Chapter 4 Four

I shifted uncomfortably in my seat as Chloe continued to stare at me.

"What is up with you?" Chloe asked interrupting my thoughts.

I did not know if I should keep everything that happened to myself. Would I get in trouble for telling her?

So many conflicted thoughts were going through my head at that moment.

We were on break, actually, I wouldn't call it a break, we just didn't have anything doing so we just sat down lazily and discussed stuff, I was not really talking now because I was still trying to put pieces together.

My thoughts were interrupted again when she put her hand on my lap.

"You have been acting kind of weird since you came back from your Master's room, what happened?"

I tried, I really tried not to say anything but I could not keep it to myself no matter how hard I tried to.

Within a minute, I found myself pouring out everything to Chloe and I wasn't sure of how I felt when she did not look surprised, not even close, her face was neutral.

This is exactly what happened.....

**

After I closed the door behind us, I continued being rude. To me, he was just another guy that liked intimidating people like me. And mind you, he was trying to intimidate me and he kept staring at me in a weird way, looking down at the places he shouldn't be staring at.

I was aware that literally everything about me seemed more mature than my age. Well, that had always been a thought that lingered at the back of my head, people around me tried to make it unnoticeable but now I was beginning to believe it because everyone treated me like I was more than fifteen which seemed like it was true. I had a feeling that dad was hiding something from me but I usually let it slide.

Now, it was becoming more of an issue for me. I hated the look on people's faces when I told them my age, even Chloe seemed surprised, the only person that didn't seem really surprised was the lady from earlier, whose name I had forgotten to ask for. My head was just too messed up at that moment to even think of asking for her name. At that moment, I just wanted to cry and blame my dad for everything.

Back to my experience with Cole. I kept up with my rude attitude. He did not seem to mind my behavior anyway and I was really enjoying the conversation until I said something that I can not quite figure out, I said too many things and I was not even looking up at him, if I was, I would have figured out what I said hours ago. The only thing I know is that his eye color had completely changed to a red color and that red was slowly turning black... At least I could grasp that much. And now, the memory of his weird eye colors had been imprinted in the back of my head and it would take a million years for me to forget.

He ordered me to leave but I was being stubborn, not until the black started dominating the red. He told me to leave once more, his voice huskier than normal. He sounded feral. My body let me down by quivering and I left the room in a hurry. Actually, I ran because I was surprisingly scared for my dear life. I heard a thud coming from his room but decided to ignore it and ran straight down till I found Chloe. I kept trying to fathom what just happened but I could not wrap my head around it. He looked like he was going to strangle me if I had spent five more seconds in there.

I calmed down a bit after sitting but trust me, my body did not stop shaking.

~~~

"Is that all?" She asked

I nodded.

"What is he?" I asked in a whisper.

She smiled.

Why was she smiling? The situation was not a pleasant one so her smile was really irking me but I just gave her a look and did not say anything.

"No one ever told you" She said.

Yeah, because I just got here.

I didn't know if that was a statement or a question so I just continued to stare at her.

She sighed.

"His eyes nearly turned black," She said, more like talking to herself. "And you can't figure out what you said to make him that angry?"

I ignored her question and asked again, hoping for a decent reply.

"What is he?" I asked, louder than before.

Don't blame me for being so impatient, I only wanted answers to everything, and I wanted them immediately.

"He is-" She stopped,and thought for a while and murmured "you'll know sooner or later anyways,"

I tilted my head sideways a little bit and tapped my right foot on the floor impatiently, waiting for a reply.

She exhaled a deep breath.

"He's a vampire," She said.

Finally! Took her five years to spit it out.

Wait a minute, did she just say Vampire?

There was no fucking way these people expected me to believe that. Did I look like a fool to them?

This is was the second time I was hearing this, this had to be a joke.

I kept staring at her, waiting for her to laugh in my face and tell me that she was just joking. But she just sat there, studying my reaction.

Are you serious?" I asked, confirming what I just heard.

She nodded.

Okay, so it seemed like this was actually true. She still wasn't laughing. Help!

"How in the world do vampires exist?" I asked, still in shock.

Chloe shrugged. Okay, maybe my question was a no brainer but don't blame me, okay?

"It's just like questioning the existence of humans. They have been existing for as long as several years back. Even before your ancestors were born".

At least she replied... But that just left me more confused.

Really?" I asked, unsure of what to say.

She nodded.

I bit my lips while in deep thoughts. I had questions, so many many questions that needed answers.

"I'm wondering, how many more vampires exist?"

"Almost the same with the population of humans, they just have their own domain".

"Wow! Are you one too?"

"Uh- No, I'm not."

"Do vampires really have any supernatural abilities?"

"Depends"

"Do-"

"-Brittany, save other questions for later, Master Cole's eyes turning black doesn't mean something good". She interrupted me.

Well, looks like she had gotten sick of my questions.

"Why did you say so?" I questioned but this time, my question was related to what she said.

"Because he's- She hesitated.

I encouraged her to go on. Was I ready to hear what she was so hesitant to say? No. Did I want to know? Yes.

"He's a pureblood".

Okay, now I was just confused and my confusion was definitely evident on my face. What does that even mean?

"What-"

"I'll explain later. I need to inform someone before things get out of hand". She cut me short and practically rushed up the flight of stairs.

It seemed like his eyes changing into black was a terrible thing. Chloe looked terrified and that just made me more curious.

What did him being a pureblood signify?

I just kept pondering on what she told me. The whole vampire thing was amusing and I was not getting enough answers. The more I thought about it, the more frustrated I got.

I needed answers!!
