A/N: I am SO sorry for the months of endless waiting and then the extra weeks, since I came back, of waiting for my promised post. I don't blame you one bit if you hate me right now. I'm not going to promise another update on this story soon because this is the farthest that I've come with this story. Please review and if you do please leave some ideas for this story.
Last time: Forest is a vampire. He's apart of this, I guess, under ground society called Night World where there are also werewolves, witches, and shape-shifters. If you tell a human, me, about it or fall in love with a human you're killed. And Forest has broken both rules. Oh God.
Chapter 11 (FPOV)
"Forest, I think we should stop seeing each other." Lyla said after a few minutes. I thought Lyla was going to freak when she found out I was a vampire, but instead she completely ignores it.
"Why?" I asked confused letting go of her hands.
"You just said it, if the Night World found out about us, it would kill you." She said quietly.
"They-"
"Who/what-ever. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if, I knew, I was the reason you died."
I sighed and took her hands again. "Lyla, I wouldn't be able to live without you. I love you." I said my voice thick with emotion.
"Forest, I love you too, more than words can describe. That's why we can be friends but nothing more." Lyla confessed letting our hands fall apart. She loved me back? This may be the most bittersweet moment in my entire life.
"Forest, it's time for us to put the plan into action." My dad said pulling out his cell phone. Lyla turned her head to look at him then turned back to me. The expression on her face clearly asked 'what plan'.
"When I told my parents about my feelings for you, we came up with a plan to keep us all safe. If the Night World council found out about us I wouldn't be the only one to die; you, my parents, your uncle, and your mom would also be killed. The only safe thing for us to do is to go to Circle Daybreak." I explained. Lyla followed me up to my room where I grabbed a packed suitcase and brought it downstairs.
"What's Circle Daybreak?" Lyla asked as she watched my mom come down the stairs with two suitcases. "Where are you-all going?"
"Mom and Dad are going to Thierry's mansion tonight while I stay at your house. I'll explain everything when we get there; right now, I need you to help me with some things." Lyla helped me get my parents bags and everything else in their car. An hour later Lyla and I were waving goodbye to them as they backed out of the driveway. Before we left my house I took the Redclaps crest off the door.
A few minutes later, Lyla and I were sitting on her bed watching YouTube videos on her laptop. I waited until her uncle was otherwise occupied before I closed the computer and turned to face Lyla. It was time to talk.
"Please explain." She said.
"Circle Daybreak is a group of Night World people and humans that want us to live together in peace. Many Daybreakers have been subjected to the soulmate principal, where there is one person made to be with you. Thierry is the leader of Circle Daybreak; he is also the first ever made vampire." I paused letting Lyla take in all the information.
"What is the plan you and your parents came up with?" She asked.
"Because you're famous, we can't just take you to Circle Daybreak; instead, you have to stay in the public eye for a few months then we fake your death. Your uncle's and you mom's deaths will also be faked, most likely, in a car accident. When everyone thinks you-all are dead I move you to Circle Daybreak. I'm staying to help pull off your deaths and in case anything goes wrong take you straight to Thierry's."
"So for the next few months I act normal by writing new songs, going to school, and hanging out with friends? What do I say you are if you're going to be around more than usual?"
"You have to act as if nothing has happened. I'm going to pose as your best friend like I've always been, but I'm going to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible."
"What does this mean for us?" She asked.
"Well people can't really tell the difference between us as boyfriend/girlfriend or just friends because we act the same way either way."
"Aside from us making out in private." She added.
I chuckled. "Yeah aside from that. I was hoping we could stay together."
She grinned. "Me too."
"Can you handle it?" I asked.
"I think I can handle it." Lyla said tucking her dark brown hair behind her ear. We sat in silence for a few minutes. "Well I need to practice my new songs for the end of the school year." Lyla got up and went over to her keyboard. Lyla's room is like an exact copy of her dressing room but in place of the couch is her bed and there's a keyboard and guitar in the corner surrounded by beanbag chairs.

Just as I started playing the beginning chords to one of my new songs, Uncle Shawn rushed into my room. I turned around to see a slightly panicked look on his face.
"We have a problem." He stated. I looked at Forest then back at Uncle Shawn.
A/N: Once again, I am truly SORRY. Please review and leave ideas.
