Chapter 12 - Back Together

Brian's POV

"Lana, there is nothing here!"

"For god's sakes Brian, it's right there!"

"Where?"

"There!"

"Where there?"

"Oh my god Brian, there!"

"Well I can't see it!"

"Well maybe if you pulled your head out of your ass you would see it!"

"Well maybe if stopped being such an annoying bitch and explain to me properly where it is I would find it!"

"That's it! I'm calling Alison!"

"Don't you dare! I told you I don't want her to be in danger!" I yelled. Me and Lana had been fighting for the last thirty minutes over the position of one of her grimoires. Nothing was working straight without Alison, and even though I missed her like hell, I refused to bring her back.

"But I can protect her! Hell, you can protect her! I know you want to Brian, I know what you feel for her, so don't torture yourself, just bring her back!"

"You don't know anything!" I shouted back. It was taking all my energy just to control my temptations, but I couldn't let go. Lana took a deep breath and slowly advanced towards me. She took a place beside me as I buried my head in my hands. She remained silent a few minutes before she spoke.

"I know you love her" my head snapped up at her comment and looked at her in utter astonishment. My mouth opened to speak but she cut me off, putting her hand up in front of my face. "Don't even try to deny it. I'm a witch, I can feel read your emotions, and I know you love her, even if you yourself don't know that yet. So take my word on this, and call her back." But, do I love Alison? Either way, I couldn't have her.

"I can't. I can't protect her Lana. Your mother turned me into this... monster. I can't go back, and I can't give Alison the life that she deserves. I can't. So it's better if she stays out of this." I said, elevating from my chair walking out the living room to the kitchen. I could hear Lana's footsteps follow, but I didn't stop.

"So that's it then? You're just going to give up? Just like that?" Her voice echoed through the passages of the castle. I stopped, and turned around.

"There is nothing to give up on"

"Yes there is, and you know it" I sighed and continued walking towards the kitchen. Upon arriving, I picked out a blood bag from the fridge and opened it up, popping it in my mouth. "We are better with her" I crumpled the empty blood bag and threw it in the bin closest to me, now pacing the room.

Just then, the sound of the front doors opening was heard, followed by footsteps and whispering. Me and Lana were on alert, walking slowly towards the entrance to catch the intruders. The whispering got louder and louder as we approached. It sounded like... female voices? We suddenly jumped out of the dark, catching the intruders. Lana caught one and I caught the other.

"Aghhhhhhhhh" female voices were heard again coming from our intruders. Why do they sound so familiar? I let go of the girl and looked at her face, shocking myself.

"Alison?"

Alison's POV

"Aghhhhhhhhh" We yelled as they tackled us to the ground.

"Alison?" I heard Brian question in shock as he let go of me, the warmth of his hands leaving my body as he stood up. He offered me his hand, and I took it, bringing myself up.

"Yes Alison! What the hell was that for?" I shouted.

"I'm sorry, I just didn't think you would co-"

"Well you thought wrong" I cut him off. For once, I wasn't going to let him get away with it, I was going to boss him around and make him beg for forgiveness himself.

"Alison, I told you, this is dangerous and-"

"And nonesense!" I interrupted again "This is my life and I make my own decisions than you very much. I choose to put my life in danger - if that's what it takes - but I will get to the bottom of this." For a nice while we just stared at each other, not saying anything. Just feeling each other's presence. A cough broke our staring contest and I turned around to realize that Paisley was still there, un-introduced. "Oh right sorry! Brian, Lana, this is Paisley, the newest member of our gang and my best friend. Pais, this is Brian and this is Lana, Laura's mother."

"She knows ha?" Lana asked as she shook Paisley's hand.

"Yes, and she is completely alright with it and has agreed to help us." Paisley shook Brian's hand as he looked at her in suspicion. When his eyes met mine, I gave him the look which caused him to change his glare into a something that resembled a smile. "Very well, let's get to work shall we? We have lot's to do" I announced, pulling Pais with me, walking into the kitchen.

We continued doing our research in silence, but the whole time, I could feel Brian's eyes boring wholes at the side of my head. It was making me uncomfortable, but at the same time it was somewhat comical to watch him behave that way.

"Well, there is nothing here. There are more books in the library of the castle, I'm going to get them" I announced, getting up from the chair.

"Brian, why don't you give her a hand?" Lana said a second later, leaving me dead in my tracks. I glared at her whilst she fake smiled at me and turned around, heading towards the library as Brian silently followed.

We travelled in silence, not speaking a word to each other. Upon arriving, I walked straight in and started scanning the area for useful books. The spine of a particular one caught my eye in the top shelf and I instantly started climbing the ladder to reach it.

"Alison wait, the ladder is brok-" Brian started, but it was too late. I heard the crack of the ladder and felt myself being pulled down by the extreme force of gravity towards the floor. I shrieked, covering my face with my hands and waited for the impact of the ground. But none came.

Seconds, minutes passed. But nothing came. Peeling my hands away from my face slowly, I found myself securely placed in Brian's arms. I caught my breath and placed my hand over my beating heart.

"Thank you" I whispered to him. He looked right into my eyes and I didn't look away. Sparks were flying through my system and every fibre in my body was screaming at me to connect my lips to his. I could feel the closeness of our faces, the rare details of his face. His bright brown eyes, and his tousled hair. The way his facial hair was perfectly shaved. I was losing my self control but the moment was soon broken by the sound of his soft whisper.

"What are you doing to me?"
