Chapter 13

It looks like the human blood was working. Tanya was not able to suppress the vampire inside of her anymore. After she burst into the classroom she pulled Jane into her arms. After a few minutes in that position, she pulled away and looked into Jane's eyes.

JANE POV

I was sitting in class, Alec wasn't there. Everything was OK so far but then after the announcement played on the loudspeaker, the humans all stood up and started rushing out. I was fine until they started bumping into me. They shoved me around I was already off balance but this made it worse. They were everywhere and all at once, their touch caused me pain. It wasn't physical but it hurt non the less. I couldn't breathe, I didn't need to but I was hyperventilating. I ran to the back of the class at vampire speed not caring whether or not they noticed, they didn't. Too absorbed in leaving the class and school before the principal changed his mind. I backed myself into the corner and I was lost in my memories.

Flashback

Father was not home yet. Alec and I had cleaned cooked and started a fire so that when he comes back he doesn't have more reasons to hit us. I smelt it first, thick smoke in the air so I asked Alec if he could also smell it and the look of pure terror on his face when he realised that someone had set the house on fire was more than enough to jolt me into action. In a matter of minutes, the house was filled with smoke, we had been trying to save fathers things because he would have been really angry if we didn't. We crawled out of the flaming house only to be met with an angry mob.

They were everywhere. We didn't even get a chance to run when they grabbed us. Many hands beat us, they spat on us and cursed us. I couldn't take it anymore and then my vision faded into blackness. Passed out because of the pain. When I came to, Alec and I were tied onto posts and the wood all over the bottom. They were going to burn us alive. The entire village was out to watch, women, men and children all there to witness.  I hurt all over my one eye was swollen shut. I turned to my brother and he was bleeding from his head and abdomen. He was still unconscious. I looked forward to the crowd and I saw them hand a torch to father. He didn't even hesitate he threw it on the wood by our feet and it caught fire, accelerant. Then the screams started. I closed my eyes waiting for my death but when I felt a cool hand touch me, I opened my eyes

I looked at my saviour and I could believe my eyes, I was in Tanya's arms, she was whispering in my ear. Begging me to come back, to calm down. To listen to her voice.

"Tanya? " I whispered
