2 Chapter 2: The Hybrid and The Vampire.

Lilac began to wake up on a very furry warm bed, a wet cloth over her forehead. "The hell happened?... Second of all.. Whose bed is this.. Its so furry.. Its quite comfy". Nevark was in the chair across the room with a book, "I'm so glad you enjoy the bed, did you have a good rest?".

Lilac looked over at him, quickly sitting up as the cloth fell off her head, " You! Don't touch me! You are weird just like your brother!". Nevark closed the book and looked over at her.

"If you honestly think I'm going to kill you, maybe you should take another nap. I would have killed you when you arrived. You just woke up from fainting a few moments ago so I will not explain my brother and I until you calm down and willing to cooperate." He got up, walking with his book out of the room and closing the doors behind him.

Lilac sat there in confusion, "Explain? And calm down? I am calm!" Lilac began talking to herself in question of the two men she had just met. A servant walked in with a bed tray for Lilac, "Your supper, ma'am.".

The servant places it on top of her legs and walks out, closing the doors behind her. Lilac stared at the food and went wide eyed, "Rice and Eggs?! Red roses and water... Maybe they aren't dangerous... Just a nibble..", Teray walked in her room noticing her finishing her meal, "For a girl you really can eat!" He was so shocked.

Lilac choked on the last bit of rice and began to cough, "Don't just walk in on a girl, idiot!". Teray laughed and leaned against the doorway, "This is my house, did you forget?". Lilac looked away and moved the bed tray to the side and got up, looking around.

"I know where I am! Your brother wants me calm and he wants to explain something to me, where is he?", Teray got pushed out of the way by Nevark as soon as he heard his name, "I'm here, now are you sure you can handle the information? You cannot tell another soul."

Lilac sat back down, "Why would I tell anyone?". Teray's eyes turned from light blue to bright red with fangs coming out. Nevarks eyes were a cold but warm feeling of gold, a long black tail began to sway behind him.

Lilac stared at them both, "Wh... Werewolf and a Vampire?" Lilac sat in confusion and fear. Nevarks eyes turned back to normal dark red and his tail disappeared as well as Terays eyes went back to normal. "Yes, Teray is a Vampire but as for me, I am a hybrid. I am half vampire and half werewolf, do not be frightened. We are here to protect you, Lilac."

Lilac pondered in confusion, "Wait what? Okay.. How do you know me and why are you protecting me?". Nevark looked over at her and sighed, "We were born to protect you, Lilac. Your mother and father were our leaders and when you were born you became our mission..".

Teray walks closer towards her, "Lilac we spent years finding you.. And might I say you turned out to be very delicious--" at the last of Teray's words, he was hit on the head by Nevark and his words followed on after. "Do not listen to him... He has not fully understood his cravings just yet. Do you understand clearly, Lilac?"

Lilac looked up at them both in confusion still, "Uhhh... No. What is there to protect me from? Demons and ghosts?" She followed with a nervous laugh and a shrug. Nevark nodded and spoke with a warm smile, "Exactly that. You will understand in time, dear. For now you will be with one of us at your school and at your home."

Lilac's eyes widened and her face went bright red, "Ex...excuse me? At my home?! Nope! No way! That's private!!" She replied with a defensive but embarrassed tone. Teray noticed how embarrassed she was and began to burst in laughter, "Sorry pumpkin. We have already signed a contract. I will take you home when you request it." Nevark waited for Teray to walk out, closing the door behind them and their footsteps disappear down the hall.

Lilac laid back and sighed in annoyance. "Why me.. What is it that's so important! I'm just a highschool student..". A few moments later she had gotten a text from Kirai, "Ugh... Here we go...". She unlocked her phone, going into her messages and reading the message from Kirai.

" 4:39pm: LILAC!! YOU LEFT ME AT SCHOOL!! 😩😤 You owe me a whole weekend of watching anime!!"

" 4:41pm: Yes I still love you... Just make sure you don't get taken away next time! 😥"

Lilac smiled and then sighed in boredom, "Oh Kirai... You are such a bossy friend, how can I keep you in the dark like this.. For god knows how long..". She sat there pondering until her phone vibrated in her hand, the alarm on her phone was telling her it was time to go down to the bookstore for the new book she was waiting so long for. "AH! I'm late! I'm so late!!".

Nevark rushed in as well as Teray both of them saying the same exact thing. "What happened?! Are you okay?!", Lilac looked at them with worry. "I'm late to buying this book I was really excited to read..", Teray slumped over and looked unhappy, "I stopped my drink for this?", said while walking down the hallway. Nevark looked at her and smiled softly, " How about I take you? We can go and get it and I will take you home?", Lilac looked over at him and then her phone.

At the bookstore, a crowd of people were lining up from inside and out as Lilac and Nevark arrived there. Lilac went wide eyed, shocked to see how many people there were. "Why so many people?!", Nevark heard Lilac's heart beat so fast he was unable to count them all. "I'm going to guess you don't exactly like people, Lilac..", she shook her head slowly and began to shake before Nevark slowly put his hand on top of hers, " Hey.. I'll go in with you, if that will make you feel better?". Lilac looked down at his warm gentle hand on top of hers, looking at his eyes as her heart slowed down immediately, "Sure, thank you..".

After waiting almost fifteen minutes, Lilac and Nevark were inside the store and he noticed all the fiction-fantasy novels people had written about werewolves and humans, vampires and humans and all the romance stories. "Your kind really loves our nature in a book huh?" He whispered in Lilac's ear softly as it made her drop the book she was reading, quickly picking it up. Lilac looked up at him, having shivers run down her spine and goosebumps appearing on her arms.

"Ah... Yeah.. It is pretty common I guess." Nevark tried to hold in his laughter from seeing her drop the book, "Well you seem to like it as well.". The book in Lilac's hand was a common Werewolf and Human fiction novel, Lilac gulped and went red in shame.

"Ah... Don't take it the wrong way please...", her heart began to beat fast as Nevark looked at her while listening to her heartbeat, "I won't, I'm just teasing you. Calm down..." He responded with his hand on her head waiting for her heart to slow down, Lilac looked down and her heart began to slow as she felt the warmth of his hand and the affection.

They walked up to the cashier and Lilac's heart sped up again, she started to panic and Nevark began to worry about her state. The cashier smiled at Lilac but began to blush when she saw Nevark, "Hello, what can I do for you?".

Lilac gulps in worry, her mouth trying to open to get a single word out but before she could everything went silent as she felt Nevark's hand glide along her back and the other pulling the book from her hand, smiling to the cashier. "Just this please..", Nevark's voice was so hard to hear and it was almost like a dream.

All of a sudden, they were walking out of the bookstore and Nevark stood in front of her, placing his hands on her cheeks and looking into her eyes. "Lilac.. Lilac.. Are you okay? Lilac?", she looked up at him and everything became clearer, "Y...Yeah? Sorry I... Freaked out.. I'm not good at public speaking..".

Nevark took a deep breath out of relief and giving a warm smile for her talking, " You scared me, I thought you were going to faint or something had happened. You look flushed.. Come on I'll take you home." He walled her to his car as Lilac walked in confusion to what just happened, "Why the hell is my heart beating so fast..".
