Havoc
Lenete and Lilly had thrown themselves into planning my wedding, my mother was ignoring me, Jackson and I had Mehr alone time and my weird behaviour had come back. It has been exactly one week since i went weird the Sekunde time, Jackson has been spending a lot of the time we aren’t alone with Lilly and Nafron, review what could be happening and the powers of Vampire that are currently roaming. I avoided this research unless they uncovered something I’d rather not know.
I was doing assignments when i heard Lenete scream Dimytri’s name. I trudged my way down stairs. Lenete had a pair of high heels in her hand, only they couldn’t be called high any more. Dimytri was shaking with laughter at his sister’s attempts to hurt him.
‘Why were Du wearing my shoes in the first place?” Lenete screamed at him, Dimytri didn’t answer instead he laughter louder and ran out side.
“O.kay what was that all about?”
“Nothing... young lady why are Du awake you’re supposed to be healing”
“Yea well when Du sleep for 18 hours and your human Du kinda need to pee some time” i smiled and walked off.
“Wait Dis, um Lilly and Nafron found out something an—”
“Can Du wait until i finish on the toilet oder you’ll have a floor to clean”
“Oh yes okay” Lenete smiled and gracefully fell into the lounge and picked up a magazine.
My head buzzed around the few words Lenete had sagte ‘Lilly and Nafron found out something’ does that mean that something’s wrong with me? Fragen Fragen Fragen and all these Fragen were going through my head at once.
“Okay now what is it that Lilly and Nafron found?” i called as i carefully stepped off the last step
“It’s a vampire Daisi, One of our old friends; she used to like Jackson she’s coming here, now she’ll be here in about two days but that’s not all –”
“Daisi, Where are you, Family Meeting NOW!” Jackson roared from upstairs
“I’m down here” i sagte knowing he would hear me. He appeared and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
“Family meeting its important” he kissed me lightly and carried me to the kitchen, sitting me down on the chair Weiter to his. I held his hand tracing circles above his thumb. Every vampire in the room had a serious, business like face on them.
“Her name is Erika, I knew her, we all knew her and we all knew that she was in Liebe with Jackson but Jackson didn’t feel the same way, she now has a follower, Erika changed her about 10 years ago, Her name is Isabella, she is the only vampire known able to shape shift, Erika has lied to her about the relationship between Jackson and Daisi, so Isabella believes that Jackson left Erika for Daisi so they are coming her to—” Jackson coughed to stopped Nafron who began telling all those who didn’t know – only me- about the vampire we were dealing with “Her ability to erase memories and cause the things that have been happening to Daisi and have happened to Her mother,” He simplified it for my slow human brain.
“Wait this Erika has been doing this to me?”
“Yes and she and Isabella are coming here and we have a plan” Jackson hushed me
“No we don’t”
“Yes we do Daisi we spent most of the afternoon going over it”
“I don’t know it so how do we have a plan”
“Dis Liebe Du are the plan” Jackson squeezed my hand lightly.
“I... don’t understand” my eyelids closed on their on account. I felt myself being carried up to the bedroom and placed on the bed. Jackson wrapped is arms around me as i fell asleep. But sleep didn’t come; i lay in Jackson arms with my eyes closed i was careful not to think so Jackson would believe i was asleep.
“I know your not asleep Dis” i forced my eyes open. I turned over in Jackson arms and looked into his eyes.
“How am i the plan?”
“Nafron has seen that Du will befriend her and—” my eyes closed and sleep came this time.
“I don’t know what to do, i feel so hopeless” Jackson’s worry was obvious in his voice
“Son they will be here in less than half and Stunde don’t tell her, we will work around what they chose”
“I can’t help but have the feeling of wanting to kill them as soon as they step foot on the driveway”
“I don’t understand why do Du want to kill them?”
“Don’t judge me Father but Erika wants to kill Daisi, she thinks that if she kills Dis i will Liebe her, little does she know that killing Dis, is like her committing suicide”
Their whisper got quieter as i woke.
“Good afternoon, come on Du need to shower, we will have visitors soon” i nodded i still felt groggy from my Tag and a half of sleep. Jackson must have realised this, he held my waist as i walked to the bathroom, and he adjusted the water until it was suitable for me. Jackson was always the gentleman; he gently pulled my silk tank oben, nach oben and tiny shorts off but left my underclothes on. He lifted me over the edge of the bath and held me so i wouldn’t fall over. When i was showered, Jackson pulled me out of the shower, soaking his clothes in the process; he disappeared for a Sekunde and returned with a set of clothes for me. He left for a moment so i could change my underclothes. He returned when i tapped on the door, i held my hands over my head as he pulled on a frilly collared shirt; he lifted up my leg and pulled on a pair of jeans. In his hands he held a dressy vest. I wove my arms into the arm holes and pulled on a lacy wool knee length dress coat. I stared into the mirror at the sophisticated women standing in the bathroom with a soaked man Weiter to her.
“Lenete wants to do your hair and your shoes, she practically threw a fit when i sagte i would pick your clothes” i nodded and he kissed me lightly before disappearing.
“Lenete” i called, she soon knocked on the door “come in”
“Wow look at Du and all were doing is taking evil Vampire to dinner, come on lets finish Du off” i laughed
“You make me sound like dinner”
“If Du don’t ask Jackson to dress Du again Du will be”
“Wait Du want Jackson to dress me”
“Yea of course i mean look at Du he dress Du better than Du do”
“Thanks Lenny, can we get this over with?” she laughed and sat me down in the purple chair that was situated in front of a bench and mirror in our wardrobe, she worked with my hair quietly only answering my thoughts.
I didn’t want to look in the mirror so i kept my eyes closed concentrating on Lenete’s feather light touch on my hair. She zipped around the room dancing, spinning and twirling as she gathered Mehr products to apply on my skin. My mind was running backwards and forwards, what if this vampire doesn’t like me? I mean i know she loves Jackson but I’m sure that when we told her we are engaged she would Bewegen on wouldn’t she?
“Dis Du need to stop worrying your going to speed up your physical aging time”
I cringed as a mental picture of me at the age of 20 with wrinkles and what have Du ran through my head
“Jesus Louise, if i could heave i think i would have” Lenete laughed
“Sorry” i looked at the floor in embarrassment
“Don’t apologise, just look at yourself in the mirror” I did as she asked. The woman in the mirror was sophisticated, elegant and most of all beautiful, not as beautiful as Lilly, Lenete oder Aurelia but pretty, prettier than the girls at school especially Nikki, i would have to talk to her one Tag at school after i have Jackson and Lenete make me pretty again, maybe i can have a human friend?
“Sure Du can Du only hang out with us how do Du know that people want to hang out with Du when Du don’t talk to them?”
“Good point” i smiled, i had been placed in a pair of black ballet wohnungen and my hair was done casually on my head “so are Erika and Isabella here yet?”
“They just arrived Erika’s um... catching up with Jackson but Jackson doesn’t want to catch up, and a strange thing has happened with Isabella you’ll see when Du go downstairs”
“Oh i see, well lets go” i grabbed her hand and ran only to be overtaken Von Lenete as she laughed and pulled me along. We came to a sudden stop and i thumped into Lenete’s back. The karamell haired vampire that was seated on the couch, and as my vision returned i could see she was trying to all but sit on Jackson lap and Jackson was cringing away from her. I gasped and she looked up at me. The purple of her eyes was darker then everyone else’s in the room whose were a bright purple. Hers were almost black. The black haired girl was standing Weiter to Dimytri with her arms wrapped around his waist, Dimytri’s chin rested on her head; she stood at around 5’2” and looked tiny Weiter to Dimytri’s tall figure. Her features were pixie like and well proportioned. Dimytri smiled at me and hugged Isabella closer to him”
“Oh i see something strange i see now, they fell in love, is she still going with Erika’s plan?”
“No, don’t talk please”
“Okay” i felt a full scale panic attack creeping into my system
“We would like to take Du hunting it must of been a long time since Du hunted last” Jackson heard my thoughts and my need to talk to him out loud and he reacted straight away.
“Oh yes, last time we hunted was about a week Vor i was just to directed on seeing Du Jackson” she stood “ Are Du coming Jay?” she looked at me she was exactly like the Greene’s beautiful only she was evil and they weren’t. Her voice was the sort of voice that belongs to a mother, gentle and calming. Jackson looked at me and i childishly looked away.
“No thank you, I believe Jasper and his family need to hunt, what with my fiancée living here now” Jackson smiled at me; i weakened under his gaze i had to smile back.
“Oh your engaged that wonderful” Isabella’s sarcasm was obvious and i began to get annoyed with her voice.
“Jackson please”
“Okay”
“Well you’d better be off if Du want to be back in time to get to Yehera”
“Yes we should, care to lead Erika?” Lilly was obviously in on the plan. Erika took off after sending one evil glance in my direction. Lilly, Nafron, jasper and Aurelia, Heidi, Dimytri kissed Isabella and followed them leaving Jackson, Lenete and I alone. Lenete’s eye flicked between Jackson and i.
“I think I’ll leave Du two alone, Du are engaged now right” she laughed and walked upstairs
“Out of the house please Lenny” Jackson corrected her
“Oh right silly me” she smiled and took off after the others. I stared at Jackson who had a low, playful growl rumbling in his chest. I took a step backwards holding my hands up in front of me. I turned and laughed as i began running up the stairs only to catch my foot on the first step, cool arms stopped me from hitting the floor. He smiled at me the growl still playing around in his chest. He placed me down at the oben, nach oben of the stairs. I laughed as he cocked his head to the side, raised his eyebrows, smiled the crooked uneven smile i Liebe and growled. I started running again and turn into our bedroom closing the door behind me and locking it knowing i would never be able to hold the door against him.
“Fe Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of the girl i love” Jackson sagte in a deep husky voice, I laughed out loud and so hard that i had to hold my stomach. Jackson laughed on the other side of the door. I cupped my hand over my face and ran to the wardrobe; i opened the door quietly and ran into Lenete's room. I opened the bedroom door without taking my eyes off the wardrobe i backed out of the doorway and shut the door before being ensnared in a pair of cool arms holding me to his chest. Jackson kissed my neck and grazed his teeth along my jaw. I laughed and turned, running a bit to fast to process the glass Wand screaming towards me
“Dis stop” Jackson called but it was too late, i hit the Wand forehead first. Blood dribbled down between my eyes and dripped off my nose.
“Opps” i mumbled, Jackson laughed “stay there I’m bleeding I’ll go to the bathroom”
“Not a chance, Du stay where Du are” Jackson laughed grabbing the first aid bag from Nafron’s office. I felt my forehead for my cut it was just above my eyebrow and bleeding heavily. The room started to sway i slid down the Wand until i was sitting, i closed my eyes and breathed through my mouth.
“Are Du okay?”
“No go away” i mumbled i looked and found Isabella with the first aid kit in her hands
“Sorry i can’t do that, i was literally ordered Von your fiancée to stay with you, here put this on your clothes Du look pretty in what you’re wearing. We don’t to have to change you” she smiled and handed me a towel.
“You can leave Du know, there’s no need to punish yourself”
“No its okay, human blood doesn’t bother me i lived of animal blood for a lot longer than human so... Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, your blood is different so I’m fine” she smiled again and rubbed alcohol on my cut, it stung and i jerked away “sorry” she dabbed it to my head again and i tightened my muscles so i wouldn’t move.
“So Du and Dimytri, what’s with that?”
“Oh you’ll know all about what i feel for him, i actually came here with Erika and when i saw your brother i guess-”
“You fell in love”
“You could say that, it’s a bit different for us, when Du change you’ll realise what i mean”
“But i Liebe Jackson now”
“Yes Du do, but for Vampire it’s a lot Mehr than that, it’s difficult to explain but you’ll realise what i mean when he changes you”
“Stronger than love... wow that must be a lot” i mumbled She smiled and gently patted a bandaid to my head.
“There now can Du walk oder do Du want me to carry you?” I tried to push myself off the floor but my head felt like it weighed a million pounds “ I think I’ll need to carry you”
“Thank Du Isabella I’ll do that” Jackson came up the stairs with a glass of water and two Panadols
“Okay sure, take it easy Daisi”
“Dis” i called out after her “ow” i yelped
“What am i going to do with you?”
“Kiss me” I laughed as he pulled me into the safe, sicher wiege of his arms. He kissed me lightly on the nose. I laughed again and rested my head on his shoulder as he walked down the stairs at human speed. I heard laughter and squeals. Jackson turned the corner and laid out in front of me were suitcases and bags of clothes, Lilly was collecting money from the nearest resource and Nafron was on the phone.
“What’s going on?”
“We’re going ‘camping’ Nafron says the weather will be sunny for about 4 days so we decided to actually go camping-” Jackson kissed me again knowing i hated camping-
“No we are not going camping... eww, we are going glamping” Lenete smiled at me, her arms full of my neatly folded clothes.
“What’s Glamping?”
“its camping only it’s glamorous” she smiled at me again as she began stacking my clothes into my rosa tartan suitcase. I spied my familiar bag of toiletries sitting to the side of my clothes and several pairs of shoes. I sighed.
“Come on lets clean Du up we’ll be leaving for yehera soon then were off to Tirana for glamping” he smiled emphasising the word and walked up the stairs.
“What’s with the human speed Du hate human speed”
“Your what’s with the human speed, Du have just Lost at least half a litre of blood, fast movements aren’t good for you”
“Ah i see, well can i at least walk I'm losing blood flow to my legs” he chuckled and put me on my feet only to have to catch me again. Jackson laughed out loud and i scowled at him. I started walking monitoring every step i took.
The laughter became quieter down stairs oder maybe it was just the simple fact that my head was rested on Jackson naked chest and i was completely absorbed Von the matter of he would soon be mine forever, Jackson didn’t answer my thoughts he left me free to think. It had been roughly a week since I'd spoken to my mother last and it wasn’t the best conversation. I had a set datum in mind for our wedding and there was no point in me even thinking about details, Lenete wouldn’t listen. Jackson laughed and i giggled along with him. Jackson and i were soon to be husband and wife. I smiled and sighed as Lenete called us down stairs.
We piled into the car i rested my head on Jackson’s shoulder and Lenete stared at the laptop seated on her lap with an angry expression on her face and scrolled through the long Liste of wedding dresses. Lilly’s hand stretched across the car and clasped Nafron’s hand.
Lenete slid a white dress over my head, snug but tight on all my curves, flaring out at my hips with layers and layers of mesh covered in gathered silk. Diamond’s sewn on in elegant swirls enhances my curves. Strappy white heels with Mehr diamonds sewn on were strapped onto my feet and i could actually feel the pain they caused my feet. My hair was in a soft crown on my head. There was a squealing of tyres and i woke. Lenete’s frown was gone replaced Von a smile, Jackson was rolling his eyes.
“She can’t wear that now I’ve seen her in it”
“I’ll modify it, but it’s perfect, Lilly we have her dress”
“Oh let me see”
“It’s Daisi’s own design, she just dreamt it, and I’ll plan it on the way to Tirana”
“Oh lovely that’s a nice idea, i cannot wait to see it” Lilly was beaming.
* * *
Laughter was emanating from everyone, the Essen was delicious everyone was having fun. The glocke on the door jingled repeatedly as someone entered oder left the restaurant. I’m my opinion see everyone having fun like this around the kreis tabelle covered in a red tabelle cloth and many plates of different foods laid out on the table. We looked like a family a very happy family.
“I agree we do like that don’t we” I snorted and cuddled myself tighter into Jackson side.
“Yes we do” Lenete laughed from across the tabelle “only Heidi and i are the only ones without a... Du know significant other” Every one erupted into fits of laughter and Lenete scowled. She hated being without a partner. She stuck her tongue out at me, i laughed even harder. Conversation continued and so did the laughter and we were soon the only ones left in the restaurant.
The car ride to Tirana was quiet, Musik playing softly from the CD player. Lilly and Nafron were talking quieter than the music. Lenete on her laptop drawing a guide for the dress i had dreamt of, Jackson humming quietly and me well i was staring off into space. My mind was blank while trees flew past and the sun setting behind them. Jackson’s humming came to an abrupt stop as he laughed quietly. I looked at him.
“I’ll tell Du later”
“Okay, how long until we get there?”
“About an hour”
“What about Vampire speed” Lenete laughed at my statement and concentrated harder on her screen
“Normal speed takes about two days to get there, Du can do the math right”
I laughed and hugged him
“I Liebe you” i mumbled before i fell asleep
“I Liebe Du too Dis forever and Always”
The chill ran through my veins and i shivered. I hugged the blanket closer to my skin and the bett shifted the coolness suddenly left me and my eyes flew open. Jackson was sitting in a chair across the room.
“Why are Du over there?” my voice was husky and i could barely see him
“You got cold with me lying with you” he’s voice was pained like he hated the distance his cold skin caused us especially in winter.
“Grab another blanket and come back” i smiled and buried myself into my blanket. I felt the weight of another blanket and the bett shift beside me. I twisted so i could see his face. He was just the same as yesterday only his eyes were a fraction darker and the shadows under them were Mehr prominent against his skin. My fingers trailed the shadows.
“You need to hunt” i told him
“I can wait besides if i leave Du now something’s bound to happen”
“Oh am i that incapable”
“With Du we’ll never know” He laughed and kissed my nose.
“I don’t want Du to be suffering over my-“
“Gravitational pull to bad things?” he interrupted
“Yes that” i laughed “Look I'll spend the Tag with Lenete she can protect me just as much as you, so Du can go hunt with who ever else will go”
“Maybe... But Du should sleep”
“What’s the time?” I mumbled trying to Requisiten myself up on my elbow to see the clock.
“About two in the morning”
“Wow... I Liebe you” i mumbled as i put my head back on the kissen
“I Liebe Du too now sleep” He kissed my neck and nuzzled through my hair until his cheek rested on my neck. I sighed and rested a hand on his head “Forever and always” were the last words i heard before unconsciousness took me.
The aisle was short and Jackson stood several feet away from me, Jasper and Dimytri behind him. Lenete and Isabella were dancing down the aisle; Lilly was at the Piano playing softly. I had asked her not to play the wedding march – i cry when i hear that tune- Nafron Smiled at me and i weaved my arm through his. He took a single step and i followed. I was well aware of the presence of my father probably standing on my other side. His invisible hand pressed tenderly to my forearm. I opened my mouth in shock as i saw my mother sitting in the front row a panicked and fretting expression on her face. She looked at me and smiled, a tear ran down her cheek. The room had layers and layers of Blumen – Lenete’s idea- the Blumen created a pleasant and loving smell that enveloped everyone. Fairy lights hung around the room with white ribbon and balloons. Simple and elegant is what i asked for and i pleased that Lenete had stuck to it. Jackson looked stunning in his traditional black tux with a red blume pinned to his lapel. The aisle came to an end; Nafron gently picked up my hand and placed it on Jackson’s. My father’s invisible lips pressed to my cheek. The familiar cool silkiness of Jackson hand sagte i was home. I was his forever and he was mine. Our vows were simple, because that’s what our relationships is, Simple. Jackson kissed my nose leaving a tickling feeling. I smiled; the tickling feeling still itched my nose, like a fly walking across your skin. I itched my nose and the feeling stopped and then started again. Lenete laughed as i swatted my face again. I woke Lenete literally rolling on the floor laughing, Jackson stood protectively in front of me and i well i had cream smeared across my face. I flushed red, Jackson growled deep and husky, a familiar growl, his playful growl. Guessing Von the look on Lenete’s face she didn’t know it was that. She stopped laughing and disappeared ‘chicken’ i thought directing my thoughts to Lenete. She hissed loud enough for me to hear.
“Weird Blonde” i mumbled, Jackson had relaxed now that i was no longer in danger of hurting myself Von Lenete's doing.
“i Agree” He laughed and scooped me up in one arm “Is that really how Du envisioned it?”
“Envisioned what?” Confusion was thick in my voice.
“The wedding” He smiled as he patted a damp cloth to my face cleaning my face of cream remanets
“Ah... Well i guess i can dream as much as i want Lenete will plan some big black tie event and my say won’t even be—”
“Lenete thought your simple idea was worth it, she doesn’t want to make Du unhappy but also sagte that our first marriage can be simple and in fifty years time she’ll plan another wedding and your say will be meaningless” He smiled and laughed.
“Daisi... Visitor” Dimytri’s voice bounced off the walls and upstairs. I stared at Jackson i had no clue on who it could have been. My mother wouldn’t have come here; it had to be some one from Treshone because most of the students knew i lived with the Greene’s. It was a small town so word travelled fast.
“Daisi!” Dimytri warned.
“Coming” i sagte back. I ran down the stairs clinging to the rail for dear life. I pulled to a stop in front of the door, Dimytri hovered over my shoulder. I turned to him and dismissively waved my hand at him; He mocked saluted me and walked off. I wiped a stray hair out of my eyes and pulled the door open.
“Nikki? What are Du doing here? How did Du know we were up here?” Standing at the door was Nikki the most beliebt girl at school. Her Brown hair was pulled back and her brown eyes were surrounded Von too much eye shadow. She flipped her hair behind her ear. I wanted to know how she knew where we were.
“More importantly what are Du doing here?” she scoffed looking me up and down.
“So Du haven’t heard yet?”
“Heard what?” she glared at me “and why didn’t that boy get Jackson for me?”
“Nikki, i live with the Greene’s now and I'm guessing Jackson didn’t answer the door” I took a deep breath in “because he’s not here”
“Jackson” i thought
“Yes, Liebe i heard Du i won’t be seen”
“Thank you, I Liebe you”
“I Liebe Du too, Dis she’s talking to you”
“Hello, earth to really weird person” i looked at her and smiled “Where is he?”
“I know where he is, but i need to know your reasons for seeing him” i pressed a hand to my chin, her eyes widened and locked on my hand, and then i remembered and crossed my arms over my chest.
“So you’re still together?”
“Why is it any of your concern?”
“Just tell me where he is” she pointed at me and raised her voice
“Ladies do we have a problem here?” Jasper walked up behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I’m sure Nikki would have fallen over if she wasn’t clinging to the door frame.
“W... “She stuttered and jasper rolled his eyes at me.
“If Du have no reason to be here could Du please leave, Dis has a few things to do” jasper nodded to her
“I need to talk to Jackson” she finally spoke shaking her head
“I’m sorry but Jackson is out Du will have to wait until he is back oder go back to school and wait until we go back”
“No! I need to see him now”
“How did Du know where we were” i was confused and needed to know
“I’m not talking to you”
“Fine Nikki I’m here now what do Du want” Jackson walked up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist.
“I need to speak to Du alone” Nikki mumbled looking at the ground
“I’ll be right back” I spoke in my head
“Tell me everything”
“I promise you”
“Okay... Dis, Jasper can Du please leave us” Jasper put an arm over my shoulder and steered me to the fireplace and sat me down in front of it. The red flames licked around each other, dancing and playing shadows on the walls. I was never much of a dancer and i envied the flames, perfectly synchronized. Not breaking one step in their dance. I stood up and placed my hands on the invisible person in front of me, who i pretended was Jackson and closed my eyes. I was well aware of Jasper watching me dance around the lounge room without a partner and i was well aware of all the footing mistakes i was making. But i didn’t care. I spun around gradually getting better with my foot work. I spun around the lounge room. I heard the soft pats of several pairs of feet walking towards the lounge room. My audience grew but no one interrupted me. The song in my head came to an end; i opened my eyes and i was staring out the window. My eyebrows knitted together as i turned to face my audience. Jackson smiled and took a step forward. My eyes travelled to everyone in the room.
“Absolutely amazing” Jackson whispered
“What?” i looked behind me following Jackson gaze. Jackson placed a hand on my hip and clasped my hand in his and spun me around. He pulled me in close and began humming he spun around each other oblivious to our audience. Lilly leaned against the door frame smiling. Most of the family dispersed to do their own thing. Nafron hugged Lilly and spun her around and began dancing as well. I rested my head on Jackson chest swaying in time with him. We continued dancing well into the night. I ignored the growl of my stomach until Jackson insisted i eat, he cook me too much Essen and i fell asleep. Jackson cuddled me and hummed my tune.
Lenete and Lilly had thrown themselves into planning my wedding, my mother was ignoring me, Jackson and I had Mehr alone time and my weird behaviour had come back. It has been exactly one week since i went weird the Sekunde time, Jackson has been spending a lot of the time we aren’t alone with Lilly and Nafron, review what could be happening and the powers of Vampire that are currently roaming. I avoided this research unless they uncovered something I’d rather not know.
I was doing assignments when i heard Lenete scream Dimytri’s name. I trudged my way down stairs. Lenete had a pair of high heels in her hand, only they couldn’t be called high any more. Dimytri was shaking with laughter at his sister’s attempts to hurt him.
‘Why were Du wearing my shoes in the first place?” Lenete screamed at him, Dimytri didn’t answer instead he laughter louder and ran out side.
“O.kay what was that all about?”
“Nothing... young lady why are Du awake you’re supposed to be healing”
“Yea well when Du sleep for 18 hours and your human Du kinda need to pee some time” i smiled and walked off.
“Wait Dis, um Lilly and Nafron found out something an—”
“Can Du wait until i finish on the toilet oder you’ll have a floor to clean”
“Oh yes okay” Lenete smiled and gracefully fell into the lounge and picked up a magazine.
My head buzzed around the few words Lenete had sagte ‘Lilly and Nafron found out something’ does that mean that something’s wrong with me? Fragen Fragen Fragen and all these Fragen were going through my head at once.
“Okay now what is it that Lilly and Nafron found?” i called as i carefully stepped off the last step
“It’s a vampire Daisi, One of our old friends; she used to like Jackson she’s coming here, now she’ll be here in about two days but that’s not all –”
“Daisi, Where are you, Family Meeting NOW!” Jackson roared from upstairs
“I’m down here” i sagte knowing he would hear me. He appeared and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
“Family meeting its important” he kissed me lightly and carried me to the kitchen, sitting me down on the chair Weiter to his. I held his hand tracing circles above his thumb. Every vampire in the room had a serious, business like face on them.
“Her name is Erika, I knew her, we all knew her and we all knew that she was in Liebe with Jackson but Jackson didn’t feel the same way, she now has a follower, Erika changed her about 10 years ago, Her name is Isabella, she is the only vampire known able to shape shift, Erika has lied to her about the relationship between Jackson and Daisi, so Isabella believes that Jackson left Erika for Daisi so they are coming her to—” Jackson coughed to stopped Nafron who began telling all those who didn’t know – only me- about the vampire we were dealing with “Her ability to erase memories and cause the things that have been happening to Daisi and have happened to Her mother,” He simplified it for my slow human brain.
“Wait this Erika has been doing this to me?”
“Yes and she and Isabella are coming here and we have a plan” Jackson hushed me
“No we don’t”
“Yes we do Daisi we spent most of the afternoon going over it”
“I don’t know it so how do we have a plan”
“Dis Liebe Du are the plan” Jackson squeezed my hand lightly.
“I... don’t understand” my eyelids closed on their on account. I felt myself being carried up to the bedroom and placed on the bed. Jackson wrapped is arms around me as i fell asleep. But sleep didn’t come; i lay in Jackson arms with my eyes closed i was careful not to think so Jackson would believe i was asleep.
“I know your not asleep Dis” i forced my eyes open. I turned over in Jackson arms and looked into his eyes.
“How am i the plan?”
“Nafron has seen that Du will befriend her and—” my eyes closed and sleep came this time.
“I don’t know what to do, i feel so hopeless” Jackson’s worry was obvious in his voice
“Son they will be here in less than half and Stunde don’t tell her, we will work around what they chose”
“I can’t help but have the feeling of wanting to kill them as soon as they step foot on the driveway”
“I don’t understand why do Du want to kill them?”
“Don’t judge me Father but Erika wants to kill Daisi, she thinks that if she kills Dis i will Liebe her, little does she know that killing Dis, is like her committing suicide”
Their whisper got quieter as i woke.
“Good afternoon, come on Du need to shower, we will have visitors soon” i nodded i still felt groggy from my Tag and a half of sleep. Jackson must have realised this, he held my waist as i walked to the bathroom, and he adjusted the water until it was suitable for me. Jackson was always the gentleman; he gently pulled my silk tank oben, nach oben and tiny shorts off but left my underclothes on. He lifted me over the edge of the bath and held me so i wouldn’t fall over. When i was showered, Jackson pulled me out of the shower, soaking his clothes in the process; he disappeared for a Sekunde and returned with a set of clothes for me. He left for a moment so i could change my underclothes. He returned when i tapped on the door, i held my hands over my head as he pulled on a frilly collared shirt; he lifted up my leg and pulled on a pair of jeans. In his hands he held a dressy vest. I wove my arms into the arm holes and pulled on a lacy wool knee length dress coat. I stared into the mirror at the sophisticated women standing in the bathroom with a soaked man Weiter to her.
“Lenete wants to do your hair and your shoes, she practically threw a fit when i sagte i would pick your clothes” i nodded and he kissed me lightly before disappearing.
“Lenete” i called, she soon knocked on the door “come in”
“Wow look at Du and all were doing is taking evil Vampire to dinner, come on lets finish Du off” i laughed
“You make me sound like dinner”
“If Du don’t ask Jackson to dress Du again Du will be”
“Wait Du want Jackson to dress me”
“Yea of course i mean look at Du he dress Du better than Du do”
“Thanks Lenny, can we get this over with?” she laughed and sat me down in the purple chair that was situated in front of a bench and mirror in our wardrobe, she worked with my hair quietly only answering my thoughts.
I didn’t want to look in the mirror so i kept my eyes closed concentrating on Lenete’s feather light touch on my hair. She zipped around the room dancing, spinning and twirling as she gathered Mehr products to apply on my skin. My mind was running backwards and forwards, what if this vampire doesn’t like me? I mean i know she loves Jackson but I’m sure that when we told her we are engaged she would Bewegen on wouldn’t she?
“Dis Du need to stop worrying your going to speed up your physical aging time”
I cringed as a mental picture of me at the age of 20 with wrinkles and what have Du ran through my head
“Jesus Louise, if i could heave i think i would have” Lenete laughed
“Sorry” i looked at the floor in embarrassment
“Don’t apologise, just look at yourself in the mirror” I did as she asked. The woman in the mirror was sophisticated, elegant and most of all beautiful, not as beautiful as Lilly, Lenete oder Aurelia but pretty, prettier than the girls at school especially Nikki, i would have to talk to her one Tag at school after i have Jackson and Lenete make me pretty again, maybe i can have a human friend?
“Sure Du can Du only hang out with us how do Du know that people want to hang out with Du when Du don’t talk to them?”
“Good point” i smiled, i had been placed in a pair of black ballet wohnungen and my hair was done casually on my head “so are Erika and Isabella here yet?”
“They just arrived Erika’s um... catching up with Jackson but Jackson doesn’t want to catch up, and a strange thing has happened with Isabella you’ll see when Du go downstairs”
“Oh i see, well lets go” i grabbed her hand and ran only to be overtaken Von Lenete as she laughed and pulled me along. We came to a sudden stop and i thumped into Lenete’s back. The karamell haired vampire that was seated on the couch, and as my vision returned i could see she was trying to all but sit on Jackson lap and Jackson was cringing away from her. I gasped and she looked up at me. The purple of her eyes was darker then everyone else’s in the room whose were a bright purple. Hers were almost black. The black haired girl was standing Weiter to Dimytri with her arms wrapped around his waist, Dimytri’s chin rested on her head; she stood at around 5’2” and looked tiny Weiter to Dimytri’s tall figure. Her features were pixie like and well proportioned. Dimytri smiled at me and hugged Isabella closer to him”
“Oh i see something strange i see now, they fell in love, is she still going with Erika’s plan?”
“No, don’t talk please”
“Okay” i felt a full scale panic attack creeping into my system
“We would like to take Du hunting it must of been a long time since Du hunted last” Jackson heard my thoughts and my need to talk to him out loud and he reacted straight away.
“Oh yes, last time we hunted was about a week Vor i was just to directed on seeing Du Jackson” she stood “ Are Du coming Jay?” she looked at me she was exactly like the Greene’s beautiful only she was evil and they weren’t. Her voice was the sort of voice that belongs to a mother, gentle and calming. Jackson looked at me and i childishly looked away.
“No thank you, I believe Jasper and his family need to hunt, what with my fiancée living here now” Jackson smiled at me; i weakened under his gaze i had to smile back.
“Oh your engaged that wonderful” Isabella’s sarcasm was obvious and i began to get annoyed with her voice.
“Jackson please”
“Okay”
“Well you’d better be off if Du want to be back in time to get to Yehera”
“Yes we should, care to lead Erika?” Lilly was obviously in on the plan. Erika took off after sending one evil glance in my direction. Lilly, Nafron, jasper and Aurelia, Heidi, Dimytri kissed Isabella and followed them leaving Jackson, Lenete and I alone. Lenete’s eye flicked between Jackson and i.
“I think I’ll leave Du two alone, Du are engaged now right” she laughed and walked upstairs
“Out of the house please Lenny” Jackson corrected her
“Oh right silly me” she smiled and took off after the others. I stared at Jackson who had a low, playful growl rumbling in his chest. I took a step backwards holding my hands up in front of me. I turned and laughed as i began running up the stairs only to catch my foot on the first step, cool arms stopped me from hitting the floor. He smiled at me the growl still playing around in his chest. He placed me down at the oben, nach oben of the stairs. I laughed as he cocked his head to the side, raised his eyebrows, smiled the crooked uneven smile i Liebe and growled. I started running again and turn into our bedroom closing the door behind me and locking it knowing i would never be able to hold the door against him.
“Fe Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of the girl i love” Jackson sagte in a deep husky voice, I laughed out loud and so hard that i had to hold my stomach. Jackson laughed on the other side of the door. I cupped my hand over my face and ran to the wardrobe; i opened the door quietly and ran into Lenete's room. I opened the bedroom door without taking my eyes off the wardrobe i backed out of the doorway and shut the door before being ensnared in a pair of cool arms holding me to his chest. Jackson kissed my neck and grazed his teeth along my jaw. I laughed and turned, running a bit to fast to process the glass Wand screaming towards me
“Dis stop” Jackson called but it was too late, i hit the Wand forehead first. Blood dribbled down between my eyes and dripped off my nose.
“Opps” i mumbled, Jackson laughed “stay there I’m bleeding I’ll go to the bathroom”
“Not a chance, Du stay where Du are” Jackson laughed grabbing the first aid bag from Nafron’s office. I felt my forehead for my cut it was just above my eyebrow and bleeding heavily. The room started to sway i slid down the Wand until i was sitting, i closed my eyes and breathed through my mouth.
“Are Du okay?”
“No go away” i mumbled i looked and found Isabella with the first aid kit in her hands
“Sorry i can’t do that, i was literally ordered Von your fiancée to stay with you, here put this on your clothes Du look pretty in what you’re wearing. We don’t to have to change you” she smiled and handed me a towel.
“You can leave Du know, there’s no need to punish yourself”
“No its okay, human blood doesn’t bother me i lived of animal blood for a lot longer than human so... Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, your blood is different so I’m fine” she smiled again and rubbed alcohol on my cut, it stung and i jerked away “sorry” she dabbed it to my head again and i tightened my muscles so i wouldn’t move.
“So Du and Dimytri, what’s with that?”
“Oh you’ll know all about what i feel for him, i actually came here with Erika and when i saw your brother i guess-”
“You fell in love”
“You could say that, it’s a bit different for us, when Du change you’ll realise what i mean”
“But i Liebe Jackson now”
“Yes Du do, but for Vampire it’s a lot Mehr than that, it’s difficult to explain but you’ll realise what i mean when he changes you”
“Stronger than love... wow that must be a lot” i mumbled She smiled and gently patted a bandaid to my head.
“There now can Du walk oder do Du want me to carry you?” I tried to push myself off the floor but my head felt like it weighed a million pounds “ I think I’ll need to carry you”
“Thank Du Isabella I’ll do that” Jackson came up the stairs with a glass of water and two Panadols
“Okay sure, take it easy Daisi”
“Dis” i called out after her “ow” i yelped
“What am i going to do with you?”
“Kiss me” I laughed as he pulled me into the safe, sicher wiege of his arms. He kissed me lightly on the nose. I laughed again and rested my head on his shoulder as he walked down the stairs at human speed. I heard laughter and squeals. Jackson turned the corner and laid out in front of me were suitcases and bags of clothes, Lilly was collecting money from the nearest resource and Nafron was on the phone.
“What’s going on?”
“We’re going ‘camping’ Nafron says the weather will be sunny for about 4 days so we decided to actually go camping-” Jackson kissed me again knowing i hated camping-
“No we are not going camping... eww, we are going glamping” Lenete smiled at me, her arms full of my neatly folded clothes.
“What’s Glamping?”
“its camping only it’s glamorous” she smiled at me again as she began stacking my clothes into my rosa tartan suitcase. I spied my familiar bag of toiletries sitting to the side of my clothes and several pairs of shoes. I sighed.
“Come on lets clean Du up we’ll be leaving for yehera soon then were off to Tirana for glamping” he smiled emphasising the word and walked up the stairs.
“What’s with the human speed Du hate human speed”
“Your what’s with the human speed, Du have just Lost at least half a litre of blood, fast movements aren’t good for you”
“Ah i see, well can i at least walk I'm losing blood flow to my legs” he chuckled and put me on my feet only to have to catch me again. Jackson laughed out loud and i scowled at him. I started walking monitoring every step i took.
The laughter became quieter down stairs oder maybe it was just the simple fact that my head was rested on Jackson naked chest and i was completely absorbed Von the matter of he would soon be mine forever, Jackson didn’t answer my thoughts he left me free to think. It had been roughly a week since I'd spoken to my mother last and it wasn’t the best conversation. I had a set datum in mind for our wedding and there was no point in me even thinking about details, Lenete wouldn’t listen. Jackson laughed and i giggled along with him. Jackson and i were soon to be husband and wife. I smiled and sighed as Lenete called us down stairs.
We piled into the car i rested my head on Jackson’s shoulder and Lenete stared at the laptop seated on her lap with an angry expression on her face and scrolled through the long Liste of wedding dresses. Lilly’s hand stretched across the car and clasped Nafron’s hand.
Lenete slid a white dress over my head, snug but tight on all my curves, flaring out at my hips with layers and layers of mesh covered in gathered silk. Diamond’s sewn on in elegant swirls enhances my curves. Strappy white heels with Mehr diamonds sewn on were strapped onto my feet and i could actually feel the pain they caused my feet. My hair was in a soft crown on my head. There was a squealing of tyres and i woke. Lenete’s frown was gone replaced Von a smile, Jackson was rolling his eyes.
“She can’t wear that now I’ve seen her in it”
“I’ll modify it, but it’s perfect, Lilly we have her dress”
“Oh let me see”
“It’s Daisi’s own design, she just dreamt it, and I’ll plan it on the way to Tirana”
“Oh lovely that’s a nice idea, i cannot wait to see it” Lilly was beaming.
* * *
Laughter was emanating from everyone, the Essen was delicious everyone was having fun. The glocke on the door jingled repeatedly as someone entered oder left the restaurant. I’m my opinion see everyone having fun like this around the kreis tabelle covered in a red tabelle cloth and many plates of different foods laid out on the table. We looked like a family a very happy family.
“I agree we do like that don’t we” I snorted and cuddled myself tighter into Jackson side.
“Yes we do” Lenete laughed from across the tabelle “only Heidi and i are the only ones without a... Du know significant other” Every one erupted into fits of laughter and Lenete scowled. She hated being without a partner. She stuck her tongue out at me, i laughed even harder. Conversation continued and so did the laughter and we were soon the only ones left in the restaurant.
The car ride to Tirana was quiet, Musik playing softly from the CD player. Lilly and Nafron were talking quieter than the music. Lenete on her laptop drawing a guide for the dress i had dreamt of, Jackson humming quietly and me well i was staring off into space. My mind was blank while trees flew past and the sun setting behind them. Jackson’s humming came to an abrupt stop as he laughed quietly. I looked at him.
“I’ll tell Du later”
“Okay, how long until we get there?”
“About an hour”
“What about Vampire speed” Lenete laughed at my statement and concentrated harder on her screen
“Normal speed takes about two days to get there, Du can do the math right”
I laughed and hugged him
“I Liebe you” i mumbled before i fell asleep
“I Liebe Du too Dis forever and Always”
The chill ran through my veins and i shivered. I hugged the blanket closer to my skin and the bett shifted the coolness suddenly left me and my eyes flew open. Jackson was sitting in a chair across the room.
“Why are Du over there?” my voice was husky and i could barely see him
“You got cold with me lying with you” he’s voice was pained like he hated the distance his cold skin caused us especially in winter.
“Grab another blanket and come back” i smiled and buried myself into my blanket. I felt the weight of another blanket and the bett shift beside me. I twisted so i could see his face. He was just the same as yesterday only his eyes were a fraction darker and the shadows under them were Mehr prominent against his skin. My fingers trailed the shadows.
“You need to hunt” i told him
“I can wait besides if i leave Du now something’s bound to happen”
“Oh am i that incapable”
“With Du we’ll never know” He laughed and kissed my nose.
“I don’t want Du to be suffering over my-“
“Gravitational pull to bad things?” he interrupted
“Yes that” i laughed “Look I'll spend the Tag with Lenete she can protect me just as much as you, so Du can go hunt with who ever else will go”
“Maybe... But Du should sleep”
“What’s the time?” I mumbled trying to Requisiten myself up on my elbow to see the clock.
“About two in the morning”
“Wow... I Liebe you” i mumbled as i put my head back on the kissen
“I Liebe Du too now sleep” He kissed my neck and nuzzled through my hair until his cheek rested on my neck. I sighed and rested a hand on his head “Forever and always” were the last words i heard before unconsciousness took me.
The aisle was short and Jackson stood several feet away from me, Jasper and Dimytri behind him. Lenete and Isabella were dancing down the aisle; Lilly was at the Piano playing softly. I had asked her not to play the wedding march – i cry when i hear that tune- Nafron Smiled at me and i weaved my arm through his. He took a single step and i followed. I was well aware of the presence of my father probably standing on my other side. His invisible hand pressed tenderly to my forearm. I opened my mouth in shock as i saw my mother sitting in the front row a panicked and fretting expression on her face. She looked at me and smiled, a tear ran down her cheek. The room had layers and layers of Blumen – Lenete’s idea- the Blumen created a pleasant and loving smell that enveloped everyone. Fairy lights hung around the room with white ribbon and balloons. Simple and elegant is what i asked for and i pleased that Lenete had stuck to it. Jackson looked stunning in his traditional black tux with a red blume pinned to his lapel. The aisle came to an end; Nafron gently picked up my hand and placed it on Jackson’s. My father’s invisible lips pressed to my cheek. The familiar cool silkiness of Jackson hand sagte i was home. I was his forever and he was mine. Our vows were simple, because that’s what our relationships is, Simple. Jackson kissed my nose leaving a tickling feeling. I smiled; the tickling feeling still itched my nose, like a fly walking across your skin. I itched my nose and the feeling stopped and then started again. Lenete laughed as i swatted my face again. I woke Lenete literally rolling on the floor laughing, Jackson stood protectively in front of me and i well i had cream smeared across my face. I flushed red, Jackson growled deep and husky, a familiar growl, his playful growl. Guessing Von the look on Lenete’s face she didn’t know it was that. She stopped laughing and disappeared ‘chicken’ i thought directing my thoughts to Lenete. She hissed loud enough for me to hear.
“Weird Blonde” i mumbled, Jackson had relaxed now that i was no longer in danger of hurting myself Von Lenete's doing.
“i Agree” He laughed and scooped me up in one arm “Is that really how Du envisioned it?”
“Envisioned what?” Confusion was thick in my voice.
“The wedding” He smiled as he patted a damp cloth to my face cleaning my face of cream remanets
“Ah... Well i guess i can dream as much as i want Lenete will plan some big black tie event and my say won’t even be—”
“Lenete thought your simple idea was worth it, she doesn’t want to make Du unhappy but also sagte that our first marriage can be simple and in fifty years time she’ll plan another wedding and your say will be meaningless” He smiled and laughed.
“Daisi... Visitor” Dimytri’s voice bounced off the walls and upstairs. I stared at Jackson i had no clue on who it could have been. My mother wouldn’t have come here; it had to be some one from Treshone because most of the students knew i lived with the Greene’s. It was a small town so word travelled fast.
“Daisi!” Dimytri warned.
“Coming” i sagte back. I ran down the stairs clinging to the rail for dear life. I pulled to a stop in front of the door, Dimytri hovered over my shoulder. I turned to him and dismissively waved my hand at him; He mocked saluted me and walked off. I wiped a stray hair out of my eyes and pulled the door open.
“Nikki? What are Du doing here? How did Du know we were up here?” Standing at the door was Nikki the most beliebt girl at school. Her Brown hair was pulled back and her brown eyes were surrounded Von too much eye shadow. She flipped her hair behind her ear. I wanted to know how she knew where we were.
“More importantly what are Du doing here?” she scoffed looking me up and down.
“So Du haven’t heard yet?”
“Heard what?” she glared at me “and why didn’t that boy get Jackson for me?”
“Nikki, i live with the Greene’s now and I'm guessing Jackson didn’t answer the door” I took a deep breath in “because he’s not here”
“Jackson” i thought
“Yes, Liebe i heard Du i won’t be seen”
“Thank you, I Liebe you”
“I Liebe Du too, Dis she’s talking to you”
“Hello, earth to really weird person” i looked at her and smiled “Where is he?”
“I know where he is, but i need to know your reasons for seeing him” i pressed a hand to my chin, her eyes widened and locked on my hand, and then i remembered and crossed my arms over my chest.
“So you’re still together?”
“Why is it any of your concern?”
“Just tell me where he is” she pointed at me and raised her voice
“Ladies do we have a problem here?” Jasper walked up behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I’m sure Nikki would have fallen over if she wasn’t clinging to the door frame.
“W... “She stuttered and jasper rolled his eyes at me.
“If Du have no reason to be here could Du please leave, Dis has a few things to do” jasper nodded to her
“I need to talk to Jackson” she finally spoke shaking her head
“I’m sorry but Jackson is out Du will have to wait until he is back oder go back to school and wait until we go back”
“No! I need to see him now”
“How did Du know where we were” i was confused and needed to know
“I’m not talking to you”
“Fine Nikki I’m here now what do Du want” Jackson walked up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist.
“I need to speak to Du alone” Nikki mumbled looking at the ground
“I’ll be right back” I spoke in my head
“Tell me everything”
“I promise you”
“Okay... Dis, Jasper can Du please leave us” Jasper put an arm over my shoulder and steered me to the fireplace and sat me down in front of it. The red flames licked around each other, dancing and playing shadows on the walls. I was never much of a dancer and i envied the flames, perfectly synchronized. Not breaking one step in their dance. I stood up and placed my hands on the invisible person in front of me, who i pretended was Jackson and closed my eyes. I was well aware of Jasper watching me dance around the lounge room without a partner and i was well aware of all the footing mistakes i was making. But i didn’t care. I spun around gradually getting better with my foot work. I spun around the lounge room. I heard the soft pats of several pairs of feet walking towards the lounge room. My audience grew but no one interrupted me. The song in my head came to an end; i opened my eyes and i was staring out the window. My eyebrows knitted together as i turned to face my audience. Jackson smiled and took a step forward. My eyes travelled to everyone in the room.
“Absolutely amazing” Jackson whispered
“What?” i looked behind me following Jackson gaze. Jackson placed a hand on my hip and clasped my hand in his and spun me around. He pulled me in close and began humming he spun around each other oblivious to our audience. Lilly leaned against the door frame smiling. Most of the family dispersed to do their own thing. Nafron hugged Lilly and spun her around and began dancing as well. I rested my head on Jackson chest swaying in time with him. We continued dancing well into the night. I ignored the growl of my stomach until Jackson insisted i eat, he cook me too much Essen and i fell asleep. Jackson cuddled me and hummed my tune.
Havoc
Lenete and Lilly had thrown themselves into planning my wedding, my mother was ignoring me, Jackson and I had Mehr alone time and my weird behaviour had come back. It has been exactly one week since i went weird the Sekunde time, Jackson has been spending a lot of the time we aren’t alone with Lilly and Nafron, review what could be happening and the powers of Vampire that are currently roaming. I avoided this research unless they uncovered something I’d rather not know.
I was doing assignments when i heard Lenete scream Dimytri’s name. I trudged my way down stairs. Lenete had a pair of high heels in her hand, only they couldn’t be called high any more. Dimytri was shaking with laughter at his sister’s attempts to hurt him.
‘Why were Du wearing my shoes in the first place?” Lenete screamed at him, Dimytri didn’t answer instead he laughter louder and ran out side.
“O.kay what was that all about?”
“Nothing... young lady why are Du awake you’re supposed to be healing”
“Yea well when Du sleep for 18 hours and your human Du kinda need to pee some time” i smiled and walked off.
“Wait Dis, um Lilly and Nafron found out something an—”
“Can Du wait until i finish on the toilet oder you’ll have a floor to clean”
“Oh yes okay” Lenete smiled and gracefully fell into the lounge and picked up a magazine.
My head buzzed around the few words Lenete had sagte ‘Lilly and Nafron found out something’ does that mean that something’s wrong with me? Fragen Fragen Fragen and all these Fragen were going through my head at once.
“Okay now what is it that Lilly and Nafron found?” i called as i carefully stepped off the last step
“It’s a vampire Daisi, One of our old friends; she used to like Jackson she’s coming here, now she’ll be here in about two days but that’s not all –”
“Daisi, Where are you, Family Meeting NOW!” Jackson roared from upstairs
“I’m down here” i sagte knowing he would hear me. He appeared and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
“Family meeting its important” he kissed me lightly and carried me to the kitchen, sitting me down on the chair Weiter to his. I held his hand tracing circles above his thumb. Every vampire in the room had a serious, business like face on them.
“Her name is Erika, I knew her, we all knew her and we all knew that she was in Liebe with Jackson but Jackson didn’t feel the same way, she now has a follower, Erika changed her about 10 years ago, Her name is Isabella, she is the only vampire known able to shape shift, Erika has lied to her about the relationship between Jackson and Daisi, so Isabella believes that Jackson left Erika for Daisi so they are coming her to—” Jackson coughed to stopped Nafron who began telling all those who didn’t know – only me- about the vampire we were dealing with “Her ability to erase memories and cause the things that have been happening to Daisi and have happened to Her mother,” He simplified it for my slow human brain.
“Wait this Erika has been doing this to me?”
“Yes and she and Isabella are coming here and we have a plan” Jackson hushed me
“No we don’t”
“Yes we do Daisi we spent most of the afternoon going over it”
“I don’t know it so how do we have a plan”
“Dis Liebe Du are the plan” Jackson squeezed my hand lightly.
“I... don’t understand” my eyelids closed on their on account. I felt myself being carried up to the bedroom and placed on the bed. Jackson wrapped is arms around me as i fell asleep. But sleep didn’t come; i lay in Jackson arms with my eyes closed i was careful not to think so Jackson would believe i was asleep.
“I know your not asleep Dis” i forced my eyes open. I turned over in Jackson arms and looked into his eyes.
“How am i the plan?”
“Nafron has seen that Du will befriend her and—” my eyes closed and sleep came this time.
“I don’t know what to do, i feel so hopeless” Jackson’s worry was obvious in his voice
“Son they will be here in less than half and Stunde don’t tell her, we will work around what they chose”
“I can’t help but have the feeling of wanting to kill them as soon as they step foot on the driveway”
“I don’t understand why do Du want to kill them?”
“Don’t judge me Father but Erika wants to kill Daisi, she thinks that if she kills Dis i will Liebe her, little does she know that killing Dis, is like her committing suicide”
Their whisper got quieter as i woke.
“Good afternoon, come on Du need to shower, we will have visitors soon” i nodded i still felt groggy from my Tag and a half of sleep. Jackson must have realised this, he held my waist as i walked to the bathroom, and he adjusted the water until it was suitable for me. Jackson was always the gentleman; he gently pulled my silk tank oben, nach oben and tiny shorts off but left my underclothes on. He lifted me over the edge of the bath and held me so i wouldn’t fall over. When i was showered, Jackson pulled me out of the shower, soaking his clothes in the process; he disappeared for a Sekunde and returned with a set of clothes for me. He left for a moment so i could change my underclothes. He returned when i tapped on the door, i held my hands over my head as he pulled on a frilly collared shirt; he lifted up my leg and pulled on a pair of jeans. In his hands he held a dressy vest. I wove my arms into the arm holes and pulled on a lacy wool knee length dress coat. I stared into the mirror at the sophisticated women standing in the bathroom with a soaked man Weiter to her.
“Lenete wants to do your hair and your shoes, she practically threw a fit when i sagte i would pick your clothes” i nodded and he kissed me lightly before disappearing.
“Lenete” i called, she soon knocked on the door “come in”
“Wow look at Du and all were doing is taking evil Vampire to dinner, come on lets finish Du off” i laughed
“You make me sound like dinner”
“If Du don’t ask Jackson to dress Du again Du will be”
“Wait Du want Jackson to dress me”
“Yea of course i mean look at Du he dress Du better than Du do”
“Thanks Lenny, can we get this over with?” she laughed and sat me down in the purple chair that was situated in front of a bench and mirror in our wardrobe, she worked with my hair quietly only answering my thoughts.
I didn’t want to look in the mirror so i kept my eyes closed concentrating on Lenete’s feather light touch on my hair. She zipped around the room dancing, spinning and twirling as she gathered Mehr products to apply on my skin. My mind was running backwards and forwards, what if this vampire doesn’t like me? I mean i know she loves Jackson but I’m sure that when we told her we are engaged she would Bewegen on wouldn’t she?
“Dis Du need to stop worrying your going to speed up your physical aging time”
I cringed as a mental picture of me at the age of 20 with wrinkles and what have Du ran through my head
“Jesus Louise, if i could heave i think i would have” Lenete laughed
“Sorry” i looked at the floor in embarrassment
“Don’t apologise, just look at yourself in the mirror” I did as she asked. The woman in the mirror was sophisticated, elegant and most of all beautiful, not as beautiful as Lilly, Lenete oder Aurelia but pretty, prettier than the girls at school especially Nikki, i would have to talk to her one Tag at school after i have Jackson and Lenete make me pretty again, maybe i can have a human friend?
“Sure Du can Du only hang out with us how do Du know that people want to hang out with Du when Du don’t talk to them?”
“Good point” i smiled, i had been placed in a pair of black ballet wohnungen and my hair was done casually on my head “so are Erika and Isabella here yet?”
“They just arrived Erika’s um... catching up with Jackson but Jackson doesn’t want to catch up, and a strange thing has happened with Isabella you’ll see when Du go downstairs”
“Oh i see, well lets go” i grabbed her hand and ran only to be overtaken Von Lenete as she laughed and pulled me along. We came to a sudden stop and i thumped into Lenete’s back. The karamell haired vampire that was seated on the couch, and as my vision returned i could see she was trying to all but sit on Jackson lap and Jackson was cringing away from her. I gasped and she looked up at me. The purple of her eyes was darker then everyone else’s in the room whose were a bright purple. Hers were almost black. The black haired girl was standing Weiter to Dimytri with her arms wrapped around his waist, Dimytri’s chin rested on her head; she stood at around 5’2” and looked tiny Weiter to Dimytri’s tall figure. Her features were pixie like and well proportioned. Dimytri smiled at me and hugged Isabella closer to him”
“Oh i see something strange i see now, they fell in love, is she still going with Erika’s plan?”
“No, don’t talk please”
“Okay” i felt a full scale panic attack creeping into my system
“We would like to take Du hunting it must of been a long time since Du hunted last” Jackson heard my thoughts and my need to talk to him out loud and he reacted straight away.
“Oh yes, last time we hunted was about a week Vor i was just to directed on seeing Du Jackson” she stood “ Are Du coming Jay?” she looked at me she was exactly like the Greene’s beautiful only she was evil and they weren’t. Her voice was the sort of voice that belongs to a mother, gentle and calming. Jackson looked at me and i childishly looked away.
“No thank you, I believe Jasper and his family need to hunt, what with my fiancée living here now” Jackson smiled at me; i weakened under his gaze i had to smile back.
“Oh your engaged that wonderful” Isabella’s sarcasm was obvious and i began to get annoyed with her voice.
“Jackson please”
“Okay”
“Well you’d better be off if Du want to be back in time to get to Yehera”
“Yes we should, care to lead Erika?” Lilly was obviously in on the plan. Erika took off after sending one evil glance in my direction. Lilly, Nafron, jasper and Aurelia, Heidi, Dimytri kissed Isabella and followed them leaving Jackson, Lenete and I alone. Lenete’s eye flicked between Jackson and i.
“I think I’ll leave Du two alone, Du are engaged now right” she laughed and walked upstairs
“Out of the house please Lenny” Jackson corrected her
“Oh right silly me” she smiled and took off after the others. I stared at Jackson who had a low, playful growl rumbling in his chest. I took a step backwards holding my hands up in front of me. I turned and laughed as i began running up the stairs only to catch my foot on the first step, cool arms stopped me from hitting the floor. He smiled at me the growl still playing around in his chest. He placed me down at the oben, nach oben of the stairs. I laughed as he cocked his head to the side, raised his eyebrows, smiled the crooked uneven smile i Liebe and growled. I started running again and turn into our bedroom closing the door behind me and locking it knowing i would never be able to hold the door against him.
“Fe Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of the girl i love” Jackson sagte in a deep husky voice, I laughed out loud and so hard that i had to hold my stomach. Jackson laughed on the other side of the door. I cupped my hand over my face and ran to the wardrobe; i opened the door quietly and ran into Lenete's room. I opened the bedroom door without taking my eyes off the wardrobe i backed out of the doorway and shut the door before being ensnared in a pair of cool arms holding me to his chest. Jackson kissed my neck and grazed his teeth along my jaw. I laughed and turned, running a bit to fast to process the glass Wand screaming towards me
“Dis stop” Jackson called but it was too late, i hit the Wand forehead first. Blood dribbled down between my eyes and dripped off my nose.
“Opps” i mumbled, Jackson laughed “stay there I’m bleeding I’ll go to the bathroom”
“Not a chance, Du stay where Du are” Jackson laughed grabbing the first aid bag from Nafron’s office. I felt my forehead for my cut it was just above my eyebrow and bleeding heavily. The room started to sway i slid down the Wand until i was sitting, i closed my eyes and breathed through my mouth.
“Are Du okay?”
“No go away” i mumbled i looked and found Isabella with the first aid kit in her hands
“Sorry i can’t do that, i was literally ordered Von your fiancée to stay with you, here put this on your clothes Du look pretty in what you’re wearing. We don’t to have to change you” she smiled and handed me a towel.
“You can leave Du know, there’s no need to punish yourself”
“No its okay, human blood doesn’t bother me i lived of animal blood for a lot longer than human so... Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, your blood is different so I’m fine” she smiled again and rubbed alcohol on my cut, it stung and i jerked away “sorry” she dabbed it to my head again and i tightened my muscles so i wouldn’t move.
“So Du and Dimytri, what’s with that?”
“Oh you’ll know all about what i feel for him, i actually came here with Erika and when i saw your brother i guess-”
“You fell in love”
“You could say that, it’s a bit different for us, when Du change you’ll realise what i mean”
“But i Liebe Jackson now”
“Yes Du do, but for Vampire it’s a lot Mehr than that, it’s difficult to explain but you’ll realise what i mean when he changes you”
“Stronger than love... wow that must be a lot” i mumbled She smiled and gently patted a bandaid to my head.
“There now can Du walk oder do Du want me to carry you?” I tried to push myself off the floor but my head felt like it weighed a million pounds “ I think I’ll need to carry you”
“Thank Du Isabella I’ll do that” Jackson came up the stairs with a glass of water and two Panadols
“Okay sure, take it easy Daisi”
“Dis” i called out after her “ow” i yelped
“What am i going to do with you?”
“Kiss me” I laughed as he pulled me into the safe, sicher wiege of his arms. He kissed me lightly on the nose. I laughed again and rested my head on his shoulder as he walked down the stairs at human speed. I heard laughter and squeals. Jackson turned the corner and laid out in front of me were suitcases and bags of clothes, Lilly was collecting money from the nearest resource and Nafron was on the phone.
“What’s going on?”
“We’re going ‘camping’ Nafron says the weather will be sunny for about 4 days so we decided to actually go camping-” Jackson kissed me again knowing i hated camping-
“No we are not going camping... eww, we are going glamping” Lenete smiled at me, her arms full of my neatly folded clothes.
“What’s Glamping?”
“its camping only it’s glamorous” she smiled at me again as she began stacking my clothes into my rosa tartan suitcase. I spied my familiar bag of toiletries sitting to the side of my clothes and several pairs of shoes. I sighed.
“Come on lets clean Du up we’ll be leaving for yehera soon then were off to Tirana for glamping” he smiled emphasising the word and walked up the stairs.
“What’s with the human speed Du hate human speed”
“Your what’s with the human speed, Du have just Lost at least half a litre of blood, fast movements aren’t good for you”
“Ah i see, well can i at least walk I'm losing blood flow to my legs” he chuckled and put me on my feet only to have to catch me again. Jackson laughed out loud and i scowled at him. I started walking monitoring every step i took.
The laughter became quieter down stairs oder maybe it was just the simple fact that my head was rested on Jackson naked chest and i was completely absorbed Von the matter of he would soon be mine forever, Jackson didn’t answer my thoughts he left me free to think. It had been roughly a week since I'd spoken to my mother last and it wasn’t the best conversation. I had a set datum in mind for our wedding and there was no point in me even thinking about details, Lenete wouldn’t listen. Jackson laughed and i giggled along with him. Jackson and i were soon to be husband and wife. I smiled and sighed as Lenete called us down stairs.
We piled into the car i rested my head on Jackson’s shoulder and Lenete stared at the laptop seated on her lap with an angry expression on her face and scrolled through the long Liste of wedding dresses. Lilly’s hand stretched across the car and clasped Nafron’s hand.
Lenete slid a white dress over my head, snug but tight on all my curves, flaring out at my hips with layers and layers of mesh covered in gathered silk. Diamond’s sewn on in elegant swirls enhances my curves. Strappy white heels with Mehr diamonds sewn on were strapped onto my feet and i could actually feel the pain they caused my feet. My hair was in a soft crown on my head. There was a squealing of tyres and i woke. Lenete’s frown was gone replaced Von a smile, Jackson was rolling his eyes.
“She can’t wear that now I’ve seen her in it”
“I’ll modify it, but it’s perfect, Lilly we have her dress”
“Oh let me see”
“It’s Daisi’s own design, she just dreamt it, and I’ll plan it on the way to Tirana”
“Oh lovely that’s a nice idea, i cannot wait to see it” Lilly was beaming.
* * *
Laughter was emanating from everyone, the Essen was delicious everyone was having fun. The glocke on the door jingled repeatedly as someone entered oder left the restaurant. I’m my opinion see everyone having fun like this around the kreis tabelle covered in a red tabelle cloth and many plates of different foods laid out on the table. We looked like a family a very happy family.
“I agree we do like that don’t we” I snorted and cuddled myself tighter into Jackson side.
“Yes we do” Lenete laughed from across the tabelle “only Heidi and i are the only ones without a... Du know significant other” Every one erupted into fits of laughter and Lenete scowled. She hated being without a partner. She stuck her tongue out at me, i laughed even harder. Conversation continued and so did the laughter and we were soon the only ones left in the restaurant.
The car ride to Tirana was quiet, Musik playing softly from the CD player. Lilly and Nafron were talking quieter than the music. Lenete on her laptop drawing a guide for the dress i had dreamt of, Jackson humming quietly and me well i was staring off into space. My mind was blank while trees flew past and the sun setting behind them. Jackson’s humming came to an abrupt stop as he laughed quietly. I looked at him.
“I’ll tell Du later”
“Okay, how long until we get there?”
“About an hour”
“What about Vampire speed” Lenete laughed at my statement and concentrated harder on her screen
“Normal speed takes about two days to get there, Du can do the math right”
I laughed and hugged him
“I Liebe you” i mumbled before i fell asleep
“I Liebe Du too Dis forever and Always”
The chill ran through my veins and i shivered. I hugged the blanket closer to my skin and the bett shifted the coolness suddenly left me and my eyes flew open. Jackson was sitting in a chair across the room.
“Why are Du over there?” my voice was husky and i could barely see him
“You got cold with me lying with you” he’s voice was pained like he hated the distance his cold skin caused us especially in winter.
“Grab another blanket and come back” i smiled and buried myself into my blanket. I felt the weight of another blanket and the bett shift beside me. I twisted so i could see his face. He was just the same as yesterday only his eyes were a fraction darker and the shadows under them were Mehr prominent against his skin. My fingers trailed the shadows.
“You need to hunt” i told him
“I can wait besides if i leave Du now something’s bound to happen”
“Oh am i that incapable”
“With Du we’ll never know” He laughed and kissed my nose.
“I don’t want Du to be suffering over my-“
“Gravitational pull to bad things?” he interrupted
“Yes that” i laughed “Look I'll spend the Tag with Lenete she can protect me just as much as you, so Du can go hunt with who ever else will go”
“Maybe... But Du should sleep”
“What’s the time?” I mumbled trying to Requisiten myself up on my elbow to see the clock.
“About two in the morning”
“Wow... I Liebe you” i mumbled as i put my head back on the kissen
“I Liebe Du too now sleep” He kissed my neck and nuzzled through my hair until his cheek rested on my neck. I sighed and rested a hand on his head “Forever and always” were the last words i heard before unconsciousness took me.
The aisle was short and Jackson stood several feet away from me, Jasper and Dimytri behind him. Lenete and Isabella were dancing down the aisle; Lilly was at the Piano playing softly. I had asked her not to play the wedding march – i cry when i hear that tune- Nafron Smiled at me and i weaved my arm through his. He took a single step and i followed. I was well aware of the presence of my father probably standing on my other side. His invisible hand pressed tenderly to my forearm. I opened my mouth in shock as i saw my mother sitting in the front row a panicked and fretting expression on her face. She looked at me and smiled, a tear ran down her cheek. The room had layers and layers of Blumen – Lenete’s idea- the Blumen created a pleasant and loving smell that enveloped everyone. Fairy lights hung around the room with white ribbon and balloons. Simple and elegant is what i asked for and i pleased that Lenete had stuck to it. Jackson looked stunning in his traditional black tux with a red blume pinned to his lapel. The aisle came to an end; Nafron gently picked up my hand and placed it on Jackson’s. My father’s invisible lips pressed to my cheek. The familiar cool silkiness of Jackson hand sagte i was home. I was his forever and he was mine. Our vows were simple, because that’s what our relationships is, Simple. Jackson kissed my nose leaving a tickling feeling. I smiled; the tickling feeling still itched my nose, like a fly walking across your skin. I itched my nose and the feeling stopped and then started again. Lenete laughed as i swatted my face again. I woke Lenete literally rolling on the floor laughing, Jackson stood protectively in front of me and i well i had cream smeared across my face. I flushed red, Jackson growled deep and husky, a familiar growl, his playful growl. Guessing Von the look on Lenete’s face she didn’t know it was that. She stopped laughing and disappeared ‘chicken’ i thought directing my thoughts to Lenete. She hissed loud enough for me to hear.
“Weird Blonde” i mumbled, Jackson had relaxed now that i was no longer in danger of hurting myself Von Lenete's doing.
“i Agree” He laughed and scooped me up in one arm “Is that really how Du envisioned it?”
“Envisioned what?” Confusion was thick in my voice.
“The wedding” He smiled as he patted a damp cloth to my face cleaning my face of cream remanets
“Ah... Well i guess i can dream as much as i want Lenete will plan some big black tie event and my say won’t even be—”
“Lenete thought your simple idea was worth it, she doesn’t want to make Du unhappy but also sagte that our first marriage can be simple and in fifty years time she’ll plan another wedding and your say will be meaningless” He smiled and laughed.
“Daisi... Visitor” Dimytri’s voice bounced off the walls and upstairs. I stared at Jackson i had no clue on who it could have been. My mother wouldn’t have come here; it had to be some one from Treshone because most of the students knew i lived with the Greene’s. It was a small town so word travelled fast.
“Daisi!” Dimytri warned.
“Coming” i sagte back. I ran down the stairs clinging to the rail for dear life. I pulled to a stop in front of the door, Dimytri hovered over my shoulder. I turned to him and dismissively waved my hand at him; He mocked saluted me and walked off. I wiped a stray hair out of my eyes and pulled the door open.
“Nikki? What are Du doing here? How did Du know we were up here?” Standing at the door was Nikki the most beliebt girl at school. Her Brown hair was pulled back and her brown eyes were surrounded Von too much eye shadow. She flipped her hair behind her ear. I wanted to know how she knew where we were.
“More importantly what are Du doing here?” she scoffed looking me up and down.
“So Du haven’t heard yet?”
“Heard what?” she glared at me “and why didn’t that boy get Jackson for me?”
“Nikki, i live with the Greene’s now and I'm guessing Jackson didn’t answer the door” I took a deep breath in “because he’s not here”
“Jackson” i thought
“Yes, Liebe i heard Du i won’t be seen”
“Thank you, I Liebe you”
“I Liebe Du too, Dis she’s talking to you”
“Hello, earth to really weird person” i looked at her and smiled “Where is he?”
“I know where he is, but i need to know your reasons for seeing him” i pressed a hand to my chin, her eyes widened and locked on my hand, and then i remembered and crossed my arms over my chest.
“So you’re still together?”
“Why is it any of your concern?”
“Just tell me where he is” she pointed at me and raised her voice
“Ladies do we have a problem here?” Jasper walked up behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I’m sure Nikki would have fallen over if she wasn’t clinging to the door frame.
“W... “She stuttered and jasper rolled his eyes at me.
“If Du have no reason to be here could Du please leave, Dis has a few things to do” jasper nodded to her
“I need to talk to Jackson” she finally spoke shaking her head
“I’m sorry but Jackson is out Du will have to wait until he is back oder go back to school and wait until we go back”
“No! I need to see him now”
“How did Du know where we were” i was confused and needed to know
“I’m not talking to you”
“Fine Nikki I’m here now what do Du want” Jackson walked up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist.
“I need to speak to Du alone” Nikki mumbled looking at the ground
“I’ll be right back” I spoke in my head
“Tell me everything”
“I promise you”
“Okay... Dis, Jasper can Du please leave us” Jasper put an arm over my shoulder and steered me to the fireplace and sat me down in front of it. The red flames licked around each other, dancing and playing shadows on the walls. I was never much of a dancer and i envied the flames, perfectly synchronized. Not breaking one step in their dance. I stood up and placed my hands on the invisible person in front of me, who i pretended was Jackson and closed my eyes. I was well aware of Jasper watching me dance around the lounge room without a partner and i was well aware of all the footing mistakes i was making. But i didn’t care. I spun around gradually getting better with my foot work. I spun around the lounge room. I heard the soft pats of several pairs of feet walking towards the lounge room. My audience grew but no one interrupted me. The song in my head came to an end; i opened my eyes and i was staring out the window. My eyebrows knitted together as i turned to face my audience. Jackson smiled and took a step forward. My eyes travelled to everyone in the room.
“Absolutely amazing” Jackson whispered
“What?” i looked behind me following Jackson gaze. Jackson placed a hand on my hip and clasped my hand in his and spun me around. He pulled me in close and began humming he spun around each other oblivious to our audience. Lilly leaned against the door frame smiling. Most of the family dispersed to do their own thing. Nafron hugged Lilly and spun her around and began dancing as well. I rested my head on Jackson chest swaying in time with him. We continued dancing well into the night. I ignored the growl of my stomach until Jackson insisted i eat, he cook me too much Essen and i fell asleep. Jackson cuddled me and hummed my tune.
Lenete and Lilly had thrown themselves into planning my wedding, my mother was ignoring me, Jackson and I had Mehr alone time and my weird behaviour had come back. It has been exactly one week since i went weird the Sekunde time, Jackson has been spending a lot of the time we aren’t alone with Lilly and Nafron, review what could be happening and the powers of Vampire that are currently roaming. I avoided this research unless they uncovered something I’d rather not know.
I was doing assignments when i heard Lenete scream Dimytri’s name. I trudged my way down stairs. Lenete had a pair of high heels in her hand, only they couldn’t be called high any more. Dimytri was shaking with laughter at his sister’s attempts to hurt him.
‘Why were Du wearing my shoes in the first place?” Lenete screamed at him, Dimytri didn’t answer instead he laughter louder and ran out side.
“O.kay what was that all about?”
“Nothing... young lady why are Du awake you’re supposed to be healing”
“Yea well when Du sleep for 18 hours and your human Du kinda need to pee some time” i smiled and walked off.
“Wait Dis, um Lilly and Nafron found out something an—”
“Can Du wait until i finish on the toilet oder you’ll have a floor to clean”
“Oh yes okay” Lenete smiled and gracefully fell into the lounge and picked up a magazine.
My head buzzed around the few words Lenete had sagte ‘Lilly and Nafron found out something’ does that mean that something’s wrong with me? Fragen Fragen Fragen and all these Fragen were going through my head at once.
“Okay now what is it that Lilly and Nafron found?” i called as i carefully stepped off the last step
“It’s a vampire Daisi, One of our old friends; she used to like Jackson she’s coming here, now she’ll be here in about two days but that’s not all –”
“Daisi, Where are you, Family Meeting NOW!” Jackson roared from upstairs
“I’m down here” i sagte knowing he would hear me. He appeared and wrapped his arms around my shoulders.
“Family meeting its important” he kissed me lightly and carried me to the kitchen, sitting me down on the chair Weiter to his. I held his hand tracing circles above his thumb. Every vampire in the room had a serious, business like face on them.
“Her name is Erika, I knew her, we all knew her and we all knew that she was in Liebe with Jackson but Jackson didn’t feel the same way, she now has a follower, Erika changed her about 10 years ago, Her name is Isabella, she is the only vampire known able to shape shift, Erika has lied to her about the relationship between Jackson and Daisi, so Isabella believes that Jackson left Erika for Daisi so they are coming her to—” Jackson coughed to stopped Nafron who began telling all those who didn’t know – only me- about the vampire we were dealing with “Her ability to erase memories and cause the things that have been happening to Daisi and have happened to Her mother,” He simplified it for my slow human brain.
“Wait this Erika has been doing this to me?”
“Yes and she and Isabella are coming here and we have a plan” Jackson hushed me
“No we don’t”
“Yes we do Daisi we spent most of the afternoon going over it”
“I don’t know it so how do we have a plan”
“Dis Liebe Du are the plan” Jackson squeezed my hand lightly.
“I... don’t understand” my eyelids closed on their on account. I felt myself being carried up to the bedroom and placed on the bed. Jackson wrapped is arms around me as i fell asleep. But sleep didn’t come; i lay in Jackson arms with my eyes closed i was careful not to think so Jackson would believe i was asleep.
“I know your not asleep Dis” i forced my eyes open. I turned over in Jackson arms and looked into his eyes.
“How am i the plan?”
“Nafron has seen that Du will befriend her and—” my eyes closed and sleep came this time.
“I don’t know what to do, i feel so hopeless” Jackson’s worry was obvious in his voice
“Son they will be here in less than half and Stunde don’t tell her, we will work around what they chose”
“I can’t help but have the feeling of wanting to kill them as soon as they step foot on the driveway”
“I don’t understand why do Du want to kill them?”
“Don’t judge me Father but Erika wants to kill Daisi, she thinks that if she kills Dis i will Liebe her, little does she know that killing Dis, is like her committing suicide”
Their whisper got quieter as i woke.
“Good afternoon, come on Du need to shower, we will have visitors soon” i nodded i still felt groggy from my Tag and a half of sleep. Jackson must have realised this, he held my waist as i walked to the bathroom, and he adjusted the water until it was suitable for me. Jackson was always the gentleman; he gently pulled my silk tank oben, nach oben and tiny shorts off but left my underclothes on. He lifted me over the edge of the bath and held me so i wouldn’t fall over. When i was showered, Jackson pulled me out of the shower, soaking his clothes in the process; he disappeared for a Sekunde and returned with a set of clothes for me. He left for a moment so i could change my underclothes. He returned when i tapped on the door, i held my hands over my head as he pulled on a frilly collared shirt; he lifted up my leg and pulled on a pair of jeans. In his hands he held a dressy vest. I wove my arms into the arm holes and pulled on a lacy wool knee length dress coat. I stared into the mirror at the sophisticated women standing in the bathroom with a soaked man Weiter to her.
“Lenete wants to do your hair and your shoes, she practically threw a fit when i sagte i would pick your clothes” i nodded and he kissed me lightly before disappearing.
“Lenete” i called, she soon knocked on the door “come in”
“Wow look at Du and all were doing is taking evil Vampire to dinner, come on lets finish Du off” i laughed
“You make me sound like dinner”
“If Du don’t ask Jackson to dress Du again Du will be”
“Wait Du want Jackson to dress me”
“Yea of course i mean look at Du he dress Du better than Du do”
“Thanks Lenny, can we get this over with?” she laughed and sat me down in the purple chair that was situated in front of a bench and mirror in our wardrobe, she worked with my hair quietly only answering my thoughts.
I didn’t want to look in the mirror so i kept my eyes closed concentrating on Lenete’s feather light touch on my hair. She zipped around the room dancing, spinning and twirling as she gathered Mehr products to apply on my skin. My mind was running backwards and forwards, what if this vampire doesn’t like me? I mean i know she loves Jackson but I’m sure that when we told her we are engaged she would Bewegen on wouldn’t she?
“Dis Du need to stop worrying your going to speed up your physical aging time”
I cringed as a mental picture of me at the age of 20 with wrinkles and what have Du ran through my head
“Jesus Louise, if i could heave i think i would have” Lenete laughed
“Sorry” i looked at the floor in embarrassment
“Don’t apologise, just look at yourself in the mirror” I did as she asked. The woman in the mirror was sophisticated, elegant and most of all beautiful, not as beautiful as Lilly, Lenete oder Aurelia but pretty, prettier than the girls at school especially Nikki, i would have to talk to her one Tag at school after i have Jackson and Lenete make me pretty again, maybe i can have a human friend?
“Sure Du can Du only hang out with us how do Du know that people want to hang out with Du when Du don’t talk to them?”
“Good point” i smiled, i had been placed in a pair of black ballet wohnungen and my hair was done casually on my head “so are Erika and Isabella here yet?”
“They just arrived Erika’s um... catching up with Jackson but Jackson doesn’t want to catch up, and a strange thing has happened with Isabella you’ll see when Du go downstairs”
“Oh i see, well lets go” i grabbed her hand and ran only to be overtaken Von Lenete as she laughed and pulled me along. We came to a sudden stop and i thumped into Lenete’s back. The karamell haired vampire that was seated on the couch, and as my vision returned i could see she was trying to all but sit on Jackson lap and Jackson was cringing away from her. I gasped and she looked up at me. The purple of her eyes was darker then everyone else’s in the room whose were a bright purple. Hers were almost black. The black haired girl was standing Weiter to Dimytri with her arms wrapped around his waist, Dimytri’s chin rested on her head; she stood at around 5’2” and looked tiny Weiter to Dimytri’s tall figure. Her features were pixie like and well proportioned. Dimytri smiled at me and hugged Isabella closer to him”
“Oh i see something strange i see now, they fell in love, is she still going with Erika’s plan?”
“No, don’t talk please”
“Okay” i felt a full scale panic attack creeping into my system
“We would like to take Du hunting it must of been a long time since Du hunted last” Jackson heard my thoughts and my need to talk to him out loud and he reacted straight away.
“Oh yes, last time we hunted was about a week Vor i was just to directed on seeing Du Jackson” she stood “ Are Du coming Jay?” she looked at me she was exactly like the Greene’s beautiful only she was evil and they weren’t. Her voice was the sort of voice that belongs to a mother, gentle and calming. Jackson looked at me and i childishly looked away.
“No thank you, I believe Jasper and his family need to hunt, what with my fiancée living here now” Jackson smiled at me; i weakened under his gaze i had to smile back.
“Oh your engaged that wonderful” Isabella’s sarcasm was obvious and i began to get annoyed with her voice.
“Jackson please”
“Okay”
“Well you’d better be off if Du want to be back in time to get to Yehera”
“Yes we should, care to lead Erika?” Lilly was obviously in on the plan. Erika took off after sending one evil glance in my direction. Lilly, Nafron, jasper and Aurelia, Heidi, Dimytri kissed Isabella and followed them leaving Jackson, Lenete and I alone. Lenete’s eye flicked between Jackson and i.
“I think I’ll leave Du two alone, Du are engaged now right” she laughed and walked upstairs
“Out of the house please Lenny” Jackson corrected her
“Oh right silly me” she smiled and took off after the others. I stared at Jackson who had a low, playful growl rumbling in his chest. I took a step backwards holding my hands up in front of me. I turned and laughed as i began running up the stairs only to catch my foot on the first step, cool arms stopped me from hitting the floor. He smiled at me the growl still playing around in his chest. He placed me down at the oben, nach oben of the stairs. I laughed as he cocked his head to the side, raised his eyebrows, smiled the crooked uneven smile i Liebe and growled. I started running again and turn into our bedroom closing the door behind me and locking it knowing i would never be able to hold the door against him.
“Fe Fi Fo Fum I smell the blood of the girl i love” Jackson sagte in a deep husky voice, I laughed out loud and so hard that i had to hold my stomach. Jackson laughed on the other side of the door. I cupped my hand over my face and ran to the wardrobe; i opened the door quietly and ran into Lenete's room. I opened the bedroom door without taking my eyes off the wardrobe i backed out of the doorway and shut the door before being ensnared in a pair of cool arms holding me to his chest. Jackson kissed my neck and grazed his teeth along my jaw. I laughed and turned, running a bit to fast to process the glass Wand screaming towards me
“Dis stop” Jackson called but it was too late, i hit the Wand forehead first. Blood dribbled down between my eyes and dripped off my nose.
“Opps” i mumbled, Jackson laughed “stay there I’m bleeding I’ll go to the bathroom”
“Not a chance, Du stay where Du are” Jackson laughed grabbing the first aid bag from Nafron’s office. I felt my forehead for my cut it was just above my eyebrow and bleeding heavily. The room started to sway i slid down the Wand until i was sitting, i closed my eyes and breathed through my mouth.
“Are Du okay?”
“No go away” i mumbled i looked and found Isabella with the first aid kit in her hands
“Sorry i can’t do that, i was literally ordered Von your fiancée to stay with you, here put this on your clothes Du look pretty in what you’re wearing. We don’t to have to change you” she smiled and handed me a towel.
“You can leave Du know, there’s no need to punish yourself”
“No its okay, human blood doesn’t bother me i lived of animal blood for a lot longer than human so... Most of the time it doesn’t bother me, your blood is different so I’m fine” she smiled again and rubbed alcohol on my cut, it stung and i jerked away “sorry” she dabbed it to my head again and i tightened my muscles so i wouldn’t move.
“So Du and Dimytri, what’s with that?”
“Oh you’ll know all about what i feel for him, i actually came here with Erika and when i saw your brother i guess-”
“You fell in love”
“You could say that, it’s a bit different for us, when Du change you’ll realise what i mean”
“But i Liebe Jackson now”
“Yes Du do, but for Vampire it’s a lot Mehr than that, it’s difficult to explain but you’ll realise what i mean when he changes you”
“Stronger than love... wow that must be a lot” i mumbled She smiled and gently patted a bandaid to my head.
“There now can Du walk oder do Du want me to carry you?” I tried to push myself off the floor but my head felt like it weighed a million pounds “ I think I’ll need to carry you”
“Thank Du Isabella I’ll do that” Jackson came up the stairs with a glass of water and two Panadols
“Okay sure, take it easy Daisi”
“Dis” i called out after her “ow” i yelped
“What am i going to do with you?”
“Kiss me” I laughed as he pulled me into the safe, sicher wiege of his arms. He kissed me lightly on the nose. I laughed again and rested my head on his shoulder as he walked down the stairs at human speed. I heard laughter and squeals. Jackson turned the corner and laid out in front of me were suitcases and bags of clothes, Lilly was collecting money from the nearest resource and Nafron was on the phone.
“What’s going on?”
“We’re going ‘camping’ Nafron says the weather will be sunny for about 4 days so we decided to actually go camping-” Jackson kissed me again knowing i hated camping-
“No we are not going camping... eww, we are going glamping” Lenete smiled at me, her arms full of my neatly folded clothes.
“What’s Glamping?”
“its camping only it’s glamorous” she smiled at me again as she began stacking my clothes into my rosa tartan suitcase. I spied my familiar bag of toiletries sitting to the side of my clothes and several pairs of shoes. I sighed.
“Come on lets clean Du up we’ll be leaving for yehera soon then were off to Tirana for glamping” he smiled emphasising the word and walked up the stairs.
“What’s with the human speed Du hate human speed”
“Your what’s with the human speed, Du have just Lost at least half a litre of blood, fast movements aren’t good for you”
“Ah i see, well can i at least walk I'm losing blood flow to my legs” he chuckled and put me on my feet only to have to catch me again. Jackson laughed out loud and i scowled at him. I started walking monitoring every step i took.
The laughter became quieter down stairs oder maybe it was just the simple fact that my head was rested on Jackson naked chest and i was completely absorbed Von the matter of he would soon be mine forever, Jackson didn’t answer my thoughts he left me free to think. It had been roughly a week since I'd spoken to my mother last and it wasn’t the best conversation. I had a set datum in mind for our wedding and there was no point in me even thinking about details, Lenete wouldn’t listen. Jackson laughed and i giggled along with him. Jackson and i were soon to be husband and wife. I smiled and sighed as Lenete called us down stairs.
We piled into the car i rested my head on Jackson’s shoulder and Lenete stared at the laptop seated on her lap with an angry expression on her face and scrolled through the long Liste of wedding dresses. Lilly’s hand stretched across the car and clasped Nafron’s hand.
Lenete slid a white dress over my head, snug but tight on all my curves, flaring out at my hips with layers and layers of mesh covered in gathered silk. Diamond’s sewn on in elegant swirls enhances my curves. Strappy white heels with Mehr diamonds sewn on were strapped onto my feet and i could actually feel the pain they caused my feet. My hair was in a soft crown on my head. There was a squealing of tyres and i woke. Lenete’s frown was gone replaced Von a smile, Jackson was rolling his eyes.
“She can’t wear that now I’ve seen her in it”
“I’ll modify it, but it’s perfect, Lilly we have her dress”
“Oh let me see”
“It’s Daisi’s own design, she just dreamt it, and I’ll plan it on the way to Tirana”
“Oh lovely that’s a nice idea, i cannot wait to see it” Lilly was beaming.
* * *
Laughter was emanating from everyone, the Essen was delicious everyone was having fun. The glocke on the door jingled repeatedly as someone entered oder left the restaurant. I’m my opinion see everyone having fun like this around the kreis tabelle covered in a red tabelle cloth and many plates of different foods laid out on the table. We looked like a family a very happy family.
“I agree we do like that don’t we” I snorted and cuddled myself tighter into Jackson side.
“Yes we do” Lenete laughed from across the tabelle “only Heidi and i are the only ones without a... Du know significant other” Every one erupted into fits of laughter and Lenete scowled. She hated being without a partner. She stuck her tongue out at me, i laughed even harder. Conversation continued and so did the laughter and we were soon the only ones left in the restaurant.
The car ride to Tirana was quiet, Musik playing softly from the CD player. Lilly and Nafron were talking quieter than the music. Lenete on her laptop drawing a guide for the dress i had dreamt of, Jackson humming quietly and me well i was staring off into space. My mind was blank while trees flew past and the sun setting behind them. Jackson’s humming came to an abrupt stop as he laughed quietly. I looked at him.
“I’ll tell Du later”
“Okay, how long until we get there?”
“About an hour”
“What about Vampire speed” Lenete laughed at my statement and concentrated harder on her screen
“Normal speed takes about two days to get there, Du can do the math right”
I laughed and hugged him
“I Liebe you” i mumbled before i fell asleep
“I Liebe Du too Dis forever and Always”
The chill ran through my veins and i shivered. I hugged the blanket closer to my skin and the bett shifted the coolness suddenly left me and my eyes flew open. Jackson was sitting in a chair across the room.
“Why are Du over there?” my voice was husky and i could barely see him
“You got cold with me lying with you” he’s voice was pained like he hated the distance his cold skin caused us especially in winter.
“Grab another blanket and come back” i smiled and buried myself into my blanket. I felt the weight of another blanket and the bett shift beside me. I twisted so i could see his face. He was just the same as yesterday only his eyes were a fraction darker and the shadows under them were Mehr prominent against his skin. My fingers trailed the shadows.
“You need to hunt” i told him
“I can wait besides if i leave Du now something’s bound to happen”
“Oh am i that incapable”
“With Du we’ll never know” He laughed and kissed my nose.
“I don’t want Du to be suffering over my-“
“Gravitational pull to bad things?” he interrupted
“Yes that” i laughed “Look I'll spend the Tag with Lenete she can protect me just as much as you, so Du can go hunt with who ever else will go”
“Maybe... But Du should sleep”
“What’s the time?” I mumbled trying to Requisiten myself up on my elbow to see the clock.
“About two in the morning”
“Wow... I Liebe you” i mumbled as i put my head back on the kissen
“I Liebe Du too now sleep” He kissed my neck and nuzzled through my hair until his cheek rested on my neck. I sighed and rested a hand on his head “Forever and always” were the last words i heard before unconsciousness took me.
The aisle was short and Jackson stood several feet away from me, Jasper and Dimytri behind him. Lenete and Isabella were dancing down the aisle; Lilly was at the Piano playing softly. I had asked her not to play the wedding march – i cry when i hear that tune- Nafron Smiled at me and i weaved my arm through his. He took a single step and i followed. I was well aware of the presence of my father probably standing on my other side. His invisible hand pressed tenderly to my forearm. I opened my mouth in shock as i saw my mother sitting in the front row a panicked and fretting expression on her face. She looked at me and smiled, a tear ran down her cheek. The room had layers and layers of Blumen – Lenete’s idea- the Blumen created a pleasant and loving smell that enveloped everyone. Fairy lights hung around the room with white ribbon and balloons. Simple and elegant is what i asked for and i pleased that Lenete had stuck to it. Jackson looked stunning in his traditional black tux with a red blume pinned to his lapel. The aisle came to an end; Nafron gently picked up my hand and placed it on Jackson’s. My father’s invisible lips pressed to my cheek. The familiar cool silkiness of Jackson hand sagte i was home. I was his forever and he was mine. Our vows were simple, because that’s what our relationships is, Simple. Jackson kissed my nose leaving a tickling feeling. I smiled; the tickling feeling still itched my nose, like a fly walking across your skin. I itched my nose and the feeling stopped and then started again. Lenete laughed as i swatted my face again. I woke Lenete literally rolling on the floor laughing, Jackson stood protectively in front of me and i well i had cream smeared across my face. I flushed red, Jackson growled deep and husky, a familiar growl, his playful growl. Guessing Von the look on Lenete’s face she didn’t know it was that. She stopped laughing and disappeared ‘chicken’ i thought directing my thoughts to Lenete. She hissed loud enough for me to hear.
“Weird Blonde” i mumbled, Jackson had relaxed now that i was no longer in danger of hurting myself Von Lenete's doing.
“i Agree” He laughed and scooped me up in one arm “Is that really how Du envisioned it?”
“Envisioned what?” Confusion was thick in my voice.
“The wedding” He smiled as he patted a damp cloth to my face cleaning my face of cream remanets
“Ah... Well i guess i can dream as much as i want Lenete will plan some big black tie event and my say won’t even be—”
“Lenete thought your simple idea was worth it, she doesn’t want to make Du unhappy but also sagte that our first marriage can be simple and in fifty years time she’ll plan another wedding and your say will be meaningless” He smiled and laughed.
“Daisi... Visitor” Dimytri’s voice bounced off the walls and upstairs. I stared at Jackson i had no clue on who it could have been. My mother wouldn’t have come here; it had to be some one from Treshone because most of the students knew i lived with the Greene’s. It was a small town so word travelled fast.
“Daisi!” Dimytri warned.
“Coming” i sagte back. I ran down the stairs clinging to the rail for dear life. I pulled to a stop in front of the door, Dimytri hovered over my shoulder. I turned to him and dismissively waved my hand at him; He mocked saluted me and walked off. I wiped a stray hair out of my eyes and pulled the door open.
“Nikki? What are Du doing here? How did Du know we were up here?” Standing at the door was Nikki the most beliebt girl at school. Her Brown hair was pulled back and her brown eyes were surrounded Von too much eye shadow. She flipped her hair behind her ear. I wanted to know how she knew where we were.
“More importantly what are Du doing here?” she scoffed looking me up and down.
“So Du haven’t heard yet?”
“Heard what?” she glared at me “and why didn’t that boy get Jackson for me?”
“Nikki, i live with the Greene’s now and I'm guessing Jackson didn’t answer the door” I took a deep breath in “because he’s not here”
“Jackson” i thought
“Yes, Liebe i heard Du i won’t be seen”
“Thank you, I Liebe you”
“I Liebe Du too, Dis she’s talking to you”
“Hello, earth to really weird person” i looked at her and smiled “Where is he?”
“I know where he is, but i need to know your reasons for seeing him” i pressed a hand to my chin, her eyes widened and locked on my hand, and then i remembered and crossed my arms over my chest.
“So you’re still together?”
“Why is it any of your concern?”
“Just tell me where he is” she pointed at me and raised her voice
“Ladies do we have a problem here?” Jasper walked up behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I’m sure Nikki would have fallen over if she wasn’t clinging to the door frame.
“W... “She stuttered and jasper rolled his eyes at me.
“If Du have no reason to be here could Du please leave, Dis has a few things to do” jasper nodded to her
“I need to talk to Jackson” she finally spoke shaking her head
“I’m sorry but Jackson is out Du will have to wait until he is back oder go back to school and wait until we go back”
“No! I need to see him now”
“How did Du know where we were” i was confused and needed to know
“I’m not talking to you”
“Fine Nikki I’m here now what do Du want” Jackson walked up behind me and wrapped an arm around my waist.
“I need to speak to Du alone” Nikki mumbled looking at the ground
“I’ll be right back” I spoke in my head
“Tell me everything”
“I promise you”
“Okay... Dis, Jasper can Du please leave us” Jasper put an arm over my shoulder and steered me to the fireplace and sat me down in front of it. The red flames licked around each other, dancing and playing shadows on the walls. I was never much of a dancer and i envied the flames, perfectly synchronized. Not breaking one step in their dance. I stood up and placed my hands on the invisible person in front of me, who i pretended was Jackson and closed my eyes. I was well aware of Jasper watching me dance around the lounge room without a partner and i was well aware of all the footing mistakes i was making. But i didn’t care. I spun around gradually getting better with my foot work. I spun around the lounge room. I heard the soft pats of several pairs of feet walking towards the lounge room. My audience grew but no one interrupted me. The song in my head came to an end; i opened my eyes and i was staring out the window. My eyebrows knitted together as i turned to face my audience. Jackson smiled and took a step forward. My eyes travelled to everyone in the room.
“Absolutely amazing” Jackson whispered
“What?” i looked behind me following Jackson gaze. Jackson placed a hand on my hip and clasped my hand in his and spun me around. He pulled me in close and began humming he spun around each other oblivious to our audience. Lilly leaned against the door frame smiling. Most of the family dispersed to do their own thing. Nafron hugged Lilly and spun her around and began dancing as well. I rested my head on Jackson chest swaying in time with him. We continued dancing well into the night. I ignored the growl of my stomach until Jackson insisted i eat, he cook me too much Essen and i fell asleep. Jackson cuddled me and hummed my tune.
