"Alright, alright. You all had your laugh, now bring the cameras out. Lucien, Jaycon! You can come out now!" I yelled and waited for them to pop out of no where and start laughing.

I waited for a minute but no such thing happened.

Dimitri and 'Rosanna' just have me a smug look and silently laughed to themselves.

"You can stop dreaming the impossible now, human," Fake bitch smirked and my heart thumped loudly against my chest.

This was real.

Holy shit, this was actually happening!

I was shocked, confused and angry. I really wanted for all of this to just be a misunderstanding but it was reality.

I had absolutely no idea if Lucien knew I was gone. Heck, he might not have even cared. My heart wrenched and stomach turned unpleasantly. Would he even come to look for me? He could always replace me.

"What do you want with me?" I spat at Dimitri and Rosanna who continued to stare at me and find amusement at my depressed and confused state.

"You are something rare and of extensive use to us," Dimitri answered and he wrapped an arm around Rosanna's waist when he said 'us'.

What was I? Some sort of cocaine or saffron spice? Jeez, I hated when they answered in riddles. I would've been happier if they just said, "I want to kill you because seeing people dying in agony gives me pleasure" or "I love to confuse people and get them worked up".

"Could you perhaps elaborate on that?" I scowled and crossed my arms over my chest.

"Soon I will. But for now, I need to make sure you don't escape as I will be utterly disappointed to lose something I worked so hard to get," Dimitri said in a pitying voice, "Besides, I got Lucien to sell me the woodland that he owns faster than I thought. As you can see, all is going well for me."

"What is up with that woodland anyway? Are you trying to find Little Red Ridinghood in there or something?" I scoffed as Dimitri grinned at my remark.

"No but something even better than that," He answered. He pulled Rosanna closer to him and kissed her on the cheek.

I almost vomited on the spot. Don't they understand that PDA is not tolerated in public?

I cleared my throat.

"Are you actually the Rosanna? I thought that you were supposed to be dead...and nicer," I questioned while Rosanna have me a disgusted look.

"I was never dead and never will be," She sneered, "And as for nice, time can change people."

"How long were you 'dead'?" I said doing air quotes.

She looked at me out the corner of her eye.

"To me, I was only 'dead' for 4 days but to other people I was dead for 83 years."

My mouth dropped. I thought she only died maybe a few years ago. Never had I expected it to be that long.

"That's impossible. How can come back from the dead four days later? They said you were dead. End of story." I smirked but she didn't seem hesitant about answering.

"I was dead. My heart had stopped, my body was pale and I had no pulse. I had cut my hand and dripped my blood across Lucien, then I went into the basement and slit my throat. After when I came back to life, my whole body was healed. This was all achieved with the help of a witch friend of Dimitri's," She smirked back at me.

One thing I hated about this world, there was a loophole for anything.

People that should've been dead couldn't stay dead.

There was a good and bad side to that. But not everybody used the opportunity in a good way.

"What are you now?" I asked her and she gave me a sly grin.

"Before, when I was with Lucien, I was a weak little human but now I'm a vampire. Dimitri gave me something that Lucien was too selfish to give me himself; immortality and everlasting beauty. Young and beautiful for eternity." She announced proudly and she gave Dimitri a loving smile. A smile of appreciation and love, something that made me see what she used to be like before her transformation.

"Why did you do it? Why did you do that to Lucien?" I whispered.

She gave me a hard look but I could see a slight trace of guilt and pain behind them.

"Lucien never paid me any attention. He never showed any sign of caring or kindness. He never loved me," She scowled.

"That's not true! He loved you. He's just not the type to express it. If you would've just given him a chance to show you how much he loved you-"

"Don't talk to me about love, human!" Rosanna shouted, cutting me off midsentence, "He never treated you any better than me, did he?"

I opened my mouth to say something but no words came out so I closed it.

It was true, he never cared about me that much. But something between me and him pulled us together. An undeniable attraction. He deserved a chance. Everybody did. It was only up to them on how they were going to use it.

"Besides, Rosanna is too good for him. He didn't deserve her," Dimitri spoke up.

He looked at me like he was waiting to see how I would react. His green eyes so familiar yet so unrecognisable. There was something in his eyes that told me he was older than he let on. Older as in experienced deaths, new life, love, murders, betrayal all of which everybody wouldn't have experienced in that short amount of time.

"How old are you? I know you're a vampire but I want your real age," I narrowed my eyes at him and waited for his response.

"I take on the appearance of a 29 year old man but I'm actually 216 years old," He said and my eyes nearly popped out of my head. I knew he was old but not that old. Maybe 80-90 years tops.

"What do you need me for? What am I even?" I muttered the last question to myself.

"You really want to know?" Rosanna asked raising an eyebrow.

I didn't say anything. I wasn't sure if I wanted to know. The truth can be a scary thing. Especially if it involved you.

I slumped against the wall and slid down. I pulled my legs against my chest and let my head fall back against the wall.

Rosanna walked over to me and squatted down until she was at the same level I was.

"You are a descendent of the Hecatisha Coven. You know what that means?"

Of course, I do. I'm a walking dictionary. Not the obvious sarcasm.

"It means you're a witch."
