Chapter 22 - The Truth Hurts

Amy's PoV

I needed to leave now. I had to get away from them. They were monsters and I was supposedly one of them.  I had to get away from these liars. John could run fast, if I tried running he would surely catch. I tried to back away slowly. Being as quiet as possible. That way John and Clare wouldn't be able to hear me over the conversation. I was near to a tree. As soon as I passed that I could move faster but as I put my foot down it landed on a twig and it snapped. I winced and looked up to see if they'd noticed. Unfortunately they had, John was staring at me. I did the first thing came to mind even though I knew it was pointless. I ran.

I ran as fast as I could. It was amazing. I felt the wind in my face. Everything was going so fast it looked slightly blurred. I could feel the adrenaline pumping threw my veins. But it all ended to fast. I felt hands go round my waist and lift me up. I struggled for a second wanting him to put me down straight away but got distracted when I noticed the group of people in front of us. I barely noticed John putting me down and gripping on to me tighter. My eyes were on the three in the middle. The three who'd been on my mind for the past weeks. The three who had meant the world to me.  The three who were supposed to be dead and buried.

I opened my mouth to speak but nothing would come out. I was speechless. I could hear lots of voices but ignored them. I was confused. My friends were here yet I saw them die. I was there when they were buried. How could they be here now? If they were my friends they would have told me they were alive instead of letting me think they were dead and grieving for then for weeks. I was starting to get angry now. How could they have done this to me? Them dying had changed my life but in a bad way.  I talked to people less and was quieter and more miserable.  John was the only one who helped me and now I find out he's a monster. I had trusted him and now I find out he wasn't who he said he was. Looking around I see lots of people weren't who they said they were. Becca was there next to Kylie. No wonder she kept telling me that where ever they were they were fine because she was with them. Also Becca's cousin was there. And he was holding hands with a girl who looked like the older version of Becca but darker hair and golden eyes.  Dr Jones was also there and there was a woman who was next to him. She looked like she was in her mid twenties and had shoulder length strawberry blonde hair. What on earth was going on?

The voices all around me were loud and getting louder. I was starting to get a headache. I tried to shut them out but that only worked for about half the voices. I wanted answers but I just couldn't speak. So much has happened to me. I'd been bitten by my boyfriend and found out he was a vampire. My supposedly dead best friends were right in front of me.  I found out I'm turning into a monster. And, oh yeah everyone's been lying to me. I've had enough. I'm tired of all these lies and secrets. I feel like I'm in a murder mystery movie were the person only faked there death and never really died. And that is totally not cool. My headache final reached its zenith and I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore and I felt like everything was spinning.  I tried rubbing my head but that made it worse. It felt like there was something inside me trying to get out. Great. I thought my day couldn't get any better.  This all had to stop.

"ENOUGH!!!" I screamed out loud and in my head while pushing away from John. I got in the middle of the clearing between the Jones's and the vampire twins. I spun around looking them all in the eye and demanded "What the heck is going on?!" as I said this I made it so my voice my voice was full of all the emotions that were going threw me. I saw my friends and John move closer to me "Stay away from me" I said slowly enouncing every word just to show how angry I was.  They all moved back and looked at me pleadingly.

"Amy, we came get you, we've been so worried about you. We Know your probably angry-" Kylie tried to say but I interrupted her.

"Probably. I've been depressed. Thinking all of you were dead"

"We know, we've been watching you"

"What the hell, so you've been stalking me"

"We had to make sure you were safe" Megan's cousin said, "with you spending all that time with John"

"She was safe with me!" John shouted "I've treated her better then you guys have"

"Really? Then why is there a bite mark on her neck?"

"You guys bit her in the first place that's why we're even here?

"I only bit her so she wouldn't die, do you have a good reason why you bit her?"

"Forget the biting me part" I shouted, I didn't really want them to know that John bit me when we were sleeping together.  Seeing "And you bit me Megan?"

"Well actually my name's not Megan, it's actually Rebecca, but people call me Becca which I have no idea how you knew. And yeah I bit you to save your life. I owned it to you guy seeing as it was my fault that you guys nearly died. I and my friend Connor were having a race through the woods. And Connor was in his wolf for because he's a werewolf and he was winning so I tripped him up to make him loose but then he went flying when he tripped and hit you guys"

 "You fucking bitch. You nearly kill me then ruin my life then go on that John and Claire are bad people when they've done nothing. Stop having a go at these guys, they've been way better to me then you guys have. First my supposed best friends faking there death and leaving me alone and depressed-"

"First off we didn't fake our death, for the part of the change we were going threw to happen our bodies had to be close to death to get the energy it needed for the change" Jas said calmly "Secondly the Jones's are better than them" she said pointing at the John and Claire. "The Jones's came here to help us while they-" before Jas could finish her sentence she collapsed to the ground and didn't move.

"Stop it Jonathan, just because she's telling the truth about you, that you came here to kill her"

I spun around abruptly and stared at him. "Is that true?" I asked. It couldn't be. He said he loved me, he even slept with me and helped me. Why would he want to kill me?

"No, I mean yes, in a way, but-" I could feel the tears in my eyes as he said this. He ran up to me then with his vampire speed and grabbed me by "Amy, I was only supposed to kill you if you were a threat and you weren't. Even if you were I wouldn't off-"

"Save it" I screamed with tears now flowing down my face. "Screw you, screw all of you. I hate every one of you guys. You've ruined my life" and with that I ran off thinking that if I never say these guys again that would still be too soon.

*******

It felt like I'd been running for hours. When I collapsed in a heap and started crying my eyes out. Finding out that everyone who you loved had been lying to you isn't easy. I kept crying until I crying until I cried myself to sleep in whatever forest I was in. My dreams were worse. I had nightmares about the past days events. As if my life wasn't hard enough my dreams had to make everything worse. I woke up when I heard the sounds of crunching leaves. I looked up to see to strangers walking towards. One looked about 20 with straight auburn hair and freckles. She was pale. And golden eyes. The man next to her looked about the same with spiked dark blonde hair. He had gold eyes to and was unnaturally pale. From what I'd learned today I could tell they weren't human. They were vampires. The dude gave me his hand and pulled me off the ground. The auburn haired lady smiled at me.

"Looks like you need some help" she had no idea how right she was.
