Hey everybody sorry for the long wait v.v I've been busy with work a lot and trying to catch up on sleep whenever i can. But i finally finished chapter 6 ^.^ I'll be starting my next chapter in a few days and hopefully I'll be able to finish that on the same day. I'm going to try really hard for those who love to read my story.
There is one thing i MUST mention before you read the story. In Chapter 4 i mentioned a guy named "Mathew David" otherwise known as "Mattie" But in Chapter 5 "Mattie" disappeared and "Jacob" appeared out of nowhere. I am sorry for the confusion. "Jacob" is in fact supposed to be "Mattie". I mixed up the named because "Jacob" was originally supposed to be the name of the character but i changed it last minute to "Mattie"
Well i Hope you enjoy this chapter ^.^ sorry for the mix up and confusion ^,^; Please Review ^.^
On the way home it felt just like how it was 10 years ago when Kailey, Mathew and I would walk home after gradeschool ended. It would be a lie to say i didn't miss this, but things have changed between us. We aren't going home to see mother and Derek in the kitchen making snacks for us. We're going home to our adopted family. I sighed, i wonder what Lucian will think of Mattie. Will he accept Mattie and let him come back after? Lucian was always protective over Kailey and me. He wouldn't trust any of the guys we would bring home with us and he wouldn't let them come back. I understand where he's coming from though. We are his resonsibility that he took on by himself, i just wish he would give us some free space to be able to go out and have fun every once in a while.
"Don't you think Lyla?" I looked up in confusion, being so focused on my own thoughts i wasn't paying attention to the conversation.
"Sorry what did you say?"
"I was explaining to Kailey how our first period teacher is a pain in the neck"
"Oh, yeah he can be but so long as you don't fall asleep in class he's easy to get along with. It's only because a certain someone decides to talk in his sleep that he gets caught and sent to the office all the time"
Kailey and I laughed while Mattie blushed a little. "It's not my fault! I have important business I have to take care of at night" . I smirked.
"Mattie, i don't think staying up late playing video games count as important business"
"I don't play video games all night thank you very much!" Mattie yelled then started walking a little faster. When he got to the end of the street he looked around and then back at us. "Uh.. where do you guys live anyways?" Kailey and I laughed again.
"We live just a few more blocks this way" Kailey said with a smile. I'm thankful she answered it because even i get lost in this city.
When we finally arrived at our house I stopped infront of the door and turned around to look at Mattie. "I'm going to warn you now, our family is an adopted family. Lucian is the person who took responsibility and took us in when we had no place to go and Dakota is his girlfriend. Just don't take offence if Lucian is rude or anything, it's mainly Kailey's and my fault that he acts like this now"
"Speak for yourself, you're the one who tied his bed sheets to the bed and bleached his white clothes pink!" Kailey defended herself and i laughed.
"The clothes were by complete accident though. All his whites were together and there was just one red sock in the clothes when i threw them in the wash. As for the bed sheets, I was trying to buy us time to escape before he found out about the clothes" Kailey sighed.
"You always bring me into trouble that you caused".
"Oh come on, you have to admit it's funny seeing his reaction"
"Well, yeah.."
"Um, do you guys always act like this when it comes to your 'family' ?" Mathew asked a bit concerned. I smiled.
"Yeah but it's just how we are. I didn't trust Lucian in the beginning but now its just fun. Now, are you ready to go in and see?" Mathew looked a little more worried then he should be but i ignored it and opened the door.
"We're back!" I said as i walked into the house.
"Welcome back you two, would you like something to eat?" Dakota yelled from the kitchen.
"I'm alright but we brought a friend over so is it possible to eat something in Kailey's room?"
"You brought a friend home?" Lucian interrupted us as he walked into the hallway. Mattie shuddered a little and moved back a step.
"What's wrong Mattie?" Kailey asked a little worried.
"N-Nothing" Mattie cleared his throat and started to speak again. "Hello, my name is Mathew David. I'm an old friend of Lyla and Kailey. Thank you very much for taking care of them when they had no where else to go" Lucian lifted his eyebrow.
"How do you know about our situation?" Lucian turned to look at me. I tried my best to pull off an angelic smile but he saw right through it. "I see we have a lot of things to talk about today, don't we Lyla?" I hung my head and sighed in defeat.
"Yes brother.. Kailey i'll meet you guys when we're done" Kailey looked at me with concern in her eyes.
"Are you sure? You'll be okay, right?" I nodded. "Then Mattie, follow me up to my room for now, we can play videogames while we wait" Mattie followed Kailey up the stair but gave me one last look to confirm that i'll be alright. I nodded with a smile and he left.
"Now, where should we start with our talk? Should it be with how he knows of you two, even after changing your last name? Or how about how he knows about your current situation?" Lucian said while sitting down in a chair looking at me.
"Well, there is a lot i need to know but i guess if i want information, i'll have to give information first. See the thing is, Mattie noticed me right away as soon as i walked into class and was introduced to everyone. At first i tried to ignore him and tell him he has the wrong person but he wouldn't drop it and continued to ask me if i was lying so i told him that you adopted Kailey and me after our family died in a house fire. That is all."
Lucian raised his eyebrow at me. "You are sure that is all you said?" I laughed.
"Yes Lucian, 'cause you know, I'll openly tell him how my family was murdered infront of Kailey's and my eyes by blood sucking vampires" He sighed.
"Well I guess thats true. Anyways what was it you wanted to talk to me about today?"
"I saw down in a chair and looked straight at him. "I need to know the truth"
"The truth about what?"
"Why did you save us back then? What was the reason for the vampire attacking my family?
Lucian sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Why would you need to know all that information? Unless something happened?"
I gave him a dirty look. "Don't try avoiding the subject, I'm determined to get the answers this time." Lucian smiled mockingly.
"And what if i don't give you any answers?"
I growled lightly. "Then I will go and get them elsewhere" I stood up to leave but stopped when i heard Lucian laugh.
"Well, isn't someone acting like a tough girl. Alright, I'll answer you're questions. But you won't like the answers" I sat down and listened to him tell me about how he was helping my father just before he died. My father made him promise that if anything where to happen to him and he was unable to protect Kailey and me, that Lucian would take care of us and protect us from what will happen in the future. Lucian had also told me how my father died while he was hunting a werewolf.
"Alright so does that mean you have been lying to us all these years? About us being normal? Or how you just saved us out of nowhere and were being kindhearted when it was just your job?"
Lucian sighed. "You know i hate it when you assume things and ask too many questions"
I stood up, angry at him for avoiding the questions again. This gave me my answer. He lied to us for years! I started to walk away but Lucian grabbed my wrist. "Where are you going?"
I moved my wrist to get him to let go. "Away from here" His grip got tighter, it started to hurt.
"You can't leave here. I have to protect you from those vampires, what if they go after you tonight?" I started to get really mad. I could feel it in my body. One wrong move and i was going to hit him. I looked up at him with a cold stare.
"I don't care if they are vampires! They at least told me the truth without avoiding any questions!" Lucian stared at me with a scared expression on his face. He let go of my wrist.
"So this was the prophecy that was spoken of. The vampires will go after the girl with the hidden red eyes. I never understood what it meant until now. Lyla, listen to me-"
"No! Lucian, you listen to me! You lied to us and you expect me to give you the same respect and trust i had for you before? I'm leaving!"
"And where will you be going?" He said with a smile.
"I don't know! Maybe i'll go sleep in the park for tonight!" And with that i left. I ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door. I opened my closet and grabbed my bag and packed as much as i possibly could. Just as i opened my door i saw Kailey and Mattie standing infront of it with confused expressions on their faces.
"What?"
"Lyla, your eyes, they're red!" Kailey said in a trembling voice. I turned around, went back into my room and looked in the mirror. An expression between shock and horror appeared on my face as i realized that I not only let Lucian see my eyes, but also Kailey and Mattie. I turned around at looked at Kailey and Mattie once again.
"I-I can't help it. They change colour whenever i'm angry. I-I'm sorry, I have to go." Tears started to fall down my face as i ran past them and ran down the stairs. I just had to get out the front door. Just as i was about to reach the front door, Lucian called out to me once more.
"If you leave and they find you, I'll hunt them down and kill them infront of you. I hope you'll remember that Lyla." Tears continued to fall down my face as his words echoed in my ears. I ran out of the house and into the dark streets. That night i vowed i would never return to that place. I stopped at a nereby park and sat on the swings.
"I can't trust anybody, I have nobody now"
"Whats wrong my little kitten? Are you lost?"
I looked up to see who was talking to me but everything was blurry because of the tears. "W-Who's there?"
"The one you have been waiting for princess, I'm here to save you from this miserable place. Take my hand and you'll see the light in the darkness" He offered his hand out to me. I took his hand and followed him into the night.
