Ana's POV:I turn and I force myself to open my eyes. I check the time on my phone and get up . I wish I could just lie here with him all day , all night , even my whole life but that's just how it is supposed to be. I hug myself and try to find my clothes. God , why is it so cold right now? I search under my bed to find my top but I find myself looking at the shreds of the shirts , all teared . How did my shirt tore? Oh,yeah. Drew did that. My cheeks heat up at the memory of last night. I was so close to losing my virginity to the man I love the most. I almost caved and went through with it but the thought of leaving him was enough to make me think otherwise. I don't want my first time with him to be a pity fuck or a goodbye fuck. I want it to be meaningful , something nice and ever lasting. I had to stop him before it got to the point of no return and he immediately stopped and pulled back when I asked him to stop. Just like a gentleman, at first I thought he would be angry like most
Andrew's POV:I wake up because of the drills going inside my head. It hurts like shit. It's worse than a hangover and I didn't even drink yesterday. I turn the other side to shield my head from the sunlight peeking through the curtains , but my hand touches the cold sheets. My eyes open and panic hits me. Ana was supposed to be here, I was supposed to wake up and prepare breakfast in bed for her. Where has she gone?! I check the bathroom and the closet. " Ana?" I say and quickly fish my pants and search for my shirt. Where is my shirt? I stop searching and rush downstairs." Ana!" I yell and search each and every room , but there is no sign of her, not in the living room or even her aunt's room. I rush outside and search the backyard and garden." Ana! Where are you?!" I yell and call her name again and again , but I don't hear her . God , what If something happened to her? Please , be okay. I can't bear anything happen to you. I calm down and try to think again. It's better to thin
Andrew's POV:"Calm down , son. Please, Drew. It's breaking my heart. I can't bare to look at you like this. Please , stop." Aurora says in a small voice and hugs me closer. I stop crying and I get up from the ground . Pulling myself up with all my strength. " Hey, don't vampire speed again. Keep my human legs in mind , the next time . Okay? " Jerah enters out of nowhere , stops running and breathes harder. He chuckles , not aware of his surroundings but then his eyes meet mine, " Oh oh." He mutters." Let's go back inside. It's about to rain." Aurora says and we all slowly usher inside. I take a seat in the living room and rub my head. Alex sits by me and hugs me." I am so sorry Drew. Here, take this, it will reduce your headache." Charlie says and hands me a glass of concoction. " How do you know my head was hurting?" I ask him skepticallly." I helped Ana drug you up." He says." What?!" I exclaim, " Why would you do that?!" I ask him and then he starts telling me . Everything
Ana's POV: I drag my suitcase behind me , as I make my way to the address given to me by dad. God, it feels weird saying that. I look around but I don't see any house or even a restaurant, so I check the address. I walk further until I find a club and I notice a man staring at me. I ignore the feeling in my gut that is screaming creepy alert, and go towards him. I have never been in this area, so it's better to take my chances with this creep than getting lost. "Excuse me, is this the right address?" I hand him the paper but he looks at my wrist for a while before taking the slip. "Yes, Are you lost ?" He asks me, so I try to master my expressions and pretend but I fail at that. "You know, follow me and I will lead you to this place, it's a little further and this place is a labyrinth , so that's a good choice I am offering you." He says . I think for a while, weighing the pros and cons, before agreeing. If anything goes down the hill, I can always use my abilities to save myself.
Ana's POV: I toss and turn , trying to sleep , but each time , I close my eyes, my mind goes to Drew. I wonder what he might be upto? Would he have forgiven me? I hope he is not being harsh on his famliy or Jer and I hope the ache in his heart heals and I hope he moves on and falls in love again. No, that's a lie. I don't want that to happen. I can't bear to see him with some other girl, his hands around her and then he smiles at her , with dimples. She leans in for a kiss and- Nope , not going down that road. Not a nice way to punish myself for leaving him. I need to distract myself from Drew. I recall the boxes that Aurora gave me to open once I reach here, so I get up but immediately regret it when I am greeted by cold floors and chilly air. I am probably freezing because the only thing I am wearing is a slip that Alex gave me as gift on her wedding. I quickly open my suitcase and take the box out. I sit on the couch across my bed and open the box . The first thing I see is a ph
I take the paper in my hands and slowly unfold it . It's addressed to me , so I take a breath and start reading it. ' My dearest Ana, By the time you read this, you would have reached where you are supposed to be . I know you must be sad and overwhelmed but trust me , it will get better with time. I have faith in you. Stop worrying about us , about Drew , we have your back. I am going to handle everything , so stop troubling yourself with that and move on. I understand why it must have been so hard for you to go through all of it at such a young age. You lost your parents and your aunt, you just discovered that you are a vampire and that you have a family who thought you were dead. It's too much for a teenager and you are burying it all , instead of going through it. Accept it , that is the only way you will really move on. Now you might be wondering why I gave you my diary. The answer to that is that I want you to hold on to it for me. If fate has it, we will meet again ,but until t
The huge doors creaking open and I clutch my hands at my side and enter as confidently as I can. Mia looks at my fists forming and holds my hand . I smile at her and she gives me one smile before leaving my side .As soon as I take a step inside I see various expressions on every person present . Some people gasp and some sneer and some look like they want to attack me . I gulp and Kai and dad stand in front of me." They won't hurt you." Kai assures me as he whispers .I nod briefly and look at the council." Everyone , Meet my daughter , Ella. " As soon as dad says those words , every body is shocked . They start firing questions at the same time and their voices are so loud that I flinch . How? She didn't die with Qetsiyah ? When did you find her? Where was she all this time? Blah blah blah." Silence!" Dad shouts and they take their seats. " I will answer all your questions but only if you stop talking and start listening. " He says and they all nod.Kai and dad sit , so I too fo
" So pretty girl , how old are you ? " Damien asks ." Just turned 18 . Why do you ask?" I cross my arms." No reason . You are about the same age as our Mia here . You both should get along pretty well." He adds." We already do , Damy." Mia adds and pulls me in for a hug." Vlad and I are going to train you tomorrow , so I hope you are ready for it." Damien says. " Well , Damy , I am so gonna kick your ass." I say with a smug face. Both Mia and Vlad start hooting and laughing." Ooh. Fiesty , huh?" Damien says before getting up ."Our friend's gonna love you." Before I could ask him about his so called friend, Vlad changes the topic." What shall we do with our day today, my friends?" Vlad asks ." You guys can do whatever you want somewhere else , because me and our girl here are going on a shopping spree and a fun night out . Just showing her this beautiful city we live in." Mia says and pulls me up." I will come too." Damien says." Girls only." Mia says and shoos them out of ou
