14-Truth? Who Says I Don't Know What It Is?

Dallas nodded her head, trying not to let it get to her that everyone knew it now. She may have been worried previously, but not so much now the truth was out. A great weight had been lifted form her shoulders, it felt quite good to know that they hadn't all grabbed pitchforks and torches.

Abigail was stuck for words, though, "No...No, you can't be..." That was all she kept repeating, over and over again because there was nothing else she could say. "You can't be..." But Dallas was a soothsayer.

"It's okay." Dallas shrugged it off, "No biggie."

"No biggie?" Abigail repeated, shocked that Dallas could shrug it off just like that. "THIS IS A HUGE BIGGIE!" The young vampire exploded. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS?"

"Yes." Dallas replied calmly, "I know what soothsayer means. I have been living with it since I was six."

"I don't." Jenifer replied, oblivious as usual. "Can you explain to me, please?"

Abigail as awestruck. She could not believe that Dallas could just push something as big as this to the side like she was doing. The vampire shook her head, retreating to her previous spot on the floor, as far away from Dallas as possible.

"A soothsayer is basically an oracle." Abigail whispered.

"A what-acle?" Jenifer asked, even more confused now than she had been before. The blonde was very slowly losing all of her sense to understand the conversation going on around her.

"An oracle is a person or agency considered to be a source of wise counsel or prophetic opinion, predictions or precognition of the future." Abigail's words were memorized from the textbook she had fallen in love with at school, never knowing that it may have saved her life one day, such as now.

"So...You mean she's like Aunt Taylor and Rosie, can see the future?" Jenifer questioned.

Abigail shook her head no, everyone not sure whether to be looking at the girl telling the news or the girl the news is about. A few did know what a soothsayer was, but they weren't sure whether to be scared or not as they had never come across one before.

"An Oracle can only predict the future, not interfere and try to change it. It will always happen no matter what." Abigail continued to explain to everyone. "Soothsayer's are highly dangerous and should be avoided at all costs."

Now all eyes were on Dallas, who was just staring around at each of them. They had all liked her moment earlier, so why was all of that changed now because of them knowing the truth about her?

"And now you all know why I haven't told you before." Dallas said, trying to sound as though she still had control, but her voice was quiet, horsey as if she had been screaming for hours on end. "I knew you would react like this..."

Dallas swallowed an awkward lump in her throat. That was the only good part of moving, she got to meet new people who never questioned her for at least a few months and by that time, she was leaving again anyway.

This time was different, though. Dallas was going to have to stay put for a while because she didn't have enough money to move or any family to depend on. She was just going to have to stick it out for a while longer with the people who now knew what she was.

"I'm not a dangerous person." Dallas continued to speak. "It's just my predications that are. You're just twice as likely to be connected to them if you hear them, that's all."

There was silence for a while; no one knew how to respond to learning such a thing.

Jenifer got up from her space on the floor and sat on the sofa beside Dallas. She hugged her. Dallas was in dire need of a friend, a shoulder to lean on, and Jenifer was there to be that friend, that shoulder to lean on. Jenifer was not going to abandon such a nice girl in a time of need just because a few people thought she was dangerous.

"So, like, have any of your predictions ever been dangerous?" Carmen had felt the need to know that answer. Dallas smiled, almost laughed, which did make everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Dallas was willing to laugh and joke about herself, which was one of the many good qualities about her. She didn't mind talking about anything with anyone. Dallas was the sort of person who wanted to help others before herself; it was just the way she had learnt growing up.

"I have no idea..." She finally replied, after a few moments of thinking. "I have either never remembered them myself or have never been around when they've come true." Carmen nodded her head, now understanding a bit more about Dallas. She needed to know a bit more about Dallas to understand her, which was what everyone aimed to be able to do in the end.

Thomas bit down on his bottom lips, slowly creeping up behind his favourite current favourite girl. Of course, she didn't know she was his favourite girl or even that he was behind her.

The vampire quickly brought his hands up over her eyes, bringing his lips close to her ear and whispering, "Guess who?"

Dallas smiled slightly, knowing instantly who it was just from his voice and the coldness of his hands.

"The mailman?" Dallas guessed. "No! Spiderman?" Thomas let out a snicker; trust Dallas to want to play with him first. "Hmm...Maybe it's that asshole I live next door to?"

"Hey." Thomas replied, jumping over the back of the sofa and sitting beside Dallas. "No need to talk about my sisters like that."

Dallas rolled her eyes, punching Thomas' arm. She was still smiling on the inside and Thomas was he too. The two, very secretly, liked being in each other's company. They liked to annoy each other, tease each other, but they really did like each other.

"Sooo..." Thomas knew this next part was going to be awkward no matter what, so he might as well get it started sooner rather than later. "I didn't just come here to test your guessing skills."

Dallas raised an eyebrow, pulling a shocked face as if to say 'Really?' But she soon snapped back to normal, thinking straight again.

"And what would your girlfriend say if she saw us together?" It hurt to even say those words.

"Dal..." Thomas sighed, this was the hard part. "You know I don't really love Olivia, I love-" But Thomas never got to finish his sentence.

"-Save it, Tom." Dallas told him, getting to her feet. "If you loved me, you would have said so a long time ago." She collected two glasses that had been placed on the coffee table and proceeded to dispose of them in the kitchen sink.

Thomas wasn't going to just let her slip through his fingers like that, so he followed. Little did he know, Dallas had planned on him doing so. She knew he wasn't going to resist her, let her push him away like that. Thomas knew what he wanted and was going to get it.

"Dallas!" The vampire tried to get the girls attention. "I do love you!" He stopped, waiting for her to turn around and give him some snappy come-back, but it never came. "Dal...Dallas! Dallas look at me!" But she never did.

Thomas moved around to see the front of her, but was in a state of shock when he saw it.

Dallas had suddenly stood bolt-up right, her eyes wide and her whole body frozen in place. Her mouth dropped open almost like it was being controlled, and then she spoke,

"The battle is over,

Your time has come,

The last turn will come undone.

But no more pain, no more hurt,

Forever peaceful?

But no more alert."

It wasn't Dallas' voice entirely. It was as if someone was talking the same time as her, a deeper and older woman's voice overtook hers.

But then she just collapsed, like she had done when Fiona had left her body. Thomas reached his arms out and quickly caught her, but he was going to need help now.

A/N:...That was the worst prediction I have ever heard...

LOL!

Seriously...Didn't it suck? LOL!

Okay, ya'll will probably say it didn't...But I think it did...

As Carmen would say; Sooooooo...
