“You are totally insane!” Exerpt from Legacy Forgotten by Nicole Hill

 Kenneth knew the presence when he felt it. It was Carmelita, she was calming her granddaughter. “What did she want? Where is she?” He thought to himself as he reached down and grabbed Ailis' arms in a tight grip.

“You're hurting me” she shot back.

“I know you felt her to, I saw your face.” He growled.

“Let go!” Ailis nearly screamed.

He obeyed although he had no idea why. He didn't answer to anyone. “Where is she?” He asked again.

Ailis was confused. He couldn't be talking about her grandmother. “Who are you talking about?” She asked.

“You know very well who I am talking about” he snapped. “Carmelita, were is she?”

Now she was very confused. “My grandmother, what are you talking about?”She asked irritated.

“Yes your grandmother! I felt her here. Where is she Damn it!”

Ailis was starting to get frightened so she backed away from Kenneth. “My grandmother is dead. She died six months ago.” she screamed. She saw flames in Kenneth's eyes and turned to run as fast as she could. 

Kenneth was amazed. She ran so fast. Not as fast as he did but definatly three times as fast as a human. With a little effort he caught up to her nearing her car in an alley and grabbed hold of her arms.“Stop running,” he yelled at her.

She looked up at him and her eyes flashed a light glow of red behind her pupils. “Let go” she said in a low menacing voice.

He let go then and stared at her aghast at what he had just witnessed. “What the hell are you?” He asked. The flash had disappeared and she was back to normal.

“Let me go” she stated.

“No I won't.” Kenneth was not about to let her go not after what he had just witnessed. “Now answer my question. How could you possibly not know? You can't go into your twenties and never have realized.” Kenneth asked.

“What a stupid question that is, I am human of course.” Ailis answered angrily.

“Yes I can see that part of you but the other part is definitely not human.” He didn't want to frighten her by saying what he suspected the other part to be.

“You are being ridiculous.” She started and turned to leave. This guy was crazy. Kenneth held her arm to stop her.

“Have you ever craved blood he asked directly?” She scolded him with her look.

“Of course not! I am leaving now. You are insane, I could have worked with the fact that you are a vampire and with the fact that you kill people at least as long as I kept finding that they were the most despicable scum of the universe. But I absolutely cannot forgive the fact that you are totally insane.” She said leaning in to throw her over shirt in the front seat.

Kenneth was furious that this little slip of a woman dared to talk to him like that. He decided to prove it to her. No matter how much it frightened her. Right now he didn't give a damn. He brought his wrist to his mouth and ripped a whole in it. Blood automatically started to pour out. In his anger Kenneth Tore the hole to big and felt the life force draining from him to fast. 

Ailis knew that he had made a mistake also and lurched forward to grab his wrist. Covering it with her hand desperately reaching inside her car for the over shirt she had thrown into the front seat. She removed her hand and wrapped the shirt around tightly to cut off the flow of blood. She was in the middle of chastising him for being so completely stupid, when the sensation hit her. She had only felt this a few times before and never this strong. She felt it first in her stomach and then in her mouth, the small teeth on either side began to lengthen. That had never happened before. She pressed her lips closed to hide the evidence. What the hell was happening? Her head began to swim and she jumped into the car and grabbed the wet naps from the front seat and began scrubbing the blood off of her hands. Shit, this was not happening. She just could not face this right now. When she got the urge under control she looked up at Kenneth who looked rather pale. She jumped out of the car and helped him to stand.

“I'm fine” he chuckled, “just a little weak. I need to feed.”

Ailis let out a large sigh and looked up at him. “Please don't kill anyone.” She asked quietly.

That angered Kenneth far more than her denying what she was. He looked down at her darkly, “Don't presume that you can tell me what to do.” He said quietly and seemingly with no emotion at all. Then he was gone.
