A/N: I'm back! ... Hello? ... Guys? ... *cricket noises* ... Right. Okay, so I know I've been away for a while (like, two years) and I could go on for a whole novel about how sorry I am and that I have excuses but, none of us really care about that so I'll jsut get straight to it.
This lovely story below is the sequel to Like Glue (and if you haven't read Like Glue yet, you really need to, otherwise this story will make no sense) it's called Sticky Diamonds, though I'm sure you worked that out already, and basically picks up right where Like Glue left off. It includes a few new characters that I'm hoping you will love cause they are pretty awesome (yeah, Nadii, Jazz, I'm grovelling, what of it?) as well as all the old ones I (and I'm hoping you still) know and love.
I don't know how frequent updates will be, some of you might remember with Like Glue, chapters were updated once a week. Because I'm in my senior year (finally) I've got so much homework that if I piled it on top of each other, I'd be able to climb to the moon on it. Because of this, update times of Sticky Diamonds may vary in length and chapters may vary in size, but I hope to try and get a semi-regular updating schedule going.
To end unusually long author's note, I'd like to say thanks to Nadii, Jazz and lovelydasom. You can thank them for this story-they're the reason it's up here at all. Also, to you guys who haven't totally ditched me (which I'd understand) to read stories written by people who actually stick to their promises when they say 'im doing a sequel!', thanks, you rock.
Now, in the words of the amazing Lili St. Crow (check out her Strange Angels series, it rocked my socks off),
Let me tell you a story...
Sticky Diamonds
Roland's P.O.V
Prologue:
I stood watching the flames burn and snarled in frustration. Why did I have to lose control? I'd been able to change both Helena and Kenneth so why was I unable to stop with both of these insignificant humans? Now we were two troops down. At this rate we would never defeat the Volturi!
And where is Helena? We had split up over two hours ago. She should have been able to find Kala and bring her back in ten minutes. I found Kenneth in just five!
I moved away from the flames of the two burning human girls and stood beside Kenneth who had been standing at the opening of the cave since we got here, waiting for Helena and Kala.
"They should be back by now." He mirrored my thoughts.
"Yes, I don't understand what is taking them so long. Did they run into trouble? Another of our kind? Perhaps they are trying to convince them to join the Cause…" I reasoned.
Yes, that must be it, they have come across another vampire and are convincing them to join us.
I snarled again in frustration. If that was what they were doing they were taking too long. This whole operation had been a failure and now we needed to get out of the area before we were discovered.
"Should we look for them?" Kenneth asked, turning away from the opening.
I nodded, "Yes, they are taking too long, we must leave."
Kenneth nodded and without a second glance at the dwindling fire of human remains the two of us left the cave in search of Helena and Kala.
Kenneth led me to where he had last seen Kala and from there we picked up her scent, though it was faint, as well as Helena's, which was stronger.
We followed the two scents south until we reached the water where we stopped.
"Why do they lead here?" Kenneth asked in confusion.
That was the same thing I had been thinking. Why did the two scents lead us to the water?
Unless… No!
"What is it?" Kenneth asked in surprise.
I must have said it out loud.
I growled, "Kala, the stupid little girl, probably thought she could run away, get back to her family in that stupid little town we found her. Helena must have found her scent and followed her. They will be heading south, towards America."
With a growl of his own Kenneth said, "The little bitch! I'll tear her to pieces when Helena brings her back."
I narrowed my eyes as I looked out at the blue expanse of ocean. It had been two hours since Helena and I had split up, if she had followed Kala and found her she still would have met us back at the cave by now.
I shook my head, "No, Helena would have brought her back by now. Something happened."
Kenneth got a confused look on his face, the idiot.
"Think about it," Why did I change such an idiot? "Kala is in her element, water, with her power she could have easily defeated Helena."
He still had a confused look on his face, "So Helena is dead?"
"No, Kala would not have had a way to burn her, so my guess is she is just incapacitated."
Kenneth nodded, finally understanding. Idiot. "So what do we do?"
"We follow them, we will not have the scent but we already know where they would have been headed. We find Helena and create a new plan. Kala would have gone back to her family and will be well protected now so we will not be able to get her back just yet. Later maybe, but we need a new plan, and Helena, first." I answered.
Kenneth nodded.
With that we both headed down the shore and walked calmly into the water until we were completely submerged.
