TAMARA'S POV
Going through all of Mom and Charles stuff, I make sure everything is organized neatly hoping they won't find anything to bitch about when we get there. Once about half of everything is packed Tristan come into the room catching me dancing around to the country music I have blasting in my headphones. Seeing the look in his eyes I couldn't bring myself to feel embarrassed. Grabbing my wrist he pulled me into his arms and kissed me deeply.
Once we pulled away from each other, I pushed him to the other side of the room knowing I would just pull him back in if he was still right in front of me. "You can pack Charles shit, I really can't be bothered to. I am just going to make sure everything else in the house is packed, I'll do a walk through of all the rooms to make sure everything else is finished. Meet me in the kitchen once you finish, the movers should be here by then and we can head out."
"Okay love." He responded, still looking at me through hooded eyes.
Walking out the door quickly, not allowing myself to turn back so I don't go jump on him again. "We have to finish the Tamara, get yourself together." I whispered to myself, walking into my bedroom. Looming around I can't help but remembering all of the memories I had in this room. The sleepovers I used to have when I was still a part of the dance club. The times just snuggling with Tristan on nights that I couldn't sleep. Or the nights that he just held me as I broke down. I completely understand why he doesn't want to tell me what he found. At the same time, since he told me that it may open up old wounds, I think it must be about the incident. I want to be able to heal from the incident but until I can figure out why it happened then I honestly don't know if I am able to fully heal from it.
Honestly, I already know that I will be getting Tristan to tell me what he found. I think I will ask him to tell me tonight, at least it will just be us so he can be there for me if I need him. Shaking myself out of my thoughts, I continue on through the rest of the house, picking up forgotten items along the way. Hearing the doorbell ring I yell out to Tris that I will answer it. Opening the door I see Melissa, one of the popular bitches from our old school. "What do you want Melissa?" I ask with a roll of my eyes. "Where is Tristan, slut?" She responded, pushing me aside as she strolled right in, looking around with furrowed eyebrows. Seeing the moving vans pull up, I decide to let Tristan deal with her. "Tris! There's a troll here for you!" I yelled before stalking out the door towards the movers, ignoring whatever remark Melissa said as I was leaving.
"Hello, you must be Tamara, my name is Dave. Your mother said you would be able to show us what we are taking with us?"
"Of course Dave, it's nice to meet you. If you follow me I will show you what needs to be done." Walking back into the house I see Tristan standing there with a crying Melissa. "What's going on?" I mouth to him. "I honestly have no idea." He mouthed back, with a shrug of his shoulders before telling her, "Honestly Melody, I have no idea why you are here. You should leave."
"What do you mean you don't want me here?! I am your girlfriend! I have every right to be wherever you are!" She screeched.
Tristan burst out laughing. "Girlfriend? Never in a million years would I want your slutty, bitchy ass as my girlfriend. I definitely don't like you, I have no idea how you figured out where I live either. Plus, I am moving today, and I already have a girlfriend. Now get your slutty ass out of my house."
Snickering I waved the movers forward so she could make her way out of the house after realizing we were all laughing at the drama we just saw go down. "Okay, so we packed all of the rooms up so all of the furniture and packed boxes can go. Everything that you are not taking, is here in this pile." I say, waving my hand at the pile closest to the front door. "Tristan and I will pack these into our car. Uhhh, I think that's everything. Oh, there is a shed in the back as well, please make sure all of that stuff gets brought to the new place as well."
"Alright, thank you for that. Are you both sticking around while we are here?" Dave asked.
"No, I don't believe so, we are just going to head out to our hotel. Here are the keys to the house, my mother said to tell you to lock the door once you have finished and stick the keys back in through the mail slot. Thank you so much for doing this!" Smiling at him I hold my hand out. "Yes Ma'am, thank you for your help. Have yourself a great night!" Smiling warmly back at me, he shook my hand before walking over to Tristan and having a short conversation before shaking his hand as well.
Waving Tristan over I ask, "Are you ready to head out? Or is there anything else you need to do?"
"Nope, lets just load up the car and then head out." He responded grabbing the 3 boxes that were next to the door. Rolling my eyes, I grab the suitcase and backpack that were left. Unlocking the car and popping the trunk we load everything in. Tossing the keys to Tris. "You can drive, I'm exhausted." Feeling drained I climb into the front seat ready to have myself a nice relaxing bath.
"I have made my decision babe, I do want to know whatever you found," hearing his sharp inhale of breath I hurried on. "However, I would like to have a nice relaxing bath together beforehand. If that is something you are interested in." I carry one, keeping a small smirk on my face before slowly placing my hand on his inner thigh. Feeling him tense, I hope I will get exactly what I am hoping for.
"Are you sure T? I don't want you feeling pressured or like you have to do anything you're not comfortable with. I mean, I would love to have a bath with you but maybe we should start slow on everything else. Of course I want to do everything else with you as well but honestly I am terrified of going too fast and screwing this up. You mean so much to me. I mean, you're my sister, my best friend, my twin. I couldn't handle it if I hurt you, plus we don't know why the Moon Goddess said this is okay when all our lives people have looked down on people like us. Let's just take this slow. okay?" He rambled, sounding terrified. I think he is scared that I am mad at him.
"Hey, hey calm down Tris, it's okay! I just want to be able to cuddle close and kiss you in a hot bubble bath. I am definitely okay with holding off on everything else until we get all of the answers we are needing." Grabbing his hand with both of mine I rubbed it with my thumbs and brought it up to my lips, giving it a small kiss, seeing a small smiling show up on his face. Feeling the tension slowly leaving his body, I allow myself to relax. Laying my head onto the window, closing my eyes, I allow the soft rumble of the engine to lull me to sleep.
Opening my eyes, I realize that I am back in the Moon Goddess' realm. Seeing no one around me, I walk around the room. Finding nothing in the room except the bed and an empty dresser and closet I open the only other door. Seeing a long empty hallway going both directions, I stop and listen. Hearing the sound of music coming from my right, I continue walking down the hall towards it. Following the sound of what I believe to be a piano being played I find myself standing outside a large golden coloured door. Opening the door, I end up in a huge room, with ceilings that are at least 50 feet high. Seeing a woman sitting at the massive grand piano that is in the middle of the room I slowly approach her, calling out "Hello? Moon Goddess?"
Seeing the lady jump a bit at the sound of my voice, she yelped and replied "Oh! You spooked me! Sorry, I expected you to rest a bit longer. Normally mortals are out for quite a while when I bring them here. I should have known you would be awake much quicker than most with the blood that runs through your veins."
"What do you mean because of the blood in my veins?" I ask curiously.
"No, no, no it's not for me to say. Your father will explain, but for now lets talk about why I brought you here." She looks towards me, seemingly looking for a conformation that I am listening to her. I nod my head, wanting to roll my eyes as well but know she will see that as rude and I do not feel like listening to a lecture. "Okay, well I need to pre-warn you about the information that I led Tristan to finding today."
"Wait led Tristan? What do you mean led him?" I interrupted, feeling frustrated not getting all of the answers and constantly hearing, 'your father will explain'.
"You will not interrupt me. I will say what I need to say but I am unable to give anymore information than necessary without disrupting the natural order of things. You will get the full explanation once you have met your father and not anytime before. Now I need you to listen to me without interruption. Am I clear?" She states with an angry gleam in her eyes.
Bowing my head, feeling incredibly guilty, "Yes Moon Goddess, I apologize." I whisper.
"Okay, now I know that Tristan warned you that it will be painful to learn about but what I need you to focus on is your anger. You will be incredibly hurt by what you learn but that will fade away into anger. What you need to do is stay calm and remember that even though you went through traumatic events, you came out of it stronger. You have to stay calm and rational. If you lose your temper than you could hurt somebody or yourself. You need to remember that you are physically and emotionally stronger than most other people." Seeing me open my mouth to argue, she waved her hand and I was unable to make any noise at all. "Carrying on, I know you are confused but you need to do everything in your power to control yourself. If you don't there is a high possibility that you may kill someone."
Waving her hand once again I attempted to say something, needing to clear my throat a few times before being able to respond, "Kill someone? You're crazy! I would never do something like that!" I yell, feeling tears of frustration well up in my eyes.
"Watch yourself child!" She yelled back, her eyes flashing to a dangerous shade of silver before taking in a few calming breaths with her eyes closed. Once she opened hey eyes they were back to their normal shade of green. "You will understand everything soon enough Child. Your father will explain everything to you. Now, I have to go. Remember my warning!" She clapped and everything went dark.
