                          The Story Of Gabriels Geralds

   My name is Gabriela Geralds and my family is at war with the Rogers family. We are forbidden to talk to them or to show them mercy. We have murdered so many and yet they have killed many of us, too. I hate this pointless fighting. There is no reason for fighting a war our ancestors started. We do not even know why the war started only that we must win it. It's hopeless trying to tell them other wise. They say that if I ask why we fight one more time they'll call me a traitor and kill me like they'd kill a Rogers, slowly and painfully. I am good friends with the Roger's daughter ,Sara, though and if they found out, they'd kill me. Sara and I are meeting tomorrow. Sara has a brother who is 18 his name is Sean. Sara's 12 and I'm 16. Sara says Sean likes the war but he might be lieing like me and her are but she said she doesn't understand boys' minds and couldn't say. Mom says that she thinks they're vampires. That would be cool, I've been to scared to ask Sara. I don't want to offend her if she isn't. She's my only friend. The next day, when we met, we met at the corner store like always. We talked about everything that was going on. We had fun but Sara looked worried and I finally asked, "Sara, you're my best friend, what's wrong?" "Nothing, just thinking of something." she replied. "Anything you'd like to talk about?" I asked. "No, I just need to think." Then, from the shadows a voice said,"Are you guys friends or having a secret fight behind our parents' backs?" Sara turned around and turned pale, well, paler than usual. For some reason her whole family is strangely pale. "Sean." she whispered. "That's Sean?" I asked. 'He's cute.' I thought to myself. "Yes, that's Sean." Sara replied, obviously frightened. I turned to my friend, "Are you okay? You don't look so good." I said worriedly. "I take it you are freinds, right?" Sean asked smiling. "Yes, we're friends and if you're going to kill us or have us killed for it, would you hurry up already?" I snapped. "What do you think of this war we are all caught up in?" he asked. "We despise it and we want to end it, we're friends forced to hide because we'll be killed if we don't. This is a war of people who are long dead and what ever caused it is surely ancient history by now." Then he smiled and said, "It is not ancient history. But I was starting to think I was crazy for feeling that this war is pointless." "You feel the same?" I asked shocked. "Yes. I despise all violence. I only pretend to enjoy it to make my parents happy." he replied. Then we all sat together and started talking. After a while Sara just sat and stared at me and Sean talking and she said, "You know what? You two look really cute together. Almost like you belong together and like you are meant for only each other. You two get along so well and you have the same ideas and beliefs. I think you two should go out." I stared at her then blushed and looked at Sean. He looked me in the eyes and said, "I agree, but not until she knows the whole truth about us." At first all my brain registered was me needing to know the whole truth about them. What did that mean? Then it hit me. He said he agreed that we should go out! Where did that come from? No one ever wanted to go out with me before! I looked at Sara and asked, "Know what whole truth about you? I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything and I'll still be here for you, no matter what. That's what friends are for. Are you in some sort of trouble? Do you need help?" Sara looked at me for a few minutes then she said, "I'm not a hundred percent sure yet if she's ready for it, Sean. She's tough and I trust her but it's still so much to take in." "She is the one chance we have at ending this war. This will also prove if we can really trust her," but Sara was not convinced,"Look, you know how I have trouble trusting anyone? Well, I just met her and I already feel like I could trust her with my life, let alone our secret." That got Sara's attention but she was still not sure. "Sara, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. Just know I'm always here if you need me and want to talk. No matter what it is." I said. She looked at me and tears built up in her eyes, "I have to go. You can tell her Sean. You're good at saying those kinds of things." And she turned and fled down the street towards her house. I looked at Sean and asked if she was going to be alright. "Yeah, she'll be fine. She just hates trusting because she's afraid she'll mess up everyone's lives." he responded. "Is is that bad?" I asked. "No, but it might scare you away from her." he said watching her face intently. I looked him in the eyes and replied, "No matter what it is, nothing will scare me away from my friend." "I thought you'd say that," Sean said with a smile, "Come. Let's go some place more private and I'll tell you." He brought me to what appeared to be an abandoned factory. "Wow. You were serious about that privacy stuff, huh?" I asked jokingly. "Yes, the things I am going to tell you are for no one's ears except yours. You are the first outsider to be told this so don't go around telling anyone what I'm going to tell you." he replied seriously. "I won't tell anyone. Do you think I want my parents to kill me? Besides, you and Sara are my closest friends, I would not risk losing you guys for the world." I said. "Good. Now listen close. Me, Sara and my parents, Hell, my whole family are not normal. We're not even human." he stopped and looked at me for a little bit and I couldn't stop myself, I had to ask, "Are you vampires?" He stared at me and I felt foolish at once."I'm sorry that was stupid. I just met you and I'm being stupid already." I said looking at the floor in shame. He put a hand under my chin and gently but firmly lifted my face to look into my eyes. "We are vampires, Gabriela. If you want to scream and run away you can. I won't stop you. But you can't tell anyone." he said. I got mad and smacked his hand away, "I told you I would not be scared away from my friend and you and Sara are my friends and I refuse to run away like a frightened child!" He looked at me for what seems like years before he smiled and bent his head down to mine and kissed my cheek. It was the first time I've ever been kissed in anyway, not even my mom kissed me! I thought I was dreaming when he asked, "Gabriela, will you go out with me?" I was so shocked but I looked straight into his eyes and said loud and clear, "You bet." Then he bent down and kissed me on the lips and pulled me into a hug and as I hugged back he whispered into my ear, "Do you want to join me and Sara? Do you want to be a vampire, too? We can run away and start a life together, just the three of us. There will be no more war and maybe our leaving will show our family we were against it and they'll stop their fighting." " I pulled back and looked into his face. Could this dream be true? Will I wake up in the morning to the breakfast bell and my father's bellow for training to begin earlier than usual? But I pushed those thoughts away and believed that if it was a dream, I'd make it the best one ever. "You can count me in. I'll follow you any where." I said. After I said it I realized how corny that sounded but he did not care. He smiled and kissed me again and again. When he hugged me again he buried his face in my neck and as I hugged back I felt his fangs pierce into my skin but I stayed strong and relished in the feeling of approaching freedom. That was around the time I passed out. "I told you we should have gone through the process of transforming more thoroughly with them! I knew they'd try it sooner than we'd know. And now look! He could have done permanent damage to her! He's lucky she's strong. She's a rare one, they don't come this strong too often any more." said an unfamiiar female voice. "Shh... She's awake now." said another female voice that was distinctly familiar but I can't place it for some reason. What had happened? Then I remembered a strong feeling of love and happiness and a name that had caused those feelings: Sean. "Sean?" I called for him weakly. I opened my eyes and looked around my eyes adjusting to the dim light. There was a familiar girl beside me and a man and woman who didn't look at all familiar behind her. They were watching me intently and I grow increasingly uneasy under their gaze and I feel cloths wrapped around my neck. But none of that mattered right now. "Where's Sean?" I asked weakly. "He's crying, which is unusual, in his room. He nearly killed you and for some reason nearly killing you has greatly disturbed him. He says not to disturb him unless you're awake or dead. He says if you're dead he shall die, too. Who are you?" the unfamiliar woman asked. I thought about it long and hard, but in the end my response was, "I don't know. All I remember is feeling happy and in love and being with Sean some where. Then being enveloped in blackness and that's it." They stared at me and the familiar girl's face looked horrified, for though I did not know, she was Sara and her nightmare had just come true."I'm sorry," I said," But may I see Sean? I just need to see him. I don't know why, but I do." The girl nodded and left to get him and the man and woman left the room. When the door opened again it was Sean and he smiled when he saw me. I smiled and said ,"Sean I'm so happy to see you," but then I started to frown," I don't know anyone else here although the girl looks familiar. I don't know who I am either. All I remember is being happy and in love with you then being enveloped in darkness. I'm so scared. What has happened?" He looked at me and slowly his smile disappeared. "I'm happy to see you, too," he said, "You don't remember Sara or yourself?" I shook my head, who was this Sara? The familiar girl? "You don't remember anything I told you?" he asked. Again I shook my head and he looked so miserable that I wanted to remember just to make him smile again. He came over to me and gave me a hug and I remembered something, "You're a vampire and you're whole family is and I'm the only outsider who knows." Sean pulled back and looked at me. "What? You remember that? You said you didn't. Is your memory coming back?" he asked. "Yes, I remember it now. For some reason when you hugged me, out of no where I remembered." I replied. " That's wonderful!" he said and he hugged me again and I smiled and was laughing until his hug brought back more memories, memories I tried to forget before I even met him. Memories of before I even knew Sara. Bad memories where I was training to murder babies when I was barely one myself. Memories where I was kidnapped and tortured by his parents and forced to watch my baby brother be murdered in front of me. I wanted to cry, all the bad memories kept flooding in and I tryed to force them away but they wouldn't leave me alone. The memories seemed to take over my mind and I started to relive the terrible memories. The pain was raw and unmerciful as it tore at my heart, body, and soul. The memories wanted to kill me for trying to force them away. But they couldn't. It was hard but I managed to find the strength to block out the pain. "Is something wrong?" Sean asked. He sounded so worried. I wasn't used to someone worrying about me, it was comforting. "No," I said smiling, forcing the pain away, "Not any more." He smiled and hugged me again. I could never be able to tell him, Hell, I could never tell ANYONE of my pain and the monster I'd been in the past.
