Six Months Earlier part 2
Written By,
Vampire of the Bloody Rose.
Placing my keys down on the table next to the door I pulled off my shoes as I
called out Corny name, which was also strange, because normally he would come
to the front door to greet me with a kiss.
Sighing I started to walk through the house towards the living room where Corny must be, I was only guess, but the last time he did not meet me and he was not out with Kaye that where he was.
My stomach clenched and unclenched with worry.
As I walked around the corner and walked into the living room I breathed a sigh of relief, there he was sitting there on the couch with his head in his hands.
I stood in the entry way, thinking about what to say first. "Corny baby
I'm home."
Corny head shot up and looked towards where my voice came from.
A soft smile appeared on his face as he stood up.
"Welcome home Luis." Walking towards me wrapped his arms securely around my waist, and kissed me deeply.
I smirked as I kissed him back, this was the Corny I knew and loved, outgoing and fearless not the scared man I just saw a few moments ago sitting on the couch.
After he pulled away we stayed silent for a few minutes till Corny asked a question that made me think that he had too heads. "Luis, what do you think about adopting a child?"
My mouth open and closed a few times as I tried to come up with an answer
that sound half way sensible.
"Adopting a child? Corny are you feeling all right? You don't like children and nether do I really, so why in the world would we adopt one?"
Corny shrugged his shoulders as he went back to the couch and sat down myself following him and sitting down next to him.
"Well, I saw something on the news about it and it made me curious, so I checked out
the website for kicks, and I found a girl that I think would fit perfectly with us."
As he spoke all I could think about was Corny and my siblings and how bad we
had screwed up with them.
I swore I would never let Corny talking me into adopting; I will not let another innocent child die because they got sucked into our world.
The world of the fey is extremely dangerous, one minute you could be walking down the street minding your own business and the next minute you could be screaming bloody murder because your beautiful hair is now full of snakes.
Unless that child had been exposed to the fey, I would most defiantly not even think about it.
"No Corny. I will not adopt a child and that is final."
"Just look at the picture of her Luis, please."
I sighed but nodded my head. Corny turned on the computer and showed me her picture and
bio.
And she was exactly what I thought she was, an innocent.
"No."
Corny tried to reason with me but I turned a def ear to it. When Corny, said it
could be a way for us to move past them.
I just lost it; I stood up so fast I am surprised I did not hit the ceiling.
"MOVE PAST THEM CORNY! MOVE PAST THEM? IT WAS BECAUSE OF US THEY DIED!
IT WAS BECAUSE WE DRAGGED THEM INTO THIS WORLD! THIS WORLD IS NOT SAFE FOR
THE INNOCENT; SHE WILL END UP JUST LIKE THEM CORNY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT
MEANS CORNY? SHE WILL DIE! IF WE LET HER INTO OUR WORLD SHE WILL DIE! AND
DON'T SAY WE WILL HIDE IT FROM HER; THERE IS NO HIDING WHAT WE KNOW OR WHAT
WE DO! IT'S OUR LIFE; OUR LIFE IS CONTROLLED BY THE FEY! AND NOT EVERYONE
LISTENS TO KAYE OR HER BOYFRIEND ROIBEN!"
In a low dark tone I said, "Read my lips. If you ever bring up adoption again, we are through."
I immediately regretted saying it, but right now I was too angry to apologize.
With that I ran back down the hall way quickly put my shoes on grabbed my keys and ran out into the night not caring where I went or who found me.
This chapter is short I know, I'll have a new one up as soon as possible. I have some bad news.
My co-writer left last year. She never even said a word. I am hoping she just is unable to access a computer right now and that she is okay.
Even is that isn't the case, it's okay. I'd like to thank her for her work on this wonderful story.
And I will continue the story as best I can. Thank you.
