"Angel!" Chloe yelled, snapping her back to reality.

"Are you okay?" Chloe asked, worried. She had called her name several times, but she didn’t respond—not until she yelled her name.

"Sorry, I’ll be right back." Angel said as she quickly leapt to her feet and dashed out. She needed to leave there before she lost control. What was wrong with her? If Chloe had not yelled her name, she would have lost every ounce of control and fed on that girl in front of the whole school. Chloe was her savior.

She rushed to the restroom in order to calm herself down there, but as she trudged inside, a girl entered right after her and closed the door.

"I know who you are." The girl said this as she inched closer to Angel.

"I know who you are too." Angel retorted. 

"I saw the way you looked at my friend back there. I saw how you craved for her blood. I swear if anything happens to her—" the girl said, making the throat-slitting gesture. "I’ll tear you apart."

"So this is what all this is about, huh?" Angel pressed her lips tightly together. "Does your little friend know that her friend is a predator? And can rip her apart at any moment?"

"I would never hurt her." The girl groaned.

"Good." Angel muttered. "I wouldn’t hurt her either."

The girl was about to respond when a group of girls suddenly started banging on the restroom door.

Trudging to the door, Angel unlocked it and pulled it open.

"What were you both doing in there? Alone?" One of the girls outside asked, and the irritation in her voice was palpable.

Ignoring her, Angel walked past them. She wasn’t in the mood to entertain any drama. She was still hungry.

By the time she got to the classroom, lunch break was already over, and Chloe and Liam were already in the class.

"Where did you rush to without even finishing your lunch? You never finish it anyway, but where did you rush to?" Chloe asked, her voice filled with concern.

She scratched her temple, thinking of what lie to tell.

"I was pressed. I had to poo," she said when she finally came up with one.

"Ewww." Chloe scrunched up her face as she held her nose. "That’s the reason why I’ve been perceiving a bad odor since you came in.”

She chuckled softly. "Come on, Chloe."

One of their classmates, James, suddenly appeared in front of them. "Angel and Chloe. I’m hosting a party at my house tonight; my parents are out of town. Wanna come?" He asked. 

 "Yes!" Chloe beamed. 

"No." Angel declined the invitation.

"We’ll come." Chloe quickly said.

"Alright cool.. I would be expecting you." James said before dashing out.

Angel rolled her eyes. "I’m not going."

"Come on, it’s going to be fun." Chloe pouted. 

"You can go with Liam; I am not going." Angel said sternly. 

They argued about it for a while before the teacher entered the class, bringing an end to the argument.

Angel’s father, Jake, was sitting in the living room, watching a movie on the television, when she returned home after school.

"Good afternoon, Dad." She greeted

as she sauntered inside the house.

"When last did you eat?" Was the first question her dad threw at her. He had noticed how pale she looked.

"I ate at school and—" She started, but he cut her off.

"You know that’s not what I’m talking about."

"My bl.." she trailed off when Taylor walked inside the living room. He may be her brother, but he didn’t know her secret. "It has finished." She continued. 

Jake sighed. "You should always let me know when it finishes. I’ll go and get it for you."

 "Dad!" Taylor whined. "What do you always get for Angel that you don't get for me?"

Angel flicked her gaze at him and barked. "It’s none of your business."

"Hey, go easy on your brother." Jake muttered, then darted his gaze at Taylor. "I’ll get something for you too. What do you want?"

"Forget!" Taylor groaned as he started ascending the staircase. He really wanted to know what their dad always got for Angel. He hated that they always kept him in the dark.

Blowing out a breath, Jake leapt to his feet. "I’ll be right back." He told Angel before dashing out of the house.

Jake returned an hour later with a gallon filled with cattle’s blood that he got from the butcher’s shop. He went straight to Angel’s room and knocked on the door.

"Come in," Angel said, and he pushed the door open immediately.

"Here it is." He said this as he trudged to where her bedside refrigerator was situated and put the gallon inside.

"Thank you, Daddy." She muttered. 

"Please let me know whenever it finishes. You shouldn’t wait for me to ask and starve yourself." Jake told her, his gaze fixed on her.

"You know what would happen if you starved for too long."

Of course she knew, as evidenced by how she almost lost control of herself at school.

Nodding her head, she replied. "I would let you know when it finishes."

"Good." Jake said, and he dashed out of her room.

After he left, she quickly opened her refrigerator, pulled the gallon out, and gulped some blood.

Her skin color was slowly restored, and she felt alive once again. She didn’t realize how hungry she was until she ate. Damn! She hated her life. She hated that she was not normal; she hated the fact that she had to survive on blood.

Her phone suddenly rang, and upon picking it up, Chloe’s name flashed on the screen.

"Bitch!" Chloe yelled when she picked up the call.

"What’s up, Chloe?" She muttered. 

"Angel, please. Damon would be at James’s party, and I would like you to meet him. Please." Chloe pleaded. 

"Okay," Angel said.

"Okay? Okay, as in, you would come?" Chloe asked, surprised. She didn’t expect her to give in just like that. Angel has always been the kind of person who doesn’t change her mind easily.

"Yes Chloe. See you soon." She said and ended the call.

Leaping to her feet, she made her way to the living room where her dad was, to ask for permission.

"Dad, can I go to Chloe’s house? There’s an assignment we have to do together." She lied.

She knew her father wouldn’t allow her to go to a party because a lot of things could possibly go wrong.

"Yes, you can go, but be sure to come back early." He permitted her.

A smile touched her lips. "Sure." 

….

By the time Angel got to James’s house, it was already filled up with teenagers playing truth or dare; some were playing other games; and some of them were just drinking and making out.

She navigated her way through the crowd to find Chloe. After a few minutes of searching, she found herself sitting on a guy’s lap on the couch.

The second she locked eyes with the guy, she knew in an instant that he wasn’t human. What was Chloe doing with a vampire?

"Who is he?" Was the first question Angel shot at Chloe when she got to where they were.

Chloe placed a kiss on his forehead. "This is Damon, the guy I told you about."

Angel furrowed her brows. "Damon?!" She exclaimed. 

"Yes, Damon," Chloe said, then darted her gaze at Damon. "Meet my best friend, Angel."

No, this can’t be. Chloe can’t be with a vampire. Angel panicked. Vampires want nothing else to do with humans other than feed on them.

    Damon stretched his hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you."Angel didn’t take his hand. She only stood there and glared at him.Chloe felt embarrassed by her action, so she tried to lighten up the mood. "Let’s play cup pong." She quickly said this as she leapt to her feet.Without giving them the chance to protest, she held their hands and forced them to where it was being played.After playing for a while, Damon suddenly excused himself and told Chloe that he was going out for fresh air.A perfect opportunity to confront him, Angel thought as she followed him outside.The second they were outside, she kicked his leg, causing him to stop walking."What do you want with my friend?

    It was 12 a.m., midnight, and Angel hadn’t returned. Jake had been dialing her phone number for a while now, and she had not been picking up his call.

Emily asked, concerned, as she descended the staircase.He blew out a sharp breath. He had been hiding the fact that Angel wasn’t home from her because he didn’t want her to worry.

"She asked me if she could go to Chloe’s, and I agreed to it." Jake told her. "Did she tell you she wanted to sleep over?" She quickly asked. "You know, I would

He wanted to contact Chloe and tell her what had happened to Angel, but he stopped himself from doing so because that would only cause his identity as well as Angel’s to be revealed. Driven by curiosity and after giving it so much thought, he decided to go back to the woods and check what had happened there. He took off, and with his vampire speed, he was able to get there in no time.The sight that greeted him was devastating.

    Confusion spread across Emily’s face as she asked. "Know what?"“Who are the people who tried to kill me?" Angel asked, her gaze fixed on her mother."I don't know what—" Emily trailed off and cast a quick glance at Jake. "What is she talking about?"He took his hand to his temple and scratched it as he replied to her. "Elijah and Delia."Fear gripped her at the mention of those two names. The names of the people who turned her Angel into a vampire. Those were the names she never wanted to hear again, but they were back, trying to kill her daughter as if turning into a vampire wasn’t enough."Who are they?" Angel asked, her gaze darting between her mom and dad. "Why are you refusing to tell me?" Her gaze was now fixed on her dad. "Why did they turn me into a vampire the night I was born?" She asked.Jake blew out a sharp breath. "Angel, we’ll explain it to you when the time is right.""No!" She exclaimed, raising her voice as she demanded, "I need to know now!"She needed to know ever

    The following day, Angel went to school, refusing to let herself be confined within the walls of the house as her parents had suggested. They wanted her to stay back at home, as they feared that Elijah and Delia would show up and attempt to kill her again. As much as she was afraid of going through that terrifying encounter again, she wasn’t going to stay back and forever hide from them like a coward. So, sliding the protective ring Jake obtained from Seraphina onto her finger, she made her way to school."Angel." She heard Chloe yell the second she alighted from the school bus, and she swung her head to the side to see her running towards her."Oh my God. Thank Jesus, you are safe." Chloe said as she stopped before her and leaned forward, resting her palms on her knees, as she tried to catch her breath from the small run she just had.Before Angel could reply, she straightened back up and smacked her on the shoulder.

Before she could reach the door, Chloe caught up with her and gripped her wrist, causing her to stop in her tracks.Angel turned to look at her and raised her brow. "What?""I’m sorry."

She couldn’t have her brother know that she was a vampire.So, moving at super speed, she closed the gap between them and placed both hands on his shoulders.He let out another screeching scream, his eyes widening with horror as he attempted to get to his heels.But Angel was quick to hold him still, staring intently into his eyes as she executed what she practiced with Damon.“You didn’t see anything. I wasn’t drinking blood. You didn’t see me move at super speed. Now, go." Taylor blinked twice, and the fear on his face quickly faded, indicating that the compulsion had worked.“What are your hands doing on my shoulders?” He quickly yanked her hands off.She let out a sigh of relief.

    The vampire hunters were already close. So close that it was too late to run. So they had only one option left. To hide. With their vampire speed, they hopped on a tree and stayed still as the vampire hunters came to a stop beneath them. They were two. A man and a woman.“Their attacks have increased recently. And this wood has been their latest target." The man muttered.“Those motherfu—“ The woman started but trailed off as her eyes caught sight of a dead deer. “Is that a deer?”“Yes, it is.” He said, confirming her guess.“I think a vampire was here. We need to look for that thing.” The woman said with urgency as she slipped out her gun.He shook his head slightly. “It would have been long gone. We’ve already searched everywhere in this wood, and there are no traces of them.”“I swear to God, I’ll make sure every single one of them is destroyed.” She groaned. “Hunting shadows—“ The man started reciting their slogan, and the woman joined."Wielding stakes, protecting humanity agai
