My Stepbrother Is A Vampire

The cheerful chatter of the cafeteria is interrupted by a loud female scream. A girl can be seen running out of the large hall with horror written all over her face. The cause of said horror would be Carter Miller who had accidentally spilled his drink all over her Honestly, I don't blame Emily for panicking. This had to be the third time this month Carter had spilled his blood bag all over her. I was beginning to think he did it on purpose just so he could see her freak out and have a panic attack. He was probably still bitter about Emily breaking up with him after finding out what he was Carter Miller was one of the few vampires that attended our school. More than half of the school population was made up of what we call supernatural. Those were things that we had all assumed had been nothing more than bedtime stories or myths, yet they turned out to be real. And scarily enough blended well with humans to the point one couldn't tell them apart from us Half a decade ago, the existence of supernatural beings was made known to the human population. Now they lived freely amongst us, as long as they didn't hurt anybody then they were free to live as they liked. They attended our schools, worked among humans, lived with humans, and interacted with us Ghouls, werewolves, witches, incubuses and vampires, all lived with us now. Despite the world accepting their existence, some of us were still terrified of them. People like Emily who happened to find out that her childhood friend and long-time boyfriend had all along been a blood-sucking vampire had trouble accepting things. And for people like me whose mom happened to be married to a vampire and had a vampire as a stepbrother, I had no choice but to accept it It was weird. It was scary. It was unavoidable. Living with things we once thought didn't even exist, knowing that my step-family could one day lose control and suck all the blood out of my mom and I was terrifying. This was why I planned to save enough money to take both me and my mom away from this town. To a place where only humans lived without fear. Things could go back to the way it was before. I don't think the world is going to change back anytime soon. I mean I just saw on the news last night that the president of the state was a werewolf. Shocking. I sighed to myself, taking a bite from my apple. I glanced over my shoulder to see that the boy behind me was munching down on a stake, raw and uncooked. He was chewing so loudly and making satisfied hums with each bite that it sent shivers down my spine. Geez, a girl couldn't even eat in peace I grab my apple and make my way out of the cafeteria. I took a big bite out of it, tossed it into the nearby trashcan, and then made my way over to the bathroom. I knew I would find my best friend there. I found Emily hunched over the sink while trying hard to wash off the blood from her shirt. " Are you okay, Em?" She looks over at me from her shoulder and shakes her head. Her eyes were red and it was obvious that she had been crying. " I don't know why he keeps doing this to me. He knows how much blood scares me" " I know" I walk over to her and grab some tissues to help her with her cleaning. Most of the blood had been washed away leaving behind only a red patch. " We have only a year left remember? After high school we can move away to Hawaii, they don't have supernatural there, at least that's what they say on the news " " How do you know that? It can't be true. These things...they are everywhere!" " We can only keep to ourselves. Besides, I think Carter is only doing this because he still likes you" " I know" Emily sighs, her gaze softening as she thinks back on her childhood sweetheart. " I miss him too. It's just that..he drinks blood you know? I know he needs it as much as we need food but I can't handle it sometimes. I hate blood, I love him but I hate blood" " You'll figure it out, I know you will" I give her a friendly nudge and she laughs. " Clean up, I'll get your books from the cafe" " Kay" I hand over the tissue to her and make my way out of the bathroom. The hallways were empty, mostly because everyone else was still in the lunch room. I had hoped it would remain empty for longer, at least until Emily felt ready to come out of the bathroom. However, I knew that was only my wishful thinking when I heard the sound of familiar laughter approaching me, I knew that my hopes would soon be dashed. The school's pretty boys were approaching. I stood my ground and waited. I needed to have a little word with Carter about the stunt he pulled today It doesn't take long before their group makes their appearance. Western High PB ( short for pretty boys) was made up of four members. The handsome playboy (incubus) Kevin, The sports guy ( Ghoul ) Ashton, The Genius Walter (Werewolf ), and the most popular guy in school, Carter ( vampire). These four jerks were the dreams and nightmares of every human girl in school. Girls both loved and feared them at the same time. All girls, but not me " Carter" I called out, gaining their attention. I wasn't intimidated by the multiple eyes looking in my direction. I didn't care to look at any of them as Carter was my main target. The f*****g asshole who wouldn't leave my best friend the hell alone! " Well hello there, Kerry" He gives me a wide grin. He probably knew the reason why I chose to address him. Usually, I avoided any encounter with the jerkass, not because of Emily, but for Personal reasons. Even while they were still dating, when Emily still thought he was human, we never got along. Because some things have happened between us that neither of us was willing to address. So we both chose to avoid each other. " I warned you last time to never spill anything on Emily again! Why do you keep being such an Asshole!? " " It wasn't like I did it on purpose. She's such a woos sometimes " " It happened three times now" I held up three fingers to his face, I was almost urged to poke his eyes out as retaliation " If it happens a fourth time, I'll send a wooden cross through your heart. Got it? And we both know I have that sitting prettily under my pillow " Carter winces slightly at my threat but doesn't give a response. I walk passed him towards the cafeteria, knowing full well that he got the message. Carter did know I had a Cross under my bed, it wasn't exactly meant for him but I wouldn't mind using it to show him his place. It might not kill him but it will sure as hell leave a scar! This was my way of preparing myself. I didn't trust my stepfather and I didn't trust my stepbrother also. He looks at me weirdly. Ever since the first night, Mom had introduced us over dinner, I noticed how Silas watched me. What could he possibly be thinking in that big brain of his? Maybe he was contemplating how just how sweet my blood would taste, or how soft my neck would be when he sank his fangs into it Yeah, I didn't trust Silas. But it's only one year. I'll graduate high school in a year and I will be old enough to look after myself. Then I'm getting the hell out of here
