Chapter 1.44: Unknown Substance

Valentine I hesitated to interrupt him, it looked like it was an interesting book and I knew he needed to read it for his internship at well he never said, just that it was important. "Hey Seth," I started with. "Yeah?" Seth asked, looking up from his book. "Do you have a minute?" I asked. I had to admit, I was kind of afraid he would get angry with me for prying into Isobel's past but something wasn't adding up. It was also around the time the two of them started getting close, and led to our family. "Sure," Seth said, and put his book down. I took a deep breath, and tried to not change my mind about this. "W-What do you know about Toby Brothers?" I asked him. I could do this, it was important and it would help their soon to be born baby. "He was like a father to Isobel, and he is Serene's father. That's about it, why?" Seth asked. "You know I started work at the police department, and

Seven months later, and I was still in shock after Isobel told me she was pregnant with Seth's baby. I did everything I could to make it work with her and the bitch turns around and gets knocked up by him. I don't even know what I saw in her anymore, and thinking about it makes me sick. I guess I should have cut ties when I first found out she was cheating on me with that bastard. I was so damn angry at her that I got myself kicked out of school and blew any chance at a decent future, Caleb couldn't help me anymore with me getting into school. I was shit out of luck, Caleb even kicked me out of the house and told me he wasn't helping me anymore. He was an asshole, and I was an asshole. Shit, the world is full of assholes. I lived on the streets for a while, because no one would fucking let me crash with them but I can't really blame them. It seems like the whole town of Willow Creek heard about what happened at school and how I got expelled. I swear people need

"You want to have our wedding here, baby?" Seth asked me. He had that dreamy look in his eyes again, like he always does when he talks about our future together and I smiled, it was pretty here. I could just see it now, walking down the aisle in my wedding dress and Seth in a nice suit as my mother smiled at me at the end before giving me to him for the rest of my life. "You can see it too," he whispered. "I do," I said softly, and he smiled. "What if we have have another baby in a few years," Seth asks, "I'll try real hard to make sure it's a girl so we have one of each." I laughed, it was just like him to joke around like that, and I shook my head. I wasn't anywhere near ready to have this baby let alone to start thinking about a second baby. "Okay, baby. Maybe we will stick with one kid for our family and get Valentine to push out some little cousins for our boy," he said. "Do you think we'll be

"I can't believe you are actually having this baby," Allen said, looking at my stomach like it was something evil. "Why didn't you abort it?" he demanded to know. "Allen! I can't believe you said that! God, I would never abort Seth's baby!" I said, glaring at him. Allen has been my best friend for years, but ever since I told him about Seth's baby he's been acting even moodier than normal. "What's gotten into you?" I asked. "You don't even know him! Have you even met his parents? Seriously Issy, don't you think it's a little sketchy how they have all that money and you haven't even met their parents?" Allen asked me. I did find it a little strange, but at the same time I wasn't going to pry into something that wasn't my business. "Are you going to my mom's party this evening?" I asked, changing the subject. "Wow, not even going to answer my questions? Wha

Chapter 1.40: An Unlikely Conclusion

"So vampires, don't always attack humans?" I asked, trying to understand. Lilith nodded, she was being very patient with me. Also, she didn't try to bite me once! It could have been because I ate a ton of garlic earlier with my mama in our pasta. "That's correct, sweet girl," Lilith said. "So if you DON'T attack humans, how do you feed?" I asked her. "Blood bags," Lilith replied simply. I stared at her, the vamps were drinking blood for bags? Wasn't that gross? I guess it's better than them attacking humans, and killing them. "Where do you get these bags of blood?" I asked, not a hundred percent sure I wanted to know the answer to my own question. "Some humans will volunteer to do this thing where they 'donate' blood, and that is where we get them. You can even order them online, and it is completely safe for people like you," Lilith explained. "But what about the evil vamp

"We could probably put a fountain in our background, think about it. We could sit down on the edge with our baby and it would be nice to look at it," Seth said. I rolled my eyes, ever since I found out I was pregnant, and got kicked out of the house he's been clingy. Always talking about what we're going to do once our kid is born which isn't really a bad thing but I am only sixteen years old. "I don't know, what if our baby falls in?" I asked, yawning. Damn, being pregnant was exhausting like who knew growing a baby inside your uterus was this tiring. Couldn't the baby use it's own energy to grow? Apparently not, it needed take all mine. "I'll think about it," I said. "I kind of agree with Isobel on this bro, don't need that little rugrat drowning," Valentine said. "You two are no fun," Seth said. I watched as he jumped up on the edge, and walked over to him. I smirked, and than gave him a nice

Chapter 1.38: Is Love Worth It?

"Daddy, I don't understand. Why do you stay with mother if she is an asshole?" the teen asked her father. She couldn't for the life of her understand why he wouldn't divorce her mother, was love really worth staying with such an awful person? The teen would only shake her head as her father tried yet again to explain to her why he didn't divorce her mother. "I love her, and when you love someone you take a vow to stand by them no matter what they do. I am an honorable man, and I won't break my vow with your mother. Besides if I didn't have your mother I wouldn't have you and I'd be incredibly lonely," the man explained to his daughter. He smiled at her and took her hands in his gently before kissing the top of her hands. She rolled her eyes, and then smiled at him. She had the greatest father in the world, he never let her want for anything and he had been so patient with her as a child. "Okay daddy," the teen said an

Chapter 1.37: The Inevitable Talk

Juniper I was a damned fool to think I could keep vampires a secret from my daughters, and even more of a damn fool to think Serene didn't hear what I yelled at Isobel the day I kicked her out. Serene was now nervous around me and acts like she doesn't trust me. I never wanted my children to learn about the horrible creatures, and I so desperately wanted to shield them from everything evil. I don't know what went wrong with Isobel, and why she had to get herself pregnant. In some ways I get, I really do understand that condoms do break sometimes but my little girl is only sixteen now and about to go through what I consider to be the hardest thing in the world. People think it's so easy and fun to be a parent, but they have no idea how hard it is. I wish I could go back and redo the day I kicked her out. I'd sit her down and talk to her about why it made me so angry. I was just so angry with her, because of all the things to do in the world she did the one

Chapter 1.36: Training for the Future

The last few days had been hard for me, and every time I ask about Isobel mama yells at me about being responsible. What does being responsible have to do with my sister? I just wanted to know how she is but I don't think Mama knows. I need to see my sister, and ask her somethings because I think Mama is going to make me leave to once everything goes down. "Earth to Serene," Mateo said, looking annoyed. Sometimes I wonder why I asked him to join, but he is a good kid. Well, sometimes he is. "What do you think we should do?" he asked. That's right, I'm the leader of this club. "I think we should try talking to the vampires," I said. I remembered what the guide said, about choices and it being the catalyst. Mateo looked to me with shock, but if this was going to change everything then it should be the right choice. "Talk to the blood suckers?" Mateo asked, I nodded. "Maybe they aren't all horrible," I said. &q

Authors Note: The Point of View is now changing to first person from here on!  I couldn't believe it, and I don't mean that lightly either because they were both talking so fast and then they started screaming at each other. It was so scary and I just wanted my daddy to make it all stop, but he was dead. Now all I had was Isobel but I don't think she is living with me anymore at least not after what Mama said a few days ago. Everything was so messed up now, who is going to hold me when I get scared if Issy is gone? No one, there is no one left to hold me. But you know what, it's all Mama's fault! If she didn't tell Isobel to leave then I would still have someone. Mama makes everyone leave, but I've had enough and as soon as I tell my friends what I heard I'm going to get my sister back. "So Ashton, this is Abby and she's our new recruit. I found her being bullied by the mean kids at recess the other day and I think she's pretty
