Entrapment

Broken Pieces

I woke up to a bright light hanging over head. My arm and head were throbbing. Looking around I saw I was laying in a bed. I sat up, wincing and began looking around the room. There was a bathroom to the left and to the right there was a door down the hall. The events of the last night came rushing back to me. I realize the shower was running when it cut off abruptly. Being pulled from my thoughts I looked over at the bathroom. The door was cracked. Lance emerged from behind the shower curtains with a towel wrapped around his waist. His hair was longer than I thought originally. It was to the nape of his neck and seemed to curl on the ends. Abruptly I heard someone clear their throat. My eyes jerked from his chest to make eye contact with Lance. Amusement sparked within his eyes.

"Like what you see?" He asked as he waved his hand over his body. I blush profusely. I turn away and groan at the swift movement. My head reals and I stand up almost falling over. Lance catches me, his body radiated with warmth. I shiver, and look up. His eyes have small traces of humor but then he began to look concerned.

"Are you alright?" He asked

"Yeah.. just thirsty." I replied as I looked into his eyes. Something familiar within his dark brown eyes. He blinked and then helped me steady. He let go and walked back to the bathroom.

"Lance..?" I call out

"Yes?" He says as I hear him getting dressed.

"What aren't you guys telling me...?" I asked, my voice so low I didn't think he'd heard me. He sighed.

"It's not my place to tell you" he stated simply.

"I can't just not know.. my life is in danger.. I mean who the hell were those guys at the house?? And where is mom and Jay?" The questions kept pouring out, half I'm sure he didn't know the answer himself. I stopped myself and a small silence hung in the air. The silence was interrupted by a phone ringing. I looked at the night stand and his phone was ringing.

"Go ahead and answer that, it's for you." He said simply and closed the bathroom door. Walking over to the phone it had no caller I.D.

"Hello?" I asked answering the phone

"Hey Ari, it's mom."

"Mom what the hell is going on?"

She sighed "Ara listen, there's no easy way to say this but, you're a pure blood vampire..."

"I'm a what.." I burst out laughing and sat down on the edge of the bed. "Good one mom, But seriously what in the hell is going on??"

"Arabella, I'm not joking. And You know how I feel when you cuss." She said sternly.I rolled my eyes but she continued " Jayden and you are both vampires. And you would've both changed at the same time but with the accident that happened when you were younger she was the only one who's changed. We don't know Exactly why but we think it has something to do with the wounds and how bad your body was after the attack."

"Are you talking about when I was younger and got attacked by that dog?" I asked skeptical

"It wasn't technically a dog... more like a werewolf but yes." She said and I heard loud crashes in the back ground.

"Mom?! What was that??" I asked grabbing the edge of the bed

"Eli found us! Tell Lance that he needs to keep you away until its safe! "

"Wait where's Jay??" I demanded

"She's safe. Same as you. I need to go but I love you so much my pumpkin." She said then the line went dead

" Mom??" I called out knowing it was useless. My eyes started to water and hot tears rushed down my face. "Mom.." I mumbled.

" Are you alright?" Lance asked. It scared me, gasping I spun around. He held up his hands in surrender. Blinking several times and wiping away my tears
