Chapter 15: There should be a warning label on my heart.
School was a blast over the past months. Vexin, Samuel and I were the main talk, the gorgeous three. Vexin and Samuel took the role as brothers, Vexin finally allowed living with his brother after all these years. I found it amusing, and I felt sorry for Nessie. She didn't get as much attention as we did. She was still as popular though, the Cullen, Getsuei, Moretti kids owned this school now. I was sure, for now at least.
"Christmas break is tomorrow," Nessie said excitedly as we sat at the lunch table. "time really flies." We all nodded. It was true, time did fly, it flew by fast, but it didn't bother me, I knew we had forever to waste. I sat there, the only one eating, I often felt awkward eating around them. I mean my heart still beat, like Nessie's except my was far more slower than it should have been, I had to breath still. My Kitsune genes overpowered the effects of being transformed, it always had.
"I think I may go back to Europe for Christmas," Vexin said normally, He was looking at the table. "I haven't been there for many years." There was something else in his voice, fear. He was trying to get away from something, I could feel it. He had been really jumpy since he came here, afraid to stay; I made him thought, I didn't want him to get in trouble elsewhere. I wanted to ask why, but someone had spoken.
"Hey Keysah." Jeremy Hines said mockingly as he walked over to our table. "Mind coming over to my place tonight, the football team, and cheerleaders are hosting a party. Since you seem to be real close with Natalie, she'd probably want you come." There was that stupid smirk on his face that made me want to rip his lips right off.
"First of all, Its Kysa." I said coldly. "Kye-Suh." I pronounced it slowly for him so he'd get it for once. "Secondly, I don't like going to parties without my bodyguards" I motioned to Vexin, and Samuel who grinned, slowing off their unnaturally sharp teeth. Jeremy's face was priceless.
"Well you're invited, bring one of them if you'd like." He said shaking, Samuel and Vexin scared him, and they enjoyed every minute of it. "Only one though...Kysa." He hurried away from our table, tripping on the leg of someone else's chair. We all bursted out laughing, and pushing the party to the back of minds for the time being. The bell finally rang, and we headed to our classes. The rest of the day, once again, flew by – A lil' too fast.
"Vexin, you can't leave." I begged with him in my room. He had stopped by to say goodbye to me before he left for Europe. It was only two days into Christmas break, he didn't have to leave now. "At least go to that stupid party with me..." It was my only chance of getting him to stay longer, I was going to use it.
"Ky," He said so soft I couldn't barely hear him. "I thought you were going to take Samuel." There was hurt in his voice when he said Sam's name. It almost brought tears to my eyes, I loved them both, but I couldn't, could I? "It be better, If I left." He turned, and reached for the door knob, I reached out and caught is hand before he could turn it.
"You're not going anywhere where I can't see you," I whispered. I had always said that when we were still in Fredrick's castle. "I'm suppose to look after you." I said the words the same way I had said them all those years ago; with passion, and love for the boy who had healed my heart. I couldn't let me leave me again, he'd just come back into my life. He owed me that, to stay.
"Kysa," He started to say, but I placed my finger on his lips. "No, Vexin, stay. Stay with me." I said softly as I leaned closer to him. "I want you to stay." Our faces were almost touching now. I could tell he was struggling with so much right now; Staying or Going, the blood he could probably smell pumping through my veins still.
He sighed. "Fine Kysa, I'll stay." He moaned. I smiled at him, and then he did something that I didn't expect. He leaned down and kissed my gently. "But it's your fault if anything goes wrong" He smiled at me, and then opened my door, leaving me in the room alone. It was one of those moments where my heart beat fast enough to achieve the normal rate. I guess I brought it on myself, leaning in that close to him trying to change his mind with charm.
I walked downstairs, and found him speaking with Carlisle. That was odd, he usually didn't take with the Cullen's that much, only Sam. Then I saw something that shocked me even more, Edward was with them. Vexin never went near Edward, he was afraid of him the minute he had seen the enraged father. But there they were chatting like had been friends their whole life, except with more urgency than friends would chat. I shrugged it off, and walked downstairs and into the living room. Emmett, and Samuel were watching football, Jasper was out with Alice. Bella, and Rosalie took Renesmee shopping in Seattle, and Esme was out with some of the neighbor ladies helping landscape some historical place; How Esme like. It was only me and the guys today, which slightly frightened me.
"Hey Ky." Samuel said looking back at me. He had that boyish grin on his face, that was the one thing he hadn't lost. "Wanna join us?" I nodded, and skipped across the room to sit on the couch between Emmett, and Samuel. Emmett smiled, and put his arm around me, while Samuel's hand intertwined with mine. I heard a growl from the kitchen, and saw Vexin glaring at Sam with such a hateful expression. I knew this had been coming for months. Samuel had openly showed his affection for me whenever Vexin was around, causing Vexin to keep to himself what I knew he wanted to tell me.
"Why don't you get you're hands off of her." Vexin snapped. Samuel tensed and turned his head to glare at him. I felt Emmett remove his arm, and watch the two boys with interest. Edward also stood on the sidelines, I knew there would be no help from them.
"Make me," Samuel snapped back. His grip on my hand tightened, and I heard a sharp crack. I pulled my hand away and held it against me. Vexin was at my side within seconds holding me to his chest. It didn't hurt that bad, Sam had only cracked it.
"You hurt her." He accused the confused boy. Sam was looking from me to Vexin.
"I didn't mean to," He growled. "If you wouldn't have made me so angry, I wouldn't have done it." Tension was building up in the room, I could feel it. I couldn't say anything, because I knew they wouldn't listen to me.
"Maybe you should get anger management." Vexin said coldly. "One reason shes not taking you to that party." He muttered under his breath. I knew any normal person wouldn't be able to hear that, but Samuel wasn't a normal person. I heard his growl, and felt is icy glaze on me. I shuddered and pulled away from Vexin. I found my way into Emmett's arms. I knew he would protect me from them.
"Shes taking you?" Sam said bitterly. There was so much hurt in his voice. I looked at him and frowned, his eyes were clouded over. He was no longer the lovable Sam I knew.
"I can take both of you." I finally said desperately. I felt Emmett's grip on me tighten when Samuel and Vexin looked at me. Both their eyes were filled with hate for the other, I wish now I wouldn't have suggested it. Then I heard the hiss, and Emmett pushed me behind him, growling at Sam; who was now on his feet.
"No, take him." He spat, looking at Vexin now. "It seems like you need him more than you need me Kysa." There was so much pain, such much raw emotion in those words, it made me want to run out from behind Emmett, and just hold Samuel in my arms again; It was too late for that now."I guess seeing as you don't need me anymore, I'll leave." I heard his footsteps walk across the room, and the door open, then slam shut.
I held back the tears that wanted to slid past my defenses. I wouldn't let myself cry here, in front of Edward, Emmett, and Vexin. I slowly removed myself from Emmett and looked around the room. Vexin was still kneeling beside the couch, looking up at me with regret filled eyes. "I didn't mean to make him leave." He whispered. "I'm sorry." I knew he meant those words, I could see it in his eyes.
"Its OK." I whispered, barely able to control the grief that wanted to take over my body. I was trembling, and soon found myself falling to the floor, caught just in time in Emmett's strong arms. He placed me on the couch, and looked up at Edward. A silent exchange was pasted between them, and I heard the door open and shut. I felt Vexins hand in mine now, he kept telling me how sorry he was.
I couldn't believe Sam would just leave like that. It felt like it was yesterday, when I walked into that classroom and saw that gorgeous boy sitting beside me. Like it was yesterday when that Lunar eclipse finally ended, and my night sky was brightened by the shining moon. Now that was all gone, he had removed himself from my life without force this time. That Lunar Eclipse was back, and I had only my star to light up my sky. Was that enough?
(Samuel's POV)
How could she do that to me? Choose that boy, over me? I had known her since she was 6, he had only known her since she was 17 for 80 years; What did that make her, 97 when they met? She had loved me first, we were going to be married. Stupid vampires for ruining it all. For just letting that all just fall apart. For stealing my heart away.
I stormed back to the apartment I stayed at, It was quite cozy. I gathered the few things I had, and packed them away in the backpack I always carried with me. I checked to make sure everything was gathered, and I opened my door. I gasped, Edward stood there, looking at me with an expressionless face.
"You're actually leaving?" He asked curious. Did he not think I was? I was sure that I had said it with all the seriousness I could muster. I couldn't stand doing that to Kysa, but she had chosen him over me, I had to. She couldn't love us both; It was him or me.
"Yes I'm leaving." I said matter-of-factly. I didn't want my confidence to slip, I was too stubborn for my own good. I knew I had made the right choose, If I stayed Kysa would only get hurt worse. I was making her choice for her. "You can't change my mind, Edward so don't even try." I finally said, slipping past him. I started off down the street not looking back. I heard his footsteps following behind me.
"I really do hope you know what you're doing." He said calmly. He was catching up to me. I couldn't stand that he was trying to change my mind. Couldn't he read my thoughts? Couldn't he see my reasoning? Why didn't he just leave me alone? "Cause, I don't want to." He said answering my last question.
"Go away Edward," I said coldly. Maybe if I used forced he would leave. "Before I do something I regret." I could feel the anger burning within me, he was still following me. I shoved my hand in my pocket and held the tiny object that laid there, and blanked everything out of my mind. "I said go," This time I said it with more force.
"No, Samuel." He replied coolly. I couldn't take it. He was so composed, so calm! How could he be calm? Couldn't he tell how much she had hurt me? How much she had pushed me away? I gripped the lighter in my pocket and turned around and faced him.
"You're going to regret not leaving me alone." The monster within me was controlling me now, I no affect on my actions, the monster controlled it all. I pulled the lighter out and flung myself at Edward.
(Kysa's POV)
I don't remember falling asleep, but I guess I had. My dreams were filled with nightmares. I saw Samuel's face peering through the flames of a raging fire, and Edward burning within the flames. I screamed for Samuel to help him, but he only laughed and watched him burn. I started sobbing. Then the real world started calling me back. I could hear Emmett, and Vexins voices trying to wake me. My eyes flew open, and I gasped for air. Thats when the shrill screams filled the air.
Emmett tensed, and Carlisle was in the room. The cry was no where near the Cullen house, but sounded more towards forks. Words were passed between Carlisle, Vexin, and Emmett, and I was left alone in the house. Everything was silent. I was scared, what had my nightmare meant?
Then I heard the shrill cry once more. It pierced through the air; it was filled with such pain. Then my keen senses picked up something else. My blood froze like ice in my veins; I smelled the faint scent of smoke.
