Chapter 7: Believe Me Not

Gunther POV

"Brother, are you in there?!" Bob calls.

"Yes Bobchka." I reply. Bob glimpse inside the room with a pleasant smile on his face. "May I help you brother, because I don't see anything amusing about reading a book?"

"You tell me Gunther." He starts, "I'm not the one keeping secrets here."

I glare at him and slammed the book down on the desk. "Who told you? Was it Klaus or Tinka?"

"Tinka bell of course. In fact, she was pretty pissed off when she told me."

"That wasn't her responsibility to tell you." I say, turning red.

"Your right, It was yours. Not only am I finding out about this girl, but you're going around killing people in alleyways!"

"They were going to rape her Bobchka! What was I supposed to do, just stand there and let them?!" Bob didn't answer. He stood there trying to figure out what was happening to me. "You're not going to say anything to me now?! Answer me!"

Bob glaze up at me with a serious expression on his face. "We don't kill humans Gunther and we definitely do not fall in love with them.

"I –I tried not to, I really did. She wouldn't stay away. When I drank from her blood, my feelings only got worse."

"You drank from her blood?! Did you at least compel her to forget?"

"Yes I did." I reply.

Bob sigh in relief.

"It didn't work." I tell him.

"What do you mean compelling her didn't work? She is a human right?"

"I don't know Bob. I'm still trying to figure that out."

"This is berserk!" Bob shouts, pacing back and forth.

I sigh, "I know.

He stops in track, "you're an idiot."

I glance up at him, "I beg your pardon?"

"You heard me Gunther. You're an idiot! Any fool would have figured out that she's a witch."

I shake my head, "No that's impossible."

"Of course it's not. I fell in love with a witch right after we became vampires."

"Are you talking about Amelia?"

"Yes," He replies.

"Her mother was the one that put the curse on us in the first place," I started. "How come you didn't tell me this before?"

"The same reason why you didn't tell me," he replies. "Gunther, witches are powerful. They created vampires and they also can get rid of us just as easy."

"I didn't know."

He chuckles, "Of course you didn't know. How could you, if you don't talk to me about it?"

"Bob, I may be wrong about many things, but I'm pretty sure Cecelia doesn't know that she's a witch. She doesn't even know I'm a vampire."

"That's good that she doesn't know. Let's try to keep it that way, shall we."

"I don't know if I can." I mumble.

"Well you bloody hell better try!" he shouts.

"Gunther and Bobchka, what you guys doing in there," Grinkle asks.

"Talking Grinkle," Bob replies.

"I'm afraid you guys will have to cut that conversation short, because we have a problem." She explains. Bob and I glaze at each other before rushing out of the room.

CeCe POV (Chicago Carnival)

"What ride are we getting on next guys?" Rocky asks.

"I was thinking that we should go on the Ferris wheel." Logan replies.

"Okay! Rocky says, in excitement. "Are you guys coming?"

"Yeah, where coming." I reply in dizziness.

"CeCe, are you alright?" Liam asks, holding my shoulder.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little dizzy that's all."

"Are you sure that you don't need to sit down for a bit?" he asks. I start to see allusions and my head starts to spin. What was wrong with me all of a sudden and why do I hear voices inside my head? "CeCe seriously, are you sure that you don't need to sit down?"

I rubbed my forehead and shook it off, "I'm sure Liam. Let's just go on the Ferris wheel please."

He nods

"Come on you guys! We're next!" Rocky shouts.

"Coming Rocky," I shout back.

Liam and I sat in our seat waiting for the ride to start. When the Ferris wheel started to move, I can see somebody peeping at me from down below. For once, it wasn't Gunther and that's when I got really worried.

"Fireball, what are you looking at?" Liam asks.

I quickly glance at him, "Nothing….just enjoying the scenery."

"It is beautiful up here."

"Yes it is." I agreed.

Liam puts his arm around and I lay my head on his chest. The ride lasted only 3 1/2 minutes, than we had to get off. When we got off the ride, I was looking for Rocky and Logan and we didn't see them anywhere.

"Fireball…" Liam says, getting my attention. "I'm going to go to use the restroom, so don't go anywhere."

I nod, "I got it Liam."

Liam disappears in the crowded, while I continue to look around for Rocky and Logan. Unfortunately, I still didn't see them. Plus I look like an idiot standing in the middle of the park.

Somebody bumps into me, knocking my purse onto the ground. "I am very sorry," he says, picking up my purse.

"It's okay," I say, getting better look at his face. It was the same guy that was staring at from the Farris wheel. He looks older than me and his face was really pale. I got really nervous and quickly took my purse away. "I'm sorry I bump into you."

He nods, "No, it was my fault and I apologize."

"Okay, if you insist." I mumble.

"My name is Casper. Nice to meet you." He's says, extending his arm out.

"Nice to meet you too, my name is CeCe." I say, shaking his hand.

"Is that your first name?"

"No, it's my nick name."

"Oh." Casper nods once more. "Well CeCe, you have a beautiful nick name."

"Thank you." I blush.

"Hey CeCe, who are you talking to?" Rocky asks, standing beside me.

"This is Casper and I just met him." I reply.

Casper speaks, "nice to me you a…"

"My name is Rocky." she replies.

"Nice to meet you Rocky and who is the guy standing next to you?" Casper asks.

"That is none of your business." Logan groans.

"Logan! That was uncalled for." Rocky says.

"It's okay Rocky. I know when I'm not wanted here." Casper smirks at me. "Anyways, you guys enjoy the rest of your day and it was nice meeting you CeCe."

I smile, "It was nice to meet you too."

He waves goodbye before disappearing in the crowded. "Why were you talking to him?" Logan asks.

"He bumps into me by mistake." I reply.

"Well stay away from him, I mean it." Logan tells me.

Rocky glares at him, "what are you her dad or something?"

"No, however, I do know every face in Chicago and he is definitely not one of them." Logan explains.

"Okay inspector gadget. He could be in town to visiting a family for all you know."

"Please, with a pale face like that means only one thing, he's out looking for blood. Zam that." Logan says.

"Okay I see. So if I was pale skin that, you wouldn't date me?" Rocky asks."

Logan snorts, "What kind of silly question is that? You're not extremely white and I mean off white. Plus, I'm dating you now."

"Guys, he's gone. Let's just forget we ever met him."

Liam kisses me on the cheek, "I'm back. What did I miss?"

"Besides these to arguing, you didn't miss anything." I reply.

"Awesome, let's go eat." Liam says.

Gunther POV

"What's the big emergency?" Bob asks, walking inside the family room.

"Casper is in town." Kashlack replies.

Bob stands there in disbelief, "No it can't be papa."

"I'm afraid it is son." Squitza says.

"For how long, mum?" Bob asks.

"We don't know son." She replies

"Why did he even come here to begin with? Isn't his vault back in Sweden where we left him 300 years ago?" Grinkle asks.

"Yes, it is Grinkle. It's still unknown to why he came here in the first place." Kashlack explains.

"Maybe he got bored of all the women and power out there in Sweden." Klaus says.

Tinka snorts, "Please Klaus. If anything, he probably discovered someone more powerful than him that he trying to destroy."

"You have a point there Tinka bell." Kashlack says. "What Casper loves most about power is someone with power greater than his. For over the past 2 months, I've been sensing a even greater power close by us and I still can't figure out where it's coming from."

My eyes widen in shock when I hear my father say this.

"You don't say, papa." Klaus says, glancing over me with a smile on his face.

"Children, be aware that he also may be looking for more vampires to join his side and become his minions."

"Like hell! It's bad enough that I can't eat people, but now this bozo had to come into town, thinking that he runs the place!" Tinka complains.

"Tinka bell, you have to learn to control your temper. It's not very lady like of you." Grinkle explains.

"Sorry Grinkle, I'm really frustrated today." Tinka says, glaring at me.

"Gunther, are you alright son?" Squitza asks.

"I'm alright mum." I reply.

"Are you sure? You look sick." She says.

"That's impossible. A vampire can be sick unless they are love sick." Tinka says, aggressively.

"Sob off Tinka bell! You don't know anything!" I yell.

"Gunther! How dare you speak to your sister in that way?" Squitza asks.

"My apology Tinka, maybe next time you think before you speck." I say, rushing out of the house.

CeCe POV

"Thanks a lot guys! We had fun!" I shout.

"Call me Rocky!" Logan shouts from the car.

"You too CeCe," Liam yells.

"We will!" Rocky shouts back at them.

"That was fun." I say, walking inside the house with Rocky.

"Yeah it was. Plus, Logan is a really good kisser." Rocky grins.

"Oh yeah." I say, taking off my shoes. "You really looked like you were enjoying it."

"I really did. It was kind of my first kiss." She blushes.

"AWW!" I moan. "Now if you excuse me, I will be going to bed now."

"Okay, Goodnight!"

"Night Rocky." I say, walking up the stairs to my room and closing the door behind me. I took off my purse and threw it on my bed. Then I went inside my closet, trying to find my pajamas. There was a knock at the window, so I went to go see what it was. When I open up the window, nobody was there. "Hello!" Nobody answers. I was about to close it when a hand stops me from doing so. "AHHHH!" I scream.

"Cecelia it's me." Gunther says.

"What are you doing here?! You scared the living daylights out of me!"

"Can you invite me inside so I can tell you why I'm here?" he asks.

"How about NO," I reply.

"CeCe, are you alright in there?" Rocky asks.

"I'm fine Rocky." I reply.

"Okay." She says, walking away from the door.

"Please Cecelia, it's important. Do you think I would climb up on a tree, just for my amusement?"

I nod, "That sounds like a personal problem, but not mines."

"What if this problem affects you?"

"Does it affects me?" I ask.

"That is unknown." He replies.

"Then suffer in silences." I say, walking back to my closet.

"Please invite me in and I will tell you everything you want to know about me."

"Okay." I say, turning on my heel to look at him. "You may enter my room."

"Thank you," he says climbing inside.

"So what's the big secret that you've been keeping from me?"

"I'm undead." He replies.

I chuckle, "Well I can see that."

"There is nothing funny about what I just said Cecelia."

"Can you please stop calling me Cecelia? It's CeCe, not Cecelia."

"Isn't Cecelia the name your mother gave you?"

"My mother is dead. Is there anything else?"

"I think your incredible danger Cecelia."

"Yeah, by you, you maniac, you're the only person that tried to harm me Gunther and still you haven't giving me a straight forward answer to my question."

"I'm sorry that you feel that way."

"So am I, now get out!" I shout, pointing to the window. Gunther pushes me up against the wall and I wanted to scream for help, but he puts his hand my mouth. "What are you doing?" I mumble through his hand.

"I'm trying to talk to you but you keep pushing me away, like I'm some type peasant that doesn't give a damn about you."

"Then tell me because I'm tired of waiting."

"You have to promise me you won't tell anybody."

"I promise on my family graves that I won't tell anyone."

"I'm –I'm a vampire." He reveals.

My eyes lit up in surprise.

"Say something." He says.

"Wow, I heard about of vampires before, I just thought they weren't real."

"They are real and you're looking at an original vampire."

"You mean like, your 500 years old or something."

I'm 1000 years old, but who's counting?"

My mouth opens in shock, "Your 1000 years old?"

Gunther nods.

"So you mean to tell me that I was trying to hook up with an old man?!"

"I'm 17, if you want to get technical." He says, lifting his eyebrow up on me.

"Sure, that makes it a whole lot better!"

"Cecelia, I haven't cared about a girl so much in many many years."

"And…"

"You mean everything to me, too the point that I can't stop thinking about you 24 hours of the day."

"Dude, you really need to find something else to do with your life."

"I already have. I traveled all around the world and I was hoping that one day you would maybe want to travel with me."

"Well that's not going to happen because I have a boyfriend."

"That won't last long." He says

"Excuse me? You don't know anything about Liam. You know what? Just remove yourself from my room please.

"Sure, right after I do this." He says, kissing me passionately. I wrap my arms around his neck, forgetting that I even had a boyfriend. He pushes us further into the wall with his lips still attach on mine. I felt like I was going to pass out if we continue on like this. Then finally, he removes his lips from mine and stares at me with so much lust in his eyes. "That should have you thinking for the next couple of days. I will be going now." he says, climbing out the window and disappearing.

"I am in so much trouble." I say, to myself. "What the heck have I gotten myself into?!"
