The Death of Peace of Mind

Twenty

-Olivia-

I was in the field again but this time I wasn't alone. I looked around and saw two figures in the distance. They had their backs to me but their silhouettes looked very familiar to me.

"It's not your time Olivia." The male said sadly, "You don't join us here yet."

"Who are you?" I asked reaching out for them, "Please, what is this place?"

"Oh my sweet girl you know who we are." The female spoke as she slowly turned to face me. I gasped as I realised that my parents were stood in front of me.

"Am I..." No, I couldn't be dead.

My father chuckled, "You aren't dead baby girl. Your body is going through a traumatic period but you're not dead in a way."

"Those boys you have been hanging around with are lovely darling." My mother spoke, smiling with tears in her eyes. "Especially your boyfriend."

Noah. Oh God I didn't want to leave him.

"They're all worried about you baby girl." My father sat on a bench that was behind him leaving a gap between him and my mother. "We've been watching you all the time. We never wanted to leave you at such a young age."

I sat next to him, taking both of their hands in mine. "What happened? The police said you were in a car accident but there was never any reports." I sniffed. I never fully understood what caused my parents deaths.

"There was no car accident sweetheart." My mother gave my hand a squeeze. "We were attacked." My mother moved her neck to the side so I could see the bite marks.

"A vampire?!" I gasped. "It wasn't one of the boys was it?" I remembered Nick telling me he was an uncontrollable newborn.

"The boys would never target people who would be missed." A new voice was coming towards us. "Noah wouldn't be stupid to fall in love with someone he knew that him or the boys took a loved one from." The young woman smiled, "It's finally nice to meet the woman that repaired his heart."

I gasped, "Louise?" The boys were right. We both looked similar but at the same time, we were completely different.

"I've been watching the boys all the time I've been here. Noah's drive for getting revenge for my death was the main reason I stuck around." Louise smiled sadly. "I wanted him to move on and I'm glad he finally has with you Liv."

"They all miss you Lou." I looked at her, "Noah blamed himself for leaving. The others blamed themselves for not realising you was in danger."

"They don't have to carry the blame or guilt anymore." She smiled, "Noah didn't just get revenge for me... He also got revenge for your parents too."

I looked at my mother and father realising George was the vampire that had killed them too.

"He never killed you baby girl, therefore he didn't win." My father smiled, "Nick managed to save you just in time. We were just simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. That young man always had a problem with Noah and the boys."

"So he only started to target Marie and I because of them?"

"Not quite." Lou spoke up quickly, "Marie's fate was always to turn. He wanted her to be by his side. She was lucky to escape and meet Nicholas." She smiled, "The day of the interview was the day both of your fates changed. Marie is the other half of Nicholas... just like you're the other half of Noah." She smiled again, "But your father is right Olivia. You don't belong here."

I looked at my mom and dad, "But I don't want to say goodbye." I wiped my tears as they both hugged me.

"We will always be with you Olivia." My mother said through tears, "But it's time for you to start your new life with Noah."

"The first few days will be hard Olivia but trust the boys. If they tell you that you need to feed then you feed." Louise smiled. "Tell the boys that I'm okay and I thank them for keeping my memory alive." She sadly smiled, "Tell Noah..." she paused before shaking her head, "He already knows."

"Liv? Can you open your eyes for me?"

"Have you told Noah?"

"No." The male voice scoffed, "Of course I've told him! I don't want him to rip my head off." The bedroom door slammed against the wall, "Finally!" The voice chuckled, "You ready to meet your new and improved girlfriend?"

"Is she actually waking because I swear to God Folio I'll stake you myself if you're lying." A second male spoke. "Liv? Baby? Can you open your eyes for me?" The second voice said with concern. "Marie tell Nicholas I might need him on standby."

"Will do and Noah? I'm really happy for you two."

My eyes started to flutter open to be met with the faces of the two males that had been speaking.

"Liv Bear!"
