BLOOD LEGACIES

Chapter 50: A Reason To Leave {1}

"Even though we are twins, she didn’t take much of the witch’s blood. Seriously you guys I wanted to tell her this after she recovers now look at how shocked she is"

"Sorry Vanessa," Miles and Henry said in unison.

"W-W-Witch blood?"

"Yes Emma that’s the only way one can do magic," Owen said like it was a completely normal thing to say. And then I took a deep breath taking it all in, well I was the one who always wanted the truth, I guess I found it and how much of a bombshell is this?

"S-So do I?"

Vanessa shook her head. "No, you don’t"

"How do you..."

"I was there when you were born Emma, I checked, you don’t which is why further I didn’t want to pull you into the supernatural, even when your mom told me you were coming I panicked but I couldn’t say no in hope that I would keep you away from this"

I licked my lips. "I need a break"

"Of course, all of you leave, she needs to rest"

"Get well soon Emma," Henry said and Miles gave me a smile, Sarah forced a smile before dropping the flowers and leaving the room along with the others.

Owen remained, a look of worry in his eyes. "It’s hard to take in I know"

"O-Of course... I feel like I just..." I sighed, closing my eyes.

"I know," he said. "It gets better trust me"

"I just heard witches, shapeshifters, and what Vampires? And freaking Fae exist, what I have only seen in books, trust me it doesn’t"

"We understand you, Emma"

My eyes darted to Vanessa. "I was hoping this would never happen, so..."

I noticed as Owen’s eyes saddened further.

"I discussed with your mom, and she’s okay with it, I came up with a reasonable explanation"

"A reasonable explanation for what?" I demanded as my heart sky jumped.

"For you to leave Juneau"

I paused. "What?"

"I know but I feel you will be safe and I cannot bear the responsibility of something happening to you, do you know how scared I was when I found out what happened?"

The doors opened and I faced my mom who walked in.

"Is it true?" I asked, my voice shaky. "What... you and Vanessa discuss?"

"Yes honey, V discussed it with me, and I got it okay? The school, the lifestyle, it’s hard for you to adapt, baby I want you to be comfortable and if you’re not I don’t mind taking you with me, yes it will affect your studies but I want you to be happy"

"Emma" Owen began.

"I’m tired, I need to sleep," I said in a low voice but I was certain they heard me.

"Of course, V come on let her rest"

Vanessa nodded following behind her.

"Emma"

"You too Owen"

I closed my eyes, I heard nothing from him anymore but the moment I heard the door slam shut I opened my eyes, and I felt something cold leave my eyes, why was I crying? I mean I know Vanessa was doing this for me and everyone else but why does it hurt because I will leave?

I shook my head sobbing, having no appetite to eat any more jello so I laid back down, carefully with my hand.

"Fuck!"

I tussled and turned on my bed, Unable to take off my glasses nor shut my eyes, it has been hours since all the revelations, talks, and leaving Juneau, and yet I was unable to silence my brain and my body. I felt antsy, I felt... I don’t know but my body wasn’t settling, I felt like... I sat up, to get out of bed.

And I did, I was so sluggish like a snail that it took forever, I felt so heavy. I groaned holding onto my drip stance with my one good hand. Leisurely walking to the door and opening it, I peeped... the halls were empty, was it night? I was out fully before I could finish that question in my head.

I was hoping to see my mom or Vanessa or anyone at the bench next to my door but no one, I shrugged feeling the need to stroll and at least free this heavy body of mine.

I was slow, rolling my drip stance with my good hand, and my eyes skimming through the hall, I made a turn hoping to see any nurse but I didn’t, that was odd, I thought nurses usually stay here, the seat close to the computers had no one, I cautiously scanned the quiet place, where is everybody?

Suddenly I felt a cold chill in the air and my teeth chattered, the lights shaking, I became puzzled. Were the lights faulty? And where did that cold air come from? I moved my eyes away from the shaky lights and they fell on the hall, which was dark but my eyes narrowed when I spotted someone there, someone tall.

"H-Hello?"

The moment I caught notice of gleaming red eyes, I think I stopped breathing. I drew backward as my heart slammed to the point that it might fall off from my chest, I was gasping for air for I knew what that thing was, what was it doing here? And why? My grip tightened on my stance as I continued to draw backward, unable to take my eyes off the red-eye figure, my breathing picking up in seconds. I needed to calm myself so that I could think of the next course of action which was to RUN! Run Emma, Run! But can I? In the state, I am in? forget that! That was a damn vampire, what else but to run?!

The moment I sensed the figure coming for me, my breath caught and I whirled but I suddenly came face to face with the very Vampire that attacked me, how the hell was he still alive?!

"Hello wonderful"

My skin crawled and then he bared his fangs at me and I did the only thing I could... I screamed!
