Why Me

Rain.

Jack's POV

The sun was setting.the clouds grew dark.

We were at the kingdom.

my 'home'.

The villages were lit with lanterns making it seem very peaceful and beautiful.

In a far distance was the castle.

Same old same old.

When we are about to approach the start of villages. It dawned at me.

I shouldn't just show myself at people after 4 years.

i stop in my tracks that make them stop.

"Shouldn't we like climb the roofs?" I asked. Gabe and Alice both look at me waiting for an explanation.

" well I want to make a grand entrance" I start " people shouldn't know I'm here yet it's a surprise"

making the word surprise longer hoping they would understand.

They nod.

I climb to the roof first. Once we are all up we jump on roofs passing by like the wind.

In the corner of my eye I catch a girl smiling to someone else.

Her fangs weren't showing.

Duh.

No one but royals were vampires here. That we know of. The people don't know anything about vampires just a folk tale.

We decide to approach the side of the castle. I look up the side.

We can do this.

" so we're just gonna climb the side to the window opening." Alice asked

" yes" I say

I start climbing first.

.The first drop of rain dropped in my eye. I blink 5 times before recovering. It feels weird when that happens. More drops off rain meet my body. I start slipping down.

I start to climb but I slip making a back flip to the making a proposal stance.

I look up and stand up.

I take my backpack out and look through it.

I take out a claw with a rope tied to it. I swing it up making it grab the side of the balcony.

I start climbing.

The rain making it hard for me. I slip but I recover.

Almost half way there when I slip and fall to the ground.

I stand up angrily smacking away the dirt

" anyone else wanna try" I asked

Alice and Gabe had the gadget I had out already.alice throws hers up and starts going up. she slips to the ground making a squeaking sound from her shoes slowly falling to her knees.

" that was embarrassing" she said letting Gabe try. Gabe throws his up and starts climbing. He slips but keeps going then he meets the floor again.

He throws the gadget out into the distance.

" stupid rain" he muttered kicking a rock

Then it hit me.

That smell. Blood. Not just anyone's. Kiara's blood.
