Today. The last day of school before summer. Wow. I wouldn't see Sky in school anymore. She graduates today. Time has flown by since last year when she moved here but she hasn't changed a bit. I contemplated this as I drove. I looked in the mirror. I looked just like my mom, with her blonde curls and blue eyes.
I finally pull up to school in my blue Mustang and got out. There was my best friend Schuyler, or Sky as we call her, waiting for me at the entrance.
"Come on slowpoke! I have to get ready," she said.
"You know there's not much to get ready for, its just a gown," I said and rolled my eyes.
"It is not," she said indignantly.
"Okay, whatever. Oh shit, I forgot my stuff in my car. Hold on, I'll be right back," I said and walked back to the car. I retrieved my bag and turn around and waved at Sky. I shut my door and we went in so I could do her make up.
After graduation, we went over to Sky's house to celebrate. Her house was huge. As we waked in, I heard a voice calling down the stairs, gradually getting closer as the source descended them.
"Schuyler, will you please -"
The source of the voice finally appeared. I have never met this man in my life but I felt a pull towards him. He tall but not too tall and had golden brown hair and dark eyes. He was handsome.
Apparently this handsome someone was quite upset with me.
"Who is this," he demanded in a deadly quiet voice.
"This is my friend, Christa Lockwood," Sky replied evenly, "Why?"
Tall dark and angry looked at me.
"You need to leave, right now.". That made me mad.
"No! Who do you think you are," I demanded and looked at Sky, who had become pale, for support. I looked back at the man, who looked surprised.
"Chris, maybe you should go. We can hang out another time.". I looked at Sky surprised, but I left.
I shut the door behind me but instead of leaving, I went over to the living room window and listened. I heard the man yell angrily.
"- you thinking? Bringing a Lockwood into the house! Foolish girl, I don't know why my brother married you. You're insufferable!"
"Klaus, I'm sorry, okay? I had forgotten-"
"Oh, you had forgotten had you! Well that's all right then! Maybe when you get bitten I might forget that I'm the only one who can cure a werewolf bite! Would that be-". I stopped listening and Klaus stopped taking. He had seen me. I tried to run but Sky was there blocking the path.
"Chris, just listen, I -"
"Don't waste words on the girl, just kill her!". Klaus was suddenly there at her side. Sky took a step toward me and I panicked and struggled against her grip. Suddenly I shoved her hard and Sky fell and hit her neck on the sidewalk. She wasn't moving.
"Oh my God, Sky!" I went to kneel down next to her but Klaus shoved me away. He knelt down and felt her pulse.
"Fuck! Foolish girl! Go home and tell your father what happened," he spit the word 'father'. I backed away and ran as fast as I could home.
When I burst through the door, Dad was sitting there at the table with Mom.
"Dad, Sky's dead! I thought she was going to grab me because I heard her talking to this guy Klaus about werewolves and it freaked me out so I ran and she grabbed me and I shoved her and she fell and broke her neck I think." It all came out in a rush and I realized I was crying.
"Tyler," my mom said warningly.
"Yes, I know Caroline," my dad snapped. I have never heard him snap at Mom.
"Christa, come into the living room and your father and I will explain the whole thing."
