Chapter Two
When they got to Leona's parents place everyone is awaiting them in the living room. Leona walked in with Michael right behind her and they went into the living room were everyone is awaiting them. Leona walked over to her father and sat beside him on the couch. Marcus got up and walked up to Michael with a mischievous smile on his face. "Michael I need to ask you something." Marcus told him sternly. Michael suddenly looked nervous and replied, "Any thing." "Do you love my daughter enough to do anything even die for her?" Marcus asked him seriously. Michael stuttered at first and said, "Yes I do. I would do anything for her." Then Leona stood up and said, "I hope so Michael cause we are about to find out." Then Pryase stood behind Leona and Leona bent her neck to show off her neck. Before Michael could even blink Pryase's eyes turned blood red and put his mouth to Leona's neck. As soon as Pyrase bit into her neck Leona turned vampire, her eyes turned golden yellow and her hair turned red. Pyrase pulled away from her and Leona smirked glancing at Pyrase. Michael looked at them dazed. Leona smirked at Michael and said, "Now you know the truth, Michael. We aren't normal. Me and my family are vampires. Mike, I love you so much and in order to keep you safe we had to show you who we really are." Marcus stood between Leona and Michael an he looked right at Mike. "This is why I asked you the question. Do you love her enough to stay with her knowing that shes a vampire and that if you intend on staying with her you will have to join us?" Marcus asked him seriously. Michael looked at him and took a deep breathe. He looked at Leona and then back at Marcus. "This is all to much to take in at one time. Can I have the night to let every thing register? Its as if I'm dreaming all this." Michael replied. Marcus smiled and said, "Of course but you must promise not to tell any one about us or else you can put every one of us in danger. Think it all over and then come back to talk to me." Michael nodded his head and left. Leona turned to look at everyone and said, " I don't know if hes going to come back or not. His thoughts were all jumbled. I couldn't read them. I don't know what to think, father." Marcus took a deep breathe and replied," We'll just have to wait and see what happens. That's all we can do for right now, my daughter. If he loves you like I think he does, he'll be back." Leona sighed and replied, " I hope your right. I'm going to head home. I need to get my mind cleared." Angelo Smirked and said," Ya, you need to get layed too. Your up tight and bitchy lately." "Well, If you'd remember I got layed last night. But getting my frustrations out sounds good but I cant use all my vampire strength with Mike and right now I don't think Mike can look at me no less have sex with me." Leona replied with a smirk. Everyone laughed at what Leona said and Jacob replied, "Well I think I'd be able to handle you." Leona giggled and said in response,"No Jacob I think that I'd tare you apart. Well I'm going to go. I've gotta think." Before anyone could say anything Leona was gone. Leona ran as fast as the wind thinking of what had transpired tonight. When Leona stopped she was outside Michael's house looking up at his bedroom window. Leona leaped up in the air and landed on the roof in front of his bedroom window. She looked through the window to see Michael laying on the bed sleeping and so she silently opened up the window an crawled through into his bedroom. She sat beside him on the bed and whispered in his ear,"Michael, I love you." Then she kissed his lips and as she pulled away she caught the sent of blood. Leona flipped out so she emedently searched for a bite mark and sure enough she found one. Leona quickly called her father and told him. She picked up Michael and carried him to her fathers house as fast as she could go. When she got there Michael was already starting to change with out Leona's knowledge and Leona's father told her to lay him on the couch. So Leona did and when Leona backed away from him Marcus looked him over to see what was going to happen and what they will have to do if they need to save him but Marcus relived that someone had changed him. "But who would change him, father besides us?" Leona asked in wonder. Marcus turned to look at Leona and replied,"I have no idea, my daughter. I only wish that Michael made this choice and wasn't forced to do it." Leona was about to cry and said,"Well, no matter if it was or wasn't, father now it is done and Michael will have to learn are ways. I just hope Michael don't blame us for this and turns his back on us cause that just be the most dangerous thing for both us and him. If he falls into the wrong hands as a new born vampire this could mean we are in a lot of trouble." Marcus sighed because he new his daughter was correct and replied," Leona, your right and lets just hope it don't go that way." Marcus looked at Leona and said,"Go home and I'll deal with this. Don't worry about Michael hes safe here with me and your mother. Just make sure your ready for your graduation tomorrow." Leona nodded and replied,"I will father but what about Michael? He is supposed to be graduating tomorrow as well." Marcus smiled and said,"Don't worry i will handle everything. Just go home and make sure that you are ready." Leona nodded and left to go home. She ran the whole way home with the wind in her hair and thought about all that has happened tonight. Leona didn't know if she should cry or smile and she didn't know how her father was going to accomplish getting Michael who will be a young new vampire in the morning to a graduation with over a hundred humans/ normals. When Leona finally got home she went up to her room and layed down upon her bed. She stared at the sealing and thought. Then at some point she fell asleep and woke up the next morning to her phone ringing. So she ran to answer her phone and it was her father. Leona was worried as she started to talk to her father.
The conversation:
Leona:Father, how is Michael? Does he know that it wasn't us who turned him? Is he OK? Is he adjusting to his new body?
Marcus: (Marcus chuckled) He is fine, Leona. I am explaining everything to him as we speak and I'm trying to find out who did this to him but he can't remember. We are going to have to investigate this after your graduation. We have to find out who did this behind the royal families back.
Leona: Father, it was probably one of are own scared that we were going to loose a close friend. I'll find out before tonight even comes. I promise, ether way I will find out who did it and why.
Marcus: I know you will, Daughter. Good luck and get ready for your graduation. Michael will be there.
Leona: OK, father. See you later.
Marcus: Bye, my daughter.
Leona hung up the phone and headed back up to her room. She looked at the alarm clock and it said 6:25, Leona sighed and said,"Its too early. I have to be there at 7:00, so I have to get ready." So Leona got dressed into her black knee high sun dress with stockings, sandals, and she put her hair up in a bun with her bangs loose. After she got dressed, she went into the bathroom and put on her eyeliner and dark purple lipstick. She stuck the lipstick and eyeliner in her bag when she was done. Leona went to the kitchen and made herself a toasted bagel with creme cheese with a warmed up cup of blood. After she was done she cleaned up the dishes and headed out to meet everyone there. Once she got there Grora ran right up to her panicked and said,"Leona, I'm sorry but I did it. I changed him. I just got scared for you because i know how much you love him and the rest of us didn't want to loose a close friend. I'm so sorry." Leona wasn't very happy with her friend but she understood were Grora was coming from so she calmly said,"Grora, you know we don't change normals unless they approve of it and you did it with out his permission. Now you have to talk with my parents to see if they'll let it slide or not. Grora, I cant help you this time but I'll do my best to get you out of it if i can but i doubt it if Michael is mad at all. If Michael is mad because of his transformation then there is no way your getting out of this easily." Grora looked like she was about to cry so Leona hugged her and said,"Grora, I'm not mad at you at all because of what happened last night but next time don't flip out so easily. I would have handled it myself, Grora. I promise you everything will be fine." Grora smiled and let go of Leona saying,"Thank you, Leona! Your right everything will be just fine." Leona smiled and as soon as Grora walked away she called up her father as soon as she was alone again.
The Conversation:
Leona: Father, It was Grora. She told me as soon as i showed up to the graduation. Is she going to be in a lot of trouble?
Marcus: No, Leona she will be in no trouble at all. There was no harm done and Michael don't remember any ways so its not that big of a deal.
Leona: Oh, Thank God! Grora was flipping the hell out. So are you here or on your way?
Marcus: We're here already. Michael should be there shortly.
Leona: All right. Well, I've got to go and get ready. See you later, father.
They said good-bye and she hung up the phone. She put on her cap and gown so that she could head to the gymnasium to get ready for the ceremony. Once she got there all her friends came running over to her and they talked for awhile until they had to line up in alphabetical order. As they ceremony started Leona looked over were Michael should be lined up and to her surprise Michael was there. All Leona could do was smile and pray that everything would go just fine.
After the graduation everyone met back up in the Gym and Leona was talking with everyone when Michael walked up to her. "Leona, we need to talk later at your parents place. Meet me there." Michael told her and then he left. Grora walked over to Leona and asked, "What was that all about?" Leona shrugged her shoulders and replied,"I don't know really but tell everyone to meet me at my place to night. We are going to party. Everyone is to be there at 7:00 but i need you and Angelo to be there early to help me set up. So be there at 5:00, OK?" Grora got all excited and answered,"Yay, I cant wait. We are going to have a blast. We'll be there." Then Leona left to go to her Parents place to see what Michael wants to talk to her about so she drove over to her parents house as quickly as she could. When she got there her whole family was present and waiting for her out side the door with her father, mother and Michael in front of everyone. Leona got out of the car and stood in front of everyone. "What is going on?" Leona asked wonderingly. Everyone just smiled wickedly and Michael walked tords her with a grin. Michael walked up to Leona and took her hand into his while saying,"Leona, I love you with all my heart and now I can be all that you need. I want you to be my lover, my wife and my queen. I will give you what ever you desire of me. Will you be my mate, Leona?" Leona smiled and started to cry happy tears. "Yes, of course I will." Leona replied as Michael put a Gothic looking ring with a blood stone on her ring finger. Leona jumped into his arm hugging him tightly and all her family cheered.
Ya, you thought that's what really happened didn't you. If you did you were wrong. This is what really happened.
When Leona showed up at her parents house her father was standing outside and so Leona walked up to him. Her father looked at her and said, "Leona, Michael wants to talk to you. Hes OK with being a vampire but hes not very thrilled that he didn't get to choice to be one." Leona felt like she was going to cry but she held back the tears and fallowed her father into the house. When they got into the house Michael was sitting on the couch speaking to Michele and when he heard Leona walk in he turned to look at her. Marcus sat beside his wife and Michael stood to speak with Leona. Leona quickly said,"Mike, I'm so sorry for all of this. You should have been able to make this choice on your own." Michael smiled a bit and said,"Leona, I don't blame you. I just want to know why you had to do this instead of wait for my decision." "I didn't even know this was going to happen and i told every one to wait to see what you decide but apparently no one likes to wait in are little group. I was going to wait, I swear. Are friends though aren't very patient." Leona replied. Michael smiled and said,"I'm not mad but I just wish that I made this choice on my own. Who did this to me any ways?" Leona sighed and replied," Grora is the one that changed you, Mike. She was afraid that you would run away from me and are world. I know that are world is way beyond your imagination or the "Normals" imagination but this is are world, are home and i wouldn't change a bit of it. You asked me the other night if I believed if there was powerful beings out there capable of loving for all eternity an yet never find their soul mate and yet your now one of them. Now I will never have to lie to you again because now you are part of my world and now I can show you our world. Now you can be part of are magical world and learn how we have blended in for so long. There are rules to are way of life but that is for our protection and for the "Normals" protection." Michael smiled and replied,"Grora did this to me. Now i know why. I look forward to all of this, Leona but for right now I'm leaving for awhile. I don't know when I'll be back but I wont be around for awhile. Honestly I don't know if I'm even coming back." Leona looked at him in disbelief and said,"Leaving? To were? Why? You may not come back. Mike, I love you and i want to spent all eternity with you. I want to share my life with you and share my world with you." "Me and your cousin Jesse are going on a trip. Hes going to teach me everything and show me this world I got forced into. Leona, I love you more now then i did when i was human but I don't know if i can deal with you right now after what Grora forced me into. I have to calm myself and just get away for now. Good-bye, Leona." Michael told her and then he walked away. Jesse and Michael left and took off to the world unknown. Leona stood in the hall staring at the door and then Leona fell to her knees. She cried into her hands because the love of her life left her, Leona's father walked over to her and picked her up into his arms. He held her into his arms and looked at Michele because he had no idea what to possibly say. Michele sighed and said,"Leona, my darling, He will be back. If you and him are meant to be he will be back, I promise you because when two vampires are meant to be they are like magnets. He will be back if it is meant to be." Leona stood up and whipped her tears away. "Your right he'll be back if we are meant to be but the pain in my heart is so painful. I have a party to get ready for tonight. How am i going to do this?" She stayed talking to her parents for awhile and then she left to meet Grora at her apartment.
When Leona walked in Grora was there with Angelo and Jacob. They walked over to her and hugged her. Leona told everyone what needed to be done so Grora and Angelo went to the store to grab cups, plates, snacks, soda, and decorations. Leona looked at Jacob and said," So you ready to go shopping with a girl? I know that's usually a guys worst nightmare." Jacob looked at her oddly and replied,"Leona, whats wrong with you? You've been crying. What happened?" Leona sighed and told him what happened at her parents house. "Now I know why you seem to be fighting to keep a smile and everything. Leona, I will help you get through this. Don't worry." Jacob told her giving her a hug. "Thank you, Jacob. You really are a good friend." Leona told him. Then they left to get ice cream, beer, wine, wine coolers, snacks, cupcakes, cookies, perougies, cheese raviolis, mozzarella sticks, pizza, chicken wings, fruit salads. Jacob got Leona laughing and joking around. Leona pushed the cart as Jacob grabbed everything and put it in the cart. Once the first cart got filled Jacob ran to get another one and started filling that one up. "Thank god we brought your truck, Jacob or else we would have never fit this all in my car." Leona said laughing. Jacob laughed and replied,"Ya, your telling me." After they found everything, they cashed out and put all the groceries in the truck. "I'm driving this time!" Leona stated as she jumped in the drivers seat. "Hey, my truck!" Jacob said with a smile. Leona stuck her tongue out at him and said,"Ha ha." Jacob smirked and said,"Well, I could drive but with you on my lap so its like your driving." Leona smirked and said,"Sounds like fun but half way back to my house i don't want to be talking about the first thing that pops up." Jacob laughed and so did Leona. Jacob jumped into the passenger side seat and they headed back to Leona's place. When they got back there Angelo and Grora were already getting things set up. Leona and Jacob brought in all the food an everything. Leona grabbed Grora and they started cooking everything. By 6:30 everything was cooked and done. Jacob was sitting on the couch and Leona was laying down with her head in him lap. Grora and Angelo were flirting like usual. "Jacob, do you think maybe me and Mike aren't meant for one another. Maybe I was meant to be with someone, I don't know, different then myself." Leona asked just thinking. Jacob smiled down at her and replied,"You never know, Leona. Just keep your options open and you'll find someone new or he might come back but like he said, he don't even know if he wants to come back. Hes probably working out his own issues and trying to put his thoughts all together. Its all new to him and he don't know how to control himself or his thoughts for that matter." Leona looked up at him with a sweet smile and said,"Ya, your right and I just hope in the end he finds happiness no matter if its with me or someone else." Leona's cell phone went off and it was Pryace.
The Conversation:
Pryace: Leona, we are all on the way.
Leona: OK see you all soon.
Pryase: Bye, Leona.
Leona: Bye.
She hung up the phone and then she looked at everyone. "Well, they are all on there way. I gotta go finish up the food." Leona said and then she went into the kitchen to finish up the rest of the food. Jacob fallowed her into the kitchen and he got himself something to drink. "Jacob, do me a favor and put some music on. My CD case is underneath my bed and there's a lot of different music in there." Leona asked him sweetly. Jacob kissed her on the forehead and replied,"Ya, I can do that. I'll be right back." When every one showed up they all ate, danced and hung out they had a blast. Leona spent most of her time with Jacob, Grora, Pryase and John. John and Jacob kept flirting with Leona and Leona thought it was rather amusing. Once everyone left except for Angelo, Jacob, John, Grora and Amy. John was passed out on the couch with Angelo, Grora was in Angelo's lap passed out in his arms, and Amy was passed out in the guest room. Leona and Jacob looked at each other and laughed silently. "Well, if you want to spend the night you ether got the floor or my room."Leona said with a smile. "I'll sleep were ever you want me to." Jacob replied. Leona smiled and said," Well, If you don't mind cuddling? you can always sleep next to me tonight."Jacob smirked and replied,"I don't mind at all. I'll keep you warm tonight." Leona giggled and led him to her room. Jacob sat on her bed to take off his pants and his shirt so that he was just in his boxers. Leona took off her shirt and pants. So that she was just in her g-string and bikini top. She pulled a pair of pajama pants out of a drawer and put them on. Jacob watched her the whole time as he climbed into bed and Leona turned around to see Jacob staring at her. "Were you watching me?" Leona asked with a smirk. "Why i wasn't supposed to?" Jacob asked with a smile. Leona shook her head at him and climbed into bed. She cuddled up to Jacob and turned so that her back was against his flat muscular stomach. Jacob put his arm around her and held her even closer to him. "Jake?" Leona asked sweetly. "Ya, Leona?" Jacob replied. "Have you ever thought of me more then a friend, Jake?" Leona asked lightly grabbing Jacobs hand and bring it up to her mouth to kiss each of his finger tips. "Leona, you have always been more to me then a friend in my mind but I just never thought you go for someone out of your race." Jacob replied. Leona smile and turn to face him. she smile up at him and replied,"Jake, I have always been attracted to you but i was already in love with Mike and after him ditching me like he did. I don't feel a connection to him any more. I feel be trade by him." Jacob sweetly kissed her forehead and Leona snuggled up to his warm body. Jacob wrapped his arms around her and they both feel peacefully asleep.
