On the way back to Morganville me Eve and Shane spoke about our lives. I found out that Monica Morrel had had a crush on Shane and had burnt his house down in revenge when he didn't return her feelings. With his sister, Alyssa inside. He got out of Morganville and his mum seemed to remember everything which wasn't supposed to happen, so the vampires came and killed her to stop her talking. His father, Frank, made Shane come back and get revenge, but he hadn't. That worried me. Amelie and Oliver didn't know about that. I think they should and Michael looked as though he agreed. Because if it came down to Shane and his dad killing vampires, Michael would die too, so would everyone. People I try to protect. And Shane would be killed.
It took hours to get to Morganville and when we entered the towns limits, I felt home. I hadn't felt like I belonged back in the UK, but I felt like I belonged here.
Amelie and Oliver got their chauffeur to drop us at the glass house. We all got out and were about to go inside the house I had missed so much when Amelie stopped me.
'There is someone who would like to see you again first, and then we need to talk about everything' she had said.
I knew she meant Myrnin and his laziness had made me angry.
'Why can't he use the portals and come through. It never stopped him before, and can't it wait until tomorrow, I just want to relax tonight' I said
'No, he cannot, the conditions have stopped that happening'
'Oh for gods sake, he can come here, being crazy never stopped him before!' I was getting really angry now. I want one night to relax before I get to work.
I turned around and Michael could sense that I was getting worked up, so he tried to grab me, but I glared at him and he stopped. I tried walking up the stairs when Oliver grabbed my arm and pulled me back. Thats it I thought. I turned around and punched him in the face. I could hear the gasps from Shane and Eve. As far as I know, anyone who had physically tried to hurt Oliver had ended up dead. So imagine their shock when Oliver laughed, hugged me and said,
'Ahh, its good to have you back' And got in the limo
We stayed there for a couple of minutes before we went inside. When we did, I got attacked.
'How the hell did you just survive that?' Eve shouted
'I have known him for ages' I shrugged and went to put my suitcases in my old room. It really was good to be back.
I unpacked everything and went back downstairs. They were all in the kitchen so I joined them and sat at the table with Shane. Michael and Eve were making tacos, so me and Shane started talking.
'I'm sorry about your sister' I said, sympathy covering my tone
'Don't worry about it, Monica will do anything to get revenge on anyone who crosses her, its her fault and only hers'
'Don't worry, I will get my revenge on her' I said. I meant it too. Monica had one power, the power of never ageing. She made the mistake of killing my parents because I wouldn't give her my powers. I will kill her for what she did.
'Why would you do that for me?' He asked, confused
'Because friends look out for each other, and also because she crossed me, and she will not get away' I could feel the tears prickling at my eyes and Michael and Eve sat at the table.
'It's okay Kristina, I'm here, its okay' Michael said and hugged me.
We were a couple when we had gone to visit my parents. They lived here in Morganville and they were like his parents too. Ii still remember that day. Me and Michael had gone to see my parents and when we walked into the kitchen I had screamed and collapsed into Michaels arms. My parents were laid on the floor in a pool of their own blood. There was a note too. Which was from Monica. It said:
Dear Whore
You should have given me your powers when you had the chance. Your poor parents were the sacrifice for that choice. I told you that you would regret it. First you take away Michael from me, we could have been happy together! Now you won't give me your powers. You asked for this.
From, You Know Who
I kept that note with me all the time and it was currently in my back pockets of the jeans I am wearing now. Only Michael knew who it was. I didn't even know I was crying until Eve handed me a tissue. I thanked her and wiped my eyes. Thankfully I wasn't wearing any make-up.
'You ok?' Shane asked, looking worried. God he is so cute, I'll never get a chance with him though. I'm too strange for him. He's already made it perfectly clear that with the exception of Michael, he hates all vamps. I don't blame him, the vamps killed his mother. I'd be pissed too. At least the vamps are letting me get revenge on her when I want. This time, she will not get away.
'I will be thanks' I smiled at him and to my surprise he smiled back, so the topic of conversation changed to what we'd been up to, how Eve and Michael met then we went to the lounge and put a game on. Zombie killing. My kinda game.
