Hey guys I'm so sorry that it has been foreven since my last update. I got busy with finals and then the SAT and ACT, it seemed like timed just got away from me. But now that school and tests are over hopefully I will be updating a lot more often. Also I just wanted to thank you to all who review because I'm happy to hear that you like the story. Anyways, please enjoy this next chapter and remember to review. Thanks :D

Chad's Pov: I woke up to complete chaos! I have no idea what the hell was really going on, but seeing Penelope made me understand everything. Right now I'm really pissed off that she told Tawni the truth, or in my case made her remember. I cared way to much about her to just let her die, but I couldn't just sit back and watch her live her life in pain. I couldn't live with myself. I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself, but it wasn't working at the moment.

That's when Sonny spoke up, "Can someone please tell me what's going? Like for starters, why you alive?" She pointed towards me, and had a total look of confusion. Crap now I have to explain things to her too.

"Oh that's a simple Sonny" Penelope began, but I quickly cut her off.

"Pen stop" I cleenched my teeth. I wasn't risking Sonny find out without me telling her first.

"Why Chad, she has a right to know."

"Penelope you've done enough. Tawni hates me" I threw his hands up in the air with annoyance.

"It's not my fault that you lied, oh wait you just made her forget her whole life. You manipulated her mind so that you two could stay friends, because you're weak." She spat the words out with so much hate. My sister and I haven't talked in years due to my personal view of humans, but right now I could careless about that I was simply pissed.

"That still doesn't give you the right! I took those memories away so she wouldn't hurt any more, and now look where she is."

"Oh please Chad more than half her pain is from her learning that her best friend made her forget everything" Penelope said, she wasn't holding back any anger either.

"Stop for a freaking damn minute!" Sonny yelled beginning to get pissed herself. "I have had no idea what's been going on since this...since this bitch showed up, and I need answers now. For one why is Chad still breathing?" I was about to speak up, but Penelope stepped in before me, and walked up to Sonny.

"You want answers fine" she started again sounding angry.

"Pen stop" I warned and took a step closer, thinking she would back down again like earlier.

"We're originals, as in the first vampires ever. There, done," she said turning to face me.

"Damn it Pen!" I thought she would have backed off for once. Then I saw the look of confusion in Sonny's eyes, but worse I saw the hurt. "Sonny" I was begging again.

"Chad..." she was about to cry "I can't" and she sped out of the room. I was about to go after her when Pen spoke again.

"What, are you going to ease her memories to?"

"Pen" I said turning to face her "don't start with me. I think you've hurt me enough today, don't you agree?" The anger came through my voice. Penelope went and sat in the chair I had been in for days.

"Oh brother this isn't half as bad as what father is going to do to you and" she looked up to the direction Sonny had ran "her."

"What do you mean her? I took care of that when I went to California, that's why I left her." I felt like my body could break in a million pieces, just shatter and never be out back together. My life was falling apart right in front of me and there was nothing I could do to change it.

"Chad don't you get it. Father has had vampires, and humans all placed in your life so he could check up on you." Pen laughed a little and I just stood there shocked. "You really don't get it. He's done this time Chad. He wants you dead, and I came here to save you." I looked at her

"Since when do you do anything to help me without getting something in return." I knew there was something she wasn't telling me, like always.

"Can't I do things for my brother" she came up and put her hand on my shoulder, then broke out laughing. "I'm sorry" she took a moment to breath "I can't even say that with a straight face." She got real serious suddenly "I'm here to take care of the problem. Boys!" She yelled and several faces I had seen in my life once before appeared.

"So you're going to kill me? After everything you're just going to kill me because daddy says so?" I said 'daddy' with a bitter tone. I hated my father always have and always will.

"After everything?" She questioned, "You mean like how you killed Jonathan?"

"Damn it Pen! I told you I never killed him Trevor did. And deep down you know it's true." I looked at her hoping that she would stop thinking that I killed him.

"Don't lie" she spat. Then she walked up to me and whispered in my ear. "I'll give you a little time to help save your girl, but I doubt she'll listen to you."

She was giving me a chance to get away "Thank you."

"Don't thank me, because father will be after you again, and soon." Then she walked over to the other vampires, and I sped of to find Sonny, fast.

Sonny's Pov: I just ran. I didn't know where I was going, but I had to get away, far away. I could feel the tears on my face. I didn't know what to think any more. I felt like every time I would let Chad in I would learn something else that he was hiding from me. I stopped running for a moment and looked around and noticed I was in a park. Walking over to a bench, I sat down and took a moment to calm down and think things through. I looked up at the stars, I pulled my knees into my chest and cried some more. That's when I heard someone come up from behind me. I stood up quickly and turned and faced Chad.

"What do you want Chad?" I sat back down in the chair.

"I just want to talk to you" he paused and sat down, "about everything."

"There's nothing to talk about Chad. You lied to me again" I wiped my tears and looked away.

"I didn't lie to you, I just didn't tell you everything."

"Don't try to phase it differently. Just leave me alone." I folded my arms and crossed my leags in anoyance.

"Please, can you just give me a chance to explain?" I looked over and saw the plea through his eyes.

"Why should I let you explain, how do I know you're not going to cover it up with another lie?"

"I won't, I promise" he held my hands and looked straight into my eyes.

"Fine" I gave in and removed my hands from his grasp. "Why don't you start by explaining what being an 'Original' means." If he his going to tell me everything it should at least be what I want to hear. He rubed the back of his neck before he began.

"Well it means what you think t meas. My family and I were the very first vampires ever created. Our family was cursed by a witch thousands of years ago. She meant it to be a punishment, but my father took it as a gift, and in turned killed her. He called it his way of saying thank you." He pasued and then went on, "Basically we're no different than any other vampires, except our powers are stronger. We can compell humans and vampires, which is what Penelope did to Tawni. Also the common wooden stakes don't kill us, they just hurt really bad." He chuclked at that for a moment.

"What does kill you?" I questioned.

"Maybe I shouldn't tell you that yet." I gave him a look and he knew what it meant, so he continued. "It comes from a special tree, that was burned down many years ago, and there are only a few stakes actually around, and my father has most of them." I just sat there thinking for a moment, trying to let everything he just said to me in. "Sonny?" He questioned looking concerned.

"Chad just give me some time. It's a lot to take in all at once. I mean I just learned that you are a completely different person than I thought you were."

"That's just it Sonny we don't really have time." I saw the panic in his eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"Sonny, Pen was told to take you and I back to my father, and she only gave me a small amount of time to get away." He turned and looked into my eyes again.

"Chad you expect me to just get up and leave with you, when I barly know what's going on." I was trying not to cry again.

"Sonny I know it's a lot to ask, but I'm telling you that if we don't run they are going to kill us." He reached out for my hands, "I wouldn't be asking if it wasn't important."

I pulled away, "Chad I'm gonna need more than that, I'm sorry." That's when I heard a noise off in the distance, it sounded like a group of people coming closer to where we sat.

"Sonny please" I saw hurt and panic in his eyes.

"Chad I..." my words trailed off, I didn't know what to say to him. The foots steps were getting closer, and Chad knew it too.

"Sonny if you're not going to go with me then I need you to drink this." He handed me a tiny glass bottle that was filled with some kind of liquid.

"What is it?"

"Drink it first, trust me you'll know." He pushed me to open it. I took it up to my lips and instantly knew what it was.

"This is vervain, you want me to drink something that can poison me?" I stood up angry considering what he had just asked me a minute ago.

"Sonny" he stood up to, "that's not what's it's for. By drinking this it will keep you from being compelled by any of my family for at least a couple of days. It will protect you that's all. Trust me." I saw the hurt and panic in his eyes and took a deep breath and placed it to my lips again. I drank it down, chocking and gasping for breath all the while. It burned my throut the whole time.

"There happy?" I said handing the bottle back and sat down.

"I need you to do something else."

He sat next to me, "What now?" I couldn't believe that he was asking more from me.

"Sonny if any one, I mean anyone asks you when you became a vampire you need to say a year ago. I need my family to believe that you were turned before we met. Also you wanted to kill me because you thought I was cheating, and when I went away you got angry thinking I was leaving you."

"Chad why?" I didn't know why he wanted me to say all of this.

"Sonny it's for your protection, please promise me." It was at that moment that Penelope and a group of guys came up to the bench. Chad and I stood to face them.

He pulled me close and whispered, "Promise me." I looked at him in the corner of my eye and then back to Penelope.

"Grab her," she said viously.

"Pen wait, please" he said standing in front of me.

"Chad I gave you time, and it's up. I told you to leave and you didn't. Sorry." She was bitter, and Chad was getting ready to fight. I could tell because his body was tensing up.

That's when I stepped forward, "I'll go" I paused, "willingly."

Hate? Love? Bored? Review and tell me what you think. I love honesty.
