The Secret of the Immortals

3

I wake up in a small bedroom. Light pours out of the window in front of me. The curtains are navy blue. Just like the sheet I  lay under. There was a dresser beside the window and a Ozzy Osborne poster hung above it. A night stand lay beside the bed with a lamp and clock on top of it. It was ten in the morning. Boxes lay scattered around the floor. How do you feel, Jeremiah said in the doorway scaring the crap out of me. Petrified, pissed, and very damn confused, I said more angrily then I intended to sound. Lilly had her arms wrapped around Jeremiah's leg. Im so sorry Maria I should've never went into that damn fucking gas station in the first place, Jeremiah said rubbing his temples angrily. What do you mean, I said confused. I mean I didn't really try to get gas I just saw you and...I was curious. So I walked in and made up an excuse to why I went in then I asked him a ton of questions about you, Jeremiah said shyly. I couldn't believe it. He went through all that trouble just to see me. That's why you left the money, I said understanding. He nodded. But how did you leave so fast, I asked. I ran, he said. How that fast, I said not believing him. Jeremiah sighed, I guess I should tell you I really wanted a friend and now Im gonna lose one. Im a vampire, Jeremiah said. I laughed. He's telling the truth, lilly said defensively glaring at me. I looked back at him. He looked at me. He walked up to me. He grabbed my hand and pressed it to his neck. His fingers startlingly cold. He had no...pulse. Then I realized it all came together. His cold skin, his flawlessness, how he threw the wolf, why he talked more in the day and not night, and the way my cat tigger went crazy at...home. You were at my house...weren't you, I asked. Jeremiah went ridged, yes I was. I felt anger seeping through my veins. Those were werewolves after me because they saw you at my house why the hell do they want to kill me Jeremiah, I asked raising my voice. Because they know Im taking what was on their property, Jeremiah said. What do you mean, I asked agitated and confused. The pain in my cheek started throbbing making me remember Jeremiah saving me. I mean I entered their packs  territory and they already said when the next full moon came they were gonna make you one of them. They have been watching you Maria. Jon your step father is apart of they're pack. He has been waiting for this day to come. And I was sent here to make sure that doesn't happen, Jeremiah said. Th-that's highly impossible because jon would never let them try to kill me, I said trying not to picture the grey wolf that had stared at me last night. Its green eyes alert and deadly. They weren't trying to kill you they were trying to turn you into one of them, because they knew I was trying to keep you away, Jeremiah said lightly not wanting to make me more upset then I already was. I tried digesting the fact that jon had been a werewolf and never tried telling me his true identity. Or that he was planning on making me one of them. But it was hard to grasp the fact that this was all real. But...I was starting to believe it. But he wasn't my real father, I said. Did my parents really give me up or was that not true, I saud shakily. Jeremiah seemed to sadden. Lilly came up to me and grabbed my hand. She must've been human. Because her hand was warm and soft. Maria I don't think you'd believe me if I told you the truth and you probably wouldn't want to know the truth, Jeremiah said warily. Jeremiah they were my parents I need to know, I said trying to be strong. Honestly he was probably right maybe I don't want to know. But at the same time if I didn't find out it would probably eat me up inside. Your right, Jeremiah agreed. Lilly tightened her grip on my hand. She must've already known the truth. Jon had been neighbors with your mom Rosalind and dad Joseph. And soon jon saw your mother was pregnant with you. That's when jon saw a life with you being a werewolf. Which meant that the Immortals had chosen you to become important to the wolves. The immortals are those who were chosen to rule over the other werewolves and vampires. Jon then told the pack and the news went around the entire world. Until finally jon told your parents who were human. So of course it would be quite difficult to believe as you already know. So when jon asked if he could turn you into a werechild (werewolf cub) when you were born your parents said no. And so jon decided to do the only other option he could do since they said no. Which was to forcefully take you. So when your mother was almost due with you he went into your house. Cut you out of your mother's stomach forcefully and carefully to make sure not to hurt you and...killed your dad when he got home. Your mother died later on from blood loss, Jeremiah finished not wanting to say those last words. I sat there in shock. Pure and utter shock. I couldn't breath. It felt as if someone had kicked me in the gut. My parents did want me and jon murdered them. He lied to me. All my life I hated my parents for leaving me when really jon was the one I should've hated for taking them from me. Before I knew it I started to sob. I fell to the floor dropping my hand from Lilly's hand. My entire body felt numb. I screamed choking on the tears that fell down my face. Lilly hugged me and with no hesitation I latched on to her. I barely could make out Jeremiah as he kneeled down and touched the smalls of my back. I screamed until I couldn't breath.  Jeremiah pulled me into his chest. Making it to where I let go of lilly. With his inhuman strength he gathered me into his lap. His cold chest soothed me. He strokes my hair and rocks me. I realize this was the safest I felt with anyone. Even safer then I felt with Jon especially now.
