back down but I won't. He waited for a couple of seconds for me to decide whether I want the truth or not.

"If you want to know that badly, then I'll tell you." He said and then with a flick of his hand I heard the door locked and the other doors slammed shut, the curtains were drawn and his desk lamps lit.

"Do you know where she came from?" He said and then stood up. I shook my head and it made him form a sinister smile.

"You were together all these years and you didn't even bother asking her?" He said which made me form a fist.

He's right though, how could I now know about her that well. She's my best friend. The truest friend that I ever had, yet I ignored the small details that I knew was big for her.

"Do you know how hybrids are made?" He asked again which ticked me off since that that wasn't why I came here.

I didn't want to know how they mated and formed a baby, heck I'm not a child thinking about how are babies made? I didn't speak, I just let him rant off what he wanted to say and waited for him to answer my question.

"You see, when vampires impregnate a human that isn't their mate, a Halfling is born. Half human and half vampire. If the mother of such creature is human, they will die of giving birth, since the father is a vampire, they will not acknowledge such child that they created which means that those newborn will have to fend for themselves without ever having anyone by blood to protect them. They will acknowledge their powers by the age of five and gradually become more powerful. They don't need blood to survive though." He said and leaned on the front of his desk again.

I growled.

"What is this have to do with Alexa?" I hissed which made him hush me.

"Now I'll ask you." He said and leaned towards me.

"Do you think that Alexa's a hybrid?"

It made me stop.

Hybrids can come from different places, and that's why Philip built this place, for those hybrids that doesn't have a family. But if a hybrid doesn't have a blood related family, then why would anyone take them? Then that means...

"She's not." I muttered which made Philip clap.

"I can see that you're already catching up to our lesson"

He chuckled and leaned against his desk again.

I growled and stood up.

"Then what is she?" I asked angrily.

"She's the Vampire Princess." He said and smiled.
