So, this is a preview of the next chapter, and a new writing style I'm starting on. I can't say the full chapter will be up fast, but...thoughts?~Mermaid12108
"No." Deamon's gaze held mine, causing something deep down inside me to stir. I could see the beginning of a glow behind his eyes, but I didn't need that to tell me he was angry. Everyone seemed unsurprised by the way he reacted, which didn't shock me. He always had been protective of his family and his race, and I knew that would never change.
"Deamon—"
"I said no. They'll kill us all."
I sighed. "Fine."
He looked confused. "You're letting it go? Just like that?"
I nodded. "But don't get used to it, because it's never going to happen again."
This was one of the few times I'd seen Deamon shocked, and I had to admit I liked it. "Okay, then."
I nodded. "Okay." When Deamon turned away, Dee made kiss faces at me, and I had to admit I ind of wanted to punch her. Just a little bit. I settled for just sticking my tounge out at her. Immature, I know but it was the most appropriate of my ideas. I heard Adam try not to laugh, but Matthew just rolled his eyes, as if to say 'Children. How immature.' Of course, being who she was, Dee just grinned at me in response.
After waiting for everyone to leave, and then hanging out with Dee for a little while, I'd headed back to my house. The lights had been off in the Black's house for over and hour now, so I figured it was okay. The plan we had all decided on was to go after Ash and Andrew in the morning. It was now 1:00 in the morning, so that counted, right? I zipped my coat up and snuck down the stairs, trying to be as quiet as possible so I wouldn't wake my mother. I set a note on top of the sugar jar, knowing that she would go to get some to put in her coffee when she got up.
Mom, I dropped by the library before school. Don't worry about me, I'll get to school on time. See you when I get home.~Katy
Except I wasn't going to the library, or school. I was going somewhere much different. Where? Well, I had yet to figure that out myself. All I knew was that I had to save Ash and Andrew. Did I hate both of them? Very much so. But was I going to let them die? No. Adam didn't deserve to see the happen to his family. Plus, if he was happy then Dee was happy, and if Dee was happy Deamon was happy. Closing the door, I got into my car and started off to where I thought they would be, at least my first guess. I remembered Deamon saying something about the quartz in the mountains hiding the Luxen…could it do the same for Arum?
