Tercentenary

Chapter 4

The next day was a sunny day so my Mom and I decided that we’d walk to school. We live about 5 kilometres from the school but with our speed it takes barely a minute. When we arrived I showed my mom all my work and then finally my teacher. When their eyes met it looked as if they had seen a ghost. They didn’t say anything and my mom walked away and took a seat in the back. Her face looked confused. The meeting went through fast and my mom was the last one to leave. Once everyone left the room she ran up to my teacher and told me to go out of the classroom for a bit. I waited out in the hallway. I was bored and curious so I decided to snoop. I put my ear against the door and heard little words like “stay away from----” and “what are you trying----” it was hard to hear so I didn’t understand anything. My mom came out of the room hastily and angrily. I could barely keep up to her. When we got home she ran upstairs and locked herself in her room. 2 hours later, I started to get curious of what just happened with my teacher and my mom that I just had to get in there. I climbed out my window and around the roof and then finally into her room. When I went in her room, she was looking at photos of me when I was a little kid. I asked her what was wrong. She was speechless. I asked her again but this time she said “I never want you to go back to that school again....”  I asked her why? She said “you cannot trust your teacher...” Again I said “why? “  She said this time in a very scared way “h-h-he is a Dark Vampire!” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing so I said angrily “why didn’t you kill him right there and then?”  “He’s not just any Vampire” she said. I paused there, confused about what she just said. “What do you mean not just any vampire!” she started to look frightened and then at the top of her lungs “he’s your father...” she said
