Disclaimer: I do not own Christopher, Nikolas, Sarah, or Nissa. I wish I did because that would be so kewl and I would actually make some new friends.

Certain readers may think that this story is so of course of what A A-R wrote but have faith. I never disappoint my readers and I don't intend to. Watch you will love what happens at the end of the story so don't worry. Plus I like to add twists and turns if you didn't realize that already.

An Unfolded Secret

The new brood in town had exploited their power. Sarah and Nikolas claimed thecemetery as their territory and Christopher went along with what they did. He was certainly hiding his uneasiness considering the fact that he hated doing awful things to the innocent.

"Kristopher, come sit by me," said Sarah as she leaned back on a headstone.

He sat next to her and Nikolas watched him do so. Nikolas decided to leave the two alone and left on another feeding frenzy.

"Hmmm..."

"Hmmm...what?" said Christopher as she wondered why she made that sudden noise.

"I know what you are doing and why you are doing it. I may be a vampire but I am still a Vida," said Sarah as she looked into his eyes.

"What do you mean? I got tired of being a goody goody so I decided to join my brother," he said as he kept flicking the blade of the knife.

"Kristopher, I know you didn't kill Nissa. In fact I know that she put a protection spell on you. Heh...and you thought I of all people wouldn't know..."

Christopher was stunned and staggered his breathing a bit. How did she find Nissa wasn't dead?

"I knew the knife wasn't real..." said Sarah as she revealed his tricks, " it was a really convincing prop. The blade popped back into the handle, nice touch added real blood."

Christopher just looked down and knew that everything was blown. What was she going to do to him now?

"Kristopher...look at me," she said, as she tilted his head towards her.

"Yes?" he said while knowing that she found him out.

Sarah kissed his forehead and said, "I'm not evil even if you think I am. The only thing that is evil about me is the fact that my revenge is getting to me."

Christopher was surprised to hear that. He thought that she would be furious and tell Nikolas what he had done.

"I know that you never want to kill your sister, she is the most important person in your life. I just don't get why you would want to be on Nikolas's side and fake her death at all."

Nikolas was making his way back and was expecting to see them kissing but saw them talking instead.

"Kiss me..." whispered Sarah.

Christopher did so as he heard the foot steps and he knew that Sarah was just putting up a front for Nikolas. He knew that if Nikolas didn't get what he expected that he would suspect that something wasn't right.

They stopped kissing and Sarah took a deep breath before greeting Nikolas, "hey. Back from you feeding?"

"Yea...the blood around here isn't what I expected it to be. It is so very bland, " he said as he glanced at Christopher, who was wiping the spit from both sides of his mouth.

"I guess humans don't taste the same anymore," said Christopher as he got up to sit in the willow tree.

Sarah glanced up at him with one of those 'I know what you thinking looks.' Nikolas sat on top of the tombstone that she was leaning against. For once they we all quiet and seemed like they we at peace with one another.

Back at Lily's house...

Nissa was laying down on the couch and pondered, "what should I do now? I can't just lay here and wait for him to come back."

She got up and wandered around the house and ended up in Lily's room. Nissa sat on her bed once again and looked at the picture on her wall.

"Is there something wrong my dear?" said the picture.

"Did you just talk to me?" asked Nissa as she addressed the painting.

"No I am talking to Queen Elizabeth. Of course I am talking to you. Aren't you Nissa? The girl Lily was friends with?"

"Yes...who are you?"

"I am Lily's grandmother. Call me...Rose," said the picture as she gave a sweet smile to the girl that looked puzzled.

"Rose?"

"Yes?"

"Why are you a painting?" she asked as she tried not to be so rude about it.

"I was trapped in here a long time ago and Lily kept me on her wall. She was finding a way to get me out of here but I guess nothing worked so far. So where is my darling grand-daughter?"

"I'm sorry to tell you this but..." Nissa was distracted by a figure walking into the room.

Back at the cemetery...

Nikolas had gone to mausoleum to sleep the rest of the morning away. That was good for Christopher and Sarah to have time to talk. Christopher really wanted to know why Sarah was so nice. She didn't seem like Crimson, the lady that had killed his girlfriend.

"How come you changed all of a sudden?"

"What do you mean by change exactly?" questioned Sarah as she looked at him funny.

"You aren't how you were when you had..." he looked down and sighed," killed Lily."

"Killed Lily? Who said I killed her?"

Christopher looked at Sarah and didn't understand what he had just heard. How can she ask such a question?

"I saw you slit her throat! You were there right in from of my dark eyes!"

"Oh that...ye of little faith."

"What do you mean by 'ye of little faith?'"

"You will see later on. Just you wait. But that isn't the reason why I wanted to talk to you. I wanted to let you know something."

"Sarah, you can tell me," said Christopher as he held Sarah's chin up to look into her sparkling eyes.
