Chapter Sixteen
As they walked down the hill the leaves crunched beneath their feet but other than that it was completely silent. Carolyn was holding Andy's hand and Jake had his arm around Aurora. It didn't look like much of a fighting pose but everyone was ready to protect the humans. As they neared to the woods where the park lay buried in it they got slightly more nervous. They walked into the woods and took a few steps in and the park was in sight. They could already hear the noises of the originals munching in something and it's pretty obvious what they were munching on. As they neared the park they separated from each other and soon Aurora was opening the gate as quietly as she could. As soon as her hand touched the gate the originals head shot up and they smirked. They practically threw the dead body to the floor as they found something new to play with.
"I thought you would be here" The one with bleached blond hair said. Aurora had to try and hide her disgust as she thought about an original even talking to her.
"You have to leave" Aurora shouted. Carolyn understood how hard it must be for her and Carolyn now wanted to make her proud.
"Why should we?" The one with pink hair spoke up. Jake's hands were shaking as he glared hard at each original. Carolyn wanted to calm him down but she didn't have any idea how she could possibly do that in a fight.
"We were here first and people have started to notice your killings so you need to leave before they figure it out" Aurora explained. The originals thought about this for some time before they all grinned at the same time.
"Why don't we just fight for it?" The blond one asked. Aurora smiled sweetly as she pulled the sword out from behind her as it made a fine line in the mud.
"We're already ready" She said in a voice that matched her smile. The originals grinned again as they pulled out similar daggers to what Jake, Andy and Carolyn had. They grinned one more time before nodding as a sign to say that the fight had begun. Aurora took a quick breath before her sword clacked to the blonde's. It made a sound that could probably deafen anyone normal. Carolyn had been busy watching Aurora that she hadn't noticed one of the ones who hadn't spoken run at her. She was just in time to lift her dagger up and protect her face but her stomach got slashed once. She grunted in pain but she was determined not to be dramatic. She turned quickly and let her dagger slam into the man's arm. He shouted as the burning sensation made itself known. Carolyn grinned to herself in pride and pulled her dagger out, dripping with blood. She knelt down slightly and quickly wiped it on the grass she brought it back up and it slammed into the man's chest. It hit his heart and Carolyn twisted. He screamed in agony and dropped to the floor. He was dead and no longer posed a threat.
"Well done" Jake laughed. Carolyn felt her pride and went to go join Andy where he was almost wrestling with the one with pink hair. It didn't take long for his morale to be dropping and for them to be winning the fight. When Andy was almost on top of him he pulled out his dagger and put it on the man's throat as he swiped it across and slit his throat. It was a lie that vampire's could only die from a stake to the heart. A vampire could die like a normal human but it would just be more difficult. The man who had his throat slit coughed about four times before he went still. Jake grunted loudly and Andy went over to help him fight the original. Jake was on the floor and the original was cutting him and it was beginning to not look good for him. Carolyn froze and simply stood watching. She couldn't even help him. She heard a shout but was unable to move to protect herself. Aurora had finished off the one that she was fighting with and jumped in front of Carolyn but just as she brought her sword up to kill the woman who was trying to harm Carolyn a knife was plunged into her. Aurora managed to finish off the original before she slid to the floor herself. Carolyn could move now. She ran over to the last original who was fighting with Jake and Andy and quickly put an end to his life. When Jake looked up he saw Aurora on the ground and he instantly got up. He ran to her side and held her hand as she coughed.
"Jake" She spluttered. A tear fell from his eyes and it fell on her cheek. She tried her best to smile up at him but it was so weak. Blood stained her cheeks and her clothes. It got worse as it got closer to her wound.
"We can fix this" Jake said as though it was possible. He ripped off part of his shirt and tried to wrap it around so he could stop the bleeding. Aurora held up a hand to stop him and he obeyed. She let a tear fall from her own eyes as she wrapped her arm around Jake's waist and pulled him closer to her. Jake ignored her though and pulled her onto his lap. Her coughing was stopping now and she knew it was almost her time to go.
"I love you Jake" She admitted. Jake's cheeks were marked with tears as he shook his head firmly and held onto her tighter.
"I love you too" He cried. He made her face him as he pressed his lips down to hers. She kissed back for about ten seconds before she pulled away and coughed again.
"Look after Carolyn and Andy" She told him. Jake looked up and let his tears fall again. He looked back down at Aurora and smiled warmly at her.
"Of course I will" Jake sighed. He wanted her to be quiet so she could be relaxed in her dying moments but it didn't look like she was going to be.
"I need you to find my sister. She's a vampire too and she lives near the pub where we met. Her name's Virtue. Please tell her what happened and take care of her" Aurora asked. Jake nodded. He knew he would find her on Lordville Road because that's the only place near the pub with houses. He nodded again and kissed Aurora's head.
"I love you so much" He said before she went limp and her eyes closed. Jake let more tears out as he let go of her and she fell to the floor.
"We need to burn the bodies" Andy said. Jake turned round to look at him and nodded. He wasn't going to let Aurora be burnt. She would be buried and she would be remembered. Jake stood up and went to a body and pulled it over to the wooden bench. He pulled out his lighter and set the bench alight. There was a small flame but it grew. He placed one of the bodies on it and the fire grew even more and every time they added another body the fire got a little bit bigger. Andy had picked Aurora up and was about to place her on it but Jake stopped him.
"We're burying Aurora in the woods" He informed. Andy nodded and handed Jake the body. They walked out of the park and made their way a little deeper into the woods until they reached a small clearing. Andy and Carolyn bent down and dug with their fingernails. They went quickly and soon there was a hole big enough to fit them all in. Jake jumped down and lay Aurora in it. They covered her in the soil again and stood her sword in the mud at the top. It looked like a real human grave.
"I love you Aurora" Carolyn whispered. Carolyn hadn't known her for very long but Aurora treat her like a little sister and Carolyn liked that. She felt like Aurora was the family waiting for her after her mother and father died but now she didn't have a family again.
"I'll miss you" Andy said to the grave. He had a small tear ready to fall and soon it did but when they turned to look at Jake his cheeks were covered in tears.
"Can I have some time alone with her?" He asked. Carolyn and Andy nodded and they made their way out of the woods but stayed where they could see him. "I'll miss you so much. You have to know how much I love you and I promise that I will look after Andy, Carolyn and your sister"
Jake turned away from the grave and took a few steps so he could see Carolyn and Andy again. He smiled at them and walked over to the. He took Carolyn's hand and they began to walk back to the house. Andy wasn't jealous of Jake because he knew that Jake was just feeling lonely and needed someone to be close to him again. Andy placed his hand on the small of Carolyn's back and soon they were walking back up the hill and they reached the house that Aurora was never going to enter again.
"Did Aurora say something to you about a vampire sister?" Andy asked with a questioning look written all over his face.
"She has a sister here that she wants me to look after" Jake explained. Carolyn nodded knowingly and she smiled up at Jake.
"She can live here with us" Carolyn said. Jake smiled brightly and kissed her cheek in thanks. He was looking forward to meeting Aurora's sister and he was secretly hoping that maybe she could be his replacement Aurora.
"What's she called?" Andy asked. Jake thought back to the conversation he had with Aurora before she died and remembered her name.
"It's Virtue" He answered. Andy grinned and Jake was confused. Andy turned to look at him and realised that he was going to have to explain his grin.
"They both have really unique names" Andy explained. Jake rolled his eyes in a friendly way and then smiled.
When they reached the house Carolyn yanked the door open and they all stood inside. It seemed so empty without Aurora being here and Carolyn felt like screaming in anger. Jake looked lost without Aurora and it made Carolyn even more angry. She didn't understand why all this was happening to Jake since he hadn't done anything to deserve it.
"I'm going to bed" Jake sighed. Carolyn nodded and kissed his cheek lightly. He held onto her a bit tighter than he needed to and Carolyn realised that he was scared to be alone again.
"Goodnight Jake" She sighed and Jake finally let go of her and pulled away. He attempted a smile before thundering up the stairs. The door shut quite loudly and then there was no sound at all. Carolyn moved over to where Andy stood and kissed him lightly.
"Promise me you won't ever leave me" Andy begged. Carolyn pulled away from him but still let her hands rest on his chest.
"I promise" She grinned before he pulled her back to his lips. She greeted them eagerly but she couldn't help but feel slightly guilty for enjoying something when Aurora had just died. Andy was feeling the same way so he pulled away from her and took her hand.
"Let's go to sleep" He said and Carolyn nodded eagerly. She wanted to close her eyes and escape reality forever but she knew it couldn't last for long. She walked up the stairs with Andy close to her and opened her bedroom door. Everything seemed to look a little different now that she knew that she would never see Aurora again. Carolyn didn't like the way things looked now. She lay on the bed and Andy slotted in next to her and wrapped his arm around her. She closed her eyes and let herself think of nothing at all. She felt into blackness and her mind was off Aurora.
Hope you enjoy this chapter. Sorry for killing Aurora! Please review.
