Chapter 10:

||Melissa's POV||: I turn bright pink and ask excitedly, "Really? How?"

Alex explains, "Choose what kind of magical being that you would want to be," She then drops a huge book right from the height of my head down to my lap. It gave a huge slam sound, which hurt my thigh. Tears begin to fill of pain as I squint my eyelids shut from huge pang.

She continues, "These are the ones that can be reliable to you! Something that you would like!"

I open the book and Max comments, "Ok, ew DO NOT BE A LEPRECHAUN. As much as I think leprechauns are cool, but I don't want to be dating a shorty!"

I laugh and tousle his hair. Then, I hear Harper come up the stairs, suggesting, "I think you should be a fairy! You have the body type for it and I bet you would look super cute in those little dress outfits! I can make you one so you can match with me!"

I look at her and smile awkwardly. I then say, "But fairies are just too girly for me!"

Harper shoots me a look of disbelief and smirks, "Fine! Then don't be one!"

Juliet explains, "However, there are three types of fairies— tooth fairies, regular fairies, and power fairies." I nod my head and say, "Well maybe power fairies are good for me!"

Alex shakes her head and said, "No, that'll just break the friendship between the two of us! Either or, power fairies are just as girly and weird as the normal ones!" Max says, "And you have to go through years of training although! We will never have time to see each other if you become one!"

Justin then adds, "How about you be a mermaid? I've always wanted to be friends with a mermaid."

"Oh that seems awesome!" I say, "I'll think about it. I wanna see if there are any other options."

I keep flipping through the pages. I then realize that mermaid doesn't let you fly. A fairy does, but you either have to go through much training or be girly, which is the total opposite of me.

I want something where I can be dependent of and that I'm proud to be! I don't want something that changes my whole point of view or the whole... Me!

I didn't even discuss this with Alexandria or Ian!

"Look," I say, "This is great and all but I need to discuss this with my family! To let them know. Besides, it'll give me more time to think!"

They all nod head and say, "Ok!" Juliet adds, "Just give us the results tonight at the family dinner!"

"Ok!" Was all I could say. Max then asks, "Hey, can I now spend time with her?" Justin answers, "Go ahead, crazy lovebirds!" I giggle and Max takes my hand.

Justin waves his wand and recites, "Reverse the spell don't make me scream and yell!" Max and I then opened the door and left.

Max went down for his shift and put on an apron. He asked, "Do you wanna help?" I nod my head. I take an apron and wrap it around. Max hands me a notepad and said, "Take orders, can you?" I nod my head and begin to wait tables. Meanwhile, he made the sandwiches and I would hand it to the person. After, I left and walked home. That was actually pretty...fun!

All of a sudden, as I walk, Holly decides to swoop in. She lands right in front of me in a quick motion, landing perfectly on her feet. She exclaimed, "I heard you're going to be a magical being!"

I nod my head and say, "Yeah! Now, I thought you were gonna stop eavesdropping and surprising us like this ninja style!"

"It's not me," She complains, "Blame my vampire senses!" I blush, just thinking of Max. Holly comments, "Aww! You guys are just so cute together! It's like you two never give up on each other, staying together forever!" Again, she read my mind.

Holly's eyes turn red and spreads her wings. She then suggested, "Hey, what if you became a vampire?"

I think about it for a minute and say, "Vampire it is!" Because to be honest, it seems pretty cool and a vampire has wings so why not?

I then checked my watch and it is almost 8, which is the time of the family dinner. I asked Holly, "But who will... Bite me?"

Wow, I think, That was something I never thought I would ask!

Holly shrugs and says, "Well I'm not because number one, you're my best friend and it would be very awkward for a best friend to be all up in your neck! Second, I don't have a reason, I just don't want to bite you."

She smiles and shows her fangs. It's not really that big as I thought it would be but it's insanely trenchant and keen! It almost looks so tv-like!

I would try to touch it but that'd just be weird. I just comment, "Woah, those are cool..." I'm literally blown away. I couldn't wait to have those, that's if I have permission to!

I continued walking home and freshened up. I asked Ian about the family dinner. That, he approved, but once I told him about becoming a vampire, he immediately stopped what he was doing at that second.

"What?" He asks, "Are you out of your mind, Melissa? Melissa, this is dangerous and not just to yourself but what if you get.. You know, fangs up on our necks? That's just nasty and it's just cold-hearted to turn your family members into one!"

I then start to stutter and feel embarrassed, especially with the fact that Alexandria is hiding behind the staircase.

I say, "I'm not! I have enough blood from... Holly!" She then swoops in through the window, breaking a vase. She says, "Oh...sorry.. But Yes, i have enough blood for Melissa! I will provide her all the blood she will need and no harm will be done on others!"

I nod my head in agreement. I shake it so hard that my neck feels like breaking!

Ian sighs and paces around, scratching the back of his head. He then asks, "Why do you even want to do this?" I then start to explain this whole complicated predicament.

He stops walking and turns his head to him. He said, "Really?" I nod my head, beginning to get scared.

||Ian's POV||: I shake my head and look into Melissa's eyes. I've raised her ever since she was 4, when Mom died and Dad disappeared. That makes it 13 years of me raising her with Alexandria. Grandma also helped a little but she's mostly gone now.

She's disintegrated in ashes now in the jar on the top shelf, above of the fireplace. She gave us a good amount of money that could go on for this year.

Melissa's eyes tell truth and that she really wants this. I am anxious to say no but also kinda feel bad, since I disapproved her last two relationships.

I sigh and just didn't want to say it but I did, "Okay fine! But no blood-drinking of us, no bringing pesky animals home, and nothing disgusting that involves us!"

She jumps up in a squeal and runs to hug me tight. I chuckle and hear her say, "Thanks, big brother! Really, for everything."

She then grabs her purse and begins to leave. I say, "Just text me when you're coming home or if you're staying there!" She nods her head and gives me a small kiss on the cheek.

"Bye! Thanks, brother!" She waves at me and closes the door.

Alexandria stands next to me and friendly nudges me on the arm. She said, "You did a good thing!" I shrug and mumble, "Shut up."

It's kinda embarrassing to be the softie for once! I'm usual the strong, strict one, who always strategizes. I then went back to my office work and Alexandria walks upstairs.

Author's note: There's only two more chapters left! R&R please! Thanks (:
