Chapter 20

My heart almost stopped. The words "kill" and "saving you" spun in my head like this was all a dream.

"It's reality sweetie, so both of you get use to it, because you might not have to for long."She laughed, but stopped when we heard someone coming.

"Celina!?"

Alexa smirked with a figure grabbing her along out running out a side exit door letting cold air in.

Roc and Clover ran over finding us.

"Aye you okay?"He asked helping me up while Clover bit off Princes chains vigorously he had around his torso.

"Yeah."I answered to Roc. 

"Terrance and Jen are looking for you......so hurry up okay."She breathed in the air pulling Roc along winking before leaving both of us alone.

I teared running into Aden's arms, shaking because I'm scared, more like terrified about that whole encounter.

"I'm sorry I had to put you through this.... I thought if I lured them in and ended it for good we'd be safe...." He held me tighter as I closed my eyes letting tears fall. 

"So you couldn't have told us to stay close Alexa's around?"

I opened my eyes to a worried Ray and Prod. 

"We're fine, she's gone."Prince answered.

"Oh then come on Lara's party is almost over."Ray grinned walking away. He would think of a party at a time like this.

.......

"So does this mean your father hates me?"Celina asked shivering from the cold.

No but I know he hates me. 

I put my jacket around her pulling her close into a slow dance outside on the gazebo.

She sighed closing her eyes.

"You're thinking about that Wattpad vampire book again aren't you." I shook my head.

She giggled.

We need a plan.

Prod thought asking her cousin to dance after she had already turned down half the room.

Do I have to stand by the punch bowl the whole night? 

Ray thought sighing.

It's not our fault you creep Laura out. 

Prod thought.

I chuckled lightly getting back to thinking of a plan on changing my fathers mind and lies from our community. You'd be surprised at how many of us live in Capestead, our kind practically built this town well that's actually great story I should definitely tell Celina one day. How her snotty friend Laura's ancestors tried enslaving and murdering vampires and other creatures who refused to build this town.

"How about she come over for Thanksgiving dinner next month....."

I looked out through the trees at my mother showing kindness in her golden eyes. 

"It gives us time to tell him as well as time for him to not be as mad. I really want you to tell your father, even if he thinks it's crazy. You love her and I'm okay with that...."She smiled stepping closer to Celina. She was relaxed not aware of my mothers Awwe at how cute she was.

Weird-much??

"I am not!''She mouthed backing away into the forest. 

I think I've finally mastered hiding certain thoughts.

I thought about what Alexa said about my parents... 

Celina sighed lovingly, looking up at me with her beautiful brown eyes. She smiled as I noticed little specks of gold that weren't there before. Maybe I'm just imagining things but my vision is perfect and I've stared at her over a million times now, I don't think I'd forget that tiny detail.

"When did you put this on my finger."She smiled looking down at the infinity ring I made to replace the one her dad gave her. It was half my fault it broke into pieces and it's also a easy way to track her down if she's ever to go missing.

"It's a...sorry for breaking your other one."

She giggled making me lose thought at how beautiful she looks. 

"Well thank you."She smiled as I dipped her.

Maybe having her over for Thanksgiving is a good idea. We just need something to get my fathers attention but I hope this works out, election day for vamps is right after New Years. It's sort of a mark to a new year or new century for some.
