Later I woke up in a light blue room under blankets that smelled of lavender. I then realized that I was in Jake's room. I was looking around and saw Jake sitting beside the bed holding a cup of coffee. When he saw I was awake he kissed my forehead. "How long was I out?" I asked him. He told me I had only been out for a couple hours. I could tell he was worried but he's never admit it to me. I told him I was hungry so he went and got me something to eat.
While he was gone Blake walked by and saw I was awake so he came in and asked how I was feeling. I told him I felt okay. I tried to sit up but he held me down saying I should wait and talk to Jake before I started moving around too much.
I waited until Jake came back with food and he helped me sit up. "how bad is it?" I asked him. He said it had just barely missed the bone. I was thinking about it but why didn't I hear him. I couldn't move for the rest of the day just to be safe. That night I was back in my own bed but the nightmares were back. I screamed so loud that everybody but Tia and Mia woke up because they are such heavy sleepers. Once they all assured I. Was safe they all left. Jake stayed and comforted me me until I fell asleep.
NEXT MORNING
The next morning we had meat omelettes for breakfast. I was bringing in the newspaper when I saw the headline. "VAMPIRE ASSUMED DEAD IS FOUND!" I looked at the picture that went with the headline. It was my dad!
I showed the paper to everybody and they all got ready and we went to the school to see if he was ok. When we got to the room he was staying in, we went in and all of us hugged him even Kaiden. He told us that he would have been here sooner but the humans drove them into the Greenwood Forest and they were all separated into three groups. "They killed everybody in my group. I kept myself alive by drinking blood of small animals that ran by me. They had shot my wing, so I wasn't able to fly. I never stopped hoping I would find you again." He told all of us.
"I have some bad news for you and Jake though. Tara your mom died next to me in battle. Jake both of your parents died from serious wounds to the head." He told Jake and I. I broke down and started to cry but Jake just knelt down beside me and held me.
When I was done crying we all decided that dad was going to live in one of the guest rooms until he got better.
When we got home I went for a walk and I ended up at my favorite place in the woods. I call it the grotto. It's this clearing with a spring that runs through it and a tree with branches that make a perfect seat. I sat in the tree sobbing and thinking about all the good times we had. It was getting dark when Jake found me in tree. He's the only person who I told about my secret place. He wrapped his arms around me, kissed my forehead and told me everything was going to be okay. I could tell he he had been crying by the sound of his voice. He would never admit to it though. We walked home together. at supper we had a discussion about what we wanted to hunt tomorrow. we decided on deer.
After that we all headed up to bed. I put on my Pink flannel Pjs and put my pink heart necklace on my dresser.
That night I was so worn out from crying that I didn't even dream.
