these evil vampires heading this way; what kind of danger can we expect?”
“ We really aren’t sure, but it won’t be good. They’ve already killed in the New York area and have begun their descent to the New England area. We believe that they have plans to overtake the governing body, the Renata. This governing body is also made up of long lost ancestors of the Cerberus clan.
“ Okay, so what do we do? How can I help?”
Ebony and I both look at one another; I don’t even need Alexander here to sense her emotions and know exactly what she is thinking. Neither of us wants the ones we love to face any harm.
“ You can’t do anything; you don’t have any powers that can help in the fight against them. Nate and you should stay together and protect each other. My family will handle this with the help of Ebony’s family.” Raw emotion coming through in my plea, I beg them both to be safe and far away from this fight.
“ I’ll talk to my trainers and try to see if The Great Ones have any information regarding the Cerberus.”
“ That will be great, thank you Matt.” I can tell Nathanial has a new found sense of relief as he rests back in his seat, pulling his right ankle over his left knee.
“ Dude you don’t know how glad I am that I will not be stuck alone in this crazy secret anymore,” Nathanial says with enthusiasm. “Even if you’re not exactly mortal like me.”
We chuckle and Matt adds, “I am until I die…and who is mortal once they die anyways?”
I continue to explain a little vampire history to Matt in condensed form; he will learn more as time goes by, plus Nathanial can fill in the blanks. Nathanial will soon be a vampire pro; he has borrowed Elijah’s journals that he keeps as a sort of history book for reference. Finally finishing off with the serious stuff, we can relax a little before going home for the night. School will be interesting tomorrow with all the new faces we have met. I still can’t believe what a huge success our New Year’s party was, although I still wonder where Danika took off to that night and if anything happened.
Here and now though, I’m really beginning to feel such comfort. I finally feel like I belong; our close friends all have some special secret. I have to wonder is this just a coincidence, or is there some reason bigger than any of us could imagine? For now we will just need to handle the Cerberus problem, and then maybe we can figure out why we have all come together.
Matt looks at Ebony, holds her hand, looks deeply into her eyes and asks, “Are you feeling a little better, more comfortable now that you know we all have secrets?”
“ I do…I feel a great sense of relief, and to know that you and your family are involved with witches is comforting.” She lets a small smile slip out.
“ We really should head home–it’s getting late,” I suggest.
“ Sophia’s right; vacation is over and back to jail…ah, I mean school…we go. We’ll catch up with you at school,” Nathanial rises, stretching out his hand to shake Matt’s.
“ Yeah, of course. See you bright and early,” Matt shakes his hand and they do their silly little half man hug, patting one another on the shoulder.
I begin taking the trays of drinks back to the kitchen for Ebony and gently place the glasses in the sink, wipe the tray down and put it away. I say my goodbyes, and whisper to Ebony, “Call me in a bit.”
She nods in agreement.
Chapter 7
Protecting
School starts back in with a bang, Alexander and Matilda drop me off at Nathanial’s house and we drive to school in his new car. It seems like the entire student body stops and stares as we pull up. The car my ‘parents’ gave Nathanial was pretty nice, and it was a known fact his family could not have bought him the car.
“ Dude! Win the lottery over Christmas? Nice car!” Ben, Nathanial’s friend from football, begins scoping the car. He is always ready to tease us, or at least tease
