Okay, I know this is really short, and I know I missed last weekend, but I will not be posting another chapter tonight. SORRAH!! (long story)

VERY INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE THAT EVERYONE (and I mean everyone) MUST READ:
remember aunt mary? Does anyone remember her full name? MARY ANNE. Now look back to chapter four. line 8 said by the person who moved into Mary Anne's house said, " 'Anne,' the lady said to who ever else was there. 'Could you see what's wrong with Angela,'". Now, remember the end of VK4 (this is one of the advantages of reading the entire series, even though I do say you can read just one and do fine [the only problem is you'll be missing little clues to the future])? Angela is the name of the baby that was brought to Mary Anne when Hope left! Understand now?

ANOTHER VERY IMPORTANT AUTHORS NOTE:
Everyone has seemed to forgotten a very crucial piece of information regarding the series. Everyone thinks Elizabeth and Magnus are humans. if they were humans, why would the series be called VAMPIRE kisses? Why would hope not be able to see Spencer? Why would hope have to live with her fake aunt Mary until she "turned of age" at 16? Knowing this, how could a stupid, simple car crash kill Vampires? Do you forget what happened to Elizabeth? Do you forget how much protection Elizabeth and Magnus are under 24/7? Just a thought...

One Day Later

Hope was resting in bed, having just finished a giant bowl of soup (courtesy of room service). Spencer had just taken the empty bowl away, trying to make Hope as comfortable as possible.

Ryan, Brendon and Jon were out getting some fever meds for Hope, and so it was just Hope and a Spencer.

When he got back, Hope scooted over in the bed to make room for Spencer. Carefully, he got in next to her and wrapped his arm around her tiny frame. Almost immediately, Hope snuggled up next to Spence, and they sat like that for a few moments.

"Hope…" Spencer began, breaking the comfortable silence. "I have something I need to tell you." Hope sat up, and looked at Spencer, worried by his tone. What could this mean, she thought to herself. "Well, when you were asleep the past nights, we all talked about what would be good to do, what would be a good idea. We thought we wouldn't be able to do anything, but Brendon looked through his phone and found…" He hesitated, not knowing how to say it. "Well, let me show you."

He got up to the table that had the pad of paper on it and grabbed the top sheet. Would could this mean? Hope thought, afraid of the answer, terrified of what the note Spencer had kept a secret from her said.

With shaky hands, he gave her a piece of paper. Carefully, as if it were a bomb, Hope took it, not knowing what to think, or what to do.

She looked at the number, confused at first, but then realization dawned on her. She read it over several times, memorizing it in case it was just a dream.

Still disbelieving the truth of it all, Hope pinched herself. "Ow," she muttered, rubbing the spot, before looking again at the number.

"Spencer," she said, barely audible. "What does this mean?"

"It's…" he began. "It might be the number to your parents. Brendon found it in his phone. We just don't know if it still works or not."

He grabbed the hotel phone and handed it to Hope. Breathing deeply, on the point of hyperventilating, Hope dialed the numbers into the phone.

After three rings a voice picked up.

"Hello?"

In a shallow, disbelieving voice, Hope said, "Mom?"

So? I know it's short, but the LAST CHAPTER will *hopefully* be up net saturday (I'm not failing miserably, just terribly XD). If I don't get a chance to though, it's because my Aunt's wedding is on saturday, so needless to say, I shall be running around all day!

Most likely though, I shall be updating this on thursday or friday (just because I love you guys!)

Hope you've enjoyed the series so far and can't wait for some reviews!
