Chapter 5
Aftermath and a Twist
I do not know how long I slept. It seemed like forever. I had nightmare after nightmare, until I finally woke up in a cold sweat.
"Selena, are you alright?" Talon asked from across the dark room.
"I think so." I said rubbing the back of my head.
"Do you need anything?" Ronan asked.
"Yea, where is Eric?" I asked.
"Lena, don't you remember?" Ronan asked.
"Remember what?" I asked.
"Eric left yesterday, with his father." Talon said getting up to sit beside me.
"Oh. I thought that was a dream." I said, my voice cracking on the last word.
"Oh, Lena, We are so sorry." Talon said hugging me.
"It's not your fault." I sniffled.
"We know, but we still hate to see you sad." Ronan said.
I smiled weakly at my brothers. They were always there for me. Grace and Elvi were a different story. I always felt closer to my brothers. I looked at Talon and Ronan, and scooted down in my king size bed, taking the burly babies down with me. I lay there thinking, only to be interrupted by the ringing of my phone. I reach over Ronan, grabbed my phone and looked at the Caller ID, it was Eric.
"Do I answer it?" I asked my brothers.
"Do you want to, Lena?" Talon asked rubbing my shoulder
"Will you stay here with me?" I asked.
"Yea." Ronan whispered.
"Hello?" I answered pathetically.
"Selena?" Eric asked.
"This is she." I said with a sniffle.
"It's Eric." he said.
"Yea, I know. Caller ID." I said annoyed.
"How are you?" he asked.
"How do I sound?" I asked.
"Not good." he said.
"Wow." I said sarcastically.
"Selena, I am so sorry. I have been miserable. Ever since I left, I have done nothing, I haven't slept, and I can't eat. I miss you." he said.
"You should have thought about that before you left, Eric. I can't do anything. You are my lifemate, or at least I thought you were. If you had been, you wouldn't have left. You killed me, dealt me more than my dead heart could take." I said with finality.
I was crying harder then I had when he had first left. I settled back down between Talon and Ronan and muffled my sobs in Talon's chest. I heard my phone ring again and decided that I would answer now that I was calmer.
"Speak to me." I said.
"Lena?" the voice said.
"Who is this?" I asked.
"It's Edward. I need to talk to you." he said urgently.
"Why, you ruined my life." I said trying now to break out in sobs.
"I am very sorry, Selena. I never meant to hurt you and Eric like that. I need to fix this." he said.
"Alright, Edward but if you make this any worse you very existence will cease to be." I said angrily.
"I know. I'll make it better, Lena. I swear." he said and ended the call.
"What was that all about?" Ronan asked sitting up.
"That was Edward Cullen." I said.
"What does he want?" Talon growled.
"He wants to talk to me." I replied.
"Why?" Ronan asked.
"He wants to try and 'fix' things between Eric and me." I replied.
I sat there for a while before I heard a knock on my bedroom door.
"Selena, There is someone at the door for you." Victor said.
"Alright, I am coming." I said getting up.
I walked down the stairs and saw Edward and Eric standing at the foot of the stairs.
"Selena, we are here for you when you need us." Talon thought out to me.
"I know." I thought back.
"I know why you're here, Edward. Alright, spill, Cullen." I said.
"Eric, go out of hearing range." Edward said.
"Why?" Eric asked looking at me.
"Because I told you to." Edward said.
"I will be back soon." Eric said as he took off.
"Go into the living room, Edward. You are going to start explaining now." I said.
"Alright. I will start at the beginning." he said as he sat on the couch.
"Good." I said sitting on the piano bench across from him.
"Okay, Eric called me about two days ago and told me that he had found someone that claimed to be his true lifemate. When I asked who it was he simply said, "Selena Donovan." I sat there in my home in Portland baffled that you, Selena Donovan, had fallen in love with my son, and not only was he your lifemate he was your Singer." Edward said shaking his head disbelievingly.
"So what you thought it impossible for me to fall in love." I said incredulously.
"No, quite the opposite, but I didn't think it would be my son." he said.
"So you made up stories and got him to leave?" I asked.
"Yes, I did. I congratulated myself on my manipulation and thought that he would be fine. I was very wrong." he said with a pained expression.
"You should have thought about the repercussions before you did it, Edward. I'm surprised that Alice didn't have a vision." I said.
"I told her not to look." he said before calling Eric back in.
"Hello, Selena." Eric said sitting beside his father.
"Eric." I acknowledged.
"I'm so sorry!" we said at the same time, laughing and hugging.
"What I am wondering is why you doubted me." I asked.
"I don't know. It felt like I had false emotions, like Uncle Jasper was using his powers on me." Eric said turning to look at his father.
"What is it, Eric?" I asked.
"You didn't, did you?" Eric asked his father.
"Yes, I did." Edward said.
"Why?" Eric whispered.
"I don't know." Edward said ashamed.
"I don't know you anymore." Eric said turning away from his father and pulling me into a hug.
"I'm sorry, Eric." he said getting up and leaving.
"Eric?" I asked toughing his shoulder.
"Yes, sweetheart?" he asked in return.
"Do you believe me when I say that you are my lifemate and my singer?" I asked.
"Yea, I do. I love you, Selena Donovan. You are my heart and soul." he said with a smile.
"Good. Hey, do you want to go to my room and watch a movie?" I asked getting off Victor's piano bench.
"Y-Yea." he stammered.
I looked at him and the innocent look he had on his face, I couldn't help but laugh.
"What is so funny?" he asked.
"The look on your face." I said and walked towards the stairs.
"I see." he said running up the stairs behind me.
As we walked into my room something hit me from the side. I looked over to see Chase, a vampire I hadn't seen in a very long time, almost two hundred years to be exact. Chase was built much like my brothers and Victor. He had dyed hid dark hair blonde and it showed, he stared at me out of dark eyes and smiled.
"Why are you here, Chase?" I asked.
"I'm here to see you and your 'breed'." he sneered.
"His name is Eric." I growled back. I hated anyone calling him a breed. Like he was scum.
He laughed insanely. "Eric, is it? Well, it's nice to meet you, Eric." Chase said with a smirk.
"I will ask you again, Chase Michaels, why are you here?" I groaned as he put his knee in my stomach.
"I am here to take back what you stole." he whispered with a laughing tone.
"What did I steal from you, Chase?" I asked.
"My sanity. I loved you, Selena. You were everything to me and you left to be with Victor." he breathed.
"I had to go with him. He gave me life, he gave me his nanos. I am alive because of Victor. I will not go." I hissed.
"He took you from me! He stole you." he breathed.
"He did not. I chose Victor, Chase. You must live with that." I said looking at Eric.
"Look at me!" he yelled.
I looked at him suddenly worried for Eric's safety. I glanced at Eric and sent Victor a message. I knew that Chase couldn't hear me, and for that I was very thankful. I heard footsteps on the stairs and heard Ronan and Talon curse mentally as Victor told them not to come in.
"Who is out there?" Chase hissed.
"I don't know!" I breathed as his knee pushed deeper into my stomach just below my ribs.
"Selena, open the door!" Victor yelled.
"Help, me, Victor. Please!" I thought to him.
I felt the pressure shift from my stomach to my chest, just above my lungs. I felt my breath shorten and so did Chase. Eric saw it and tried to move but Chase hit him with something. I heard the door break down, but not before I felt a needle or something sharp stab me and I fell into an endless dark.
