Story of My Life

Chapter 7: Best Friends Reunited

"Look Henry I haven't told Astrid the vampire secret. Now before you go and tell her all this crap that vamps are real just know who is her soul mate no hard feeling?" Jack said holding out his hand waiting for Henry to shake his hand. Henry shook his hand and said "agree! Now let's go tell Astrid." Henry and Jack walked back to the ballroom where I was supposed to be but I wasn't there. Instead I was running to a place that I never told anyone about. A place that I knew I was going to be safe. But, on my way there I smelt blood of an animal. I ran to where the smell of the animal was coming from but, when I got to where the animal was it wasn't even injured it was completely healthy. I started to run to the animal knocking the deer down and onto the ground about to sink my teeth into the animal. But, I stopped myself and said "no this isn't right... This isn't me. I'm a monster now!" I stared at the deer lying on the ground after I got done staring at the innocent deer I helped if up and started running to the place where I used to go as a kid. I finally got to the place I was heading to. But, when I got there it looked way different. Before when my bet friend Annabeth and I used to come out here the house used to be blood red and midnight black but, now it's blue and green with flowers around the house. I went inside the old play house that connected to a twenty-four foot tree that led up to where put beds so we could have a place to camp out in the tree. When I went into the house I smelt cupcakes and muffins. I turned around to see a girl with black and purple hair. She was wearing a strapless black and purple striped shirt and black shorts. Then, she finally said "please don't hurt me! I don't want any harm done." She said. I looked at her like she was familiar to me and she did the same then I said "is your name Annabeth... Annabeth Piper?" She nodded her head yes then said "who are you... You look like one of my old friends but I haven't seen Astrid in forever. Plus Astrid has dirty blonde hair not brown and her eyes are pure blue." I ran up to her and gave her a hug because I have been missing her like crap and could never find her. After I got one hugging her I said "Annabeth it's me... It's me Astrid!"Annabeth looked at me for a minute trying to find where in the world I looked like my old self then she said "OH MY GOSH IT IS YOU... Wait a second what time is it?!" I looked down at my watch then told her 9:45. After I said that she said "come on we don't have much time climb that ladder that goes up to where we put those beds a couple years ago! I'll be up there in a minute!" I ran to the ladder and climbed as quick as I could. Once I got up there I sat on my old bed that I used to sleep on as a kid and wondered why Annabeth smelt like dog.

Meanwhile back at Henry's castle...

"Where would Astrid go? It's not like she would've just left unless..." Jack stopped in his tracks thinking then resumed saying "unless she was going back to her old hang out or she smelt blood somewhere!" Henry nodded his head then said "that's a good point. But werewolves are out by now we can't go they'll us to shreds!" Henry said not wanting to go right now to look for Astrid. "Then, we'll just have to run faster than them and think smarter. Plus if you really want to find out if Astrid is your soul mate then YOU WILL MAN UP AND HELP GO FIBD ASTRID!" Jack said getting furious just think about Astrid but he can't blame her. Henry nodded his head then said "where do we begin? You know Astrid better than any of us including my men." Jack told Henry the plan saying "you and I will go look at the little cabin place where Astrid and her old friend Annabeth use to hang out and your men will go check the forest to see if she went hunting." Henry's men went their separate ways and Jack and Henry went to the direction in which the cabin was.

Once again back at the cabin...

The door to the cabin down stairs opened. I could see from the window where I was there were ten guys outside and two guys inside the cabin down stairs with Annabeth. "Hey babe. Any news for me today?" One of the guys said talking to Annabeth. Annabeth shook her head no but they knew that wasn't true one bit. Then, Annabeth said "ya know I met up with one of my old friends today Lucas." Lucas smirked at her then shook his head towards the door to the other guy to get out. Lucas grabbed Annabeth by the waist then said "we were following a girl for a couple of hours today" Annabeth nodded her head okay the. Lucas continued "yeah she had brown hair with a red streak appearing as she ran this way..." Annabeth turned to face Lucas then said "okay and your point is..." Annabeth tapped her foot waiting for an answer. After a moment of awkward silence in the room he said "she's a vampire that was just turned by the dang blue moon! And surprisingly she knows how to use her abilities she's a quick one. Her friends Prince Henry of the vampires and her boyfriend Jack are looking for her and the councils are helping them!" He paused for a minute then said "she's the one the prophecy stated Annabeth! I'll see you tomorrow. I love you." After Lucas said that he kissed Annabeth goodbye then walked out the door.

And outside the playhouse cabin...

"Okay boys she's still out in the woods somewhere..." He said smiling "let's go catch ourselves a newbie vamp!" Then all of the guys turned into wolfs and ran into the woods.

Meanwhile back where ever Jack and Henry are...

"I hear howls from about two miles away we need to find Astrid fast!" Jack said pulling out one of Astrids' necklaces she left with him before she left. He gave the necklace to Henry to track her and finally Henry got her scent and started running "follow me slow poke!" Henry said starting to run. Henry and Jack finally got to the play house cabin and went in. "She's here I sense her but someone is also her!" Jack said Henry you stay down here and look around I'll go up this ladder." Jack said as he walk towards the ladder. "Someone's here!" Annabeth said as she looked down out of the window. I smelt a scent I've smelt before "Jack... Henry!" I yelled getting all excited. Annabeth looked at me all confused then said "what do you mean Jack and Henry that's impossible how would they have found you the only people that know where this place is me, you and my pack. Unless they had something of yours and they tracked you here. Is Henry the prince?" I nodded my head yes then Annabeth said "that explains it Henry can track people that's why." The door that leads to the room up in the tree opened and Jack came up out of the hole. "I found her Henry!" Jack yelled down to Henry. "Okay but you might want to hurry it up we got company!" Henry yelled back because there was a pack of wolfs heading towards the cabin. "Wait I can deal with them! I have to deal with those butt heads all the time plus one is my boyfriend." Annabeth said then she said "come with me down stairs before Henry becomes lunch for the pack!" We followed Annabeth down the added and out the door. "Ahh Annabeth you found newbie vamp and her two loverboy." Lucas said smirking. "Leave them alone Lucas" Annabeth said trying to get Lucas and his pack to back off then resumed saying "Astrid came here trying to get away from everything she didn't even know I was here until I walked into the front door a while ago!" Then Annabeth pushed Lucas back as he tryed to walk over to Astrid. "Come on Astrid we're leaving!" Jack and Henry said trying to get Astrid to run. "Why run when I can teleport!" I said trying to explain. "Y...you... You can teleport!" Henry said getting closer to her. I nodded my head then told them to hold on to me and don't let go no matter what! After that we were all back in Henry's castle I made sure that I didn't bring the wolf pack with so I made sure it was just Henry, Jack and I. We were all there.
