“Good idea Alice” said faine nodding.
Now what? I wondered…ME….A….VAMPIRE…….what a load of shite. DRINKING BLOOD ME ARSE….but some part of me acknowledged that that made sense. I could see everything around me including the dust like it were crystal clear, I looked out the window and spotted the MOON???????????/ But how? My eyes much have been damaged in the fire. It looks like broad daylight outside? How the hell is the moon shining? I could see every rock, tree and plant. I could hear cows that were nowhere near here, I could hear a dog-barking, hello I could even hear cars passing but there were no cars for at least 5 miles or so from here. I pinched myself I must be dreaming, a really weird seriously messed up dream. I’m still pregnant and am having one of those weird dreams they talked about to do with hormones in the book. But my skin feels different, hard, but so soft to touch. No dry skin. I rubbed my face to see if my teenage acne had magically disappeared too and was stunned to feel pure soft skin, not a pimple in sight. What the? I needed a mirror, maybe I’m not me anymore, was I not burnt to a crisp in the fire? At that instant in waltzed Alice with a full-length mirror. I stared at the girl looking back at me and didn’t know her. She had my nose and hair and that was about it. The eyes were fiery red. I had a slightly crooked nose where I’d broken a bit off it during one of the countless times my mother had dropped me as a baby…..what? She couldn’t even hang on to me as a baby or did she wish I’d die in the fall? Bitch! The girl staring back at me smiled smugly. She was stunning I so wish I were her. I’d get any fella then including Daniel Moloney who didn’t know I even existed. I reached up to scratch my head and realised the girl in the mirror did too. That is Me.????/ I did a little dance and mirror girl copied me. Hmmmmm this is gonna be interesting. I turned to Faine then and said
“I’m ready to meet everyone else. I know there are a lot of people in this house.” She smiled at me and held out her hand to me. I gladly took it because for all my bravado I didn’t feel at all brave and didn’t know what to expect. We went downstairs, Alice and the blonde-haired man first, then Alec, then me and Faine. Downstairs were lots of people. OH! Great The Family! I thought. I saw one good-looking guy smirk at me as he wrapped his arm around a girl with long brown hair. They seemed to pull back a bit from the others and I wondered why. Faine directed me towards the group and indicated to each one, Jordan and her fiancé, Josh, Katy and her husband Felix, Chelsea and her husband Afton, Valentina and her mate Demitri. There was something drawing me to him and I knew then he was the one who had bitten me so I gave him the dirtiest look that I could give and he hung his head in shame. The woman, Valentina stood in front of him protectively and said
“He couldn’t help it, sorry.” SORRY, what the hell was I supposed to do with that? Flippin sorry, huh by the time I’m done with him he will be sorry I decided. I glared at her too. I looked forward to the first guy who smirked at me and Faine said
“That’s Edward, he’s Alice’s brother and that’s his wife Bella.
“How bout him” I said indicating to the blond fella.
“That’s Jasper, he’s Alice’s husband. And that’s all the family Lottie welcome to the Kerry Coven.” I looked at her incredulously, you’re kidding right, welcome! I hate you all I thought. How fucking cosy you all are I thought and the Edward guy smirked at me again and in less than a heartbeat I was in front of him growling at him poking my finger into his chest
“Who the fuck are you smirking at me for. Do I fucking know you? Well do I? No I don’t so fuck off, does your wife know you’re gawping at me” I turned my back on him and went and stood by Faine. I noticed all the men unconsciously had moved in front of their respective wives and so they should I thought.
“Stop,” said Edward, Faine and Jordan at the same time. I stared at them in wonder, it’s like they could read my mind. I had planned to go and give Demitri a piece of my mind.
