"Wait wait..your my father's sister?" She nodded slowly with her eyes closed. "S-so doesn't that mean that your my.." "Aunt? Yes" she said with a smile forming. My mouth dropped as well as Madison's but her face was more shocked then mines. I hadn't noticed that I was crying until I felt tears run down my face. All the family members I had have disrespected and tried to kill me and this is the only one that actually smiled at me.
I started to wipe my tears away until she grabbed my hands and wiped them for me then hugged me. "Shh it's okay sweetie." I sobbed in her shoulder while gripping her tight. I felt another pair of arms wrap around me from behind and a head rest on my shoulder. Madison and my aunt Jane were giving me a bear hug.
The tears started falling harder than before and my sobbing began to worsen. "It's okay honey, I can only imagine what you've been through but it's all over now." I sniffed and grinned as our hug unraveled. "Feeling better?" She asked smiling. I nodded wiping the rest of my tears while smiling. "Wow, never really knew I would have a moment like this." I laughed. "I bet but I hear that you wanted to know more about being a vampire?" I nodded then thought to myself. "Hey um auntie Jane?" "Yes?" "Since your my aunt and everything, would it be okay if you tell me about my father?" She thought about it for a minute until she decided "What are family for? Of course i'll help you honey." She smiled.
..................................................................
We had a little conversation about my past and after a little family moment of snuggling and crying we got straight to business. We went back into the cylinder shaped giant library in her house where she would explain my history and my parents.
"So auntie, lets get started." I sat down on the couch in the corner of the room. "Well" She said standing in front of a bookcase about vampires and searched through them as if she were looking for a certain book. "Ah, here it is." She picked out a book that had dust on it and worn out pages with symbols all over it. "What do those symbols mean?" I asked out of curiosity. "They are five vampire symbols, they are very rare and that's what makes the book ancient." Madison explained sitting on my left side while Jane sat on my right. "How do you know so much about this?" I asked Madison. "Jane taught me everything I know." She smiled at her and gave her a kiss.
I wish that I could have something like that again, with that my mind slipped to Tristey again. I wonder how she is right now. "Speaking of which, how do you two know each other anyway?" Jane asked us. We both looked at each other and blushed hard. "Well you see um.." I hesitated then Madison started to speak. "Before me and you met...you remember when I told you that I use to be human and a one night stand caused me to be like this?" Madison asked Jane. She nodded and thought to herself then reality smacked her in the face as her eyes became wide. "YOU FUCKED MY NIECE?!" She yelled with her eyes turning red.
Madison flinched and held her hands up in surrender and tried to explain herself. "Baby, sweetie, honey you do realize that I didn't know you two were related right? And this was before I even knew you." She explained. By then she started to calm down when she thought about it and agreed before she sat back down and went back to the book. She must really be bipolar.
She blew the dust off the book and opened it and went straight to the page that she wanted. "Here is the chapter about your father." "He's in books?" I asked. "Yes, your father was a very important man back then. He was the strongest of us all, did you know that your father was five thousand years old?" I was stunned by this, was my dad really that old? I guess so.
"Wow, so how long will I live?" "As long as you choose, just stay alive." "What do you mean?" "There are vampire hunters in this world honey, in fact..that's the reason for what I said earlier when I said I was surprised you were still alive." I thought to myself for a minute before asking "Auntie Jane" "Yes?" "If you knew about me...how come you didn't come to see if I was still alive? Her face became pitiful from the thought of what they could've been doing or treating me and it was bad.
"I'm a vampire sweetie, I can't trespass onto their side. When I heard that my brother was slaughtered running with Isabelle I lost it, but then when I heard years after that there was a child mixed with werewolf and vampire then I immediately knew that it was from Matthew and Isabelle. I got to say Skyla..I waited fourteen years to meet you, I just knew that you would find a way to get here alive."
I was lost in my thoughts about all this but I just had to know more. "How did they meet? I mean..if werewolves and vampires hate each other, how could they have fallen in love if they were suppose to hate each other?" I asked.
She flipped through a couple pages and landed on a page with the pictures of both my parents on the cover labeled 'Opposites Attract'. "You see Skyla, your father believed that werewolves and vampires could come together and live in harmony." "He did?" I interrupted. "Yes" She gave a slight laugh and started again. "One of the reasons why certain people despised him. He was such a peaceful man and kind, but your mother...was a little feisty one indeed." I giggled a little..maybe that's where I get my feistyness from. "Yes well, your parents met when your mother was quite young, I would say her teen years. Even though you father was up age he still was childish at the time as well..."
*Flashback*
"Matthew, did you finish with the training that father instructed you to do?" Jane asked.
"...."
"Matthew!" Jane yelled snapping her fingers in her brothers face. "Are you even listening to me?" She asked him.
"Huh?" Matthew asked coming out of his daydream. Jane shakes her head and says
"Honestly brother, you must like being yelled at since you never follow directions." She said crossing her arms.
"My dear sister...do you ever wonder what it's like on the other side of the ..." He was interrupted with a slap across his face.
"Don't you ever talk about it, think about it or even dream about it! That's asking for a death wish big brother." He rubbed his cheek and walked upstairs to his room.
He went to the personal bathroom in his room and looked in the mirror leaning on the sink sighing. "There's got to be more than this.."
He thinks to himself and runs towards his window. "Hey sis I'm going for a walk!" "Okay just don't be wondering in the woods!" He rolled his eyes and hopped out his window and ran towards the woods.
.....................................................
He walked further into the woods kicking rocks not paying attention to where he was going. "Ugh! I don't see the big problem with walking in the woods, they over react. I'm the older brother so why am I treated like a kid?"
A growl caught his attention, his eyes shot up to a medium sized black and white wolf showing its teeth. He seemed shocked but soon become amazed "Wow! Nice" He said smiling and walked up to the the wolf. The wolf stepped back and snapped at him getting more angry. "Whoa whoa there, I just want to pet you that's all." He said smiling. The wolf cocked its head to the side and stood straight up and bones started cracking. The four legged wolf soon stood on two legs with their arms crossed and a glare on their face. His eyes traveled up and down and naked girl standing in front of him, she seemed to not be showing any shame or embarrassment that she was standing out in the open in the nude.
"Like what you see?" She asked him still glaring. A blush appeared on his face as he hurried and turned his face. "You talk to yourself a lot don't you?" She asked still standing in her same position. "W-well uh I was just thinking out loud." He stuttered still looking the other direction. 'Whatever, why are you so close to the border line?" She asked arching one eyebrow. "I was going to ask you the same thing." He said turning his head back towards her until he blushed again and hurried to face the other way.
"You know it's rude to not look at someone while talking to them." She said. "Um...excuse me for asking.." He said while slowly turning to face her "But...how old are you?" He asked trying not to look down. "Why should it matter to a vampire?" He seemed quite offended by the remark. "I don't like being called just a 'vampire'." He said crossing his arms. "Well what are you then? Since you don't like being called a 'vampire'." "I believe I am more than just a vampire, I am a 'person'." She seemed surprised by this statement as curiosity swept over her conscience mind. "What's your name?" She asked. "Matthew, and you?" "Isabelle". They stepped up to each other and stood on the opposite sides of the border line. He reached out his hand awaiting for hers to meet his. She seemed skeptical but slowly reached her hand out and shook his.
*End Of Flashback*
"Wow so you were basically the boss huh?" I asked. "Haha well I sure acted older than your father." I smiled at the thought of how childish he was back then. I wish I could've met him along with my mother. She could've taught me so much..."Skyla?" Madison asked. "Are you okay?" I hadn't noticed that I was crying at the time thinking of my parents again. I wiped my tears and started laughing "Yeah I'm fine, just thinking." They both looked at each other and back at me.
Jane started rubbing my shoulder. "It's alright honey, I understand." I wiped the rest of my tears smiling at them. "So...what happened next?" I asked. " Well...as the days went by they visited each other at the border line twice a day and became closer each time." Jane said flipping the page. "How does this book know so much about my parents?" I asked. "Oh, well you see this book..is your fathers journal, he wrote his life basically in here.
We had it made into a book so that it would'nt get messed up." She explained. "Oh okay I see." I thought to myself. "Anyway, sooner or later they fell in love with each other, but your father had a old lover." My eyes grew wide "My father was a cheater?!" she quickly corrected me "No no honey I said OLD lover, mean they broke up awhile back." I sighed in relieve. "So, who was his lover?" I asked out of curiosity. "I believe her name was Tristina Vincent." "Tristina?" "Yes, In fact..she's the reason your parents were caught in the first place. Do you want to see a picture?" I nodded.
She flipped through a couple of pages and as she started to flip one more page until there was a knock at the door. She closed the book and got up along with Madison to answer the door. I decided to get up as well and peek my head around the corner to see who it was.
It was a girl with black hair at the door with her arms crossed. A warm sensation over came me pulling me towards the girl until it dawned on me..it's my mate. I hurried up to them with a smile on my face. "Tri.." I was interrupted. "Well hello there Tristina."
