~Ch.5 Decisions Made~

I woke up with Mason still stroking my hair and Selexa was still paying attention to what Vlad was telling her. I looked up at Mason and he chuckled at me. I rubbed my eyes and I sat up on the couch in between Selexa and Mason. Henry and Vlad noticed me waking up and I wondered what they were talking about this time.

"Zara, it seems you're finally awake. Don't worry, you've only been out for a few hours," Vlad said to me as I was still trying to sit up.

"Okay…but who are those people that you've mentioned before?" I asked in major curiosity, which Henry and Vlad looked at one another at.

"Well, D'Ablo was a vampire and he tried to take my power because of it. I'm what people know me as the Pravus, and the Pravus can determine whether I enslave the human race out of necessity and out of charity. Eddie Poe was a journalist and he eventually got kicked out of Bathory High because he found out I was a vampire and he wanted me to turn him one himself, but Em already has. Em is the oldest vampire and she's the leader of the Council of Elders."

"Then…who's Diablo exactly?" I wondered aloud, since he was a vampire slayer.

"Diablo is a vampire and the child of D'Ablo, but I'm unsure of who the mother is. Anyway, I guess that he's learned the skills of a vampire slayer by possibly the mother and he's a vampire, and we're trying to destroy him out of existence. Do you have any more questions?"

"Yeah…Snow's your girlfriend?" I asked him with a wink that only he detected, which made him blush.

"Y-Yeah…she's my wife and she's a vampire as well as Henry is. She was once my drudge but once I released her, she almost died and I had to turn her into a vampire. I turned Henry into a vampire only because he asked me to. When I did, he wanted to visit you, since I've heard from him that you've had a bad lifestyle, am I correct?"

"Y-Yeah…my parents beat me out of being drunk, frustrated, or because they were just bored to do a damn thing… I guess the good thing for me is that they both have died and Henry's living with me now…"

"You haven't told October yet? You should have her live with you, and not let her wait back in Stokerton!"

"I-I was gonna, but I couldn't find the time to yet! But I'll gladly make a call and have her stay with the two of us, okay?" Henry gave in and brought out his cell phone to call October.

"Sorry, October's Henry's wife, and she's friends with Snow. Say…what happened at your neck, Zara?" Vlad asked me with concern, referring to my stitched up wound on my neck.

"Well…a couple of wolves attacked me and Mason, and then we met Yukki. She told me that we both had to choose either being a vampire or be a werewolf with her. She told me that there was a cure of not being a werewolf… What do you think I should do?" I asked Vlad, who was starting to think.

"I think…you two should remain as you are now, meaning that you would be a vampire and Mason would continue to be your drudge. It's impossible to be two things at once, you know? I would inform Yukki of this and find out the cure as soon as possible."

I nodded and I stood up from the couch, with Mason looking up at me. I told them about the woods nearby my house and Mason knew what I was talking about. I had Mason intertwined with my hand and we both left my house, and started walking toward the woods.

When we both walked in, we were immediately welcomed by two wolves. The charcoal black wolf that attacked me from before and a snow white wolf, which I already knew was Yukki. I saw the white wolf transform into Yukki, and she walked up to me and Mason, but only by a few feet. The black wolf stayed in its form, still unsure of whether to trust us or not.

"Have you decided yet, Zara and Mason?" Yukki asked us both, which I detected some hesitance in her voice.

"Yeah…I still want to stay a vampire, and Mason wants to stay a human…and my drudge. What's the cure?" I asked her, and when I told her this, I saw Yukki sigh with relief.

"I was actually hoping you were gonna stick with being the same as you were. I actually brought the potion with me, since that's the cure. Both of you drink this, and then the marks that have been left upon you will be instantly gone!"

Yukki gave me a blood red potion and gave Mason a beige colored potion. I took a deep breath and drank my entire potion, as did Mason. I lifted Mason's pant leg and gasped with relief that the marking left by the wolf that attacked him was gone. I saw Mason sigh with relief as well, which I immediately assumed that my mark was gone as well.

"If you need anything at all, you know where to find me, okay?" Yukki reassured us and we both nodded in agreement.

We soon saw the two wolves run off further into the forest and Mason and I soon got out of it. I felt Mason's hand intertwined with mine and he held me close. Without warning, I was soon lifted bridal style, and was resumed being carried all the way back to my house. I was soon brought back down to the ground when we both saw two girls in my living room.

One girl had black hair that ended at her shoulder blades and she had bangs that slightly hanged off her forehead, and she had hazel eyes. She wore a black tank top with black skinny jeans with Converse and wore a ring on her ring finger. She was fairly pale and beautifully flawless. I also noticed that she was wearing smoky eye shadow and lipstick to match. When I saw her walking to Henry and kissing him, I soon knew that she had to be October.

The other girl had white-blond hair that reached mid-way to her back and she had bangs that swayed one way, and she had icy blue eyes. She wore a different black tank top with black shorts and boots that reached to her knees and wore a ring on her finger as well. She was also pale, but I think she was even paler than October, and she was too flawless. I then again noticed that she was wearing dark eye shadow with luscious blood red lipstick. I immediately assumed that she was Snow.

"Henry, your niece is adorable!" October exclaimed, who went to hug me and I hugged back, in some confusion.

"Yeah, I know she is. Zara, this is October and October, this is Zara," Henry introduced us both, and we grinned at one another.

"She's unique alright…I wish she was my niece, though!" Snow pouted, causing me and Vlad to chuckle.

"Zara, this is Snow, as you've might've already guessed," Vlad introduced, and Snow first checked me out, and then hugged me.

"I'm guessing this is your boyfriend? He'd better treat you right; otherwise I'll kick his ass!" Snow exclaimed, causing Mason to jump slightly, but hold me close to him.

"Y-Yeah, he's treating me right," I defended him, and then I felt him kiss my cheek, making me blush.

"There's one more thing that you should know, Zara. We're gonna stay here with you until Diablo's finally gone. Along with anyone else that tries to harm you."

"A-Are you serious, Snow?"

She nodded and I was in shock. I thought I was going to have a peaceful life, but that soon got…better than I hoped it would be.
