We walk back inside the mansion and onto the third floor where is his office is. I am awkwardly following behind him meanwhile he looks back at me to check if I'm okay. Or if I don't escape. He opens his office door and let's me in, shutting it behind him. I gulp down the lump that formed in my throat as he gestures the chair in front of his desk. "Please sit." He says and I obey, sitting down and he goes across from me on his chair behind his desk. "I really don't want to talk about what happen with you and Adeline. I don't give two shits about that." "Then why did you sound so determined about it earlier?" "Because we were around people who has hearing range from us and I said it so they can think I brought you here to talk about that." I sigh, slouching in my seat while looking up to Mr. Hansel. "Okay go on then. What is it about?" "There is a lot I need to tell you. It is very important so I do not need you to run off in sadness or disappointment." I pull my eyes away from him and I glare down at the desk, thinking about catching him feeding on the worker. "Um... Well let's get it over then." I say, crossing my arms over my chest. I feel a bit cold in his office. "First thing first, I am sorry that you had to see... w-what happen yesterday." "Don't worry about that, it's fine. I should have knocked or ignored it." I awkwardly say, feeling my cheeks flush in redness. "It was my concern but it's not going to be the first time you see that here." "I do not what to hear it, just skip it." "No, I'm being honest." "Was the lady human?" He looks at me, furrowing his eyebrows and thinking about it. "Yes, why wouldn't she?" Now he makes me feel stupid. "I don't know! I don't know how things work here!" I say feeling a bit embarrassed. Mr. Hansel chuckles at my comment while he shakes his head. "Well, you would have known years ago." "What do you mean?" I ask him, sitting up in my seat, leaning closer to him. "It's been a long time Adeline. I haven't seen you since you were an infant. And let me tell you, that human world changed your world." "Are you telling me something I do not know." "I'm your guardian Adeline." I stare at Mr. Hansel with my mouth wide open. What is he talking about? "Is this some vampire shit because I'm sick of it." "No it's not. Human have guardians too, like when a parent dies and someone takes care of the child and raises them as their own" "Wait, but you are like twenty- something." I suddenly reply to him, shaking my head. "Adeline, I'm thirty-five." "What? You don't even look thirty-five." "Well vampires do look younger when they get to the big numbers." I look at him speechless and he just stares at me until he breaks eye contact. "Anyways, back to the subject, I have been your guardian since you were an infant." "Does my parents know about this?" "Your real parents are dead." What the actually fuck. I rub my head and I run my hands through my hair. After I start to laugh, getting up from sitting down. "Okay nice, I like what you are doing here. I'm going back to my room." "Sit down." "Why are you always playing around with me?" "Sit down, Adeline." He says calmly, still in his seat while he watches me walk to the door. "This world is fucked up." "Adeline! Those people in the human world that raised you all your life aren't your real parents!" He spits out to me and I stop from walking. I slowly turn around to him and I furrow my eyebrows. "What?" "Your real parents died when you were an infant." "What are you talking about?" My voice choked and I start to shake. "Please sit down and I'll explain." He softly says to me and I obey, sitting back down on the chair. "Your real parents are Louis William and Christina-Marie Tompson. Your father was a vampire Pureblood here." "Your kidding right?" I say to him and he nods his head no. "I am not joking. He came to this exact school to become a vampire by his father and find a girl to help him out." "So he was kind of like the six boys now?" "Exactly. Your mother was human, she was chosen from the human world to come here and she did. Your father chose your mother and except being partners, they fell for each other. But during the stay here, your mother got pregnant with you." "How old were they?" "They were both seventeen." "So he got her pregnant?" "Yes and they decided to stay together to raise you. When the child is born, they have the blood of a Pureblood coursing through their veins. So you grow up as a human then you get turned by your father." "So I'm half human and half vampire?" "Not exactly there is not half and half. You are one or the other. You are human but in your blood you have the blood of your father's." "What happen to them?" "When you were born, there was a attack of demons and they were killed. You survived and no one wanted you here or to be raised here." "Why so?" "Because your father died, you cannot be transitioned to a vampire now. It's over for you, you will grow up as a human." "Wait, so for a Pureblood family, the fathers have to bite their own children to turn them?" "Exactly and because your father isn't alive anymore, there is no way for you." I kind of feel relieved about not turning into a vampire because I do not want to be one. "But how do other vampires turn?" "They are turned by regular vampires. A vampire can turn a human anytime but if they try to turn a Pureblood for example like you, your body will fight it because it is not your father and you won't be able to turn into one." "Thank goodness." Mr. Hansel looks at me and he can't help but smile. "Anyways, how are you in this?" I ask him and he sighs. "For all my young years I was best friends with your father. When they died and you were by yourself, I knew what was going to happen to you. Now that your father died and you couldn't turn into a vampire, you were a abomination in the vampire world. An embarrassment and so called by vampires, a mutt. No one would want you and if you were raised here, it wouldn't end well. So I became your guardian and I took you to the human world.-" "-I know Mr. Pedone so I asked him if he knew anyone in the range of that school distance that you can be taken care of. And he found your parents that raised you and took care of you. They know about the vampire world and what happen to you. They thought it was a good idea to raise you because they couldn't have children themselves." I look at him while he talks, my stomach turning to mush. I feel sick and rethinking about my life. It was all a lie. "I thought the best time for you to come back is when you are the age of coming here for the game and school. So I can see you again." "Is this the first time you see me since I was a baby?" "No, sometimes I'd come to the human world to just watch you and see how you are. But I never actually spoke to you and let me tell you, you have a foul mouth like your father." I can't help but laugh but while I laugh I start to cry. Mr. Hansel realizes and comes up to me, rubbing my back in circles. "All these years, I thought they were actually my parents and I always said how I looked like them and can relate to them but it was all fake. I just mentally saw it in my head." "No, Adeline don't think like that. They are still your parents and they love you and raised you to a beautiful young girl." "Why does this happen to me?" I cry and he places his lips into a thin line. "Everything happens to everyone." "And those damn demons! What are they and what do they do! I want to kill them!" I say with fury and he sighs. "It's fine, Adeline. But you can't. You are too weak." "I will find a way." "You cannot abolish their kind. It's impossible, they are too strong." I wipe my tears, wondering about those fucking demons. "So you are going to let them be after killing your parents too?" I whisper to him, staring in his shallow blue eyes. He pauses from rubbing my back and lowers his hand down. He opens his mouth to talk but he purses his lips into a thin line. "Who told you." "I found my resources." "That is nothing to talk about." "Oh really? You are just going to forget it?" "That is not the full story and this is nothing about my life. It's about yours. Adeline, we both can relate by having no parents but... I need you to stay with me. Understand that when something happens, I will be there for you." "No because I will lose." "If you lose, you have the choice to go home or stay here." "In the vampire world?" "Yes, you can live with me and everything will be okay." "B-but, I'm a abomination, a-a mutt. And if I go home, I won't have no home." "You will, you will go back to your parents." "They aren't my real parents." "It's okay! It will take time to slowly digest all of this but you will get through it." I blink one last time and tears spill out of my glassy eyes. "You will be okay, Adeline. Trust me." He whispers, bringing his head to my face. He kisses my forehead then grabs me into a hug. The only think I can do is hug him back and that is the only thing I need right now.
