3 Chapter Three

September year 1918

Ruby Pov.

It's been 4 months since I've found out I'm a vampire. I still can't believe it. Trying to not drink 'human' blood is so hard.. Lucian is trying to help me, but I almost had an accident 2 months ago.

2 MONTHS AGO

"Lucian, why are we out here?" i asked

"You've been stuck in the house for almost three months and we're running out of food." he said

"Well why are we in the forest then" i asked another question

"You need to learn to drink animal blood instead of human blood which I get from people who donate it." he said

'Animal blood' i thought, well i thought i said that in my head

"Yes animal blood that's how i survived until that day when i didn't hunt for a week because of work." he said

"And by the way you were thinking out loud." he said, before I could open my mouth to say anything. As we are walking in the woods I smelt human blood. It made me stop in my tracks.

"I thought no one would be here at this time." Lucian said out loud

"Well it seems as if some people like to take midnight walks." I said as I was struggling not to run off, but I couldn't help it. I ran off to the smell of blood. I could feel Lucian behind me as I was getting closer to the smell. Next thing I know I'm being knocked forward on the ground. I look to see who did it only to find Lucian pinning me down and me struggling to break free.

"LET ME GO!" i yelled

"No, I need you to calm down please." he told me, so I elbowed him in the nose and stood up again. I looked at Lucian and dared him to stop me again like that. He put his hands up and surrendered.

" I am trying......I have to get out of here." I beg, looking around for an exit. giving me whiplash and anxiety just looking around to keep me from running towards the ‘human’ blood.

"Ok I will not stop you and we will go farther in the woods ok?" he said. Stopping my struggling he looked at me. Holding out his hand to help me balance myself, which I took. Still struggling a little bit i spoke

"Ok" i said

We began running the opposite way of which I ran to. which we spotted an deer and where i became vegan on animal blood for the first time. the blood wasn't as wseet when i had my first taste of blood, but Lucian said i'll get used to it.

End Of Flashback

Since then we only go when it's misty and when it's less light. Nothing seems to happen lately as I can't go to sleep anymore. I don't eat regular food. I realized I have abilities like: telepathy, lie detection which explain why I can tell if Lucian is lying to me, and subjective precognition that hasn't happened yet, but I'm waiting for it to see what happens. I was reading a book in the living room until I heard the front door open. I looked up to see Lucian walking in looking terrified, more like if he was ashamed of himself. I got up off the couch and slowly approached him.

"Are you ok Lucian what is wrong?" i asked slowly

".......I.....I" he couldn't get the words out

"It's ok you can take your time." I said while directing him to the couch to sit down. He put his head in his hands.

"I did it again" he said lowly almost low that i couldn't hear

"What did you do again Lucian?" i asked

He looked up at me with guilt. I've seen that look before, it can't be true. The time i’ve known Lucian it seems he knows of my power. Me holding back the disappointment in my face when i thought of the possibility of it being what i think it is hurts me more. I never asked him to promise me not to do it but he didn’t seem like the type of person just to go around and do that. I looked at him.

"What did you do, Lucian?" I asked again trying to eliminate the possibility of it not being what I think it was he did.

"I had to or they would've died. They were in so much pain and I knew the only way to help them. I just……..i couldn’t just have let them just die that why Ruby i couldn’t" he said to himself again

'They' i thought

"They were going to die. I had to."

"Please tell me you didn't turn them?" I asked, looking at him. Him still staring at me, he only nodded his head. Knowing he wasn't lying, especially not about this. I couldn't change what had happened to them. So I only sat down next to Lucian. Thinking of what to do next with the information I had gotten. I looked at the book I was previously reading and looked back at Lucian.

"What are their names?" i asked

He looked at me as if he was relieved at what I said, which should be an understatement to be at least.

'What she's not mad at me or disappointed'. Yes I'm disappointed in him, but what's done has been written on the pages with ink ,can't change that now. The future for them has already been planned out for them. I can’t go back and change that for them. I at least want to know who they are.

"Their names are Janet and Adam."

"Adam and Janet." I repeated their names to remember it. And to see how their name would feel on my tongue. Looks like we'll have more people in our growing family. More people to get to know and share our life together. I just hope that they understand that it takes time for me to trust someone. My trust can easily be taken for granted as fast as it was given. Taking a minute to take everything in, finally I looked at Lucian, I asked.

"When will I be able to meet them?"
