Chapter 143: 140. The past and the future
"You\'re right. I didn\'t want anyone to know." Tracy said with a sad tone as she looked down.
"Being a werewolf and all isn\'t all as amazing as it sounded back then..." Tracy said as she looked at the ground.
"Because of what happened that time... With Omer?" Hannah said with a sigh. "I knew that you didn\'t want anyone to know, so I just told Dexter that I was the wolf."
"Thanks. That\'s a part of me that I don\'t want. But it\'s inescapable, another full moon is coming up next month." Tracy\'s fingers were visibly shaking and Hannah held her close.
"Don\'t worry, we\'ll get through it together. We could even start seeing how you can control it." Hannah suggested but Tracy just shook her head.
"No. No, no, no. I always loose control." Tracy refused and Hannah sighed.
\'She still holds on to what happened to Omer.\' Hannah sighed as she remembered what happened.
"Wait, but what really made him go after you?" Hannah asked and Tracy sighed as she began to explain.
"I told you they adopted me when I was still 5 years old." Tracy said and Hannah nodded.
"So I was always picked on by my step brothers, stuff like being forced to do their bidding, step parents always believed anything they said."
"All of a sudden, 13 years later my elder step brother, Omer, wanted to see me. I don\'t want to go into much details, but Omer forced himself on me, telling me I won\'t do anything about it, reminding me that they took care of me all my life."
"I was tired of being used by them, he took it too far this time. I was angry... I was enraged, I wanted revenge, I wanted to beat that grin off of his face." Tracy balled her fists as memories replayed in her head.
"And then it happened?" Hannah asked and Tracy nodded.
"Yes, everything became sharper and clearer and I was stronger, I wasn\'t scared anymore. I beat him, very well. But before I knew it, I was standing in a pool of blood. Even when the apocalypse haven\'t started the case was still being investigated." Tracy\'s hands were visibly shaking and she shook her head as she looked at Hannah.
"I think you should really let go." Hannah said and Tracy sighed.
"Apparently I\'m just normal. No supernatural abilities, only two skills to use. And I\'m just a newbie at martial arts. It would be nice to have a friend who would always watch my back." Hannah smiled and Tracy hugged her tightly all of a sudden.
"Hey, what\'s going on? You\'re supposed to be sad." Hannah said with a confused tone and Tracy chuckled.
"I\'m happy to have a friend like you." Tracy said and Hannah grinned.
"Of course. Without me I don\'t know how you would\'ve made it through first year. First year was tough." Hannah said and Tracy furrowed her brows as she released Hannah from the hug.
"You said that your race is still in question marks right? But everyone else has their races displayed." Tracy said and Hannah too put a finger on her chin as she thought about it.
"I don\'t really know. Could it be possible that I\'m not... human." She said and Tracy too nodded.
"Then what would you be then?" Tracy asked.
None of them were able to answer the question. Even the spirit interface was confused by what she was.
...
Outside of their building, on the other side of the camp. There was a small, wide grass field which was blocked by buildings all around.
Kila, Lily, Jude, and Collins were all there, and it was their first vampire training.
"Okay. Since you both became vampires, you haven\'t learned the way of doing things normally... As a vampire." Kila said as she looked at Jude and Collins who were both in front of her.
They had their family\'s brown eyes and although their faces looked different, they still looked alike.
"You both have drank human blood. Meaning that you\'re both true vampires now. Now, the next step is to master your abilities." Kila said and then she turned to Lily who just sipped a juice box while looking at them.
"You learned how to control bloodlust and transform. Show them, I don\'t even know how you did that." Kila frowned.
Lily removed the straw from her mouth before bringing her hand forwards.
"So, whenever I feel a bit out of control and I need to drink blood. I just think of my mom. What she would do if she found out that I lost control and I\'m now a killer." Lily explained. "So all these things keep me in check."
Kila nodded as she looked at Lily.
"You\'re a strong girl." Kila patted Lily\'s head and Lily moved back as she looked at Kila with a frown.
"Only brother Dexter is allowed to do that. Don\'t touch my head." She said and Kila wondered what was to stress about. It was just a few pats.
"Okay, so what about transformation?" Kila asked and Lily looked at her hand which was stretched out.
Under their watchful gazes, Lily\'s fingernails turned black and then her finger nails began to grow longer and longer, looking like black gems on her fingers.
Apart from the nails, Lily grinned at them, revealing to them her sharp fangs and her eyes glowed brightly in a golden colourññññdndñd as she gazed at them.
"It would really be nice to be able to do that." Collins said as he walked around Lily, getting to see all the changes around her.
"So when I want to use this form, I just think about how blood tastes or how blood smells and I\'m good to go." Lily explained and Kila nodded as she understood the logic behind what Lily just said.
"That\'s very good. I\'m sorry about your mom." Kila said but Lily didn\'t answer and just kept on drinking from her juice box.
"So, I\'m going to be showing you guys how to control. You\'re the future now. We have been blessed with the ability to walk in the sun." Kila said as she looked at the sun bathing her skin.
"Was walking under the sun really dangerous?" Jude asked and Kila gasped.
"Dangerous? You only call it dangerous? It was terrible." She said while looking at him with a serious face.
"Normally I would have burned to ashes by now. The fire eats us from the inside out. I\'ve experienced it once..." Kila said and Collins looked down.
"I wouldn\'t want to experience that." He said and Jude looked at him.
"Don\'t worry, we\'re daylighters." Jude said with a smile and and Kila nodded as she breathed out.
"First things first. We are going to train you on how to bear and beaßt the bloodlust. You\'re masters of your own body, you have to make decisions by yourself and not allow your vampire instincts to control you." Kila said and Jude sighed as they got ready.
...
"So, the goal would be to resist drinking my blood." Kila said as she brought forward her wrist and the boys got confused.
"Wait, vampires can drink from other vampires?" Jude asked and Kila nodded.
"Of course."
She slit her wrist with her claws and even licked her claws.
\'She\'s so damn sexy. But she\'s older than me.\' Jude thought with a sigh as he concentrated.
All of a sudden, his pupils suddenly started glowing brightly in a gold colour and his scelera began to turn black as he stared at her wrist.
"Resist!! You want it, yes. Don\'t be controlled by the bloodlust." She said and then she looked at Collins who was already breathing hard while closing his eyes.
He opened his eyes and Kila saw that the black part of his scelera was fading away, turning back to it\'s usual white and she smiled.
"Think about something else. Something else better than food." Kila said as she looked at her hand.
The slit she made was already gone and only blood was on her wrist.
"I can\'t!! I just want blood!!" Jude rushed towards Kila, reaching her in the blink of an eye and Kila only moved to the side a little letting Jude trip to the ground.
"Just stay!!" He shouted before lunging towards her and she kicked him sideways, making him crash against the fence and he hit his head and went unconscious.
"Huh... Seems like he has trouble learning control. If he can\'t control himself, he would be targeted by those scientists. I wonder if I should Just go inside their lab and kill them all." Kila said and Lily came from behind.
"That is a very bad idea. Dexter would want to know what exactly they can do to us and learn as much about them before he makes a move." Lily said and Kila folded her arms.
"Well, I\'m not Dexter." She mumbled.
"Then get yourself killed." Lily said as she walked away and she frowned as she couldn\'t believe this little girl just talked to her like that.
