The Girl With the Fiery Hair

Lost in the Jungle

    Scarlet sat there in shock.

"I'm a what?!" she slightly shrieked. "They hid my heritage from me?!" She stands up and growls in anger. Mr. Blackmoor places the letter down and looks up at Scarlet. "They did it to protect you, I know you are grieving and upset. Yet they knew that if you knew before you could protect yourself from those that wish to do you harm would make you more worried and unsafe compared to how you have been spending your life until this moment."

Scarlet glares and crosses her arms, "Why couldn't they have just told me, and not hid who they were as well." She falls back into her seat, "Are you a vampire or werewolf too Mr. Blackmoor?" He chuckled softly, "A vampire Scarlet. Which is why your parents trusted me with all of this information." Mr. Blackmoor paused and looked over to Scarlet. She wrinkled her nose and pouted slightly, "Then will you help point me in the right direction that my parents recommended?" 

Mr. Blackmoor laughs a hard laugh, "But of course my dear child, I would never leave my little sister's child on her own after such tragedy. Though there are a few things to warn you about..." He stands up and offers his hand out, Scarlet takes it as she stands up. "Wait, you're my uncle?" He chuckles again, "By coven standards, yes. Not biologically speaking, but don't worry we will have many extended family members to meet and spend time with." He winks at her. Scarlet blushes slightly "Thank you Mr. Blackmoor." 

"So as a hybrid, there are many benefits as well as drawbacks, just like with anything else. Your werewolf side will lead to you being able to shift, finding a mate, and then being part of a pack. Then the vampire side will give you a long life, extra charm and possibly some extra powers." Scarlet looks over questionly, "A mate? You mean like one that I'm in love with for the rest of my life kind of thing?" He smiles "Yes, the odd things that those wolves do, but don't worry vampires have something similar but not as....uh...possessive." He chuckled and walked Scarlet out of the office and to the kitchen. "Let's get you something to eat and talk over more of what to expect and how it all can work." She agreed as they continue on.

Mr. Blackmoor, also known as Darren. As Scarlet found out over the past hours, her mind was full of so much information she thought she was going to burst. "Okay Darren, I think you told me too much...So when do we head out?" He smiles, "I think tomorrow would be better, you need to be rested and packed up because you will have a bit of a drive ahead of you." She sighs and heads for her car, "Alright. Wait," she stopped walking for a moment, "how are you able to drive with me tomorrow during the day? With the sunlight being a problem and all?" Darren grinned at her, "My special power is being able to block out the sunlight from penetrating my skin, think of it as SPF one million." He winked at her and continued to the car.

"Clearly my dear, you can't be alone and unshifted going into a werewolf den. I will come pick you up at 9am sharp." Darren chuckled and walked Scarlet out the front door. She drove home and packed up her things for a few weeks stay, at the very least. Then headed to bed. Her dreams being full of excitement, anger and nervous thoughts of how the meeting would go and if she would be liked. Which made her sleep pretty restless.
