Brighter Now

Chapter 3

"I think there's something wrong with me," Adira told her best friend the next day. They had just put kids to sleep, so now they were cleaning after them. Adira had read them a story about Peter Pan.

"You mean besides your obsession over the vampire diaries?" Sierra joked. She was wearing orange tank top and jeans. Adira was wearing white top and black jeans. Sierra had to keep her long brown hair in a pony tail, since children liked to play with long hair.

"I am not obsessed over it!" Adira whisper yelled.

"Really?" Sierra asked her, dryly.

"I am only obsessed over klaroline, OK?" She could admit truthfully that she was obsessed over her OTP, but she wasn't obsessed over the show. She didn't even know how she could finish the latest season.

"Fine. So what's wrong with you, then?" Sierra asked. She really didn't want to hear about klaroline again. Her friend was obsessed with that pairing and it could be annoying to hear about it all the time.

"I was kinda... kidnapped yesterday," Adira admitted.

"What?" Sierra yelled.

"Shh! Don't wake the kids," Adira told her friend, firmly.

"You were what?"

"Kidnapped," Adira told her.

"How can you be kinda kidnapped?" Sierra wondered aloud.

"You know the usual. Sookie Stackhouse called me and sold me to these two vampires," Adira told her, biting her nails.

"Oh my God! Why would she do that? I always thought she was nice. Wait-- Is that why you think there's something wrong with you? Because of her?"

"I know right! She always seemed so nice but from what I figured out Eric blackmailed her,"Adira told her friend.

"And what was more important than other person's life?" Sierra asked, mad at Sookie Stackhouse.

"You know Lafayette right," Adira asked and waited until Sierra nodded her head, "They kidnapped him and were torturing him. They promised to let him go,if Sookie brought me to them."

"How did you get away?"

"I didn't. That's the thing," Adira said.

"What? They just let you go?"

"Yes. I spend the whole night with talking with one of them. His name is Godric," Adira sighted.

"Wait a minute. You're not saying you fell in love with this Godric, right?"

"Of course not! But--"

"But what?" Sierra wondered aloud.

"We kissed and instead of running away I--I took my jacket off and spend the whole night talking to him about everything and anything," Adira admitted.

"What?!," Sierra whisper-yelled, "Are you crazy?"

"Exactly! That's why I think there's something wrong with me. I even let him walk me home."

"Maybe you're mates?" Sierra wondered aloud.

"Don't be crazy, Sierra."

"How is that crazy? Isn't that a thing that happens in those weird books you read?"

"They are only books and besides they are werewolf books. Godric is a vampire, not a werewolf," Adira informed her friend.

"Then I don't know what's wrong with you but be careful. Vampires might seem cool in your books but this is the real life."

"I know. What do you think I should do about Godric? I really liked him," Adira told her friend.

"If I were you, I would avoid him but if you really, really like him, maybe you should see him and see it yourself, that it's not such a good idea to see him and maybe finally get over Matt," Sierra told her. Matt was her high school sweetheart and her only boyfriend. He was also the only person Adira had had sex with.

"I am over Matty."

"Are you sure? You haven't dated anyone since him," Sierra said.

"I know I haven't and maybe this thing isn't a good idea with Godric but I want to give it a chance. I don't want to wonder, when I'm like 60 what if, what it would've been like."

"Then give him a chance but don't be like Sookie, who forgives everything for that vampire of hers. I will kick your ass if you become like her," Sierra told her.

"Deal!" Adira smiled at her friend.

"How did they know about you anyway?" Sierra wondered aloud.

"I-I-I--"

"Adira?"

"I went there once," Adira finally admitted.

"Why on earth would you go to Fangtasia?"
