The Secret of the Immortals

4

Later that day I absolutely feel like shit. I think everyone has that day at least once. You know like the day you find out one of your loved ones died. Yeah I feel like that. I stood looking out Jeremiah's window. Apart of me hopes never to see jon again. Yet another part of me wants to see him so I could confront him. I never really considered that one person's words could change my entire life. But it truly can. Jeremiah told me the truth no matter how cruel it could be. Because he knew it mattered. How could someone be so damn gorgeous and respectful. Being a vampire made you flawless but respect...you had to learn. Maria you should probably eat, Jeremiah said entering his room interrupting my thoughts. Im not hungry, I deadpanned looking back at the window. Maria I heard your stomach growl earlier you need to eat don't make me force you, Jeremiah said sternly. How did you...oh yeah you have superhuman hearing but no im not eating your not my dad and apparently I don't have one, I said defiantly. I really didn't care if I starved and died. I just wanted to be alone. One more chance Maria then Im forcing you, Jeremiah said with a glint in his eye. How what are you gonna do shove the food down my throat no Im not eating, I said trying not to smile. He always seemed to make me smile. No matter how shitty my day was. All of the sudden in a blink of an eye Jeremiah scooped me up and put me on his shoulder. I laughed and playfully screamed, put me down you ogre. He growled like an ogre and started spinning in circles making me dizzy. I smacked at his face playfully, stop your gonna make me puke. He stopped his shoulder vibrating her stomach from him laughing. Lilly ran up the stairs and saw Jeremiah holding me over his shoulder. I huffed and leaned my shoulder on Jeremiah's shoulder holding my face. Could you help me go grab a pillow from your room then smack him repeatedly with it, I said smiling. Lilly giggled. No lilly I want you to go downstairs and I'll give you candy. Lilly laughed and ran to her room and came out with a pillow. Hey you little traitor AHHHH, Jeremiah screamed playfully running after lilly in human speed. Lilly screamed laughing throwing the pillow in his face and running downstairs. I laughed scruffing his silky black hair. Hey quit your messing up my hair, Jeremiah said running downstairs making me bounce up and down. I laughed trying to pull myself from his grip. You want me to drop you okay. NO don't drop me put me down safely. He went to the living room and dropped me on his tan soft couch. HEY I said don't drop me. He smirked, it was safe right. I rolled my eyes. Lilly giggled from behind the couch. Jeremiah raised his eyebrows smiling. I don't think that was my belly talking this time. That made Lilly giggle harder. Jeremiah jumped over the couch and picked up Lilly. RAAAAR ITS THE TICKLE MONSTER, Jeremiah screamed running over to the other couch. NOO NOT TICKLE MONSTER, Lilly screamed laughing. Jeremiah placed her on the couch and started tickling her. She laughed hard. Tears started forming in her eyes. Then all of the sudden I got butterflies. Jeremiah was like a father to her. He smiled while he tickled her. With his gigantic form and her tiny one it was a very touching scene. He thought of her as if she were his child. His daughter. If strangers from the streets were to see them together they would think he was her dad. I was lost deep in thought that I hadn't realized that Jeremiah was now looking at me with pure bliss and warmth in his eyes. He knew exactly what I was thinking. Say uncle, Jeremiah said to lilly. UNCLE, Lilly screamed. Finally Jeremiah got up and patted her head, lets go eat.

I was stuffed. Jeremiah had made us lasagna. He of course watched tv while we ate. Lilly was sent up to brush her teeth and go to bed after dinner. So Jeremiah and I were in the living room by ourselves. So when are you going to eat, I asked. He looked over at me the light from the tv making his face brighter then usual. I can last for a few more days then I'll have to sneak in the hospital in sapupla and get some blood packets. Well you realize Im human. Jeremiah looked very pissed by my statement, Im never gonna fucking suck your blood Im already monster enough as it is. Jeremiah your not a monster this is not your fault, I said truly meaning it. He stared at the tv. He seemed sad. Lost in thought. He must've been remembering how it happened. I walked to the kitchen and came back to the living room. Jeremiah scrunched his eyebrows. Without him seeing I slit my throat just to make blood appear on my skin. Jeremiah grabbed the knife from my hand and threw it, what the hell mar are you crazy. He nicknamed me. I sat down letting it breath. He stared at the blood running down my throat and onto my shirt. I blame you mar god dammit Im always gonna regret doing this, Jeremiah said sitting down. My heart raced harder then ever. I can hear your heart racing and that's good you should be afraid of me Im a monster, Jeremiah growled. No your not jer your unique I remember you saving me from those wolves, I said giving him a nickname. He placed my head on top of his lap. This is how i'll repay for it. He smiled stroking my hair, you don't have to do this mar. Jer just do it I already ruined my shirt, I giggled. I bit my lip when he licked the blood off my throat. He grabbed my hand, this will sting for just a sec. He bit through the vein in my throat and pulled his fangs out and started sucking the blood. I felt pure bliss. I breathed which made him chuckle. He knew I liked it. Embarrassing. I gripped his black hair which made him grunt a little. A wave of dizziness came over me. I slapped his shoulder as hard as I could to let him know to stop. He pulled away reluctantly and licked the blood away from her neck. He got up and went to the kitchen. He came back with a medical kit. I smiled trying to sit up. He shook his head sitting down and placed my head back on his lap. He wiped my neck with a cleansing wipe. Why are you smiling, Jeremiah asked. Because you think your a big and bad monster when really you seem like a soft giant teddy bear, I said giggling tiredly. He smiled, you know Im glad I've met you. My heart warmed hearing him say that. Im glad i met you to jer.
