“Riku where are your parents?” I asked a little confused looking around the table.
“They are looking at you.” Riku looked ay my staring parents and I shook my head.
“They aren’t your parents,” I snickered, “how are they your parents if I wasn’t with you my whole life? If you are my brother how are you my brother? I don’t remember anything about having another brother. I don’t remember you sleeping in my room or even you at all!”
“It’s because….” Riku paused and looked down, “I was born before you. I was the older brother by a year but we had to be abandoned.”
“You see Jack. It’s a thing for vampires. When one is born you raise it but…if you have another child you must abandon the first child or give them to some one else. It avoids future conflicts and also avoids the 2 siblings from killing each other.” My Father explained looking at Riku and then towards me.
“But….Riku may look like he isn’t older he is a bit wiser and he’s more….” My mother smirked, “he’s much faster than you. At fighting and thinking twice about things.”
“He’s faster than me? I am the fastest here!”
“Would you like to test that out little brother?” Riku asked suddenly turning into an older version of me. The same height, a deeper voice, and darker hair than me. He was a bit scary as well. Around his eyes they were charcoal black. His eyes were crimson red. But this time he didn’t have the short rock-star hair like me. He had a shoulder length hair that was black with green highlights.
“How did you-
“I am the oldest and also I can change my form. It is really helpful in the world, Brother. But one disadvantage is….” He looked at me, “You take part of your immortal life and turn it to mortal. So my life is starting to fade. Slowly.”
“But why can’t I yet? I am still so confused. Is he going to be living with us? Is he going to be going to school with me? Did you guys know that he was coming to live here? Why didn’t you guys tell me? Why wasn’t I informed about this ever?!”
“You will but it’s your decision. He is going to be living with us for now on. He is going to school with you but he is going to be in12th grade so you won’t have to always be with him. And the last question….” My father stopped and looked at my mom.
“The answer is yes we knew he was coming all a long. We didn’t want to tell you that you had a brother because it would have made you want to go search for him. And you aren’t ready to be out there in the world by yourself.” My mother looked down.
“Mom didn’t want to have you leave because you are her baby,” Riku said looking at mother, “it was hard enough for her to leave me bro. So chill out be happy you found out now.
“Ah! Fine but I am not hungry now. I think I am going to go to sleep. To think about what happened.” I looked at my family that was nearly to tears, “I love you all good night my family.”
“He’s so confused.” My mother said as I walked up stairs.
“He’s learning.” My father replied
I went in my room and laid on my bed. Oh how confused I am. I was a little ticked off than anything. Why couldn’t I handle knowing about my brother? I can’t believe they would hide that from me. I trusted my mother and father and now they didn’t
