Hayley's POV
Ross had a death cold tone on his voice when he said those last words and then I let go of Kory and backed up from all of them for a minuet. They all looked at me and Ross had a look that made me feel like none of that just happened. I sat down on the floor and just stared at all of them and watched them talk as if I wasn't even there. Just them my hand started twitching and my hand was literally dragging me up the stairs. I was dragged to my room and my hand found a pen, my book, and started writing all on it's own. Kathy felt the piercing pain of Adam's fangs go into her neck. She screamed, but was soon unconscious, just like her sister. She woke up a time later still in that same spot that she fell, but her sister was moved next to her. Kathy sat up and looked around and saw Adam, perched on a gravestone, watching them. He got up and walked over and helped Kathy up off the ground. She noticed she was extremely cold, there was a burning in her throat, and her skin was super pale. Kathy looked back at her sister, who was still unconscious on the ground. She could hear her little sister's heartbeat and smell her blood. Kathy shot a glare Adam's way. Adam put his hands up "All I did was move her over next to you, she's basically unharmed and all human" he said knowing exactly what Kathy was going to ask. Kathy's gaze softened as she looked at her boyfriend, the boy that had been turned into a vampire only a few months before. Kathy went and hugged Adam. But then pulled back and looked at Hayley. "What are we going to do about her?" Kathy asked worriedly.
"I have the power to make her forget everything... but she'll have to forget you as well" Adam explained.
"I'm fine with that... but I can't go the rest of my eternity without seeing her again"
"Alright... we can find her again around the time to her 16th to 17th birthday and make her just like us"
"I'm not sure if I could do that to her though..."
"It's either she becomes immortal and you can see her, or she stays mortal and you never see her again"
Kathy thought it over and looked between Hayley and Adam... "Alright" she agreed "We'll do it"
"But you have to remember... if anyone else does before you do... they have the power to keep you away from her... so you need to get it done"
"Alright... just... make her forget... please"
Adam let go of Kathy and quickly picked up Hayley's motionless body and carried it back to their house. Kathy sat there and waited on a gravestone for Adam to come back. He came back, not too much later, and grabbed Kathy's hand. "Kathy... it's fine... just a few years... I promise" And then the pen dropped out of my hand. Ross was already right there in front shaking my shoulder and saying my name and Kory and Steven were standing in the doorway, ready to help at a moment's notice. I looked at Ross. "I know why she's coming" I said sacredly.
"Why? Why is she coming for you?" Ross asked excitedly (but in a frantic type way).
"Here" I said and handed him my book "Read it" Ross took the book out of my hand and read, and slowly, a look of horror came onto his face. "But you don't want that, do you?" he asked knowingly. I shook my head quietly. "What?" Kory asked from the doorway.
"Kathy wants to make Hayley a vampire" Ross explained.
"But, she doesn't want to... Her own sister is going to force her?!" Steven asked from behind Kory.
"Well apparently" Ross responded in a smart a** tone. I moved closer to Ross on the bed and leaned my head on his shoulder. "Ross?" I asked quietly.
"Yeah?" he asked looking back at me. Kory and Steven quietly walked out the room.
"Everything's gonna be okay... right?"
"Hayley" he said sweetly "You know I'd never let anything happen to you"
"But... what if you can't stop Kathy?"
"I can damn sure try"
"I can't ask you to put your life at risk to keep me mortal"
"I can't let something happen to you that you don't want while I'm still here"
"You're amazing Ross"
"I try to be... but you're just naturally that way"
I smiled and held onto Ross's arm as if it were the only thing keeping me in reality as I shut my eyes. Ross put his arm around me and I could feel him lightly stroking my hair. He leaned over and kissed the top of my head. He kept his chin on the top of my head and whispered, just before I fell off, "Everything's gonna be fine Hayley... I promise" and so far... he's kept his promises.
