《The Nerd that turned out to be Vampire-ish [Wattys2015]》CHAPTER 26: Uncovering my dark past.
Advertisement
I was still in shock even though a few minutes had past, when I last heard that mind-numbing truth about my identity. And for some reason, I believed what this albino person had said. He looks like someone with authority, someone who doesn't joke nor lie.
There are so many questions in my head right now, but what stood the most was, who am I?
I know for sure that my parents and my sister are humans, I can feel it, I was also sure that I am like them. Is my whole identity a lie? Who will I believe? This albino stranger, or the family that took care of me? But my guts tells me that this person standing right in front of me does tell the truth, which is something I'll start to deny.
My body's reaction to all this confusion, was to cry. So I buried my face with my hands, and wept like a baby who just got lost in a mall. Well, I am lost, mentally that is.
"Hey, hey." I felt someone rubbing my back, and by the sound of the person's voice, I could tell it was Jill.
They seriously have late reaction time. Weren't they hiding behind the trees as well? But I guess, it was a good idea to come out after I've fully grasped the situation.
"Sevyr are you sure of this?" I heard Divina's voice.
"Yes." Sevyr simply said.
"I can smell the hint of vampire blood as well. She's a half-blood." Marcus said. "I wasn't able to point it at first, well until now, I can literally smell her blood."
I heard it from Tristan before, when I kept asking him about their race, he said that age heightens their senses. Meaning, the older ones has greater sense of smell, which explains how Sevyr easily detected my flaws, and so did Marcus.
"She's still in shock. Will you guys give her a break?" Jack's voice was surprisingly strong, and it undeniably got their attention.
"Yes. Please bring her back to the house." Divina's voice grew closer, then I felt her in front of me. "I'm sorry dear. You have to be strong, okay?" Her voice was soft and calm. I simply nodded.
Jill helped me stand up and Anna was also right there by my side. She held my hand and put on a band aid to my injured finger, then she looked at me and smiled.
"You'll be fine. They'll figure things out for you." Jill said, and drew me closer to him.

I realized that my two friends are missing, Will and Tristan. I guess they were probably held at a safe distance to avoid the smell of blood. The difference between the young and the old vampires, is that the old ones knows the difference between a vampire's blood and a human's blood, whilst the young only knows that it's blood and they thirst for it.
The four of us, Anna, Jack, Jill and I, went ahead towards the yacht. Obviously, my two friends are oblivious of what just happened, for they stayed in the beach away from the ritual. When they saw us, they immediately run to our group.
"So how'd it go? What branch did you chose?" Asked Will excitedly.
"None. She's a half-blood. Now move." Jack simply said and grabbed Will, to make room for Jill and me to walk back to the yacht.
I can tell that I'm not the only one who's in shock right now. I looked at Tristan and Will's expression for a brief moment, and their faces were indescribable, I guess it was a mixture of doubt and shock. Well, I can relate, mine was probably the same when Sevyr suddenly dropped the bomb on me.
"Let'z go. The captain'z ready to zail." Anna's voice rang, in this silent yet intense moment. We all climbed on the ship, including Tristan and Will.
The whole ride was awkwardly silent, well except for the wind and the waves. I'm really thankful of Jill who kept comforting me, as he rubbed the side of my arm when I feel like crying, again. I can't help it. My life is a big question mark!
I thought being in a new place would give me a new chance to escape the dark past of my childhood. Now there's even a darker past behind it. And honestly, I think I don't have the balls to unlock it, yet.
Suddenly a lost memory crept in my line of thoughts. I sighed. I buried this scar for a very long time. Trying to forget that moment when I was a victim of attempted rape, and I was barely six years old when that happened. What's worse? Was that it was by the hands of my own cousin. I got into therapy for quite some time because of the trauma. Yes, those bad memories suddenly rushed through my head like it's teasing me.
I started weeping so hard, and it wasn't because of the truth that I just learned, or the sudden memory of my dark childhood, it's because of how unlucky I am, in general.

Why is my fate like this?
Jill hugged me tightly and whispered soothing words in my ear. "It'll be fine kid. You're stronger than this."
I paused. You are stronger than this. Those words kept repeating in my head. It felt like a ball I just threw and then bounced right back at me.
It was same words I said to Will, when he was in a fit of anger. And yes, this was the reason why I said I was like him before. I understood him, those feelings of bottled up emotions. They're like monsters inside you, hard to control, hard to tame.
Its only when you drink some fucked up medicine that would make them go away, but not permanently, only to calm it down by putting them into a deep sleep. I've suffered depression for years, and had overcome through medical treatment. That's why I hate medicine, because I was drowned by it.
I inhaled deeply honing up the courage in me. I am stronger than this!
"You're right!" I said and break loose of Jill's hug, which surprised him. Everything's not simply going to be fine, unless I do something about it. I wiped my tears and breathe so heavily.
"I'm done." I looked up, guessing that's where those three motherfucking sisters are, as they kept sewing my fate, probably planning to put more problems into my life. Well bring it on sisters! "FUCK YOU ALL! I won't let this game of yours out-win me." I shouted, as I pointed at the sky, where Olympus is.
I will find out the truth. I whispered to myself. Sulking won't get me nowhere. Plus, that rape thing was only just attempted, he wasn't able to put his ugly junior inside me. I calmed myself, with the same words I've said over and over before; it was only attempted, nothing happened.
They all laughed at my epic speech. Yeah, I bounce back to life pretty fast. This is who I am, presently, someone who's strong and won't back down. Opposite to the me before, she's long gone, buried with Godzilla in the depths of the ocean's floor.
"You sure you're okay? You're not going crazy are you?" Jill asked his eyes full of concern, yet with a hint of amusement.
"I already am." I sighed heavily. "So... I'm a vampire, which doesn't explain my phobia of blood." They laughed, even though it wasn't a joke. "No really. It's the truth. The reason why I fainted at dinner..." Tristan cut me off, like the usual.
"Duh." Tristan said with a smirk. "We've figured that out ages ago."
"Also, a normal person would just spit the wine out instead of fainting." Will said with a wink. He does have a point.
"Interesting." Jack's voice joined the conversation, while he plays with his beard. "A vampire with a fear of blood." Then he laughed.
"I guezz you were hypnotized..." Anna said, though she meant it as a joke – of some sort – but Jill took it very seriously. As well as the others who got on full silent mode, when Jill cut off Anna, and looked at me intensely.
"...to make you think you have fear of blood." Jill continued Anna's sentence. I guess cutting people off runs in the blood. Then his cobalt blue eyes stared straight into mine without even blinking. It feels like his eyes are drowning me, like he's digging some part of my memory, then I heard a click of a finger.
After that sound I felt a weird tingling inside me, an odd sensation, like I thirst for something. I licked my lips and looked at my injured finger. Holy shit! Why do I feel like licking my own blood? My head says gross, but my body says go. But in the end I didn't do it, mind over matter.
"What's happening to me?" I paused and looked at Jill like he's guilty of a massacre. "What did you do?"
He shrugged. "I woke your inner vampire. Anna's right, you were hypnotized. I don't know who did it." He paused. "I can only undo things, but I can't trace the person behind it. Sorry."
Wow. My past sure is crazy, like a puzzle with tons of lost pieces. My curiosity is boiling within me, again, I guess this is where I hone out my strength.
I touched his arm. "Thank you. And no need to apologize." I paused, looking at a new perspective. "Guess my phobia's gone. Now I can drink that wine without fainting." I joked.
"You recover pretty fast kid." Jack said and held a thumbs up, so did Anna.
"Just like our old friend Victoria Hale." Jill said, and smiled like he's reminiscing some old happy memory.
