Midnight Demons by Lyresa Jacutin (best books to read for students .txt) 📖

don’t want to hear it anymore. I thought he loves me, but why he is talking like this? It’s not my choice to be a vampire? It’s was never my choice, God why are you forsaken me like this? If only God is a genie I would wish I would be back what I am before.
Being a vampire is not an easy life; I force to leave my family. My grandmother, oh! I miss her so much. I miss my family, but I have no choice but to leave them in order not to kill them.
He paused, searching for words. “But I’m not afraid of you, I don’t care if I put my life in stake, because all I need right now is you.”
I want to believe him, all the things that he said. But at this moment I don’t know what to believe. “Tell me who you are.” I face down searching for nothing. The world hates me, and here I am stare blinded on this silly life.
“I’m a hunter, a vampire hunter,” he said slowly and precisely. “My father is a vampire hunter. He already killed a dozens of vampires, but be is old to track a vampire, so he decided to past it to me two years ago.”
“Then?” I want to know more, I want to know him better even though it kills me.
He took a deep breath. “Then without a choice, I accept it. And I get introduce to the other vampire hunters. Hundreds of vampire hunters, two years ago our leader gives me a mission.” He closes his eyes and controlling his grip. “Mr. Robinson our head master give me an assignment,” he stops again.
“And what is that?” I ask.
“To kill you,” he said.
My world stop, my undead body wants to die.
He holds my hands that are shaking heavily. “He give me all the details,” he continues. “He give me all your background and your pictures, but the moment I saw your picture, I already like you I know its sounds so crazy but there is something about you I cannot explain. I know you not that bad at all.”
“You are going to kill me?” I ask. The man that I love wants to kill me. My knees gets weak and I’m running out of time, I can see the light of death now. Any moment from now I’ll be dead. Though I’m stronger than him, I cannot fight him out.
“Yes, including your brothers and the Taylor family,” he added.
“How much do you know about me?” I want to run away, to tell Ian and Paul about him, but I’m weak. How could I love the person who wanted to kill me? It’s like you are meant for each other, but not meant forever.
“Enough to kill you, but I can’t Marie Elisa.” He holds me again. “I can’t kill you, and I can’t kill your love ones. Loving you is a betrayal in my group, but I’ll face what are consequences.”
“But we cannot live like this, Aaron. Love is not enough for us to survive, I can’t be dead, and if you are going to love me I’ll just put you in harm.”
“I don’t care.” Then he kisses my forehead. “I don’t care as long you are with me. We can hide from them.”
“Hide? Where?” I ask. It’s a good idea and at the same time the stupid idea I ever heard.
“Laguna Beach,” he said firmly. “Marie Elisa, do you want to come with me?”
For the first time in a long time someone called my complete name. It’s strange to hear it.
“Marie Elisa, do you want to come with me?” he asks again.
Yes… No… I don’t know. Yes, because I want to be with you, and no because I don’t want Ian and Paul gets mad on me and I will just upset them if they will know.
“Of course I’ll come with you.” After all I agree to come with him, besides I don’t want Ian and Paul to get in trouble. If the vampire hunters know about our forbidden love my love ones will get hurt. So I decided to let Ian and Paul to consider that I’m dead, that they cannot see me forever.


IAN LOCKWOOD
Chapter 6
Dear Journal,
Tonight is the night that I turn Marie Elisa Hart into a vampire twenty years ago.
Though it’s already twenty years pass, I still hate myself of what I’ve done, the pass is still hunting me, the lonely escapade that I regret it, because of me the life of Marie Elisa Hart has change forever. She hated me why I turn her into one of us, into one the creature of evil. She hates me for what I’ve done to her, well, I can’t blame her, and after all it’s my entire fault.
To tell you honestly, I don’t have any idea why I’m putting this right now on my journal. Maybe because I’m just running away from all the problems that I’m dealing right now, and I think I contributed something of the problem. Marie Elisa is missing and it’s been a month already. The High Councils of Eternals declared that Marie Elisa is indeed dead, but it doesn’t me, I know she still alive.
What if she is really dead? No, she is not. I can sense her thoughts. I know she still in the state of California.
The only thing that Marie Elisa, didn’t know is that I can read her thoughts. She thought… well, everyone thought I can’t read her mind, I lie to her, and I lie to everyone. It’s the only way I can determine her what she is thinking.
I have plans; I’m going to find her, to save her from that stupid Aaron Scot Richardson.

“Paul, can you get yourself a room? Both of you!” I shouted on the other side of the room. Paul and Jennycris are flirting with each other at the living room. The worst part is that I can hear all their thoughts. Have they forgotten me? I can read all the things in their minds.
“Oh! Come on guys, just stop it,” I complain. I cannot handle their public of display of affection.
Paul stares at me, “perhaps you’ll be the one to get a room.”
“Me? Why me?” I ask. For the love of God! Why it always be I’m the one to understand on them? “Can’t you see I’m watching a basketball game? It’s Lakers and Suns.”
“When are you a fan of basketball? I thought you hate that game?” said Jennycris.
“That was 75 years ago,” I explain. I hate that sports, but I’m living in modern days now and I have no other choice but to blend with the others. “Whatever guys, I’ll just leave the house.”
Paul stands on his feet, feeling guilty of his action. “You don’t have to leave. Besides the media will follow you the moment you step outside this property. And don’t be over dramatic it doesn’t suit you.”
The media. Of course they will follow me. One of my plans is to be an actor; I just wanted to blend with the others, so that no one could guess what we truly are. “I don’t care just let them follow me. And I’m not acting over dramatic okay? In nature I’m kind and understanding.”
“And now you are being a kid, Ian,” says Paul.
“I have to leave now,” I said.

I went to a locale café. I cancel all my projects and guest shows; actually I stop pursuing my acting career. It only makes me laugh to remember that I’m doing stupid things like being an actor. My only goal for now is to find Marie Elisa. Everyone believes that on the news that Marie Elisa is dead. But they can’t convince me to believe what they believe. And I believe that Marie Elisa still alive.
“Hey, master Ian,” said Elisa.
That what she always calls me “master” when she tries to pissed me off. Every time I close my eyes all can see is the memory of her. How she stares at me, how she hates me, and how much she wants to know my early life. Of course how can I forget how much she wants to kill me.
“I know that there is a part of you that is vulnerable,” she said to me when we are in London four years ago. “What would you do if I’m going to run away from you? Would you be happy or pissed off? Probably you’ll be pissed off.”
“I’ll throw up a party,” I said.
She brushes her hair by her hands before reacting of what I said. “You are so mean. Well, one of these days I’ll run away from you.” Still she manages to able not to shout on me.
“When?” I ask eagerly. Even though I know the answers.
She stares at me for a moment, “I don’t know.”
Yes you know it, why she has to lie on me? But there is no need for me to hear it from her mouth to be able to know the answer. Thank God I can read her mind. She’ll run away when she is going to find the love of her life.
The love of her life. Which would be Aaron. Aaron would just kill her.
I open my eyes to go back in reality. I should tell her earlier about Aaron, in that case this wouldn’t be happening.
Aaron is a vampire hunter. Vampire hunters are the one who kill the vampires, obviously that is why they called their group a vampire hunter. They kill all the vampires, when they captured it. Sure indeed, we are evil, a demon, we should not live in this world. But not all vampires are bad; perhaps we are living under the law right now, which the High Councils of Eternals made. A law that forbidden us to kill an innocent human being unless we are being attack or using our abilities for self defense. If any of the law that we’ll break it, it sentences us in death.
“I can see it in your eyes that you are not a stranger.” Elisa is playing her hair while talking to me. “Do you get what I meant, master?”
I try to deny my feelings for her, but the more I ignore it, the more the feelings get stronger. She is the only one who brought me in the bright side. I hope one day she will understand me why I turn her into a vampire. Without her, my life is nothing. After living in the dark side of my life, I found the missing piece puzzle of my life. The moment I saw her she gives me a reason to live again in the bright side.
I raise my eyebrow. “How come I become a stranger at myself?”
“I didn’t say that, you are the one who said that. What I’m trying to point it out is that you are not that bad at all.”
Elisa is right. She understands me in a way that no one else can comprehend, not even my brother. She look on me in a way that she almost she sees my soul, if I still have a soul, if God still gives me a soul in my demonic days.
I send a message to Paul and it says:
Paul, I’ll be gone for a while, I’ll follow my instinct. If you really believe me, you are open to accompany me on this dangerous rescue mission,
