From Within Secrets

*Andy's POV*

Ashley was right about that we needed to go to the grave of Roku's grandmother, something was off and we needed to find out what that was. We were walking up the long driveway to Roku's parents house. We didn't want to go to the grave without getting their okay first, we had to tell them what we knew too and what happen with Chris. This was going to be a long night but we needed to do this and it was good that it was a Friday night too. As soon as we got to the house, Roku's parents were waiting outside for us. Hidan looked at his wife, before looking at us again, and we could tell that he knew something was going on.

"It's weird to see four vampires just walking up to my house in a normal fashion. Though I can tell that something is bugging you all too. What may I help you with?" Hidan treated us better then he use to. He was happy to know that Roku found someone and follow in her grandmother's steps.

"We would like to go up to the grave of the founder. We think there might be something to help us protect and understand things. Right now, things aren't good. Someone tried to kill Chris, Aiden is being held under some kind of vamp spell and they are after Roku." I just looked him in the eyes. "I think there is a clue, maybe something to help us. In that house...."

"Then you are allow up, I can come with you but maybe it will be best if I stay here to make sure no one follows you up there. You boys are like family now. You don't have to ask me because I have cameras set up to see who comes here and not. But thanks for asking." He took his wife's hand and they walked back into the house.

We walked out of the mansion and to the grave and house that Roku show all of us. As we got there, we didn't know how long of a walk it would be. We walked into the house and looked around. There wasn't much in the old house. We looked everywhere and we couldn't find any clues on anything. I was looking at the books, I was ready to give up when I seen this one called Eclipse Hollows, it was by a author from the 1600s. I pulled it out and as soon as I did a hidden door open up.

"Guys, I think I found something." I looked up as the others came walking into the house and they were all just in shock.

"How the hell did you find this?" Ashley walked over and looked into the hole that was now in the floor, he pulled his phone out and turn on the flash light before walking down the stairs, the others follow him. I looked at where the book was and now there was a thing pushed up. It was a hidden trigger, when the book was on it, it pushed it down and hid the door, when you took the book off it open it. I kept the book with me and follow the other three down.

As we walked down and into a hallway, there was a room all the way at the end. As we got closer I could sense some weird shit going on. I walked into the room and it light up, bright. I looked around and I seen all kind of things, even jams with vampire teeth and blood in it. I frown a bit.

"Damn it, Andy, this is some really crazy shit in here. It looks as if they torture vampires or did experiments down here...." Ashley frown a bit as we looked through everything.

"This has everything, the legend of the hunters, why they started to hunt 'bloodsuckers', who the first of the 'bloodsuckers' were. How to kill vampies without weapons. Damn, Roku's grandmother has everything here." Jake was in shocked. It wasn't until Jinxx found something that really worry us.

"Guys, I think I found what we were looking for." He pulled out this huge book and lay it on the table. On the cover of the book it say 'The Prefect Town: Eclipse Hollow by Nora Kanno. "Guys, this is her book, she wrote this." Jinxx was in shock and I walked over and open to the first page.

"My name is Nora Kanno, I started writing this when I was 7, everyone always thought it was best to kill all vampires, everything my family did was kill. My parents never liked that I was different. I could talk, hang out with vampires. I didn't fear them, I didn't run from them. I liked having them around. My family own this forset for over 800 years maybe even more then that. The old mansion of the first Kannos burn to the ground in 1800s. The new one was build in 1810. We always hunted on this land and it was always different then the rest of the world. When I was 16, this one vampire started to show up. He never attacked, he would watch be from far away. I wanted to tell my parents about him. But I fear he would have ended up like the vampires in this room." I stopped and looked around. There were corses hanging from the roof of the secret room. Usually vampire's bodies turn to ash after dying but these one didn't. They just looked really burned and rotting I looked at the guys.

"Okay so the Kanno's didn't play nice with vampires at all." Ashley was a little worry but looked at me. "Keep going, I know we won't get to read all of it but maybe we can get some of the idea she wanted. Or what happen." He was right...we needed to know everything about the town and it's creator.

So I started reading again, "In 1890, the vampire started coming closer, I found out his name was Delsin, he was sweet, loving and he hang around a lot. I was 19 now, I was one of the best hunters of my family. My siblings didn't even know what to do. When I turned 20, I would be force to swear into my family name, but I didn't want to hurt Delsin and my family never knew he was around. One night when my family were out hunting, I found Delsin, he was holding his side and he was bleeding really bad. I sneak him into this house, hid him in this very room. I lay him on the bed and pulled up his shirt, there was a huge hole in his side. I rush around, getting things to cover and treat his wounds. I gave him medicine, vampires couldn't heal if it was a huge wound and they really can't heal if they have the blood drain from them. Delsin was dying and I knew I needed to help him. I lean in and pulled my hair back. 'Drink, you need to', I order him. He didn't seem like he wanted that, 'But Nora, I can't drink from you, I'm weak, I won't be able to stop and you're so kind, I don't want to kill you.' He said back to me. After a few minutes, he did as I asked him to and he drunk from me. I felt this spark and I wanted to be with him, I wanted to spend every night and day with him. When I seen his wound slowly healing I pulled away and looked him in the eyes. He was so beautiful, I couldn't believe I was falling for a vampire. A hunter and a vampire, together forever. He laughed and said, 'you felt that too, didn't you?' I nodded to him and blushed. After that day, we couldn't be away from each other and I kept him in this room to protect him from my family." I looked up to the guys, they were all staring at me, wanting to know more. "I wonder if Delsin is the vampire that killed her and then he killed himself? This book is huge, she's been writing in it forever, some of it you can tell she just had that much time on her hands."

"She saved him, and from letting him drink from her, it connected them. That happen to Chris and Roku too. Andy there got to be more in there you should keep reading." Ashley and the other two were all leaning close to me now as I looked back into the book.

"I guess I can, it will give us some help but we would be here for days if we keep reading non stop, there is just too much in this book for a day." I sighed and turned the page. "My parents found out about Delsin, they were pissed and cast him out of our land, they couldn't kill him. I didn't understand why they couldn't kill him. I remember locking myself up in my room. I was so mad at them. They only found him because I asked him to come into the house. I mean I was sleeping with him, there is many times we had sex. It just happen that the one day I asked him into the mansion, my older brother finds out. He called my family back and they cast him out. I went to look for him, but the forset is huge. I cried myself asleep that night, I felt my heart break in two. I wish there was a way that I could make it that humans, vampires and halflings would be able to live in peace, together. Then it hit me. I remember a story my grandmother use to read me. It was called Eclipse Hollow. It was wrote by a hunter back in 1600s, she wanted to live in peace with vampires and others that where different. She dream about a town, it had everything from schools, houses, stores, movies. Everything you can think of like LA or New York cities would have in it. But it was a place where Vampire lived with humans, hunters and even halflings. Everyone could live in peace and not worry about the fear of death. When I was 20, I swear my heart, soul and everything I was to my family name. Years later my parents passed away, vampires attacked us and killed them. I was hiding in this room when it happen. It's a good thing that I was already made mistress of this land. I started my plans, with the help of many other hunters that agree with my life. In 1900, we made our own Eclipse Hollow. We build a town as been as the forst would let us and still keep it hidden. It was a mini LA, Cali. The Kanno mansion was ripped down and rebuild again just a 3 miles from this place and about 10 miles outside of town. Delsin came back in 1920, but there was something off about him. I don't know what happen to him. It was 1890 that he left, when my family cast him out." I couldn't believe it, so she got the idea from for another hunter.

"Damn, so when he came back, he was already change." Jinxx frown a bit and looked at me. "Andy, we need to keep Roku and Chris safe. I don't like how this is playing out. Everything is here."

"You think I don't fucking know that!" I just looked at him. "There is more yet." I sighed and read more. "But 1930, more and more vampires, humans, hunters and even halflings heard about my town. They all came here to have peace. Delsin was back to normal, he was staying with me and I was sleeping with him again. He told me he was sorry about acting weird for so long, he's just been so heart broken without me. When my parents cast him out, they beaten him to near death after ripping out his fangs, They almost did kill him and he was found by another group of vampires that took him in. Things were going great, Delsin and I found a way to use our connection to put a wall up around the forset, to try and keep out anything that we didn't want in the town. Soon, vampire, humans and anyone were dating, marrying and having kids. I was proud of my town, I was really proud of what this city was becoming. Delsin and I ruled this town and everything was prefect. We even wanted to start a family ourselves." I stopped reading for now, and there was still more to read. "I'm going to leave this here, we need to get back to Roku, tell her what we found. This could help her a lot. But I don't want it in the wrong hands, so it's staying here."

We all walked out of the hidden room and I put the book back to hide the door again. After that we walked out of the Kanno's land and drove to the hospital. We needed to tell Roku about this finding. I was the one driving, we made it to the hospital in no time. I walked up to Christian's room and seen that Roku was asleep. I walked over to here and softly shake her awake, Chris was still out cold, he was hooked up to a breathing thing, it's bad when a vampire needs human help. "Roku, wake up sweetie, this is really important." She just slowly looked at me and at Chris though she frown seeing him in the same way he's been.

"What's going on? I thought Chris was awake." She was still out of it and the other guys came into the room.

"We found a hidden room in Nora's house. There is a book in there that, it was wrote by her. She talks around Delsin, the vampire she fell in love with, she talked about her family being killed, how the town came to mind. There is so much stuff hidden in the room. Even bodies of dead vampires that she somehow found to stop them from turning to ashes." I watched her, she was in shock.

"How? What didn't you bring the book here?" She was just looking at me, happy that I found something.

"I didn't want it to be out in the open. We had a hard time looking for it. We don't want to let your Aiden know we found it or the other vampires out to kill us or get rid of us. It's safe where it is and you are the only one other then us that can get into it. Remember it's seal off, only the people your parents allow into that building can go in. But it goes back all the way to where she was 7, and talking about how the 1800s were. That the idea of the town came from a hunter back in the 1600s, she wrote a book about how she would love everyone to live in peace. There is so much info in that book. I read some of it but we want you to be around to hear the rest. And we want Christian there too. The room is seal off, only people that are there for good and not bad can get into it. It was Nora's secret room. Even her parents didn't know about it. They thought the whole house was just a play things for her, but it was so much more, she even hid Delsin when he was wounded badly by her family. She treated his wounds and fell in love with him to the point that she slept with him. But she sneak him into the mansion and her parents casted him out of the forset." She was just looking at me in shock. "He did come back but was different, though after a while he started to talk to her telling her what happen after he was casted out. And after she was 20 her parents were killed and she got others to help build this town. It's amazing, we have the one link to know the secrets of this town." I smiled and Roku smiled too.

"I can't wait to write more of it, but have my parents seal it off to everyone but us. Here is their number." She smiled and I did as she told me to. They told me that it was not problem because only Roku and who she wanted to go there was allow in. I left out the fact that we found something.

"They are doing as you ask Roku, so all is good." I looked over as Chris was shaking a bit in his sleep. I didn't like that and called in a nurse that said that we all needed to leave the room and let them work. He was going through something and I didn't know what it was. I worry about him so much. I walked with Roku and the others out of the room. "If you want, we can take you to the house now. No one won't let us in with him anymore tonight and Jamie and Nick will be here soon, they will sit with him." I smiled a bit and she nodded. I had plans showing her everything that Nora had in that room.
