Die For Something Beautiful

Chapter Six

                                                                                  Amara's POV
             I woke up alone in my bed. Well that is interesting. But I remember his mother saying that he had a meeting to go to so that's where he is I guess. I wonder what it's about. Probably their next record. I know they are very anxious to give the fans new music. I mean they have played a few unreleased songs(or have leaked songs on Instagram live).

             I get out of bed and walk into my bathroom to take a shower. After I get out of the shower, I put on some sweatpants and an over sized tee shirt and throw my hair up in a messy bun. I had the day off so I intended to stay home and do nothing. I make myself a bowl of cereal and make my way to the living room. I sit down and turn on the tv. But soon enough, that got boring. So I decided to do some housework. Once I got it all done, I put on some music and had a dance party all by myself. It's when I'm dancing and singing along to "Death Dance" that Remington and his brothers walk through my front door. I stop abruptly to stop from further embarrassing myself.

            "Wh-what are you guys doing here? And don't you ever think of knocking?" I ask the three of them. They just laugh at me before Remington says, "We didn't think you'd really mind us just walking in. And we just wanted to come by and see how you were doing. Out meeting got done early."

              "Of course I don't mind you coming over. Just try and knock every now and again, ok?"

               "So you enjoy dancing to our music do you?" Sebastian says while laughing. "Yes, yes I do. Not that you guys will ever see me dancing again. And are you guys hungry? I have some snacks." I say to them.  "Even me? You won't dance silly for me? And I could eat. Got any Nutella? Or Gushers?" Remington says while fake-pouting.

                "Yes Remington, even you won't see me dancing. I'm a horrible dancer. And yes, I have both. They re in the kitchen." Rem then runs off into the kitchen only to return moments later with both food items and a spoon for the Nutella. He sits on my couch and proceeds to eat the Nutella straight from the jar. " so do you guys want to stay for dinner? It's just going to be spaghetti because that is what I've been wanting all day."

                "Sure. Thank you Amara. That actually works for us because there is something we need to tell you. That's the real reason we are here." Sebastian said seriously.

              "Oh well you can tell me now if you guys want. And plus I wasn't planning on making dinner for awhile yet."

               "Remington... Remington!!" Sebastian yells trying to get Remington's attention. He looks up with a confused look on his face. "Are you ready to tell her?"

               "I-I don't know. Maybe we should wait." He says while looking down.

                "We can't back out now. It's now or never Rem. We are doing this for her safety. Would you rather her find out from us or from someone else?" Emerson says, clearly being the voice of reason for whatever they were arguing about. "I'd rather her not know. At least not yet." Remington says a bit down.

                "Guys! Just tell me! I can handle it. I'm a big girl." I demanded, getting irritated with the three of them.

                 "Uh.. Ok. Well you might want to sit down for it. It's a pretty big thing we have to tell you." Sebastian said. So I sit down and motion for them to continue. "Well it's not easy to say this but, the three of us are not human. We are in fact, vampires." Remington says dead serious(AN: sorry I had to!😂).

                I burst out laughing before saying, "I think you've been hanging upside down too much so all the blood going to your head has made you actually believe your nickname is real."

                "No he's right, Amara. We really are vampires. We have been since the 14th century." Emerson says quietly. "I-I don't believe you. Prove it. Prove to me that you guys are really vampires." I say with disbelief in my voice.

              "Ok we will. Just please don't scream." Remington pleaded. And then I see something change on each of their faces. Their eyes changed color slightly, taking on a jewel-like tone. Sebastian's now looked like blue topaz, Remington's looked like smoky Quartz and Emerson's, like labradorite. But that wasn't all. When they opened their mouths, their canines had become longer and sharper. They were not joking.

             "Holy crap. You guys were serious. You really are vampires! You're not gonna, like, suck my blood are you?" I said in complete awe.

             "No. We only ever drink from humans if we have their permission. Mostly we have someone who works at the local blood bank bring us a supply every couple of weeks." Remington says after returning to normal.

              "Oh ok. That's good to know. So you've been vampires since the 14th century? That's such a long time! But how is it that Kropp Circle happened? People have watched you grow up. I've watched you grow up!" I say becoming puzzled over that fact.

              "That is correct. We were all turned in the year 1318. Yes, we are quite old by that standard. And how we looked so young when we were Kropp Circle happened is simple to explain. We just glam lured ourselves. We made our bodies appear to be younger and aged up each year." Sebastian explained to me.

               "Oh. So you guys also have abilities? That's really cool! What else can you do?"

               "Yes we do. But I think that it's best if we showed you another time. For now, maybe you should just relax and process everything." Emerson says gently.

               "Ok. Well now that that's over with, do you guys want some food? I mean like human food." They all just stare at me like I grew two more heads.

               "What?"

                "We just told you this crazy big secret, and you just want to eat now?!" Sebastian said stunned.

                "What... Excitement makes me hungry. Don't judge." I say.

Hello all my lovelies!! Well the secret is finally out to Amara!! Well mostly. Remington still hasn't told her the other part. I think she took it pretty well, don't you? And I'm so like her right at the end where my mind goes right to food 😂. Well I hope you all enjoyed the chapter and don't forget to comment and vote!!! 😊💜
