A Girl With A Planned Out Eternity | Chapter Twenty Six
Star had been shocked there had been a way out of the horrible nightmare. How could it have been that easy? Why didn't they stop her from leaving? Perhaps they were sick of her too? Star wasn't quite sure if it was a trick or not especially with the knot of nerves settling in her body. Nothing was that easy in life especially something like that. Shouldn't they worry about their dirty little secret getting out? Either way, Star rushed away from the cave as quickly as her legs could carry her. The flowing skirt had seemed to get out of the way a few times with a few falls but Star was at least out of her personal hell. What if they came back for her? It worried her but there was an exit out of it. What about Laddie? Her little 'friend' didn't matter to her anymore as long as she was free to live her life. Now she could find Micheal and live her life except for knowing about what exactly was out there. What about Max? Star couldn't worry about those details for this was a victory for her. The women paused for a breather while trying to contemplate what to do. Where would she go? Home wasn't exactly a good choice especially with the situation at hand. Her thirst for blood was strong along with the slow pain coming in waves through the day. There was nothing for her to do about that except get help. Perhaps Micheal knew what to do? Star could easily die from the lack of blood over a course of days but they'd win and Star didn't want that. She wanted them to die for what they did to her and to the innocent lives lost at the boardwalk. How could a human even think of doing that? Even their little Arielle wasn't as innocent as it appeared. She made it out to seem like it was nothing or was she acting? Star knew the kid cared deeply for their leader but why? There was nothing good about that man but the kid set out to find something nice about him. She swore that he was a completely different person on the inside and Star would always nod her head in agreement. That child was a pure idiot with lies formed tightly around her. It was sad to see another life lost to the dark gift but it happened. Arielle would have to live through her short life as a vampire until Star figured out a way to stop it all. How could she set out to destroy a 'family' she once had? It was simplest in her mind except on how to go about it. There was nothing easy about killing one of those ruthless killers but Star would find a way to.
"You thought it was that easy, didn't you?" Max said as Star scanned the thickening darkness for him. How could she be so blind to this situation? Of course it hadn't been that easy to live that frightening 'home' of theirs. It would haunt her for the rest of her life – if she made it that far from the home. Laughter sounded off from the distant which made the women jump up in surprise. What was going to happen to her? Her eyes snapped up to the man standing before her with that cheerful smile and thick framed glasses. He seemed like such a kind soul except the monster was hiding behind the veil. Star stepped back before colliding onto the ground with a loud thud.
"H-He left me go, I needed to! I don't want to be like them or you. I want to live a normal life and you can't stop me from it." Star stumbled with her words before finally letting them flow freely. After gasping for air, Star contemplated getting back up or staying on the ground. Her nerves were getting the best of her and now her worries were on a high. What if she didn't make it past this nightmare?
"You cause a lot of issues don't you, Star?" Max remarked while staring down at the frightened miss on the ground. His anger was forced towards her for the amount of destruction caused. It wasn't that hard to put pieces of the puzzle together to decipher the full picture. He could see it clearly when Arielle was stuck to David's side at the boardwalk each night. Star ruined things so easily that Max had built since the beginning of things.
"I-I didn't do anything!" Star argued before keeping her mouth shut. What would happen if she argued with him? Would her death come more quickly than planned? The thought of her leaving the earth scared her. Star didn't even get to live out her life beyond eighteen and now it was going to be ended?
"I had all these lovely plans until you ruined them, Star. You see, Arielle's life was all laid out to be put together with Helen and David. Than you come along and switch things around like you belong." Max started to explain. There was so many missing puzzle pieces that hadn't been told especially to Arielle who would never find out. Why would she need to know about her life being put together before she even arrived? Star looked around nervously with the thoughts of what Max had said. Everything had been preplanned? What did that even mean to her?
"Helen wanted a child for so long but our kind can't reproduce. Instead Helen decided to plan out an act for her own 'child' so to speak. That's where Arielle comes in and with that came the bond that was discussed with David and I. It was quite the affair to go through but in the end, I won the argument with Helen." Max spoke while circling around the women who was confused over the affair. Star knew then that Arielle hadn't been just any child but one that was taken from her actual home. It made her blood boil at the act they had done. Arielle never had a normal life because some woman's selfish act and two joined in for the fun?
"How could you do that to her?" Star hissed. Max looked down at the young women with a smile. How could they? It had been easy in their case and worked so perfectly.
"Easily and has yet to disappoint. Arielle has her whole life planned with no decisions need to be made. Granted she lost an actual home in the process but won a wonderful prize – love. Don't you see how happy the two of them could be? But you decided to mess that up before she arrived. You shall pay for the pain you brought down on my soon to be daughter. It's such a crime isn't it, Star?" Max said while crouching down eye level with her. It would be a great reward to see her blood shed after bringing destruction within Arielle and the great plans awaiting them.
"Plans? Your soon to be daughter? What else do you have planned for her?" Star whispered. The anger she felt towards the young women was slowly boiling down. Pity rose up and shame on the ones who had done this to her. Arielle couldn't have a life she wanted for it was planned for her – every little detail.
"We'll see won't we? You won't but I'll get to see the marvelous conclusion." Max said. Star shook her head while shutting her eyes. She didn't want to see the last of the cruel world around her. It was sad to see it all go and for her life to be ended so soon but her heart went out for the child. There was nothing exciting to be had for her except what they others expected. Arielle wanted bliss but it was all fabricated.
"I hope David does love her for Arielle's sake and their future." Star whispered before her life was slowly being taken away from her. At least the truth had been heard by one except it hadn't been the one who mattered. What was out there for Arielle? What would her 'happily ever after' be? Was there even going to be one for her? Max stood up as the life had been drained from the blinded women. Instead Max had felt exactly the same but knew it had to be true. Hopefully for Arielle's sake and for the future, David had felt love for her. Star had been right but Max didn't want to believe it anymore – He knew Arielle adored his son but were those feelings returned?
Authors Notes – I know you all asked for a fluff scene but obviously this wasn't it. I'm rather unsure of what to write for the scene without making David too OOC but it will most likely occur that way. I don't know how it'll go considering I'm not the best with those scenes. If you give me idea's in the box below for one than do so! I'll love you forever considering the only idea I came up with was Arielle drawing again ( Drawing something pertaining to David again because she's just that way ) but I need others that I could use in the next scene. So this chapter explained a few things further into the bond that was created by Helen, Max and David. But now Max is doubting if David will actually love Arielle in the end so I want to know what you think -
Do you think David really loves Arielle or is this all just an act? ( Which we know is cruel but Arielle loves him so much. )
To Mrs Ace Merrill – For giving me amazing advice for the David OOC fluff stuffs so thank you again! I also hope their love lasts as well unless David messes it up like he always does. Arielle is a sensitive child and it's easy to upset her but still David does some stupid things to mess with her.
To Scarlet Has Fantasy Issues – The Poodle is officially gone! Now we have Helen to get rid of and possibly Micheal if he chases down Arielle for some 'things' (; Imagine if he had a thing for Arielle? David would definitely kill him then for he is completely too protective over his girl.
To GothicPhantom – It's fine for not reviewing, I was wondering where you were! Max/Star showdown was kind of used in this? Loved writing out this chapter considering it was SUPER easy. They are back on track but a little dented for Arielle may not trust him all the way. Still she adores him too much to hate him for a long time. I'll definitely try to get a mushy/fluff scene, I may have an idea now. I'm awesome? Excuse me but you are super awesome!

I made it to 85 reviews? You guys are perfect! Thank you a billion times and I kind of want to give out a small gift for you all. So if you would like a cover for your story – Yes you reading this and have reviewed at least five times – than PM me. I'll definitely do that for as a gift! Just note, I started school the other day so I'm a little busier than usual. My feet are killing me from new shoes and I'm having to go through the fact nobody in my class knew The Lost Boys or New Kids On The Block; Let me go cry in the corner now.
