Chapter 5
They sat on the blanket and Nirka quiet looking out into the clear water of the river. Nirka? Nirka? Mike said is everything ok, yes, she smiled. Ok so then tell me what the big secret is you have been keeping from me for the last four and a half years. I noticed you have no infected here! Um no we were not affected by what happened that way. Nirka was starting to pour apple sider into mugs for them when Mike laughed what your go to tell me your all vampires? Nirka almost spilled the apple sider everywhere. She took a deep breath to regain her composure. She handed Mike his mug saying matter a factually some of us yes. Now it was his turn to be shocked, putting down his mug he moved away from her to the edge of the blanket. Then he started to laugh ok, you got me good one. But his face was ash white as if part of him inside believed her. No, Nirka said I’m sorry Mike, I’m not joking it is the truth, there are many things here in this realm…. he stopped her, this realm just where the fuck am I? you’re in a world that run parallel to your world, you are safe here no one is going to hurt you. If it had been the case, you would not have been here for over four years getting better, nor would I be helping you try and get back your memory so you can go back to your family. Nirka explained the human recovery project to him and how successful it has been. Mike started relaxing and now had a million questions. So, what are you he asked. I’m a special kind of vampire called a hybrid. Then suddenly she started to laugh, it suddenly hit her why he reacted the way he had. Why are you laughing, what is so funny? Oh Mike, she said trying to control her laughter you humans have it all wrong about vampires. I just realized what you were thinking, she wiped a tear from her eye. We do not hunt humans for food and very rarely do we change a human into a vampire. I have laws. He brow furrowed and he asked her you have laws about human. Like in not the realm but you. Yes, she said I am Mother of the vampires and this whole world here. My mother was Mother, but she was murdered I had to take her roll at the age of 25, I was born to take her place my sisters were not gifted with the ability I was. They are either half bloods or human. So, from a very young age I was groomed to take her place. Father of the realm is my biological father he is full vampire. I know she said putting her hands up it gets very confusing, in private I usually call him dad and he calls me Nirka or if he is in one of his moods he calls me daughter. But to everything and everyone in this realm or as you would say world, I am Mother, and he is Father. So, you’re like a queen, Mike said. Yes, Mother is equal to a queen in your world. My father use to rule with my mother until she was murdered, when I was made Mother, he stepped back into the shadows and give me all the responsibilities to rule. So, what exactly are you Mike asked now very interested in what she was telling him. well, she started I’m like a half blood part vampire part human I’m more human physically. And I must eat and sleep like humans do. Most vampires only sleep one in a while. But they don’t get tired like human do. I was gifted many abilities by mother earth and father sky. The vampire in me is stronger than any regular vampire probably because of abilities I have. When you are ready Mike, I will introduce you to the other clans in the realm. They have been waiting for a long time to meet you. Wow mike finally said this is so unreal, I know Mike it is hard to take it all in at once, why I waited so long to tell you and as you can see, we just don’t bring humans here. You are actually the first one to come here in a very long time. I brought you here to save your life. Before the infection on the whole human race, we had a good relationship with humans for many, many century’s, But only on a need to know basis. When we are finally able to take you home you must keep our existence a secret you can’t tell anyone not even your wife or child about us, Mike it is very important, she reached over and touched his hand, I know I can trust you, or we would not be sitting here having this conversation right now. Mike sat silent looking at nothing in particular but everything around him. he had to be dreaming, but he knew he wan not he had been here for over four years. They cared for him, nursed him back to health. Soon when he gets his memory back, he will be going home if home was still there. Suddenly he got a shape pain in his head he fell back, with his hands on his head and rocked back and forth. Nirka hurried too close the distance between them and put her hand on his head to sooth him. He was having a huge flashback a very painful one. She put his head on her lap still trying to sooth him. she could only see what he was seeing she could not take away the pain she felt him having. He never had this pain before, was her telling him about everything to much for him, it seemed like it went on for hours, but it had been less than 5 minutes. By the time it had stopped Mike was very pale and exhausted. I’m sorry Mike I think this might have been to much for you.
