Student Murders

the truth

Chapter 4 

"I missed you." Evan muttered and he brought me in for a kiss. This time however felt completely right. I leaned into the kiss and hugged him. Pulling back we looked into each other's eyes. "How did you meet my brother?" He questioned like I knew he would.

"He showed up near the cabin hurt. We helped him and I thought it was you, he even went as your name. Well we got close over the past week and he got healed enough to come looking for you. Along the way, we found Jenny. I came close to killing her a few times honestly." He looked mad by the end of me filling him in on everything. Wrapping me in his arms he pulled me closer, then grabbed the necklace.

"Did you have fun with him? Love him? I see he has given you my necklace." His grip tightened around me and he started to sound possessive over me. He threw an angry glance to his brother and then turned to me with the heated glare. "Well answer my questions." He grabbed my neck roughly, but it really didn't bother me.

"I did yes, but we had our moments and he'd become mean and grab me roughly. I did feel something, but that something was meant for you. He gave me the necklace and said he made it in town after we met, saying he was captivated by me from the first sight." His anger spiked, but it wasn't towards me, it's towards his now waking up twin brother. Evan's grip around me remained, it's more out of comfort than anger with me.

"Brother. We have some talking to do." He spoke in a cold tone. Ethan seemed to realize and he sat against the opposite wall with a still knocked out Jenny laying in his lap. "Why did you go to her. Why did you pretend to be me and give her my necklace." Evan fired of questions to Ethan, I am desperate to hear this as well. I can feel that Evan his a bit colder than humanly possible, but I pushed the thoughts away.

"I went to her, hoping she'd change your mind about all of this. I knew if I pretended to be you, then she'd trust me more. The necklace was to help solidify her trust in me." Some of what he said made sense. While other parts brought along more questions. "Ask him why he's down here Alexi." I turned to Evan looking for his answer.

"Ethan chained me down here. I started the killings looking for you. Same as Ethan did for Jenny about twenty years ago. I had given Jenny over to Karen when Ethan refused to allow me to get you. If I can't have my mate then neither would he get his." I tried to get out of Evan's hold, but he only held me tighter. What he said didn't make any sense, what in the world is this. I began to struggle more and more, but to no avail. I stopped when I heard Jenny waking up.

"Have you two told her yet? I would like to get out of this town sooner than later. Did you really have to hit me Alexi?" Jenny started speaking. She seemed calm with everything going on around us. I looked at her as if she had gone completely insane and everyone has gone completely crazy. "I'm your aunt by the way." I let out a chuckle. This is all a joke and I was in the middle of it all.

"Alexi. She really is your aunt. About twenty years ago we came to this town. Jenny is your dad's sister, also mate to Ethan. This all starts because your bloodline. It's the reason that you are able to absorb the knowledge and strength of others. Your father was able to, but Jenny never killed. I used compulsion to make everyone think they gain powers from killing each other, when in reality it is only you that gains it. I wanted you to be strong, not weak like Jenny." Evan began to explain everything, and for an odd reason I believed him.

"Jenny isn't as strong as she should be, is because I didn't want that for her. I wanted her to keep her innocences and not become a monster. She can still get stronger, but it won't be like you Alexi. Your not turned yet so you get all of it, Jenny only receives half." When he mentioned turning, my attention spiked up. I have so many questions.

"What do you mean I'm your mate. What is the turning you mean. You talk as though your not even human. That's ridiculous tho. Also Ethan I'm not a monster, so don't refer to me as one." I spewed my answers to the group. I grew mad when I remembered Ethan's monster comment, and laughed when the thought of them not being human re-entered my mind.

"We're vampires sweety. Royal to be exact. Mates are soulmates, it's the reason why no matter how much you want to distance yourself from me, you just can't manage to. He calls you a monster, because killing no longer bothers you. I wanted you strong since you'll be ruling with me." Evan is completely serious, and I knew that what he is saying is completely the truth. No matter how much I needed to deny it, I knew this was the reality I now live in.

"Can you end this? I want to speak to my family. Please evan... I will go with you. I just need to say goodbye." I pleaded with him. He took a few moments to think over my request to have a fair well with my folks. Maybe Jenny could even talk with my dad, her brother. "Jenny you can talk to dad as well. He never told us that he had a sister, but I'm sure he had his reasoning for it." She nodded agreeing.

We continued to stay in the basement and just talk about everything. They filled me in on the royal family thing. I found out that werewolves and witches are also real. Evan and Ethan turned out to be a century old. They also have a little is two hundred years old. They stop aging at the age of twenty and can live forever.

I pulled out my bag of jerky and began to munch on it while Ethan and Evan talked over when we will leave. I suggested we take Karen's mansion and move my family into it. I wanted them to join us at their castle, but no humans are aloud there. They both however agreed to let us visit here from time to time.

"I'm going to go to the cafeteria and get a drink. Meet me at the front doors?" Evan nodded to me and I got up to leave. Only for Evan to yank me back and kissed me passionately, before letting me go once more. I began to walk down the eerily quiet hallways, this place is completely sketchy at night. I made it to almost the end of the hallway when I heard crying. Walking to a class room, I opened the door and there is sarah holding a knife and crying.

"Hey what's going on? It's only me. Is there someone here trying to hurt you?" I asked her. She nodded and we both heard someone whistling down the hallway. I looked at her and whispered, "Hide." She nodded and took off to hide under the teachers desk. I ran and hid behind the chemicals, that way I could see and I'm completely hidden.

In walks Ben, one of the ones arrested for the first of the murders. I hoped that Ethan and Evan had made everyone go back to normal. He entered and immediately went to kicking over the tables. I'm hoping Sarah can stay quiet long enough for someone to get here. We're not far from the front doors, so they should hear the ruckus.

Sadly Sarah couldn't keep quiet when he slung a chair next to where she is. He quickly flipped the desk over and grabbed her. "You shou;dn't have ran. I told you I'd find you little mouse." He began to run the knife down her face like he's playing a game with her.

"Ben no pleeaa..." That's the last words that came from Sarah's mouth as Ben plunged the knife in her. I needed to stay hidden and quiet so that they didn't find me as well. I'm the last of the students with the highest IQ, everyone will now be hunting me.

All of a sudden Sunflower by Post Malone blares out. I can't believe I left my phone on full volume! By the time I got it silenced, Ben was making his way to me, immediately pinpointing the location where the music had come from. Now is the time to leave, I thought as I bounded to the door. Opening it quickly I came face to face with Andrea. Ducking and sidestepping quickly; thanking my dad for the training he has given me.

"No sense in running, we will find you!" Ben and Andrea screeched. If only I can make it out of town, perhaps I will survive this nightmare. The only thing is, every teen in town is on the hunt and I'm currently right in the middle of it. At least until Ethan and Evan stop everything.

Running out the doors I jump into Evan's arms. "You need to get everything back in order. A girl just died and Ben and Andrea are looking for me." By the end of my sentence I could hear the doors open and out come Ben and Andrea. Evan handed me off to Ethan and Jenny and sped in front of the two.

"How dare you think you can harm my mate. You'll both pay." In seconds he snapped their necks. Their both laying on the ground in a heap. What he done didn't scare me, but made my heart swell at his actions. He is protective and literally will kill for me. "Come on mate it's starting to get dark. We'll crash at Karen's house and in the morning everything will go back to normal. We'll also be leaving as well." We nodded and headed towards the house.

Just then I remembered that my phone had rang. They must have got the phone lines back connected. Fishing it out of my pocket I looked to see who had called. Seeing it was my mom, I quickly called back. "Hey mom, sorry I got caught in a bit of something." I told her clearly.

"Where on Earth are you? We woke up this morning and you and Evan had left." I could hear how scared she is in her voice.

"I'm fine. We went to find his brother. We will be home in the morning. We're crashing in a house that is empty and safe." I told her, hoping that she'd leave it.

"No we want you home now. You best be coming alone or your father will be even more angry." She began to grow angry towards the end. I'm grown and will do as I please.

"I don't care. I'll be back in the morning. There will also be three people joining me when I come back." I said with finality in my voice. I just wanted to go to bed and forget today.

"Fine!" Just like that she hung up on me. I can already tell that tomorrow is going to be a headache. She's already on my nerves right now and I know she will throw a fit when I leave. The house came into view and I let out a relieved sign.

"I'm going to go take a shower and change clothes." I told Evan when we entered the house. He nodded and began to follow me up the stairs. Turning around, "What do you think your doing?" I asked him in a serious tone.

He looked at me as if it is obvious. "I'm going to take a shower too." He began to push me up the steps, but I wouldn't move. He is not showing with me, and realization finally dawned on him. "I'm using a different one love." He lets out a hearty chuckle when I blushed. Instead of speaking, I rushed into a room and got into the shower.

When I got out, I felt so much better and at ease now. Making my way downstairs my nose is filled with the smell of streak. My stomach chose that moment to start growling. "Someone is hungary aren't they." Evan laughed. I just looked away embarrassed. He came and hugged me and kissed me on my cheek.

He has become very affectionate I've noticed. "Wait don't vampires only drink blood?" I asked when I realized all three of them had steaks. They all busted out laughing, like I just made a joke of the century. "Guys I'm serious!" I yelled when they continued laughing.

My mate is the first to sober up from their laughing fits. "No love. That came from Hollywood. We eat regular food. The only time we drink blood is when we mark our mates." He ran a finger down the crook of my neck when he mentioned marking. This caused an involuntary shiver to come over me. This didn't go unnoticed by he because he smirked.

He moved away so that we could eat and enjoy our dinner. We made small chit chat and I asked questions about the stereotypes surrounding them. Most unfortunately were untrue. Ethan and Evan took to doing the dishes while I decided to go to bed. I chose one of the rooms at the very end of the hall with a huge bed.

Just when I was about to close my eyes, I felt the bed dip and an arm tightly wound around my waist. Rolling over I kissed him and went to lay back down, but Evan had other plans. He began to kiss me back and rolled us over to where he was laying on top of me. He kissed me with so much passion that we seemed to mold together.

He started kissing down my neck to the spot that made me shiver once more. I can feel him grinning and then a sharp pinch. At first it made me gasp and then it felt like fireworks exploding. He released and I felt my own canines extending. Doing the same to him, I found his spot and marked him back. I like the spot to heal the way he did mine and leaned up to kiss him once more.

We kissed for a few more moments until Evan pulled back and placed a kiss to my forehead. "Sleep now. Your tired my love. We'll be getting up early." Just like that my eyes closed and I am pulled into a deep slumber. The last thought on my mind is if my mom will kill me when she finds out.
