Whispers
in the Dark
Chapter
11
“A
war?”
“Yes. My parents were friends with some
vampires. My parents were humans, and these other vampires thought
that Vampires should not befriend humans. So they started a war.
They came after us in the middle of the night. I heard the noises
of the fight coming from the living room, so I got up to go
investigate. They were torturing my parents. I yelled at them to
stop, and then they came after me. I fought. This guy was about to
kill me, but I ducked. His claws hit my face. My parents were
almost dead, and I was about to die when their friends showed up
with reinforcements. They fought all the evil vampires away. Then
they saved my mom and dad by biting them, and turning them.”
I was silent for a minute.
“So, what happened after
that?”
“My
parents, being newborn vampires went crazy. They smelled my blood
and tried to attack me. Maksim and Ilona fought them off long
enough to escape with me. That’s when they told me that my
parents wouldn’t stop until they found me. That they
wouldn’t stop until I was dead. That’s when I realized,
I wasn’t too much of a help as long as I was human. I would
only get them killed if I stayed a human, so I made the choice to
undergo the transformation. Now here I am. Telling you about
this.”
“Can you get in trouble for telling
me?”
“No. But you can. If one of the rogues finds
out we’re communicating, it’ll be dangerous.
They’ll come after you.”
“What made you finally decide to tell
me?”
“Kirsten.”
“What about
her?”
“She had a vision. She keeps having them
until whatever is going to happen, happens. That only occurs when
the person in the vision is reluctant to do something. The vision
wouldn’t stop until I made my decision to talk to
you.”
“What can you
do?”
“I’m a tracker. I can find where people
are by following their scents or their emotions if they’re
strong enough.”
“That’s cool. Is that how you found
me?”
“Yes. Kirsten had a vision that you were in
trouble, but she didn’t know where, so I used your emotions
and scent.”
“Both?”
“Yeah. It’s easier to find people that
way. If I use both. But like I said, I can only use the emotions if
they are strong enough.”
“Oh.” And so it went. I asked questions
and he answered them. Not once did he ask me one. But whatever.
I’m sure he would soon enough.
