Part 6
Cassidy stared blankly at Khardine. Khardine looked so sincere, her blue eyes earnest, her raven curls around her oval face, almost like a doctor trying to tell a patient they had a life threatening disease. Or in Khardine's case trying to tell Cassidy some stupid story about a secret society of vampires, witches and werewolf and that Orion was some important *vampire*. She'd never heard such a ridiculous story.
"Cassidy?"
They sat in Cassidy's room. Khardine had wanted somewhere private to talk. Both of her sisters were out so she had invited Khardine over. Now she was regretting it. "What?"
"Say something." Khardine tried to smile.
"I don't think this is such a funny joke."
Khardine frowned, starting to pace around the bed. "It's not a joke. I know it's hard to believe - "
Cassidy laughed harshly. "Believe? Believe you? Believe that the guy I'm in love with is a *vampire*?" Cassidy shook her head. "It's the most absurd thing I've ever heard."
Khardine stopped pacing and looked at her. "I know what - "
"You know nothing!" Cassidy shouted. "You're just jealous cause I've found the love of my life and you haven't! Go *away*!"
"But - "
"Get out!" Cassidy grabbed a book from the night stand and threw it at her
Khardine yelped and ducked out the way. She left the room before Cassidy could throw anything else at her. Cassidy sat on the bed, tears burning in her eyes. Khardine was jealous, everyone was. They didn't have a love like she did. ^Then again, if Orion loved you as much as he said he does, why hasn't he told everyone you're soulmates?^ her inner voice pointed out.
Cassidy scrambled to her desk, thumbing through her address book for the phone number Orion had given her. "I need to se you right away," she told his answering machine. "I'll be at our usual spot." She hung up, tapping her fingers on the desk. Orion would tell her he was just a normal boy. The thought of a hidden society of supernatural creatures amongst humans, that it had always been there.it was just.weird and not to mention creepy.
She left the house, walking down to the small beach, finding a secluded spot hidden behind a few palm trees with some large smooth rocks and a wonderful view of the ocean, particularly beautiful at night when the moon was reflected rippling across the ocean like a silver ribbon. It was their secret spot where she and Orion would make out and not be caught. Cassidy sat on one of the rocks, waiting.
