Star's POV
I went downstairs. I stopped halfway down the stairs when I heard whispering coming from the backyard.
"Shhh! She'll hear us!" "Let's just do this and leave."
The back door in the kitchen opened slowly and queitly. I heard someone come around the corner, it was Katherine, she was wearing her ripped black jeans, a white tank top, her volleyball shoes, and her hair was curly.
"What are you doing?" I said going down three steps. "Um...uh...I...well...Hey Star!" Katherine said stuttering. I seen her glance into the kitchen.
I looked at the wall, I could make out two figures. Woah! I can see through my own walls! I thought.
I looked back at Katherine, she was still glancing into the kitchen. I walked down the last few steps, and I walked behind Katherine. I glanced at her arm as I walked by, there were swirls and shapes on her left arm.
"Did you get a tattoo?" I said going into the kitchen. I seen Alex, he was standing by the back door. He was in jeans, black vans, and his blue t-shirt. Standing by the sink was Jacob, he was wearing his checkered van shoes, black sweatpants, and a t-shirt with a football on the front.
"Hey Star!" Katherine said again. I looked at her, "Oh save it!" "You look nice," Jacob said. I looked at Jacob and Alex, then I walked to my dining room table and chairs. I sat on the table, everyone looked at me.
I heard a car pull up in my driveway, I heard the engine turn off. The driver and passenger doors opened, then closed shut. "You can hear that?!?!?!" Alex said. I looked at him, "How though?" I said sounding confused.
The doorbell rang.
"I'LL GET IT!!!" Cece said yelling from upstairs. "I'll get it!" she said again running down the stairs. When Cece opened the door, she went back upstairs.
I heard the door close. When I turned to see who was here, it was a man. He was wearing glasses, his eyes were green, his hair was blonde and slicked back. He was wearing black dress pants, dress shoes, and a long sleeve blue dress shirt. He smiled, "Hello everyone, my name is Steve Taylor."
There was a woman, she went by the man, her eyes were blue, her hair was light brown and the tips of her hair was aquamarine. She was wearing a star necklace, she had on blue jeans, combat boots, a white under shirt, and a black jacket on. The woman and I both locked eyes.
"Swim fast, soon you'll grow your tail."
The woman smiled, then she looked at Katherine.
"So, are you my teacher's?" I said still looking at the woman. "Well, we're not school teachers," Steve said looking at the woman who turned to look at him.
I looked at them. "We aren't teachers," the woman said. "They are going to help you," Alex said. "Help me with what?" I said confused. "Do you remember anything from yesterday?" Katherine said.
I looked at Katherine's eyes, then I seen that spark in her eyes. "That spark in your eyes, I think I've seen it before," I said.
"What else do you remember Star?" Steve said sitting in the chair that was close to me. I looked at him, he was rolling up his sleeves. I noticed that he had swirls and shapes, just like Katherine.
"Can you remember anything else?" Alex said going by Katherine. I looked at him, "What are those on you're arms," I said looking down at the floor. "Symbols," the woman said. "I think that we should just tell her," Jacob said standing next to me.
Everyone looked at him.
"What? She's going to find out sooner or later. I mean it's Star! She's really good at finding out about mysterious things. I'd rather tell her than letting her find out about it."
"Jacob's right," Alex said looking at Katherine. Katherine looked at me, then went out the back door.
Katherine looked back at us, then she looked at the woods, there was fur growing on her arms, a big fluffy tail appeared, sharp claws and teeth. The fur was white as snow with some gray on it's tail and paws.
"Wolf?" I said going on to the grass. It turned it's heard, the spark was in it's eyes.
Spark, wolf? Speed? Doctor? Eyes, Blake? I thought.
I felt a gust of wind, my hair blew back, "How...but...," I said sounding confused. Then I thought about it, speed, vampire!
Alex and Jacob both sped past me, their vampires and Katherine's a wolf!
"So...I'm a...vampire?" I said looking back at Steve and the woman. "Yes, and many other things too," Steve said. "But you need to train and remember the symbols," Katherine said walking towards me. "I think I can remember a couple of symbols," I said walking back to the house.
Steve sped past me and sat in the chair. "You might want to sit," the woman said walking towards the table.
Jacob and Alex took a seat, then Katherine. They all looked at me, so I sat in the chair and looked at Steve. He snapped his fingers and a book appeared in front of me.
"Woah!" I said amazed. "Open the book, and look at the first symbol," Steve said.
As I opened the book, there was shapes and swirls. "What is the first symbol called," Steve said. "Vampire." "You are going to learn about them. What do you know about Vampires?" "They drink human blood." Alex and Jacob started to laugh.
I looked at them, "What's so funny?" I sat back in my chair. "We don't drink human blood," Jacob said. "They drink animal blood," Katherine said. "You have a lot to learn," Alex said.
I took a bunch of notes about vampires. Hearing how vampire's can sense danger, I actually thought that it was cool. I also got to fight Jacob, he didn't want to hurt me, but I gave him a black eye.
I went in the freezer and grabbed him an ice pack. Jacob was sitting on the couch.
"Put this on your eye," I said putting the ice pack on his left eye. When Jacob went to go hold the ice pack, his hand touched mine. We both looked at each other. I heard Cece walking upstairs, I moved my hand from the ice pack. Then Alex came into the living room. Jacob and I both looked at him.
"Nice job Star," Alex said trying not to laugh. I rolled my eyes. "Steve told me to tell you two to come back outside," Alex said.
Jacob, Alex, and I walked towards the woods. Steve was standing there waiting.
"The last thing about vampire's, is that they hunt for their food. Katherine and my wife, Angel, blocked off parts of the woods, they should be finishing up soon," Steve said. "If I'm hunting for an animal and I hear humans," I said. "That's why Jacob and Alex are going to be close to you so you don't chase after any humans." "We'll stop you from getting to the humans if you do hear them," Jacob said.
I looked at the woods, Katherine and Angel came out of them. "What kind of animal do I have to hunt for?" I said still looking at the woods. "Whatever animal there is to eat," Alex said.
Alex and Jacob both sped past me and went into the woods. I went after them. I stopped when I heard a noise. I seen the animal come out from behind a bush. It was a fox, it's fur was bright orange, the tip of it's tail was white as snow. I could hear it's heart beating. I licked my lips, sorry little fox, I thought.
Ellen's POV
My heart was racing when I pulled up in the driveway.
As I walked to the front door I was shaking. It's okay Ellen, you'll be fine, I thought opening the door. I looked in the living room, no one. I closed the door and walked to the kitchen.. Katherine was sitting at the kitchen table.
"Star's hunting animals," she said. I looked out the back door, Steve and Angel were sitting on the patio. "How long has she been gone?" I said sitting across from Katherine. "Twenty-five minutes." "I just can't believe that I lied to her." "You didn't lie, you were protecting her."
I looked at Katherine. Poor child, I thought. When I first met Katherine, she was so nice and helpful. When her and Star used to play together. Katherine's parents fought almost every single day. Her parents got to the point of forgetting that they had a daughter. Then, they got a divorce and they both left, leaving Katherine all alone. The only people in her life is Star, Cece, me, and her Aunt Chloe. Which is good because her Aunt only lives a couple houses down the street. Katherine comes over every day. She's like a third daughter to me. Katherine is the only one who knows that Star is adopted. Star doesn't even know, but, she will soon.
"I need to make dinner," I said getting up. "I'll help," Katherine said getting up and going to the freezer. I didn't feel like making anything, so, me and Katherine just warmed up some stuff from the freezer.
Star's POV
I was walking behind Alex and Jacob. I still couldn't believe that I killed that fox. I love animals! I'm not like that! Jacob kept looking back at me.
When we got to my backyard, Steve and Angel were sitting on the porch.
"She killed a family of foxes!" Alex said running into the house. "She didn't hear any humans," Jacob said going into the house. "Good job Star," Steve said smiling. I smiled back. The backdoor opened. "Dinner," my mom said smiling at me.
Adam Royal's POV
I walked back and forth in my office. I was still trying to figure out why I let Star and her friends go. "I should've kept her friends!" I said yelling. "Boo-hoo, quit your crying," Rachael said coming into my office.
Rachael is my smoking hot intern. She has long black hair, brown eyes, she wears a see-through shirt that always shows her bra, she always wears short skirts, and her black combat boots. Rachael's twenty-three and she always listen's to me. I had an affair with Rachael several times while my wife, Sierra, was on her business trips in Mexico, Italy, and Africa. My wife knows about my intern but not the affair.
Rachael sat on top of my desk. "So what are we going to do about Blake?" Rachael said. "We'll have to kill him," I said sitting in my chair. "Another human will be dead! We need to figure out something else! Killing humans is just wrong." "Says the one who kills them." "I don't kill them! I make them follow me around, then I take there hearts. Therefore, they are still alive, just without feelings," Rachael said leaving my office.
And that's when it hit me. Hearts, I thought. "Rachael!" I yelled. Rachael came back into my office, "What," she said. "Make sure Blake follows you around, everywhere." Rachael grinned and she kicked the door shut.
