Dark Truth

by Fallon Farmer

  “Oh, umm...,I’m having my other food today!” I tried to give him an honest smile, but it did not work out as I wanted it to. “Mica, I just don’t have an appetite or taste for any of this food!”

  He did not look happy about that. “Rave, love that don’t sound good. I mean you need this food as well as the other. The baby needs both foods.” We never spoke about my thirst of blood in front of Micheal. He has not been exposed to the know of drinking blood. he’s only ate food, human food.

  “Mica, we should talk about this later. Okay? When Ang. and Carter are here to watch Micheal.”

  “That is fine, but we will finish this conversation!” He looked up at me from underneath his eyelashes. I knew that he was not going to let this go.

  I went up to my room in the small stocked fridge where I am keeping my blood. I got Four cups out and the smell of it had my fangs showing. I gulped them down quickly then went to the bathroom to make sure my face was clear of any traces of the blood. My thirst for blood has really grown in the last month, more than it was. I don’t even think of the human food anymore. I have to force it down my throat, just to make Mica and the rest happy. If I could have my way that is all I would have is blood, blood and more blood.

  It wasn’t long before Carter and Ang. returned back home. She was in a happy go lucky mood, but I noticed that she was tasting the atmosphere around her. Meaning she was feeling what me and Mica were feeling at that very moment.

  “Hey Rave. How do you feel today” She asked with a smirky grin on her face. I knew that she knew, but she wanted me to tell her anyway’s.

  “I’m sure you know.” I told her.

  “I know, but I was asking you to tell me, and what is up with Mica? I can feel his emotions and he don’t seem to happy! I can feel his worries all the way down here.”

  Mica was upstairs with Micheal. “He’s just worried about me as usual!” I said rolling my eye’s. I could see that she was really concentrating on senseing the feelings around her.

  Her expression changed quickly. I’m sure she was feeling my blood thirsty mood, even though I just drank four cups of blood mabe an hour ago. “Rave, I’m sensing some strange things fom you! What exactly is Mica worried about?” She asked with her lips drawn down and her eyebrows slanting in a worried , but frustrated, strained look on her face. She knew that something was up and she wanted to know what.

  I whispered. “He’s worried, because I no longer want human food. Truth is, that it disgusts me to even think about it.” I blew the worry off and I think it upset her just a bit.

  “I see.” She said to me. “Carter.” She called. “Call mom and dad. I need to talk to them it is important.”

  “Sure thing babe.” He agreed and went to call them for her. After he got them on the phone he handed it to Angelic and she went upstairs to talk quietly, I assume that she wants me to hear as little as possible.

  A few seconds later my phone rang. Mica had bought me a new one with a new number that no one was aloud to have, but my vamp family.

  I answered it. “Hello.” I figured that it was mom or one of them.

  “I’m calling to see how you are feeling.” A strange voice said. A man’s voice that I didn’t reconize in the slightest.

  “Who is this?” I aked confused and frustrated.

  “Let’s just say that I am a friend of a friend.” I could hear the smile in his voice. It was devious. “So how is your thirst is it getting worse? Do you crave nothing but the blood now? Oh! And are you feeling the need to come back to New York anytime soon?” The deep voice asked alot of question’s, but it seemed like he already knew the answer’s to them.

  “I don’t know what your talking about!” I shouted into the phone then quickly hung up. “Mica!” I yelled out of anger.

  “What is it love?” He asked standing right beside me in less than a half of a second.

  “Some guy just called me asking to many questions. Especially about my thirst and he wanted to know if I was feeling the need to come back to New York anytime soon!” I was starring him right in the eye’s. I could see the fury building on his face. He looked like a true vampire at this moment. I didn’t read his mind. I didn’t think that I wanted to know what he was truely thinking at this particular moment.

  “Lavon!!” He said the name very violently.

  “What?” I was about to protest that that was not who the caller was, but he was to deep in thought and to angry to even realize that I had spoke. A few minutes of waiting, I started getting impatient. I decided that mabe after all I should take a look into his mind.

  He was thinking of the night, when I had first drank human blood. In his thoughts were when he had Lavon by the throat. I heard Lavon say ‘I don’t think I’ll have to!’ Answering Mica’s threat that was telling Lavon to never come back their again. He kept replaying that sceene over and over again. I could see that his fury was getting more and more to a dangerous level and seeing me drain the rest of that poor soul did not help the situation. I jumped out of his mind very quickly. I didn’t like the fury that I was seeing roll off of him from inside of his mind.

  “Mica please!” I put my hands on either side of his face. I looked into his eye’s. “Please tell me what that was about! Please.” I wanted him to talk to me, but he stayed quiet.

  Within that second Dad was though the door. “Mica!” He yelled. “Don’t do it son, please!” He pleaded and I was confused at his words. “It’s not worth it.”

  “What are you talking about dad?” I asked trying not to seem panicky, which in truth I was frightened that something bad was about to happen.

  Dad turned to me quickly and said, “Raven, go upstairs with Ang. Please!”

  “No!” I yelled getting just as mad as they were. “Tell me what this is about?” I screamed at him, demanding that he tell me.

  He looked at Carter. “Take her upstairs now.” He demanded his other son.

  The next thing that I knew, Carter had a hold of my arms securely holding them behind my back and trying to force me upstairs.

  “What the hell!” I yelled. “Carter let go of me! Now!” I was beginning to see red, I was so furious.

  Angelic came downstairs. She looked at the scene in front of her and she felt the moods around her. She came to stand where Carter was trying to force me up the stairs. “Let go of her.” She told Carter in a calm voice which was deadly at the same time. He let go of me. “Dad, what is going on?” She asked, still calm.

  While she spoke to dad I started to try and calm myself. I sat down and consentrated on getting into dad’s mind. I gasped! I seen the image that he had seen in a preminition. I pulled it strait from his mind to mine. I wanted to cry, but it is not possible.

  I sat right their and stared at Mica as he stared right back at me. He has still not spoke one word. He has stayed silent through out everything that has happened since I seen inside of his mind, as I seen his fury. I did not want to believe what I seen in dad’s head. Their was no way...., he wouldn’t...., would he? I don’t want to believe that Mica could feel that way toward me, I don’t beleive that he could ever hurt me that way. But that is what dad seen. Mica was thinking of way’s that he could hurt me, way’s that he might possibly kill me. I was shocked.

  “Mica I am sorry! I did not know, it’s not my fault! Please, just talk to me.” I pleaded with him. I did not like his violent silence.

  He raised his hand to me, but Angelic was in his path. With the look that she obviously gave him, he dropped it quickly. He turned and walked out of the house. I turned and went to my room. I coould not bare the pain of this, not even as a vampire. It made the pain seem triple worse than it should be.

  I went strait to my bed and sat their thinking. I did not know that that night, Lavon had mixed his blood with that of the man that I had helped drain. The first time that I drank fro
m a human and tasted the fresh blood right from the source. Now my worry is set to know that all Lavon has to do is bite me and I may very well end up his from that point on. I’m sure that drinking Lavon’s blood is the reason for my wanting nothing but blood. I laid on the bed and buried my head in the pillow, which was hard considering my stomache was so huge. With that thought the pain came stronger. I am going to have Mica’s child and he is past furious with me over something that is not my fault. Tonight I wish that I was able to be human so that I could sleep.

  Three hours later, I heard a knock at the door. I reached out with my mind to see that it was Mica and Ang.. I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, but I told them to come in. I sat up and starred at the door where it was opening slowly.

  Mica told Angelic that he was fine, that he would not dare hurt me. He walked over to me and grabbed my hand gently and pulled me up to where I was standing directly in front of him. I looked over at Angelic and she nodded that he was really fine then she told me with her mind that she would be standing right outside the door if I needed her, and I nodded back to her so she would know that that would be fine. She shut the door behind her.

  “How are you?” I asked looking down.

  “I’m better now. Rave I am sorry that I lost it back there. I was just so full of fury that I was willing to hurt anyone and then seeing what I was seeing in my memory.... well it pointed that anger at you. I should have never even thought. You know that I would never....” He fell to his knee’s with his hands over his face. He could not cry, but I could see in his mind that he was hurting, that he was in pain to even think of such a thing.

  I got down on my knee’s to comfort him. “Mica. I understand. I just want to make sure though that you know it was not my fault, that I never intended for that to happen. It upsets me just as bad.”

  He lifted his head and looked me dead in the eye’s. “Raven, you will never be his, you are mine for the rest of eternity!”

  “I only love you.” I told him sincere. “I would never...”

  “Rave, if he was to bite you, it would be very hard to fight him. At some time you would have to give in. He already has a tie to your life, now that you have drank his blood. But I promise you that I will do everything in my power to not let him anywhere near you. As I said before you will alway’s be mine and no matter what you will alway’s belong to me.” He paused, starring into my eye’s with his. “I think that you and Micheal should come to work with the rest of us, just incase he was to try and get to you, which I am sure that he will. That way one of us can alway’s watch over you.” He was very serious.

  Instead of speaking, I threw my arms around his neck and buried my face into his chest. He lifted my head after a moment to where he was looking into my eye’s, then he was kissing me and I was on the bed with him hovering over me. My clothes were off and so were his, in that split second. He pulled his body as close to me as he could without hurting my pregnant stomache. I locked my hands in his hair and we kissed fiercely and way much more than passionately.

  He gently rubbed my stomache with one of his hands then whispered into my ear, “Our baby will be as beautiful as you.”

  He moved his lips back to mine. This night we made love. He made love to me in a way that I have never felt before. It was like we shined brighter than the sun, the stars, our love is so powerful in this moment that no one could defeat it. It is more powerful and more pure than anything or anyone in this whole world, the world of the living and the world of the dead. It is more than any magic out their, more than any love put together as one, so mabe their is hope then. To that thought I smiled.

  The sun rose, bringing a beautiful morning as I lay beside Mica with his arms wrapped securely around me and my head on his bare beautiful chest.

  “Raven?” He said to me.

  “Yes Mica.” I whispered back.

  “I will protect you and our baby, and I want to make sure that after yesterday, that you know that I love you and will alway’s love you no matter what, and I will alway’s be here for you.” He was looking down at me and I was looking up at him and I knew that my wonderful husband was not lying. I could see the pain that he was trying hard to conceal from me, I could see all the love and desire for me right their on his face and in his beautiful eye’s.

  “I do believe you Mica. I know that you love me and I know you will protect me and alway’s be here for me. So, please don’t worry about that! I will never stop loving you, no matter what.”

  He bent down and kissed my lips, and I knew that he heard and understood what I was saying. We laid their just starring into each other’s silver eye’s. I caressed his face with my thumb and fingers, tracing his lips and around his eye’s. Just letting him feel my touch upon his skin, he shivered and his lips were back on mine, then their was a light tap on the door. It was Carter. I could here his thoughts.

  “Just a minute Carter.” I said.

  “We’ll be right out.” Mica added.

  After one last kiss, we got up out of bed and put some clothes on to go downstairs. When we got down their, it was only Carter, Angelic, and dad.

  “Where is Micheal?” Mica asked.

  “He is with mom.” Carter answered. “Mica their is something that we need to tell you two, and it is not good news.”

  “What is it?” I asked at once.

  “After all, Krystal is in Paris to shoot the next movie. So now we know, but Lavon and his friends are here with her.” Dad answered me.

  “Dammit.” Mica said. His eye’s widened. “We have to protect Rave, and our child! If he bites her.... well I don’t want to loose Rave or my child that she is carrying! It can’t happen!”

  “Mica we will get through this, all of us. We will all do everything that we can to save her from the daywalker’s.” Ang. promised him, placing her hand on her brother’s shoulder. He looked at her with sad eye’s and she closed her’s. They both sighed. “Mica she is our family, my sister and Carter’s.”

  “She is also my daughter.” Dad said. He walked over to us to put his hand on each of our shoulder’s. “Well, we have to leave in an hour to get to work on time, so You two need to put on some decent clothes. Even though we are going through this, their will still be fans and friends their. We have to play our role in the human world.”

  “Sure dad.” Mica told his father. Then we both went upstairs to put on our good clothes. I had to fix my hair. The clothes that were nice were also maternity clothes. But finally we were done and it was time to go.

  Angelic did not think that it would hurt me to run, but Mica was not going to have that. He is insisting on carrying me while we run, just to be sure. We left the house on time. We were in Paris at where they will be working, and we were there fifteen minutes early. I noticed that my guards were there, along with Liza, Vincent, Heaven, and of course Micheal.

  Micheal ran over to me and Mica, with my guards following him.

  “Hello Mrs. Wolfe.” Zeke said to me.

  “Hello Zeke, Nathan, Malieke. How are you?”

  “Were fine ma’am. It is nice to see you again.” Nathan said back to me.

  “Yes, it is. And we will do everything in our power to protect you!” Malike said sincerely.

  “I know that you will do everything that you can. Thank you.” I smiled at my three gaurds and they smiled back.

  Mica got my attention after that. “Rave. I half to go work, but I will be right over their. If you need me, let me know. You are more important to me and my child that you are carrying. Okay?”

  “I know, and I will. I love you.” He smiled and kissed my lips and went over to his marker to start filming.

  Their were two chairs there for me and Micheal to sit in and we did and then my gaurds surrounded us. I seen when Krystal and her boyfriend Zarious arrived. Lavon was following them into the set as well. I figured that
most likely the other’s were outside waiting.

  Krystal glared at me and I glared back. My guards tightened around me and Micheal when they saw Lavon starring my way. Lavon was not happy. He could see that I was pregnant, he was also confused to how that was. I looked over at Mica. Mica looked at me then turned to glare at Lavon, and I knew that it was taking everything that Mica had to not go over toLavon and rip his filthy day walking head right off of his shoulders, or to take something and stab him through is stone cold dead heart. But he was a real man and he kept control over his self.

  Whenever one of them were not filming or rather it wasn’t their turn or they wasn’t in the scene, one of my family member’s would come sit next to me and we would talk. Regaurdless of the tension and me listening to the thoughts of my enemies, I actually had fun watching Mica and them act. They took their roles very seriously and played their character’s well. They also had fun working. It was good to see that. Them all having fun. The only time that the tension was really high is when they had a scene with krystal. But my family is mature and they handled everything great.

  Finally the day was done, and it was a very long day. Mica decided it best if everybody stay’s at mine and Mica’s place, just incase Lavon and them were to try something, like trying to get to me. We did not run back home. We all rode in the cars that Vincent and Heaven drove to work. They already had clothes packed just incase something like today happened and then they would need to stay with us.

  When we came through the door at the house. Heaven took Micheal upstairs to his room, and the rest of us gathered in the livingroom to talk about our new situation.

  “Did you by any chance get into Lavon’s head today at the set Rave?” Dad asked me.

  “I did actually. He was not very happy with what he seen. He was trying to figure out how I was with child when no breed of vampire can have children. But he still has not changed his mind. He is very intent on biting me at the first sign that he see’s someone slipping and not paying attention. He will go for it. I believe that he will even try and locate our house if he hasn’t already.” I explained to them.
