You guys can still read on Mondays, but the chapters will be out a day sooner. But either way, I will try to give you guys a chapter every week. Anyways, on with the chapter.
Nyssa was still in shocked, her aunt wanted her to move in with her, permanently. A part of her was ecstatic that her aunt want to be a part of her life. She remember growing up and wishing that she had a big family like the ones she would see on television, family members other than her mom and uncle. She loved them, but it felt like her family was incomplete, as if she was missing a few pieces of a puzzle to make a full picture.
Sure she could transfer schools and take classes at her aunt's college, and her friends would be really supportive, but the thing that held her back was Rae. She cared deeply for him, and it was hard on her that he couldn't be there with her, but she understood. He worked for Force Network, it was a high demanding job, but that was his dream, to create TV shows. She knew he would be good at it, and she didn't want him to feel like he had to choose between moving out there with her, or to stay in New York to have a chance.
Nyssa looked across the street, she recognized the name of this place, Bent Elbow. She remembered Freya telling her she worked there. The brunette hoped that her cousin was working, because she needed the company of a friend and a good drink at that moment.
As she entered the bar, she couldn't help to noticed that it seemed pretty slow, it would make since, since summer vacation was just about over and everyone is either going back to work or to school.
"Nyssa," she turned her head to see her cousin trying to wave her down. A smile appeared on her face, she felt comfortable with the bartender, in her time here, she felt that she knew this girl her entire life. Thinking of this, made her feel a little sad; she wished she could say she knew this girl her entire life. As she got closer to her, she saw Killian sitting at the bar across from her cousin. She never really met him, with the exception of the funeral, but from the way Freya talked about him, he seemed like a pretty good guy.
"Hey Nyssa, what brings you here," he took a sip of his beer.
"You know," she started to sit on the stool next to him. "Good company and a good drink."
"What can I get you?" Freya asked, while cleaning the glass cup with a white rag.
"Sex on the beach," Nyssa sat next to Kilian. Freya walked away to get started on her drink.
"So how do you like East End?"
"It's good. It's nice to know that it's only a five minute drive to the beach."
"That's good. Are you planning on staying?" he got up to throw away his bottle on the other side of the counter.
"I don't know, maybe." Killian gave an apologetic look as his phone started ringing. He walked away, to the other side of the bar to take his call. Nyssa didn't know what to do, she thought if she talk to her cousin, maybe she could have an idea of what to do.
Darkness suddenly consumed her, fear creeped through Nyssa. A pair of hands covered her eyes, she raised her hands to feel who it was. She felt someone near her ear, "Why would a beautiful girl like you, be alone in a bar?"
She knew that voice, she knew it for years. She couldn't believe it. "Aria! Aria is that really you?" She jumped out of her chair and tackled the dark hair girl. Someone, somewhere, must have heard her saying that she needed a friend right now, especially, her best friend.
"I hope it's really me!" She returned the hug. "Or I'm a really good imposter posing as your best friend." She joked with Nyssa, the taller girl let go first. One of the many things Nyssa missed back in New York was her. The two had been best friends since Nyssa and her family moved to New Orleans, and Aria was one of the few witches she knew. Nyssa saw her older cousin coming with her drink, she motioned her to come quicker.
"Freya this is Aria," she pointed to the taller girl. "She's my best friend," she said beaming. The one thing for sure is that at that moment, Aria brought a smile to Nyssa, one that she hadn't have since she came here.
Freya felt happy for her younger cousin, she needed someone to make her cousin smile. "Nice to meet you, I'm Freya." Freya shake the younger girl's hand.
"Ah the infamous Freya, Nys has talked nonstop about you."
"Good stuff I'm hoping" Freya started to move her hand.
"Of course," Aria gasped and grabbed her hand. "Oh my God, I love your ring!" she admired the diamond and onyx ring. The thing about Aria is, she loved fashion, especially accessories; that is why she worked for Farnsworth Modeling Agency.
"Thanks, my fiancé got it for me." She loved that ring almost as much as she loved the man who gave it to her. After hundreds of year, she will be with her true love.
"It's gorgeous." Aria finally let Freya's hand go. "Can I get a martini? Dirty, please." Freya finally gave her younger cousin her drink and was about to make her cousin's friend her drink.
"Freya, Sal needs you in the back, now," Mike, the new guy working at the bar, called out to Freya.
"I'll be back guys" she said, leaving the two to talk alone.
"Girl what are you doing here?" Nyssa loved her best friend, but she knew that they needed her in New York right now. She may not work for the blue bloods, but she helped Derek as much as she could.
"I came to check up on you," she said in a matter of fact tone as she started drinking her friend's drink. Nyssa didn't care.
"Any news about Rio?"
"Only that Mimi Force is the new Regis and has a man hunt on that Van Allen girl, nope, nothing really." She finally gave her friend her drink back.
"Poor girl," Nyssa started playing with what's left of her drink. "Do you think she really did it?"
"I don't know, you know the council have been wary about her."
"They're scared about anything that isn't one of them." She never met the girl, Aria had brief encounters with her at her modeling agency, but every time the committee talked about her, they seem to be worry about her. Especially since she is the main person proclaiming that the silver bloods were back. "I would think they would be worshipping her since she is the daughter of the uncorrupted."
"But she is a daughter of a human and a vampire, a Dimidium Cognatus, she's one of a kind." Aria couldn't believe that they didn't worshipped her, she was the only daughter of Gabrielle, the uncorrupted. She was the only link to her since Gabrielle been in a coma for over a decade. They shouldn't fear her at all.
"But to massacre her kind, no that sounds like something Lucifer would do." Nyssa still remembered the conversation she just had with Bliss, the girl seemed convinced that they were back. She hope she was wrong.
"You believe he's back? There rumors going around that he is back."
"I know, I heard. I don't know," she didn't know what to believe. She turned her head away from her friend, she felt ashamed. "All I do know is that if he is, we must protect our kind. As much as I know some of us would help the blue bloods, and believe me, they will ask for help, if it was the other way around, they wouldn't help us. Not a lot of them anyway. "Her mind wonder back to Bliss, not all vampires are the same, kept repeating over and over again. She don't know how much of that was true. "How is he?" Nyssa asked, trying to change the subject.
"He misses you like crazy." Aria knew that face, it was never good when Nyssa made that face. "What's wrong?" slight panic overcame the older girl.
"My aunt just asked me to stay," Nyssa started to play with her bracelet her mother gave her for her last birthday; it was the last thing Wendy gave her before she came here. It described her so well, from the golden wings to the emerald sitting between the two wings, her mother know, knew, her so well. "For good."
"That's great." Aria was happy for her best friend, as long as she remembered, it was always Nyssa, Anna, and their mom and sometimes, their uncle. Finally, she will have other family members to talk to. "Why isn't great?" Her face fell, she noticed her friend's lack of enthusiasm.
"Rae," she gulped down the rest of her drink. "I don't want to leave him, and I know he wouldn't want to move out here." The sad truth is that Aria knew that too. This wasn't the New York, it was too quiet, and definitely nowhere close a big networking company.
"Does he know?"
"No, not yet" melancholy filled her voice.
"You need to tell him, soon." Concerned filled her voice. Aria knew Nyssa had to tell him soon. Nyssa planned to tell him tonight after he got out of work.
"I know- what the hell?!" she was stunned, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
"What?" Aria turned her head, she didn't know what she was looking at, all she saw was a couple at the other side of bar laughing. The guy in the leather jacket had his arm around a redhead, and from where, she was guessing, his other arm was position, was touching her leg.
"Him!" she was outraged. How could he do this to her, that lying piece of-.
"Who him?" Aria was still confused about what Nyssa was talking about. "The guy with the redhead?"
"Yes that him." Her voiced was low, almost menacing.
"What about him? Nyssa!" She looked like a girl on a mission, as she approached the devilish man.
"Hi Killian," the brunette stood between him and the girl. "Who this?" she said almost too sweetly.
"Killian," the woman came closer into his arms. "Who is she?"
"No one important," he wrapped his arms around her. Nyssa was enraged, how could he do this to her cousin? She went up to the redhead, hands on her hips.
"Lady he's engage." Appalled and embarrassed the redhead pushed herself off of the dark hair man and got up to leave, not before throwing the rest of her drink on him.
Killian was embarrassed and upset. "What's your problem?" he asked, trying to dry off his face.
"What's my problem?" Did he really just asked that? The thought went through Nyssa's mind. "What's your problem? You were flirting with that girl when you are clearly with my cousin!"
"What she doesn't know, won't hurt her" he said so nonchalantly.
"Are you serious?!" this was not the man Freya told her about. "I hope she doesn't marry you. You're nothing but a selfish, egotistical pig, who only thinks with his-"
"What's going on? Killian what happened?" Freya practically ran to her fiancé.
"It's nothing," he said almost too calmly. "Nyssa got a little angry and threw her drink at me." . serious? Is what Nyssa thought.
"Nyssa!" her older cousin yelled at her.
"No Freya, it's my fault. Apparently I was giving her wrong signals and she thought I was in to her." WHAT! Nyssa mentally screamed.
"NYSSA ROESALIE BEAUCHAMP!" at this point, the whole bar was staring at the four of them.
"Freya you got to believe me, he is lying. Aria, back me up here." She looked back at her best friend for help.
"I told her that I love you, and I wouldn't want to hurt you," at this point, Kilian was pleading so convincing, Nyssa would have believed him if he wasn't blaming her. "When I told her that, she got upset and threw her drink and started yelling at me"
"Freya you gotta believe me, why would I want to hit on him, I have my own guy back home, me and Aria were just talking about him."
"Get out. Please get out." Her voice was cold, Freya couldn't even look at her. "We will talk about it at home. But first, apologize to him."
"Seriously?! No!" she couldn't believe her cousin would believe him. Whatever he did to her, he did it well. She grabbed her friend's hand and stormed out of the bar.
"Baby I'm so sorry." Freya apologized as she tried to help clean up the mess she thought her cousin made.
"It's no problem babe," the one thing that didn't change over his many lives were his control over Freya and his acting skills. What neither of them noticed was the slight glowing on Freya's ring finger.
Did anyone see that coming? I guess some things will never change, poor Nyssa.
