Vampire Shadows by Ameerah ZB

He’s Soo tall , with his ebony hair and dark eyes... ohh  I can get lost in those eyes, he's the perfect example of perfect, " Kara, come to say hi to our guest" mom said, destroying my train of thought, bringing me back to reality. I smiled as I made my way down the stairs, still staring at the strangely good-looking man.

 "Hello Kara," he said when I finally got to where they were standing. Mehn his voice sounds better than I imagined.

"Hi," I managed to say, barely audible.

     " This is your cousin Maxwell, he's Victor's son.”  mom said, excitement visible in her voice.

    "Oh" was all I could say. So it's Maxwell, well, I'm not surprised I didn't recognize him, we haven't met in ages the last time I saw him was 12 years ago, I was just 6, I don't even have clear memories of him, but I do remember that our families were close, Uncle Victor is Mom's only brother, they grew up together after losing their parents in an accident. He took over their parent's business and made sure mom grew up comfortably. Years later, he got married to Max's mom and mom got married to dad . Even though they lived in different cities, he made sure to keep in touch with us, they always visited during summer breaks.

     But things changed after his death. His wife made sure she cut all ties with us, for reasons Known only to her. It still hurts mom cause she couldn't meet Max anymore , her last surviving relative.

     " Maxwell is here on a business trip, he called and said he'll be staying at our place through out the trip" mom said " go and freshen up sweetie, dinner will be ready in thirty minutes. Kara please show him to his room" .she added.  "Okay" I murmured.

      The walk up the stairs was long and quiet, it was damn tiring, and fact that his eyes were on me the  whole time, wasn't helping! .

   I've always wondered  why  our house didn't have an elevator, it's a mini Villa for crying out loud. After what felt like forever, we finally arrived! "Your room," I said, opening the door, "enjoy your stay"  I added, before leaving the room quickly.

     Huhhhh what a relief, finally I'm going to be on my own, and I have thirty more minutes to enjoy .
