Chapter 11

***3rd. pov.***

Ivy was just just grabbing her backpack making sure she had everything she needed for school. She walked over to her nightstand to take her phone off of her charger when something caught her eyes. There was a note laying there. She picked it up and read the cursive hand-writing.

"You opened my eyes. I'm none without you. Love G." Ivy read to herself as a smiled formed on her lips. Feeling the fluttering sensation of butterflies in her stomach. She grabbed her backpack and walked out note still in hand. She went downstairs and sat with Kathryn and Tony at the dining room table.

"What do you got there?" Kathryn asked motioning to the note.

"I found it on my nightstand this morning." Ivy said, "It says 'You opened my eyes. I'm none without you. Love G." Ivy said.

"That's sweet." Kathryn said.

She nodded. Her Mom set breakfast on the table. Ivy hid the note into her pocket before she started to eat.


**School**Kathryn's pov.**

I told my friends before school started that I was gonna get the book of Crests from the school Library. And they agreed then we went our separate ways. I saw Jeremiah at his locker then I put on an evil grin. I walked over to him with my books. He saw me coming and immediately paled.

"Had good a night sleep girly?" I asked in my evil voice.

"Y-y-yes your majesty." Jeremiah replied while stuttering.

"Good." I said while shoving my books into his arms.

I walked away with a smile of victory. While Jeremiah followed behind nervously to math class.

When class was over, I went straight to the school Library and went straight to the C section.

"Ahhh! Here it is Book of Crests." I said grabbing the book off of the shelf and checked out the book.

After school and dismissing Jeremiah from his royal duties, I met up with Ivy and Tony outside of school waiting for Dottie to pick us up. I showed them the agreed to read it when we get home.


***Thompson's House****

I just finished my homework. I received a text from Mom saying she will be working over late. I walked downstairs with the book to the dining room table where Dottie was serving tea and Bob was talking golf business. Tony and Ivy sat with me and we started looking through the book.

"Afternoon tea, how very civilized, how very..." Dottie said before pouring tea into her cup.

"Dad, this crest has a stag on it." Tony said.

"A lot of Scottish crest's have stags." Bob said.

"They do?" I asked.

"Yeah,means they descended from hunters." Bob replied.

"So,Guys why are you three interested in crest's all of a sudden?" Dottie asked.

Ivy, Tony and I looked and each other.

"Its a new hobby." Tony said.

"Tony, what are you really up to?" Dottie repeated.

"Kathryn and I were assigned partners in history on Scottish crest's and how they came to be, so Tony volunteered to help us find a crest and so we can study the history behind it." Ivy said.

Dottie nodded understanding before sipping her tea.

"Lord McAshton has stags on his ?' said Bob handing us his business paper with the McAshton crest on it.

We noticed the crest from the vision.

"That's the crest." Ivy mumbled to herself.

"We found it." I also mumbled to myself.

"Can we have this?" Tony asked.

"Sure go on ahead." Bob said.

"And Dad, can we go to work with you tomorrow?" Tony asked.

"Uh, it Saturday, so ?" Bob said.

"To check out your project." said Tony.

"Great!" Bob said with a smile, "Kathryn will your Mom let you go?"

I nodded.

"Will Lord McAshton be their?" Ivy asked in her sassy tone.

"He lives their Ivy." Bob replied with a chuckle.

"Don't let that stop you." Dottie said.

We excused ourselves and went upstairs to and sat in a circle on Tony's bed.

"Ok. We got the information about the crest. Now what's the plan?" Tony asked.

"We wait till Rudolph comes." I said.

"But unless trouble get's in their way, We will go their and help." Ivy added.


***3rd. pov. Crypt***

The family we're all asleep upside down. And three of siblings we're all dreaming about their eternal mates.

Gregory was dreaming about how he was going to tell Ivy he loves her. He was nervous and scared at the same time.

Anna dreamed about Tony confessing his love to her in a poem.

Rudolph slightly shifted his head just a bit as he dreamed about him and Kathryn having a future together.

***Kathryn pov.***

Night time finally came around, and I was trying to sleep but I couldn't. I keep getting a bad feeling something bad is going to happen to Rudolph and his family. So I decided to get Tony and Ivy so we can see if they need help. I made sure Mom was asleep, before I got dressed into a long sleeve shirt, jeans and my converse and my red knee length rain coat since it was sprinkling outside.

Kathryns /cgi/set?id=236974182

I walked over to there house and carefully threw a rock at Tony's window a couple of times. I saw him peek his head out the window.

"What?" Tony said in a grumpy tone.

"Come on, we need to go see if our friends needs help." I said.

He nodded before doing as I told him. I waited a few minutes before I heard the door open I shifted my head and saw them coming.

Ivy came out wearing her Nightmare Before Christmas shirt, her black jeans, with her black leather jacket, and her hair was in a messy bun wearing combat boots. Tony came in dressed as well.

Ivy's outfit: /cgi/set?id=236593048

"Come on, lets rock and roll." Ivy said.


*** The Crypt 3rd. pov.***

Gregory woke up sniffing the air and jumped from the ceiling and left the room where everyone else was asleep. He saw the graveyard keeper nervously walking around the passageway holding a flashlight while Gregory stalked the mans every move, and he jumped at the man making him scream in fright waking Rudolph in the process.


**Ivy's pov.**

We just entered the crypt. We stopped in place when we saw Rudolph running out of the room and down the corridor towards Gregory who was latched onto the graveyard keeper. His fangs was sunked into his neck.

"Let go Gregory! Let go! It's a trap!" Rudolph exclaimed.

I ran over with Kathryn as we helped pull Gregory off.

"Damn it Greg! Let go!" I snapped.

Gregory let go of the man and fell to the floor.

Here I was sitting down with Tony, Kathryn and Rudolph as we watched Gregory and Frederick bickering.

"Did you bite him?" questioned Frederick.

"Just a taste." said Gregory.

"Was it worth betraying your family?!" snapped Frederick.

"Well you're the traitor. For ever denying the truth of us, we are dark gods. You have turned us into cowards. Sulking in our holes like worms!" shouted Gregory.

"What would you have us do?" asked Frederick.

"Fight back! Make these mortal's blood run cold. Except for them!" said Gregory pointing at me and my siblings.

"And if you could do it 're to young, ruthless, and willing to risk a stake through the heart to prove it!" said Frederick.

"Better a stake then this prison!" snapped Gregory.

My heart ached at the last comment he said. And I was about to confront him until I heard

"Let their be light!"

"Rookery!" I thought angrily as the room lit up with blinding light we ran in to see the family screaming in pain while Frederick shielded them.

"What do we do?" Tony panicked.

Kathryn ran over with her coat, and held it up and blocked the light from Frederick and the fanily.

"Ivy, Tony hurry!" Kathryn exclaimed.

I picked up a hard rock and threw it at the light breaking it. The room went dark.

"Goal!" Tony cheered.

Frederick out of energy fell backwards into his wife's arms. Kathryn ran to hug Rudolph and made sure he was ok.

"We found out about the coat of arms." Tony said. The family all looked at him.

"It's Lord McAshton's, their father's boss." Kathryn said. The family shifted their heads to her.

"The missing stone must be at his house sir." I said then the family shifted their heads to me.

Their was period of silence.

"Did you hear us sir?" I asked.

"You three barely saved my life." Frederick said weakly.

"He's very, very weak." Freda said.

Kathryn, Tony and I gave each other knowing looks.

"We know just what you need." Tony said.

I looked at Gregory giving him a glare before I walked away with tears prickling my eyes trying to keep them from falling while Gregory tried apologising to me.


***Kathryn pov.****

Here we are at the dairy farm where Rudolph's Family can get their strength and energy back. My friends and I are waiting by the door this was trying to ignore the sucking by covering his ears while Ivy trying to block it out by listening to music.

When the family got done feeding, Freda clean Gregory off and put him in a straitjacket and muzzle which made Ivy snickered a bit.

"Now, I must find a place for you children." Frederick said taking charge once again.

"You can stay at our house." Tony said.

"We need darkness, duntess, and decay." Frederick said.

"Then you need our cellar!" Tony said.

We all started walking to the house. Ivy took the lead. Rudolph walk alongside me and we started a deep conversation.

Anna was flirtasiously talking to Tony. Along the way Ivy's phone started ringing confusing the family except Rudolph since I told him about my phone.

"Hello?" Ivy said. *her friend told her something* "That's cool, Bree can I call you back real quick? I'm in a middle of helping Mom right now." She lied. "Alright, bye."

She hung up her phone with a sigh. The family besides Rudolph kept on staring at the phone probably thinking it's going to explode or its sorcery.

As we continued to walk to the house everyone was in their own conversation.

"Kathryn? May I ask you something?" Rudolph asked.

"Of course." I replied.

"Do you believe in soul mates?" Rudolph asked.

I nodded. "I've always had believed."

He smiled and continued. "Well you see we vampire's only have one soulmate whom we call The Eternal Mates. When they see him or her they instantly in love, the world seems to come to a connection is so strong that he or she are drawn to him or her in any way you have never experienced. When they are away from him or her then he or she will be in pain until they reunite again." Rudolph explained.

"Do you have an eternal mate?" I asked trying not to sound disappointed.

"Yes I do, she's the most beautiful, talented woman I have ever met in my three hundred years." Rudolph said.

I looked down to the ground as I nodded. I felt his fingers under my chin as he lifted me to his gaze. I tried holding back my tears.

Rudolph was about to say something when Tony interrupted him.

"We're here!" Tony said to loud.

"Quite down Tony before our parents hear us!" Ivy said in a hushed tone.

Rudolph sigh as he looked down at the ground growling frustrated as we walked to the cellar.


**Cellar**

The family looked around around. Ivy instantly felt bad since the place is really junky.

"I'm so sorry if its-" Ivy started to apologize.

"Its perfect." Freda said smiling at her.

"We better head all have a good day's sleep." Ivy said.

"And don't worry we're on it." Tony said.

"On what dear?" Freda asked in a confused voice.

"On finding the amulet, 's how young people talk these days" Rudolph explained.

"Oh." Freda said understanding.

"Night dude." Tony said giving Rudolph a high five.

"Night dude." Rudolph said returning the high five before looking at me.

I stared back before turning around and making my way towards the stairs feeling his stare burning into my back. I let a tear escape knowing he was in love with someone. And me I was nothing but just a friend.

When I made it to my house, I walked up to my room and changed into my pjs, climbed into bed and tried to sleep. For some reason I couldn't, I just had alot on mind. I sigh turning on my lamp sitting up, reaching under my pillow taking out my journal, flipped it to the page where I actually finished writing my own song I've been working on.

We are young, we are gold

Trying things we didn't know

Looking at the sky, see it come alive

All our fears became our hopes

Climbed out every locked window

Rode a lion's mane and fell upon the rain

We can reach the constellations

Trust me, all our dreams are breaking out

No, we're never gonna turn to dust,

Yeah, all we really need is us

Don't be scared to close your eyes

No, we're never gonna die, we'll be the stars

Oh, no, we're never gonna step too far

Yeah, we're holding on to who we are

When it's time to close your eyes

They will see us in the sky,

We'll be the stars!

Oh oh oh

We'll be the stars!

Oh oh oh

We'll be the stars!

I heard tapping at my window. I walked up and removed the curtains to see Rudolph there. I opened the window.

"Hey." He greeted.

"Hey." I greeted back.

"You have the most beautiful voice." Rudolph complimented.

"Thanks." I said we walked over and sat on my bed. I closed my journal and placed it onto the nightstand, "So Rudolph, what brings you over? Is everything ok?"

"Everythings fine. I was wondering if you know how to whistle?" Rudolph asked.

I nodded.

"Well whenever you are in danger or if something happens just whistle." Rudolph said.

He whistles and it echoes.

I attempted many times but still didn't sound like his. So we had a little whistle competition and soon enough my whistling has gotten better.

"I want to take you somewhere." Rudolph said.

"Ok." I respond

So Rudolph stepped out to give me some privacy. Since I was in a tank top and shorts. I changed into some jeans, a light blue long sleeved shirt and my boots. I brushed my hair and decided to leave it down.

Kathryn /cgi/set?id=236104738

I switched my rain coat for a warm jacket since it is no longer sprinkling but it is cold. Scotland's always had its cold and warm days..mostly cold though.

I opened the door and told Rudolph I was ready. He told me I looked beautiful. I thanked him before we walked toward the window and we flew off.

We flew for a good ten minutes when we landed near a lake. Why does this place looks so familiar? We started walking.

"Rudolph where are we?" I asked as I looked around.

"Come on its a surprise!" Rudolph said as he pulled me toward the meadow.

"Woah!" I said letting a chuckle as he dragged me to where he's taking me.

I gasp in fascination on what he shown me.

There was a willow tree surrounded by a thousand of glittering fireflies. Out in the meadow that wasn't far from the forest was we're colorful flowers and moonflowers everywhere.

"Wow, this is beautiful." I said.

"Just like you." Rudolph said before picking one of the moonflowers and placed it into my hair.

We walked over and sat next near the lake. We talked while listening to the sounds of crickets singing and the water splashing against the shore.

I looked at my necklace to see it glowing bright. "Rudolph? Why does my necklace glow?"

"Your necklace only glows when your in love with your eternal mate who puts it on you." Rudolph replied grasping my hand in his. Feeling the tingling sensation, I looked down at our hands before looking at him.

"This means-" I started.

He nodded. "Kathryn, I don't know what do with myself if something happens to you *he grabs my other hand* I swear if something did happen to you, I won't have any reason to live anymore.*he said with fear and love laced in his eyes and voice* I love you Kathryn Seraphina Cromwell, I have since we met. You have no idea how long I've been searching for you. Now that I found you, I'm now a happy man now that his other half his by his side. You are the reason why I'm still living, you are the ball of sunshine that guided me through the darkness to you." Rudolph said.

I felt tears sprung in my eyes as he finished confessing his feelings to me. "I love you to Rudolph."

Rudolph cupped my cheek and leaned and kissed me with love and passion. I kissed back as our lips moved in sync. When we parted foreheads touching as we look each other in the eyes. He placed one of my hand in his and placed my other one onto his shoulder and he placed his hand onto my waist, I rested my head onto his shoulder as we started to sway back and forth. He spun me around before dipping me before lifting me up spinning me around placing me back onto my feet as our dance turn into a waltz, he spun me more and dipped me once again.

When we got home. I went to my bathroom and got changed back into my pjs. When I came out I saw Rudolph looking at the drawing of himself. I smiled at him. He turned his head towards me smiling back.

"Hey love, Did you draw this?" Rudolph asked.

I nodded. "Yes I did, ever since our dream realm, which I couldn't get outta my head, you were the only one I ever thought of." I said.

He smiled before kissing my head. He decided to sleep with me, so we cuddled up on my bed. My head was laying on his chest, his arms were wrapped around me. We talked for awhile.

"Rudolph?" I asked.

"Hmm?" Rudolph answered.

"When you first stayed here that night, and I was asleep. I heard somebody come into my room and whispered into my ear which sounded a whole lot like you. And I was wondering if it was you that night." I said while showing him the necklace that was around my neck.

He took a deep breath before answering.

"Aye, I did come into your bedroom that night but..I was in pain, *feeling his chest as he continued to speak* When you and your sister went to bed along with Tony and I. I couldn't stop thinking about you and how amazing you are when we met. All of a sudden I felt an agonizing pain in my chest right where my heart is. I almost screamed in pain if I hadn't covered my mouth. I knew you could take it away. So I came all the way to your room, where I was mesmerized by your beauty." Rudolph sigh remembering that night.

"Are you alright now?" I asked concerned.

"Yes my angelus. I'm alright as long as I'm with you." Rudolph replied.

I smiled closing eyes slowly breathing in his fragrance. He smelled of the earth, the pines of the forest and a hint of cinnamon.

"What did you whisper in my ear?" I asked curiously keeping my eyes closed.

"I said that I will always be yours my love, for all of eternity, just like you will always be mine for all of eternity." Rudolph said.

I could feel his finger caress my cheek feeling the sensation. I opened my eyes looking up at him.

"You will always be mine for all of eternity." I said.


**Ivy's pov.**

I was just sleeping peacefully as the whole house was silent except for the sound of creaking footsteps. I ignored it thinking it was Dad going downstairs to get a snack or something. I heard my bedroom door open and close as it came towards my bed before stopping. I slowly opened one of my eyes to see Gregory standing there not wearing his muzzle or straitjacket.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him, "And how did you get out?"

"Easy." Gregory said as he sat on the bed.

"So what do you want?" I asked.

"Ivy, I'm really sorry for whatever I said, please don't be mad." Gregory said.

I sigh. "I'm not mad Greg. I may not be happy at the moment. But I'm not mad. I just don't want to hear you say those hurtful words again." I said.

He sigh."I just lost control of myself and I couldn't stop. Dealing with self-control is difficult when your a vampire." Gregory said, "I doubt my family and I will be humans again. We'll just forever remain this way, watching life go by."

"Hey don't talk like that. You don't know what tomorrow is going to bring until you get there. I know your scared, but trust me your not the only just gotta have hope." I said.

He nodded. "So do you forgive me?" Gregory asked me

"Hmm, ask me that again tomorrow." I smirked before shutting my eyes.

"Wait..what?" Gregory questioned.

"I said ask me again tomorrow when I'm not so tired." I said.

"But-" Gregory started.

"Shhh..I'm trying to sleep." I shushed him.

I felt the weight of the bed go down, both of my eyes snapped open as I turned my head to see Gregory making himself comfortable right beside me.

"Gregory," what the heck are you doing?" I asked raising an eyebrow.

He smirked. "What do you think? I'm sitting." He replied in a teasing voice.

I rolled my eyes knowing that he will not leave. I closed my eyes once again. Few seconds later his voice rang out.

"What is that strange object?" Gregory asked.

I huffed opening up my eyes to see Gregory glancing over at the stereo.

"It's a stereo." I replied.

"What now?" Gregory questioned.

"You can listen to music on it." I said before picking up the remote and turning it on. 'Leave out All the Rest' by Linkin Park came on.

His eyes were all lit up and his mouth opened just a bit. I couldn't help but let out a small chuckle at his reaction.

"So, I'm guessing this your first time seeing modern technology?" I asked.

He nodded. "Yeah, my family and I have been in hiding for a long time so we never actually *shrugs his shoulders* get to do anything in fear of being hunted down." Gregory said.

"It must have been really hard for you guys back then. Hiding and all that." I said.

He nodded. "It was. No matter where we traveled or even hide. They were always determined to find and kill us." Gregory replied.

I looked down my heart broke his family. Been on the run, hiding for so long. Never stepped foot a out to see the daylight or anything. Kathryn, my brother and I are going to make sure we find the stone on time.

A/N: I know alot of you know We'll Be the Stars by Sabrina Carpenter but just pretend she wrote it. And also Kathryn's House is Elena Gilbert's house along with her bedroom all the credit goes to Vampire Diaries.
