11 relax

"Noah, why are you here, didn't you want to not be near me and avoid this dangerous thing also known as me and my life?" I had to ask i wanted to know. "I know what I did hurt you and I hadn't meant to do that, I could have handled that a lot better. I'm sorry I did that, I love you Ang. I mean it and i want to be next to you for as long as I can, even if its just sitting on the sidelines i want to be there. We both smiled and stayed cuddled with him holding me in my wrapped blanket. we never heard mom come home or walk down the hall, she opened the door "Honey did you happen to eat anything yet, you need food in your system." She started to talk to me and stoped when she seen us on my bed. "Oh I'm sorry honey why don't you guys come to the kitchen and ill make dinner." She backed out of the door way and went down the hall. The blanket hide my Needle and blood, I was safe. I just needed to throw the blood and needle in a safe, we managed to do that and find mom in the kitchen putting potatoes and steak on the table. "Noah are you staying for dinner with us, it would be a nice addition to our evening?" Mom invited Noah with the most embarrassing mother smirk on her face, the door bell rang and his mothers face was at the door. We answered and she hugged me. "Honey why didn't you call you know I'm a nurse and your like one of my own kids, I could have sent Noah to take care of you. I'm glad to know your feeling better now." His mother shot out those words so fast i couldn't answer one of them let alone all of them fast enough. At that point Noah had told my mother he had to go home and get ready for school, I managed to tell his mother i was ok enough and I didnt need to worry her.we each got to our own mothers and they left, when my mother and I sat down if was odd. I haven't had a meal like this in awhile, we talked about our days and they were normal boring days at work and school. She asked if we had done anything, I responded by saying we just talked and he tried to help make me feel better. She said that he was an ok kid but would rather have a Hispanic guy for me so we could have cute tan kids, I proceeded to laugh and call her racist. It was a good day and meal, I finally went to bed and drank the last of the blood that was intended to go in me. I felt better i was well fed and stronger now, as i fell asleep i felt my eyes heavy and my body finally relaxed after everything. Nothing was wrong i was healthy and my mom was ok with the human boy I liked and my boss liked him enough.

The next day i felt strong and normal, i dressed like my usual self, Black jeans and a loose t-shirt along with my jacket. Mom already was half way out the door and i was almost out, i heard a knock at the door and there was the guard giving me a ride. This one missed the day of training where you didn't disrupt the normal human life because that's what he did by going to the door. I answered, " How can I help you?" Under my breath i whispered you can't come to the door my mothers human. He understood and his eyes went down. "I'm sorry i think I have the wrong house thank you." He quickly remarked loud enough for my mother to hear as she came around the corner and said that's ok have a nice day. I was safe so i kissed her good bye and grabbed my bag and ran out the door and she went to her car and went different ways, i went around the corner and he pulled up so i could jump in. The guy looked like he could cry because he did that, introduced himself as tommy and drove me to school. He explained that his family didn't know either and that he was secretly gay, his family knew that and barely talked to him since then. I felt bad for him, but my mother would think i was mental if I told her. We got to school and waiting was Noah, Tommy seen him and watched my face light up then went on to say to becareful with a human they break easy. I got out and went inside with Noah, what he said stayed in my head but I knew id always be cautious of what i did around him or my strength level. I never noticed tommy till lunch time while I looked out the window and there across the street on the roof was his head barely visible, i smiled and he very carefully waved back at me. He watched me all day, i was thankful, by the end of the day i was safe and going home in his car. He almost seemed bored. When we got to the corner a block away from my house he pulled over and let me out saying he would pick me up here for school from now on. I was fine with that, everyday after was that same day over and over except i now trained Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday. Life was good and Everything went well, of course till I came home one day to my mom being home early and a random vampire scent flowing out from my house. My mom had a vampire in the house, correction there was a danger to my mother in the house and I was the only one who could save her. I called Sam and told him to be on stand by. I walked in the house fast and called out for my mom, a muffled call came back and a slight scream after wards, the living room on the other side of the wall from the front door. I ran in and there he was holding her with his hand over her mouth and nails at her throat. I looked at her and said to not move or do anything. I seen his eyes they were surprised that I'd try to save her, If it was my mother or even Noah Id go down just to save them. In that moment my mother looked at me almost pleading for me to run, but i wouldn't because i was about to beat him half way to death if not kill him as well. I let go and let my eyes change, my body was strong and coiled i growled out his one warning to let her go or I'd take his life as well. She had fear in her eyes, either for her life or from the sight of me I wasn't sure but i was ready to throw my normal life away to save her. He let go and grinned then pulled out a knife, I jumped at him with my hands ready to hurt him. He moved back and Sam showed up and jumped in front of my mother to protect her, he knew better than to get between me and my now prey. He swung the knife at me and I dodged it and came back with a hit to his throat and a knee to his stomach right there was when I delt my damage to him and it was over. As he began to double over i took his head and kneed it twice let go as I threw him back and kicked his face. He fell down and didn't get up, my mother was crying and I was worried but I also knew if something were to happen id be crying more. Tommy showed up along with Luis, they both seen the man on the ground and I told them I came home to him holding my mother by the throat. Sam told them what he seen and then it was my mothers turn to tell them what happened, but she looked utterly petrified of us. I felt like a monster again. She looked at me and I finally asked her if I was scarring her? She said "Ang I am afraid of you but Im more afraid of the fact you took down a man almost double your size with a knife and saved me. Your still in school with skills like that and your eyes changed, I don't even know who these guys are let alone why that man showed up. But I'm glad you are here and that you can handle yourself" She told me that much and I started to cry. The guys had restrained the intruder and almost didn't know what to do about me and my mother. Luis seen that he would have to explain what I was to her, he took her by the hand and wrapped an arm around her guiding her to the kitchen for water while telling the others to take the intruder in for processing. He said for me to clean up and meet him in the kitchen in a few minutes. I did clean up and I put my bag in my room, I also managed to pack a bag of the clothes I might need for a few days and what things id need if i was kicked out. I was preparing for the worst, But as I zipped up my bag I heard Luis call my name. I ran to the kitchen and my mom looked at me like I was about to sprout wings and fly or turn to a bat like all those cheesy movies. He told me that he explained our set up and what I was to her and she was taking it very well, she looked at him and then me and said," Honey is this true? Your a vampire and a security guard at his company along with a guard for other vampires?" It was an easy answer but it was almost a loaded question that had a lot of impact. "Yes mom I am. Im sorry if I scare you or if this changes things but Im still your kid and nothing will change that, ive done so much but Im sorry my personal life put you in danger." I managed to say that but I kept choking on the words because I kept trying to cry. She looked like she wanted to run away but seen the sadness in my own eyes and hugged me, I cried and broke down in my mothers arms. I hoped I wouldn't have to tell her and that I wouldn't put her in danger, but I did and I had. She finally said that as long as I was careful and came home alive every day that she wouldn't stop me. I was happy and I hugged her again, I was lucky I still had a home and my mother. She went ahead and invited the guys to dinner they agreed not only to be nice but to make sure we would be ok. She said to go ahead and drink blood with dinner, she served spaghetti and meat balls and in our glasses blood. It was a nice change i never had, but the guys were used to it. Mom seemed nervous about a house full of vampires but they joked and talked about their personal lives and how work was getting crazy with days like this and no one knew why it was happening or how these people are showing up.

By the end of the night the guys were still joking and laughing and mom was comfy with them. She didnt care about the blood in our cups or the bad puns being thrown around, they went home and I cleaned up. Mom sat down and looked at me, "can you show me what you look like?" She asked honestly with curiosity. so i sat at the other end of the table so she was ok with the safe distance. I closed my eyes relaxed my eyes and mouth, I felt my eyes change to their natural vampiric red tint and my teeth ached while my fangs grew out far enough to be noticed. I opened my eyes and looked towards my mother and let my mouth open enough to show my teeth. She was almost afraid of the sight in front of her, I wanted to run, I was in front of my mother fully changed showing her the daughter she once had that is now a monster. " Honey does it hurt, your teeth?" She quietly asked almost afraid to ask. "They do sort of in a way, they ache like I'm teething. I won't hurt you, if you want to know anything let me know or ask I just want you to know I love you and I haven't changed any more than this." As I spoke I let my eyes change back to normal along with my teeth. I felt like i was the most frightening thing she could live with. She got up and hugged me, I realized she wasnt afraid of me anymore but i was still afraid of her. I even told her that and she hugged me tighter saying that she knew i was still her little girl. I cried again and felt like a child crying to their mother about monsters. We started to go to bed but I changed my mind and asked if I could go for a jog, she responded by saying I'm able to handle myself and i could come and go as I like within reason and going for a jog before bed was fine. I went for a jog around the block and came back feeling exhausted and said goodnight. I listened closely and heard her heart beat and only hers in the house, I went to bed reassured that everything was fine and safe yet again. I was fine, my mother was safe and my home was now an open place to the reality of the world. Tomorrow will be a good day.
