The Midnight Love

Chapter VI

I backed away from her as walked passed me to clean herself up in the bathroom. I ran to Alex, though it was so fast it felt as though i teleported to him. he was dead, no doubt about it. I shut his eyes and sighed as i stood back up and pulled my pants on.

Brooke walked towards me and frowned as she knelt beside me as i sat on the floor, feeling overwhelmed by what was going on in my life right now. She rubbed my back gently, and i noticed she was back in her white night gown. "im sorry about that bobby" she apologized to me. i stared at her completly taken back, i thought she was bi polar. She sat in my lap and began to cry into my chest. I thought that this was all a dream for a moment because it literally made no sense. she sobbed in my arms for about 15 minutes before pulling herself together. "Bobby, i need to tell you something" she sniffled and looked up at me with the most genuinly innocent eyes id ever seen.

i glanced at the body in the far corner of the room and debated whether what she had to say was more important than cleaning up the scene. I looked back into her eyes and couldnt resist her as i nodded for her to tell me.

she cleared her throat and straightened up. "i lost my husband in the last war between the north and the south. i was devasted and had nothing but our baby left to remember him. i named the baby after him, Jessie.

when jessie turned 18, he wanted to help the cause and join the Northern Clan Army. i begged him not to, but he was his father's son and was filled with pride from the moment he was born. Jessie was killed at the battle of New Mexico. i went into a spiraling depression and i ran away from the war here in seattle. Ive been desperate for a child, anything to give me something to live for, something to love." she looked up at me after a long pause with tears in her eyes. "so is that what, this was about?" i pointed at the bed and she nodded at me slowly. i shook it out of my mind, choosing to feel sympathy for her rather than anger for her using me.

We sat with each other for another hour in silence letting all of this sink in. I looked at her, "if you came here to get away from the war, than why is the southern clan here attacking Bella? and why did alex want to research their DNA?" i asked her. "they are pushing through our borders, our front line has been thinning and those savages have pushed through. Alex wanted their venom to try and make a poison to kill them easier. but thats not all, he wanted to use it as leverage to get himself ranked higher in the army." she replied. i stared blankly at my newly aquired, pearly white skin.

i rose from the floor and walked over to Alex's lifeless body. i picked it up and carried it out back into the cold, snowy night where i burried him quickly. i came back inside and found Brooke dressed in her leather suit again. She looked at me with that adventurous smile on again, "Well, do you want to find Bella, or what?" she said with a wink. "you know, she left me. i dont think she wants to be found" i said flatly. "she didnt want to hurt you, honey. I bet she can really use her knight in shinning armor right now." she smiled and through a shirt and my leather jacket at me. "get dressed, we've got alot of ground to cover tonight" she said to me. "how are we supposed to find her? washington is huge" i complained. "obviously you havent done any fun vampire stuff yet. we'll find her i promise. The hard part will be keeping her safe with the army coming our way" she replied. "how the hell are we going to fight an army?" i asked her worriedly. she grinned widely at me, flashing her fangs and said "we fight their army, with our army. duh". i Nodded and felt my own new fangs with my teeth and chuckled to myself. "I cant believe this is fucking happening." i said outloud and she giggled as we walked towards her car. "you'll get use to it honey" she said to me and smiled widely.
