They’re Twins

Tara's POV

It was all lies. All the stories were false. The myths about how turning into a vampire was filled with exquisite agony.

I felt nothing but darkness. Then it happened. I began to relive my past. My past with Jake. It was one of the memories I had forgotten... I had forgotten most of it.

It was second to my parents death. It would take a while for me to be able to relive everything.

I still haven't accepted the fact that they're gone.

I remembered the first time I saw Jake. I was thirteen but now I'm sixteen.

Flashback (three years ago)

"But mom, what if he rips my head off and eats my brains. My precious brains." I whined.

I couldn't stay a month with the prince. I hadn't seen him yet because the day I went to the vampire palace, his pompous ass decided not to show up.

Now my mother and father want me to stay a month with them. I am terrified. I've heard so many stories about how they torture witches.

They beat you up, rip out your eyes and drink you dry. Then they grind your bones as dessert.

How could I stay a month with such vile creatures. I will die. I just can't go.

"Honey get up and get in the car. You're going. We need to make peace or else we'll all die. Do it for your people. One day..." I cut her off.

"Mom, I will definitely die but I want to go to the ancestors in one piece not in pieces. I will not go." I said and stomped my feet.

She raised her eyebrows and I placed my hands on my hips. I love my parents but I'm terrified.

What if the stories are true? I don't wanna die such a cruel death.

An hour later.

I can't believe they teleported me here. I stood at the gate of the vampire palace. It was so huge if they asked me to reach the top, it might take a couple of thousand years.

I stood there and waited. I was scared to touch anything. What if it's poisoned with something against witches.

I may be exaggerating but its me so its cool.

A boy about my age opened the door. He had unruly black hair, mischievous deep sea blue eyes which I couldn't help but admire.

He was so good looking. He had on a plain white shirt with a black jacket and jeans. His sneakers were to die for.

Before you judge, I'm thirteen. I notice stuff. He looked at me and suddenly he changed. He looked bored and I didn't blame him.

I was just a plain Jane after all.

He walked towards me and I could tell he was the prince. That was when the paranoia kicked in.

I held my breath when he neared me.

"Who the fuck are you?" He asked. His voice was cold.

"H-hi. I-i'm Tara. I'm here to stay for a month. You must be Jake, the prince." I stuttered.

Please don't eat me. Don't eat me!!!

"Oh, how about I give you a proper welcome" he said. I smiled and he smirked.

I should've seen the bag in his hand. He threw it at me and warm liquid splashed on me. I opened my eyes to see blood.

I screamed so hard that everyone came out. Including the King and Queen.

They helped me to get clean and settled in. Jake ran away with a speed I had never seen before.

I had already decided I hated him and was going to avoid him.

I barely saw him on the first week but he made sure I knew he was there. He glued my hair together, poured paint on me, broke my trinket and destroyed my paintings.

In that week I skipped food so that I didn't have to see him. He hated me for no reason and I hated and feared him.

So far I spent two weeks in the great library reading about vampires. All the stories about the ripping of eyes and the grinding of bones were false.

I woke up on the first day of the third week just to see him. I screamed and he covered my mouth.

"Meet me at the library at 6:00. Don't be late." He commanded and disappeared.

After that everything was a blur. Jake and I had fun, got to know each other. I got drunk(for the first time), I drank blood, Jake drank my blood  and it was weirdly soothing and calm and the worst happened.

My hair turned white and my eyes got stars in them after I drank his blood.  I was so scared. I didn't know what was happening. In the end i was okay. Jake handled everything.

Jake and I searched the library and I learnt that I had the ability to shape shift. I tried so many times before my hair turned blonde and my eyes turned green.

The stars never disappeared. I don't know why though?

I was so happy that I finally had a talent that no one else had. I felt important and special.

I thought he would tell but he decided not to tell. So I made a spell after he left cause we found out that my powers didn't work when he was around.

Not that I had cool powers or anything. Jake and I got close. Sure he kept pranking me, annoying me, making me cry and making fun of me but we got close.

He was the closest thing I'd ever had to a friend. The Sunday that I left destroyed my memories. He stole my first kiss and all my hatred came back.

It's why I hate Sundays.

End of flashback

I woke up at midnight. I felt weak. Jake wasn't here. When I got to the bed's edge my heart broke. Jake lay on the floor. I got off the bed and straddled his waist.

"Please wake up. What's wrong?" I asked as I tried not to cry but the tears had already fallen. I just lost my parents and I can't lose Jake.

Not him. When he opened his eyes they were pale. They weren't mischievous or intense.

"Jake what's wrong?" I asked softly. "I'm fine." He said and shrugged like it was nothing.

It wasn't nothing. He looked so weak and in pain and paler than normal.

"Please tell me. I just lost my parents. You're the only one I have in my life. I can't lose you." I begged.

And it was true. I had no one left. My vampire half step sister Elena, hates me.

Braeden can't even stand my face and my grandma says I don't exist to her any more so I only have Jake.

He is the only one I have left. And I'm not gonna lose him. Wow, never thought I'd say that in my life about Jake.

"I'm fine I just haven't fed in a while." His voice cracked at the end. That's when it hit me. If he feeds he'll be okay.

I moved my hair to one side and leaned closer with my bare neck close to his mouth. "Feed." I said softly.

I know its crazy that I'm offering him blood but as much as I hate to admit it I care about him. And he's changed from the mischievous thirteen year old prick I knew.

He held my shoulders and pushed me back so he could face me. I ignored the electricity passing through my arms as he touched me. He smelt like chocolate. Like Nutella!!!

I stared into his eyes. They were such a deep sea blue.

It was mesmerizing and intense. Like a sea. And I was scared of going under cause I might never wanna come back up for air.

I broke his intense gaze."I can't. I might hurt you. You're still weak." He said. I could hear the concern in his voice. He wasn't faking it.

"You've done a lot for me as much as I hate to admit but please just feed. I lost my parents and I can't lose you knowing I can help."

My eyes pooled with tears as I talked about my parents. That seemed to shut him up.

Jake's POV

"I'm fine. I just haven't fed in a while." I said. I couldn't get over the fact that she was sitting on me. She smelt like strawberries.

There was so much care in her eyes. I wanted to kiss her senseless then and there but I couldn't. And it hurt.

She moved her hair away and bared her neck for me.

"Feed." She said. I could smell her scent, invading my senses.

She smelt like strawberries. It was so good and divine. But I couldn't feed. I was so hungry that I might hurt her. I can't hurt her.

I grabbed her shoulders and pushed her back so she could face me whilst I ignored the electricity moving from her skin to mine.

"I can't. I might hurt you. You're still weak." I said.

"You've done a lot for me as much as I hate to admit it but please just feed. I lost my parents and I can't lose you knowing I can help." She said as her eyes pooled with tears.

I remember the time I tasted her blood. No blood tasted the same so I barely feed. I feed when the hunger is extreme.

Her blood was so rich, sweet and intoxicating. It made every other blood taste like cardboard.

She leaned closer and I sunk my fangs into her soft neck. It wasn't enough. I wanted more. My hunger was gone but I wanted more.

Her blood tasted better than I remembered. It was so intoxicating. It was like a drug and I wanted more.

I flipped us over and lay on top of her. She had wrapped her arms around me so tight that even though I didn't want to I stopped.

I didn't want to hurt her.

"Why'd you stop?" She asked. She looked like a kid who'd just been told she couldn't eat her favorite candy.

"I'm okay now and I'm sorry if I hurt you." I said.

"You didn't hurt me. All I felt was pleasure and I want more. Please" she asked.

Well, that made my day. I sunk my fangs back into her and she moaned deeply. It turned me on like crazy.

Tara's POV

I moaned as he sunk his fangs in me. I felt so good and insanely hot. The feeling was much more intense.

Then my fangs came out. I acted on impulse and sunk them into his neck.

Jake moaned deeply and grabbed my waist.

His blood. It was a mixture that I couldn't even begin to describe.

I could taste chocolate and Nutella and caffeine and so many of my favourite foods.

It was so perfect and sweet and I wanted more.

I bit further as Jake moaned harder. It was turning me on. I wanted Jake.

I was going out of my mind. I really wanted Jake. Right then and there.

There was fire everywhere in my body. It was so intense. Jake stopped drinking and close the wound.

I did the same and it closed. I stared in his eyes and he stared at me. I felt hot all over. His eyes hard darkened with lust and desire.

I wanted to... No, Tara focus. You love Jeremy not Jake.

You hate Jake and love Jeremy.

I wanted him off me before I lost control. Whatever feeling I was having for him was not right. I felt like I was betraying Jeremy.

Although some part of me didn't care. I cleared my head.

"Are you..." I never got to finish my sentence. Jake kissed me.

Oh my God!!!  My thoughts flew out the window.

I had never felt anything like this. It was so intense and overwhelming. I froze before I kissed him back.

He tasted like the sea, the rain and Nutella. He smelled like the sea and the rain. It was thrilling and hot as the tingles spread to every part of my body.

I tangled my hands in his hair as he moved his hands from my shoulders to my body. He caressed me everywhere as I moaned at the feel of his hands.

He bit my lip and begged for entrance but I denied. His lips travelled down my cheeks to my neck.

I moaned and gripped him as he sucked on my skin. I had kissed Jeremy before but it was nothing like this.

"If you want me to stop tell me" he said. His hand slid under my shirt and moved to my warm flesh. It was too much.

I was so conflicted between Jake and Jeremy. Everything was so heightened and intense.

"Jake, stop" I said. He froze before getting off me. I felt bare and missed his warmth. He pulled me up.

My cheeks were flushed and I was blushing furiously but he couldn't see. The light was a bit dim.

"Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" He asked.

I shook my head and asked the million dollar question.

"Why'd you kiss me?" I asked. I stopped breathing as I waited for his answer.

His eyes glowed with mischievousness as he smirked. Annoying and cocky Jake was back.

"You owed me a kiss remember? Now go wash up. You can wear my clothes. We'll get you some tomorrow." He said.

My heart sunk for no reason as I headed to the room he said was the bathroom. I felt sad and disappointed but I pushed it away.

After all it was Jeremy I loved not Jake. When I came out after a warm shower, Jake was asleep on the bed. He looked so cute.

Ugh, what is happening to me. I rolled my eyes and went to his closet. I changed into his boxers and a white shirt which reached mid thigh.

I jumped unto the bed and crawled closer to Jake. I placed my head on his chest and my arm over his torso.

It was weird but I wanted to be close to him and the fact scared me. I couldn't have feelings like this for him.

He wrapped his arm around my waist and i smiled. "Goodnight, Tar" he said.

I rolled my eyes and smiled against his skin. I fell asleep listening to his heart beat.

I woke to the sound of a loud banging on the door. I wanted Jake to go and check but he had childishly covered his ears with a pillow.

Well, I felt lazy so I did the best I could. I pushed him off the bed. The look on his face was priceless.

I laughed till I had tears in my eyes. The banging had stopped when I began laughing.

He moved so fast that the next thing I knew he was on top of me. No, not again. This can't he happening. He leaned closer and just as our lips were about to meet the door burst open.

"Get the fuck off her." It was Jeremy. He looked so good and edible.

What was he doing here? Then it hit me. He might think that Jake and I... I tried to push away but Jake gripped my waist tighter.

I ignored the tingles of fire and electricity. Jake smirked. "Or else what? You're gonna tell dad I'm with her?" He taunted.

Hold the fuck up. Dad? What are they talking about? Jeremy's fists were clenched and I could see he was angry.

"Just get off her. She's off limits." He said. Was he jealous? Did that mean he liked me?

"She's not your girlfriend so we can do whatever we want. Go back to her whore of a sister and have fun brother" he said.

I winced when he said that. It hurts that the love of my love was with my half step sister,Elena.

"Brother? Why are you calling him brother? How did you know I was here?" I asked.

Jake sighed and got off the bed to stand by Jeremy. I ignored the burning sensation to compare their looks.

"Well, we're both vampire princes. We're the twins. He's my younger brother" Jake said.

I'm sure you're wondering what I did. I laughed. It sounded so stupid. They couldn't be twins or even brothers.

They were polar opposites. Jeremy was handsome, sweet, a playboy, romantic, had manners and cared about people.

Jake was much more handsome, impolite, cocky,rude,fun,didn't care about anyone other than his mom,gentle,patient with me,best kisser ever and have I

mentioned very hot.

Okay I was expecting a different result when i listed their characters. Seriously what is happening to me. How come Jake got better traits than Jeremy.

What is he doing to me? My biased opinions should be in favour of Jeremy not Jake.

I looked at them and they looked serious."We're the Ashe twins. Jake Grayson Ashe and Jeremy Jay Ashe" Jeremy said.

So they weren't kidding.

Holy shit!!! By all things chocolate.

They're Twins!!
