Penelope's Secret

chapter 12

Noah's POV
On his computer.
   I was trying to find more things on the cases and I found nothing. I got myself a snack and ate it still looking vigorously for clues. I found nothing new except the polices' statements about what they think it might be. I scoffed at their accusations of the killer being an animal.
   My mind started to wander to Penelope, Elliot, and the whole vampire stuff. Why are they here? Can they even die? Do they sleep? Do they have some kind of new vampire schools? So many questions I need answered.
   I looked up vampires on my computer. I found stories and even more questions. I mean I guess its time to talk to Penelope. I gulp.

Six o'clock
   I heard a knock at the door and go to open the door but my sister beats me to it. Penelope was right there with Elliot behind her. Karlee greets them and they walk in.
   Elliot winks at my sister and she gives him a disgusted look. Elliot took that as a challenge and he grabs her hand and kisses it. Karlee jerks it away and walks to the living room to watch TV.
   I guide Penelope and Elliot to my room. Penelope looks around with a tint of red to her face. Elliot goes and sits on my bed and crosses his legs.
   "What you find Noah? And I didn't know you had a hot sister." Elliot says and looks at me.
   "Nothing except police public statements." I said.
   "Wow then I am leaving." Elliot says as he gets up to leave.
   "Its OK Noah. I am sure you are trying your hardest. Police just tend to keep the public in the dark." Penelope says as she puts a hand on my shoulder. I blush and go to sit at my computer. Penelope pulls a seat next to me. I forgot to close my vampire research and she sees it all.
   "You are looking up vampire origins?" She asks.
   "Yeah I was a little curious. Also I have questions." I said looking at her.
   "OK. Shoot." She says looking straight into my eyes.
   "Where do you guys originate." I asked my first question.
   "No one really knows because there were different versions of vampires throughout history and through many different cultures." She says.
   "Do vampires have like some kind of school? Like vampire101?" I asked and she chuckles.
   "Kinda. When you are discovered you are given a chance to live with a more experienced vampire. They teach you how to control yourself. What you can use as a substitute instead of blood in case you can't get to any. You are also taught other things. I still live with Carol even though I learned a lot of what I know." She says.
   "Who is Carol?" I asked.
   "She is my mentor. I have been with her since 1884." She says.
   "How old are you? How were you turned?" I asked.
   "I was born in 1833. I was turned in 1850. A guy who was a family friend, to be honest I had kind of a crush on him. I wasa naive. When I turned seventeen, he started to show interest. My family was throwing a party. He lured me to a corner. He told me he wanted to marry me. I of course said yes. When I did he kissed me and started kissing me till he got to my neck. He bit me. I remember the feeling, the blood draining out of my neck. When he was finished. I fell to the floor. I looked up and saw his eyes, his teeth, and my blood on his face. I passed out and he left me there. I woke up at in my room. I just heard the doctor pronounce me dead. I sat straight up. I heard my mother scream as she ran to hug me. I remember feeling the urge to bite her. I left that day and hid in the shadows. Until Carol found me." She said her story a tear shed down her cheek. I lifted my hand and wiped it.
   "What happened to the guy?" I asked didn't leave her cheek.
   "He was locked up in 1996, he was charged with changing me into a vampire." She said.
   "I mean I know he tricked you. But why was he killed." I asked curious.
   "Exactly why he was charged. A new vampire law was assigned. That if any vampire was turned by trickery when they were under the age of eighteen. That vampire will be locked up until seen fit." Penelope looked at me. "And since I was discovered in 1884, they had record of how I was turned and his name."
   "Oh OK. I have two more questions." I said as I removed my hand.
   "OK." She says.
   "OK actually three. Who was the first vampire? Who was she? Can you die?" I asked.

Penelope will explain the story in the next chapter. And a long one omg!!!!!!
