Secrets

Chapter 1

"I guess I should say it because no one else will." I whisper to my best friend Sam, who stays where she is, but tries to smother her giggle behind her history book. I stand up, "Um, excuse me but what is a 'sub'?" I ask politely and innocently.

"Oh, pardon me, I didn't know we had any 2nd years with us." He pauses, "A sub is a werewolf how can be enslaved by Vampires, by biting them without drinking." He pauses, so I take my chance.

"Can you un-enslave them?" I ask. My question is met by silence. You could hear a pin drop.

"I'm sure you won't come to this situation, but no, you can't. The only way to free them is for them to die.

"Are you saying not all weres are subs?" Asks another person.

"Yes, not all are sub but it is very common." He goes on and I don't speak up for the rest of class, until I hear my name- someone is gossiping about it. Again. I walk up to them, two boys,both dhampir from the look of it. "Hey y'all," I say, my accent coming out a little, "I just love the fact that you think that my family name is hot and all, but the way you talk makes you seem like you want to meet the king,ebut do you really?" I give them a tiny shrug and turn around to where Sam was waiting. Sam was trying to not laugh at the boys, and failing, to congratulate me for being an ass to the boys who look ashen. I tell her I have to go, she gives me a nasty look but still lets me go.

The king around here is my father, I'm not completely sure of why, but it has to do with the fact that my brother, Jacob, and I were born, twins. Vampires aren't supposed to be born, much less be able to have two born at the same time. It also has to do with our wealth, but most Vampires are wealthy. I head out of the school, thanking that we only live two miles from the school. I slip off my shoes off and run, arriving about half a minute alter. Vampires, like myself, can run extremely fast and for a long time. I still live at school though, as it is a part of the school contract. The maid, Maya lets me in and takes my jacket, just as my throat starts to close and my stomach rumbles. I walk into the living room to find my mother.

"Mother? I wanted to ask you something."

"Oh? What is it my dear" Mothers light blue eyes flare up instantly.

"Um well, When is the hunger supposed to hit, like how often?" I ask, hoping the intensity of her eyes is left over from her drink.

"Ah, my child, it comes when it thinks you need it." She winks at me, almost like she has another meaning. I shrug and go find my brother. Jacob lives in the guest house, or pool house, so he gets to pretty much do whatever he wants.

Jacob and I are the only dark haired Vampires, or even dhampirs ever. I thought that that was bad from the time I was 10 until recently, realizing that it is better to look and act different, it makes us unique. His eyes are dark green, and mine are light blue. I also might be the only clumsy Vampire. In history. I knock on the door and see Jacob opening the door, looking like her just woke up. Point one for me, zero for him! Also, we don't live in the same house ever, because my parents figured out when we were little that when you have 2 young Vampires they can get in some pretty major fights, and no one wants to get caught in one of those fights. Young Vampires and some dhampirs have more power than really strong older Vamps, hence why they are banned, but we are a special case it seems. My Aunt lets me stay at home until I started going to this school. I smile at Jay, My silly nickname for him, the one he hates.

"Hey." I say as he lets me in. Most people think that we get in so many fights because we aren't close, which is false, we are really close. "Can we talk?" I ask. he nods as we head to the kitchen, He runs his hand through his hair before rubbing the sleep out of his eyes, trying to wake up. I start loading the dishwasher. Yes, I clean my brothers house, for money. My parents don't give me allowance. so I have to go with him paying me.
