Chapter 9
It's been about a month since my move here, and about 2 weeks since my grandparent's funeral. I can't believe how horrible my life is turning out, first my parents die, and then my grandparents die, all within a month of each other. I've confided myself to my bedroom the entire time just weeping and crying every night thinking about the family that I no longer have. Everyone including Liam tried to talk to me and comfort me all to no avail. Honestly I wasn't really ready to talk to anyone let alone return to school. Suddenly I heard someone knocking at my door.
"Go away Jeremy" I said putting my pillow over my head. Since my grandparent's death, Jeremy has since moved in, claiming that he wouldn't feel right leaving me to live alone in such a big house.
I heard the door open and shut and I reluctantly looked up and saw Jeremy bringing in a plate of food.
"Come on Amelia, you need to eat" Jeremy said placing the tray on the bed.
"Later" I mumbled.
Jeremy sighed and moved the tray and sat next to me on the bed.
"Amelia I'm very worried about you, and as the rest of your friends are" Jeremy.
I sat up on the bed a little and scoffed at him. "I have lost my entire family in a matter of months, and people act like that after a couple of days I'm supposed to be a smiling and happy. You don't understand how I'm feeling; I have this void in my heart that I don't think will ever go away." With that I went back to sobbing very hardly, but Jeremy hugged me and rubbed my back while I continued to cry.
"Believe it or not I know what you're going through" Jeremy said trying to comfort me.
"You do" I asked pulling out of the embrace to look at him, and to my surprise he was fighting back tears.
Jeremy nodded and said "When I was in my teenage years, my parents were driving with my sister on their way home, when their car swerved and fell off the Wickery Bridge, my sister was the only survivor. Than months later our Aunt Jenna was turned and killed by an insane vampire. After that Elena and I were left with no immediate family."
"How did you deal with it" I asked ignoring the burning sensation from my eyes from all the crying.
"There were times I wondered that myself, but then I remembered all the people that I cared about and how much they mean to me, they helped me so much. Back then we was going through so many situations dealing with all sorts of supernatural stuff, and all I cared about was protecting the people close to me because they became part of my family."
Jeremy was right, in sort of weird way my friends became a part of my family, and I've been pushing them aside.
"I think I understand, but with everything going on, like finding out about the adoption and my grandparent's death, I don't know how they will be able to help me" I said honestly.
Jeremy smiled and said "Well then get dressed and let's go." Then he quickly left my room. I was very confused, but went ahead to start getting changed.
Jordan's POV
I was walking towards the old mansion, where were suppose to attempt to cheer Amelia up. Honestly I don't see how this will work, I mean she just lost the rest of her family and recently found out she was adopted from birth. Still there's a huge part of me that just wants to comfort her. It's strange ever since Amelia moved into town I feel connected to her somehow, and I can't figure out why. Every time I kiss Emma it feels so wrong now, and every time she questions it I just keep reassuring her it was nothing. I was suddenly pulled out of my thoughts when I bumped into someone. I turned around and saw a man about in his early 20's with blonde hair picking up what appeared to be books and putting them back in a box he was holding.
"Hey sorry about that man" I said getting down to help him pick up his books.
"It's ok accidents happen" he said.
When I got up I noticed a moving van right in front of the house we were standing in front of.
"You new here in town" I asked curiously, because I felt like I've seen him before.
"Actually I'm moving back, I was born here, but moved away a few years after my birth. I wanted to come back to my birth town because it's where my family had all grown up in, so I guess I just wanted to come back and reconnect with that" he explained.
Strange I honestly feel like I've seen this guy in town before, maybe he was visiting at the time or something.
"I'm Evan James by the way" he said with a smile offering to shake hands.
"Jordan Owens" I said shaking his hand. The moment though our hands touched I felt the electricity like I would with other halfas, but this was completely different, I felt like I couldn't breathe, it was like I was suffocating.
"Well um it was nice meeting you, but I really should be going" I said trying to breathe.
"Ok I hope we can hang out sometime" he said looking totally unaffected by me trying to breathe in and out.
When I was sure I was far away from Evan I let out a huge breathe. Just what the hell was that, I'm certain that he's defiantly a halfa, but never in my life have I experienced anything like that?
"Where have you been at, Amelia is almost here" Emma asked worriedly when I entered the mansion.
"Got a little side track" I lied.
"What's wrong" Emma asked noticing the worry looked on my face.
"It's nothing I promise" I said trying to convince her, and luckily she let it dropped.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell them about that Evan kid and what happened, but I knew it couldn't tell them now, we were all here to comfort Amelia and show her she isn't alone.
Amelia's POV
Jeremy was driving me to what I assumed was the mansion, because he parked the car by the field leading to the mansion. I knew I had no reason to be afraid, but I couldn't help but be a little nervous.
When we entered the room everyone was there, including Sharon, who surprised me by looking very sympathetic.
It was Jen that was the first one to speak.
"I know how alone you must feel Amelia, but we truly want to help you through this, I don't know if what we say here today will help you, but please just let us help you in anyway."
I was surprised when Sharon came up to me and said "I know I seem like a total bitch, and it's true I probably am because it's in my DNA to be intense, but it doesn't mean that I don't care or sympathize with other people. I apologize for making you feel like a freak after that training incident.
Then Sharon hugged me which really surprised me, but it only lasted for a second because she probably wasn't too comfortable with hugs.
Ethan came up to me with a vase of white roses, with a letter attached to it.
When someone you love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure.
Liam just came up to me and pulled me into a tight hug, which felt so warm. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Jordan giving a death glare to Liam.
I couldn't help, but chuckle a little, which seemed to surprise them. I looked up at them with a genuine smile.
I sighed and said "Thank you for everything you guys have done for me, I know we all got off to a bad start, heck I thought you all were lunatics. But know everything's changed, even though I lost my biological parents, as well as my adoptive parents and grandparents, I haven't lost my entire family, because all of you are my family now."
Everyone just smiled at me; I knew nothing could ever ruin this moment.
"Did you guys hear that" Ethan said breaking the silence.
At first I was confused, but then I heard the sound of someone moving outside.
"Someone's here" Jen said starting to panic.
"Stay inside I'll go check it out" Jeremy said hurrying to the front door.
After a few minutes there was no more sound.
"I wonder what's going on" Ethan wondered aloud.
Suddenly Jeremy came crashing through a wall, falling onto the floor.
"Oh my god Jeremy" I said running over to him. I sighed in relief when I saw that he was able to sit up. I looked up and saw a man standing in the hole in which he threw Jeremy. He must be a vampire.
"I knew I smelled something delicious" he said with a sadistic smile.
"Get out of here" Sharon demanded throwing her energy at the vampire.
What happened next completely surprised us all; after the energy hit him he fell to the ground, but got up completely unharmed.
"What the hell he should be dead" Emma said terrified.
"Lucky for you only one of you gets to die" he said before vanishing.
"Where did he go" Jen asked.
I carefully tuned everyone out, to listen very carefully for any sign of movement. I suddenly heard a foot move.
I turned around and saw the man behind Liam.
"LIAM WATCH OUT" I yelled out, but it was too late the man grabbed Liam's necked and snapped it before disappearing.
"NOOOO" I screamed out in terror.
Normal POV
"I finished the job Evan" the man said reporting to Evan, the same man that Jordan had met earlier in the day.
Evan smiled and said "It looks like my plan has finally set in motion after all these years."
