Dark Hearts

chapter 8

Daphnie's pov

1 week later (now)

Its been about a week since I was turned into a vampire and a week since I started training.

Now, Im fully able to control myself and have learned how to cover up a situation if I get caught or if I do almost go out of control.

So right now Im sitting on the couch watching tv trying to see if there's something good on when something catches my eye.

The news

I begin to watch it and see that there are people putting up flyers of a girl and see people interviewing locals that I knew and are asking them about some missing girl, but then I see the reporter interview a group of kids.

Its my friends

And the reporter continues

So can you explain to us what did happen that day? 

"Well" says Eleanor. She looks as if she were crying for days. "it was Sunday morning and she came downstairs dressed and said she was going to go out for a while and um told us not to burn the house down" she said trying to laugh and smile, but what was supposed to be a laugh sounded like a sob and everyone else tried to smile and she continued

Wait, that story sounds familiar...wait

Shes talking about me..

Im the one whos missing..

"So after a while, it was 5:30pm and she still hasn't came back, but we didn't really think anything of it assuming she probably went shopping or something"

"She loved to shop" Perrie mumbled "We used to go shopping"

I could see a couple of tears roll down her cheeks even though she was looking down.

Zayn put a hand on her shoulder but she whipped away still looking down

"Don't touch me Zayn. Don't try to comfort me telling me everythings g-gonna be alright  when our friend is s-still missing."

She then started to break down crying and Zayn had to carry her off camera. Eleanor watched our poor friend being carried way while she still continued

"So um as I was saying, after we waited and waited, it finally was 2:00am in the morning and we were still waiting wide awake. So then we waited some more thinking that she could've gone to the club and slept over at someone's house or something. Then it became 8:00 am and then we went out and called the people she knew that she might go to but they all said she wasn't there. Then we checked the beach.."

She seemed to pause and a little sob came out of her mouth. Then Niall who was in the corner looking down who was silent but when he looked up when she brought up the beach, poor Niall's face was pale and under his eyes were dark bags under his eyes and his eyes were red and his cheeks were wet and had tears pouring over his cheeks.

"We used to go to the beach...We used to think....We used to" I heard Niall mumble

I could see how much Niall was affected by when she brought up the beach. The beach was where me and Niall used to go hang out, think, cry, and have fun. We went there every day at sunset cause that's when no one was there and it was always the most prettiest time to see the sunset and hear the quiet waves wash onto the shore. We went there ever since freshman year when we first became friends and we've always went there ever since. Me and Niall are in love, but not the kind of boyfriend/girlfriend. We love eachother like siblings. Hes like a brother to me and Im like a sister to him. It hurts to see how much this is hurting him. We've never missed one day since freshman year of going to the beach.

This is the first and longest time we have.....

Eleanor continued

"So then when she wasn't at the beach we went right to the police and they were great and started right away. Soon but I don't know how, but the word spread like a wild fire so quickly and everyone was helping and handing out flyers, and now here we are, on the news."

"It hasn't been the same without her" she said giving a weak smile. Shes happy telling them about me.

"Its a lot more quiet than it was when she wasn't here. She was always the star of the party and everyone who knew her loved her. And even if they didn't show it, or even bullied her, me and my friends knew that they were only jealous. Daphnie I think was one of the most prettiest girls I've ever met. She could be a model you know" I could see how bright her eyes shone when she bragged about me and how big her smile got. My eyes started to tear up listening to her

"She could be a model on a magazine. She has long wavy but PERFECT black hair that never tangled no matter what and she never needed make up, and she never wore it. That was what was one of the many great things about her. she didn't need the make up to make her beautiful because she already was. She never felt the need to be someone she wasn't and always stood up for what she believed in and always had a twinkle in her eye. She doesn't know this but ALLL the boys like her at school. And I mean all of them." her huge smile faded and her eyes began to water and become dull and sad

"We really do miss you Daphnie. I hope you're alright because if your not Im gonna kill you. J-just p-please c-come home! W-wherever y-you are" then she finally broke and fell onto her knees and started sobbing loudly. I could see the reporter trying to comfort her and Louis picking her up and carrying her away. Then the reporter turned back to the camera with tears in her eyes also.

"W-why is that t-thing still on? T-turn it o-off!" she says and then the camera shuts off and flips to another channel.

Tears are now filling my eyes and im quietly sobbing, but of course Connor could hear me and came up to me and put me on his lap.

After a few minutes of crying, I finally calmed down and he lifted my chin to reach his gaze.

"You wanna go back don't you?" he says

"I have to these are my friends. And they're dying of heartbreak right now probably thinking Im dead or something. I cant spend the rest of my life in hiding. We will still visit eachother and we will still be together. Okay?"

He sighs but looks at me once again

"Are you going to tell them about you then?" he asks

I then stop and think for a moment.

How will they react? Will they scream and call animal control? Will they kill me? Will they try to build everyone against me?

Wait this is MY friends we're talking about.

The girls LOVE twilight and I KNOW that the boys love it too. I saw them crying a little when everyone thought Bella was dead in Breaking Dawn Pt1.

Softies...

I finally come to my decision

"Yeah. Im gonna tell them"
