Vampire Family

Chapter 7: The Truth

The room was just silence, nothing was said, when I told Tara and Evan the truth about what happened to me, that Michaela had turned me into a vampire and we became mates.

Tara and Evan just stared at me, either in shock, awe, anger or completely utter bewilderment.
We sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity, as finally Tara spoke up. "I don't know what to say, Jake, you're one of us now, yet you're mated to a powerful vampire, so you're a part of her family and clan, which means you will have to attend a clan meeting."

"That shouldn't be too difficult then?" I ask.
Tara narrowed her eyes at me, "You're so calm about this aren't you? You think being a vampire is so easy? You still have no idea on how to be a vampire, don't you?" she says in an annoyed manner.
I narrow my eyes at her; I let my fangs extend a bit. "Are we going to have a problem, Tara?"
"If you want there to be a problem, I'm all for it." She replies with a hiss, her eyes glowing and fangs out.
"With my power I can kill you a thousand different ways, do not underestimate me." I slowly say in a threatening tone.
Evan puts a hand on his mates' shoulder. "Tara, relax, he is still new to all of this, when did you turn into a vampire, Jake?" asks Evan.
"Only three days ago." I reply.
"See, Tara, he is completely new to all of this, he is still learning."
I retract my fangs and calm down as Tara see's me not as a threat anymore, she retracts her fangs and calms down also.

She sighs. "Okay, I'm sorry how I acted, I didn't mean what I said, you're still new to this and you have a lot to learn. But it's just... that I and Evan are two hundred years old, we have had all those years to become more powerful and to fully master our vampire abilities, yet you have only just become a vampire with tremendous amounts of power, which I think you got manifested from Michaela's blood line, as you can tell I am kind of jealous, that's why I reacted like the way I did."
I put two and two together. "Wait, you're jealous of me, Tara?"
She nods slowly.
I lean forward. I clear my throat and clasp my hands together, "Let me explain to you Tara and...Evan that is if you feel the same way Tara does?"
He nods slowly, "More or less." He replies. I sigh and began my little speech. "You both have had two hundred years to be vampires, way before I even existed or my parents for that matter; you have seen everything, every war, every historic event, the evolution of civilization, yet look at me; I've only been a vampire for three days, my vampire changes have come into full affect, I'm still all new to this, I'm still learning, what I'm saying there is no reason at all to be jealous of me, you both were vampires before me."

Tara gives a smile, as she looks at Evan. "Jake's right Tara, there is no reason for us to be jealous, we were turned into vampires two hundred years ago. We have a lot of enduring as vampires; we know the ins and outs, our weaknesses, our strengths, our abilities we have mastered."

"Indeed he is right, Evan, thank you Jake, for the mood boost." She replies giving a smile.
I return her smile. "You're very welcome." Then my smile fades, and then turns into a serious frown.
Tara and Evan notice this as their own smiles fade.
I lean back into the chair, "Now, Tara and Evan now that I'm on your good terms, let's talk about the truth, shall we?"
They both give me uncertain looks. "What truth?" Tara asks.
"You both know how powerful I am, with your vampire abilities you can sense it in me and you both figured out that I would have inherited such powers by Michaela's bloodline, so you both know what I could do to both of you as I don't like to play games."

They give me a nervous look. Tara sighs. "Right, okay. What is it you want to know?" she replies.
"Excellent." I say. "You can start by telling me about Michaela's family?"
Before she had the chance to start talking, a wash of drowsiness hits me, as my vision goes blurry.
"Jake, are you alright?" Tara asks with concern in her voice.
"No I'm not." I reply. Both of them being two hundred year old vampires, instantly knew what was wrong with me.
"He needs blood, he needs to feed." Says Evan as he gets up, turns into a blur then comes back in a second with a bag of blood.
He hands it to me which I reach up and take from his hand, he was right I am indeed very hungry, the feeling is something that no human would know, it's like being drunk and starving at the same time.
