Dark Truth

by Fallon Farmer

  “I know that you know that that was Lavon. If you think you can control your anger I want you to go out with me. I’m not stupid.”

  “What did he say he wanted and why do you feel the need to speak to him after what happened? You know how I feel!” I could see how this bothered him. The irritation was clear on his face.

  “He told me that Kyrstal had something planned for me. He thought I should know. But I am not simple I know that this could be a trick that is why I want you and the other’s to come out with me.” I smiled at him,crossed the room to where he was sitting on the bed and took his face in my hands. I kissed his lips and of course he kissed me back. I pulled back and stared him strait in the eye’s. “Mica you are the only one for me. You don’t need to worry. I don’t mean to pry through your thoughts, but you are screaming your worries in your thoughts, I don’t have a choice but to hear.”

  “I believe you. Let’s get Vincent and Carter to come out with us. But one thing Raven.”

  “What?” I asked my forehead creasing at his tone of voice.

  “Promise me that after this you will not keep in contact with him!”

  “I Don’t want to keep in contact with him and I won’t. Like I said, you are the only one for me.” I stared at him. “Now let’s go.” I was ready to get this over with.

  As we got our brother’s, Angelic insisted on going out. I agreed that it would be fine. As I walked out of the door, I seen Lavon standing about Twenty feet away from the house.

  “You don’t trust me?” Lavon asked sarcastically. I just glared. He needed to know that I was not in the mood for games tonight.

  “You said that you had something to tell me. I’m out here, tell me!” I demanded.

  “Fine. She wants you out of the way. Zarious has no clue that she is having these thoughts, but she has for some stupid reason confided in me.”

  “Do you know her plans?” Mica asked.

  “I will not speak to him Raven, but no she hasn’t told me her plans yet.” Lavon spoke only to me. I could see that this got underneath Mica’s skin and was making him mad.

  “Thank you, but were done here now. You need to leave.

  “One thing. I have a truce gift for you. Please. I am sorry about the other day!” He smiled then what he brought before me in an instant changed everything. No one was able to grab me before I lunged.

  A half drained bloody body. I could not resist, I could not think. I just reacted to my thirst. I lunged and sank my fangs into the neck of it, where the blood was pouring out, falling down the side.

  As I sank my fangs into the barely breathing body the taste was so much more than that of the bought blood. It was better than anything. The thickness of it sliding down my throat, making me suck harder. I could feel the hands trying to pull me away, but I could feel the pure strength that the fresh blood strait from the body was giving me. My thirst started to receed and I was able to finally be pulled away.

  Angelic and Vincent had a hold of me. I tried to recover, but it was still hard. I could still smell what little blood that was left. I was somewhat alert to look over to see Mica with his hands around Lavon’s throat.

  “Don’t ever come back here!” Mica threatened. His fangs bared and eye’s wide.

  “Lavon just laughed. “I don’t think that I will have to!” He said smiling. But still in bloodlust from still being able to smell what little blood was left, I had not a clue to what Lavon meant by that.

  Angelic and Vincent pulled me into the house, before I could hear the rest of what was said. The bloodlust that was still their had something to do also with me not being able to hear everything. It was too hard to concentrate.

  “Raven. Get a hold of yourself! Look at me!” She said. By this time I think I started comming around a little. I felt someone smack me across the face. It didn’t hurt of course, but it made me more aware.

  “Raven!” It was Vincent. He must have smacked me. “Charles I don’t think it helped.”

  “Just hold her. She’ll come completley out of it in a moment.” Charles told him.

  He was right. I started to feel ashamed. “I’m sorry.” I whispered. I looked over to where Charles and Mica was. Ang. and Vincent finally let me go.

  “I want to take her away from here!” I seen and heard Mica telling his father. He was very serious. “He will just keep comming back. It won’t get any better!”

  “I agree Mica. Where will you take her?” Charles asked.

  “I will tell you, but their are still ears listening. I’ll call you once we are there safely.” Mica said. “Angelic? Will you and Carter acompany us their and stay with us? I’ll need someone to help me while I have to leave to get her the blood supply that she will need.”

  They looked at Mica and nodded yes. They went upstairs to pack some of they’re things.

  “Liza? Will you go pack some of Raven’s things for me?” Mica asked her.

  “Of course Mica.” Then she was off upstairs.

  Mica had his arms now wrapped around me. I had my face buried in his chest. I did not want to see the dissappointment on my families faces. Mica walked me into the kitchen.

  “Raven. You will be fine. Do not feel ashamed. This is apart of who we are, it is just stronger for you. It wasn’t your fault and no one is mad at you.”

  I looked up at him. He stroked my face with his fingertips. He just stared into my eye’s and I stared into his. Their were no words that I could say. I could only stare into the eye’s of the person that I knew really had to love me to not be ashamed of what I had just brought into the lives of his family and mine.

  It wasn’t long before we were on our way. We took a private plane. Mica did not want to chance me being around human’s after what had just happened. Once the plane landed we got into a car and drove to our destination. No one spoke on the way.

  They threw my phone away before we left. Mica wanted to be sure that Lavon could not contact me where were going. I was fine with that. Soon we pulled up to a two story house. The closest house to us was three miles away. Angelic told me that we were in Europe. We took in our things and unpacked. When I was done unpacking I layed across the beautiful bed that was their, not wanting to move.

  I was still ashamed of my actions, even if it is apart of this life. Mica walked in the door and came to lay beside me. He put his arms around me and like alway’s I layed my head on his masculine chest.

  “Mica? How could I loose control of myself like that? You guy’s never have this problem, so why do I?” I asked.

  “Your vampire half is stronger than the other unknown half. It is only natural, plus you are still new to this life. I think that if we are able to give you more blood that, you will have better control.” He looked down at me trying to reassure me and smiled.

  “But won’t it be harder for me to resist since I have tasted human blood fresh?”

  “It will be, but we have a fridge stocked full of blood for you. If you need the blood it will be there for you, then I don’t think that you will be that tempted, you’ll be in better control.” He paused his forhead creasing just the slightest. “You will of course still have to eat the human food. I know it is not what you want now, but you still have to eat it. We have to keep your thirst completely under control. I want to marry you on our planned date.”

  “Since we are not going back to New York, where will we get married at?” I stared up at him and seen that he was smiling. He stared back down at me and it felt like at this moment his eye’s could still mezmorize me. I smiled.

  “Actually here in Europe. The winter’s here I believe to be beautiful. It will go with your theme.”

  This time I sat up and stared down at him very seriously. “Mica I promise that I will do everything in my power to learn to control myself and my thirst. I want to be able to marry you and I realize
that I can’t as long as I’m not in control.”

  “I know you will Raven. And I don’t dought your strength, or your will to do it.” He smiled and it ended that conversation for the rest of that day and night. I’m the luckiest vampire ever. I have a fiance that loves me for what Iam. I am different than him, and I have the best family that anyone could ever ask for.

  A week has passed and I am really doing great on controlling my thirst. It has been a month since my complete transformation to my new life. The refridgerated blood has a whole lot to do with my thirst being under better control. Everything is great here, no one is mad at me, they never were. They understood, they truely are the most wonderful family that any vampire could have. Which their are not really vampires who live as families, mostly covens. They’re bonds are not that as a family. They have different intensions.

  Today, I keep getting these weird pictures in my head of thoughts and I don’t understand them, I’m not sure what to make of them. Their blurred and hard to see and their are no sounds or words. I”m not seeing people or events or anything meaningful at all. But whatever it is I plan on talking to dad (Charles), today to see if mabe he can help. Mabe together we can figure it out.

  “Raven.” Carter called me from down stairs.

  “What is it Carter?” I asked as I was almost done getting dressed for today.

  “Dad’s on the phone. He say’s it is urgent. He really needs to talk to you.”

  “On my way.” I responded. And within a half second I was downstair’s reaching for the phone. I really love my new speed.

  “Hey dad. What’s up?”

  “Have you been seeing anything weird here lately?” He asked and my forhead creased. If this was what was urgent and it don’t sound like a good thing, it worried me.

  “Yeah, but it’s blurry. I don’t understand it, their are no sounds or words or people or anything that seems to mean something. I was actually going to call you today and ask if you knew what it meant.”

  “I do know why. I had a preminition of you and I have not told anyone, but I know why your craving is so much more stronger than our’s and why it is so hard for you to control it. The preminition was of your future and it adds back up to this point of time.” He paused for a long moment.

  I had to speak. “Well what was it of dad? What is going on?” MY voice was strainded with anxiety. His tone of voice did not make me believe what he seen was a good thing.

  After a minute he told me what he had seen, and I about fell out right there where I stood. Which that is hard for a vampire hybrid to do, we don’t have balance problems or any other problems like that. We had a very long conversation on this subject, but first I walked out a distance to where no one could here me. He told me that it was not his buisness to tell anyone what he knows and what he seen, but really believes that I should tell Mica. I’m not so sure that I will though, not just yet.

  After our conversation on this subject we hung up, and I went on about my day like he had never said a word. Mica had left early this morning to go and get me some more blood. I hope that he get’s back soon. He has been gone for six hours. I just need to be with him right now. I need to keep my mind off of this subject for now. I have a feeling that is going to be a really hard thing for me to do considering.

  “Angelic.” I called her.

  She was there instantly. “What’s up?” She was smiling as alway’s.

  “Do you think that Mica will allow me to go out today? I have been doing really well with everything. Plus I know that you can feel that I am in control of myself. That’s why you havn’t been hovering over me alot the last couple of day’s.”

  “We can see. What do you want to go do?”

  “I was hoping to go look at some wedding dresses. It is almost time for the wedding.”

  “Raven, we have everything for the wedding all took care of.” She smiled wider with excitement.

  “When?” I asked in shock and true surprise.

  “Me and mom have been planning over the phone, this last past week. Is their anything else that you would mabe like to do?”

  “Can we go look at baby stuff?”

  “Raven, you know that you can not have kids.” Looking at me as if I was insane for the thought.

  “Angelic. My cousin is pregnant. When I talked to my mom yesterday she told me what she was having, a girl. I’d like to get some things for her.”

  “Sure, but we do have to wait and see what Mica thinks. It shouldn’t be too much longer.” She said.

  “Right.” I said a little glum. “I’m just gonna go watch some tv until he get’s here.”

  Angelic followed and we both went to sit on the sofa, to watch some weird movie that was on. The movie was just ending when Mica did finally show up.

  “Sorry it took me so long.” He said. “I had to go to more than one place this time. Dad called me and told me to make sure I got alot more than usual, but wouldn’t say why.” He came over to sit beside me and I kept my face well composed. I didn’t want to let him know that I was the one keeping something from him this time. I know that it makes me seem like a hypocryte, but I just don’t think it is the right time to tell him. I don’t know, it is just another one of those feelings. He said it once, about the consequence of being with Krystal and she was human, so how will he feel about this secret of mine.

  “How are you today?” He asked with concern for me. He touched my face with his perfect hands. I smiled at his electric touch.

  “I’m actually doing great today, well in control!” I said positively. “I actually wanted Angelic to take me out this evening.”

  “No!” He hissed through his teeth. “Charles also told me not to let you go anywhere!”

  “So, what I have to stay locked inside until our wedding day?” I protested.

  “For now, at this moment. Yes!” His tone was softer this time not as harsh. “He said it is for your own good” Mica promised me.

  “Fine!” I snapped at him. “I’ll be in our room.”

  “Wait for me Raven, we can talk.”

  “That’s fine Angelic I think I’m gonna need to talk. Just let me grab a cup of blood first.” I looked at Mica in a harsh way and walked off.

  Once me and Ang. were up in my room, I began to tell her just a little of what dad told me, I just skipped the most important parts. I would keep my secrets my own and tell no one until I feel like they need to know! Angelic almost begged me to tell her What the vision was that dad had about me, but I refused. Nothing was going to budge me on it.

  After she realized I wasn’t about to tell her what the vision was, she changed the subject to the wedding, that was comming up in a couple of weeks. She told me that the wedding was going to be held in London, they new of a place with lot’s of land. The wedding would be outside, but their would be a glass building built around to where the humans would not get cold. It would cover most of the land because their were going to be so many people there, humans and some of our own kind. Friends that they have met over the years. The way that she described everything, I knew that It would be beautiful. Plus I could see it in her thoughts.

  “When do you think that I will get to meet Mica’s son?” I asked after a few minutes of silence .

  “I think after the wedding. His son can not be here right now. His mother has his scent and could most likely find him easy if she thought that he was with Mica, and Mica does not want to chance that.”

  “You know I really wish that you could trust me enough to know that I would not tell anyone your secret of that vision.”

  “Angelic, you are like my biological sister and it is not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that I am not ready for anyone to know just yet, but I promise I will tell you all when I feel like it needs to be told.” I smiled trying to hide my feelings from her.

  Lit
tle does she know my secret won’t last that long. And if Lavon were to find out, I’m sure it would make it even less time then it already is. He would be beyond furious.

  “What are you worring about Rave?” She asked looking at me suspiciously.

  “Nothing of real importance.” I told her. I hesitated though, she was not convinced, but she let it go for now.

  I can see that it is going to be really hard to keep my secret from my loving sister of this life. What with her knowing what everyone is feeling. I half to keep my feelings disguised. I really just hope she doesn’t figure it out before I feel like it is the time to say. But honestly she may never have a clue to what it really is. It may even seem impossible. I smiled at that thought.

  Mica knocked on the door and interrupted my thoughts. “What?” I asked with just a little too much frustration in my voice.

  “Will you talk to me alone, please?”

  “I’ll be downstairs if you need me.” Angelic said to me before she smiled and left the room and then Mica came in.

  “So, what do you want to talk about?” I asked him when he came to sit beside me on the bed.

  He wrapped his arm around my waist. I allowed it. I’m not as frustrated as I was when I came upstairs. “I know that you don’t want to be stuck in the house, but I am sure that dad has a good reason for it.”

  “I’m sure that he does. Don’t worry I’m fine now. I was just a little mad, but it passed. I just needed to talk to your sister.” I smiled at him to reassure that I really was over my frustrations.

  “I suppose if you want we could all take a walk. Their isn’t a house for miles. I believe that that would be okay.”

  “Sounds great.”

  We went and got Angelic and Carter and we all went for a walk. Of course we had to wear winter clothes and a coat, even though their was no one around to see us. You just never know, the paparrazi could be hiding behind a tree for all we knew. Thats another reason I really have to get myself completely under control. I would never want to accidentally expose what we really are, because my thirst was to take over. I have to seem normal as if I had never changed, and believe me when I say that it is not as easy as it may seem. Once someone changes over, it is very hard to hold on to the humanity. As vampire’s we should not have humanity, but it is easier for my family because they have more of that other half in them then I do.
