Prince of The Night

Chapter 2

Rue

He dropped me off directly in front of my house like he said he would.

I totally can't wait to tell Lola about this and go to the police and cause and end to the murder sprees!

I did a little dance in excitement. I'll become a hero! The whole town will honor me and send me a bunch of gifts!

"Yeah you can't do that." The guy said, pulling his hoodie back on.

Wait what? Did he just read my mind? So it's true, vampires can read people's minds.

"What do you mean I can't? Your people are killing my people! My god you guys almost killed me for crying out loud!"

"No, we didn't try to kill you. The ferals tried to kill you."

I gave him a blank expression.

"I can see that you're confused." He began to fidget with his fingers. "I can't really get into that with a human, since you won't understand. Long story short, vampires like I and my buddy Hunter are here to cause an end to the ferals and maintain peace between the vampires and humans." He explained to me.

"Wait so people already know vampires exist?" I shifted my weight on my right heel and folded my arms.

"No, not necessarily. Well-not yet at least. The only way we can co exist is by keeping our identity secret because once your government finds out of our existence an all out war will occur which is something we are trying to avoid because the clear winner will be us, but that's something my father doesn't want due to the outpouring amount of vampires trying to solely live as humans."

I blinked a few times trying to process what he said.

So there are vampires out here attempting to live a normal life? That means there's a huge possibility that I walk past vampires almost every day! I could even be going to school with one.

I felt my legs getting weak. I caught myself on the door knob.

"So what would happen if I said something?"

"Well you won't be able to say anything. Because we will find out before you actually do it leading to your tragic death and we don't want that to happen don't we?" It sounded like he was trying to mock me and make me scared on purpose.

"Are you trying to make a fool of me?" I said getting angered.

"No, I'm actually dead serious." He took another deep breath and quickly zipped up his sweater.

"Now I got to go, next time don't be walking out in the streets so late alone. Stay safe, human." He turned around on his heel.

Before he flew away I called out. "HEY!"

He turned towards me with an evident smile on his face.

"I- I uh I didn't get your name." I felt my cheeks heating up

"And why is that important?" He mocked.

Is it getting hot in here or is just me. I placed my hands on my cheeks covering up the red marks that were forming.

"Ya know what, never mind." I brushed it off.

"Jason. My name is Jason."

With that he turned around and flew off.

"Rue." I said softly.

"Rue wake your ass up!" My mother yelled as she pulled on my covers. "Rue I know you hear me!"

I gripped my cover tighter. "Mom, please just a few more minutes."

"No Rue. It's 10:30 and you have to be in class by 11:15 for your test! I can't have you flunking out of school! You're my only child and I would like for my only offspring to be successful and be better than her mother!"

With that, I sat up from my bed and just stared at her heartfelt words.

"Aw mommy." I placed my hand over my heart. "Do you really love me that much?"

I began making little baby noises and reaching out to her for a hug.

"Ew, no that's gross. Get dressed and go." She hurried out the room before I touched her.

My mom hasn't really been great with affection. She's never told me she loved me(at least to my face but she says it when I'm asleep) she's never hugs me, and she never talks about her feelings. Ever since my dad went ghost on us she's just shut all of her emotions out. I don't blame her though.

Honestly, when my dad left I was devastated. Even though I was 6 when he left he was my whole world. I knew him for my whole life, he was the only male figure I looked up to. In school when teachers used to ask who inspires us and who our hero's were I always mentioned my dad. I never knew exactly what his job was, but I know he was out there saving lives- saving my life to be exact.

But I guess I didn't matter too much to him. I mean I'm only 6 years of a life that he lived for 36 years at the time. If you think about it, he's lived 30 years without me and 6 years isn't that much so I'm just a small part of his life. I don't hate him, I still love him with all of my heart. His memory is my muse and I use the thought of him to get me through the day. The thought of him makes me want to be better, the thought of him makes me want to find a man that I know I am going to be with forever. I don't want to end up like my mom.

I want to be happy.

Rapidly, I got ready for the day and headed towards school.

I prayed and prayed that I would pass this statistics exam and maintain this 3.0 gpa. I hope God Pulls through for me this time.
