The Young Mate

chapter 4

Unedited.

I carried my books down the hall walking with my best friend at my side. Shortly I found the arm of my other friend resting in my shoulder, "hey Jace." I smiled softly looking over to see his arm also on Gene's shoulder standing between us.

I ran my hand through my straightened blonde hair, I ignored the jealousy that burned in my heart seeing the two mates together. At 13 it wasn't common for people to find their mates but it happened.

I couldnt help the yelp that escaped from behind my teeth as I was unexpectedly pulled out of the grasp of my best friend. Alex stared at me intently "hey Tyler, I wanted to hear your thoughts on that date I asked you about." I pinched the bridge of my nose.

"For the forth bloody time, no Alex!" It happened a lot, a classmate would recognize that my father is the leader of the third most powerful clan in the world, they would then pester me daily about a date until they suddenly stopped.

"You never tell me why sweet Tyler." I slowly blink at him.

"I want to meet my beloved Alex.. I'm sorry but you're not him, I actually plan to stay true to it." I said before walking off to join my friends again.

"I don't understand." Gina sighed. "You're family is literally the rarest set if vampires out there yet you all hide your abilities." She was right. I mentioned before the normally steps for a vampire but there are different breeds.

There were 6 different families of vampires all having unique strengths and talents, my family is the rarest having either died or powers weakened through the years. The 6 breeds include;

The Malakis: all born with dark hair and dark eyes are the fastest in the world. They are believed to be able to control wind due to their unimaginable speed.

The Mutatios: born with no specific traits the Mutatios create illusions, being able to hide within their environment.

The Havens: all born with light hair and dark eyes, the havens have the gift of sight. They can see auras, they're the more peaceful side of all the clans. They're actually requested on every elder board so they can keep everything peaceful.

The Yuluks: the Yuluks are able to read minds, they can also force feelings upon others, feelings of aggression or happiness. They are typically ones of manipulation.

The Fairies: the fairies can hover, this can come in handy during combat when getting away from an enemy or simply defending due to the combined strength of the typical vampire.

The Mafitas: founded in the 1800s, which explains the particular name have a keen ability with weapons, they have enhanced accuracy and swordsmanship. They have a natural talent with weapons, in dire situations they can also mimic their opponents movements.

I am a Mafita, my grandfather's name was Jaxon Kenedy Mafita, he changed his name after we became so rare, we are still in hiding.

"Yeah, but no one can know. Its dangerous..." Gene rolls her eyes and chuckles.

"Whatever, Tyler Mafita" she whispered as she skipped away. Jace walked next to me.

"I love her but man can she be dramatic." He snapped his head to me his eyes narrowing at me suspiciously, "don't tell her I said that, she will murder me." I nodded in agreement

My body clashed into Jace, an arm wrapped around my neck before I could crash into the floor, the person stabilizing me. "Heyyyy Ty." I rolled my eyes as my brother's hip smashed against mine.

"What do you want?"

He smiled sheepishly, "do you have money? I want a chocolate bar." My eyes lit up as I quickly pulled the 5 out of my pocket that I had been saving for the delicious candy bars the seniors would sell.

"Get me one please!" I shouted excitedly slapping the bill into his hand. I knew Jace was still at my side since we had class together, he didnt necessarily like my brother but it wasn't his job to.

My brother walked away skipping happily down the hall as other female vampires a little younger than him stopped to stare, I rolled my eyes hating how the social system worked in that regard.

"Dylan!" My vision clouded over at the shout of Dylan Wittenbecks name, a flashback of me as a kid burned over my vision, although I couldn't remember a single person named Dylan in my life.

Shaking my head I rubbed my forehead "that was weird." I I groaned feeling my head start to pound.

"What?" Jace asked opening his binder to check if he had his homework before snapping it shit and continuing our slow walk to class.

"Its hard to explain.." I'm mumbled, closing it off as a topic to discuss. I never told anyone about the strange black orb that fogged my memories and seemed to know my name, just as his seemed to be on the tip of my tongue but would vanish everytime I was about to get it. I eont know who this man is or how he relates to my life, why I cant remember him or any of the sort but I will figure it out.

Even if I have to ask Grandma Alexandra, I will figure it out one way or another.

Hello, I'm really sorry for the late update. Honestly, work, school and my mental health have been kicking my ass.

I've struggled with depression and anxiety for a long time but this year it's been particularly worse, my anxiety has gotten a tad bit better but I have found myself caring less and less, while also have absolutely any motivation to do the things love. I know none of you probably will read or care but, I just wanted to put it out there anyway.

Sorry if my grammar is trash.

Love, Sam.
