TRUEBLOOD(THE MULTI REED) novel Chapter 1

I didn't know he was that good but none of them knew why I was called AB. I took my stance but I sensed an attack from behind and ducked a bat swung to my head. I turned in the direction it came from and saw it was Drex.

"Cowards" I mumbled, sending a kick to Drake who caught it. I sent a second kick to him with my other leg, making him release my right leg. I spun, evading Drex's bat attack. I did a front roll then a sweeping kick, making him fall flat on his back. Did a side roll, evading Drake's stomp, and seized his retreating leg. I pulled it and he fell backward. I jumped on him, brutally punching him. I saw Drex charging towards me. I waited for him to get close and hurled Drake in his direction, causing both of them to crash into themselves. Drake got up with his veins bulging from his skin. He sent a punch towards me, I deflected it but the impact of the punch still made me stagger backward. I did a front flip, landing behind him, and quickly grabbed him by the waist,suplexing him to the floor. He went face-first to the ground, passing out immediately. I turned in Drex's direction and growled.

"One more step and you'll be in the sickbay" I threatened. He advanced, running past me to help Drake up. Normally, I was expecting the crowd of students to cheer me but murmurs were all I heard.

"Young man ,you got your ass expelled in Jacksonville high and you're now getting detention on your first day in Bartlesville" I heard a familiar voice say. It was a familiar voice and I turned in the direction.

"Maddie???" I shouted in shock.

"I guess we meet again" she replied, poising before me.

"Young man, to the principal's office" she replied, walking back to the school building.

"Now I'm in trouble" I mumbled, trudging behind her.

As Abel followed Maddie, Drake scoffed as Sean and Dean approached him.

"I told you. He's one of us" Dean said, tapping his shoulder.

# Abel

Man, that was the craziest moment of my life. Trashing two bullies on my first day then detention. Damn, I hated the moment Maddie showed up. For God's sake, she was the same snitch who caused my expulsion from my previous school; She was one of those young, fresh ladies that just graduated from college and were offered teaching jobs, and trust me she's been on my neck since we first met.

The moment I was dismissed, I ran home not sparing a minute. As I got home, I met a shocker. A well-built man was walking down the stairs, sweating heavily like he just fought an Alligator and all I could hear my mom yells from her room was.

"Come get a shower, Darak".

"Umm, hi" I said, casting a suspicious look at the man who seemed shocked. He had an expression that told he wasn't expecting to see me.

"Hey, Abel" he said, running his right palm on his magnificent hair.

"Hi, who are you and how do you know my name?" I asked although I already knew he was someone close to my mom.

"I'm Darak. A friend of Evelyn" he replied. Boy, this guy had guts mentioning my mom's name.

"You're lying. I guess you're her boyfriend and you just tapped her" I half yelled.

"Tap?" He asked, probably not knowing what I meant.

"I mean, you just had a great time," I said, demonstrating what I meant to him with my fingers.

"Oh. Do you mean that? Wait... You're like 16, how the hell do you know that?" He asked, feigning anger.

"Chill man, I'm 17. Seems you don't know what this generation's all about" I chuckled.

"Hey honey. What took you so long?" Mom asked, walking down the stairs. I wanted to lie but she cut in.

"I know you were in detention. You got into a fight and won". Like seriously? How the hell did she know? Is she a telepath? Were the thoughts running through my mind.

"Well, who's he?" I asked, trying to change the topic.

"Oh... He's Darak, my fiancee" she replied, hooking her arms with his'

"Whoa, so he's the reason we moved to Oklahoma?" I asked, feigning jealousy.

"I smell jealousy here" Darak mocked.

"I'm not jealous. Anyways, I've got a few assignments. If you need me, I'll be in my room" I said, running up the stairs then into my room.
