Chapter Twenty-Nine
The Truth Be Told

Evy's P.O.V.

I woke up early today and Thayer actually happily slept on the couch after I agreed to go on a date with him. I think this would be better for me, I guess, see the real Thayer and not keep getting confused on who really is. I just hope we don't have another fight to where ever he takes me.

How did he know about a date? I mean, isn't underworld citizen just see a person and mate with them. I mean, they're very old fashioned. They're never hard to get but when they want someone they just talk to them and see if they want you back or not and if not then they can't be with that person. It's more hard and stupid but I guess that's how they grew up knowing.

I told Isabel to tell Thayer when he wakes up that I'm going for a walk. But really, Simon called and asked me to see me since it was urgent. I only told Simon that I came to New York and that's why he's here. I asked him not to tell Nate and he agreed happily.

I finally made it outside of the empire state building and went to the top level to look out at the view while I waited for Simon. The view was truly beautiful and I can't believe that I had to leave this amazing place for a stupid vampire! Okay, maybe not stupid but a lying bastard.

"Hey, we should go to another place. I didn't know this place would be packed." I heard Simon spoke behind me. I turned around meeting his bluish green eyes. He flashed me his white teeth followed him out of the empire state building.

We went in a limo which kind of surprised me and once we got to place I see an abandoned factory. He walks in and I followed him in. The whole trip there, we didn't talk at all, he just looked out the window while I fiddled with my thumbs and wondered what he wanted to talk about.

"Okay Simon, what am I doing…?" I stopped talking once I saw a lot more people inside the factory. Not really much though, maybe a dozen and a half people were there. They all looked serious and they were staring at me while I walked past them. I frowned at them all when I wanted to say something to Simon he interrupted me.

"Evy, these are hunters, which we now call slayer. We're all slayers here and we have something to tell you. We tried to warn you earlier but it was too late." He told me with a serious tone.

Wow, slayers? I'm in a room filled with Slayers! That's awesome! Wait, what is he trying to warn me earlier? And what is he talking about since it was too late?

"Simon? What's going on?" I asked him sternly.

"Do you know how I became a slayer?" He asked me, ignoring my question. I shook my head. I assume the exact same was as I did. An old man comes up to you and says you are a slayer and must protect (whatever city you live in) since it's your destiny.

I turned to look at everyone else and they were staring at me with a stern look. "I was attacked by a vampire and an hunter saved me. He wanted to take me to his headquarters and tell his boss I was interested to become a hunter just like him. I was trained as a hunter." He explained.

I frowned, okay, you can't just be trained as a hunter. You have to be born as a vampire. What type of slayer is Simon?

"Everyone else in this room except for you has trained to become a slayer free willingly. You were chosen to be one." He told me. Where is he going with this? I looked around at all the other slayers and they looked at me as if this was true and I actually believe it.

"As a hunters job we must protect the slayer and we all failed." Said a British blonde lady behind me. I turn to see her and she looked very familiar. Oh gosh, that's my English teacher. My eyes widened when I saw her.

"Miss Bennett?" I asked looking very shocked. She's a slayer? Since when? And what is she doing in New York City when I'm the one who was supposed to look after it.

"I'm at New York to protect the Slayer; we all came to New York to protect the Slayer except for Simon." Explained another male behind me. I turned to see Nate standing at the door entrance. NATE? WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE?

"Nate? I thought… what… huh?" Was all I could say. What are they trying to prove and what did Nate mean he came to New York to protect the Slayer? He's only a human.

"I originally was the slayer for New York City and my boss told me that I need to go to the Cemetery to kill a new born vampire that was an army soldier so he was a very dangerous one. While I went there to stop him, I was about to die but then the Slayer saved me." Nate told me.

"You're a slayer?" I asked my eyes wide. Since when was Nate a slayer? And he met the Slayer? That isn't fair! But if they all came to New York to protect the slayer, why didn't I been told that… oh shit! Am I? No, no, no, I'm not the slayer, I'm being ridiculous.

"The one who saved me that night was you, Evy. You're the Slayer whereas we are all hunters." Nate finished. My heart beat stopped.

I'm the slayer? This is impossible? No! I can't be! No, I don't want to be! I was supposed to be a hunter that was called Slayer to protect the original slayer but I was the original slayer the whole time?

"As us hunter, the royal vampire family has this tradition to marry the vampire slayer but we didn't want that, so we called us all a slayer to confuse the royal vampire family but it didn't work. So, we make a hunter pretend to be the slayer to marry a vampire when we really hid the actual slayer." Explained Simon.

I turned to face him and he looked serious. This is too much to take. "I'm the slayer?" I chocked. "That's why they wanted to marry me and that's what you were trying to warn me from? But failed?" I asked looking at them all.

"Evy, we tried to stop them. We wanted to so that's when they called me to go to Romania with you and try to stop the wedding. But when I tried to stop it, I was too late, you two were already married." Simon explained further.

Hang on, but Nate actually gave Thayer his blessing to marry me. I turn to face Nate and frowned, "But you helped Thayer." I frowned at him.

He shook his head gradually, "Thayer pretended he did but really he just guessed that all. He found out what you liked and what you hate, he did that all by himself. I just took the credit because I thought you might have stayed and be with me."

Thayer did all that just to ask me to marry him? But, how could I do that? Without any help especially. Did Thayer know that Nate was a hunter?

"When he proposed to you, you actually looked happy so I let it be for a moment because I was heartbroken that you picked him." He said.

I shook my head and looked around at everyone else then stop and faced Simon, "Why did you guys not wanting me to marry a vampire prince and let a hunter?" I asked looking at everyone.

"Because we couldn't allow the world's biggest angel go to the Underworld where it's too unsafe." Explained Mrs Bennett.

"Where ever a slayer is, it's unsafe. Being in the underworld would've been better since I could've done something about the tradition or killed a lot of creatures of the darkness in the Underworld." I told them, honestly.

They all looked at each other than back at me, "But it was what we were told to do. Simon thought it was time to tell you before it would be too late – he wanted to tell you while you were in the plane but he knew that you wouldn't believe him." Nate continued.

"So? What now?" I asked looking at them all. I'm pregnant and I can't do anything about it especially because I signed a contract with Thayer that I will stay with him.

"Divorce." Mrs Bennett said. I turned to her and felt my blood rushing. Hearing that word already made me hate myself.

"I can't," I shook my head.

"Look, I know you love him Evy but this is for your own safety. He can hurt you and you're already pregnant with his child, there is only one option to it and just divorce him but since you signed a contract with him, you have to kill him." Nate said.

My eyes widened. Kill Thayer? I can't do that, I mean, my child need his father. And what will happen if my child finds out that I killed their father. My child would hate me. I can't do that. I shook my head and walked out of the building and ran my way back to Isabel's apartment.

Kill Thayer; can I do that, really? Should I? Is it my destiny not to marry Thayer? I mean, I hate him but it doesn't mean I can kill Thayer.

Once I went back to Isabel's apartment she wasn't home and Ryan was watching television. I walked into the guest room ignoring Ryan and felt tears coming down my cheek.

Why am I crying? I mean, I don't love him and I don't care what happens to him. Maybe it's because I have no choice since I'm the Slayer and everyone I knew and loved lied to me because of my own 'safety'.

I guess it's what my destiny is, to kill Thayer. I know for sure after I have the child he'd turn me into a vampire and turn my child into a vampire if they turn out human. The best option is to do what I've been told.

I whipped the tears off my face and took a long hot bath and got ready for my date with Thayer. I guess I seriously have no choice but to kill him. Tonight is the night when I kill him.
