Chapter 10

As she pushed opened the door of the cabin and moved inside, Stacey couldn't help but feel like she was interrupting something as she saw Robbie and Amanda talking quietly on the sofa.

"Hey Stace," Amanda smiled and Stacey was sure she was blushing a little as she got up and ran a hand through her hair. Stacey smiled in response to her friend before watching as Amanda headed for the stairs to finish unpacking her stuff in the spare room.

Sighing, Stacey moved forward and slumped down on the sofa beside her cousin. She guessed they had been taking about her, hence the reason they both stopped when she walked into the cabin. She shook her head at the thought and glanced back at Robbie again as Tilly hopped up onto her lap.

"Robbie, do you believe in the...soulmate principle?" She asked quietly as she thought back to her meeting with Jack earlier. She knew the answer she wanted. She wanted him to tell her it was all a myth and that she wasn't destined to be with the cocky arrogant vampire that was Jack Carter.

Robbie shrugged as he leaned his head back into the sofa, "I don't know, I mean Iv hear all the stories, but it's not happened to me," He said as he thought about it before glancing back at Stacey, "Why? Has something happened?"

"No," Stacey said, almost too quickly as she shook her head, "Nothing, I was just...wondering." She mentally cursed herself for being such a bad liar, but Robbie didn't seem to notice her strange behaviour, "Well it's never happened to anyone I know," she said as she shrugged.

"Just because something hasn't happened to you, it doesn't mean you shouldn't believe in it," Robbie muttered as he watched her, "But if there is a soulmate out there for everyone, think about how frikken hard it's going to be to find them."

Robbie was right. Out of all the people in the world, it was unlikely you would find the person that your destined to be with. So why the hell did she have to find hers? And why oh why did it have to be Jack?

Shaking her head, Stacey looked down into her lap. She suddenly felt exhausted, like a few hours with Jack had taken away all her energy. No, it didn't have to be like this. If she didn't want to see him again, then she didn't have to.

"Night Rob," Stacey said quietly with a small smile as she ruffled his hair before pulling the cat into her arms and standing up, moving up to her bedroom.

As he walked back along the side of the road, Jack kept his gaze on the floor. He had a small frown on his face as he shoved his hands in the pockets of his jeans, thinking to himself. Jack hadn't spoken to Connor in a while, and he knew that the Skylark would want to know his progress. But what was he to tell him? That he had just found out the girl who's heart he is supposed to be breaking is his soulmate? The girl he's going to bring to her death, is the girl he's destined to be with forever.

Sighing, Jack shook his head. He should be happy. After making a right mess of things with Stacey and her cousin Robbie, this was his chance to gain her trust. This bond she had with him, hopefully it would make her fall quicker, so he could break her heart and get it over and done with. He was longing to be around her, he wanted her with him. Surely she must be feeling the same. Bloody soulmate principle, he thought as he shook his head, but there was nothing he could do.

A couple of days later.

"I told you Carter! Stacey doesn't want to see you," Robbie growled as he stood at the door, his dark eyes on Jack as the younger vampire ran a hand through his hair, groaning.

"I have to speak to her, she's been avoiding me, where is she?" Jack asked, knowing it was going to take more than that to get rid of him.
"Maybe there's a reason for that, she's realised your not worth her time. And if I find out you did anything to her, I swear, I'll hunt you down and kill you," Robbie glared, "now get the hell out of here!"

"Look I have to see her!" Jack insisted as he pushed past Robbie, moving into the cabin and jogging up the stairs.
"Stacey?" He called before seeing her through the slightly ajar door to her bedroom.

"Please, can we just talk about it?" Jack asked as he moved into her room, stopping in front of her.
"Talk about what Jack?" She asked simply. Jacks eyes widened slightly, the shock soon replaced with anger.
"You know what," He replied, reaching for her wrist and looking back into her crimson coloured eyes. His grip loosened slightly as he felt the electric current again, the feeling was...amazing.

"Jack don't," Stacey said in almost a whisper as she looked away from him, her eyes closed and her head low. Jack stood still as he watched her, before shaking his head and releasing her wrist. He breathed in deeply as he watched her, watched her refuse to meet his gaze. After a moment he turned away, seeing an angry looking Robbie at the door. But Jack didn't care. Robbie was the last of his worries.

"I think you should-"
"Don't worry, I'm going," Jack snapped as he glared at Stacey's cousin, moving past him again and down the stairs. He left the cabin without looking back and headed back towards the town.

He felt angry. There was rage inside him that he couldn't understand. Rage and...Rejection. He had never been rejected before and he definitely didn't like it. Shaking his head, Jack moved into and alley and leaned back against the wall. It was midday and so it was bright even in the narrow alley way. As he looked up, Jack closed his eyes and took deep breaths. He needed a clear head if he was going to work out his next move
