Lucys pov

Helena walked over to the box, looking quite cautious, considering that it was just a box. Although, the things inside of the box could possibly expose the Drakes to any possible reader.

How nice that would be.

Quinn and Connor, the twins, walked in and over to their Mum. They peered over the side of Helena's shoulder at the blurb she was reading. It was the one with Quinn on the front. She narrowed her eyes at what she saw, and Quinn looked actually quite honestly surprised.

"I'm . . . My name's on the back of that book," he said, eyes widening. She flipped it over to show him the front. I swear that his eyes fell out of the sockets that held them.

"And . . . I'm on the front."

Connor grabbed Hearts at Stake and skimmed through the pages, as Nicholas read over My Love Lies Bleeding's back

"No way," Connor suddenly gasped, and then started to laugh uncontrollably.

"What?" Solange asked; she seemed quite scared. It made sense. I'd be freaked out, too, if my face was on the front cover of a book named Hearts at Stake if I was going to be a vampire when I turned sixteen.

Didn't she live life the real way?

"You two,' he laughed and pointed to Nicholas and me, "kiss!"

I couldn't have been more horrified in my entire life.

"What?" I and Nicholas asked sharply.

"No, no, no, no, no," I yelled into thin air, grabbing the book off of Connor, and scratching him in the process. He yelped; it would have been funny if I had just found out that . . . Never mind. I read the blurb again, but full this time. I read it aloud.

"'They're close,' she murmured. 'Watching.'

'Run, ' I suggested. 'Like right now? '

She shook her head. 'If we act like prey, they act like predators.'

Solange has always known that she is a vampire, and as the only female vampire born, not initiated, she is surrounded by danger on all sides- from other vampire tribes who want to take her blood into their lineage, and the bounty hunters who are set on destroying her and her family. Nice to know. When she is- What, now?"

"What?" Quinn asked me when I stopped reading.

"When she is kidnapped, it is up to her elder brother Nicholas and best friend Lucy to save her. But can Lucy save herself from Nicholas who tempts her with his every look- what will be her fate if she surrenders her heart to a vampire?" I stopped reading and looked at Solange, who was laughing so much that she was beginning to crumble to the ground. By the looks of her brothers (excluding Nicholas, who was staring at me), they were about to join her.

And then I passed out.

Solange POV

Lucy fainted, and almost fell to the floor, where I was lying, still laughing. She would have fallen on top of Quinn if Marcus hadn't of walked in and caught her.

'Shouldn't that be Nicholas doing that?" Quinn laughed. I giggled, holding my ribs; they were starting to hurt, now.

"What are you guys laughing about?" Marcus asked us.

"Nicholas . . . kissed Lucy!" Connor laughed. My brother dropped Lucy.

'What? And I missed it!" he yelled. By now, Nicholas' face was red.

"NO, in the... ...book," I finally got out.

"What book?" Marcus looked confused.

"That one," I said, still giggling underneath my breath, I pointed to the book that was now accompanied by me, Quinn and Connor on the floor. He picked it up and read the last few pages.

"And I'd actually caught Nicholas sending roses to Lucy's house. And they were on the phone to each other all the time?" It was a question. He laughed just as hard as us.

Even my Mom was laughing, and Dad had the faintest smile on his lips. God.

The rest of my brothers walked into the room, wondering what was going on that was making us giggle and laugh. We told them, and they grabbed a book each. Dad took the note from inside of the box and read over it.

"Well, it doesn't say who it's from. It also mentions that this is our futures . . ." he trailed off; never a good sign.

Right.

Because Lucy and Nicholas, the famous fighters would kiss! Ha!

He did act weird around her, and not just the obnoxious fighting and arguing over simple things . . . I shivered at the thought and shook it out of my head.

Nicholas POV

What? No one could find out about my childish crush on Lucy! My life would become a living hell if it got around! I was just hoping that I didn't tell her about it in the book ...

Oh, who was I kidding? We kissed! AND I sent her flowers! Jeez.

"Nicky, you have a lot to explain," said Quinn, who was flicking through pages of the damned book.

'Nicholas, Nicholas," my bother Connor joined in. He sounded like a disappointed parent. "What has gone on, this last decade? Love, perhaps?"

"Shut up, man," I growled low in my throat, which only caused them to laugh even more. "Who knew a damn book could ruin your life?" I muttered under my breath.

"Oh, your life's not ruined," Logan assured me. He was now  officially my favourite brother. "Yet." Right, favourite brother role, up for grabs! You don't actually have to be my brother!

"WE are going to make you kiss Dizzy over there," threatened Quinn. NO.

"And I'll help," Solange suggested. Favourite sister, also available! "I'll make Lucy kiss him! No. Matter. What."

"Joy," I said, before running for my life.
