a new life (sequel to my vampire prince)

a new life 3

***

I woke up almost instantly and shot up. I was confused about my surroundings then relaxed remembering I was at the nice lady's house.

I saw a few pictures on the wall and walked to it. It was the girl, willow, she was laughing with her arm thrown around a girl that looked like the older lady... same hair and eyes.

I looked back at willow, for a moment it looked as if it was me in the picture. I shook my head and walked into the kitchen. I could say my thanks to the lady.

I made her eggs and bacon, having some for myself then cleaned up the mess. I was about to leave when on the staircase I saw pictures. I hesitated then walked to it.

The first picture was of a woman and man at a wedding. The next was 10 pictures and the woman had her shirt up showing her growing baby.

The next they stood together holding the baby with loving gazes.

The next picture the baby looked about a year old in a little dress in a meadow. The woman was holding her up.

I made my way to the next picture; the baby was sitting down smiling with the dad behind her grinning.

The next picture she was running, a bit clumsy across sand with her mom chasing her.

I smiled slightly trailing my hand over the woman, I didn’t know her but she seemed important...

The next picture the girl was four with a birthday cap on and her face squished between her parents.

My smile faulted when I got to the next picture. The girl was sitting on a window seal holding her birthday cap but I could see she was crying.

The next picture was just as sad. She was standing with a small smile that looked forced with her hair in bad pigtails and a dress.

The next picture I smiled slightly the girl from before was in this picture but young as well.

I couldn't help but smile as I continued up the stairs. Each picture was taken with both of them both smiling and was obviously self shot.

I got to the last picture and it was them in bathing suits grinning into a mirror.

"It was the last party we went to together.” I let out a yelp jumping back and stumbled but she caught my arm pulling me up right.

She smiled slightly at my reaction but dropped my hand. It was silent as she looked at the picture.

"I want to show you something." she nodded her head and thrust a thumb over her shoulder.

I followed without hesitation. She was kind and I got the feeling she wouldn’t harm me. She paused at a door, "this is willows room... I haven't cleaned it since she left. I don’t know why but I felt like I should keep it that way for a little longer...” she grabbed the handle pushing it open.

She motioned me to go in and I did. It was a bit dust making me cough but I saw she was right, everything was left untouched.

I looked around the dusty room but only one thing caught my attention. It was a small black chest sitting on her dresser...

"You can have anything you want... I don’t have a need for it and I don’t think willow would mind." I turned and saw her still at the entrance.

I slowly grabbed the dusty box; I brought it to my chest not letting it being taken away from me. I walked out of the room feeling satisfied and could leave. She followed me down stairs and smiled at me.

"Why don’t you head home, someone might be looking for you." I gave a nod and turned around then stopped.

I walked to her hugging her, "willow was lucking to have someone like you." I whispered and she just pulled me closer.

She pulled back smiling, "go on Hun... your family must be worried." she waved me away and I slowly waved at her and left out the front door.

I continued on the sidewalk and a car drove up next to me. I looked up and saw my mom and dad giving me a glare. I climbed in setting the box in my lap.

"Thanks for coming to get me-

"We were worried sick!" my mom screeched at me before I could finish my sentence.

I sighed rubbing my nose, "sorry mom but I had to come... I can't explain it but as my mother, I expect you to trust me." I told her gently and her face immediately fell. She quickly looked out the window and the car ride was silent.

I saw our bags were in the back, I guess we were done being at the evil alphas house.

"Where are we going now?" I asked curiously.

My dad glanced at me in the review mirror, "we are going to the supernatural world." my eyes widened.

My dad told me about the supernatural world. It was wear most vampires and werewolves lived. They were at the top of the food chain there and the royals lived there.

“I thought you said it was disastrous?" I wondered aloud and he let out a small sigh.

"it is, 'he spoke a bit irritated, 'but an old friend is having issues with his living space and won't rest till I come help." dad never really talked about his friends that much, mostly because his friends were all snobby rich werewolves who were really annoying.

I stretched slightly pulling the box closer to my chest, "wake me when we get there." I muttered and closed my eyes.

It didn’t take me long to fall asleep but I kept thinking about the box in my arms.
