Chapter 10
Mary-Lynette POV
"When did you guys get the insane idea to spend the long weekend in Vegas? You guys know how I hate the big city." I kept my gaze on Rowan and Jade. I knew that there was no way that Kestrel would ever budge on this decision; she was made for life in a large city. I on the other hand was made for the small towns.
"We thought that it would be a nice change for all of us. We've been in Briar Creek for over a year, we need a break." Rowan was completely calm while Jade started to bounce in her seat as we got closer to the city.
"We should go shopping! Or we could go introduce Mare to Thea and Blaise. I wonder what they're up to now." Jade kept on running ideas out for everyone. Knowing that I was going to have to go through this for them I leaned back in my seat and took one last look at the sky. No star gazing tonight then. Looking across the city all of the buildings were reaching towards the sky. Each one was higher than the next. There was no way that I could see the sky from down here.
We ended up going to the hotel first. It was extremely beautiful. Everything was so light and elegant. I had no doubt that they were using the money that Hunter had sent them. They were smart enough to make sure that he had a fake address to send the money to. We all knew what could happen if he found out about me and Mark.
"Try to cheer up Mare. One weekend with us in Vegas isn't going to kill you. We even have a surprise for you in the room." Jade was still bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet. Looking up at the check in desk I saw Kestrel and Rowan both turning their heads quickly towards us. It was clear that Jade wasn't supposed to say anything to me about it.
"I know a weekend wouldn't kill me, but we're talking about a long weekend." Forcing a smile on my face we both walked to the front desk. When we got there the employee was handing Kestrel the room keys and Rowan was signing some forms.
"One thing's for sure though." Rowan gave the guy back the forms and turned to us. "You're going to love the room that we have while we're here." Rowan grabbed her bag and started for the elevator. Jade and I followed but Kestrel stayed behind.
"You guys go ahead. I'm going to go and see what kind of trouble I can get into while it's still light out." Before any of us could say anything she turned around and left the lobby. We all ignored her and made our way to the room.
Our room was huge. The first thing that I did was go up to the huge window to look out. You could easily see the sky overtop of all the other buildings.
"We got the highest room that we could get. This way you won't feel like you're in Vegas all the time." Rowan walked up behind me and took in the scene for herself.
"Thank you." I whispered while I hugged her. It won't be as bad now at least.
We spent the next half an hour unpacking our things. Just as I finished zipping up my bag, my phone started to vibrate. I knew that Bunny would be texting asking about where I was spending my long weekend.
Don't be mad but . . . I sort of gave your number to Troy
My breathing stopped the moment that I read it. I was loosing feeling in my legs to the point where I fell on the bed. She can't be serious. Before I could send anything back my phone started to vibrate again and a new message appeared from Bunny.
You can still talk to guys. Besides, you need to start having some fun again
I knew that she was right, but it was harder now. It just felt weird to talk to guys outside of school. Ever since last summer I knew that I was completely different. I didn't know if I could really trust any guy after Jeremy tried to change me into a wolf. Bunny finally told me about her being a lamia when she figured out that the sisters were also lamia. That was an interesting conversation.
The sun was blazing on us as we walked ankle deep in the water. It was the end of summer and Bunny and I were spending our last day at the beach naturally the sisters came with us. It was the rare moment that Bunny and I we were completely alone.
"You know, I really like the Redfern sisters. It's too bad that there brother couldn't stay though." Bunny kicked some water up and we kept on walking.
"Yea, too bad." Lowering my head I struggled to keep myself in the present and not to start thinking about him.
"I wonder if he's like them." Bunny was now mumbling again.
"What do you mean like them?" Staring at her I saw her skin starting to turn crimson.
"You know them the best-other than Mark-right." She never turned to look at me again. She just kept her gaze on the beach before us.
"I think so . . . why?" There was reason behind what Bunny said. She was getting somewhere about this. I just had to get her to tell me.
"It's probably nothing." She finally turned to me. Her lips pulled into a smile and I could tell that she was forcing it.
"Just tell me." Her smile faltered when she realized that I wasn't going to let this go so easily.
"Fine." She breathed out the word like what she does when we're more active. "I don't think that they're normal."
"People say that I'm not normal all the time." I didn't know how she knew exactly but it was apparent that she was figuring out that they were vampires. I needed her to say it just to make sure.
"Mare there's something that you don't know about me. I'm not normal either and I think that you should stay away from the sisters for now."
"Why? There has to be a reason that you think this I mean, they've never done anything wrong."
"Don't get mad at me or anything like that, promise?" When I nodded my head she continued. "I think that they're vampires."
We were completely silent and still after that. She figured it out. Did she only tell me or did she tell others too? Should I tell her that I already know that?
When she just kept on staring at me I realized that she was taking in my response to hearing all of this. It wasn't what she was expecting from anyone that would hear that they were hanging out with vampires on a daily basis.
"Why would you think that?" Saying that really surprised her. Her eyes had widened as she now watched me even closer.
"Because I found out that I'm one." She looked at me head on. I thought that she wanted me to deny it or run away screaming or well something to that exact, but I couldn't. I've known this part about her before she did. If it wasn't for Rowan telling me I probably would've had a different response.
I didn't say anything to that at first. After a moment I caved and told her about everything. About who the sisters really were, about Jeremy, and about the blood ceremony that the five of us did. Finally I told her about Ash.
When I was done reliving the memory for now I found myself already texting a response to her.
I know that I can still talk to guys and I'm going to have some fun in Vegas with the sisters If Troy texts me than I'll text him back
The moment I sent the text I felt a little better. This will be one weekend where Ash won't be the main focus in my mind. With a slightly grin smile I got up to find one of the sisters to talk to. After several steps my phone vibrated again. Without hesitation this time I looked down to see the text.
I never would have expected a text like the one that I was now reading.
