Chapter 4

Episode 4

Sarah stared long at the ceiling of the bedroom she was in, one she had yet to get used go, her back laid against the bed. Thinking back to all what James, told her earlier. All not making sense to her. Especially her being a, Dhampir. A vampire Slayer (Dhampir). Unique but rare race of creatures, believed to be stronger than vampires. They feed on vampire blood at times, but most get stronger, depending on the number of vampires killed by them. They were like the balance of nature, keeping the Vampires in check. She didn't believe she was one though, she lacked anything special. She had no speed, or super strength. She was an average human. 

A knock to the door of the medium size bedroom disrupted her thoughts. A few seconds later, the door slowly opened, and an average height lady, with pink hair, clad in a black knicker and a black sleeveless top walked in. 

Sarah suddenly sat upright, cautious of the unfamiliar face. 

"Calm down. I mean no harm." She cooed. "The name is Bella, I'm also part of the Ragon family"

"The more reason I should be worried!" Sarah said. 

"Well..." Bella trailed off. 

"I was sent to inform you, it's dinner time. All family members eat dinner together, every Friday...and today is Friday!" Bella informed.

"I Finally get to Meet the man that adopted me!" Sarah replied, standing up from the bed. She followed behind Bella, as they walked down the long hallway, passing several other bedroom doors. The silence lingering among them, only thing that could be heard was the heavy footsteps of Sarah. While it seems like Bella wasn't even stepping the ground, due to the fact that no sound was made as she moved. Stealth!

"You a demon too?" Sarah asked.

"Yes. A young one."

"Is everyone in this family a demon?" Sarah gulped.

"No!" Bella replied. "It's complicated. As times goes, you will understand."

They got to the dining room, and seated at both sides of the dining table filled with several assorted meals were 4 members in total. While the seat at the centre, meant for the head of the family was yet to be sat on. 

All members seating were males, that Sarah made sure to note. She saw no familiar face, but strikingly handsome ones though. All looking exactly like the same age bracket, a few years older than her. 

All eyes turned towards her and Bella as they arrived at the dining table.

"Wow, wow wow! What do we have here." One of  them, seated at the right side of the table half shouted in excitement. "One hell of a beauty we have here!"

"Shut up Troy!" Bella said. "That's what you say to every new lady you come across. Pervert!" 

"Don't mind her. She is just a joy killer." Troy smiled gracefully at her, and in the next second he was by Sarah's side. Strands of her hair flew at his face, from the wind gathered from his fast paced motion. He grabbed a few strands, placing it below his nose, as he sniffed it.

"Lavender!" He commented. "U smell nice." 

"Uhmm." Sarah mumbled, " Thanks I guess."

"Come take your seat now!" The one that sat beside Troy said authoritatively. 

"What you going do if I don't?" Troy replied, more like a dare.

"I'm gonna spank you hard, like the big brother I am!" 

"You do know the consequences of that right now. Father hates dinner fights!" 

"Then seat your ass over here right now, before I break the rule!"

"No!" Troy smirked.

"Oh yes! Dinner fights!" The other family member sitting next to Sarah squealed excitedly. 

Troy's body smacked hard unto the wall, though the force was not enough to break it. 

"Stop this Kyle!" Bella yelled, from where she sat.

Troy recovered in an instant, and smacked his body against Kyle's own. Both tumbled over, and broke the large dining table.

"Shit!" Sarah screamed, moving backwards real quick. 

Kyle slammed both his feet against Troy's chest, kicking him away from where Troy laid on top of him. Kyle grabbed a chicken leg and threw it at Troy. The latter dodged, and grabbed a piece of boiled egg and smashed it on Kyle's face. Smearing the yellow York of the egg on his chin. 

Sarah's eyes opened wide, as she saw the bony part of the chicken leg Kyle threw earlier stick to the wall like a knife to a cake. 

That move could kill any human being. 

Kyle jumped up and swung on the chandelier, and then flipped himself over towards Troy, his knees hitting Troy hard  on the jaw. Troy fell to the ground pinned down by Kyle. The former struggled to free himself, all to no avail.

"What is going on here!!" They all heard an aged but familiar masculine voice shout. All froze apart from Sarah, as they knew they were in deep trouble. 

Kyle immediately stood up, pulling Troy up too by the hair. 

Sarah stared at the middle aged man, standing strong, with a black walking stick in his right hand. While James, clad in a new suit collection stood smiling behind him.  

"Tell me what happened here Drake!" The middle aged man commanded.

"Kyle and Troy were at it again. Showing of to the new girl!" Drake ratted out.

"Show off uhn!" The middle aged man frowned, gazing at Kyle and Tory, who were gazing scornfully at Drake. 

"Seems it's been long you received punishments right?" 

Both didn't respond, keeping their eyes glued to the ground. 

"I...." The man got interrupted by the sudden open of a massive door at the end of the dining room. A man wearing a white shirt and black trouser, walked in. He bowed first, before speaking. 

"There's someone asking to see you sir!"

"Who?"

"His name is Abel!" The servant replied.

"Abel?" The man asked, surprised. "Let him in!"

"I'm in already Ray!" Abel replied, sitting down comfortably on the centre seat meant for the head of the family, the seat meant for Ray, both legs crossed on each other. 

All of them turned towards him, and their eyes flashed red, in deep animosity.

"You graceless creature. What are you doing here?" Kyle said. 

Sarah didn't quite grab what was going on, until a sweet scent hit her nostrils. Her eyes suddenly flashed yellow color, and her body moved not on her own accord, as it launched at Where Abel sat. She didn't quite understand what was going on, as she couldn't control her body movements. All she knew was her body attracted to his like a metal to a magnet. Abel for the first time in a century, got caught unawares as his body smacked to the ground hard. Sarah's palms wrapped around Abel's neck, with an unwilling determination to end his time in land of the living. Abel felt no pain, but was still recovering from the shock of not seeing something that fast move at him. Like they was someone still alive that moved faster than him, a 1000year old vampire. 

'Who was she?' He thought to himself.

Her eyes glowed yellow once more, and this time Abel saw it. He got infuriated and slapped her away from the top of his body.

"What are you keeping in your house Ray? A Dhampir!!" Abel yelled angrily, standing up in an instant. 

Sarah laid there on the ground unconscious from the slight slap she received from Abel...
