Father stared intently into space. Mother and Margaret looked awkwardly at Father. I glance at Benjamin, in nervousness. Ben read my mind and squeezed my hand reassuringly. Don't worry, Liz. Benjamin said, through our mind link. I gulp and squeeze his hand back. I look at him. He gave me a tiny smile. I try to smile back.
"I think that's wonderful, Elizabeth." Dad spoke after a long moment. I let out a sigh of relief. "You do?" I smile widely. He nodded.
"Yes. I do. I think you should leave for Toronto tomorrow tonight. Benjamin can accompany, if that's okay with you, Benjamin?" Dad said. "I'd be happy to." Benjamin replied, smiling. I smile brightly.
Dad walked to me and kissed my forehead. "I love you, dear." I hug him tightly. He hugged back. "Love you too, Dad."
We pull away and I turn to Margaret. "I need you to do a locating spell," I said. "Kay." She replied. We walk upstairs to her room. She opened her door and we walk in. She started putting candles and the map. She handed me a pocket knife. I cut my palm and my blood drops to the map.
Margaret started muttering some spells and my blood travelled to Toronto and to Queen street. Margaret opened her eyes. "Queen street," said she, looking at the map. I nod. She blew out the candles. We smile at each other. I finally get to see my child.

"Ok, the next time I see you coming in through this door, I want to see my grandson in your arms," said Dad, kissing my cheek. "Dad, you know it's going to be in me." I laugh. "Oh. I didn't know that, sorry," said Father. I smile and turn to my step mum. Mother smiled at me. "We are so proud of you, Elizabeth. So proud." I kiss her cheek and hug her tightly. She hugged back and ruffled my blonde hair.
I pull away and turn to Margaret. She smiles at me. I give her a tiny smile. "We should get going," Benjamin said. I turn around and nod at him. "Bye guys." I wave. They wave back and me and Benjamin walk down the porch.
We walk to Benjamin's car. He opened the door for me. I get in and he closed the door. He super sped to his side and got in. I roll the windows down and my family smiled at me. I smile back and Benjamin drove off. Thoughts drift in my mind. My heartbreaking goodbye with Justin...
Flashback~\<♡
"Justin, I need to talk to you." I feel tears pricking in my eyes. Justin frowned and held my hand, as we walk by the sidewalk. "Ok. Go on." He said, anxiously. I gulp. "I can't do this anymore." I say, my eyes filled with tears. "You can't what?" He said confusedly.
We stop walking. I wrap my hands around his neck. "I can't be with you anymore, Justin. I can't do this anymore. I'm so sorry." I cry silently. I look at him. Pure shock was written on his eyes. "But, don't you love me? I thought that..." he trailed off, tears forming in his eyes.
"Justin, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean any of this to happen." I say. He looked away. "Well, um, it's all good. I don't m-mind. W-Well I-I'll see you around, bye." He said, trembling. I can feel his heart rate beat fast. A tear slipped from his eye. He quickly walked away. I sob quietly.
I quickly drove to my home and went to my room. That night, I cried myself to sleep.
Flashback ends ~\<♡●°☆
I shut my eyes tight. Benjamin glanced at me. "I'm sorry, Elizabeth." He said, quietly. I force my tears back. "Trust me. I am too." I said.
He sighed and stared back at the road. I tremble slightly. My phone rings loudly. I answer it without looking. "Hello?"
"Liz.. hey," said the voice of Justin. I smile. "Justin. How are you?" I ask. Benjamin glanced over at me. "I'm fine. I just wanted to say bye, you know. When will you be back from Toronto?" He asked, casually. But, I could tell he was hurt.
"Three days later." We fell in a silence, just hearing our breaths. "Say something," I said, my voice barely audible. But, I knew he heard me.
"What do you want me to say, Liz?" He spoke softly. "I mean, I should be mad at you for what you did, but-" I cut him off by saying, "You have every right to be angry with me. I get it."
"That's the problem, Elizabeth. I don't wanna hate you. Because if I hate you, I have nothing left," he said, broken. I let out a sob before I can stop it. Ben turned to look at me. "I'm sorry. This is all my fault. I want to be with you, Justin. But, I don't want to ruin your life, by telling you my secret. I'm bad, Justin. I'm bad."
"Just tell me," he said. I sigh. "Fine. I... I'll tell you."
"I'll meet you after three days later then." He said sounding, hopeful. "Bye," I hang up the phone.
"You're going to tell him, huh?" Benjamin asked. I turn to him. I could hear the bitterness in his voice. I don't reply. I'm fed up of this love triangle. I want this to stop.
"I love him, Ben," I said, my voice sounding broken. "I'm sorry. But, I do." I say. He gave me a small smile, as he sped down the road. "Yeah, yeah. It's always gonna be Justin. I get it. Don't worry."
"I'm sorry," said I. He didn't reply. I sighed and lean back. I stare out in the darkness of the road and fall into deep slumber. That night, I have nightmares about the vampire hunters attacking my family. I see the hunters shooting them. I can't do anything. I'm powerless.
