Chapter Seventeen

Carolyn's sleep had been filled with images of Aurora and it was making her want to weep in her sleep. She was thankful when she woke up and her mind could focus on things that weren't Aurora's face. It was too difficult to try and forget Aurora though. Carolyn knew that she had never really stopped crying but she had never really begun. It was the tears that never really seemed to fall but you could feel them in your eyes. Carolyn let herself rise from the bed and as soon as she stood up Andy was standing next to her. He pulled her into a comforting hug and that was when her tears finally fell.

"I can't believe she's gone" Carolyn wept. She could feel Andy nodding and she knew that he was thinking the exact same as she was.

"We'll be ok though" Andy soothed but it sounded more like he was asking her. Andy had been shaken up from Aurora's death and he couldn't help but imagine how awful it must be for Jake. Just then the door cracked open and Jake walked in with tear stained cheeks.

"I heard you crying" Jake said to Carolyn and she nodded. Jake instantly covered her with a hug and looked like he was holding on for dear life.

"We'll all be ok" Carolyn mumbled and Jake nodded as he let more tears slip from his eyes. He pulled away from her and sent her a kind smile.

"I'm going to go and find Aurora's sister" Jake sighed. Carolyn nodded as Jake walked out. As soon as the door was shut Jake buried his head in his hands. He had only known Aurora for a few days but they had made a connection straight away. She had saved Carolyn's life twice and Jake was thankful. He shook his head and made his way out of the old house. He shut the door softly and made his way down the dirt path. When he started seeing drunks he knew it wouldn't be long until he met with Virtue. He began to walk up Lordville Road when he saw a woman who looked like Aurora. Jake stopped and looked at her. She flashed him a funny look but stopped as well.

"Can I help you?" She asked. She even had a voice that was almost exactly like Aurora's and Jake was pretty sure that the person standing in front of him was Aurora's sister.

"Is your name Virtue?" Jake asked. The girl looked taken a back and was obviously shocked by someone knowing her name.

"Yes it is" She answered. Jake began to play with his hands in a nervous way when he realised that he would have to give her the bad news.

"Your sister has been at my house for the past few days" Jake informed her. Virtue looked relieved when she realised that her sister hadn't went missing. It made Jake feel even worse than he already felt since he knew he would have to bring her mood down again.

"That's great" She said as she smiled and Jake could see her fangs.

"I know you're a vampire as well" Jake told her. She looked a little more shocked and then relieved when she realised that she wouldn't have to try and explain things using a lie.

"How do you know?" She asked in a bewildered tone.

"I'm a vampire too and I've been going out with Aurora" Jake informed her. Virtue nodded in a satisfied manner.

"What did you need to find me for?" She asked and Jake instantly started feeling a little bit sick. He didn't know how to word it so he decided to just come straight out with it.

"Aurora died yesterday" He blurted. Virtue didn't look as though she didn't believe him instead she looked as though she had been expecting this for a while.

"There was a treaty between the originals and us but she never listened and she was set on ending the original race" Virtue explained. Jake nodded as he let one of the tears fall from his own eyes.

"Aurora asked me to look after you so I've come to take you back to my own house" Jake said. Virtue didn't look like she minded since it was pretty obvious that this place was the shithole of the area. She nodded and started walking in the direction that Jake had just come.

"Do you live with anyone else?" Virtue asked. Jake looked down at her but carried on walking.

"I live with two other vampires called Carolyn and Andy. Carolyn owns the house and she's going out with Andy" Jake explained. He was giving the little history of their family before she arrived at the house so things wouldn't be overwhelming.

"Did you love Aurora?" She asked. Jake had been worrying about that little bit for the whole day. He knew the answer but he was afraid to admit it. He knew that it would be better for him if he admitted it so he just came right out and said it.

"I did love her" Jake answered. Virtue nodded knowingly and Jake could tell that she was pained about something.

"I've been in love before" She admitted. Jake looked at her shocked. She didn't look like she could be in love.

"You look to young to fall in love" Jake voiced. Virtue made a face of fake hurt and then grinned as she shook her head in an adamant way just like Aurora would do.

"I was turned when I was nineteen" She sighed. Jake was now the one to nod knowingly. He had fallen in love when he was eighteen and when he was twenty he got engaged but then he was turned.

"I'm sorry" Jake sighed as he planted his arm on her shoulder in a comforting way. Virtue looked up and grinned at him and that was when Jake realised that she was the easy going sister of the two. They reached the woods and Jake could see the sword which marked her grave.

"Is that where she's buried?" Virtue asked and all Jake could do was nod. She pulled away from his as she ran over to the sword. When she got there she dropped to her knees and stroked the ground. Her sister was gone and she had no family left.

"Are you ok?" Jake asked. She nodded and went straight back to looking at the ground.

"I love you Aurora" She sighed before standing up again and leaving the place where her sister was buried. Jake took her hand and the next time he looked at her she was crying softly. Jake stopped her and made her face him. He wrapped his arms round her and let her weep on his shoulder. After about five minutes she was done and they were walking up the little hill. Soon Jake pushed open the door and Virtue was taking her first steps into her new home. Jake could tell that she was overwhelmed by it but when Carolyn and Andy came in she managed to calm herself down so she could have a conversation with the two.

"Hello" Carolyn greeted. Virtue smiled at her and held her hand out which Carolyn shook in a welcoming way.

"Hi, I'm Virtue and you must be Carolyn" Virtue said and when she turned around to face Andy she spoke again. "And you're Andy"

"Nice to meet you" He sighed as he shook her hand like Carolyn did to Virtue. Virtue was smiling again and it seemed like she had forgotten to be sad about the death of her sister.

"I'm sorry to hear about your loss" Carolyn mumbled. Virtue smiled again to show Carolyn that she didn't need to be sad about it.

"I'm ok. Being a vampire makes you constantly apart of death so I'm used to the feeling now" She explained. Carolyn allowed her tears to fall and Virtue clung onto her to try and stop her from crying.

"I'm so sorry about everything" Carolyn wept. Virtue patted her hair down as it was sticking up in all directions.

"I'm guessing that you're a new vampire?" Virtue asked. Carolyn pulled away from her and smiled.

"Yeah I am" She laughed. Virtue sighed and patted Carolyn on the back.

"Is it ok for me to live here?" Virtue asked. Carolyn almost laughed again but managed to hold it in since she knew that Virtue wouldn't know that she welcome everyone into her home.

"Of course it's ok" Carolyn sighed as she started getting some bed sheets out of the cupboard under the stairs.

"I'll help you sort the bed out" Andy said. He was beginning to walk upstairs but Carolyn lingered a while so she could tell Virtue something.

"Make yourself comfortable" Carolyn said as she pointed towards the sofa and then disappeared up the stairs with Andy. They went to the bedroom opposite Jake's and made the bed for her. Carolyn went to her own room and came back with some posters. She always had to decorate every room with posters. She pinned up some Avenged Sevenfold posters up and some Bullet for my Valentine posters. When they were done the room looked a lot like Carolyn's did. She looked around and was obviously satisfied with what she's done. She decided to return downstairs and ask Virtue to take a look in case she wanted to change any part of it. She went downstairs to see Virtue sitting on the sofa staring at the blank television screen. When she heard Carolyn's footsteps her head snapped around and she smiled.

"That was quick" She laughed. Carolyn couldn't help but smile when she thought about her handiwork.

"Do you want to see it?" Carolyn asked. Virtue practically jumped from the sofa and was jogging up the stairs with Carolyn hot on her trail. When they reached to room Virtue stopped moving quickly as she stared at the walls. Carolyn was beginning to get worried and her mind was filled with negative thoughts. She was scared in case Virtue didn't like it but when Virtue turned around and grinned Carolyn began to relax a little. Virtue almost attacked Carolyn in a hug as she smiled brightly again. For finding out your sister had just died Virtue was taking it very well.

"I love it" She laughed. Carolyn hugged back and then pulled away as she took a moment to admire what she had done with the room.

"I'm glad you like it" Carolyn finally sighed. Virtue took a step in as she giggled at the background for her computer. It was an image of Max Green and it was pretty obvious that she had a little bit of a crush on him.

"I'm going to have a lie down so I can think everything through" Virtue sighed. Carolyn nodded knowingly since she was feeling tired as well. She watched as Virtue slid into her new bed and then she left and shut the door. When Carolyn turned around Andy was standing behind her. He took her hand and led her to their room. When they got in he shut the door and let his lips attack hers. When he pulled away he was breathing hard.

"I've been waiting to do that to you all day" Andy sighed as Carolyn giggled. She pressed her lips back to his and wrapped her arms around his waist. He backed her towards the wall and took over. She didn't mind though, she was just so glad that she was this close with Andy.

"Let's go to bed" Carolyn said in a teasing way as she walked away from him and lay down. He rolled his eyes in a friendly way and slid in next to her. He pulled her closer and let her head rest on his chest. She wanted to kiss him one last time but she couldn't be bothered to reach all the way up to his lips so she just kissed his chest.

"I love you" He mumbled but Carolyn didn't hear since she had fallen asleep as soon as she kissed his chest.
