The New Borns

Vampire of the Opera

Episode Five

Hazel wakes up in someone's bed. Its sheets are silk and Egyptian cotton. She sits up and looks around to see a dark and creepy decor. She was at the Corridor Mansion still.

“Good morning.” Roak says as he walks in the room with a tray of eggs and bacon.

He places it in front of her and sits next to her. She was scared of him. Her boyfriend and his family were vampires. The first vampires ever. New Borns.

“I understand that you're scared, and I can't blame you. I want you to know that I won't hurt you.” He explained.

“Really?! I saw your sister eating my friend! ” Hazel bursts.

“She wasn't eating her. She was drinking her.” Roak corrects.

“Why did you come here, to Virginia. Are you really a foreign exchange student, or is that a lie too? ”

“No.”

“Why are you and your siblings here? ”

“We all have goals. Valeska is after my ex girlfriend. I'm here for you. I haven't a clue why Godrick came here.”

“Why is she after your ex? ”

“Because my ex and her aren't exactly on the best of terms. I don't want you to fear me.”

“Too late. But I can come to terms, as long as you don't kill anyone.”

“Deal.”

Luna and Isaac sit at the lunch table in silence, searching for Hazel and Heather, but neither are anywhere to be found.

“Where are they? ” Luna asked.

“Maybe they had a really bad hangover or something. After all there was a lot of alcohol.” Isaac suggest.

Then the weirdest thing happened. Their greatest enemy sat at their lunch table. She smiled at both with a smile that pointed to darkness.

“Maybe they decided to get better friends. By the way, good luck with the musical tonight.” Valeska tells them.

“What? Its Hazel's role.” Isaac reminds them.

“Poor thing came down with something. She is hallucinating, claiming that vampires are real, its sad actually.” Valeska answers.

Luna felt amazing. She had the role now. She had so much going through her mind. She was bursting with excitement.

“What a shame. I should go rehearse my parts.” Luna smiled.

“See you tonight.” Valeska said as she stood up and walked away. She had formulated a dark plan to ruin this musical.

“Are you sure up want to see me like this love? ” Roak asked while looking deep into Hazel's cobalt blue eyes.

“No more secret. I want to see you.” She answered.

He took a knife and slowly cut Hazel's palm. Dark red blood began to seep out, coloring her hand.

His head began to shake a little. Then his eyes changed colors. They were now blood red. His skin turned a slight gray and when his mouth opened two fangs were present.

“Clean it up.... Now! ” He yelled.

Hazel quickly wiped it up and covered it. His face returned to its original form, easing her a little, not much though.
