Sorry i know i said i would update yesterday but if i'm being honest, i forgot. I was looking after animals in the morning and in the afternoon i went to a party, when i got home i went to bed. So heres your next chapter ;)
Klaus was instantly gone from next to me. I looked up properly to see him holding the map and frowning. Kol and Elijah used their vampiric speed and arrived next to him, looking over his shoulder at the map. They both frowned too.
"This is a blank piece of paper," Kol growled.
"That's why I said good luck. Only a healer can read that map," my grandfather explained.
All three of the brother's faces changed from confused to very pissed off expressions. Suddenly Klaus's expression changed as he looked at me. Suddenly he was next to me holding the map out in front of me.
"Can you read it?" he asked.
"No," I answered truthfully.
I stared at the blank page for a moment and was aware of my grandfather talking. Suddenly something flickered on the map, just for a second. I sat back away from the map. Klaus stared at me as if to say 'what?'
"It moved. Just for a second I thought I saw something," I explained as I stared closely at the map.
"That's impossible. You're not even a whole healer. You haven't bonded with the map. It doesn't show itself to strangers," my grandfather argued but then he shut his mouth knowing that he had just given us the answer to reading the map.
I had so many questions to ask my grandparents but to be perfectly honest I was scared of them. They had just sat there while I screamed on the floor a few days ago. I wanted to know why Kol had said that I was impossible. I wanted to know why I had screamed. I wanted to know why Kol and Klaus had hunted down all of the healers except the group that I was descended from.
I crept out of bed. I hoped that everyone was asleep. Stopping next to the other spare room I heard hushed voices. Klaus … Elijah … and Kol. They were all in there. Okay, now all I had to do was pluck up enough courage to ask my grandparents the questions. I would have to do it tonight because I knew that within the next two days we were going to leave.
Suddenly Klaus was in front of me smiling. In surprise I stepped backwards away from him. I was glad it wasn't Kol. Although I would have preferred it if none of them had heard me.
"Eavesdropping?" Klaus asked with a smile.
"No," I answered immediately. I should probably tell the truth, how else am I going to get past him? "I wanted to talk to my grandparents," I said quietly.
Klaus seemed distant for a moment. Like he was waiting for something. Then his eyes seemed to flicker back to me.
"They're awake," he said after a moment.
He was going to let me go? Wow that's surprising. I crept past him and into the living room. I swear that my grandparents lived in there. They never slept in their bedroom; instead they slept in the armchairs.
They looked up at me quizzically as I walked in. My grandfather had a newspaper in front of his face but lowered it as I walked in. My grandmother was reading a book.
"Come to get answers for them?" my grandmother asked.
Well, now I was sure that she didn't like me.
"No, I came to get answers for myself," I replied.
