Kerry always loved the warmth of the sun. She loved how the sun could make the oddest things feel inviting. Like sand , which naturally feels coarse and ruff, would transform itself into a blanket of comfort when the sun illuminates it.
"Don't you just love how the sand feels in between your toes, Kerr?"
Kerry looks over at her, and smiles. Knowing her mother would always make remarks about how much she loved the sand.
"It's the best, Mom"
Kerry loved their beach outings together.
But lately they were few and far between with the new baby.
"Kerr , how do you like your baby brother?"
"Well his to small,and he cries a lot." Kerry bluntly puts it.
Her mother gives her an endearing smile, and wraps her arm around her. As they walk down the beach arm in arm, with the sun beaming in their face, her mother breaks the calm by asking Kerry a question.
"Can you promise me something?" Kerry looks up at her mom,slightly taken aback.
"Anything." she replies.
Kerry's mother stops and turns to Kerry, placing Kerry's hand in hers. She looks into Kerry eyes, and gives her the most loving expression."Promise me. That if anything ever happens to me you will take care of Ian for me." Kerry frowns making it very evident she doesn't like this topic of conversation.
"Why?"
"Are you leaving?"
Kerry mother looks out towards the waves, and smiles back at her. Instead of supplying her daughter with an answer she reaches out to pull a strand of hair off Kerry's face, and gives her a sigh.
"Come on baby girl, lets go, it's getting late."
Kerry takes a hold of her mother's hand as they begin to walk back towards the car, when she stumbles on some seaweed. She unravels the seaweed off her foot ,when her mother steps in to help her, and notices Kerry's bleeding.
"That's a nasty cut, lets take a look."
Kerry hops over to a dry patch and plops herself down. Waving her injured foot in the air, awaiting for her mother to attend to it.
"Lets see"
"Is it deep?" Kerry asks.
"Not really, your just a bleeder" her mother replies mockingly.
"Kerr did I ever tell you the story , your grandmother told me about our blood ?."
Kerry nods her head side to side, never recalling any such story.
"Well she said it was special, that it was unique?"
"Like O-Positive" Kerry replies.
Her mother laughs at her silliness.
"No, not really like that. More like it being different... stronger then most."
"How do you mean?"
"Well take a look" Kerry's mother pushes her foot back towards Kerry,and shows her the cut.
"Well...Where is it?" Kerry looks up at her confused.
"All gone Kerr" Her mothers swipes her hands against her dress, and gives Kerry a curious smirk.
Kerry, unsure of what just happened, begins to open her mouth to ask , when her mother cuts her off.
"Don't worry, Like I said, our blood, it's special."
Kerry's mom pulls her off the sand, and they continue their walk back towards their car.
Leaving traces of Kerry's blood behind.
"I thought you said she could be trusted" Sebastian roars at Gabriel.
"She betrayed you, set that animal free, and ran away with that scum." Gabriel remains silent as his father dishes out insult after insult.
"She's a liar. She will tell them everything."
"She won-" Gabriel begins to testify,when he is forcefully shut down.
"Don't you dare defend her" Sebastian snaps back, pointing his finger in Gabriel's face."You saw the surveillance yourself, she let that beast feed off her, and then helped her escaped."
Gabriel says nothing to his father accusations. Unsure what he can say, he has seen the footage of Kerry willingly giving her blood to a vampire. He has no way of defending such an act.
"Dylan" Sebastian calls out.
Dylan appears from behind the study doors.
"Yes, father"
"I want you, and the search teams, to locate Kerry and bring her back."
Dylan gives his father an obedient head nod, and looks over towards his brother. Trying to read some emotion, and sees the disappointment across his face. He hates it,seeing his brother like this. He knows how hard Gabriel has worked to gain respect within the coven, and for Kerry to betray him like this, is disgraceful.
"What about Gabriel?" Dylan asks.
Gabriel shoots Dylan a look of don't worry, I deserve this.
"Dylan, you will head the teams on your own." Sebastian tells him.
"Gabriel will stay here, in the mansion."
Both brothers look at each other displeased, but say nothing. As they begin to walk out of their father's study, Sebastian signals Dylan back. Asking him to shut the door behind him.
"So what do you think?" Sebastian asks Dylan.
"He doesn't know, dad"
"Are you sure?"
"Am positive."
"Gabe doesn't know, Kerry's the cure."
Michel looks floored by Kerry's confession. He reads her face to find traces of deceits, and sees nothing.
"How" he ask.
"My mother came to see me while I was studying in Paris, and told me." Kerry finds it strange to talk about this, she's never told a soul. Once she starts talking, it all comes spilling out of her. The night her mother came knocking on her door, rambling on about how she was being followed, and how she needed to warn her. That they were hunting her down, and needed her blood. Kerry speaks coldly about how her mother ask her to leave with her, and the address she provided her with before she shut the door in her face.
Kerry doesn't even notice the tears streaming down her face, till Michel wipes them away with his hand. He reacts surprisingly towards her with a hug. This affection breaks Kerry, and she cries uncontrollably.
"Am sorry "
"Its just I-I-I-" Kerry struggles to continue.
"Never told anyone" Michel finishes her sentence.
They take a moment and gaze at each other, holding each other in each others arms .When Kerry places her hand on his cheek Michel leans into her touch, and without thinking she Kerry kisses him. She pulls back after only seconds and they unlatch from each others grasp, just staring at each other.
Eric interrupts, as he walks in,with Violet in his arms.
"Michel we need to flush her system, shes convulsing."
Michel reacts quickly, and takes Violet into his arms,laying her on the steel island in the middle of the LAB. Michel works quickly connecting Violet to dialysis machine, that will pump her blood clean of all drugs.
"Do you know why vampires drink blood, Kerry?"
Kerry stands in the corner watching Michel and Eric work, when his question snaps her out of her own world.
"Ahh... no, I don't" Kerry stammers.
"Cause our own blood can't sustain hemoglobin." Kerry isn't sure why he choses to divulge this bit of information to her, when Eric snaps at Michel's confession.
"What are you doing, she doesn't need to know?" Eric argues.
"Did you forget what she did"
"Why Violet is laying here"
"She is responsible" Eric glares at Kerry.
"She had no choice" Michel states in her defense,when they both abruptly stop arguing.
Michel walks over to Kerry, grabs her arm and leads her towards Violet.
"Stay here Kerry, I have to go upstairs."
"Why" Kerry ask feeling like she just miss something.
"Because their home" Michel tells her.
"Who"
"The coven" Eric replies.
As Kerry stands alone in the LAB, overlooking Violet's unconscious body, she feels guilt set in. Kerry shuts her eyes to keep the tears from coming out, as she runs her hands through her hair, feeling like her head is about to explode, when she hears her.
"Kerry" she whisper gently.
Kerry eyes snap open as Violet's speaks. Kerry quickly comforts her by letting her know she is going to be okay. Unable to keep her emotions in check, Kerry begins to cry again.
"Why are you crying,Kerry"
Kerry doesn't reply, she just wipes the tears off her face, and looks down at her.
"Your afraid ,aren't you" Violet gently puts it.
"You should be Kerry, because you going to have to choose soon."
Tears continue to stream down Kerry's face, as she shakes her head confirming what she already knows.
"You can't have both, you never could, so who are you going to chose." Violet questions Kerry, in a soothing tone.
"You already know, Violet" Kerry finally response.
Violet smiles at her, knowing that she has seen her choice in her blood.
"You need to tell him, Kerry." Violet replies, as Kerry looks away.
Her eyes become soft for a moment, as she finds Kerry's gaze again.
"You need to tell Michel, Kerry"
"Tell him, you choose Gabriel."
Does Kerry really choose Gabriel?I am not so sure, what do you think?
