Last chapter

I headed up the stairs that led to the third story. I was lost in thought by the time I reach my bedroom door. I opened the door and saw Eric asleep on my bed. Smiling I went to join him. I would go hunt later. I was still smiling as I fell asleep.

Chapter 11

Texas

Selena's POV

I woke up and stretched languidly. I smiled and remembered the events of earlier in the day. I hopped out of bed and made my way downstairs. I decided that it was a good time to search for Victor and Thomas.

I heard talking coming from the garden in the backyard.

"You know what?" I heard Victor ask.

"No what?" Thomas replied, giggling.

"I think there may be a reason why Selena introduced us." he said.

"There is definitely a reason." Thomas said.

I walked further out and saw Victor and Thomas curled up beside the pool in one of the oversized pool chairs.

"Good Afternoon, boys." I said smiling.

"Hello, Selena." Victor said looking up.

"How are you this morning, Tommy?" I asked.

"Tommy?" he questioned.

"It was a nickname we used for my brother when we were kids." I said frowning at the memory that came to mind.

Flashback

All of us were gathered around the kitchen table. Ma was cooking dinner while Pa helped Uncle John in the stable. It was warm and Tommy and I went out in the yard to watch the horses graze. Tommy was three years older than me and we got along like you wouldn't believe. We would go out riding at dusk if Pa would let us.

"Hey, Tommy!" I shouted across the yard.

"Hey Lee!" he shouted back running over to where I was playing.

Tommy had just turned seventeen and was all muscle from working with Uncle John and Pa.

"Lee, what are you doing?" Tommy asked as he finally reached me.

"I'm deciding weather to ask Pa if we can go riding." I said.

"I'll go ask. You stay here." he said.

I loved Tommy and Brandon, one of his friends. We had all grown up together.

I sat there for a little while in thought. Tommy came back with Brandon and smiled.

"Pa said that we could go. But we have to be back when he rings the big bell for dinner." he said.

"Alright, let's go get Midnight and Dawn. Brandon do you want to come?" I asked.

"Yes. Can I ride Storm?" he asked.

"Yes. Let's go!" Tommy said running towards the barn.

It took a while but we finally got out. It was great, until we heard the hootin' and hollerin' of the neighboring Indians. I got scared. Tommy was yellin' at me and Brandon to get back on our horses and run. I was on Dawn when I heard the arrows whiz through the air. I heard Tommy scream and Brandon was yellin' at me to run. I looked over my shoulder and saw something that would haunt me to my dying day. Tommy was dead, laying on the ground next to Brandon. I took off on Dawn as fast as I could. I got home and screamed for Pa but no one answered. I walked into the house and they were all gone. Not a breath of life left in any of them.

"Selena?" Tommy asked snapping me out of my reverie.

"What?" I asked looking up.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yea I'm fine." I said with a smile.

Thomas' POV

I was finally here. I knew it the minute I saw the house. This was where I was supposed to end up. I ran towards the front door and knocked. A younger man opened the door. He looked to be about seventeen or eighteen. He spoke but my answers weren't thought about. He led me into the foyer and walked up the stairs. A few minutes a beautiful woman came bounding down the stairs with a smile on her face. She led me into the living room and spoke.

"I have been waiting for you for a very long time, Thomas." she said.

It was clear that she was a very sweet person and she knew of my sexual preference. I was excited to see who she wanted me to meet. All I knew is that it was her father. Victor I believe she said his name was.

I was surprised to see a very good-looking man saunter down the stairs. He was tall, lean and gorgeous.

"Hey, Lena." he said throwing himself onto the couch beside her.

"Hey, Vic." she said smiling, "This is Thomas. Thomas, this is Victor, my father."

"Hello, Victor, it's nice to meet you." I said extending my hand.

"It's nice to meet you, too." he said and grasped my hand.

I felt an electric surge skitter up my forearm. I smiled and kept my hand in place until he let go. I sat back down on the couch and relaxed. I knew that I must have looked like hell but I was too tired to shower. I risked a glance at Victor and noticed that he was looking at me too. I had also noticed that Selena had left. I got off the couch and stretched. I looked at Victor and smiled again.

"Hey, do you think I can get a shower?" I asked.

"Yea, sure. Follow me." he said.

I laughed and he turned to look at me curiously.

"What's so funny?" he asked.

"Sorry. A song popped into my head." I said.

"What song?" he asked.

"Follow Me by Uncle Kracker." I said.

At the same time we both started to sing the chorus of the song.

"Follow me Everything is alright I'll be the one to tuck you in at night And if you want to leave I can guarantee You won't find nobody else like me"

I laughed and smiled as we entered what I assumed to be his bedroom. He walked over to the closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a tee shirt. He handed me the clothes.

"The bathroom is right over there." he said pointing to the door beside the closet.

"Alright, thanks." I said.

I entered the bathroom and stripped. I was so tired that I had no clue how I made it through my shower without keeling over from exhaustion. I turned the water off and climbed out. I quickly dried and dressed. I walked out of the bathroom and collapsed on the bed.

I was woken up a while later by Victor.

"Hey, lazybones, you need to get up." he said laughing.

"No." I said curling into the blankets more.

"And why not?" he asked.

"'Cuz I'm comfy." I said turning over.

"Get up and meet me downstairs." he said.

"Fine." I groaned forcing myself out of the bed.

I got up and rummaged in the bathroom for a brush. Sometimes I hated having long hair. I found a brush and tried to tame the unruly mess. As I tamed the rats nests in my hair I studied myself in the mirror. I was about six-foot-three, with long blonde hair, and icy grey eyes. I had a habit of wearing cowboy hats. After I finally had the mess tamed, and pulled into a pony tail at the nape of my neck, I headed downstairs. I wondered around for a minute before I found him sitting on an oversized pool chair. I walked over and plopped beside him.

"So, what made you come here?" he asked.

"Well, I had this feeling that there was something that I was supposed to find. So, about fifty years ago I left Tennessee, and wandered around for a while. About six months ago I got an apartment on the other side of town, near Boiling Springs. I started to settle down, but I still think that there is something I was supposed to find." I said.

"Wow, so, do you have any clue as to what it is you're looking for." he asked.

"Yea," I said, "I think I'm searching for my mate, but I really don't know. Like I said, it was a spur of the moment feeling."

"And you think your mate is here?" he asked.

"In Spartanburg, yes." I replied.

"So, that's why you are here in Spartanburg. Why are you here at my home? You think she is here?" he asked.

"No, she isn't, but he might be. I'm gay." I said.

"You know what?" he asked.

"No what?" I asked, giggling like a fool.

"I think there is a reason that Selena introduced us." he said.

"I think so too." I said laying back down.

"Good afternoon, boys." Selena said smiling.

"Hello, Selena." Victor said looking up.

"How are you this morning, Tommy?" she asked.

"Tommy?" I questioned.

"It was a nickname we used for my brother when we were kids." she said.

"Oh, ok." I said.

"Selena?" Victor asked.

She didn't answer.

"Lee?"

"Selena?" I asked.

"What?"

"Are you alright?" I asked.

"Yea, I'm fine." she said,

"Ok." I said turning back around.

"Hey, do you guys want to come with Eric, Edward, Bella and me tomorrow?" she asked.

"Where are you guys going?" I asked.

"To the farm in Texas." Victor said.

"Well, yea sure, I'd love to come. Are there horses?" I asked.

"Yea. We own a lot of property in Texas." she said smiling.

I was excited. I hadn't been around horses in fifty years. This was going to be one sweet week.

The Next Day

--

Selena's POV

It was early and as we finished packing Tommy and Bella were bouncing up and down in their spots. I swear it had to of been worse than Alice.

I had yet to see if Talon and Ronan were going to come.

"Claw, Ro, get your asses down stairs and please no PDA!" I yelled up the stairs jokingly.

"Coming, Lee" Talon yelled back.

I heard them both laugh just as they appeared at the top of the stairs.

"Hey, lovebirds." I said smiling at the way Talon's face darkened.

"Hey, Lee." Ronan said.

"I need to ask you something." I said.

"Ok, Shoot." Talon said.

"Do you guys want to come to the farm?"

"No, I think we are going to stay here and bask by the pool." Talon said.

"Ok, suit yourselves."

I loaded everything into the car in five minutes. It took a little longer to hitch the trailer up. As soon as I had the trailer hitched to the truck, I headed back to the house.

"Come on guys!" I yelled into the house.

"Coming!" Eric and Edward yelled.

"Yea well you better hurry your slow asses up or I'm leaving with out you!" I said and got back into the truck.

It took another fifteen minutes for everyone else to exit the house. I sat in the truck listening to music when I heard a thwack on the passenger door, and Edwards face was mashed against the window. I tried to stifle my laughter for as long as I could, but I failed miserably.

"What is so funny, Donovan?" he growled out.

"You!" I gasped out.

"Why am I the butt of your joke?"

"Because you are an ass sometimes. The roll is only fitting." I replied smugly.

"Oh, ha-ha."

"I know. I am hilarious!"

"You wish."

"I always wondered what Bella saw in you, Cullen." I said smirking.

"Probably more than Eric sees in you!" he said venomously.

"Oh getting nasty are we now?"

"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!" I heard Bella yell across the yard.

"Yes, dear?"

"Quit antagonizing Selena!"

"Yes, dear." he said submissively.

I came very close to bursting out in laughter as he bow to Bella's command.

"I had no clue you were so submissive, Edward!" Victor yelled across the yard from his car.

"Shut Up!" he bellowed.

"Edward, If you don't calm down, I will find a way back to the Feudal Japan and ask Kaede for beads of subjugation." Bella snarled.

"You mean like in Inuyasha?" Eric asked his mother.

"Yes."

"Shweet!"

I looked from Bella to Edward to Eric and realized just how much Eric looked like Edward, with the exception of the bleached hair.

"Ok, people, let's lock and load!" Thomas shouted from Victor's car.

"Alright." I said getting into Ronan's massive truck.

I peeped my horn at Eric and told him that he was riding with me. He opened the passenger door and smiled.

"You ready?" I asked.

"Fo sho!" he said.

Laughing I beeped three times at Victor and he waved me around with the trailer. I pulled out of the driveway and headed towards the interstate. In a little over forty-five minutes we were on out way to Austin, Texas. I looked over at Eric and smiled, flipping the radio on and turned it up to a manageable level. I knew that this was going to be one hell of a trip.
