I had to lie to my sister because she's so clueless. She doesn't realize the power she possesses, the privilege of being a vampire. That's why I'm going to make her believe that if she embraces her nature, she can reclaim her old life. Hopefully, it'll work and she'll buy into it.
BETH POV:
I was at school when I got a message from my mom saying that tomorrow we're gonna have dinner with some special guests.
IN THE HOUSE:
Victoria: Do you really think she's gonna buy that? She's so into her basic boyfriend, she won't go for it.
GRANDMA: Well, she's gotta accept it because it's the only way if we wanna end this.
MOM: Okay, we're not saying anything to her until tomorrow.
BETH POV:
When I got home, I saw my parents, my sister, and grandma at the table eating. I sat down and started eating...
DAD: You're late, Beth, again...
- Sorry, I was with my friends.
VICTORIA: Again with those losers? Seriously?
MOM: Victoria, this isn't the time.
Victoria: anyways, your lame boyfriend tried to give you this bouquet of flowers, but well, since you weren't around, he left it in your room. He really thinks he's being all romantic by doing that? (Smiling)He's so boring, I would've never gone out with him.
- oh come on! Don't be so harsh on him. He is a good guy and I love him so,well,mom,you texted me this morning, what's wrong?
MOM: It's...
GRANDMA: Well... tomorrow you're in for a surprise.
- A surprise? I don't like surprises... If you can tell me, that'd be great.
GRANDMA: Surprise is a surprise, so you gotta wait.
- Can I at least get some hints?
VICTORIA: Well, it's about love... mmm what else? Oh yeah, unity, sacrifice, you know, stuff like that.
- MOM:Victoria...
- WTF? Again?
GRANDMA: It's not the same, don't worry.
- Oh, so I gotta be happy or something? If it's not the same, so it's gonna be worse, right? F*ck.
DAD: Watch your language.
* I went to my room. *
MOM:Beth, you gotta eat...
VICTORIA: I told you... *smiling* she won't go for it.
MOM: Take the food to her bedroom, please.
(Knock, knock)
- Hey, it's Dad.
- What do you want?
- Take, you gotta eat or...
- You won't survive, I know, I know.In the night, I was thinking about leaving. I don't know if I can go to Olivia's house or to Alex's house... When I was thinking, I got a text from someone I wasn't expecting to.Our families have been at each other's throats for ages. They've been fighting, attacking, and even offing each other. It's a never-ending mess of animosity and violence, so Receiving his message got me a bit worried, so I stayed home and got ready for the worst. If this time they're planning an attack, I'll be there to defend our honor, and I'll show them they shouldn't mess with this family.
-JOHN:hey! I hope I'm not bugging you too much.
- What do you want?
JOHN: Well... it's been a while since we didn't talk.
-What should we be yapping about? Our family's drama? Come on, stop playing and spill it.
JOHN:Hey, take it easy. Our families will never have problems again, I promise.I saw the text but I didn't answer. What is he talking about? He knows something I don't know for sure, I don't even know why I still have his number on my phone.
