"Rose?"

"Slater. Are you okay?" The woman breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, I took off. I'm sorry. I was friggin' freaked."

"No, I'm sorry to involve you."

"Look, I want no part in any of this, but I did some digging."

"Okay, what did you find?"

"You can destroy the curse. But you need the moonstone."

"How? What do you mean? I don't follow."

"Can your friend get the moonstone? You need it." There was a brief pause.

"Yes, he can get it. What next?"

"You need a witch. Get the moonstone, a witch should be able to figure out the rest. Good luck, Rose."

"Very nicely done," I commented after Slater had finished the phone call.

"Thanks, I have a degree in theater," he responded with a shaky voice, turning to face me. "How can you compel me? A vampire can't compel another vampire."

Shrugging a shoulder, I responded, "I'm a special vampire."

"What? Because you're an Original?" I made a small noise in the back of my throat, smirking slightly.

"Now, I want you to take this and drive it through your heart," I ordered him, his pupils dilating as I held up a wooden chair leg.

He slowly reached up, his fingers wrapping around it, "But that would kill me forever."

"I know, but it's necessary." Slater looked down at the wood in his hand, terror written all over his face, before plunging it into his abdomen. He started turning grey, falling to the floor.

"Was it really?" Jonas asked, walking up behind me with Elijah.

"It had to be done. He delivered his message." Jonas looked down at Slater's body as Elijah glanced at me.

"Won't be long now," he said, a small smile on his face. 

So, I thought I would post Chapter 3 because I was feeling generous and just finished my finals. 

I know this chapter is short and kind of boring, but I promise, they'll get longer and better. 

Does anyone know why Wattpad keeps changing? I post a new chapter and then when I go back to edit it, the layout is completely different. It's a nice layout, I'll admit, but then it'll change back to how it was before. Any ideas?
