I'm feeling pretty proud updating after one day though I did have this chapter written for awhile. Also I have the next chapter written too! I decided I would like 10 reviews before I update since I know there is at least 100 people reading this I don't think it should be too hard : )
Gabby's POV
The night of the party I dressed in a emerald green sweater dress to match my eyes with black leggings and some store brand boots. Rob wore some nice black dress pants and a white blouse with the first two buttons undone. He looked quite handsome.
"I'm surprised you don't have a beautiful girl to show off to your brother and his friends," I joked to Rob.
"No because I have a beautiful friend to show off," Rob said smiling.
"Well thank you! You don't look so bad yourself," I answered blushing. I still wasn't used to compliments. Every time I got them I became embarrassed and felt I didn't deserve them.
"I see you have the food already set out," Rob said reaching to take the cover off of one of the plates of food. I smacked his hand. I knew I could do that without getting in trouble. Rob would never get so angry that he would hurt me.
"hey stop that! We have to wait for our guests," I scolded him.
"Oh, alright. I'll go get the special wine for our guests," Rob pouted.
"Gross! Well then I'll make myself a margarita," I said walking to the kitchen.
How could they like that wine too? Rob once told me that there was pickle juice and hot sauce in the wine. Who even thinks of putting that stuff in their drink? As I was making my margarita, the doorbell rang. I jumped a little. I still got nervous meeting new people because of the pain I was put through during most of my life.
"I'll get it!" Rob called to me.
"K I'll be coming out in a minute," I answered.
I poured myself a margarita and then made my way into the dining hall. As I entered the dining hall, I heard a vaguely familiar voice but I didn't think much of it. That is until I saw who's face it belonged to.
"Oh shit!" I said dropping my margarita in front of the guests in the dining hall. I just couldn't believe the sight before my eyes.
"Whoa Rob you picked yourself a clumsy toy tonight," the girl who bullied me throughout high school announced to the room. Shanna sat there in a black spaghetti strap dress that hugged her curves. I could tell she did not recognize me.
I looked around the room to study the other guests. Damon her one henchman sat next to her laughing at her lame joke. He didn't seem to recognize me either. Then there was her other henchman Charles or something sitting next to another blond I did not recognize.
Mindy also sat at the table. Unlike the ones before her she for sure recognized me. She gave me a small smile which I was too shocked to return. She looked beautiful tonight to. She wore a red halter top dress. Finally at the end of the table was the man that believed me to want to kill his family.
He looked like a god just as always. Though I was nervous what would happen I couldn't help but be in awe of his presence. He had his messy black hair just slightly longer than the last time I had seen him. I also noticed his blue eyes were still light not that stormy grey. At least he wasn't angry…well yet.
Mindy and Rob came over and helped me pick up my mess. I thanked them. At least Mindy still seemed to like me. Rob looked at me with a questioning look. I just shrugged my shoulders telling him I would talk to him later. But I figured if I was already doomed anyways I might as well get somewhat even with Shanna.
I walked over as casually as possible to Shanna. I then quickly lifted up her wine glass and poured it on her head. She let out a shriek of rage. She looked totally hilarious. I knew it would probably come back to bite me (literally) but I just couldn't resist.
"You bitch! What was that for?" she asked angrily.
"I'm sure you will figure it out soon enough," I answered evasively.
"And how are you Damon?" I'm sure you don't remember me either," I said with a smirk in his direction, "though who can blame you since you probably remember me with sweats, ponytail, and my face covered in bruises"
Even though I sounded like I was not scared at all, that was not the case. I was a bundle of nerves and terrified of what these vampires could do to me. These were the same people who hated me and wanted me to suffer. At least Shanna for sure.
"Gabby?" Charles or something or other questioned me.
"Yep and I'm sorry I'm not sure what your actual name is. But I'm sure it wasn't important when your fist was in my face" I said hearing a sound coming from Rob that sounded awfully like a growl.
"I am sorry Gabby. It was awful what I did to you," he said to me looking sincere. Hmm…interesting.
"Well we will have a conversation later and maybe I will forgive you. But right now I am interested in learning your name," I answered with a smile.
"Carlos," he replied returning the smile.
"Gabriella Gomez?" Shanna asked in disbelief. God took her long enough.
"yes you are a genius. Before we talk anymore I believe I should explain what truly happened 2 years ago," I said looking towards Alexander. Alexander looked at me curiously.
"Very well but I need to go get some fresh air. This is all just such a shock," Shanna exclaimed. I rolled my eyes. Did vampires even get light headed? As I was thinking this I suddenly heard Shanna's voice in my head.
I suggest you figure out a way to get outside soon otherwise there will be deadly consequences.
Well I didn't like the sound of that. I gave a slight nod in her direction to let her know I got her message. Shanna then proceeded out the front door. A few minutes later I made my oh so subtle move.
"Alright so I am going to go refill my drink and use the bathroom before I explain myself," I said heading towards the kitchen.
Now the hell was I supposed to get outside without making too much noise for the vampires to hear in the next room. As I arrived in the kitchen, I noticed the window was open with the screen popped out. Well how nice of Shanna.
I quickly jumped out the window of the night. The air was quite nippy due to the fact that it was late November in Minnesnowta, as some of the locals called it. I looked around into the dark night for Shanna. Suddenly there was a gust of wind and I turned around to see Shanna causing me to gasp.
"Holy Shit! You almost gave me a heart attack," I exclaimed.
"Good it would save me a problem," Shanna said with a sneer, "Now to business you will not tell anyone the truth about what happened!" Is she crazy? Of course I'm telling. I am not losing Rob as a friend.
"Unless you kill me now I don't see how you will stop me," I said. If she killed me now, everyone would know it was her.
"No you will be punished," she said with a smirk.
"Whatever, I've taken beatings all my life from my parents. And let me tell you, your beatings can't get any worse unless you plan on killing me," I said coming out less confident than I would like.
"It won't be her punishing you it would be me. And I would not be using beating as a form of punishment. Well at least not only beating," a voice from my past said. Oh please don't be him…
I know I'm so mean. Please R&R and I'll get the next chapter up faster!
