CHAPTER ONE

"Ignorance"

Written by Jchrist (African Good Boy)

_________________________________________
I don't know why I thought following Austin
would clear up this mess. I mean, what did I
expect to find? Whatever I expected, it was
most certainly not what I found. I walked to
the school, keeping a low profile. When I got
there I went straight for the football field. The
team was practicing, but I didn't see Austin.
The way he effortlessly kicked ass out there
was usually pretty easy to spot.
I jogged down to the field. Nick, one of
Austin's friends, was by the edge of the field.
His dark brown hair was saturated with sweat,
and his face was pinkish. He was guzzling
down water.
"Nick!" I called.
"Oh, hey Callaway," Nick said breathlessly.
I rolled my eyes; why do guys always call
people by their last name?
"Have you seen Austin anywhere?" I asked.
"Uh, yea. He said he had to get something
from his locker," Nick said.
"Okay, thanks!" I said as I began to jog back
up to the school.
I tried the front doors, locked.
I knew that the gym doors were open because
of sports' practices. I rounded the corner to
the gym doors, when I caught sight of Austin.
I immediately jumped back, hiding behind the
corner. I peaked out from my hiding spot to
see Austin in the middle of an intense make-
out session with Cassi Sanders.
Ew.
But I didn't leave, I had to watch; whether it
made me physically ill or not. Cassi had her
back against the wall. She had her fingers
intertwined in his hair and he had his arms
around her waist. They were breathing really
loud. Austin's lips moved down to Cassi's
neck. At first, I thought he was giving her a
hickey.
Cassi moaned in pleasure and buried her face
in Austin's hair. After about ten minutes Austin
pulled away from her neck. When he moved I
could clearly see two little holes in Cassi's
neck.
Blood was trickling out of them. Austin took a
step away from Cassi. I could clearly see the
blood on his lips. He smiled, and I could see
fangs, that were sooonot there before.
"Forget," he whispered seductively.
Cassi looked mesmerized as she murmered,
"Yes, whatever you say" in a dream like voice.
Austin draped Cassi's auburn hair over her
shoulder to cover the bite mark. "Good, now
go" he purred. She walked away, smiling to
herself.
I had just noticed I was hyperventilating. I
closed my eyes and slumped against the wall,
hidden behind the corner. "Oh My God, Oh My
God" I thought over and over again. Because I
had come to a conclusion, the Kardigans were
vampires. How could I have been so stupid? I
mean, it was all right in front of me! The fact
that they never ate, their paleness, their
otherworldly beauty, their silver eyes, their
overall perfectness with the underling current of
danger. . . It was obvious! Well. . . if you had
a wild imagination and one too many shots of
Tequila. Because, no matter how well the
pieces fit together, I could not make myself
believe it.
I slowly opened my eyes.
To see Austin's face right in front of mine. I
flinched back against the wall; he'd scared the
living hell out of me. His wide silver eyes were
staring into my eyes, searching for something.
He looked entirely focused, but I could sense
some panic underneath it all. The blood was
wiped from his lips and the fangs were gone,
or at least not visible. But that didn't make me
less startled.
"How much did you see," he demanded,
abruptly.
Well, it's nice to see you too.
"Enough," I said, arrogantly. Well, I couldn't let
him think I was intimidated.
"And what do you think," he asked tonelessly.
"I think you're a vampire," I said.
He didn't laugh in my face or call me crazy like
I hoped he would.
"This is the part where you explain everything
and tell me my imagination got away from
me," I prompted.
He didn't say anything.
"So, it's true?" I whispered.
"Yes," he said, emotionless.
"Oh My God!" I babbled, panicking "Austin,
does this-" He cut me off.
"First of all, that's not my real name, and
second-" This time it was my turn to cut him
off.
"Wait. Not your real name? Then what is your
real name?"
He sighed, "My real name is Austeralgo, and
Kate's real name is Hekate. We shortened
them to blend in better."
I felt sick. Everything I thought I knew, I really
didn't. I hadn't even known my best friends
name! I couldn't stop myself from asking the
rudest question that popped into my head.
"What kinds of names are those?"
"Greek," he said, "All immortals have greek
names so it's easier for us to identify one
another."
There were two things about what he said.
First off, he said 'all' meaning there were more
of them. And he said 'immortals' not Vampires.
Meaning there were more 'mythical' creatures
out there besides Vampires.
"Are you okay?" he asked, "Are you gonna like
have a nervous breakdown or something?"
"No," I lied.
"Well, good. Cause you and me gotta go for a
little drive and see some people that can help
sort out this whole mess," he told me.
"Are we going to your house?" I asked.
"My house? Hell no. They'd kill me. No, we're
going to see some friends of mine," Austin
said.
"Okay, but you better not be planning to be
bringing me as some kind of side-dish," I
warned.
"Were not like that," he muttered, looking at the
wall over my shoulder.
"Well, then what are you like?" I asked, gently.
"When it comes to vampires what you see is
not what you get," he murmured.
"Good," I said, "Cause so far the only things
I've seen are blood and fangs. And I definitely
don't want those. . . Speaking of, did you
always have fangs?"
He laughed a little. Then smiled, showing all
his teeth. Nope, no fangs.
Then he said, "They're retractable," and then his
two canine teeth grew. Pointing and jagged.
Looking just like plastic vampire teeth. Only
sharper, and whiter, and shinier, and deadlier.
"Oh," I said, startled.
He laughed, but the strain didn't leave his face.
"Okay. . . but what about all the other things," I
babbled, "Like, aren't vampires supposed to
be. . . I don't know, immortal? But you've been
aging since I met you. And I thought vampires
couldn't have kids. And you have parents so. .
. And shouldn't Cassi be a vampire now? You
bit her. And how are you out in the sun right
now?"
He laughed. It made things seem more normal,
except that his fangs were still in place.
"Well, most myths about vampires are
somewhat true," Austin said ,"Like, the kid
thing. You see, there are two types of
vampires-"
He stopped, and tilted his head to the side,
listening. I listened too. At first I didn't hear
anything, but after a second I could hear the
sounds of football players' booming laughter
approaching us. Austin's face became very
alert.
"We have to go," he said, and his fangs began
to retract.
"What?" I teased, "You don't want your buddies
to know your the Quarter Back Of The
Undead?"
He rolled his eyes and then began to pull me
towards the parking lot.
"Shouldn't you be having Post Traumatic Stress
Disorder or something?" he said, "Or feinting?
That would be helpful. . . "
"You'd be surprised how much I can handle," I
murmured.
"Well, c'mon let's go," he said ,"I'll explain the
rest in the car"
"Mhm," I mumbled.
I let Austin lead me to his thoughts were
swirling in my stress level was rising like a
bizzilion times faster then it ever should. My
best friend was a vampire. The guy I had the
biggest crush on drank girls' blood while
making out with them. And I was being taken
to a group of immortals, very possibly like a
bottle of wine. Not to mention, I had a huge
science test the next day.
I felt sick.
