"Hey. So where did you-…Troy?" He had just opened the door, and was currently staring at her, which was a little unsettling for Gabriella.

Troy rushed over to her and picked her up in his arms. Hugging her tightly, and thanking god that he told Elijah to stay at home. Gabriella reacted slowly, confused at his actions. "Gabi." He whispered into her hair.

"Is something wrong?" She didn't sound scared, only confused. And it made him hug her closer. He slowly let her back down, staring at her with a tiny little grin, but turmoil showed in his eyes.

He could feel his heart beating so fast. And when her hand slid down his shoulder to his heart, she felt it too. She looked up at him with concerned eyes. "I need to tell you something."

She nodded her head. But then she saw the tear in his shirt. She looked closer and saw dirt…and blood. She took a step back and saw that there was blood spattered all over him. "Oh my god, Troy, what happened? Are you hurt?" She stated leading him to the bathroom.

"No. I'm fine." But his words didn't stop her from grabbing a washcloth, turning the water on, taking his shirt off, and dabbing at the two cuts on his chest.

He watched her amused as she mumbled to herself about how stupid and reckless he was to get hurt. "What the hell happened to you?" He noticed that she didn't comment about the fact that most of the blood on him wasn't his.

He grabbed her hand that was working on cleaning him up. "Gabi, I need to talk to you."

"Fine, but it better make sense." She pouted as she reluctantly stopped cleaning his cuts. Troy resisted the urge to kiss her. He had to tell her something very important.

He took a breath. "Okay." He took another breath. "Thousands of years ago, a war started. And it hasn't ended…The vampires against the werewolves. It's always been that way, and so many have died, on both sides. But a seer made a prophesy. He said that one day; there would be…a girl. A girl more beautiful than any other creature on earth…And she would-"

Gabriella cut him off. "Why are you telling me this?" She understood why he would tell her the first part, but she had a bad feeling about where he was leading to.

Troy looked pained for a moment, like he was about to hurt her. He gently cupped her face with his hands. "It's you, Gabi." At her blank expression, he continued, "You're going to save the world."

After almost a minute, Gabriella still hadn't said anything. She was just staring at him. "You better be joking."

He let out a tiny chuckled sigh at her deadpan voice. "I really didn't want to get you involved…But I have to protect you, and for me to do that, you have to know the truth."

"Troy. I can't save the world. I can't even lift a table…Besides; I don't care if the world comes to an end. How can I help save the world, if I don't care about it…What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

He pulled her a little closer and gently pressed his lips against hers. "It's you."

But Gabriella still didn't believe it. "Okay, fine. If I am supposed to save the world, how am I gonna do it, huh. I'm not a werewolf, I'm not a vampire. I am a regular humanoid."

Troy scratched the back of his neck. "The seer didn't say how you would do it."

"Probably because, it was some nut that wanted attention." Gabriella seemed to be trying to reason with him.

Troy shook his head. "Well…The guys are waiting on the balcony. And they know more about this then I do. Okay?" She was silent for a moment, but after a smile, she took his hand in hers and stood up.

He led them to the balcony and found Aiden, Austin, and Elijah waiting for them. "Where's Nathan?" Gabriella asked, after taking in the beautiful surroundings and the stars in the sky.

"Resting." Aiden said, calmly resting on the railing.

Gabriella looked concerned. She tugged on Troy's arm lightly. "He isn't hurt, is he?" His silence was her answer. "Which room is his?"

Everyone turned sharply to look at her confused. "Why?" Troy asked, not happy about his mate wanting to go into another male's room.

Gabriella rolled her eyes, hearing the possessiveness in his voice. She walked out and opened each door, looking for Nathan. She finally found him in the first room to the right. She heard Troy and everyone else follow her into the room. But she couldn't pay any attention to them. Someone was hurt, and her heart was calling her to help the injured werewolf.

She ran down to the kitchen and filled a bowl with hot water. She went back up and grabbed a washcloth from his bathroom. Not paying any attention to anyone else. They just watched as she went about.

Lifting the blanket off of Nathan, she saw a large slash on his leg, and it seemed the bleeding had stopped a bit. But she could tell that it was causing him horrible pain. Quickly dabbing the washcloth in the water, she started to clean all the dirt in the wound. His gasp of pain was enough to make her look up at him.

Nathan was looking at her like she was an angel, sent to save him. She smiled at him before turning towards the others in the room. "Do you have any antiseptic powder? Alcohol, bandages?" Elijah, Aiden, and Austin were gone in a flash. Troy looked at her for a second longer before leaving too.

She turned back to Nathan, seeing him holding the sheets tightly. She quickly squeezed the blood out of the washcloth before dabbing it back in the water. Making sure it was still hot, she folded it and put it on his forehead.

She smiled at him as he looked at her adoringly. She turned back around; Elijah and Troy were back with antiseptic powder. They handed it to her. "You had this in the house?" She sounded a little surprised.

"No." He answered calmly. Aiden was then back, with some alcohol for her and four beers for them. Austin came in not a minute later with the bandage. She quickly and carefully cleaned any infection from Nathans wound before wrapping it up in the bandage. She didn't even realize that everyone was staring at her. She smiled at her work before walking over to Troy's side. His arms immediately wrapping around her waist and pulling her close to him, relieved to have her at his side.

"Thank you." Nathan said with a smile.

Gabriella smiled back at him. "No problem…But can I know what's going on now?"

Troy looked down at her before looked at Aiden, silently telling him to explain things. "In the beginning, all that evolution and shit happened, and everything was normal and blah blah blah. And then the Satan came into the picture and decided to have a little fun. It all started with one werewolf, and one vampire. No one knows why the war started. But it did, and it doesn't seem that it'll stop. Werewolves and vampires were made to hunt and kill each other. But there was a seer, and he said that a girl would bring an end to the war…and long story short, that girl is you."

Gabriella blinked a few times, and Troy could feel her stiffen. "You're all nuts."

Elijah decided to speak up. "Gabriella. Your destiny was decided long ago. You can fight it, but you can't change it. You have to accept this, and help us end this bloodshed." Troy looked down at her again. He could tell that she wanted to help them, but she just didn't believe that it was her.

"The seer didn't say how you were going to help, but…your eyes, and your hair, and your lips. You're not of this world Gabriella. Your beauty is indescribable." Austin's words made Gabriella a little uncomfortable, she doesn't like compliments.

"I have a sister…maybe she's the one you're looking for."

Troy repressed a shudder. "Your sister is not the one. Trust me."

Gabriella was silent for a few moments. And everyone was waiting for what she would do. "Okay! Fine, I'm the girl that's supposed to save the world…But when we find out that I'm not that girl, you're all going to feel like a bunch of idiots." She stormed out of the room, with a chuckling Troy close on her tail.

"I'll take the first shift." Aiden said before disappearing.

Gabriella cocked an eyebrow as Troy shut the door to their room. "What shift?"

"Every couple hours, we switch shifts. We just keep watch and make sure the area is free of spies and scouts." Troy answered easily as he put his took his pants off.

Gabriella held her breath as she saw Troy in his boxers. He was the definition of perfection. He noticed her staring at him and grinned. "See something you like Ms. Montez?"

Gabriella tried her best not to blush. "No." She plopped down on the bed. "I thought I saw a bug."

"Is it that hard to admit that you were staring at me? I've been staring at your legs for the past hour." Troy jumped on the bed, landing next to her with a cocky grin. Gabriella looked down to see her legs completely bare, Troy's shirt only going down to her thighs.

She couldn't find it in herself to be surprised at Troy's comment. "Well, I guess you have more confidence being a werewolf and vampire. Me, being a human that's not supposed to save the world, has insecurities like every other human being."

Troy moved a strand of hair out of her face. "You have no reason to be insecure. You are the most beautiful creature, inside and out." She rolls her eyes. "I know. It's cheesy. But it's true." Gabriella didn't roll her eyes, despite yet another cheesy line. She smiled at him and leaned forward, capturing his lips in a soft kiss.

But that wasn't enough for Troy. He pulled her closer and slipped his tongue in her mouth, tasting her sweet taste and pulling her on top of him. And Gabriella seemed too lost in the sensations he was causing to remember something important that she was supposed to say.

She felt Troy's hands start to unbutton the shirt that she had taken claim over, and she sat up, straddling him, letting his hands drop to her hips. She slowly started to unbutton her shirt, feeling more sexy then ever from the look in Troy's eyes. He let out a whimpered groan and bucked his hips up against hers at the sight of her breasts.

But Gabriella realized something when her shirt was almost off, and Troy's erection against her pussy almost made her forget again. She quickly started to button up the shirt again. "What? Oh, come on. You can't do this to me." Troy protested, wanting to rip the shirt off of her.

Gabriella smiled apologetically. "Troy, I would love to do this with you right now. But, I need clothes…Plus, my mother came back home today, and she's not going to be very happy with me."

Troy perked up. "Ok. Let's go."

Gabriella shook her head. "No, no. I have to go alone. My sister is going to jump you if she sees you."

"I may not be into formalities or anything, but I would like to meet the mother of the woman I'm going to be with for the rest of my life."

Gabriella tried to hide her blush. "That's sweet Troy. But my Maria doesn't really like me, and I wouldn't be surprised if she tried to jump your bones too."

Troy chuckled while getting up and putting his clothes back on. "All the more reason for me to go with you, plus, didn't I tell you that I would never let you leave this house without me."

"No."

Troy's smile faltered, for a split second. "Oh. Well, I'm telling you now."

.

"MOM, Gabs is home."

Gabriella winced at the shrill sound of her sisters voice. She decided to hide behind Troy to escape her mother's wrath. "I can't believe that's your sister." Troy muttered as Jessica finally saw him.

"Oh my god, Troy Bolton is in our house." Jessica stared at him for a moment before running up to her room.

Gabriella sighed when she saw her mother. Burying her face in Troy's back, silently asking for his help. Troy cleared his throat at the murderous look in Maria's eyes. "Hello Ms. Montez. I'm Troy Bolton, your daughter's boyfriend."

Loud laughter came from Jessica, who had changed her clothes and put a little make-up on, and Maria. "That's funny."

"It's also true. And I am representing her in this matter."

Maria stopped laughing. "The school called and told me that she missed school, two days in a row. I come home, and she's not here. Then she suddenly shows up and makes her "boyfriend" tell lies to me…This is simple. She's in deep trouble."

Troy seemed to be trying to hold his anger in. "Your daughter's missing for almost three days, and you don't call the police."

Maria was silent for a moment. "I don't trust the police." She was obvious lying.

Gabriella chose not to comment on the fact that when Jessica came home three hours late two weeks ago, Maria practically called the CIA to find her. "You don't care about her." It's then that he really looked at Maria. She didn't look anything like Gabriella. In fact, neither did Jessica. Delving quickly into her mind, Troy found something that made him tighten his hold on Gabriella. "You're not even her real mother."

Gabriella looked at him like he was crazy. "Troy. What are you doing?" She muttered to him, thinking that it had been a bad idea to come here.

"How dare you say such a thing!" Maria looked angry, but she sounded scared.

Gabriella looked at her for a moment, before looking at Troy. She found herself trusting him more than her mother. "Oh. My. God. I've stepped into a cheesy remake of Twilight." Troy chuckled as he started leading her upstairs to her room.

"I thought she was going to have an aneurism." Troy said as he opened her dresser. Gabriella slammed it shut and looked at him expectantly. "Yes darling?"

Gabriella fought the urge to smile. "Are you out of your mind?"

Troy looked like he was contemplating that for a moment. "No. But I would say that I'm out of touch with the Simpsons." She just stared at him. "Seriously, I haven't watched an episode in two months."

Gabriella broke her serious face to giggle. She stood on her tiptoes to give him a quick peck. "Fine, we'll talk about it later. I just want to get out of here right now."

"I could buy you new clothes you know."

Gabriella just shook her head and smiled. "I like my clothes."

Troy took a look at the giant shirts. "Obviously. They're all the same, only in different colors. Jean shorts, tank tops and large button down shirts." He didn't mention the fact that there were no skirts, dresses, or anything colorful. It made him love her even more, if that was possible.

"I have your shirts now too." Troy smirked at the idea of her wearing his shirts, with his sent on them.

They finished putting her clothes in a bag, and Troy turned around to look at the other stuff in the room. There wasn't much. "Anything else?" Troy asked, anxious to get her back in his bed and in his arms.

Gabriella looked around for a moment before grabbing her iPod. "Let's go."

Maria was waiting for them downstairs. But they walked right past her. "Where do you think you're going?" Troy opened the car door for Gabriella. "I'll call the police."

He turned to look at the screaming woman. "Go right ahead."

"Troy." Gabriella cautioned at the mention of the police. She didn't understand how he could be so calm about everything.

He started up the car and started to head back to the house. "She won't call the police. And, if she does, we can take care of them."

After they got off the main road, Gabriella crossed her arms. "If you don't tell me why that woman back there isn't my mother right now, I won't kiss you for the rest of the night."

"You're lying." She raised an eyebrow. "Okay, okay, fine…I'm not entirely sure, but because of dyed hair, brown contacts, and the fact that you look nothing like her, I just have a little theory that she's not your mother. And that fact that she's being paid a couple thousand every week to pretend to be your mother." Gabriella stayed silent. "It's okay if you don't believe me."

She put her hand on his leg. "I believe you…I guess I should have seen that coming anyways."

"What do you mean?"

"Well" She took a deep breath. "In the past two days I've found out I'm the mate of a vampire/werewolf, there's a supernatural war going on, and I'm suppose to save the world…I guess it only makes sense that Maria's not my mother."

Troy grabbed her hand and squeezed gently. "I know that's a lot to take in."

Gabriella shook her head with a tiny smile. "It's not that, it's just…I can't help but wonder who the hell my real parents are, and if they're human."

"I'm sure they're human." Troy said, trying to reason with her.

But Gabriella wanted to have fun with this. "What if they're fish? What if I'm a fish?"

He chuckled. "You're not a fish."

"How do you know? I could be a giant mutated fish. Oh wait, never mind. I don't like water…But that doesn't mean I couldn't be anything else." She was giggling like mad on the inside, but the comedian inside of her needed to use the bit while it lasts.

But Troy knew that she was just having fun. "How about this…I'll love you no matter what you are."

She groaned. "Okay, new threat…If you say one more cheesy line, I will never kiss you again."

"Doesn't that seem a little extreme?"

She giggled again. It seems she's been doing a lot of giggling lately. "That's the fourth cheesy line today. If you can't control yourself, I'm gonna have to enforce some rules."

Troy slammed his foot on the brake. Fortunately, he wasn't paying attention before, and luckily stopped the car right in front of the house. "What rules?" He sounded slightly panicked.

"I'll think of some if you keep saying those cheesy lines." Gabriella said as she went to open her door, but Troy beat her too it with his damn super speed. She narrowed her eyes playfully. "Showoff." She muttered.

He grinned at her. "You like it."

They reached the door and she turned towards him, moving up close and looking at him challengingly. "Maybe I do, and maybe I don't."

Troy grabbed her hips and pulled her closer. She gasped when she felt his hard erection. "I think you do."

"I love you." She could barely believe the words that just came out of her mouth.

Troy stared at her for a second. After seeing nothing but sincerity and love in her eyes, he leaned his head down and captured her lips I a soft kiss. While still filled with passion, it was even more filled with love, and that's what made it special.

He pulled back and saw a content little smile on her face. He leaned back in, and right before his lips touched hers, he picked her up and smirked at her tiny scream. He carried her bridal style, and knew that she held her tongue about the cheesiness.

"You think too much." Troy said before cutting off her answer with a kiss.
