Mermaids and Vampires

Chapter 5: The secrets will always come out

Sorry for making chapter 4 so short and making everyone wait for this chapter, I have been busy lately and haven't had time to update lately but here's another update...Enjoy......( Picture of the woods were Max and Alex walk)

*~*~*
Max' s View

He followed me!!!He followed me!! I couldn't believe it.. Alex followed me to the cabin! Why was I not cautious and why didn't I check to see if any one was following me. He's gonna tell mom and dad about Coral...My parents are gonna kill me and kill her. I forget my concerns and tell Coral "Umm...can I talk to my brother for a minute". She doesn't say anything so I think that's a yes and pull Alex outside and walk to the forest.

"WHY DID U FOLLOW ME!!" I yell once me and him are outside. "It's that you were always away since the day we went to the beach so I wanted to know why and followed you"Alex said in an innocent voice. "Well you were supposed to stay at home and help mom not venture by yourself in the forest...especially alone" I instantly reply back. "I'm sorry but I was so curi-". We stop walking and I yell"Well next time don't be!!!". Alex's eyes then began to fill with water...I was being to harsh, I gave him a big hug. "I'm sorry I just don't know what I would have done if I came home today and didn't see you there". "I understand" he said sniffling.

Then Alex stopped crying and asked "Who is that girl?". "It's a friend" I  say...lies. "She is very pretty but she smells like salt and fish". Damit he can smell it. "It's that she only eats fish and likes salt water because it makes her skin nicer" that was the most horrible lie I have ever said. "Oh" he replies. Then we start walking back because it is getting darker. As we get back I tell him "Promise me that you won't tell mom or dad about Coral..this is gonna be our little secret okay?" "Okay" he replies. Should I tell him the truth about her? Should  I tell her who I really am? As I try to answer these questions I see Alex run into the cabin. Dam this little boy.

Then once I get inside I see him asking her so much questions like if she was one of those famous humans at a interview. "Who are your parents? Why do you smell like fish and salt water? More important...we're do yo come from" he asked he with anticipation. Just when she is about to answer I remember that she doesn't know we're vampire and Alex doesn't know she's a mermaid. "Hold up Alex" I interrupt "she needs to relax she's hurt"I point at her leg. "Oh okay" he replies.

"So Alex do you want to help me make dinner"."Sure" he replies and skips to the kitchen. "I want to help" Coral says."No ba-Coral be aware of your condition". "Fine" she pouts and watches T.V. A few minutes later we finished dinner and set the table. "Were is the bl-" Alex yells. I cut him of but he doesn't understand why. Afterwards, we all sit down and eat our food and I look over to only see Alex sad to only have meat and not blood. I chuckle and go back to eating." I'm stuffed" Alex says. "Me too" Coral and I say in unison. We touch but then I say "Lets stay here  a few before going" to Alex. "Okay he says and runs upstairs to a room to play with whatever he could find.

"I'm going to the bathroom" Coral says. "Okay let me help you" I say. "No it's o-" even before she finishes her sentence I swept her off her feet and she pounds on my chest to let her down and I put her down at the top of the stairs. "Thanks but it wasn't necessary" she says. "No problem" I say and go back downstairs to clean the dishes. After I finished I watch some T.V and then realized that I haven't seen Alex and Coral for 10 minutes. Oh no I think to myself and run up the stairs.

As I get to the room where I hear voices I see the door open. Coral looks at me and yells "How could you" send pushes me out of the way and and storms to another room and slams the door.  I then look at Alex only see a face of deception."Why did you lie to me..I thought you trusted me?"He says. "I do I say. Then why didn't you tell me Coral was a mermaid" he says with a voice of deception. I stare at him and realize he knows that she is a mermaids and now she probably knows I am a vampire as well.
