Wait until night

Chapter 17

Reagan

My life was a lot harder! I have to stay away from Brooklyn now! One of my best friends is trying to kill my kind. I know they don't know I'm a vampire, but I can't lose control. Even though I haven't even tasted blood yet. It's been a whole week and I haven't tasted blood. August told me I'm going to end up starving because human food doesn't actually feed us. We HAVE to drink blood and eat animals or something at least three times a week, or we will starve... you get the rest.

"Reagan... have you talked to Brooklyn recently?" Taylor asked.

I shook my head. As much as I want to, I'm not supposed to. Unless I have a death wish. She hates my kind. I don't know what happend to make werewolves hate vampires. But they hate us... and we hate them. I really don't want to hate Brooklyn! I love Brooklyn! We always have been best friends and this is getting in our way.

"REAGAN! I asked you something!" Taylor yelled trying to get my attention.

"Oh sorry. What is it?" I had no idea what she's been talking about or if she's been talking.

"Why is Brooklyn hanging out with Ava all the time? And why don't we hang out anymore?! And is she a werewolf?"

"Oh... I don't know." I really do know the answer to all of those questions though.

"Uh huh... Reagan?" Taylor asked.

"What?" I asked back.

"What are all of these secrets? And why am I in the middle of all of it?"

I shrugged and said "What secrets?" I feel bad that I'm lying to her, but I can't expose myself.

"I HATE YOU REAGAN!!!" Taylor yelled.

I couldn't tell if she was lying or if she was being sincere.

"Hahaha good one." I chuckled.

"I'M NOT JOKING!!" she wasn't lying.

"Why do you hate me?!" I'm so confused.

"YOU ALWAYS LIE TO ME! I KNOW YOU ARE KEEPING SECRETS AND I'M GOING TO FIND THEM ALL OUT!!!!" Taylor yelled then ran out of my house.

I can't believe it! Being a vampire wrecked my friendship with Taylor AND Brooklyn. My life is wrecked! I can't tell Slater or August that I'm miserable because they would feel bad that they DESTROYED my life. But then again they didn't. I've been able to see the world a different way.

"Reagan! Get down here!" My dad yelled from downstairs... he sounded pissed.

"COMING!" I yelled back.

When I got down there Rashae, Axel, and my dad were all on the couch.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Whats this?" my dad held up a gutted rabbit.

Oh crap! That was the rabbit I ate last night because I HAD to hunt! I was starving! And it tasted really good, but that's not the point.

"I don't know..." I lied.

"R, we found it in the trash... I even saw you through it away last night." Rashae said.

"OH THAT!!! HAHAHA!!! I found that on our porch so I threw it away." I lied again.

"That's not true..." Axel started. "There are bite marks on it and your teeth were bloody last night."

Uh oh... Then I remembered something that August and Slater taught me... the mind wiping thing. I looked into all of their eyes and started the spell thing. In a minute or two, my dad spoke, "EWWW! WHAT IS THIS DOING HERE!!!"

Rashae and Axel screamed. I screamed with them just so they didn't expect anything. HAHAHA!!! This totally worked. Then I got a call from August. I answered and when I heard her voice, it sounded like she was crying... a lot.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Logan car accident werewolves." I could barely understand her.

"Where are you? I'm coming to get you."

"I'm right by Mission Beach."

"I'll be right there!!" I hung up.

"Uhhhh, Dad. I need to go to the library to study." I lied.

"Okay." he said.

I rushed out the door and hopped in my jeep. I know I probably could run faster but I didn't want to get caught.

When I got to Mission Beach, I saw the police and ambulances all surrounded around August. I ran over there and saw her on the ground holding Logan's head and crying a lot!

"AUGUST!" I yelled.

I ran right to her side.

"She was in the middle of explaining to us what happened and she just started balling her eyes out when she saw his face again and now she won't let him go." explained the officer.

"Let me talk to her." I said.

"You can... if she will talk to you." the officer said.

I rolled my eyes, then knelt down beside her.

"August what happened?" I asked quietly.

"We were driving and a big dog jumped at us through the windshield. Then... we flipped and he was thrown through the windshield what was left of it... and he... he..." she said.

"Hey hey it's okay, I'll drive you home." I said to her.

I looked at the police wondering if they wanted more information but they didn't seem to care. I helped her into the car and started driving to her parent's house. She didn't register until we were there.

Salter greeted us at the front door. He looked at August but looked away. Ugh I am mad at him, I can't believe that he would not care what happened to her just because of some stupid fight.

We got inside to find her parents and Lydia on the couch watching TV. Lydia gasped when she saw us and ran over to us quickly.

"WHAT HAPPENED?!" she exclaimed.

"Logan is dead." August said.
