One Last Hope

Three

Elena got up from the dinner table after eating with her new family. Jasmine and Kaylee were being awful quiet.

"They look kind of.. scared. Are they scared of us? I don't think so..." Elena thought to herself.

"Come on, this is your room." Cristal lead them to their room.

"We have our own room?" Jasmine asked.

"Not exactly. This room is two story's or you know, what most people call a loft. You guys get the top!" Elena explained.

"So.. in order for anyone to get into our room, they would need to get into yours first?" Kaylee lit up.

"Yeah. Why?" Elena asked.

"Nothing.. that's just great!" She smiled a bit and looked at Jasmine who was smiling, too.

"Mom, I'm going over to Peter's house!" Elena yelled to her mother, grabbing her bag. She ran down the stairs and toward Jennifer.

"Be back by ten. You know the rules." Jennifer ordered, handing her a sweater.

"Yeah, yeah.. I know." Elena mumbled, turning around to see Jon standing right at the door.

She got scared and jumped like a scaredy cat. He stared at her as she stood silent for a few seconds.

"You forgot your phone." He said, handing it to her, smiling.

She reached for it slowly. "Thanks," She said, pushing him aside, running out the door.

She ran all the way to her boyfriends house. It was a peach colored not too old, not too new looking house. A house that is filled with great memories for Elena.

"Hey!" Peter, her boyfriend, ran to her, picked her up in his arms and kissed her.

"Ahhh! I'm being kidnapped by a very handsome man!" She loudly announced, laughing, making him chase her.

They went around like crazy people yelling and laughing.

"It's amazing.. our relationship was everything I always wanted." Elena thought.

"So how did it go?" He asked calmly, sitting next to her.

"What, with my new stepsisters?" She sighed.

"Yeah, are they creepy, ugly or SUPER MEGA UGLY CREEPY?" He joked.

"Peter! Shut up," She laughed, "No.. they are.. mysterious."

"Oh! I know.. they're murderers!" He said in a wannabe scary deep voice.

"No, but their dad is kinda creepy! He was totally staring at me today." She whispered, dead serious.

"Tell him to back off, cause your taken." He smirked.

"Im serious, Peter. The girls looked so scared!" She started to think.

"Of course they're scared, Elena. They moved to another state, another city!" He started to make sense.

"I guess.." She layed her head on his shoulder.

************* 

Peter watched as his girlfriend quietly went into her house, blowing him a kiss.

She shut the door and turned off the light.

"Is she gone?" The voice coming from Peter's cell phone said.

"Yeah.. She's gone." He whispered into the phone.

"Good, does she suspect anything yet?" The voice said.

"No, she suspects nothing, Jon." He told Jon, Elena's soon to be step father.

"Thats even better. Remember what you have to do, Peter." He spoke up.

"Yes, sir. I know exactly what I have to do." Peter smirked, hanging up.
