THE VAMPIRES SECRET

CHAPTER THREE

His eyes were glued to the screen that he almost had a heart attack when he heard the knock on the door.

"Mom" he hugged her.

"You look like you just saw a ghost, are you okay?" she asked amused and he smiled "yes,vyou omly took me by surprise" he said with a grin.

She went in and headed straight to the room to shower before coming down to make dinner. When she was done she called out to him to set the table while she served the food. They were eating in silence and she noticed a sad look on his face.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing" he replied not wanting to tell her about Bryan and his bully friends.

"You don't look happy, did something happen at school?" ,

"No" she looked at him got a while before nodding just then he broke out.

"Am tired of being bullied just because I want to be left alone, am tired of not being able to defend myself just because am a stupid vampire" he burst out, he didn't realize that he was yelling. He had never lhad an argument less yelling at her it was new and she could understand his pain but there was nothing she could do about it.

"I know it hard for you but there nothing you can do, you have to keep your identity hidden so you won't be taken away from me" she said stroking his hair trying toake him understand. He sobbed in her arms, sometimes he wished they never had that stupid war, he wouldn't have lost his parents but he was still hoping his mom was alive. At least there would be someone like him who he can talk to, someone who cam understand him.

Although this woman acted like his mom, she never understands what being a vampire was, he couldn't blame her she was human. After dinner he helped her cleared the played before going to bed. She tucked him in and kissed his forehead "good night baby"

"good night" he responded and she turned off the lights and went to her room. She often stayed up late at night working.

The night was so long and I felt thirsty, I went downstairs to get some water. I gulped down the first glass but it didn't stop, I had drank 5 glasses and I still felt thirsty like I was starved. I didn't know what this feeling was, my body began to itch and my gum hurt.

I continued drinking water but to no avail it was like my body craved for something, I went to the fridge and grabbed the bottle of milk and gulped it down but my thirst increased. I went mad, I slapped the glass and it crashed to the ground and shattered to pieces. Mom ran downstairs to the sounds that were coming from the kitchen and when she saw me she was in shock.

"Hey it's okay, come here?" She said trying to calm me down, she took a few step closer to me, and hugged me.

For some odd reason my eyes were focused at her neck. As I looked at it I could see the vein, my gum itched the more and before I knew it my fangs began to come out. I have never bitten someone before and I couldn't bit her, she was my mom. I tried to control myself but her veins kept popping out and I could hear her heartbeat or was it mine I didn't know.

I pushed her away "don't come close" I warned her because it was hard to control myself around her, but she didn't listen.

"It okay honey,am ere for you" she said moving closer to me.

"Don't, please" I begged trying to warn her about what I wanted to do but she just wouldn't listen. As she hugged me again, my gum itched and I hissed in pain.

"It's alright" she said stroking my back just then I lost control and before I knew it I sank my fangs into her neck. She whimped in pain as I suck from her. I had been starved for years. I sucked her roughly but she didn't push me away when I couldn't hear her heartbeat I stopped to check if she was still alive. She looked at me in shock of what had just happened. My fangs were covered with blood, her blood when I realized what I had done, I bowed my head.

"Am sorry, I didn't know what came over me" I apologized immediately but she didn't look hurt or frightened, she just smiled and rubbed her neck and said "are you full?, was that enough?" I was surprised by her questions even I didn't want to suck from her again so I just lied "yes, thank you" I replied she rubbed my head "go to your room now, I'll clean up this mess" I walked to my room , my fangs were still out and I still wanted more blood so I went straight to bed.

The next day mom didn't let me go to school even when I told her I was fine. She insisted on me staying at home so she was sure I wasn't going to go crazy again. She stayed at home with me continuly watching me, she never let me out of her sight. She reminded me of my mom when I got botten by a poisonous snake,bi was too young so it was hard for my body to get rid of the poison so she kept me on a close watch and gave me everything I wanted. I stayed at home indoors for three days and was bored to death. I didn't have friends but I love being outside in the open staying indoors was suffocating. The next morning I got up early and told mom I was going to school and I wasn't taking no for an answer and she let me go making me promise her that I should call her if anything happens and I did, I needed my freedom.
