Bound By Fate

Chapter 3: New Information

(Opal's POV)

"You broke a law?!" Vex screams as I sit up.

"What? I haven't done anything!" I look behind her to see Arvo. One of the clan's watchers. "G- good evening..." I say stuttering.

"No need to be afraid. Your just going to come on a little walk with me." His blood red eyes feel like they are almost starring into my soul.

I look at Vex and she shrugs. "Sure..." I go with him into the gardens behind our house and we stay in silence for about ten minutes. "So what do you think I did?" I ask as he looks at the roses.

"It's not what I think you did and it's nothing you did at all. I'm asking you something..." I just look at him with confusion. "Are you aware you are not a full vampire?" I just stare with wide eyes. He nods. "I guess not."

"How is that possible?" I ask still trying to wrap my head around it.

"You were born a vampire. You just never had the qualities until you got older. When your mother "changed" you she was actually linking you to your form. The immortality, the need for blood, and the pale skin."

"So your punishing me for it?!" I ask yelling.

"We haven't decided that yet... Just know you will be in my thoughts miss Vice. Have a nice evening..." He walks off without going back inside and I see Vex standing in the doorway.

I go up to her and she hugs me. "I'm sorry... I thought you did something wrong..."

"It's ok... It's not hard to assume that when he shows up..." I say walking inside with her.

"No wonder I can live off of human food... I just never thought it was worth telling someone."

"Yeah and you can?"

"Yes, I always thought it was just liquids, like coffee, water, or wine. I was never a fan of soda so I haven't tried much of it. At one of your party's I got drunk of that wine I really liked. Then I had the urge to eat food."

"Hm... That is strange. Well I'm going to go hunt some. You want to come?" She asks heading towards the door.

"Sure." I smile and we run out and race around the forest looking for hunters. When I see one I take him down and suck him dry. "Wow I haven't done that in at least three weeks."

"Yeah your eyes where starting to show it. They almost looked pink."

"Hm. I'll change that quickly."

I run off again and we hunt almost the whole night, shocked at all the campers and hunters. That night when we get home I go to sleep seeing the girl from before. Her eyes look scared and hurt. I go over to her and when I try to ask her what's wrong she looks at me with confusion. Like she can't hear what I'm saying.

I just sit beside her, my skin not being able to get even close to hers. She just looks at me and I do the same. After a while she fades off and I sigh.

"So I guess we can't speak..."

"Who can't speak to who?" I jump up and open my eyes to see my sister Mary staring at me with her big yellow eyes. She only drinks animal blood. She has my same black hair except its short. "Did you get a visit from Arvo?"

"Um... Yeah. You did to?"

"Yep, can you believe we are some of the first hafies?"

"Hafies?"

"Yeah that's what I've decided to call us." She's still about 4 years younger. Than I am, but she acts like a twelve year old... Earthier way, she's the only person who annoys the crap out of me.

I roll my eyes and get out of bed. She follows me downstairs where I see three other members of the clan.

"Well you guys are here early..." I say yawning.

"Well it is only 5 o'clock." Sydney says with a laugh.

"It's way to early for this... Can I go back to sleep now?" Fray asks leaning on my shoulder. I rub her back and she smiles.

"Hehe... I agree." She hugs me then lays on the couch. Falling asleep almost instantly.

"Hay no sleeping!" Her brother hits her in the arm and she growls and punches him in the throat.

"Night, I'll be the one to say when there is no sleep. Got it?" She rolls back over and he sits grumbling.

"Alright alright... No fighting. This is an old house and I don't need it falling apart on us any time soon." Vex says sitting next to me and Mary. "So we just wait for an answer from Arvo?"

I nod and then there's a knock on the door. Vex goes and let's Deanne in (her wife). We all give a sigh of relief and I go on a walk.
