AN- Hey guys sorry about the wait... Ive been in Disney with the marching band since friday... im super tired! i just got back around 30 minutes ago. anyways hope you enjoy the chapter

disclaimer- I went to Disney what now SM what now?!?!?!?!?!?!

"Come on Zafrina!" Kachiri and I yelled. It was Senna and Humphrey's 25th anniversary and our present to them was one whole day alone at the house. The rest of us were going shopping at the closest mall, which just happened to be fifty miles away. Zafrina was taking her time making sure everything was all set for Senna and Humphrey. They would be back from hunting in a matter of minutes and we were supposed to be gone.

"I'm coming; I'm coming! Geez, Annabel, since when did you like to go shopping so much?" She teased.

"Kachiri bribed me with a lot of money." I grumbled, Zafrina's deep laugh rung through my ears. Kachiri knew my weakness. I liked having money on me for emergencies and I also wanted a new fast car. Even though there wasn't much use for a fast car in the Amazon I still wanted one, a very fast one.

We started running towards the mall, swinging from vines and jumping into creeks along the way. Even when we slowed near the small city, our laughs still rang in the air.

I taught Kachiri and Zafrina to resist the smell of blood. This made everyone a lot happier. We could go into the cities now and just hang out like normal girlfriends, or Humphrey could take Senna on real dates. We crossed the parking lot to the mall and walked in. Kachiri led us through the mall to all of her favorite stores. We tagged along, picking out what we liked. Zafrina got sick of shopping fast, but I got more into it considering I was getting well paid for going in the first place.

"Kachiri, we have to be able to get back to the house with all of these bags." Zafrina said, "I don't care what we are, we're still going to have to grow extra arms to be able to carry all of this." Zafrina and I were laden down with everything she wanted to try on plus all of the bags of things we bought at previous stores.

"This is the last store, I promise!" Kachiri called halfway across the store.

"You said that about the past three stores!" Zafrina screamed.

"Plus this is your favorite store!" I added in. She shrugged and kept shopping. Zafrina and I exchanged a longing glance at each other and then the door. Zafrina sighed and followed Kachiri, but I refused to shop any more. I longingly pictured being back at home joking around with Senna.

"Zafrina! I know you don't want to shop anymore, but please take the illusions of our house off of my vision." Kachiri screamed.

"I'm not doing anything!" Zafrina said defiantly. I stopped thinking about home and focused back on the present.

"What the hell just happened?" Kachiri asked. That was the last thing I heard before I dropped everything and ran. I knew I did something to Kachiri and I wasn't going to allow that to happen to my friends again. I ran as fast as I dared while still in civilization, but I soon as I hit the woods I was running as fast as vampirely possible. (Like my word? Haha)

I reached our home faster than I ever had before. Senna and Humphrey were downstairs lip locked. I rushed past them making no noise that they could notice; I ran into my room and started grabbing all of the belongings I had encompassed in the past five years. My shirts, pants, skirts, shoes, socks, accessories all fit into two suitcases. I grabbed the pile of cash that was stowed away under the couch in my room. I picked up the two suitcases and headed towards the door. Senna appeared followed immediately by Humphrey.

"Why are you leaving?" Senna pleaded, "Please don't go, we love you, please stay!"

"I can't, I might hurt you. I think I already hurt Kachiri. I have to get out of here. I'm not safe enough to be around any of you."

"You're hurting us by leaving not by staying here." Senna cried.

"I'm sorry, but I don't believe that. I'm sorry I ruined your anniversary." Humphrey took the whole thing rather well; he grabbed Senna around the waist to stop her from grabbing on my legs to prevent me from leaving. I thanked them and told them I loved them. Senna had fallen onto the floor. She wrapped her arms around herself, as if trying to hold herself together. The sad scene reminded of someone, but the memory was fuzzy. I shook it off.

"Tell Zafrina and Kachiri that I love them, and thanks for everything. I love you guys." I couldn't say good bye, so I just left. I ran into the United States and bought the fastest car I could find. It was a blood red 2009 corvette.(AN-pretty and fast haha) I had accumulated enough money from about twenty years of work because I never really had to spend any of it. I drove as far away from the Amazon as I could. I only stopped for gas. The sun rose and fell two times by the time I reached a destination I was happy with. Alaska.

AN- so did you guys enjoy the chapter????? i hope so let me know in a review!

Keep smiling
