Transcendence [Book #2]

Chapter 18

Transcendence Chapter 18

(Chapter 18 might end a little short considering chapters 15-17 were long. Lol. Thanks for reading anyway.)

After Lucius' incredibly long story everyone's faces is frozen in shock.

"That really was a long story" Alex said

"So Jack the vampire of vampires is not Elissa's grandfather its.." Tristan paused while he was interrupted

"Me" Lucius said

"Then this whole time you could have defeated Jack not me"

"No I couldn't, Jack was the second born son who became leader after I was exiled from my family who was never meant to lead the vampire race. Who abruptly changed everything and turned into a monster. I could have battled him but it was never meant for me it was always meant for the prophecy. The hybrid. You" Lucius explained

"Where is her mother and father now?" Tristan asked

"Buried at a cemetery in Romania" Lucius

"Romania!" Everyone yells

"It wasn't a wise decision but they wanted to be buried somewhere far away" Kate said

"So what this mean about Isolde?" Theo asks

"I don't know who she is, maybe she is a close family friend who was sent to kill you" Lucius said

"Now I see why you kept it from her all this time" Claire said

"And the amulet" I asked

It was around Lucius' neck the whole time. And I thought Tristan could have fooled me. The same illustration as my tattoo. My protection .

Lucius handed me the amulet to look at. It was beautiful and just how I imagined it would me. How was Isolde going to kill me without finding the Immortalis Dagger first. Unless she already had it or she was searching for it.

"Do you think its possible they are searching for the Immortalis dagger and think I might know" I asked

"I dont know" he responded

"So let me get this straight the person who wrote this book was a 'вра--' was your father and Jack really wasn't my maternal grandfather at all and my dad is your son"

"Yes" Lucius said

"What does this word even mean?" I asked Lucius

"врана Its Bulgarian for Crow. As in Crowley" Lucius explained

"How are you sure that Aleksander killed Adrian?" Theo asked

"My father came back and blood was on his clothes and the dagger. And he told us he killed him. But no one knows what the dagger did to Adrian except for my father"

-Long Pause-

"Well I don't know about you but Im exhausted" Alaric says

"C'mon baby, Ill find us a room" Claire said

"I'm sorry Elissa" Lucius apologizes

Everyone leaves the room leaving me and Tristan alone together.

"Elissa can you give me a second " Tristan said

"Yeah"

"I'm sorry about everything, If you just gave me a chance " Tristan expected me to come back to him

"You still don't get it do you. We were never a couple , we had one night that I thought would be forever. We skipped so many steps and because of that we can't even look at each other the same. I will not be killed or have my heart broken because of you " I explained

"I told you from the beginning it was better for you to be without me " he says

"I guess I should have listened " I say

That night I never went to bed the same I always dead. Staying up all night thinking about Tristan, Lucius and the facts. If they are true. Maybe I was too hard on Lucius and Tristan. And the reason to tell me the truth is because I will get angry.

Maybe I should be more like them and turn it off.

Instead of trying to sleep I kept reading that 'crow' book. Learning new information to understand what Isolde has on me. The thing was I didn't want to read Lucius, Kate,Tristan, or any of my other friends minds because I trusted them. I didn't want to invade their space or do anything to make them uncomfortable with me.

Jacks Castle

"Did you find anything else Will, your boring me" Isolde asks

"Is this going to be an every minute thing. Im trying to figure this crap out" Will says

He opens the book to the very last page looking for a conclusion to his next spell. He comes across the last line of the very last page.

"What is врана част втора?" Will asks

Isolde looks at the page thinking about those words.

"It means Crow part 2" Isolde says.

"We were looking the 2nd journal. We need the first one" Will explains

"Well, you use your spell, voodoo or whatever and figure out where the damn book is" Isolde says

"Magic, you mean" Will says

Will used blood and herbs to find the first book. All along they have been searching for wrong thing when they had it was in front of their faces all along.

"Its at The Vampire Academy" Will says

In the Morning

'The Library'

"Tristan, I let you let the hybrid stay here and Her with and other adult vampire. Now I need to add werewolves or enemies from over a thousand centuries" Rogue says

"Look, someone is planning something big and they wanted to help. I mind them staying here but what am I suppose to do" Tristan asks

"Yeah, let them live in the forest where they belong" Rogue sarcastically says while laughing

"Whatever happens this school is on lock down till further notice, students cant leave until we figure this crap out. you, me Sam,and Caleb have to guard the academy " Tristan says

"Were always in for a good kill" Rogue says

Tristan holds back his hinted smile.

"Whatever you do don't invite more animals off the street" Rogues says

"I know" Tristan says

-phone call-

"The one day where you don't have to feel bad about yourself is the day you can finally forgive yourself and make things right. What if the one person your're meant to be with is the person you've known your whole life. Then your whole life is turned right side up"
