A/N- Wow, 10 reviews for the last chapter! I love you guys! So since there were so many reviews I'm decided to update today. I must say that I was just going to update tomorrow. The power of reviews…
Anyway, I think you'll all enjoy this chapter even though it's kind of short… sorry, the next one will be longer. Enjoy!
Happycookbook- Ya, my Tanya is a lot like Alice, but they also have their slight differences, although that won't be noticed for a bit longer.
Aria DeLoncray- I'm not saying anything, but this chapter will have the answer in it!
BirdieInABox16- Thank you, I'm glad you like it! They are bff's, but also getting to a sisterly point… that comes out more in the coming chapters though.
Bellawish2b- You'll understand more this chapter and then I'm sure any other questions will be answered in the next update.
Superdani- I'm not saying anything about your future mood… ;p
twilghtfan78- I have a friend who always watched what not to wear, but now I only watch it occasionally. I still need to see the episode when they had Dara Kirk on… Anyway, glad you liked it!
AnnaMollyPR- I'm glad you caught that little snip-it. Like Superdani, I'm not telling you what your mood will be like once you've finished reading this chapter.
Sesshoumaru-LiL-Wolfe- I'm glad you liked it! Just like I've told others, I'm not giving hints on the future.
Mimi- I'm glad you like it, but I'm not telling!
WWESupernatural102292- I understand completely. My internet last year was crappy and it failed for 2 weeks… not a good thing when I need to go online for notes and what not for lectures and other classes. Thanks for coming back though!
I fell asleep pretty soon after getting home and hanging all of my new clothes up. For the first time in days I finally dreamed. As usual I didn't remember the main details and every little action, but I did remember that I was finally truly happy and James was there. I'm guessing I was dreaming that James had returned to me finally. I remained in my bed, relishing the remaining feelings that the dream stirred within me. I couldn't help but smile as I watched snow fall outside my window.
I finally managed to get out of bed and change into a pair of jeans and a fitted t-shirt Tanya had bought me yesterday. Once I was changed and my hair was brushed I made my way outside to find Laurent and Tanya. Laurent was in the kitchen sitting at the center island while Tanya was no where to be found.
"Good morning Laurent." I said with a smile.
"Good morning, you seem happy."
"I'm always happy." Laurent gave me a look that said 'really?' I just stared right back at him.
"Ok, you look happier. Good dream?"
"Why yes… wait, how did you know?"
"Well, for one you don't usually like going shopping so I'm pretty sure it wasn't from the trip. Plus if the reason behind why you were happier was from the trip then you would have been happier last night."
"Ok, that makes sense."
"Plus, you were whispering James' name last night while you slept."
"I was? Wait, was I loud about it?"
"No, you weren't loud. I was walking by and I heard you mumbling something. So I went in to check on you and that's when I heard you saying James' name."
"O… ok. So what's on the agenda for today?" I asked, putting my sleep talking behind me.
"We are going back to town." Tanya announced as she walked in.
"Wait, why?" I asked, not looking forward to another car ride. I mean, my butt finally recovered from the last trip!
"We need to go pick something up."
"What do we need to pick up?"
"Something big and that shouldn't sit around in an airport." Tanya replied. As I mindlessly walked back to my room to pick up my purse (another purchase on Tanya's behalf) I tried to figure out what would be so important to pick up.
Was it some sort of food? No, we had plenty of food since we went shopping only yesterday. Was it some sort of special vampire food supplement of supply of bagged blood? Possibly, but I'd never heard of special vampire supplements and I couldn't figure out where in the world they would get it from. Then again, vampires had been living among us for a while apparently; they could have some secret organization to help them.
Was it some newborn that they had agreed to help? Was it James? I pause in my step, causing Tanya to look back to at me and ask if anything was wrong. I shook my head no and continued walking to the car. Of course it couldn't be James. He said he'd come straight to the house. Laurent would tell him instructions or something like that. It could be a newborn. After all, Tanya said that whatever it is should not be kept with an airport full of people.
"Stop trying to figure it out, Cerys." Laurent said from the front seat. The comment finally knocked me back into reality enough that I could process that I had my purse, I was in the car, I was the only one in the backseat, I was buckled in, and Tanya was once again speeding like a maniac.
"I could always try." I muttered.
"There wouldn't be any point…" Tanya said. "We'll be there in… about 20 minutes at this speed."
"What if we get caught by a cop?"
"We won't."
"Are you sure."
"Yes."
"Positive?"
"Yes, go back to trying to figure out what we're getting, you're annoying me." I smiled and went back to my thoughts, although I still couldn't figure out any more reasons we would be going to town, or the airport for that matter.
"Is it one of your friends?" I asked suddenly.
"You could say that." Tanya replied. Great, that was no help. At least I new it was most likely a vampire unless she considered animals her friends in some sick and twisted way.
oOoOoOo
"The flight was delayed." Tanya said as she returned to where Laurent and I had found a seat on one of the benches in front of where all of the passengers would arrive.
"They did it on purpose." I muttered. "They knew I didn't know who was coming and decided to hold the suspense longer."
"I'm sure that's the reason." Laurent muttered.
"Hey Tanya, you could have driven at normal speed! Now we have to wait around here until the flight comes in." I said with a smile. Tanya scowled, but got over the comment soon enough.
"Flight 269 from Phoenix, Arizona, now arriving." Someone said about a half hour later.
"That would be them." Laurent said as he stood up and stretched his legs.
"Them? There's more than one."
"No, there's just one. I just don't want to give anything away."
"Don't worry, you're not." I muttered. "Wait, from Arizona? Isn't it a bit too sunny in Arizona for you guys?"
"For a permanent settlement it is, but this person was only passing through." Tanya explained. "If you don't stay in one place for that long, or at least long enough to build a reputation or any suspicion then you can go wherever you want."
"I swear, I learn something everyday about you guys." I said.
"That's what happens when you become aware that humans are not the only… intelligent creatures on this planet."
"Or that our fantasies are actually real."
"That too." Tanya said with a smile. "How long does it take to get everyone off?
"Long." I muttered remembering past family vacations. "Are we going to need to wait for them to claim their baggage."
"No," a deep voice said as two leather clad arms wrapped around my stomach. "I have everything I need right here."
"James!" I squealed. Ok, I don't usually squeal, but I believe that this is a time that an exception can be made.
"Hello love." He said before giving me a kiss.
