Chapter 1 – Moving to Home
My name is Jessica May (changing her name). I liked to be called Jess, or Jesse. Not Jessica. My dad is Kevin May. Though I love him dearly, I also hate him. A couple of years ago – 11 to be exact- my mom died. He had never been the same; I think that maybe he died with her. I was somewhat young- 5 years’ old- and she was a huge part of my life, I mean come on she was my mom. But I couldn’t remember her as nearly as well as my dad could.
Anyways after she’d passed away my dad moved us. Ever since then we have been moving at least two times a year or more. I loved my first home I didn’t want to leave my best friend, her name is Mandy – well actually Amanda but I liked Mandy it fits her better. I’ve been in contact with her ever since I first moved. It was hard but it was totally worth it. It was so hard since my dad didn’t move town to town but state to state. Everything new place I don’t even try to make new friends I know we’ll be moving away soon enough. That’s how it worked.
Finally my dad thought it would be wonderful if we moved back to his hometown. I’d long given up fighting with him. But this time was different.
“We’ll be staying there. I can’t keep doing this to you.” He said. I rolled my eyes while his back was turned to me. Well you have be doing through all theses years why stop why? I added in my head.
“Well, dad do you want to go back there? What about home?” I used home as my first home with Mandy. He took awhile to answer.
“You know the answer to that.”
Yeah no.
“Well where is it? You never told me before.” I said trying to sound interested, I wasn’t.
“Seabrook, Oregon.” He said louder. What?! That sounds so, so, AH! I don’t even know.
“Sounds good, dad.” I said keeping my feelings inside.
“Great hun. Go start getting your things in the truck, okay?” My dad said.
I quietly sighed, he knew I wasn’t going to do that, but call Mandy and give her the latest news. I miss my Hometown, Michigan (changing the name of the town). When I called she wasn’t home of course not they were leaving to go to France. Her mom was an upcoming fashion designer with big promise. They went to a lot of places like that. Mandy’s father though stayed where he was, he hated to leave the familiar ness of his home. I couldn’t blame him. No one can really understand the feeling of never getting over homesickness; it’s only been 11 years. Nothing felt like my home. Every time we moved somewhere I got knots, I am unreasonably worried and scared. I don’t understand why I’ve done this a million times but I never got over it.
Well did as my dad asked. Have never asked where we were going, like that exact spot, until the day we leave, it was sort of my way of a tradition along with that I hoped up until that day we were going back home. Stupid I know, but I didn’t care. After a couple of confusing hours – even if we moved a lot we still don’t have the whole truck stuff down – we were ready to roll. Time to say good-bye to sunny, boring Idaho. I drove with my uncle and my dog, Buddy in the Dodge my dad bought a couple years back. Not a big change, but this time since I could drive my uncle made me drive but he was scared to sleep for many reasons. I’m not a bad driver but not the best either along with I had no idea where we were heading. Along with the fact after 2 hours we switched back and I had finished telling him about the city we were leaving behind. Time for music. I put in my favorite band at that which was somewhat screaming but not always maybe three songs and that was it.
For some reason he started singing it after the third round and I was falling asleep. I was out on the third song. I dreamed about this boy, well he looked my age. He was beautiful, tall, tan colored skin, his eyes what had caught my attention then I woke up as he was about to smile at me. It was our fourth stop when I got out I talked to my aunt. They actually lived a few towns over from us. Then I went and talked to my dad.
“So, are we there yet?” I always asked on our fourth sometimes 5th stop.
“Soon baby, very soon.” His voice was distant which was normal. I knew that is all I would get out of him, for not at least.
“Aunt Betty, are we close?” I asked as she took me in a huge hug. She was the closest thing to a mother I had. She is my dad’s sister but from what I can remember of my mother she looked almost like her. They were best of friends, that actually how my dad met my mom. Match made in heaven if I ever seen one is what my grandpa would say.
“Very soon, two more hours, I promise.” Promises didn’t mean much to me. My other promised me once. Then breaking my train of thought Buddy jumped on me knocking me to the ground. He was somewhat big and almost all black besides his gray/ black mixed belly. He is the sweetest thing on four-legs. We’ve been together for along time. I laughed, helplessly. My father didn’t see it so he stood staring into space. He always did this, always.
“Dad?! Uncle Jay is gonna ride with you!” I yelled trying to get him to notice me. He barely heard me. My smile faded. We all piled back into the cars not wanting to ever talk so I turned to my book. The great escape from this world. Not only did I read, I read way too much – at least that is what some people say - I also write. It helps to write stories of a happy family. My secret dreams and wishes. The last 2 hours were uncomfortable for me. When we got close I tensed up looking around. Forest, rain, and emptiness are the only way to describe this place.
My house was somewhat old, it was like a farmhouse, my house had a porch outside of my house, and there was a swinging chair. The front of the house the law wasn’t that big but normal side. The house just looked like it was really nice and comfortable. We unpacked, ate, said good-byes, and I went to my new room. The house was a 2-story house, the up-stairs including the one and only bathroom, my dad’s room, the living like room and a guest room. Downstairs my room, kind of big I may add with two windows, the kitchen, and another living room area. I sighed, another town, another school, another home that I hate.
My dad put me in school but since tomorrow was Friday and we had a lot of unpacking to do I got the day off. Yuppie! No really I hate the first day at a new schools, no one talks to you and stare. They judge you and just really don’t care about anything but appearance. I heard that Oregon didn’t get much snow but tons of rain. So when I woke up late and saw my dad was gone, I was shocked.
It started to snow, I was really amazed. It’s not like I haven’t seen snow before but where I lived not it was truly amazing. I loved the snow and I wished it would never stop. Seeing the snow it reminded me of my mom. She had skin like snow and when she walked it looked like she was dancing. Her eyes were beautiful they could warm the coldest person. I got most of my dad’s features. He was tall, like my mom, he had brown hair that was wavy and looked great anyway he put it. He had a strong built. I was tall, like both of them; my hair was brown with black from my mom. Yet my eyes were hers. I always believed this is why my dad couldn’t look my in the eyes. Maybe.
I liked to stare out at the snow for hours on end when I was young. Not once did I ever jump around, throwing my hands up in there as to catch a snowflake and show my parents. No, not me. I just watched as it danced outside my window, as if the snow itself was having more fun than me. Which it probably was. But as I watched the snow I became restless. All those years of just watching and waiting to jump in the snow. All those years of waiting to jump out in the snow and dance was wasted. I couldn’t stand it anymore. I hopped up and ran for the door. The snow covered me as I twisted and turned and dance having the time of my life.
It began to slow down and so did my heart I ran back into the house getting warm. I was glad no one was around to see me but my puppy and the horses that came with the house. My dad loved horses, as did I. thank god they preferred to watch the ground. My dad was somewhere but I had no idea where. Sometimes I think that he doesn’t like me, well not that way in hating me but hates looking into my eyes. I have been told – I don’t believe anyone that they are- that they are light blue that looked almost transparent and white. Through all that they were kind and I’d guess welcoming. It didn’t matter who you were they stayed that same if I hated you or if I loved you. Sometimes people were scared, I didn’t understand why. My eyes I guessed were my best features.
No girl is perfect, right? I always thought of myself as a girl you’re only friends with. Nothing more. My hair was shoulder length or a little longer than that. It was annoying frizzy hair that I had to comb a lot. I wasn’t a 0 or a 4 but a 7. Not as skinny as others but not bad at all. I was somewhat athletic but people couldn’t tell unless I showed my legs. I didn’t enjoy boring things like tack, but I loved soccer. I have long given up the dream of playing. Every time soccer season started up and we would leave. My clothing wasn’t so much prep, it was more punk. My clothing always made me an outcast usually at schools there is only a group of people like me and they didn’t come up to and say hi what’s up. I don’t believe this “New” – aka stupid – school even had a team (probably not enough girls). I didn’t enjoy this new town. Way to small, I hate big cities but I don’t like when the biggest new is ‘Johnson’s son is coming back’ – Johnson was my grandpa’s name, he died a long time ago.
I liked owns not to big or not to small. Yet I have lived in all types. Then I focused on what I was doing. Unpacking wasn’t a huge deal I did it all the time, all the same it took me along time and annoyed me. I heard a knock, and I wondered to the front door.
“Please Jess, take your time.” My dad said. He sounded much like he did before my mom died. I guess if my dad sounded happy I could give this place a chance. Then I saw a women follow him in. I stared at her even with my kind eyes I tried to look mad. She stood in the doorway watching me. It became very weird.
“Jess, this is an old friend. I ran into her at the supermarket. Elliot this is my daughter Jess.” He said. Elliot reached her hand out I grabbed it and I stared at her, all I wanted was for her to see that I was not happy seeing her there.
“I haven’t been to this house for along time. Oh sorry jess, couldn’t believe it when I heard your father was coming back. And that he had a daughter I was shocked.” Elliot said with a smile.
“Oh, I’m sorry my dad never talked about this town or his old friends.” I answered trying to hide my smile. In my head I was cheering loudly. She didn’t say anything.
“Well then how about breakfast?” My dad cut in. Darn it! I wanted to mess with her more and I wanted her out of my house. We all headed for the kitchen. I grabbed the milk and cereal a bowl and a spoon. I was wearing pajamas and felt a little weird but I was comfy. I sat down on one leg boosting me up. Last night before my Aunt and uncle plus me and my dad set up all the big things. Now only clothes and other things like that. We still haven’t found the best way to unpack. I was hoping my Aunt and uncle would show up they never did though. I was stuck talking to this women. I secretly wished that I went to school. Then my thoughts were irrupted.
“So Jess you can drive? If so your must be 16 right? I know where you could get a cheap car.” She said never allowing me to answer. My dad then answered me before I could.
“Well she has to have a parent or adult but I will allow her to drive to school by herself. Yes my little baby is now 16. Oh, so where is this car?” He asked, while I stared at him. He sounded happy like when mom was alive. I stared at this Elliot lady down; she didn’t look pretty to me. She was a bit taller than me she had blond hair with dark brown eyes. An average body but she wasn’t near as beautiful as my mom was, or as nice.
“Yes, I can take you to see it.” Elliot said smiling back at me. I tried my best to smile at her, but I couldn’t.
“Then it’s settled we’ll go see it. Jess go get ready.” My dad said never looking at me but Elliot. I walked to my room without another word. I hated this place already and I hated Elliot. I got dressed fast so my dad wouldn’t be alone with that evil lady. When I got out there my dad was laughing and laughing hard. It made me very mad. Maybe I shouldn’t of be so upset. I know if he was happy then I should be happy too. But what about my mom? Then they saw me.
“I guess we should be going.” My dad said standing up. Elliot followed suit and walked outside. Thankfully it wasn’t raining or snowing but gray mist every where. I didn’t like it, it made me feel sad and down. We got into the car and Elliot directed my dad to the house. It took less than 15 minutes to get to the house. I saw an old Blazer it couldn’t have been more perfect. My dad saw how excited I looked and asked the question I was wondering but not really wanting to ask.
“How much?”
“It pretty cheap. It’s kind of old.” Elliot said.
“We’ll take it.” My dad said. Elliot looked pleased she’d helped us and we walked up to the front door. My dad brought it from a man a bit older than himself. I think he knew my dad from back when he lived here.
“You know Kevin, I got a son myself. I’m sure your daughter will see him at school.” They talked as I watched the car. Sure it was old but perfect for a first car. My dad said good-bye and gave me the keys while Elliot headed for the car. My dad called out to her, she nodded and walked towards me.
Oh-god, what did she want now?
“You’re dad wanted me to drive with you.” Elliot said with a smile. Ah!
“Okay.” I said trying to sound excited, I did better this time. We climbed into the Blazer. I started it up and it started with a loud engine and quieted down. The radio only caught three stations which weren’t that bad. Lucky I had a CD player that never left my side. I didn’t mind the radio as much as I minded the heater, it didn’t work. It became very uncomfortable with Elliot there. Minutes felt like forever. She tried to talk to me.
“So excited about your first day of school?” She asked.
“Hmm.” No and I don’t want to talk to you. I added in my head.
“So your dad and I use to go to that school. I bet they haven’t changed anything you’ll see the soccer things about your dad.” She said like a matter-of-fact.
“What?” I said and couldn’t help but look at her. When I looked back out the window there was a group of kids walking in front of me. I had to stomp on the brakes in order not to hit them. I and Elliot launched forward shoving my hair in my face and I felt really stupid. When I looked at the kids they weren’t even surprised no one but one of the even looked at the car.
“I’m so sorry!” I said quietly and scared out of my mind. I was like in shock.
“It’s okay.” Elliot said.
“I was just shocked by what you had said.” I said watching the one that was staring back at me. Tall, handsome, he was really my kind of guy but most likely it wouldn’t matter I would never see or talk to him again. Then my thoughts were irrupted.
“Yes he use to be a goalie. I haven’t seen anyone as good as him for a really long time. I actually coach the girl’s soccer team. Your dad tells me you love soccer. I can’t wait to see you at try-outs.” Elliot said as I continued to drive. I looked at the clock, 1:30.
“What time do kids get out of school here?” I asked still thinking about the grouped that walked past me.
“2:30, they didn’t have school today. You lucked out.” Elliot said. I found myself wanting to know more about Elliot.
“So what do you do?”
“Um- I’m a teacher at your high school.” Oh dear god! Not only will I have to deal with her at home but at school to!
“Oh really. So what do you teach?” I asked. I saw her smile.
“English.” This wasn’t getting any better my second class was English.
“So you married or have a boyfriend?” I asked.
“Well that’s a little personal don’t you think?” No, personal would be asking how many guys have you spelt with.
“Yeah, I am sorry.” I said not sorry at all.
“And I’m not married and I don’t have a boyfriend.” 1 for her but I was still in the lead. Finally we got home. My dad walked up to me and put his arm around my shoulders.
“So how was it?” My dad asked.
“Great.” I talked as we walked into the house. We all walked in. I went to my room to finish unpacking. It took the rest of the way, and I only got half of my stuff unpacked. It didn’t help Buddy kept walking in the path and when he did laid down it was on clothes I just got out. I didn’t eat lunch so when I heard my dad call me for dinner I pretty much ran. To my surprise Elliot was still there and all the kitchen things were unpacked.
“We got the kitchen things and all the living room things unpacked as well. How about you?” I sat down to eat.
“Almost all my room things cleaned. Are Aunt Betty and Uncle Jay coming over tomorrow?”
“Yeah they are. Um Elliot you don’t have anything to do, why don’t you come over to.” Crap why would I ask that while she was here.
“I’d love to.” I wasn’t very hungry after that, I left with half of the food I put on my plate still there. I was not happy with Elliot. I went to see and dream about my mother. Then just before I woke up I saw the boy that looked at me earlier. He was tall, like 6’ 1” or something his hair was long and stopped mid – through his eyes and he had tan skin. He had an average body and walked really gracefully. Then I woke up to a knock on my door and my Aunt walked in.
There were boxes on top of each other and covering most of the ground with a path way to my bed. My bookshelf was up with my bed and my lap that stayed next to my bed. It wasn’t a big room but big enough for me. “Hello honey. Cold morning, isn’t it?” My Aunt said.
“Yeah. Is she her yet.” I said she with venom in my words it shocked my Aunt.
“Yes, Elliot is here. Hun, your dad is so happy why can’t you be?” She asked knowing the answer. She stared at me while I sat at the top of my bed. I didn’t answer. “Come on, we’re going to have breakfast soon.” My aunt said. I looked at my clock that sat on my dresser. 9:30, normal. I never could sleep in until like 12:00 like normal teens. Even if I had stayed up until 2:00 I’d be awake at 9ish.
I got dressed and walked out into the kitchen waking up all the way the moment I saw my dad and Elliot hugging. I couldn’t believe it a dead lock on each other. I couldn’t take it; I grabbed my coat and walked out. I hadn’t felt the tears until I realized it wasn’t raining. I walked down the street not really sure where I was going. I just kept walking. I turned to the forest. When I got in them I couldn’t help but scream. After that I found 5 bucks in my packet and I walked to the same shop I saw when I got my car. I bought a coke and walked back home. When I got there everyone besides Elliot rushed at me and kept asking questions. I finally cut in.
“Hello. I went and got a coke, I didn’t take my car, because I thought it would help my nerves.” I lied. Everyone became calm after that. We all went back to eating I just drank my coke. All that time I was never hungry but sick to my stomach. I never got like this; it was very strange this town gave me a strange feeling. The feeling it was just different like I knew this place would change me.
For the rest of the day we unpacked everything. At the end of the day we were all tired and my dad wanted to take us out. I guess a little way outside the town there was a restaurant I wouldn’t believe him until I saw it. I told him and he couldn’t help but laugh and we went to dinner.
you all might want to copy and paste to read but anyways, i'll tell you all about the second one really quick. i really couldn't think of a name right now so well get back to that later. things are buzzing around Jess things are happening so quickly and changing yet all she can think about is her mother. jess has to know what happened to her. so when jess visits her grandparents she finds out serects, they hated jess' dad and wanted another man for there daughter and they picked a vampire that still is lusting for a bride who better then his promised girl's daughter? so will jess become a vampire or will alex come and save her after leaving her?
anywho to keep you all somewhat excited here is part of a way later chapter
Chapter A Date and a Deadly Kiss
(ok since this chapter is 20 pages long you get to read the fun part of it!)
"I'm glad you brought me here. It's so beatiful." I said as the full moon began to raise. It shined across the lake. the lae loed lie white snow settling ontop and staying there. the stars were little snow-flakes making there way arounf the lake. everything was so calm and quiet. i hadn't realized thugh how late it actually was. "i didn't thin it was so late." I muttered. i walked up to the edge of the lake looking down at myself. suddenly there were two people but little waves made two become one.
"It's not really that late, here the moon shows sooner, like it's the edge of the world, it that was possible of course." Alex replied. Every word was like a soft note. His words, his eyes lured me in. i was turning towards him. i was facing him and he was staring down at me.
"What?" I said quietly. "You're so beaitful." Alex said. "I promise I won't hurt you ever." He whispered softly in my ear. he brought his face to mine. The kiss was different it was more deep feeling surged through it. Alex hands were first on my baclk and slid up towards my shoulders. i thuoght he wanted to push me away. i opened my eyes, Alex's eyes were changing. i knew the pain was coming long before it really came. Alex newly changed or changing claws digged into my skin. His claws scarthed into my skin pulling it away. it digged farther and farther in, blod gushed out of my skin. i screamed but he coulsn't hear, his changed black eyes and his mouth filling with fangs stared at me. he had a confused look on his face. "Alex." I whispered tears streaming from my face. the claws inching more and more every second. "Jess?" A growled voiced asked confused. it was just what i needed. i pushed back hard, his claws scartching through.
