From Within Secrets

*Roku's POV*

I was walking the halls of our school with my two friends and Chris. Andy and the others didn't come to school today but Chris did which shocked us all since he was the only one out of the five to show up. He said the others would come in late that they needed to do something for Jamie and Nick before coming. He only got out of it because he was still newer then the rest of them. And his gifted was only being really strong, not as gifted as the others. Ashley on the other hand wasn't having a good day. It was the day he was turned and he still had issues with it. Guess it wasn't a good way that he was changed.

"You know Chloe, you should try and talk to him. I mean think about it, Ashley likes you." I smiled at her and she blushed.

"I don't know how my family will feel about me dating a vampire." She sighed a bit. "Or I would be with him in a heart beat."

"He does like you, just like Andy likes Cambria. But hey I didn't say that!" Chris just smirked at us, he loved letting things slip like that. Though I could tell he had a thing for me. Only problem is, my parents would burn him alive for being with me. He would find himself chain to the pole out in my backyard and being set on fire. I couldn't see that happening to him. though there was something about him that pulled me to him. "Roku, are you okay? You're kinda just staring at me and it's a bit creepy." He laughs and smiles.

"Just thinking, so tell me, there was a vampire back when I was little that saved my life, was it you?" He froze a bit. "Julia told me, she said she seen you and Andy there. The vampires name was Scott and he was with the guys that own the club and that turned Jake and Jinxx. You know, we never heard your story or Ashley's or Andy's." We went to the outside lunch tables and just sit down for lunch.

"Ashley and Andy's stories are not mine to tell, and you all know what happen to Jinxx and Jake because Ella and Alice told you all." He sat down with us and just sighed. "As for my story, I don't think you guys would want to hear it. I mean I hate reliving it. It's totally different then the others. My story, I was meant to die but Andy saved me. He also teach me something very important too. No matter how painful is was, lesson learn." I just looked at him and he seem to zone out.

"Guess you're really not ready to tell the story?" He just shook his head. "Please just tell us, I mean we are going to find out all your stories sooner or later. So maybe just telling us would be good now." I just looked at him and he seemed to zone out. I wonder what he was thinking about.

*CC's POV*

I could feel their eyes on me, they were waiting for me to tell my story. I remember is as clear as day. I just sighed and looked at them all. "You all really want to know?" They nodded and I just sighed. "It's not a nice story....not a nice one at all. Though it goes back to my hometown of LA." I just took a deep breath before I felt Roku's hand on mine under the table so that no one could see her holding my hand. I looked at her and she nodded letting me know she will stop me if it gets too bad. I smiled softly before just going back to that day.

*Flash back*

I was working all day at the hospital in LA. I couldn't find a band that was right for me and I wanted to try and get into a band that was well known. I know there was one band that just lost their drummer, I was going to go for that one but then I seen this ad and my friend was leaving her band to another one. It was her band that was the ad for. So I was going to go for that one. But as I was getting ready to leave, my boss wanted me to fill up all the vans to make sure they had gas for when we needed them. So one by one I was doing that. As I got back into the parking area. I seen shadows moving around in the parking lot. I seen ghost, so it wasn't anything new to me. I thought it was ghost messing with me again.

"Just stop, okay stop fucking messing with me! I'm tired of you fucking ghost messing with me!" I know I shouldn't yell at spirits but I was ready to go home. It was 2 am in the morning, I was tired, worked all day and it was time to go home for me. I was walking out to my truck when I heard something run behind me. Okay, so it wasn't a ghost. I started to walk faster and was almost at my truck when I was pinned against it and came face to face with another human. "W-w-who a-a-a-are y-y-y-you?" I hated myself for not screaming for help or even getting words out right.

"You look so yummy, I wouldn't mind killing a cute thing like you, you probably taste so good." She smirked and her eyes were red, her fangs were longer then most vampires and I know they were real. I always believe in them but here I was, to be killed by one. She lean her mouth against me neck and kissing the one area on my neck. "You're so scared, your heart is pounding and making the blood run through your vains like crazy. I think this will be fast and painful for you." She kissed my neck more and I could feel her fangs dig in a bit.

"Please stop, I just want to go home. There is so much blood here. I can go get you some, just please, please let me go." I whimper as she dig her fangs a little deeper that the tips were under my skin. "Please let me go, I don't want to die." I was shaking and freaking out.

"Shhhh, I'll try and make this painless for you then. Look into my eyes." I couldn't help but do what she told me to. Everything around me disappeared and all I could see what red. "Good boy, now just relax, don't fight and it won't hurt." I did was she told me to, I felt the fangs go deep into my neck but that was the only pain. I didn't feel anything else.

As time went on, it seem to go slower, soon I couldn't hold myself up anymore. I slowly started to fall. She help me to the ground and lay me down. She was now leaning over me and I could just feel the life slipping away.

"Get off of him!" I heard someone yell, it sounded like a guy. "I won't let you kill a human that don't deserve death!" I feel her fangs rip out of my neck and she hissed at someone.

"What you going to do? Just let me eat my food and I'll go, he's almost dead anyways, so let me have the last few drops." She was pissed.

"Sorry but we can't let you do that." There was another girl voice and I heard something like fire and the scream. I don't know what was going on, nothing was working, I couldn't move, couldn't talk, couldn't open my eyes. I was useless and I could only listen. "Save him or let him die. This is your only chance to save someone. Show us what type of vamp you are." The girl told I guess the guy.

"Just do it Andy, he's going to die, I can sense him listen to us and he's really weak. But you can save him." I heard another guy say.

"You can help him too, being his creator you can teach him stuff and he won't be gone. Ashley even agrees with it. Jinxx and I do too." I heard them names before but I couldn't think who they were.

"Fine, I'll save him, Jake get the truck, we are going to need to get him away from the city after I turn him. I don't want him to hunt people." I felt someone come over to me and knee down, I had him sigh. "It's okay, you'll be safe." I feel someone else move over to me and got my mouth open. I felt something warm drop into my mouth but I didn't know what it was, it could have been anything, this could have been a fucked up dream.

"I trust you to teach him well, I been watching you all and I'm shock to see how much you all live as humans even though you're vampires. He's gifted too, not as much as you, Jinxx and Jake is but still gifted. Take care of him." I passed out after that. I don't know what happen next but I remember waking up in a cabin with new senses. I looked around and there were four other guys there, one seem to be a leader and I could tell there was also this feeling that I had to listen to him.

"Who are you people? Where am I? What am I?" As soon as I asked the questions. The other three seem to walk out of the room, leaving me with the one that I thought was a leader. He sighed a bit before speaking.

"Do you remember anything that happen last night at the hospital? I mean it, think about it." His voice was calm for now and I closed my eyes trying to think about what happen the night before. It all came rushing back to me, the vampire girl that nearly killed me, the people that stopped her. This was the guy that told her to let me go, that means he's the one that....

"You turned me into the monster like the one that attack me." I was mad, and went to stand up but he was on his feet too.

"Not all of us are monster! The one that nearly killed you yes, she was one but not me, not the guys and sure as hell NOT YOU!" When he said that, fear hit me. I see because he was my creator, the person that turned me into what I am now. He has full control over me. It only pissed me off more.

"I don't want to be here, I'm going the hell home!" I walked toward the door but before I could do anything. He was right behind me and slammed me into the wall, making sure I couldn't get away from him. "Let me go!"
"You're really out of control, and until you can show me you have control of your skills and everything. You can't go back to your friends and family. And don't give me that look. I mean it. NO GOING BACK TO YOUR OLD LIFE!" With them words, they cut deeper then a knife could ever. He didn't hurt me, just made sure that what he said goes.

"Fine, who are you people anyways?" I just looked away from him.

"You should know, your friend left our band and told you we needed a drummer." I looked at him in shock. So this must have been Andy, the other three Ashley, Jake and Jinxx. "Questiong is who are you?"

"Christian Mora, or Coma depending the name. Sometime I go by Chris and even CC." He just laughed a bit and nods before letting me go.

"Well looks like you're prefect for our band now. I rather have a all vampire band anyways." He smirked and wasn't as bad as I thought he was.

Weeks, Months and years went by, I watched my friends and family at night when they all slept. My girl was heart broken that they couldn't find anything about me. That I just up and disappeared, it was so painful to watch. I wanted to go to her and let her know that I was okay. But Andy told me it would be a bad thing. Not everyone likes vampires and some humans don't even know they are real. Andy has teach me everything and the way of living like the rest of the band, though I was still unable to control myself around humans. Even right now I was having a issue. I really shouldn't be watching over them like this. Andy would flip out. I soon seen Liz's lights go on in the house and watched as she ran to the phone. She picked it up but frown when I guess it wasn't who she wanted it to be. I looked at my phone. Andy was going to kill me but I needed to make sure that she was okay and that I was alive. I called her number and she told the person she has to go before answering "Hello?"

"Hey, it's me...can we meet somewhere?" I heard nothing and frown. "Liz?"

"Oh my god, where have you been there is so many people looking for you Chris! Where the hell have you been?" She was freaking out but was happy to hear my voice.

"Listen, meet me at our spot and come alone. I need to tell you something and I don't know how much time I have out here to be on my own before someone comes gets me." I heard her sigh.

"Fine, I'll meet you at our spot in an half an hour and I'll come alone, but you better not be fucking with me Chris I swear I'm going to snap on you! We all have been worry sick about you. Even you parents went looking for you in your hang out places. Can't I at least tell them?" She was pushing the luck.

"Just you, I'm not even allow to talk or see you but I'm breaking the rule. Before you ask, I tell you everything when you get there." She said okay and hang up, I watched her go to the bathroom to get ready but I left before she was in the shower. I really am going to miss her.

I walked to our spot in the park and just sat on the table waiting for her. It was over an hour later that she show up. I smiled at her as she walk over and sat on the table next to me. I had this feeling to rip into her throat but fought back to keep my cool.

"So, what you have to tell me? You look different, didn't age at all but looked like you got younger in a way. Where have you been?" She was hitting me with too much and I decided to go with the truth and full story startiing with the hospital and the vampire that attacked me.

"A lot of crazy shit happen over a year ago, they wouldn't let me leave work until I put the gas in the cars making sure they were ready for the next day. I was walking out to my truck and this bitch jumped me. I don't even know where she came from. I was slammed into my truck and when I looked at her, I seen she was a vampire. Before I could make a run for it, she attacked me. I nearly died becuase of her. Then this guy and his group came out of no where. Tell her to leave me alone. But I was already dead, I was just laying there breathing my last breathes in this world." I looked at her and was just looking at me so I kept going. "Then these other group of people came and killed the girl. I remember one of them telling the guy, 'save him or let him die, this is your chance to show you are the vampires you say you are.' or smething like that. Then that's really the only last thing that I remember from that night. I woke up in this weird place and their were four other guys there. Found out they were vampires. Three of them walked away and left me with the one that turned me into a vampire, told me that I wasn't allow to see you or my friends or anyone anymore. I'm breaking the rulers right now even talking to you alone." I looked over at her again and the look on her face bother me.

"You want me to believe something that fucking stupid? How do I know you didn't run off with that fucking girl from that night! Chris, that is the most fucked up story I ever heard! I'm going to your parents and I'm telling them to get you fucking help!" She got up and walked away but I moved fast and stepped in front of her. I was trying to keep my cool, my anger was the reason I killed people. Though I didn't know how much Andy could sense right now.

"No you don't understand! I'm not lying. I really mean what I said!!!" I stopped her and showed her the fangs, this only cause her to scream and take off running.

"I don't even know who you are anymore! Just get the hell away from me I'm calling the cops! You're a fucking monster!!" I ran after her but what really sucked was when Jinxx and Jake grabbed me and held me in place and Ashley had Liz, he seem to have her quiet and she just dropped her phone, it's like whatever he was doing to her, made her just freeze and look at him.
"Damn it Christian!" I flinched as Andy walked out of the shadow, he really did put fear in me and he looked at what was going on. "It's good we have Ashley with us or she would have fucked up all of our lives. Though you also leave me with no choice now." He walked over toward her and I wonder what he was going to do.

"Andy....what are you doing?" I was trying to break free from Jake and Jinxx though the two together were a lot stronger then me. "Andy I swear don't do anything to her! Andy? ANDY!" I seen what his plan was now as he made sure that Ashley had her mind busy. I seen him do this with girls we all could feed on. He would pulled them into his trap, make them willing to give us a drink, but he would make it that they feel no pain or even remember what happen to them or that they were even food to a vampire. "Andy, please....."

"I'm not playing around Christian. I told you, a lot of humans don't know about us here. It's why after this is done we are moving. LA will no longer be our home." He looked at the guys and then me. "We will travel the world, still be a band, but we will not be here. I talked to the hunters that helped us all. There is a town called Eclipse Hollows, that is where we will be moving to. We tour there once, but now I think it's going to be our home because you can't listen to one fucking rule!" I flinched again at his voice, he was really mad and I just watched in horror as he dug his fangs into my girlfriends neck and Ashley walked away back over to me. Mostly to keep it out of my view what was happening.

"No....." I just felt everything just leave me. It must have been bad because the other two let me go, just to watch me fall to my knees. I hated that I couldn't cry, I really wanted to right now.
"Chris...." I just looked up at Ashley and seen him frown. "Andy, this is going to destory him." He turned and looked at Andy but I didn't hear him reply. Not for a good few minutes before he walked over to me and grabbed my arm and pulling me toward the car that was there.

"I don't fucking care, I told him. I fucking told him. We all left our families, our friends, everyone we fucking care for. None of you fought me on that rule but he did. Not get rid of the body." He just kept pulling me.

I looked behind me to see Liz laying there dead and Jinxx setting her body on fire, but it was a different fire, it only took a minute for the whole body to be nothing. I felt so heart breaking. I was numb and I couldn't fight. I didn't want to live this life anymore and when I was thrown in the back of a car, Ashley and Jinxx getting it the back with me and Jake in the front with Andy showing him where to go. I just decided that maybe I could piss someone off and get killed.
We travel around Eclipse Hollows for a while and what really sucked was we ripped out our own fangs to show the hunters we meant no harm. We were all in the woods one night and were just fucking hungry. The guys were all asleep at the time but me. I sneak away and found a mental rod in the woods a few yards away from the guys. I sat against the tree and tried to keep myself control so Andy wouldn't sense anything, I kept my mind block so that Jinxx couldn't find out what I was up to. I took the pole, it had a very sharp tip on it and I put it over my heart. I don't know how to kill vampires. I know you burn them but I didn't want to set myself on fire. I pushed the tip into my chest but didn't get far, it was just about it hit my heart when Jamie found me.

"You poor thing, you look you're in so much pain. Something bad happening to you." She took the pole from me, throwing it away from us and cutting her arm known I didn't have my fangs. Thank god Ashley's no pain thing worked on us too. "Drink, I know you don't have fangs so just drink. You're hungry, I can tell your whole group is..." I just shook my head and turn away from her. She sighed and looked up at someone. "Nick, they are just children. The oldest can't be anymore then 200, the other two that look the same almost are about 150 and the other is 50. This one even younger, like 3 years if not 5. So he's really new and learning yet. We can't just let them out here. They will die from refusing to drink and showing everyone they mean no harm." She pulled up my shirt and frown. "I mean it drink because your wound isn't healing. You're too weak...."

"No..." I just looked away from her but then I seen Andy and the others come into view, they looked sick but a bit better, they were with the man.

"He's new, it's just best to leave him be for now. He's been through a lot but if your husband is telling the truth about you giving us a place. We will be happy to take it." Ashley walked over to me and helped me up.

"I never seen a vamp so young refuse blood or try to kill himself." She looked at Andy and all four of them looked away. They know what they let Andy do was wrong but still left it happen.
"I don't want to talk about it, and we will never talk about it again. Do you understand Christian?" I flinched at his words and nods. "Good, then we move on....now fucking drink because I'm not letting you go with a fucking wound in your chest. And if you try to kill yourself again and I'll fucking beat the shit out of you myself!"

I just did as he told me to, Jamie looked at me and was really worry. She could tell that Andy had control over how we all acted but mostly me. "I see, so you are his creator? So I take it he did something and you punished him for it. Though you have to watch what you do. It can hurt deeper then you want it to. You young ones have a lot to learn, but I can give you all the info you will need about the ways of vampires, hunters and half breeds. I will take you kids in as my own and protect you all. Now come on, let get you all set up in the house." We followed her that day and ever since she always lead us in the right places. I was able to move on too. But I will never forget that lesson Andy made. You follow rules or bad things happen.

*end of flash back*

The girls were just looking at me and I hate that I couldn't cry, vampires can't cry and it fucking sucks. "I need to go." I got up and leaving Roku, Cambria and Chloe there. They called out to me but I was gone I walked past Andy and he gave me that look and I just shook my head. He frown and I think he knew what happen. I just stopped Ashley. "Please, take me home....I don't want to be here anymore. Please....I don't you don't want to be here either because of 'her'. So please just take me fucking home...." My voice was shakey, my anger was starting to get to me and I didn't want to hurt anyone. So he nodded taking me home and staying with me.

*Roku's POV*

I didn't know how to react to Chris's story, I looked up to see Andy, Jinxx and Jake coming over to us. I didn't see Ashley thought.

"Where's Ashley?" Chloe was really attached to him. I found it really cute because for some reason, I was attached to Chris and Cambria was attached to Andy.

"He took Chris home, I'm guessing he was telling you about his past. I had to come to make sure he was okay because I sensed him getting a bit worked up." Andy sat down with us and I just wanted to go, I got up and was about to walk away, but Jinxx stopped me.

"It's best to leave him be right now. Ashley's with him and that's just fine. He will be okay just needs alone time." Jinxx smiled at me but frown when I shook my hand.

"No, it was my fault, he didn't want to talk about it. I pushed him into it. I know you guys are trying to keep me from being alone with him. Don't think I'm stupid, I know what's meant to be. Though my family will kill him if that is true. But I can at lease be his friend." I go to walk away to find my brother to take me to their house.

"Roku, wait up!" I looked to see Cambria and Andy coming after me. Chloe right behind them. "Just let me take you there, your brother is going to be a dick about it. I know him a bit to well and these two said they would come with. I can always drive you home then." Andy smiled a bit. I looked to see Jinxx and Jake going into the school, so it seem they were going to stay. I just nodded and text Aiden letting him know I was going over to Andy's because of some more info he found that he would bring me home to let our parents know it was only Andy and no other vampire. I then got in the car with Andy and the girls. I really hope that Chris was okay.
As we got to the house, we heard crashing coming from upstairs and Andy rush up the stairs. "Ashley, what's going on???" Ashley just was leaning outside Chris's room before sighing.
"It's fucking insane right now. His anger is so bad. Andy I can't stop him, he's going to hurt himself if he keeps it up." I just kept hearing sounds of things breaking.

"Christian!!!!" As soon as Andy yelled it, everything stopped and the door unlocked and he walked into the room. "Damn it...." He runs to him and Ashley came in, they were both holding him down to the bed. "Come on, calm down, you need to calm down! I mean it Christian CALM DOWN! NOW!" Just like that he froze and looked off to the side at me and the girls. He frown a bit and just closes his eyes tightly.

"I'm sorry..." It was the only thing he could get out and when they left him go. He curled up into a ball. It was the first time I was upstairs in this house or even in one of their rooms. I looked at Andy and he nodded, him, Ashley and the girls walked down to the living room, leaving me up there with Chris. "Sorry my rooms a mess...."

"If it was that bad, why did you even tell me?" I didn't waste time and didn't care about the messy room.

"Because, I wanted you to know. To understand why Andy is always there. To understand why he so mean to me at times. He's my creator, Julia told him to save me and he did. But I always made mistakes and getting Liz killed was one that I never wanted. I should have listen to him, I thought she would understand and I was wrong." He didn't look at me and I walked over and just sit on the bed and hugged him. He stiffen a bit, froze but relaxed in my arms and just cuddle into my hold. I looked to see Andy peak in and when I nodded that it was okay. He left again.
"Not everyone understands vampires, it's why my family found Eclipse Hollows, they wanted the good guys to live in peace. The fact that Jamie and Nick stopped you from killing yourself, it means a lot. Things are not always going to be good. Right now just by doing this, my parents would be freaking out. I know we are meant to be, but I'm a hunter and you're a very young vampire yet. So get better control over yourself and listening to Andy more. He's only protecting you. He told you to stay away from her and your family because it was dangerous. There isn't hunters like this in LA, Julia was there because othesr called them in to kill all vampires, but she save you five so you can come here and live safe. But we have new danger and even if it's not to do with you, Andy, Ashley, Jake and Jinxx are all in trouble long with me and others. If they get you, they have full reach to Andy and me." He just looked at me and lean in and kissed me. We both smiled because now we knew we were meant to be.

"I guess you're right, we should work on that more. Thanks for being there." He just pulled me into a hug and closed his eyes. I think it's the first time I ever seen a vampire sleep. I smiled and I looked over my shoulder and narrow my eyes at Andy.

"Sorry, it's just I never seen him that calm, he don't sleep....not like the rest of us. Maybe you are good for him." Cambria walked behind him and hit him in the back of the head. "Ow, what was that for???" He looked at her and hissed his words out.

"No shit, dumb ass. They are prefect for each other. Now let them go, I'll tell Aiden she's staying at my house tonight and we will just sleep here. I know you vamps won't hurt us. You're too nice." She smirked and walked away, Andy follow her complaining about what she was saying and trying to talk her out of sleeping here. But I just laughed a little known they would make a cute couple too if Andy ever lightens up a bit. I still wanted to know his and Ashley story though. Andy didn't kill Liz for nothing, sometime told me that had to be something caused by his past to protect Chris like that by killing his girl. There was really something more to that story.

I just looked at Chris and for once he was just asleep, he looked so at peace and I ended up asleep in his arms.

A/N: Three stories down, two more to go...I feel bad for CC's Liz wasn't to die but my brain was all like 'hey we should do this!' and I went with my brain.

Notes
