Chapter Two

Two weeks in and I’ve never been more anxious in my life Today is the day I get to talk to Gwen

Talking to girls isn’t usually hard but Gwen isn’t that much of a Chatty patty(Aside the fact she’s a vampire) so that means I have to be the one doing the talking, I’ve worked out a strategy that is definitely going to work but this stupid math class won’t just end.

During recess I saw her reading a book under the shade of a tree Twilight, isn’t that a little bit too cliche  “Hi , my name is Daemon and I’m interested in fantasy novels too” she looked up and gave a small smile great start.

“Well, well, well if it isn’t the loud mouth new kid” well not the reply I was hoping for“My name is Gwen and I don’t like fantasy novels only the cliche ones”

“Twilight is a great love story only without Jake though” she laughed really hard before she replied “Now that’s quite ironic coming from a werewolf” WAIT WHAT!!“how did you-“ “You werewolves are so easy to smell cause you stink up the place with your scent” she caught me neatly with that one but I’m not going to lose “And you vampires are always so lonely because you’re scared you’ll feed on your human friends “

Okay, that was a low blow but she was trying to be smart “Kelly was right when he called you a loudmouth” the tone she used told me everything about her mood right now “ I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to say that”  “ it’s okay, I guess I pushed you too far.....but you know we shouldn’t be having this conversation” Here we go again with the Vampires are not allowed to come in contact with werewolves talk.

“ I know about the laws but I’m new here and I need some answers, I sensed danger the first day I came here.... I don’t know how to explain it but it set my teeth on edge” she looked left and right before beckoning for me to sit beside her on the grass.

  “This town is overrun with supernaturals from werewolves and vampires to demons and witches, the werewolves and vampires have a treaty never to attack each other’s territory but the other supernaturals are lawless....The hunters are the ones who were supposed to protect the people from the demons and rogue vampires/werewolves but they got corrupted and they turned against everyone they were supposed to protect, they are in alliance with the demons and a group of rogue vampires”  This was a lot to take in at once so she said she would talk to me after closing time.

I met her at the parking lot waiting for her dad to come pick her up, welcomed me with a small smile and continued her story in low tones. Apparently the hunters are humans with super cool weapons and tech designed to kill any supernatural , they were created to protect the lives of the peaceful supernaturals living in this town but their minds got corrupted by a demon called “Verktout”  He has other minions as well which are some rogue vampires and demons, with them he plans to take over the whole city and feed on any humans left behind. He has taken over the vampire territory and the werewolves territory is all that’s left “That’s why I live close to your house, we managed to escape to your territory when Verktoutstarted the purge, A lot of vampires were killed and some surrendered to Verktout the werewolves territory is larger in size and power so He needs enough firepower to start his attack Ask your uncle he’ll tell you more about it. Bye!” She waved as she ran towards her dads car. Things can’t get any better right?

After 39 minutes of angry waiting my uncle finally showed up in his convertible impala, I had a ton of important questions to ask him like “how is Gwen able to come out during day time?” Good work brain My uncle laughed then said “Because she is a day walker a special breed of vampires who can walk under the sun without any harm, this ability makes she and her mother important to Verktout because they are the only day walkers alive”.

So that’s why her dad picks her up late huh interesting...”Why did my dad send me here?” His face hardened as soon as I finished my question.

“There’s a bloody war happening in your city between vampires and werewolves so your father thought it was safer to send you here where the treaty is still acknowledged”

“He doesn’t think I’m strong enough to protect myself?”  My uncle sighed “You need to understand he did it for your safety” As if here is any safer.

“it’s the same thing I’m saying, if he had deemed me strong enough I would have been fighting by his side right now instead of hiding in this stupid town like a coward!!” My uncle drove on in silence, it seems my outburst spoilt the mood of the evening.... I know I should apologize but he’s not my Alpha
