Life compelled

10~The Unknown

"I get it. I've had those types of dreams all my life. I've even experienced some crazy things lately. Heck my whole family even believes in supernatural beings who walk the earth. Believe me when I say, my family is crazy" we both laugh "and when I say it probably nothing" she reassures me

She's right it's probably nothing

Probably a bad reaction to a pizza and ice cream combo

Isabella's POV

I look for Grayson in the halls. Lucky I see him next to his locker

"Hey" I say "hey" he responds

I look down and see drawings on the notebook

"I didn't know you were an artist. What are they?" I ask and get closer to the notebook to really identify them

"The monsters from my dreams"

"Vampires and werewolves?" I say concerned

"Yeah. It's crazy but I'm pretty hooked" he says an closes his notebook. I give him a slight smile. "Hey I'll text you later" he says, kisses me on the cheek and leaves

"Problem?" I hear a husky voice behind me

I turn around. "Haven't you've done enough"

"No, actually I'm just getting started" Ethan says back. "And if u even think of trying to compel him you can't, I put him back on vervain to make sure this all works out" "then what happened last night? I compelled him and it worked" "consider it a pass"

He says stepping closer to me. "Whats your plan?" I question him

"That both of you both die" he says with a smirk. I give him a glare. "Why would you want that?"

"Because once Grayson finds all this out then you will trick him into turning my switch back on and I would rather live in a world where I can be rid of you and my brother"

The next day

Grayson's POV

I woke up from another dream. This time when the vampire was chasing me i saw it

kind of

It was a girl. With blood on her face. And these veins below her eyes

That terrified me

When I got to school I had so many questions about this and I knew the only person who really gets it and knows what's going on

I wait in the classroom and see her walking to her seat

"Olivia" I say holding my hand out to signal her to stop. She stopped and smiled "hey"

"Do you think it'll be ok for me to come over today after school. I kind of have so questions that I want answered" I told her and she nodded

And that's what happened. A few hours later I went to her house

We sit at her kitchen table

"So what are these questions about?"

"Vampires. I know you said it was probably nothing but something in the way you said it didn't make me believe you don't feel nothing"

She hangs her head low "my family has told these stories for generations" she says as she stands up and paces around the room

"They've been here since as long as we can remember. Creatures of the night. They never aged. Healed any wound. And of course killed innocent people. The scary part was no one knew what they looked like or seen one before. You couldn't trust anyone"

"Whoa. I thought all that were just myths"

"You haven't even heard the best part" she turns to me

"Sure. The regular vampires were bad. The killed and hunted but there were worse to be feared. Even the the normal vamps were scared" I sat up in my seat intrigued

"What where they scared of?"

"Well there was normal vampires, then there was the elite. The top branch. Number one in the vampire chain. They did all the things regular vamps could do but more. They were stronger, could compel other vampires, and apparently could not be killed. They were the original vampires and they are the most dangerous"

"Where they ever killed? Yeah know...wiped out"

"Well I liked to believe so"

"But what if they're not" "then that would explain your dreams" "well how do we stop it?"

She shakes her head "I don't know"

Isabella's POV

I'm walking down the street to get lunch at the Mystic Grill and I hear footsteps behind me

"Stalking me? You must really like me. What do you want?" I groaned

"Don't flatter yourself. I just came to invite to my humble abode this evening" Ethan said coming from behind me and next to my side

"And why would I do that?" I question. He steps in front of me stopping me from walking

"Because if you don't I might kill Grayson and you could have been there to save him but instead you were being a brat. And it would kill you inside know that if only you were there to save his poor puppy heart"

Before I gave in I had on last idea and hopefully it works

"You are going to stop doing this a turn you humanity back on" I said to compel him

"Sorry cupcake but you can't compel me. I'm taking vervain. Comes in handy when dealing with an original vampire. Hurts like a bitch going down but I've built an amenity. I'm always on step ahead" he said winks and walks away
