Chapter 10

Together

Two weeks had passed since I had changed Nick and we shared our first kiss. Neither of us had been quite sure on why we had kissed, but as time passed, we soon learned that we loved each other.

In the three years that I had traveled with Andrew and Alexandra, I never thought about what would happen if I had found a mate. It was just a strange new experience, much like when I had become a vampire or tried human or animal blood the first time. I never had a boyfriend in high school. I mean I had a few friends who were boys, but that was as far as it went.

In the time since I had changed Nick, we had left the Twin Cities and wandered around the US. We avoided towns, and when we needed to stop because of the sun, my car now back with the Cullens, we found an abandoned house in the country or stayed in the woods.

Nick was adjusting to being a vampire, a little better than I had. He loved running as much as I did. We traveled across the northern part of the US and most of Canada.

We stayed away from the Twin Cities and Indianapolis for obvious reasons.

We stopped in a wooded area in Colorado, because of the sun. "So," said Nick. "Where are we heading next?"

"I don't know. Where do you want to go?"

"You know, you need to work on your indecisiveness."

"Nick, it was part of how I was raised."

"I understand. It is just going to take some time getting used to all of your last second decisions."

"Well, we have all the time in the world. That's the beauty of being a vampire, we have our entire immortal lives to do things."

"We could go visit the Cullens."

"We were just there not to long ago. Besides it is risky for me because my sister and brother-in-law live there."

"You could finally take me to meet the Denalis or your former coven."

"Denalis maybe, but I don't know where my former coven is."

"You could show me where you grew up."

"It is way too risky. Two years ago I swore I would not go back until they had passed away."

"Every thing is just too much of a risk for you. You need to live and let live."

"I'm trying to keep us safe. It is not like I can walk in my parent's or any of one of my siblings' front door. To them Chloe Marie Andrews died 7 years ago. No, she didn't go missing, she's dead."

"You don't know that."

"I've seen my gravestone."

"Gravestone?"

"It reads Chloe Andrews April 28, 2005-September 18, 2024. Loving friend, sister and daughter. RIP. September 18 is the day I went missing."

"How do you know this?"

"About a year after I became a vampire, I convinced Matt to take me back to Indianapolis to check on my family."

"And did you?"

"Never made it. We crossed through a cemetery late at night, while heading to their house. Based on the way we came, it was the quickest path. I saw my gravestone. I stopped Matt and told him I had seen enough. I was upset for a couple of weeks. Since then, I've been back once." Nick put his arm around me.

"It's okay."

"That is all we ever are to them. You can enjoy being a vampire as much as you want, but all you ever become for your family is an empty grave." If my tear ducts were working, I would have been crying.

"That's not true. They will always remember us. Fine, we won't go to Indianapolis. We just need to decide what to do. If there is one place you would want to go, where would it be?"

"It is the one place I will not go, home."

"The next place, then."

"I think going to see the Denalis would be fun."

"Works for me."

A/N. Please R&R. Hope you are enjoying. So Chloe reveals a little more about her previous exploits, and Nick tells her she is too indecisive. If you are wondering about her birth and death dates, the death date was picked at random. Her birthday is of a little bit more significance. It is also mine.
