Ch.Two

Age 10:

It was around ten at night when Sebby returned home from work. It was not a surprise that he came home late because he had a lot to handle.

I was watching cartoons on the T.V when Sebby walked toward the huge cloud couch I was sitting on. "Why are you not asleep baby?"

Sebby sat himself down next to me. I smiled and plopped myself on his lap. It was my favorite place because when I sat on his lap, he played with my hair. "I was waiting for you."

"You don't have to. You have school tomorrow. It's important to go to bed on time baby." He lectured.

"Yeh, exactly! Tomorrow is a school day." I turned my head to him, "The new teacher gave me so much homework. And I don't know how to do them. I need help Sebby." I pointed toward the folders on my huge desk in the corner of my "hideout" room. I told Sebby I wanted a secret room like in the movies around a year ago and he had it built for me in the walk in closet of my bedroom. There was a hidden door behind my clothes, if I pushed it with my hand, it will recognize my handprint and automatically open the hidden door. Of course, Sebby had it built so he also had access to it. It was so cool, I felt like I was in a spy movie.

"It's late baby, why didn't you ask Crystal or Devin earlier?" Sebby put one arm around me while the other pat my head gently.

"Ughhh! Devin is literally clueless. He never knows anything. All he does is eat and say 'I don't know'. How did he even managed to graduate? And you know Crystal hates me. Not like I liked her either. She's a total bitch." I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes.

"Language, Evelin. Try to get along will you. You two are sisters." I moved off his lap and walked toward my desk. I can hear Sebby sighed behind me.

"You know that we're not really sisters. She's your sister." I looked through the math exercises Mrs. Brew gave me and immediately closed it back.

"I'm going to sleep. That stupid math assignment can wait." I walked out of my closet and crawled onto my bed. The bed was so welcoming. Sebby followed behind, he grabbed the AC remote control from my nightstand and turned it on for me.

Turning toward me, he put the covers on top of my me and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight baby."

Age 14:

"Oh look the brat's home. Have you been hoeing around all day? Isn't that what you do on weekends?" Crystal had a human boy on the floor next to her, inside the kitchen. Fucking hell, I was only trying to get some food. This bitch really had to extract blood inside my living space. More importantly, near my food.

Hoeing around what? Is she good? Hanging out with my friend is considered "hoeing" around? Thought vampires were smart, apparently she was an exception.

"Oh look the thirsty bitch brought a guy home." I mimicked while heading toward the fridge. She was not going to stop me from getting my food.

"Watch your mouth Everlin." She said my name with such bitterness. Honestly her voice made my ears bleed. No joke, it literally sounded like she was scratching her nails on a black board.

"Don't say my name, it's fucking annoying. I don't want my name coming out of the same place that had been on so many dicks." I looked through the fridge, scanning for something quick and easy. I couldn't see her but I just know she was fuming, smokes were probably coming out of her ear like Tom & Jerry.

Crystal yanked my left arm, turning me facing her. "Stop fucking act like you owned this place. A mere human like you has no right to talk to me like this."

That fucking hurt, what the fuck. This bitch is fucking vampire for god sake. I glanced at my forearm and a bruise were already starting to form. As bitchy as I am, I'm physically weak. Sensitive skin and a lot of health problems. Love that for me.

"You don't own it either. So stop fucking bringing guys here. Your brother told you didn't he? That you are not allowed to bring any humans or your fuck buddies here. You think I don't know his rule because I didn't say anything when I saw you brought guys to your room before? Well, Crystal I do know, I was just being nice and decided not to rat out on you. Guess you're just an ungrateful bitch." So much for wanting food, I walked out of the kitchen toward my room, not before seeing her face starting to become paler than she already was. As much as she was Sebastian's biological sister, I know Sebastian loved me more. How fun, can't wait to be entertain.

My arm bruised up really bad. Vampire's strength and my sensitive skin. What a fantastic combination. I don't even care if Sebastian was working right now, Crystal was getting her ass whoop.

"Hey baby." Sebastian picked up the phone almost immediately.

"Sebby, Crystal killed a guy in the kitchen." I forced tears down and faked a crying voice, making it sounded like I was absolutely terrified seeing a dead body. Nah, I'm not scared of those things. For one, I did lived with vampires my entirely life but Sebastian didn't have to know that.

"I'll be right there." He hung up and I scrolled through my twitter while waiting. I didn't have to wait long, barely five minutes later I heard the sound of his black convertible in front of the mansion.

I put my phone down, I didn't wipe my tears off on purpose. I crawled onto my bed and pretend to clutch the blankets. With his vampire speed, Sebastian was already crouching next to my bed.

"Baby, are you okay?" I sat up and put my arms around his neck. Sebby patted my back gently and when I pulled away, he saw my bruised arm.

"What happen to your arm?" His eyes grew darker and I knew he was mad. Like pouring to gasoline to a burning fire, I stuttered, "she- she-yanked my arm."

"Crystal? Stay here baby. I'll be back." he stood up and I grabbed a hold of his hand.

"No, it's fine. It's just a bruise, Seb." Lies.

"Wait here Everlin." His voice was firm and I obeyed. I smirked as soon as he left and followed behind. What fun will there be if I don't follow to see sweet Crystal get yelled at.

I ran after Sebastian but he was much faster than I was. By the time I got to Crystal's room, the door to her room was already busted open with a very angry Sebastian.

"How many times have I told you not to do anything here? Do you not fucking understand me Crystal? I don't want Everlin to see you fucking suck the blood out of her kind." I couldn't see him, I was a few meters away but I knew Sebastian's eyes were turning red. It was what happened when he got mad.

"It's my house too Sebastian. So what if she sees a dead body? It's not like she was the one getting killed." Crystal was also very mad.

"This is not your house. Fix your words, it's MY place and you're living in it. Don't do that again and don't fucking touch Everlin. You know she gets hurt easily. She's not one of us, her strength doesn't compare to yours." It saddened me a bit hearing that I was not one of them.

"Exactly! She's not one of us so why do you fucking treat me, your actual fucking sister, like shit compared to her? She was nothing to you. You picked her from the streets and she's a fucking human for god sake." Ouch, that kind of hurt. I knew what she said was true, that I was just a mere human. But I did know that I was everything to Sebastian. I ain't naive, I just knew. 

"You don't have a say in my decisions. If I want her here, she will stay and while she's here or anywhere out there, you don't have the rights to touch her. Do you understand Crystal?" Oh snap! Do you hear that Crystal? Because I did, very clearly.

And the actress of the year goes to me.
