It had been a little over two months since my parents and older sister died in a car crash. Two months since I had come to live with my brother and his wife. It wasn’t all bad but I was tired of hearing how all vampires were evil and anyone that believed differently was evil as well. It just didn’t make sense to me how they could truly believe that God could hate anything.
I climbed out of bed to start the day. I grab my robe from the closet door and head into my bathroom. I take a quick shower and throw my robe on before heading to the mirror to blow dry and straighten my shoulder length hair. Once I finish with my hair I stare at myself in the mirror. I take in my dark brown hair and bright blue eyes. Moving down to my nose that I feel is too small for my face though everyone tells me they love how I have a cute button nose. I continue across my cheek bones and down to my very full pink lips. If I look close enough I can see the mix of my parents in my own features.
I move from the bathroom ignoring the pain in my heart at the thought of my parents. I go to my closet and pull out a white summer dress and lay it down on the bed. I also grab a white bra and underwear from my dresser. After getting dressed I grab a pair of flat white ballet shoes and a light blue cardigan with sleeves that end at my elbows. I button a couple of the top buttons to cover the cleavage that shows at the top of the dress. Sarah says it’s “unladylike” to show cleavage like that but she decided I needed to be more girly like her and most dresses my size are too small in the chest. I would prefer jeans and a t-shirt.
I make my bed before heading down for breakfast. Usually I’m the first person up but as I approach the dining area I can hear voices. I stop just outside the door and listen; recognizing Steve and Sarah’s voices.
“What are we going to do with it”, I hear Sarah ask.
“We’re thinking about letting him burn in the sun the morning after the lock-in”, Steve responds. I narrow my eyes slightly confused.
“That’s almost a month away. What are we gonna do with him till then? They are bound to come looking for him”.
“He’s in the basement of the church for now locked in one the storage areas. We changed the metal for silver. If any other vampires come we’ll just kill them”, Steve says calmly.
I cover my mouth as I gasp lightly. I can’t believe they have a vampire and plan to kill him like that. There will be children at that lock-in. I don’t understand how hateful my brother had become since our parents death. Even our father would not have gone this far. At least I would like to think so.
I take a deep breath composing myself before entering the dining area, “Good morning”, I say as I sit down.
“Good morning did you sleep well”, Sarah asks as she passes me a plate with pancakes.
“Thank you and yes I slept fine”, I say as I take the plate and move two pancakes to my own plate before adding butter and syrup.
“What are your plans for the day”, Steve asks.
“I thought I would spend some time here then go to the church and pray for a while”, I respond.
“That sounds great. We’re gonna spend some time at the church this afternoon then get back to finish packing before we leave for the leadership camp tomorrow. Are you sure you don’t want to go with us”?
“I think some time alone will be good for me. I’ll get a chance to sort out all these thoughts in my head over everything that happened”, I tell him.
Once breakfast was finished I took my time cleaning up the dining room and kitchen. When I finished I went out to the back yard and found a bench under my favorite tree in the shade to think. I just can’t understand what my brother is doing. I know he is angry about the crash but it wasn’t right for him to be blaming vampires.
Even if it was vampires he shouldn’t blame the actions of a few on a whole race of people. Hitler did that and it sure didn’t work out well for him. All it did was bring on a war. I can’t believe I can compare my own brother to Hitler and they had something in common.
I was surprised when Sarah came out letting me know lunch was ready. When I arrived back inside I found Steve had already left for the church.
“How are you doing really”, Sarah asked about halfway through lunch.
“I’m doing fine”, though even to my own ears that sounded flat.
“Steve and I are just worried. You never see your friends anymore and spend most of your time alone”, she says.
How could I tell her that I didn’t see my friends because they believed every word out of Steve’s mouth as if he was God.
“I just need some more time. Everything happened so quickly after the accident I just need to let it all sink in a little at a time. It’s getting better though”.
She nods and spends the rest of lunch telling me all about this leadership camp they were having. Sarah left as soon as we finished eating leaving me to do the clean-up. Once I finish I go to my room and try to just wait the time out so I can still be at church after dark. I spend a few more hours in my room before deciding to head to the church. When I arrive there are only a few cars in the parking lot. I go straight to the chapel since I know Steve will check on me before they leave.
I’m there for about an hour when they come in to let me know they’re leaving.
“I’m gonna stay for a little while longer”, I tell them.
“It’s almost dark. Why don’t you come home now”, Sarah says.
“I want to pray some more and I have my silver spray just in case”, I tell her.
After a little more arguing they give in and allow me to stay. I watch through the window until they are out of the parking lot and I wait just a few more minutes. Once I’m sure they have left I head to the entrance hall and straight to the door that leads to the basement.
I open the door quietly and flip the switch at the top of the stairs to turn on the lights. I close the door as I make my way down and continue going straight checking each storage area. When I get to the last few areas I notice one of the cages is different. I walk a bit faster until I’m standing in front of it. It takes a moment to notice the boy sitting and facing the corner away from me.
I notice he has dark blond hair and I can see the edge of a tattoo on the back of his neck and seems to continue down his back. There are also tattoos circling both of his upper arms. He’s wearing very loose and soft looking clothes. I can also tell he’s strong and has quite a bit of muscle under those clothes.
“Are you alright”, I ask.
He doesn’t move when he responds, “I’m alright”, his accent standing out though I have no idea where it would be from.
“Do you need anything Tru Blood or something to sleep on during the day”?
He finally stands and turns toward me, “Why do you want to help”?
I’m surprised at how young he looks. “I don’t think what they’re doing is right. Especially not what they plan to do”, I say.
He slowly moves closer to me and I notice his eyes are an incredible shade of blue. I can also see his muscles shift with each movement so fluid. When he stops right on the other sides of the cage I find he’s maybe half a foot taller than me. Most people are taller than me since I’m only 5’3. I can’t help but find him beautiful.
“What’s your name young one”, he asks.
“Jasmine”, I tell him before asking, “What is yours”?
“Godric”, is his simple answer.
Goodness even his name is amazing. “Are you sure you don’t need anything? I can bring you something to drink if you need it”.
“I don’t require much blood anymore I’ll be fine for a few days until they have me meet the sun”, he says and I can see a sadness enter his eyes even as I notice him looking me over.
“It’s not going to be a few days though. It’s going to be about a month”, I inform him.
“How do you know that”, he asks and I can see the suspicion enter his eyes.
“I heard my brother talking about it this morning”.
“Your brother must be important here. I only arrived last night”, he says.
“I’d call Steve an idiot not important”, I reply softly.
I see his lips quirk up very slightly in a quick smile. “You are a Newlin then. I’m sorry for the loss of your parents and sister”.
“Thank you”, I look down remembering my sister.
“I upset you. I apologize young one”, he says as he moves back into the room.
I was confused for a moment, “No, it’s not that. I just try not to think about it”, I tell him. Though I’m not sure why I’m opening up so much to him.
He pauses as his eyes meet my own, “How can you even look at me? Most people believe it was vampires who caused the accident”.
“Even if it was vampires I’m not the type of person to blame a whole group of people for something that only a few actually partook in”, I tell him honestly.
I watch as his head cocks to the side slightly, “Most people don’t think that way”.
I smile, “I guess it’s a good thing I’m not “most people” then. I tend to not like people usually”.
“So you don’t like me then”, he says.
“I haven’t decided yet”, I’m actually not sure what I’m doing. I tend to avoid other people but I just couldn’t let him suffer. “Will you let me help you”?
“Why would you want to help me? I’m just a monster and don’t deserve it”.
“Who says you’re a monster”, I ask.
“I have done many terrible things in my past”, he tells me looking ashamed of himself.
“So you decided you’re a monster”? He nods and I continue, “Many people have done terrible things in the past. It’s what you do now that makes the difference”.
“I doubt I can make up for 1500 years’ worth of terrible things”. He looks away from me, “I cannot even remember how many lives I have stolen”.
“It’s not about making things even. You know that what you did was wrong and it’s just living to do the right thing now”.
“I think ending this war before it begins would be better”, he tells me.
Then it clicks, “You let them take you”?
“If giving my life means ending this I’m alright with that. I’ve lived for more than 2000 years I’m happy to go so others can live”.
I shake my head, “If anything it will just speed it up. The vampires won’t be happy with the church for burning you. There will be children there. It’s just going to teach them it’s okay to kill”.
“It is my choice”, he says.
“And I have a month to change your mind”. He returns to sitting in the corner. “My brother and his wife are leaving tomorrow. I’ll bring you some Tru Blood after dark”.
He doesn’t respond so I turn and head out of the basement. I turn at the top of the stairs and before I turn out the light I call down to him, “Goodnight Godric”. I pause for a moment and as I close the door I hear his voice float up the stairs.
“Goodnight young one”. I smile and head to the car.
