A/N: It's been a while since I updated, and I apologise. I've been really busy. I'm hoping to get a few more chapters up in the next few weeks. Enjoy Chapter 8, Getting To Know You!
'Meet Kirsten, my best friend.'
The words registered slowly with Matt, Carol and Tyler. Rosalia and Kirsten just smiled, unable to contain their excitement at seeing each other again.
'Your best friend?' Tyler questioned. 'Yes.' Rosalia replied sharply. Tyler leant forward and whispered in Rosalia's ear. 'But she's human.' Rosalia reeled back in shock.
'And what does that have to do with it, you filthy mutt?'
The whole room turned to stare at the commotion and their gazes followed Rosalia as she stormed out of the room as fast as she could, whilst not using her vampire speed, as Kirsten followed swiftly behind.
Tyler looked at Matt. 'What did I do?' Matt grimaced and shook his head in disappointment. 'You insulted her. '
Tyler opened his mouth to apologize, but Matt whipped his hand up to silence him. 'Follow me.' Matt nodded his head in the direction of the gardens, and the two men walked outside.
Matt turned to face Tyler as they strolled through the gardens. 'You insulted Rosalia, but what's worse is that you insulted her humanity. Rosalia tries so hard to keep a grip on humanity, and Kirsten is all part of her humanity. Rosalia is really sensitive, you of all people should know that. You dated Caroline and those two are very similar!'
Tyler smiled meekly. 'I'm sorry. I really am. But I'm also confused. How does Kirsten help Rosalia keep a grip on her humanity?'
'Kirsten is a descendant of Rosalia's childhood friend, when she was human, but she is also a doppelganger of her ancestor. Does that make sense now?'
'Yeah, Thanks for explaining. '
By this point, the two men had walked around to the front of the house, where Kirsten and Rosalia sat on the steps, Kirsten holding Rosalia as she sobbed. The girls looked up as Tyler cleared his throat. 'I'm sorry, I really am. I do not think sometimes, and I did not mean to insult you like that. Sorry.'
A/N: Thanks for reading! Review?
