Reid and I walked into the library. He closed the door behind him, I have no idea why, no one was in the house except for us. He walked over to the window and looked out and he smirked.
"Reid, do you know what happened to Jack?" I asked sitting down in one of the chairs.
He turned around biting his thumb nail. He walked over to me and got down on his knees.
"I don't know if I should tell you everything Grace. You're not that good at hiding your thoughts from Shane."
"I've been doing it for a while now. I know how! Please, Reid, please just tell me what is going on!"
He looked out the window again and then looked back at me.
"I just had to find a way to help you Grace. I couldn't stand knowing you were unhappy. I could see it in your eyes when we first met. Your cold eyes, they were so empty. I know what you are going to say, 'Vampires always have empty eyes, they're dead.' Grace, you have the eyes of a person that has been through something they shouldn't have been through. You lost your life, your family, you friends and your soul." I felt tears start to swell up in my eyes. I bit my bottom lip.
Reid smiled. "You were suppose to marry that football player and have three little football players and one cheerleader of your own." I put my hand to my mouth trying to stop myself from crying. It was true, all of it, I had a feeling from way down in me that it was all true. "But Shane came into your life and altered your reality. Changed the rules, made the game his, made you his.
"But when he changed you, he changed your destiny." I looked into his eyes and felt the tears fall down my cheeks. "You were destined to be with me after he changed you, not him, no one else. We were meant to meet. You're my soul mate Grace."
I wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him. "Oh Reid." He hugged me back tighter. I let go of him and stared into his eyes.
"But, what's going on?"
"Caleb, Tyler, and Pogue have Jack."
I looked stunned at him. "But how he's the next strongest and powerfulness next to Shane?"
"Exactly. Shane is the most powerfulness for now." He smirked at me.
"What do you for me now?"
"A witch has never been turned into a vampire before, Shane thought that I would lose my powers since I died, my powers died with me. Not really, my powers have grown stronger. They are growing stronger with everyday I'm a vampire and Shane has no clue.
"Caleb found a way to block Jacks scent from the others. A spell, basically Jack is invisible to us vampires and I kind of told them how to weaken him."
"No rest, no feeding…"
"Exactly."
"You said I can turn back to human, how?"
"Did you ever hear of the fifth prophecy in our vampire legends?"
"Yeah, the magic one will bring down powerful and mighty one to save the others." My eyes widened. "It can't be you! How can it be you?"
"We don't but it's worth a try. The fifth prophecy says that only the magic one can free your soul and change you back to a mortal."
"What about your soul?" I touched his chest and stared at the spot where I always imagined the soul to be, next to the human heart and when you turn into a vampire, the poison takes over and kills your soul, taking it down to hell.
Reid looked away.
"Reid, what about your soul?!" I asked a little louder.
He looked back at me. "I don't know."
I stood up. "You did this not knowing what was going to happen to you!"
He stood up in front of me. "I did this to protect you! I wanted you to be able to see the sunrise again! I promise you, you will be able to see the sunrise and I'm not giving up on that promise I just made." He bowed his head. "I'm tired of breaking promises to you, Grace. You had enough lies and pain in your time. I wanted to change that."
I lifted his head with my hand. "You don't have to promise me anything. I only want you."
He took this opportunity to kiss me. He hasn't kissed me in the longest time. I loved the way his soft lips felt, even softer than before, because now he's a vampire. He was just like me and the touch of his, because him being my soul mate, made me want him, made him very irresistible. I deepened the kiss and wrapped my arms around his neck. He pushed me up against the wall and ran his hand down the side of my body. He left a trail of kisses from my lips down to my neck.
"Reid, we can't, he'll smell you on me, he'll know," I whispered.
"No he won't. There could be a lot of reasons why my scent could be on you," he said against my skin. "You are even more irresistible now that I have you in my arms and I need you even more now that I'm a vampire, knowing I'm your soul mate. Oh, Grace, I need you!" He picked me up and ran me up to the fourth floor, where his room was. He laid me on the bed and kissed me passionately.
"Oh, Reid we shouldn't."
His hands ran over my body and felt so good but I knew we shouldn't because Shane will somehow find out.
I pushed Reid up and stared at him. We had both our fangs out, and I'm telling you, Reid was looking sexy with his fangs. I reached up to his face and traced his fangs with my finger. I grabbed the back of his next and pulled him down on me. Those fangs on him were just so sexy and I hated vampires, how could I think that sexy? I kissed him long and hard as if he was the air that I needed to breathe, but I don't breathe, I'm dead. He grabbed my hips and pulled me into him. I moaned into his mouth and it snapped me out of what we were doing.
"Reid. We. Really." I started saying between kisses. "Shouldn't. Be. Doing. This." I finally got my strength up from temptation and pulled him away. "They'll be back soon once they find out they can't find Jack."
He nodded and kissed me lightly. "One of these days, I am going to be able to get pass those undies."
I smiled and playfully glared at him.
"Or thong. Whatever you have on at the time." I punched him in the arm and laughed. "You're sick."
"I hear that a lot." He smiled and looked me in the eyes. We were sitting on his bed. He cupped my left cheek with his right hand and kissed me lightly on the lips. "I love you, Grace Virginia Madison forever."
"I love you and at this state we're in it may be forever."
He grimaced and got up. He held my hand and we walked down the stairs and into the parlor. He walked back into the study, I guess to try to find a book or something; I don't know what he was doing. I sat down at the piano and started blocking out today's events with Reid, Shane must never know. Never find out what the plan was, but I didn't even know what the plan was. All I knew was that he was the fifth prophecy of the vampire legends, at least I hoped, but his soul…No stop need to get these out of your mind before Shane comes home. Music will help me block everything out and put it in the back of my mind where everything else was. At least I was half right with my puzzle, he turned into a vampire to protect me.
I brushed my hand against the keys of the piano and started playing. I play at random, sometimes songs come to me that I know, sometimes songs that I didn't know, sometimes I would make up my own songs, it was different every time. I heard the front door open and I started playing.
"Din, din, din, din…din, din, din, din"
"Very funny Grace," said Travis walking into the parlor.
The corner of my mouth lifted up in a little smirk. I turned my head and didn't see Shane. "Where's Shane?" I got up from the piano.
"He wanted us to come back," said Dan. "He can't find Jacks scent anywhere. It's as if he just disappeared off the face of the earth."
"Vanished," said Charles.
"Oh my goodness," I said putting my hand on his chest.
The door opened up and Shane came through. "Shane," I said running to him. "Are you alright? Is everything ok?"
"I can't find him anywhere," said Shane he put his arm around me. Ugh, I hated pretending.
"They told me. What are we going to do?"
"Wait and see what happens?" He walked into the kitchen and Reid started walking down the stairs.
"Wait a minute," I said following him. "We are just going to sit and wait it out! While some Vampire Hunter or more could be out there tracking us down! They know where we live! Jack was standing right outside our house when he was probably abducted!" The others came in as I yelled at Shane. He just stared at me. "You are going to let them pick us off one by one! What if Charles is next? What if it's me? What if I'm the next one that they choose to kill? What if I'm out hunting and they find me?"
"Easy tell them you're a vegetarian and you only eat animals," said Dan laughing as he sat in a chair. The others chuckled too except for Shane. He just kept staring at me.
"You are going to kill us all if we stay here!" I couldn't let Shane think I wanted to stay here. I did because Caleb and the others wouldn't be able to follow us around to help Reid, try to succeed in killing Shane. I had to make it look like I was scared out of my mind that there were "Vampire Hunters" out there ready to strike at any minute.
Shane walked up to me and groomed my hair with his hand. He left it behind my head. "No one will touch you. I will swear to it. We will be watching you, all around the clock making sure that they will not get you." He turned the guys. "You all will be watching her when I'm not with her. Going with her to hunt, school, anywhere that she goes alone, you will be watching her."
"Even in the shower?" asked Travis smiling.
Shane growled and hissed at him and he stopped smiling and looked down.
"No vampire hunter will touch her."
