Fire and Ice [COMPLETED]

Chapter 1

I opened my eyes to another seemingly odd day in an odd town. I turned to the side the alarm clock on my side desk was at 8:45 am. I was late for school. I was a foster kid and am constantly reminded of that there, despite my friends that always had my back. I was adopted by a very nice lady and a grumpy man, I'm not sure he liked me. The Becker family was nice to me basically just Mrs Becker, I've been part of the family since i was just a year and 6 months. I was the only child, so i kinda enjoyed all their love and care.

I've traveled nine countries since i was adopted, i can speak and understand espanyol fluently. And el a par de François, i understand German and Swedish. I wasn't any bit smart in school in fact i was very dull, not too dull but you know not the kind to ace classes, but i found my way around things. I didn't just like learning. I'm seventeen and will soon be out of school so i barely cared about it now, i laid on the bed with my facing the ceiling i decided to bunk school under the pretence that I'm a bit under the weather. While Mom and dad were away i watcher TV, ate anything i felt like eating and had a one man party, it was fun at first but as i slowly started running out of things to do, i became bored of the house and regretted the decision. i grabbed my jacket and went for a walk in the beautiful yet awkward town if Rosewood, i saw beautiful ladies, and oh i wish they all could be mine i thought to myself. as the sun was falling the streets started being raided with vampires, they aren't as bad looking as some movies described, they actually looked normal but the only difference that could be spotted a mile away was the change in their eye colors according to their mood. I was told that my family has a long feud with the vampire clan and maybe I'll be the one to extinguish their bloodline forever. My dad was gruesomely killed by a vampire, while his father was the greatest vampire hunter in all of the towns history, despite knowing all these i think i fell in love with one, she had black hair and her eyes were always red and on few occasions, green. I don't see her a lot but when i do, i make sure to wave she never waves back though. I saw her and she was stunning. she was under a hood and joggers with black leather gloves, u couldn't see her face but i knew it was her. Our love story or rather my live story started back when i was just six, we were at the annual fair, Mrs Becker and I. I was having so much fun, i bumped into a man, he his body was very cold, i couldn't even feel his life force it was like he was dead yet alive. Everyone has a life force and it can be felt, by the persons presence that's what we know when we are being followed. Mrs Becker pulled me close to her, "stay close to me don't let go and don't do anything silly" she said. "But mom i still want to play, the sun is still out" i whined, she didn't pay attention to me, it made me angry but she promised me muffins afterwards so i kind of let it go. U was about entering the car when i saw her, black hair and the same red eyes, she was always angry even from childhood, her beauty immediately caught my attention, i was about to wave when mom yelled "Claude get in the car".
I was like a statue, a dumb statue staring at her and she stared back, it was nice till i waved and she rolled her eyeballs and turned her gaze, the kook on her face was quite discouraging. The little bright smile on my face faded with pain, "ouch" i said, she better start getting used to this face cause this is the face of her soon future husband. In a brief second of thought she was gone, i turned round and round to see but she was gone. I did underestimate the speed of a vampire. U had a lot of questions about them and probably they night never be answered.
I got home late mom was watching the news, something about killings around the mountain side and Dad was at the back, could only hear him grunting, i strolled into the kitchen for a cup of water, i could see dad clearly now he was sharpening stakes, he had a gun with oddly coloured bullets littered all over. "Um mm.. Pops isn't that illegal??" I asked, "don't be a whimp, this is war they killed one of our own" he said getting furious. "don't bother him he just hates those monsters, he'll calm down in a fee days" mom said going up the stairs. I burst into laughter, "you! Want to kill them?!" i asked to re-affirm what i had just heard, after what i witnessed from her i thought it was impossible, "yeah...so?" He asked coming into the house, i walked away and said they are way faster than you, they'll kill you instead" I said going up the stairs, "Then so be it, if we die we die as soldiers" He said, i turned to him and said, putting my hands in his shoulder " you're are a military veteran, running one of the most successful businesses in Europe living at the edge of town in a moderate duplex on the hill side of Rosewoods, and still want to belittle yourself by being concerned with trivial matters, come on dad this isn't for men of your caliber" i said to him. He laughed hard and loud and said to me, "one day when you control and own all this power and wealth you'll just want a simple less complex life like this" he said. "i don't want this i am a footballer" i yelled on climbing the stairs. "You'll have to retire someday it will be waiting for you"he replied, "till then"i said.

At night they had the same old argument, but this night i seem to have heard a bit more than i should have. I was coming out of the library, when i heard mom yelling at Dad, "John you're being selfish and inconsiderate, what kind of father are you?" "Well, lady if you have forgotten i am not his father, i am not being inconsiderate i am being honest and frank he deserves to know" "He isn't like the rest of us why can't he know that?, He's been in the dark and confused all these years, i am tired of lying him, remember his fifteenth birthday?" Mom gasped " we promised never to speak of that again, why would you bring that up" she said raising her voice. "Well if you continue yelling like this, i won't be the one explaining to him, you would!" He said "John u care about him, and that cant change he reminds me of our..." She said getting emotional, i could hear the change in her voice, "sorry, i am really sorry forget all this let's just go to bed i have a lot of work in the morning" dad said as the lights went off in the room.
The walk to my room seemed longer than usual, i had a lot served on my mind, more questions than ever and the answers seem to be further away from me than ever. who am I? What am I? And how am i important to the war, that's if there's any war?i asked opening the door of my room, a clash of thunder and the clattering sound of rain. I stared at the ceiling with no emotions, i thought sleep might never come, the wolves howled loudly and i went to see my good old friends, they've been around me a lot more often than i can remember, but i think they've been around more frequent after my fifteenth birthday. They understood and obeyed me, and I understood them too. The last time i met them on the ground was when my real dad was killed, i was just a year old, they lurked in the dark night out of the woods, white, brown, black their colours varied but each wolf was distinct from the other, magnificent creatures ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall, they didn't look like they wanted to harm me. They surrounded me and howled as loud as they can, a grey wolf led me out of the circle, definitely a female wolf, I turned back to see dad but couldn't, a bright light shone and that was all. She carried me on her back and led me to the pack. i was left with the cubs to play, some were playing pretend fight while others slept, this white little cub, a beautiful damsel, her white fur shone in the dark like the light of the moon. i walked staggered to her and sat beside her, i felt her fur, very soft she opened her eyes to see, she saw me and stood to her feet growling seeing me unmoved by her action she returned to her initial sleeping position and i continued touching her fur. A dead wolf bigger than the others was brought in by the same wolf pack that surrounded Dad, where was my father? I heard distant voices, but whenever i looked it was just the wolves. i slept beside her and by the time i was up, i was in the foster home.
Lost in thoughts, I eventually fell asleep.
