Frostbite

Chapter 14- Catching Up

I just realized my dad comes home today ._. My brothers gonna go off the rails and start annoying everybody. Welp, my gravestone gonna read "here lies Luna. Died by annoyance of children." Anybody else be so close to babies and toddlers but when it comes to kids up to your age, you wanna kill them? Me lmao. Back to NF and Dean Lewis music I go.

Coras pov:

A little while later we heard the door open. We walked out of the living room and into the main hall. Adilyn runs over to me and starts checking for wounds. "I'm fine adilyn." I giggle. Adrian gives me kiss and Athena and Julian hugs me. Dylan kisses my cheek and tackles me to the ground. "Get off me you goofball." I laugh. He pulls me up and my dad walks out making everyone stiffen.

"Adilyn this is your grandfather." I say with a smile. Her face lights up and she hugs him tight. She lets go and we go sit in the living room to hang out.

"So how long were we gone?" Zane asks. They pause for a moment before answering the question. "3 days." Athena answers with sadness in her voice. "Are you fucking serious?!" I shout. "Calm down Cora." Zane orders. "I'm not a damn child Zane." I say harshly. "Why?! Tell me because I'm so fucking done with all of the secrets in the family. Somehow you're alive after 3000 years, human and healthy, but Clara remains dead and mom is nowhere to be found!!" I direct towards my father. He has an expression mixed with guilt and pain. "Cora I can't tell you anything." His voice cracks.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!! You come strolling back into my life as a vampire hunter, both a danger to me and your grandfather whom you've never met. So unless you give me some damn answers, I'll tie you to a bench and set this entire fucking house on fire. With you in it. Let's see how you survive that." I say with no emotion. I stare him directly in the eyes and watch him as he mentally argues with himself. "Fine. Alright. You want your answers? I'll give them to you." He surrenders and sighs.

"I was turned to a vampire the night Clara died, and you got captured." He confesses. "So you're a vampire hunting your own kind? That's fucked up in so many ways." Adilyn adds in. "I know." He replies bluntly. "That doesn't answer why you took me and Cora and almost killed her." Zane says to my father. "YOU ALMOST KILLED HER?!!" Adilyn yells. It was louder than Dylan and that says a lot. "Adilyn I'm fine. Will you focus please?" I ask agitated. She rolls her eyes and turns back around.

"She wasn't supposed to be out for 3 entire days. She was supposed to be badly weakened enough for us to get her in captivity. However Alex, decided to hit her where it could've killed her." He says and points to the bodyguard. He remains sitting, quiet, with a neutral face. "Yeah he doesn't talk much." My dad adds. "So what do you want with Cora? Or what did you want?" Athena asks calmly. "Do you know those rumors about a special vampire going around the world?" My dad asks back. "Yeah, it's said he's a hybrid." Zane answers. "It's a she and she's not a hybrid. She's a tribrid. And she's right there." He says and looks at me.

"What the hell?!" I yell. "Cora you were born half witch, half werewolf. However you were turned into a vampire and it created a third of your supernatural self. I'm a born werewolf but now werewolf- vampire hybrid and your mother was a witch. Witches don't age so your mother is very much alive. She's in hiding from a very powerful vampire, one older than all of us combined and she's out to get one thing: Cora." He explains. "Then why is she hiding if he's after me?" I ask confused. "Because he wants information. He knows your mother knows where you are and that you're alive. She lied to him ages ago that you were dead and made him see a false illusion of your supposed death. He's angry and will kill her so she had to leave." He answers. This is too much.

I get overwhelmed and just go to my room. I change out of my bloody club outfit and into some comfy sweats with a sports bra and hop into bed. I fight away the million thoughts in my head and eventually find myself falling into darkness.

I wake up with a deadly hunger and race to the kitchen. I drank until I couldn't anymore and hear footsteps. I look from my now empty blood bag and I see Adrian standing in the doorway. He had his arms crossed over his chest and his left shoulder was against the wall. He look really hot to be honest.

"Hungry?" He asks with a blank face. I make a 'huh' and he points to the counter I'm standing at. There were a total of 8 empty blood bags. "I guess." I say and shrug. I get rid of the plastic and go back upstairs to my room. I didn't notice Adrian following me until I got to my bed where his footsteps made sound. I turn around and he was dangerously close. I could feel his breath on my forehead since I'm short and we start to kiss. Things go further and we fall asleep a few hours later.

Ugh my Spotify plays too many ads I'm about to chuck my phone out the window. 🙄
