Prince of The Night

Chapter6

Jason

"What's got you looking so happy?" Hunter asked as I entered the house.

I shrugged. "Nothing."

"Are you sure? I haven't seen you look that alive since Hayley-"

I immediately cut him off. I felt great shame and embarrassment every time I heard her name.

"Don't ever mention her name around me again Hunter." I clenched my jaws and held my fists tight.

"Jason, you're going to have to come to terms with it eventually. And you know talking about her does count as good therapy. Just think about the happy moments dude." He threw a few chips in his mouth.

Although eating actual food doesn't have an effect on us, Hunter and I still eat it anyway. What's good is that we never get full off of eating things like pancakes, or cereal, so we just eat it all the time.

Well, at least when my father isn't around.

Happy moments? After what they made me do to Hayley, I can never think of a happy moment with her. Every time I think of her I think of the monster that laid within me at the time. It was like I was under a spell or an outside force took control of me. I wasn't me in that moment because I know I wouldn't ever have hurt Hayley.

She was my first love.

She still is my one and only love.

Our son was too.

But no vampire could ever be in love with a human. Having a half-blood is a disgrace to the vampire name.

Humans aren't supposed to know vampires exist.

I kept Hayley hidden until the birth of our son, William. Throughout Hayley's pregnancy she was losing a lot of blood. We found out that that was occurring due to the baby being vampire. He was sucking out Hayley's blood in order to feed himself. Hayley didn't know that although she was pregnant with only one baby, due to the high possibility of him being half vampire she'd have to eat double the nutrients in order to avoid the baby using it's mothers blood as food.

Once she was in labour she started to lose a lot more blood and her body grew even weaker. To be honest, it was a miracle that she even survived the entire pregnancy. However, because Hayley was losing so much blood and because she was so weak, she was on the brink of death. I couldn't bring her to the hospital and have her give birth to a half-blood which would've exposed us, and I couldn't bring her to my place because she would've automatically been killed.

So I did the next best thing; I brought her to my mother. She was a nurse.

My dad and her separated when I was young and she moved away from him to live a "normal life".

She was someone I thought I trusted.

She told my father and after that, my whole world turned around.

They made me kill her and my son. Although it was me who killed her, it wasn't really me who did it.

It was my mother who took control of my body and killed her using my hands. She clearly didn't want their death to physically be in her hands, so she made me do it.

After their death, I vowed to never get involved with another human. I vowed to never hurt another human or allow one to get hurt in my presence.

I vowed to protect them, but from a distance.

I can't let what happened to Hayley happen to anyone else.

It's pretty contradicting because I've completely involved myself in Rues life putting her in more danger. But that night I thought of Hayley. I saw Hayley in Rue and I couldn't do it. I wouldn't do it. Now that Dani knows, I'm putting Rue in the most ultimate risk.
