"Don't worry, I'll see you again soon. It'll only be a couple of weeks and I'm flying out to see you all." I assured pulling away from the hug.

"Yeah I know, I've enjoyed meeting you, Vera. Hopefully, I shall see you again soon." Caius said the two guards standing behind. I hadn't been formally introduced or spoke to any of the guards yet. I believe the ones behind Caius are Felix and Demetri. The ones staying and 'protecting' me are Alec and Jane.

"Goodbye, Caius." I muttered hugging him one last time before closing the door. My mood changed from happy to moody very quickly.

I hated when one of the kings left, it felt like a part of yourself being torn away. Before he left Caius made some dramatic speech about how 'It is never goodbye with you and me, only farewell.'

Like I said the guy can be very theatrical, they all can, maybe it's an age thing.

I was sat with Charlie on the couch. He was reading the newspaper and I was staring at a wall. Ever since all three kings left I've been a moody sloth. There had also been apparent news of a serial killer on the loose near us which had everyone panicking.

Bella closed the door with a big smile on her face from spending time with her boyfriend, at least someone's happy.

Charlie checked the clock "Four o'clock in the dot. That kid trying to brown-nose me now or something?" He asked.

"He has a name." Bella scoffed

"Yeah, dad, show some respect to sleep-watcher Edward." I joked, never honing to let him forget that.

"Wait? What! He watched you sleep, Bella are you okay?" Charlie shot up, very concerned with the safety of his oldest daughter.

I laughed happy with what I had done, Bella threw a book at my head. "See look what you've caused! No dad, Edward doesn't watch me sleep. Vera was only joking." Bella reassured trying to calm down our father.

Charlie threw down the newspaper and sighed. "Okay...you understand why you're being punished, right?" Charlie questioned.

"I know I put you through hell." Bella responded. At least she's self-aware.

"Yes, you did. But I have other reasons for grounding you. Like, uh...I just want you to get some separation from him." Charlie confessed.

Separating the two lovebirds would be a difficult thing to do, seeing as Edward is practically attached to Bella like superglue.

"There's nothing you can do, Edwards in my life." Bella said. Charlie knew this, I guess he was just having a hard time coping with the fact the second he got Bella back he lost her again.

"Yeah, I'm gathering that." Charlie noted talking a swig of his drink "look I'll make a proposal, your not grounded anymore. If you use your newfound freedom to see some of your other friends too, like... Jacob. He's going through a really bad time at the moment and Billy's very worried about him. Now, I remember when that was you. You needed a friend, Jake and Vera were there.

Wolf boy hadn't talked to me in ages. I'd tried calling the fluffy fella but he hadn't been answering, he was ghosting me.

I won't lie, I've missed him. As much as he annoys me, I still miss him.

I caught Bella trying to sneak off, well, great thing to do the second you get grounded. She isn't the smartest tool in the shed.

"Bella! Wait!" I shouted jumping in the car. She tried starting the car but it wasn't turning on. There was a sudden thud and Sleep-watcher Edward was sitting beside me.

"OH, MY FUCK! You could at least warn me next time you feel like teleporting out of fucking nowhere!" I yelled, "Could've given me a heart attack, how are you gonna cover that up buddy?"

He tried to hide his laugh but failed "Wow, my pain is amusing to you. Nice to know." I stated Getting out of the car and practically racing up into my bedroom. Not getting involved in whatever argument was about to happen there by the looks of it Edward looked more pissed than usual.

I'm just glad I'm flying out to Italy in two days, of course, Charlie wasn't the happiest but I'd just told him a friend from back in England wanted to meet up and go on holiday, in the end, he agreed.
